Chapter 37
I just came out of the bathroom.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
That morning, Chi Yuan woke up early. Jiang Haochen was still asleep. Afraid of waking him, Chi Yuan gently lifted the other's hand from his waist.
After sleeping together so many times, Chi Yuan noticed a habit: Mr. Jiang liked to hug him when he slept.
I don't know what Mr. Jiang hugs when no one is in bed, and I haven't seen any pillows or anything like that in the room.
After finally managing to move Jiang Haochen's arm away, Chi Yuan twisted his body and slowly moved outwards. But as soon as he moved, a tingling sensation suddenly came from an unknown part of his body.
These past three days seem... a bit overused.
Chi Yuan's face flushed red. He bit his lip and continued to move out of bed. Just as he was about to get off, a muscular arm reached out and wrapped around his waist, pulling him back down.
As he crashed into that familiar chest, Chi Yuan let out a soft cry.
"You're trying to seduce me first thing in the morning." Jiang Haochen rubbed his chin against Chi Yuan's forehead. The stubble was prickly, and the slight stinging made Chi Yuan even more afraid to move.
"No, no, I... I just wanted to get up," Chi Yuan explained.
"What time is it? Why are you up?"
Chi Yuan: "Three days are up, I need to go to work."
Three days? Jiang Haochen remembered that he had only asked Chi Yuan for three days off.
"Three days have passed so quickly. I should have invited a few more days," Jiang Haochen said with some regret.
Chi Yuan didn't dare to respond. Of course, he wanted to spend more time with Jiang Haochen, but he was also an artist under Tianyu Entertainment. He wanted to help Mr. Jiang earn back the money that Mr. Jiang had spent on him.
Chi Yuan didn't know if he could become famous. If he did, he would have to repay the company double for all the resources he had received. If he couldn't become famous, then at least he would have to be an obedient artist.
"I want to get up," Chi Yuan pleaded softly, his voice as gentle as a pleading kitten.
"The more you do this, the harder it is for me to let go." Jiang Haochen's heart itched with desire. "Do you really have to go?"
Chi Yuan was reluctant to leave. He closed his eyes tightly and made a huge decision before speaking: "I'm going. I promised Sister Weiran."
After chatting for a while, Jiang Haochen was almost awake: "Is there a notice?"
Chi Yuan: "No, I should be taking classes at the company today."
Jiang Haochen: "He sacrificed me for attending class; what a good student."
Chi Yuan: "I...I can come back tonight."
I don't have any engagements or filming commitments lately. If Mr. Jiang asks me to come back in the evening, then...
Jiang Haochen released Chi Yuan: "No need, you can go."
Jiang Haochen released him as he wished, but Chi Yuan felt a sense of loss.
He tried hard not to let the feeling of loss grow, quickly got up, and didn't dare to look back at the person on the bed.
But the person on the bed stared at him without restraint. Although he stripped the boy naked every night, he had never looked at the boy's body like this before.
He has broad shoulders, long legs, and a slim waist, especially his waist, which he bends to the extreme every night.
The boy was incredibly flexible; no matter how much force he used, he wouldn't cry out in pain. When he couldn't take it anymore, his eyes would well up with tears, and he'd look like he was about to cry. But the more the boy acted this way, the more wicked he became.
It seems like I've been bullying him all along?
Jiang Haochen was suddenly a little surprised. He wasn't a bad person in bed. On the contrary, he was always gentle, but it seemed that he was different every time he was with Chi Yuan.
The boy dressed quickly; in the blink of an eye, his beautiful figure was covered in clothing.
"Mr. Jiang, I...I'm leaving."
"Go on, I'll sleep a little longer." Jiang Haochen lay back down with his eyes closed, and only dared to open them after the boy left. He was afraid that he would lose control and strip the boy naked again.
"Beast."
Jiang Haochen cursed himself, but ultimately couldn't resist and went to the bathroom.
Chi Yuan bought a pancake at the subway entrance for breakfast, and then, like all office workers, squeezed onto the subway and entered the company before nine o'clock.
Li Weiran is a very self-disciplined person. As long as she is not discussing business, she basically goes to work according to the company's working hours.
At exactly 9:05, Chi Yuan knocked on Li Weiran's office door with a cup of coffee.
"Sister Weiran."
Li Weiran took the coffee and looked Chi Yuan up and down. Seeing that the young man had a rosy complexion and bright eyes, he didn't seem to have indulged in excessive sexual activity, which made her feel slightly satisfied.
While she doesn't discriminate against sugar daddies, she finds it annoying when they become arrogant and spoiled. She thinks that because she has a sugar daddy who dotes on her, she shouldn't work hard, not realizing that a sugar daddy's affection is temporary, while a career is what truly matters.
"How was your three-day holiday? Do you need to rest more?" Li Weiran asked casually.
Chi Yuan shook his head: "No need."
Li Weiran: "How did you feel about filming this time?"
Chi Yuan: "It went very well, the whole process went smoothly."
Li Weiran: "I've also asked the production team, and the director has a very high opinion of you."
Chi Yuan said happily, "I will continue to work hard."
Li Weiran thought of something, reached into the cabinet, took something out, and handed it to Chi Yuan.
Chi Yuan: "What is this?"
Li Weiran: "The watch isn't great, but it's worth over ten thousand yuan. It was a gift from Lin Yue's agent as an apology."
Chi Yuan asked, puzzled, "Lin Yue's agent?"
Li Weiran: "Didn't he make things difficult for you on set? President Jiang gave him a warning, and he came to apologize to me the next day. Originally, I wanted Lin Yue to apologize to you personally, but I thought that you might work together in the industry again in the future. In addition, Lin Yue is the male lead in this drama, and you are the third male lead. If it got out that the male lead apologized to the third male lead, the media would easily stir up trouble, so I didn't agree."
After saying that, Li Weiran glanced at Chi Yuan and added, "Of course, this is just my suggestion. If you insist, I can contact the other party again."
Chi Yuan quickly replied, "No need."
Li Weiran was relieved: "That's for the best. I can't say much about your relationship with President Jiang, but I'm your agent, so I'll definitely mention anything that affects your future development."
Chi Yuan nodded repeatedly: "I know. Actually, Lin Yue didn't bother me anymore after that, so I didn't take it to heart."
Li Weiran: "It's best if you don't take it to heart, but you still have to accept the apology. That's how this industry is; if you're magnanimous, people will only think you're weak. You don't have much money right now, but this watch can at least give you some face. If you really don't like it, sell it and buy yourself some clothes."
Chi Yuan noticed that Li Weiran was staring at his clothes.
Chi Yuan thought his clothes were dirty and couldn't help but look down to check them.
"When the TV series airs, you should pay attention to your attire when you go out."
Jiang Haochen always dresses impeccably, yet he never thinks of buying his little lover a decent outfit.
Chi Yuan nodded: "Okay, I'll buy the clothes."
He then asked Huang Kai to help him sell the watch.
Li Weiran: "Go to class in the morning, and go to the sixth floor to get your hair and makeup done in the afternoon. Tomorrow you will participate in the roadshow for 'Baihua Mountain,' which is your first drama with a name. Make sure you show your face."
"Baihua Mountain?" Chi Yuan's pupils contracted. "I...they want me to do a roadshow?"
Li Weiran: "I know you have a conflict with the producer of this drama, but I asked the director and your scenes are still quite good. Since it's been filmed, it should be broadcast effectively. I personally met with them to talk, and out of respect for Tianyu and President Jiang, they agreed to let you go on the roadshow, and your scenes will be retained and not badly cut."
Chi Yuan: "Why? A person like him doesn't need to owe others favors."
Li Weiran was somewhat surprised. Since she had known Chi Yuan, the boy had always been good-tempered, and this was the first time he had ever lost his temper.
Li Weiran: "It's not about owing a favor. Whether a drama is good or not depends not only on the main characters, but also on the supporting characters. If you are cut, the drama won't be good either. He wouldn't want to do something that hurts both sides. I'm giving him a way out, and this can be a win-win situation. You can just go through the motions when you participate in the promotional tour."
Chi Yuan really didn't want to see Wang Ming again, but Li Weiran was right. It was a show he had worked so hard to make, the result of the hard work of hundreds of people in the entire crew, and he couldn't ignore it.
As Chi Yuan left the office, he stared at the watch box in his hand, feeling a surge of joy as he thought about how Mr. Jiang had secretly stood up for him without his knowledge.
Chi Yuan: {Mr. Jiang, thank you?}
Jiang Haochen: {You really should thank me; I just came out of the bathroom.}
Chi Yuan was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood that he had hit his head.
