Ahahah he's been like that for some time already, just doesn't realize how deep he's already is while being 'yo, this is my man, you really can't have him, I am the one who takes him home~'. I really can't wait to see what will happen when the protagonist of the story will appear.

CHAPTER 31

Recalling the situation, HC and SQS drive home in Han car with the driver, since both drank. SQS announced his decision to take part in a draft. There will be many HC inner exclamations.
HC asked how much was the fee, SQS couldn't say for sure, but within 50-100k which he has. But also added that HC shouldn't worry, he'll leave for few months and will come back shortly. HC was shocked.
HC: Are you leaving? A few months?! You tell me clearly, where are you going to go? My temple can no longer accommodate your big Buddha? Are you planning to open your eyes to see the world and look for a new driver?
The driver behind the wheel didn't get it and actually offered his services since he was a cheap and experienced driver (  ) HC told him to roll, which made the driver wonder if this young master will rob other people of their job.
SQS: Of course not. This is a draft regulation, and everyone who participates in the draft must stay in a dormitory.
HC already felt bad thinking there would be so many people, fresh meat etc. So he refused again.
SQS wondered why he kept refusing, he didn't need his consent. And fell asleep on his knees. HC angrily tried to pinch his face but SQS held his hand after that. HC went through inner torments, baffled that what if SQS joins crews, leaves for months, then becomes someone else's car. He could have hit it off with him, why not with others. Anyway he was overfilled with worries cursing SQS for being a scum man - How could he encounter such a scumbag car, without car stability at all!
(this phrase killed me xD but of course it has a comedic effect, his cursing, he's just too shocked for the moment)
They soon arrived home and looking at sleepy SQS who had such a look he couldn't stop worrying again - just look at him, what will happen with him in entertainment world, that den with tigers and wolves!
SQS went to wash and HC followed worried he's too sleepy to wash and again tried to ask not to go.
HC: Then if you finish the draft, the agent says you need to live together?
SQS: Then live together.
HC: What should I do? How can I drive alone?
SQS, seriously: Then we will dissolve this relationship when I go to the draft, and when I finish the selection, we will see whether to continue.
HC: !!!

HC - This scumbag! His conscience really won't hurt! Because he has no heart at all!
HC: I knew it! People want to make a debut in the draft, but you, you want to go out with so many people, sure enough for you to choose a driver you like.
SQS: ??? *laughing he looked at HC* I said I didn't want to find a new driver.
HC: You have to dissolve the driver agreement with me.
SQS: I will definitely not be able to accompany you on the road, so I let you be free and you can go to other cars.
HC: Is it because I want to find another car or you want to find another driver, I didn’t say that I wanted another car.
SQS: ... Then you wait for me to do it. I should have time after the few months of lodging.
HC: Then what if your company allows your team members to stay together?
SQS, coaxing: I come back to see you secretly, okay?

HC had his anger level decrease, but still was dissatisfied that meeting will be in secret, so SQS had no choice but to kiss and hug to appease.
HC, hugging: So can't you stop going?
SQS: This is my career plan. I cannot change my career plan for you, and once I change it, if I regret it and become dissatisfied in the future, I will blame you, and you will feel guilty. This is not good for us.
HC didn't speak after that.
SQS: So just let it go, I promise I will definitely not go to other drivers, I just go out to work, not out to make appointments, you have to have confidence in yourself. And also in me. Didn't I say I'm your private car?

After which SQS initiated making out and making love.
While SQS fell asleep HC was thinking about what was said. he never bothered about many things that happened in his life, his parents did a lot, people outside weren't making troubles with him, he could freely acts as he wanted, but after living together for some time he couldn't help but worry about SQS, but what SQS said was absolutely correct, although he liked SQS being home and waiting for him, but it was SQS's life and he had no right to intervene.
In the morning SQS was wondering why HC is still sleeping. Which made HC baffled again, so he asked if he spoils the view? To which SQS said that no, but usually he would go make breakfast. Which made HC even more shocked, he provides house, food, night services and what does he get? He is like a nanny a long-term worker. And what a dedicated worker he was. So HC asked for breakfast from SQS but SQS confessed he can only give him instant noodles, he can't really cook (was actor in previous life, so yeah). When cooked SQS himself didn't want to eat, but HC did eat, although those noodles were just ordinary, not in comparison to what HC makes himself. So HC could only sigh and think that he should continue cook himself. Life is not easy!
After that HC went to work and SQS continued his yellow novel.
But back in his office HC was still worried. Its not easy to be a driver. But this time he received a message from YMY, they talked a bit about personal matters, but hearing about inquiry on YJY he couldn't say what really was his relationship with SQS, since everyone asked if he was actually in love, but couldn't help but say that YJY didn't like him as he showed, but he can't tell in details, since he doesn't want to embarrass himself. YMY as a friend of HC since elementary knew that what might have happened in between might have wronged HC, even if HC never told the details, but he knew him well that it should be something that made HC feel really bad and also from attitude of HC the last time he got the idea of what HC was thinking about YJY. So he dropped the topic. HC was actually surprised, that everyone could see the image of YJY liking him, but he knew best, yet he couldn't say it aloud. But YMY also warned HC if it's like this then while YJY doesn't like SQS he should let him bully him.
After they finished HC received an answer from a friend who he asked if he had time and he has a friend who wants debut.
I skipped on HC's crazy imagination of what will happen if he debuts after receiving fis friend inquire if the one debuting was actually HC himself.
*All dialogues are an edited form from MTL version


Heh, HC as one who subconsciously already started to like SQS can't help but to want more, no wonder he has such a big reaction. It's a pity that actually there's no clearer indication on days/time that passed, since once it feels like weeks, other time like days. But SQS's reaction is really withing his character, he was always alone and independent and after all he never was in a relationship, so he doesn't even consider his partner, whatever his partner may be. Tbh I like how this author writes their characters, they do and act within their motivation and how they are.

CHAPTER 46

Ok, it's actually 5am here, I just fnished working and might be short because of that and make typos. But this chapter lets you enjoy some high-quality dog food :3
HC and SQS ride to a hotel (of course change of place to do what they want), on the way HC asked if SQS was BXG's fan, which made SQS very surprised, but he denied. So both wondered why BXG thought like that, but still HC advised since they have good relationship to stay like that. SQS wondered about BXG's family and of course it's a pretty rich family, so BXG's debut and career are rather smooth-sailing. Which made SQS think of his Shen family with "wonderful" parents and green tea bag SQY, who still call him and text him to go back home.
Arriving at the hotel SQS disguised himself, which made HC say that he's not red yet, but SQS argued that he doesn't want to risk it after all he is preparing to be red. Going up into the room they have sweet time hugging and kissing before HC brings SQS to the bathroom to wash and later puts him on the bed enjoying the time, tossing SQS for quite some time. Afterwards SQS hugged HC as usual thinking how he hasn't hugged anyone like that before (in his original life). He always slept alone, being used to it, but maybe because HC is so warm he find sleeping while hugging HC particularly comfortable. He had no idea if others did the same, but he doesn't care, while HC doesn't mind he'll do what he wants, after all in the end he is just a page of the story, HC would not take him to heart and he will leave when it will be time to leave. So it doesn't matter what he does (what he wants to do and does it with HC). Thus sleepy he gave a good night kiss to HC and got the same kisses and good night, sweet dreams in return.
Both had a breakfast in the morning, SQS was like a sleepy woken up cat and grumpy. HC while eating breakfast tried to hint that he might as well stay for a day or two, but the hint went above SQS, he proposed HC to meet friends and such. HC was again thinking that the sweetness of yesterday disappeared and here comes the scum heart. But SQS said after back and forth that actually although he wants him to stay, he did not offer to stay because he feared HC would be too bored to stay, after all the filming takes time and it's boring etc. In the end since the following was a weekend HC won the right to stay and later dropped SQS at the filming set.
First scenes were with Su Luo, who knowing that SQS and BXG had good relatioship and it can also build a bridge for her, but she still felt uncomfortable and decided to sabotage the filming by laughing at SQS when doing a serious scene, even her staff did the same, but SQS turned the tides and said that her business ability is not good and she enters the play slow, she is not intentionally ruining everyone's efforts in filming and delaying everyone's time, resources etc. which shut Su Luo up. It basically put her in a situation where if she admits, she's not serious, if she denies, then she is deliberate.
Jianming who followed what SQS said thought that after noting how SQS spoke these days he might as well offer a variety show where talking snappy like that is needed.
The director who already was dissatisfied with Su Luo playing the big names, even BXG who was more popular had more serious attention to his work sent Su Luo to rest and changed her schedule for the next two days to show that it's not her playground.
When SQS came to the rest area Jianming proposed his idea, SQS at first refused since he can only be like this only when it involves something he believes in, but not something forced on him, they communicated about it and in the end decided to try, Jianming's work then was to find someone from the program he mentioned.
HC who came in later heard about the variety show, Jianming said that with such an ability to talk SQS must be given a platform, while HC thought inside that he wants him to go home! how can he be gone forever?! won't his garage become completely empty? But hearing how long the filming takes he calmed down and agreed.
Jianming's plan was pretty reasonable, before the filming and release will happen SQS can join the show and get some exposure.
On the other hand HC was thinking that he is glad for SQS, but the brightness is too much, what if he leaves and never comes back. So sad! This in the evening HC deliberately mentioned about the show, but SQS explained it's too early for that, first is filming, then New Year and then it will be fine.
This actually made SQS think that New Year is coming, HC will surely visit his home and he himself will be left alone, it's pretty sad to celebrate the New Year alone and have no loved ones by his side.


;_;

this BXG might be the guy that will push HC to realizing what he really felt on SQS. Also again I liked how the brotherhood between Han brothers is portrayed in this novel. Its a breath of fresh air from your usual competitive brotherhood plot. 
 
  • #46
Yeah, I think the debate were interesting. I remember watching a CN drama just recently aired about a debate. Never knew how debate competition works, but atleast i got some gist of it, altho in this drama it was a bit different.

Regarding the first debate, imo the moment my SO asked for his first love on his deathbed, I'd already be heartbroken. My last attempt would probably, to ask him again if he/she really wanted it to happen. If he/she does I'd just gtfo in the next possible moment, and for those who wanted it to happen, I'd immediately sever contact with them just like SQS would do, further protect myself from the heartache.

We never really know what its like when you're in deathbed, how clouded your head would be, I would still find it inexcusable to find someone else on that very moment. It would have meant that after all this time, you've cling on your desire to be with someone else other than your spouse.

Reminds me of this:

CH. 21-22
Honestly, I died :'D
The finish the dinner. YJY gives HC a present but HC non-chalantly gives it to SQS, they turn to the parking lot and suddenly approached by Qingyu and the tea licking dog Xu Qi (the blind date man). Qingyu of course tried to use his kind-hearted fake face but SQS played him around and said that while his parents froze his credit card you must give the brother money, you're so kind-hearted~ you won't let your brother starve to death. SO while grinding teeth SQY had to transfer a sum of money. HC also perked his interest, but SQS said it was not his business who HC was. SQS and HC didn't forget the possessive bf and suffocating with love shou act before leaving. Leaving two behind, at this time XQ and SQY finally find out that they were talking about different people all this time, while XQ meant HC while SQY was talking about SQS's campus bf Li Hui, so SQY decided to use it against SQS and called Li Hui, while he was sure that SQS was riding two boats he simply wanted to use Li Hui as a spear.

On the other hand SQS and HC had a small talk about Yan Jiayu and why he's like that. SQS ia really curious only guessing that YJY did something he sould be sorry for, but HC stayed silent. WHile HC was thinking that YJY actually a two-timing bitch. They met a long time ago and YJY pretty naturally became part of their circle, but he was ambiguoug towards HC hanging him up, yet HC was resisting, once his brother Han Yu found them watching a movie and after YJY left they had a talk and HY shared a fact that YJY actually confessed his feelings not once to him. HC was shocked and embarrassed to be a spare tire in this situation, and as a face-loving person he stayed silent about this. His brother was happy about the outcome actually, he is fond of his brother and doesn't want to fight with him over another person and HC himself was shocked why YJY was two-timing like that, sowing discord between brothers was disgusting to him. He also later when talking the same evening with Han Yu about the dinner, Han Yu sent his brother a chat record. SO basically both brothers know what YJY is aiming for, but stay silent on this behavior. When SQS and HC drove back in the car HC was thinking about those things, while SQS was truly curious but couldn't do anything about it. He also thought he must explain YJY's character to protag later. The present from YJY was tossed aside.

Anyway Li Hui the stupid dog was furiosly provoked to be a third wheel to SQS by Qingyu and pestered SQS for a meeting, to which SQS agreed to meet at 6 in the morning, but warmly fell asleep, the hell if he's going to meet, he wanted to punish the dog Li Hui. LH on the other hand waited for hour and a half to finally realize he was stood up.
On the other hand SQS was sleeping sweetly before HC woke him up to have a breakfast.
While Li Hui enraged by SQS's behavior demanded SQY to give him SQS's address. SO SQY went to Han Group, but HC who asked SQS what to do with his brother and got "Don't bother about him", asked front desk to tell him away, but SQY decided to stay in the waiting lounge.
Surprisingly the same day and hour YJY came to Han Group and got the same answer from HC and was refused to go up to wait. Both stayed in the waiting area and SQY took this opportunity for conversation of a green tea set.
On the other hand HC called SQS to come to his company, SQS refused since he had inspiration and had to finish the chapter, HC didn't wait and started to recite SQS's novel, while always made SQS super emberrassed and he agreed. At first SQS wanted to use HC's car, but HC asked him to get a taxi, memories when he let SQS drive were too traumatizing :'D Anyway SQS agree to come to Han Group guessing that it was related to YJY.

Honestly, this novel is hella funny :'D And the two of them are just a new type of match, one is an ope trash-talking or acting where needed and also Han Cheng who is like - come to my company, I need your skills to drive these people away. It's funny how quicly HC became dependent :'D

CHAPTER 40

HC kept arguing with SQS about his new novel that both Su Qing shouldn't be the one counterattacking, that Su Qing can't attack, though SQS tried to answer back, but he was anihilated under HC verbal attack and in the end agreed that after all he now has danmei and has such an overlord who supports him and will leave him if he insists to write romance, but will continue to support if there will be a second danmei even if characters will be the same (after all SQS naming is just horrendous XD). Thus SQS deleted the first chapter of campus idol novel after some consideration. Readers of his danmei actually already started to ship him and HC's trumpet, since one is a shop owner and other is a car god, so readers already created CP (I bet HC will be happy)))
HC in a good mood left work and met Han Yu in the elevator and asked if he worked overtime and why. But Han Yu said that he felt sleepy and then he basically slept until now, which left HC gap at ths capitalist. HC asked if he's happy like that, but HY countered that he is not as happy as those in love, making HC argue that he is not in love, that person is just a friend. To which HY added that of course he wants to put a friend in a cage. HC: !!!. EVen saying that he didn't understand anything didn't help, because HY said that as a single dog of course he doesn't understand (honestly, HY is the biggest tease ahaha) Seeing that it made HC uncomfortable he asked him to dine together, to which HY asked that with a boyfriend he doesn't want to have a dinner with his brother anymore? HC asked if it's interesting to talk like that? HY answered that it was okay, looking at HC's expression it's interesting, but stopped teasing. HC glared at him thinking that you deserve your bad reputation in the company. But in a moment they agreed to eat together. And HC also told HY about how he met YJY and told him everything he tought about his approaches, to which HY said that he grew up. Which made HC once again question if it's okay to describe as if he's a kid, but HY said that now he was willing to lay down his face to solve it, that's why he grew up. Thus from now on he can totally ignore YJY. Trying for a second time to rub his brother's head this time HC didn't avoid (awe~).
They came to HY's car and HC asked if it's a new one, that it's not bad. HY proposed to buy him the same, but HC switched to talk about the video HY have taken and it's better to give it to him so he can delete it. HY reluctantly took his phone out and after fiddling with it gave it to HC, but instead of video what he saw was a shopping page with cages on sale. HY said that after thinking he can't give him the back-up. But he can choose the cage HC wants. HC what does he want to shut him off in a cage? But HY said it's for HC's little boyfriend, so they can be in a cage together, not flying in the sky but be two chickens in the cage (poor SQS, he became target of many not even knowing about it). This made angrily push the phone back to HY and sit on a co-pilot.
HC's secretary who saw part of it and heard vaguely their dialogue sat in her car and called her friend saying that President Han is simply too much, he called HC a chicken in a cage. Which escalated into President Han promising that HC can only work in c age that he created and never surpass him. SO both felt distressed and angry for HC who has such a bad fate.
The enxt morning filming officially started, SQS came to the set in a good condition, while he was doing his make-up he brushed Weibo seeing comments under teh official post which sang praises to BXG as the male lead for his handsomness that with female lead they create a good pair, and more importantly the second male lead is also an eye candy, it's incredible to have handsome guys, it will be such a feast, but while second lead was getting praises Sun Xuan who plays third male lead was getting angry at the comment that discussed him, many are disappointed that he is not handsome at all, called him a newbie, unknown artist and book fans were also disappointed saying they're ready to climb the wall and betray their like for 3rd male lead. Of course SX was furious and was thinking that soon he will make his gf who plays female lead to cut his parts and add parts to him.
When SQS left the make-up room BXG pushed the phone to agent and picked up script to sit straight and make it look like he's a pro, which only alerted his agent more. AGent already thought that her ancestor fell in love with an older person after meeting twice, he already wants to present himself in best shape, so she had nothing more but to warn him and ask why he acts this way while he himself said that he dislikes hypocritical people, while BXG said he wants to save this good image in the heart of the person, not to break his deram. Agent - How do you know about his dream? BXG - Well, I'm so smart, why don't I know (lol he totally misunderstood, both of them  ). BXG tried to say that it's not what she thinks, but not to make SQS lose face as his fan he still kept shut about the fact why he thinks like that. Agent just promised to beat the manadire ducks if he dares.
Jianming asked if SQS was nervous, but SQS who had an acting career could only assure that everything is fine.
When SQS met the female lead and director, director asked if he could brew emotions and if anything they would take several shots, while Su Luo wanted to be sarcastic saying that she doesn't know if he can after all it's his first time filming. When SQS asked if they could read the lines she was distracted by Sun Xuan and left (what a good female lead).
Sun Xuan of course wanted her to embarrass SQS while filming to which Su Luo agreed to. But when it came to filming and director called action SQS instantly transformed with feeling required by director that made several people lost: first was director, who looked at the agent and asked himself inside if that what is called a newbie nowadays, second was SQS's agent himself thinking that this boy has a lot of potential and third was Su Luo herself who stumbled while acting and couldn't bring out emotions so it wasn't SQS who got NG but her, but during next filming she collected her feelings and gave what was needed, while SQS wasn't shamed in the end.
On the side BXG's agent complimented SQS for great acting, while BXG straightened thinking that it should be so, he's a fan of his, and he's also good at acting which made BXG look proud. This made BXG's agent feel the danger for SQS.
SQS on the side decided to answer that he played with friends before that's why he is more profound on acting when he was asked if it's really his first time filming. Both by Su Luo who didn't like his answer that his acting is okay and Jianming, who complimented SQS for his acting and started to look at SQS differently.
SQS approached BXG and asked for reading lines with him after all they have a scene soon, BXG even wanted to make his agent move to make place, but agent asked the assistant to get chair and even when assistant was asked get drinks SQS didn't want to bother with choice and asked for the same as BXG which made BXG misunderstand even further that SQS of course drinks the same as his idol (god he's more of a peacock than SQS, I thought no one will beat SQS in this department) and both read the lines twice understanding that both already memorized all lines and the script was more like a prop. BXG also tentively asked if he read interviews with him to which SQS casually said that yes (after all after crossing he did spend time on forums), but BXG even went on to test SQS and asked few questions about himself which SQS answered correctly but without any second thought. But BXG interpreted him as iron powder. But seeing how things develop the agent decided to interfere and talked about business, SQS tactfully retreated. Of course what the agent wanted him to see are old news, she just wanted to distance SQS from harm.


Honestly this BXG, his fantasy world is something...  It's good if it will be actually good for SQS's development, since BXG might want to protect SQS from harm, but I can guess how HC will react if he ever finds out.

CHAPTER 47

(I think I'm overfed with the dog food, they act so sweet, but both still consider each other just riders.)
SQS was thinking how he would spend his New Year if he is alone, probably will go online, and also he still need to finish his novel that he thought he'll be done with soon. Interestingly his readers pretty much like thos and are not against seeing them in new novel as well.
HC actually asked if he's finished and also what he's going to write next and was surprised that SQS was hesitating with picking up the Cheng Han and Su Qing again, while he smashed 20 rockets on just supporting the idea.
They were interrupted by Jianming who brough new schedule notice and SQS found no Su Luo on the list as it happened Director was the one who put her down to rest and give her a lesson and now he has more plays, not to mention that soon there will be a short promo posted to keep up the heat. After doing his job Jianming retreated leaving the two alone.
SQS sat down to look at the notice while HC joined and asked if he memorized all the lines to which SQS proudly said that yes, he remembers it all, so HC suggested that while he doesn't need to memorize lines, they can do something else. SQS was shocked saying that just yesterday he promised to write it down and ask for it next time, but HC suggested they can do manual once.
(Sudden skip to Su Luo at this moment ughhh)
Su Luo got the notice and saw she had no play and agent explained it's all because of her behavior that all actors combine don't bring so much trouble as her, she as arrogant as she is told her agent to give the director a word that if he doesn't give her filming days she will stay for more time doing nothing and not shooting, let's see who will cry first (isn't she just breaching the contract, it's way faster to find someone else than this princess)
(Back to SQS and HC)
For them things didn't end with simple single manual and by the end HC hugged SQS to sleep who held and didn't let go of his hand. Waking up SQS woke up to the alarm ring and wanted to get up to wash but was held back by HC who with muffled voice asked if SQS is going, SQS told him he had filming in the morning, HC agreed, kissed SQS's face and let go. Since Su Luo won't appear these days SQS felt particularly glad, after all if she's angry it can only make him happy, with great mood he went to filming.
HC spent two days in the crew and it was time to send him off. SQS at first went with a quick hug and kiss saying he will wait for his next time coming. HC agreed, but in the midst of winter sun that made SQS look quite dazzling he slowly sat in the car, but just before SQS was going to leave HC asked him back aming him sit in the co-pilot and without saying a word leaned over and held him to give a long kiss, SQS followed. Looking at SQS with a bit red face and misty eyes HC tried to control and seem calm saying that now SQS can go, but within a minute SQS still was sitting so looking at him he saw SQS opening his arms and asking to hug him again. SQS thought it wasn't him who started it, now he can't help but want for some intimacy. HC felt his ears hot, but complied and SQS after acting a bit like a spoiled child finally said he was going and waved goodbye.
At night after filming SQS saw BXG who looked like waiting for himself. BXG in turn asked about his relationship with HC, for how long they've known each other and also if he likes someone to which SQS said 'no' and BXG silently shed tears for HC, but since the coast was clear there was hope and also asked what type does he like and how SQS will react if the other person lied about his status and money etc. which to him at least didn't scratch HC out from the list. But when BXG's questioning was over SQS asked back if BXG thought he was his fan, BXG was shocked to hear he misunderstood SQS who again said that he was getting ready for filming and didn't want to dislike him and feel uncomfortable. BXG turned sad, thinking of the hypocritical adults and their world of lies (very dramatically). But seeing this SQS added that he actually liked BXG as a friend now and if he doesn't mind they could be friends, but although there was no worsening how BXG could feel better, when he remembered how he acted these days etc. But in the end sadly agreed.
QYY seeing BXG being in such state asked him what was wrong, but BXG said he was beaten by society and refused to give details.
At night HC saw friend request from BXG and saw him sending the crying picture, asking what he meant BXG said he's been cut by a person, the one HC loves, BXG asked him today and SQS said he doesn't like anyone so they can cry together. HC realized that BXG thought since SQS doesn't like anyone, it means HC included, but HC didn't share that they both were riders and that was their true relationship. Yet he didn't want to expose his own lies that's why he joined the crying duo each discussing what they did and how SQS didn't care about it. Like BXG is sad and HC been depressed several time.
On the other hand SQS who had no idea he was a hot topic was taking a hot bath, preparing to go to bed.
