Chapter 4
: Should I try to seduce him?
1500 a month? What kind of life is this? Even extras make 300 a day.
Seeing that the boy had eaten a plate of snacks in a short while without saying a word, Jiang Haochen knew that he was really hungry, so he looked down and ordered a main dish on his phone.
There weren't many customers late at night, so the kitchen quickly delivered the main dishes.
Chi Yuan looked at the large bowl of fried noodles placed in front of him, his eyes filled with undisguised surprise and joy.
"For me?"
"Eat up. You're not old enough to worry about gaining weight, so you can eat as much as you want." When Jiang Haochen was young, he would have a big meal after every night shoot, and no one had to worry about him gaining weight. Now that he's older, he has to be more careful.
Chi Yuan's eyes welled up with tears: "Thank you."
The person he likes is just that good; even though they came to settle scores with him, they are still so gentle.
Jiang Haochen glanced at the time; it was almost midnight. His main purpose in coming here was to ascertain Chi Yuan's intentions, and now that he understood, there was no need for him to stay any longer.
But as she was about to get up and leave, she caught a glimpse of the collarbone that was exposed when the boy bent over, and her gaze deepened.
There are still teeth marks left from when I bit into it, and they haven't faded yet? I must have bitten it too hard.
Jiang Haochen was so engrossed in watching that he only realized what was happening when the boy finished his fried noodles, looked up, and met his gaze. But who was he? How could he let anyone see his embarrassment?
"The mark is still there?" Jiang Haochen stared openly at the boy's collarbone.
Chi Yuan awkwardly covered his collar.
Jiang Haochen: "They won't let you see it."
Chi Yuan paused, his hand still covering his collar, and hesitated before asking, "You...want to see?"
Jiang Haochen raised an eyebrow. What did he mean? He wanted to see it, so he let him see it?
She just said she was willing to be sidelined to resist unspoken rules, and now she's actively trying to seduce me?
Jiang Haochen suddenly remembered Cui Dong's warning. Cui Dong said that Chi Yuan might not like Wang Ming, but that didn't necessarily mean he didn't like him. This kind of thing was common in this circle. Even the toughest person was just looking for a more suitable master.
Compared to that sleazy Wang Ming, Jiang Haochen has both good looks and resources, and plenty of people want to sleep with him.
Since that's your approach, there's no need for me to be polite.
Jiang Haochen: "What if I want to watch it?"
Chi Yuan immediately released his grip, revealing his collar: "Then you can see."
Jiang Haochen leaned back in his chair with an air of nonchalance: "The neckline isn't big enough."
Chi Yuan blushed slightly, but still reached out and tugged at the collar of his shirt to expose more of his neck.
Jiang Haochen naturally wouldn't be polite to the other party who was deliberately seducing him, especially since the boy's body was indeed good-looking.
Suddenly, he noticed a bluish-purple mark on the boy's fair skin.
Jiang Haochen: "Are you injured?"
Chi Yuan glanced down at his shoulder: "I've been filming wire work scenes these past few days, and the wires have been cutting into my skin for too long."
As he spoke, he pulled his collar back to cover the wound, leaving only his collarbone exposed. But as he pulled on one side, he revealed the other side of the injury; the boy's entire shoulder was almost entirely covered in unscathed skin.
Jiang Haochen: "How many days have you been hanging there?"
Chi Yuan: "Only two or three days."
Jiang Haochen immediately understood: "Wang Ming is deliberately targeting you?"
Chi Yuan hummed in agreement: "But the filming was finished very quickly."
Jiang Haochen couldn't help but say, "Even if you finish filming, there won't be any scenes of you in the movie."
Chi Yuan: "I know, but we signed a contract, and we'd lose money if we didn't film it."
This is also the tragedy of young actors today. Their pay is not much, but the penalty for breach of contract is frighteningly high. A single contract can tie them down.
Seeing that Jiang Haochen remained silent, Chi Yuan assumed he was worried about him and offered words of comfort: "He's using filming as an excuse to torment me, and the rest of the crew is being tormented too. It's going to cost a fortune. He won't be able to keep this up for long. Actually, it's just that I beat him up that day, and he wanted to vent his anger. He'll be fine in a few days."
Jiang Haochen: "Then you were put on hold and sent home, receiving a monthly salary of 5000 yuan."
Chi Yuan nodded: "Mm."
Jiang Haochen: "You don't think your company will let you take this 5000 yuan for nothing, do you? If they want to mess with you, they have plenty of ways to do it."
Chi Yuan said nonchalantly, "I'll do whatever they tell me to do. They can't possibly torture me to death."
Jiang Haochen suddenly couldn't understand Chi Yuan anymore. He had already said so much, shouldn't Chi Yuan take this opportunity to seek his protection?
With just a word from you, your lousy company will have to treat you like royalty.
Jiang Haochen: "They tell you to do whatever they tell you to do, so why didn't you go keep Wang Ming company when they told you to?"
Chi Yuan: "This won't work."
Jiang Haochen found it amusing: "He won't work, but I will?"
Chi Yuan couldn't immediately discern the meaning behind Jiang Haochen's words. He didn't know if Jiang Haochen was joking or questioning him.
Chi Yuan: "I...you...I can compensate you for what happened that day."
Jiang Haochen almost choked on his tea. What the hell? Chi Yuan wants to compensate him? He's really using him as an antidote.
Jiang Haochen: "How will you compensate me?"
Chi Yuan was at a loss for what to do: "What...what do you want to do? As long as it's within my power."
Jiang Haochen asked ambiguously, "What if I asked you to relive that night?"
Chi Yuan's eyes lit up.
A hint of mockery flashed in Jiang Haochen's eyes: "Don't you already have someone you like?"
The person I like is you.
Afraid of being seen through, Chi Yuan quickly lowered his head: "I..."
What a little liar who wants both.
Jiang Haochen lost interest: "Although what happened that night was your fault, it was your first time after all, so I didn't really lose out. I won't pursue it further."
Chi Yuan: "Thank you."
Jiang Haochen put on a hat and mask: "I've already paid the bill, you can finish your meal before you leave."
Chi Yuan stood up and said, "I've finished eating."
Jiang Haochen looked at him warningly: "Do you want me to be photographed with you?"
Chi Yuan immediately stopped: "Then you go first, I'll leave in a while."
Jiang Haochen walked towards the door, and seeing that the boy really didn't call him back, he suddenly turned back in confusion: "Do you have anything to say?"
Chi Yuan: "What?"
Jiang Haochen: "Did you take any pictures of me that night?"
Chi Yuan shook his head frantically: "No."
Jiang Haochen: "That would be best."
Chi Yuan's face paled. So, he was still disliked after all.
Jiang Haochen turned and left.
Chi Yuan stayed in the private room obediently for more than ten minutes before leaving.
When he left, he packed up all the food from the private room; Jiang Haochen had ordered it for him, and he couldn't bear to part with it.
Jiang Haochen drove home from the film studio, and his phone didn't ring once the entire way.
Why didn't Chi Yuan contact him? If he really wanted to seduce him, shouldn't he have taken the initiative to contact him now? Or does he not have his phone number?
Wait a minute, it seems that the young boy never asked him for his contact information from beginning to end.
Damn, should I try to seduce him or not?
Jiang Haochen suddenly felt a bit stifled.
