Chapter 38: I don’t want to renew the contract, Mr. Lu.
The shooting of the show went quite smooth. With Mr. Lu, a gossip boyfriend watching over all the way, both the program crew and the guests treated Fang well.
A girl-scriptwriter moved closer to Fang quietly, and said admiringly, “Your boyfriend kept watching you just now with his eyes full of love.”
Fang’s heart throbbed, “You might have mistaken something.”
Thinking Fang might be afraid to be exposed, the girl said knowingly, “Take it easy. I won’t tell.”
It was already dark when they finished their work and were about to leave. Lu didn’t leave yet, and he was standing outside waiting for Fang.
“Your contract will expire soon. Remember to renew it when you’re free.”
Fang nodded obediently.
“Tell me when you come, and I’ll have a big surprise for you.”
Fang’s eyes shone, “What surprise?”
“If I tell you now, how can it still be a surprise?”
At the moment, the car horn sounded behind them, and they turned around at the same time, only to see that Liang Chi was honking the horn in the passenger seat impatiently to urge Lu to get into the car.
Fang’s eyes became gloomy gradually.
Having seen through Fang’s thought, Lu said with a smile, “Take it easy! I have nothing to do with him.”
He kissed Fang on his forehead swiftly, trotted towards the car, and drove Liang Chi away.
Standing in situ, Fang touched the place which had been kissed by Lu, and felt confused without knowing how much credibility Lu’s words had.
Fang didn’t go to the company in the following few days as promised. Lu had urged him once on WeChat, but he just prevaricated to say he felt ill. Lu sent his assistant to bring Fang a box of cold cure immediately that afternoon.
Fang put the medicine beside his pillow, which kept reminding him of Lu. He felt bitter and jealous at the thought of Lu.
He was a kept lover, but apart from this, he was just an ordinary man who had fallen in love. He would feel jealous if someone else was together with the guy he loved, and besides he would feel annoyed if the guy he loved was flirting with someone else.
But he was just a kept lover after all, and a good kept lover shouldn’t think this way.
Fang sighed, feeling his hair had lost a lot recently because he kept thinking about these annoying stuff. He didn’t know when he would return to normal, and he might become bald if he continued to be like this.
These thoughts kept haunting Fang at every moment. One day, Fang was absent-minded while making a cake, and he even mistakenly smeared two layers of cream on one cake.
Lin Yao frowned, “Will you charge the same money for it?”
Fang came to his senses, and retorted, “It is a special product only for spring. I’ll double the price later.”
Serious Capitalistic style.
“Don’t you have to renew your contract? Why are you idling here every day?” Lin Yao asked.
Fang merely replied, “H’m” in a low voice without answering his question.
Lin went straight to the point, “What happened between you and Lu?”
Fang didn’t expect Lin could be so sharp, but he didn’t want to conceal it from Lin either. So having been annoyed for a moment, he confessed honestly, “I did something bad to Lu.”
Han Jiayue, coming out from nowhere, shouted, “Did you f**k him?!”
Fang got irritated, “Why are you here every day? Don’t you have any drama to play a role in?”
Han just ignored Fang’s words, and asked excitedly, “Share it with us! What did you do to Lu?”
Lin Yao intended to push Han out with a cold face, “Don’t you have to catch your flight? Why are you still here?”
Han refused, “Just once more kiss.”
Lin lowered his head immediately, and kissed Han on the lips.
Fang…
Having sent Han away, Lin asked Fang seriously, “Do you love him?”
Fang nodded shyly.
“Then how about him? Does he love you?”
Recalling the memories with Lu recently, Fang smiled shyly, “I feel… a little.”
Lin kept silent for a moment before saying, “Then just tell him.”
Fang, “Uh?”
Lin Yao lowered his eyes, and the shade shed by his eyelashes covered the emotion in his eyes, “Just be brave and stop dithering. Don’t miss the opportunity.”
“But I don’t even know his thought.”
“How can you know his thought without telling him yours?”
Fang was still a little bit hesitant, “Then…what if he just refuses me?”
“Then fuck him.”
Fang suddenly became clear-minded.
The next day, Fang went to the company. Just as Lin Yao had said, although there were too many uncertainties, he still decided to have a try. Be brave for once, and just for love.
Lu was not present when Fang signed the contract, and his agent told him that Lu was attending a meeting in the office.
“I’ll wait for him.”
Fang still remembered Lu had promised him a surprise, and besides, he also wanted to say something to Lu.
Fang sat quietly at the door of Lu’s office waiting for him with a trace of anxiety and expectation.
Soon the door was open, and Fang got up in excitement, but the guy who had opened the door was not Lu.
Liang Chi walked out with joy, and brushed past Fang. Lu just followed him, and Lu even didn’t put away his smile when he saw Fang.
His neckband was still open with two more red marks on the neck.
Fang just fell into a trance, and forgot why he was there. Suddenly all decisions became so ridiculous.
Just a moment ago, he was still innocent to believe Lu could fall in love with him, and even a little bit would be OK. However, the reality tends to slap you in the face when are at your best. Now it was very clear what he meant to Lu.
Noticing there were tears in Fang’s eyes, Lu suddenly got flustered, “What’s wrong with you?”
Fang looked up at Lu, and said firmly, “Sorry, but I don’t want to renew my contract, Mr. Lu.”
