Huayu 1999: Starting with nothing but getting something for nothing

If we're talking about who didn't listen the most, it's Ye Chongming. He wasn't showing any admiration at all; he was just deliberately stirring up the conversation so that Yang Che could show off in front of Cheng Hong.

At that moment, Ye Chongming looked at Cheng Hong, who was resting his chin on his hand and looking at Yang Che, and he had an instant mental orgasm.

Even if I can't have her, I must make sure she ends up in the hands of "someone I approve of"!

This is about manipulating other people's emotions to gain the illusion that "I still have the initiative."

It's a pathological desire for control! It's compensatory ego!

Okay, Ye Chongming has liked Cheng Hong for many, many years, and this collaboration was his strong advocacy. However, after Cheng Hong joined the crew, although he frequently appeared in front of her, he rarely took the initiative to talk to her...

After finishing the song, Yang Che sat down, bowed slightly, and made a circle with his right hand, performing a ballet-style curtain call. He even gave Ye Chongming a special look.

The crowd, who were clapping, inexplicably found it amusing.

Cheng Hong covered her mouth and laughed.

Yang Che said, "If I hadn't come, everyone would have been resting long ago. Don't scold me when we get back to the hotel."

Everyone smiled, knowing that it was time to stop, and Qin Lan, with great tact, went to pay the bill.

Apart from Fan Xiaotian, no one else present was qualified to claim the bill, and Fan Xiaotian, being a scholar, did not engage in the much-anticipated act of grabbing the bill.

This late-night snack cost 135 yuan, which isn't cheap.

.........

When they returned to the hotel, Yang Che and Fan Xiaotian sat together, neither of them saying much, and the carriage was very quiet.

Yang Che kept looking out the window, finding it all very novel, since he had been either in Longcheng or the capital since his rebirth.

Gaochun County is very simple and has not yet been urbanized. The main road is a cement road with many plane trees on the side, leading to the four-story Gaochun Hotel, whose exterior walls are covered with beige tiles. This has become a local landmark building.

Those who came out for a late-night snack naturally stayed at the Gaochun Hotel, meaning some people stayed elsewhere. It wasn't intentional discrimination; the Gaochun Hotel couldn't accommodate too many people. It's a government-run hotel, and giving the film crew a whole floor was already quite generous.

After all, Gaochun is just a county town, even though it is under the jurisdiction of Nanjing.

All the crew members were on the second floor, which made it easier to move their luggage.

Kou Zhanwen helped carry Qin Lan's luggage, and Xu Zheng helped Zhang Qin. Yang Che didn't help, but he also carried his own bag.

Yang Che's room was on the east side of the corridor, between Jin Qiaoqiao and Qin Lan. As for Cheng Hong, she lived on the west side of the corridor, next to Fan Xiaotian and the makeup artist.

Jin Qiaoqiao, the Peacock Princess and future boss of Bernard, is currently in a passionate relationship with Wu Qihua, who is nine years her senior. This is common knowledge within the production team. Not only does Jin Qiaoqiao spend all day on the phone, but Wu Qihua has also visited the set and given her diamond rings, showing his wealth and generosity.

Ng Kai-wah is the actor who played Zhang Wuji in the Hong Kong drama. He pursued Jin Qiaoqiao in early 1999. This man was a true playboy; before Jin Qiaoqiao, he had been married once and had 17 girlfriends with known names...

And Jin Qiaoqiao? She has said several times that Wu Qihua was her first love.

Yang Che took the suitcase from Kou Zhanwen and helped Qin Lan carry it into the house. Before going in, he looked at Zhang Qin, who was in the next room.

Zhang Qin, who had just received the suitcase from Xu Zheng, was also looking at Yang Che. The two exchanged a glance, then quickly looked away and went their separate ways.

Standing by the table, Qin Lan stared at Yang Che as he put down his suitcase, and she really wanted to rush over and kiss him. He was so charming when he sang, and her heart was filled with a tingling sensation.

Yang Che snapped his fingers at her: "What are you daydreaming about? Get some rest. You saw how fast they're filming. We have costume fittings tomorrow, so you'd better be serious."

"Oh, I know. Che-ge, you have two bite marks on your arm from the blanket, let me scratch them for you."

"No way, I've been resisting the urge to scratch, and it doesn't itch anymore. Okay, let's go, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

"Oh. I'll take you."

Yang Che returned to his room. Damn, Qin Lan's gaze was getting more and more blatant. If it weren't for the differences between them in various aspects, this straightforward girl would probably have confessed her feelings long ago.

I shook my head, turned on the air conditioner in the room, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Yes, this hotel has air conditioning.

Yang Che's shower took about two minutes, including one minute of brushing his teeth and half a minute of cleaning the toothbrush.

Then I changed into clean clothes, glanced at my phone, and saw it was already 11:05.

He opened the door and had barely stepped out when he saw Tao Hong enter Xu Zheng's room... Yang Che wasn't sure if Tao Hong had seen him, but even if she had, it didn't matter, since he had just left. Well, even if she saw him enter someone else's room, it didn't matter...

I closed the door, turned right, and walked silently on the thick carpet in my slippers.

Upon reaching room 205, Yang Che knocked on the door and then stood where he could see through the peephole.

Nearly a minute later, the door opened just wide enough for one person to pass through, revealing Zhang Qin's elegant oval face. However, to Yang Che's surprise, her face was very tense, and her eyes revealed nervousness.

This was not what she had expected, but as long as the door was open, Yang Che stepped forward with a crooked mouth like a dragon king. As expected, Zhang Qin subconsciously stepped back. Then he "squeezed" into the room and pressed her against the wall in the entryway. Her back was right against the light switch, and she turned off the light with a muffled groan.

"No...uh."

Yang Che felt as if his brain had stopped working, and only one thing was on his mind.

You really can't go hungry for too long, or something bad might happen.

In the darkness, Yang Che thought Zhang Qin, who was so close to him, was extremely beautiful.

She is indeed quite beautiful, especially her figure, which is almost explosive. The fact that the two are about the same height is actually quite interesting.

After a long while, Zhang Qin pushed him away, panting softly, "Too fast, Yang Che, too fast."

"When feelings arise, there's no such thing as fast or slow. Trying to control speed is too vulgar; I don't like it. Qinqin, you smell so good."

"I...I didn't shower."

"No wonder it smells so good."

Yang Che's patience had run out, and he dragged her down onto the bed in a few quick steps.

"Qinqin, you are so beautiful."

Zhang Qin's eyes were glazed over. She gently pushed him, about to say something, but her mouth was covered again, and then she became completely dazed.

It's true that she wanted to use Yang Che to get rid of that person, but her feelings for Yang Che were also genuine. As for Kou Zhanwen, he was just a backup plan.

Although it was as usual, Zhang Qin really didn't expect him to come over today, in such a hurry.

Suddenly, she realized something, her eyes widened, and a hint of clarity returned: "Qin Lan isn't your girlfriend?"

Yang Che paused, then let out a long breath: "Hoo... no, hiss!"

"Huh? Wait a minute, wait a minute, ah~"

"No, it's not."

"I didn't ask that~ um~ ah~"

Zhang Qin ultimately failed to find out whether he had a girlfriend or not, because she had completely figured it out and was too lazy to think about it anymore.
