Chapter 245 - It’s All For You
Chapter 245: It’s All For You
Song Chuyi also had a few glasses with them. Although it was red wine, his face was quickly flushed red. However, he still forced himself to get his spirits up and chat with them about everything under the sun.
Changqing was sitting at the side, quietly battling the food and occasionally glancing at the men. Yan Lei was beaming with radiance and a weird feeling also started to surface within her heart.
It had been a long time since there was such a nice atmosphere at home with Song Chuyi around.
The dinner lasted until 9 pm. Changqing helped Auntie Zhang clear the table. Lin Yiqin also stayed behind at the Yan Household to rest for fear of driving after drinking.
Changqing went back to her room and Song Chuyi stumbled out from the bathroom. His face was flushed red and he had to support himself on the chair several times before successfully making it to the bed.
He took off his shirt and pants and climbed into bed quietly, falling asleep very quickly.
Changqing stood by the bed and watched him for a while. The sleeping Song Chuchu really looked like a painting of a beauty. Just look at this man’s fair skin; long, curled lashes; and thin, red lips.
Actually, she knew Song Chuyi didn’t like drinking. He suggested drinking today just so that he could mediate the tense atmosphere and curry Yan Lei’s favor.
Just as he said, he curried the favor of her family members all because of her.
He likes me?
Then is Song Yunyang still in his heart?
There’s also Song Chulang, who haunts me like a spirit.
The next day, when Song Chuyi woke up to prepare to go for his morning shift, Changqing wasn’t awake yet.
He didn’t wake her up. After changing, he went downstairs and ran into Yan Lei, who came back from his morning Tai chi. “Where’s brother-in-law?”
“Not up yet, I guess. Youngsters these days like to sleep in.” Yan Lei seemed quite energetic. “Have you made up with Changqing?”
“… Not yet,” Song Chuyi said truthfully.
Yan Lei looked at him and said earnestly, “Your performance yesterday wasn’t bad. However, it wasn’t because you curried my favor but rather because you troubled yourself to do all that for my daughter. However, I have to remind you at the same time that you did all that not because you wanted to salvage this marriage but because of my daughter. To be brutally honest, a person can have a few marriages in his life, but there is only one person that remains the same.”
Song Chuyi was taken aback and nodded.
“Right, is your brother alright now?” Yan Lei asked.
“Much better. There should be no problems.” Song Chuyi said, “My dad and Dai Ai are planning to go to the States in these next few days to visit him and they plan to stay there for a while.”
“It’s good that there’s no problem.” Yan Lei didn’t speak further and went upstairs to change.
When Changqing woke up at eight, she was the only one at home. She rushed to the station for a morning meeting and even had to pack her breakfast to eat in the car.
When she was about to reach the station, Song Chuyi gave her a call. “When are you getting off today? Let’s have dinner together.”
Is he asking me out on a date?
Changqing blinked. “I have to record a program today.”
“Then I’ll go over to watch your program,” Song Chuyi said straightaway. “Arrange a seat for me.”
“Why are you coming?” Changqing hung up impolitely. Really, he made her so nervous the previous time he came.
Song Chuyi put his fork down on the table with a horrible expression.
This woman had climbed all over him. That was too much.
He called her with the kind intention of asking her out on a date, but she actually hung up on him before he finished.
She totally disrespected him.
Since she didn’t want him to go, he would go all the more.
He called Boss Feng. “Please get me a good spot to watch Challenge to the End.”
Boss Feng’s head hurt. Song Chuyi was asking him for a seat at the last minute again. The tickets were all sold out. “Sure, sure, I have a relative who wanted to come and watch the program tonight. I’ll tell her not to go and to give her seat to you. It was in the center of the first row.”
“That would be best.” Song Chuyi was quite satisfied.
“Dr. Song, since you like Changqing’s program so much, do you want me to get the production team to reserve you a seat every week so you will have a guaranteed seat you want to come at the last minute?” Boss Feng asked as he tried to sound Song Chuyi out.
“That won’t be necessary. I’ll inform you if I want to go in the future earlier so you won’t be put on the spot,” Song Chuyi said.
“Sure, sure, sure.” Boss Feng was waiting for that line of his and he heaved a sigh of relief. “Then please make your way over here earlier.”
Today’s program recording started at 7 pm. Song Chuyi was busy with work until 5:40 pm before he got off. The broadcasting station was a little far from the hospital and he was even stuck in the traffic on the way there, so it was very late when he arrived.
There were many fans standing at the broadcasting station door and there were some selling lightsticks, posters and artistes’ fan signs.
Song Chuyi thought for a while and found a place to park his car. He walked over with large strides and one vendor immediately asked him when he saw him, “Handsome lad, are you buying Deng Peiyi’s or Yan Changqing’s merch? Yan Changqing’s fans have recently increased and many people bought hers today.”
“Yan Changqing’s fans increased?” Song Chuyi raised his brows. “Why?”
“Don’t you think it’s because of the fight at the clubhouse involving Ruan Yang, Jiang Duoyao and the rest? Although fighting isn’t really a good thing, she did it for her friends. Everyone thinks she’s loyal and real, sacrificing her life for her friends. Even I have to take my hat off to her.” The vendor raised his thumb. “Now, the netizens are saying it’s hard to find female celebrities like that. Many people went from being strangers to fans. On top of that, Ruan Yang and Jiang Duoyao have a huge fanbase. Now, all those fans are saying that Yan Changqing will become their idol in the future and they will watch her program every week. She’s extremely hot right now.”
“Really?” The corners of Song Chuyi’s mouth curled up into a light smile unconsciously.
“If you want to get some Yan Changqing merch, I’ll sell it to you at a cheaper price,” the vendor said quickly. “I’m also her fan.”
“… Alright, give me two lightsticks and a fan sign.” Song Chuyi took out his money.
“Just these two? That’s too little.” The vendor said, “Everyone buys the whole set. Bro, as a fan, this is a fail. Why don’t you buy a horn light headband? I guarantee Yan Changqing would see you at once.”
“Enough, enough.” Song Chuyi took the merchandise and left quickly. It would be crazy to make him wear a horn light headband.
Mei Zong sent an assistant to bring him onto the set personally. He went in a little late and the seats were almost filled. His seat was perfectly surrounded by many of Yan Changqing’s young fans. The few young ladies behind him all looked like students and they were holding Changqing’s posters or banners. When he took his seat, the pretty lady behind him even pushed him unhappily. “Don’t lean on Yan Changqing’s fan sign; it took us very long to make it at home.”
Song Chuyi took a look at the banner behind: It was a confession saying “Company is the longest lasting love (1. Long-lasting love is also pronounced Changqing)”.
He was speechless. The little girls these days were really…
“You’re sitting in the first row—why are you holding so little? Really, you’re too unprofessional as a fan.” A 17 to 18-year-old, slightly plump little girl put a horn light headband on him straight away.
His face changed and he quickly took it off. The little girl stopped him immediately and even said with a solemn look, “Let me tell you—just because you’re good-looking doesn’t mean you can be willful. For Changqing, we have to be united as one. Do you understand? Right, what’s your name in the Fanclub?”
“What Fanclub?” The corners of his mouth twitched.
“You don’t know? You don’t even know this?” the little girl said. “We’re Yan Changqing’s fans. I’m the head of Qing FC. Tonight, we’re mainly here to show Changqing moral support. She hasn’t been recording for the past two weeks and she’s finally come back. We’re going to cheer her on.”
Song Chuyi was in a daze. It was his first time hearing about something like a fan club.
Head of Qing FC? What?
“He might be a new fan of our Qingqing.” A young lady on the right with freckles said, “Qingqing’s fanbase has rapidly grown recently. We have to regulate our management in order to not throw Qingqing’s face and defame her.”
“Mm, right.” The head of Qing FC nodded. “Right, Fang Qingqian will be coming tonight as well. I wonder what kind of sparks will fly between them.”
“Yeah, last time, when they were on the same program, I felt as though the two of them were quite attracted to each other,” the adjacent fan agreed immediately.
“It’d be great if the two of them could get together.”
“That’s right, that’s right. They look so good together. I think Qingqing has some feelings for Fang Qingqian. In an earlier program, Qingqing smiled so sweetly when she was looking at him.”
“Mm, mm. If there’s nothing with Fang Qingqian, Ke Yongyuan isn’t bad either. When they shot the drama together before, some pictures were released for the drama photoshoot and they looked so good together.”
Song Chuyi’s frown tightened as he listened on and he couldn’t help but say, “Perhaps Yan Changqing already has a boyfriend outside of the industry.”
“How can the men outside the industry be good enough for our Qingqing? She might as well be both the top and bottom.” The head of the Fanclub stared at him.
Song Chuyi couldn’t keep listening.
Be both the top and bottom?
What is in the heads of all the young ladies these days?
He lowered his head and took out his phone secretly to look up Fang Qingqian’s face. Another feminine man. How ugly. Totally not at his level.
He put his phone on silent and the program started with an opening dance. After that, Changqing and Zuo Qian went up on stage as they danced.
Changqing was wearing a pair of red high stilettos and the choreography she had to perform was powerful. When she came out, she immediately saw Song Chuchu with the horn light headband sitting in the audience and she almost fell as she stumbled.
Zuo Qian reacted quickly and dashed over to help her with a dance move, concealing her mistake perfectly.
Changqing forced herself to focus but couldn’t help glancing down constantly.
She really couldn’t stand Song Chuchu like that.
He was wearing an army green shirt and looked pretty stylish. However, he had a lightstick in his left hand and a sign with her name in his right hand. On top of that, a horn light headband…
It was really, really too cute.
Especially since he didn’t look very happy. He pulled a long face and looked like a cow that was full of grievances.
She could tell Song Chuchu really went all out tonight.
Zuo Qian also recognized him very quickly and a hint of shock flashed past his eyes. When he saw the woman beside him trying to hold her laughter back, he reminded her helplessly, “Concentrate on the program.”
“Mm, mm,” Changqing answered him softly.
After they were done with the opening dance, they invited the guests, Deng Peiyi and Fang Qingqian up on stage one by one.
Zuo Qian looked at Fang Qingqian with a grin and said, “This one here must be our Changqing’s old acquaintance.”
Changqing quickly went up to Fang Qingqian and gave him a hug with a very bright smile. “Long time no see.”
