The next day.
After greeting Xu Muqing, she picked up the finished script and read it.
Although it was a cartoon that she had drawn herself, after the script was polished, she was so engrossed in it that she not only forgot the time, but even forgot that there was someone else in front of her.
When she realised, Qi Huan hurriedly closed the script and apologised: “Sorry, senior, the script was so well written that I got lost in it for a while.”
“That’s okay.” Xu Muqing shook his head and smiled lightly, “If you like it, it means it’s a success.”
Qi Huan’s satisfaction with the script was self-evident, so she curled her eyes and smiled, “Is the start date already set? I really didn’t expect that my work would be turned into a film or television series, or that it would be with such a good company. Thank you, senior. I know you’ve been a lot of help. “
“It’s not like I don’t make money either. If my work is popular, it’s only natural that the word of mouth and earnings will not be bad. ” Xu Muqing smiled back.
Suddenly, he asked, “Your new work has already been serialised, right?”

After chatting with Xu Muqing about work, Qi Huan went straight to He-Yuan.
When the secretary saw her coming, her tone was quite intimate, “Miss Qi Huan, the boss just came back from a meeting and is in the office.”
Qi Huan smiled and thanked her, then asked again, “How is he? Is he in a good mood today? “
The secretary thought for a moment and said, “Not much of an expression, but definitely not in a good mood.”
Qi Huan understood, winked and smiled, “I’ll go coax him.”
After ending the chat, she went to Qu Jianshen’s office door and knocked on the door first.
A clear, deep voice came from inside. “Come in.”
Qi Huan’s lips raised slightly. She opened the door and entered. Seeing that Qu Jianshen was still working with his head down, she deliberately did not make a sound. She gently closed the door, moved a chair to the side, and sat down next to the desk.
At this time, Qu Jianshen did not notice, nor did Qi Huan remind him. She just looked at his side profile steadily.
After a few seconds, Qu Jianshen reacted before raising his head.
His eyebrows, which had been slightly knitted, instantly stretched out, and his eyes lit up before revealing a light smile. “You still know to come to me, huh?”
There was just a bit of sadness in his tone.
Qi Huan held her cheeks and smiled, “Didn’t I just come over after talking about work?”
Qu Jianshen’s eyebrows dropped slightly, “I thought you had forgotten about me.”
Qi Huan curled her eyes and smiled, “I can smell the sour smell.”
But then she reassured him, “We’re about to start filming, and this is the last time we’ll meet to talk about this project. Senior is going to prepare for the shooting of the movie, so we might not have many chances to meet in the future. “
When Qu Jianshen heard this, his eyes instantly coloured with joy, “It’s long overdue.”
Qi Huan’s eyes curled in a smile, even a little smug, “You like me that much, huh?”
“Yes.” Qu Jianshen graciously admitted.
Because he answered so quickly, Qi Huan was stunned.
But at this point, Qu Jianshen slightly curled his lips, “I read the manhua. Did you like me at a very early stage? “
Qi Huan’s cheeks instantly heated up, “Who told you to read it!”
“You’ve drawn it; how can I not go and read it?” Qu Jianshen looked at her with a wry smile, “But you’ve really liked me since junior high school?”
Qi Huan’s heart jumped wildly, and she couldn’t help but want to run away, “I remembered I have something to do. I’ll go first!”
But Qu Jianshen was quick to grab her wrist and said, with a smile, “You may not be able to leave today.”
Qi Huan: “……”

On the official opening day of Jiang Ruixia’s cafe, Qi Huan brought a bouquet of flowers to congratulate her.
Because it was opened not far from Xichuan University, many students came. The opening discount was huge, and Jiang Ruixia was so busy that she didn’t have time to talk to Qi Huan.
It was only in the late afternoon, when the number of customers decreased, that Jiang Ruixia found time to go to Qi Huan.
“You’re such a cool investor, sitting here relaxing and drinking coffee, while I, the boss, have to work my ass off.” Jiang Ruixia spoke sourly.
Qi Huan then had time to hand over the bouquet she had bought, saying, “Good luck with the opening. May you make lots and lots of money.”
Jiang Ruixia smelled the flowers and smiled contentedly, “That’s more like it.”
Qi Huan surveyed the cafe and smiled back, “You have such a good aesthetic. If there was a cafe like this near my house, I’d probably spend the whole day here.”
“I’ve contacted some online celebrities and am going to do an online promotion.” Jiang Ruixia pursed her lips and smiled, “There’s a return on investment.”
Qi Huan glanced towards the door again and asked, “Where’s Jianyi? I heard she was planning to come. Why haven’t we seen her?”
“She said she had a scene to shoot at the last minute, so she couldn’t come.” Jiang Ruixia pointed to the cabinet in the exhibition area and gave another heated smile, “The gift just arrived. Jianyi left me an autograph, saying that if she gets hot in the future, there will be a lot of room for appreciation.”
Qi Huan laughed helplessly, “That’s what she said when she gave me her autograph before.”
“But when she finishes filming, I guess I’ll be closed too, so let’s have dinner together then.” Jiang Ruixia said, “Don’t say you don’t have time; you have to leave me the time tonight.”
Qi Huan hurriedly promised, “Don’t worry, I’ll be with you tonight. I don’t even know who Qu Jianshen is!”
Jiang Ruixia puffed out a laugh, “That’s not so bad.”
In the evening, the three of them gathered at the hot pot restaurant.
Qu Jianyi was the latest to arrive. She took off his cashmere coat and apologised, “Sorry, I was supposed to finish filming, but I got dragged into taking pictures with people, so it took a lot of time.”
Jiang Ruixia laughed, “Oh, Jianyi is on fire. She has so many fans!”
“They’re all fans of the main actor. They just happened to see me, so they wanted to take a photo together.” Qu Jianyi explained, and then couldn’t wait to extend her chopsticks, “Wow, my favourite fish ball is cooked.”
Seeing Qu Jianyi keep eating, Qi Huan was also a little surprised. “Didn’t your agent control your diet?”
“It is controlled.” Qu Jianyi said and stuffed her mouth, “But as long as I don’t say anything, how will she know what I’ve eaten, right?”
Qi Huan’s mouth twitched. “But you’re not fat either, and you look fine on camera.”
“You guys have to keep me a secret. My agent reports me to my brother every day. ” Qu Jianyi muttered, “It’s causing me to be scolded by my brother a lot.”
Qi Huan smiled and comforted her. “It’s alright, I’ll scold him back.”
Qu Jianyi’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Sister-in-law is the best!”
Qi Huan’s cheeks reddened and she shoved a beef ball directly into her mouth, “Eat your hot pot!”
“Are you going to spend New Year’s Eve with Qu Jianshen this year?” Jiang Ruixia abruptly mentioned.
Qi Huan froze and nodded, “I think so.”
Jiang Ruixia gripped her chopsticks in anger, as if her own cabbage [1] had been abducted. “In previous years, you’ve always spent it with me!”
Qi Huan:”…..”
Qu Jianyi comforted from the side, “Sister Xia Xia, I’ll spend it with you. Single people should stick to each other.”
***
On the night of New Year’s Eve, Qi Huan and Qu Jianshen had dinner together at the restaurant.
Because she was happy, she drank a few more sips of red wine, and her slight drunkenness instantly went to her head.
“Qu Jianshen, let’s spend the night at your house today.”
Qi Huan leaned into Qu Jianshen’s arms and boldly invited.
Before the lights were turned on, the sound of breathing in the darkness was particularly intense and sharp, and the bodies pressed against each other almost ignited at this moment.
Qi Huan wasn’t sure whether she had deliberately ventured straight in with the intent to drink or whether she had already blacked out. It was as if Qu Jianshen was her only source of water at the moment, and she desperately needed him to relieve herself.
Qu Jianshen clasped Qi Huan’s waist, pressed her against the wall, and kissed her, deeper and more intensely than ever before.
It was a short distance from the living room to the bedroom, but it took them nearly an hour.
Qu Jianshen held Qi Huan’s hand tightly and interlocked his fingers with hers, his low voice slowly saying, “Huan Huan, I love you.”
Early morning.
Qi Huan woke up in the crook of Qu Jianshen’s arm. It wasn’t the first time she saw Qu Jianshen up close, but it was the first time she saw him from such an angle.
His eyes were delicate, his nose was upright, and his sleeping face was so serene that Qi Huan was mesmerised as she watched, and another picture appeared in her mind.
Last night, the crazy, passionate Qu Jianshen.
Her cheeks burned, and she dared not think about it further.
Qu Jianshen opened his eyes just then, and his lips curled slightly as he said, “It’s really exactly the same as in my dream. If the memory of last night wasn’t so real, I might have thought I was still dreaming. “
Qi Huan’s heart softened. “It’s true.”
Qu Jianshen reached out and wrapped her into his arms, smiling contentedly, “Even if it was a dream, I’ll do it for the rest of my life.”
And only with you.

[1] Cabbage, in this case, refers to the way fathers, in particular, call their daughters.

Thanks you translator Nim. You did a good job. Really this was a good pick.
She was so annoying at first, but slowly we understand that she wasn’t sure of his feelings and didn’t want to be in z loveless relationship. He could have been honest from the start but … There will be no story right ?
