Quite awkward

Chapter 126 "I want you to help me chase her."

"Are you really not going to shoot anymore?" Yan Shen confirmed again.

"I thought about it carefully. Shooting a kissing scene would make the characters seem too worldly. The feeling just now was just right. It was clear, pure, beautiful and natural."

Qi Yu listened carefully to Ji Xian's analysis. She nodded in agreement and then raised her eyes to meet Yan Shen's.

Yan Shen rolled up the script in his hand, shrugged his shoulders, and said with a smile: "Every time we want to shoot a kissing scene, it always gets canceled suddenly."

Qi Yu was already very familiar with Yan Shen, and she also joked: "Maybe our magnetic fields are not compatible."

……

After leaving the crew, Muchenan took a car to a university in Yunnan and Guizhou. After arriving at his destination, he got off the car at the side door of the school and stood on the sidewalk. Looking around, he saw young college students coming and going.

Not long after, Mu Yanqing walked out of the side door of the school with a thick professional book "Engineering Thermodynamics and Applications" in his hand.

He saw the message on his phone after finishing a long class.

Mu Chenan: [I'll wait for you at the side door of the school. Let's meet.]

Mu Yanqing immediately called back to inquire about the situation, and only then did he know that Mu Chenan was currently near the university.

Instead of going back to the office, he walked directly to the agreed location.

When the two brothers met, Mu Yanqing was quite confused.

“How did you know I was here?”

Mu Chenan did not give a direct answer, but talked about another matter.

"Brother, don't you know that you and Qi Yu are having an affair?"

Scandal?

Mu Yanqing took out his cell phone from under the book and searched Qi Yu's name on the Internet with ease. The first piece of information that appeared was the refutation of the rumor about Qi Yu's love affair.

[Our artist Qi Yu was secretly photographed by paparazzi yesterday. The man in the photo is Qi Yu's older male relative, not the wealthy boyfriend as reported by the paparazzi...]

It took him three minutes to figure out what was going on.

The day before yesterday, he went out to eat with Qi Yu, and then drove her back to the crew's dormitory. They chatted for a while outside the door, but he didn't expect to be photographed by paparazzi hiding in the dark.

The media fabricated and wrote nonsense to guide netizens to focus their gossip on Qi Yu, making all kinds of malicious speculations about her and stigmatizing her.

It's really hateful!

Fortunately, Golden Entertainment has issued a statement to refute this rumor, which has greatly calmed the gossip-mongering hearts of the gossipers and restored Qi Yu's image as an actor in time.

The scandal was released last night, but Qi Yu wanted to bear all the pressure alone, so she chose not to reveal it to him.

Mu Yanqing never thought that her rationality and maturity would be reflected in all aspects. She was always extremely sensible, which made people feel distressed.

Mu Chenan stood opposite him, his eyes dark, observing the reaction on his face coldly.

After turning off his phone, Mu Yanqing had a complicated expression, wanting to know more about what had happened.

“You helped to dispel the rumor?”

"I guess so. Zhang Pei and I have discussed it."

Mu Yanqing nodded with satisfaction and invited with a smile: "You did a good job this time. Let's have dinner together tonight?"

"it is good."

……

The two brothers got in the car and found a nearby restaurant with a nice environment to eat.

The characteristic of this restaurant is that each table is surrounded by green plants, which looks comfortable and cozy.

It was not yet time for dinner and there were no other customers in the restaurant. They sat in a corner and ordered a pot of Maojian green tea.

The waiter brought a teapot and teacups, poured a cup of tea for each of the two handsome male guests, and then reminded them that they could add more hot water and brew the tea leaves twice more, each with a different flavor.

The tea soup is clear, with a strong tea aroma and a sweet aftertaste.

Mu Yanqing took a sip of warm tea, put down the cup and asked, "Why did you come to Yunnan and Guizhou? Isn't the company busy recently?"

"I invested in the movie that Qi Yu is currently starring in. I came over to take a look and will be leaving tomorrow."

"Have you seen Ayu just now?"

"No."

After Mu Chenan finished speaking, he asked indifferently: "Brother, how is your relationship with Qi Yu now?"

Mu Yanqing pondered for a moment, then frankly said, "It's no different from before. Although I haven't seen her for a long time, we still have a lot to talk about. She's never reserved in front of me and always speaks her mind."

"Really?" Mu Chenan sneered in his heart.

Sure enough.

As soon as her eldest brother got divorced, her heart also flew away.

It was obvious that she had been deliberately keeping a distance from her eldest brother before, but now she took the initiative to attack him.

How could he fall for such a woman?

Looking across, I saw my elder brother drinking tea and admiring the green plants around him.

Seeing this, Mu Chenan looked a little serious and spoke in a serious tone.

"Brother, let me tell you something."

Mu Yanqing reached out and touched the leaves of the Monstera, and responded casually, "Go ahead."

"I'm in love with Qi Yu."

After he finished speaking, Mu Yanqing's body stiffened slightly. He turned around and looked at him, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

"What did you say?"

Mu Chenan put one hand on the table, playing with the empty teacup, smiled, and repeated it again.

"I said I like Qi Yu, I want to pursue her, I want her to be my girlfriend."

Mu Yanqing's pupils constricted and he shook his head in disbelief.

"Don't you have a woman? That morning I went to your house to pick up your watch, and you were..."

The empty teacup was placed steadily on the table. Mu Chenan did not respond immediately, but stared at it absentmindedly, his mind in a turmoil.

He couldn't possibly tell his elder brother that the woman in his bed that day was Qi Yu.

He had promised her personally that he would never let his elder brother know about their secret relationship, and he would naturally stick to this promise.

“We separated a long time ago.”

Mu Yanqing's face darkened slightly. He really couldn't stand his romantic behavior and spoke in a heavy and solemn tone.

"So why should I believe that you really like Ayu? Chen An, please don't joke about Ayu. She is different from those women out there."

Mu Chenan had long anticipated that this fabricated woman would become an obstacle to him, but he could only swallow this loss in silence.

"Brother, I'm not kidding. Didn't you ask me to help you take care of Qi Yu when you were in the United States? I've been in contact with her more and more. Can't I fall in love with her over time?"

Mu Yanqing gave him a fierce look and was so angry that he didn't want to talk.

Seeing this, Mu Chenan took advantage of the situation and pursued him.

"Brother, if I'm with Qi Yu, she'll still be the sister you care about the most. If I marry her, you and her will be a family, just like me and Xu Nianhan before."

"You're thinking too far ahead. I don't even need to ask. Ayu is definitely not interested in you. If she doesn't agree, how can you be with her?" Mu Yanqing snorted coldly.

He knew Qi Yu's character very well. From childhood to adulthood, she would only talk about people or things that interested her. After the two met again in the hospital this time, he had never heard her mention his second brother.

Mu Chenan was speechless for a moment, hurriedly drank a sip of the slightly cold tea, and put the cup back on the table neither lightly nor heavily. A crisp sound was audible.

He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly raised the corner of his mouth and said to the other side: "Brother, you really are the one who knows Qi Yu best. I want you to help me pursue her."

This request is really unreasonable and hard to accept.

Mu Yanqing refused without hesitation: "Mu Chenan, don't even think about it. Also, stop thinking about it immediately. Ah Yu can't stand your willfulness and nonsense."

"You like Qi Yu too?" Mu Chenan asked.

"No." Mu Yanqing quickly denied.

"Then what are you stopping me from doing?"

The person opposite pursed his lips and remained silent.

The waiter brought the dinner menus to the two handsome male guests on time.

Mu Chenan leaned back, crossed his legs, and casually flipped through the menu. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Mu Yanqing angrily throw the menu on the table and stood up decisively.

He raised his eyelids and asked lazily, "Aren't you going to eat?"

"I'm not in the mood. Just eat slowly and ask your driver to take me back to school!" Mu Yanqing's voice was filled with anger, but he didn't want to lose his temper in public.

Mu Chenan raised his eyebrows slightly, did not try to persuade him to stay, and responded with "OK".

In fact, he didn't want his elder brother to help him pursue Qi Yu at all. He just wanted to take the lead and let his elder brother know his thoughts, so that his elder brother could keep an appropriate distance from Qi Yu in private and consciously restrain his unnecessary emotions.

-

The first thing Qi Yu did when she got home from work every day was to take a shower. When she came out of the bathroom, she ran into Ling Xue who had just returned from outside.

"You're back. Is it fun here?" she asked casually.

Ling Xue had no work to do that day and felt bored staying in the dormitory, so she made an appointment with local friends to go shopping and played until dark.

"It's quite fun," Ling Xue replied, then scratched her chin for a few seconds to recall what she had just said. She then repeated the man's words in full: "Sister Qi Yu, there's a Mr. Mu downstairs looking for you. He wants you to go downstairs and get something."

Mr. Mu?

Qi Yu stopped drying her hair, walked to the table and turned on her cell phone screen, but did not see any message from her elder brother.

He seemed to have said that he would send her some thick clothes, so why did he come over without saying hello in advance?

She had already changed into her pajamas. Since she was just going to get something, she just put on her coat and pants and put on a mask before going out.

I ran to the first floor, walked through a short corridor, and finally reached the iron gate of the dormitory.

Qi Yu raised his chin and looked out.

Under the light of the street lights at night, there seemed to be a tall and upright figure standing there with its back to this side.

She jumped over the iron threshold and ran over. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, she called out "Brother" twice as she got closer.

The next moment, the man turned around and revealed his face clearly. Qi Yu almost couldn't stop his steps, and finally managed to stabilize his body one meter away from him.

"You, why are you here?"

"Is it not okay to come and see you?" Mu Chenan stepped forward, grasped her slender wrist, and said in a low voice, "Come in the car and talk to me. You don't want me to be stuck here with you, do you?"

Qi Yu did not regard him as a monster, and he also understood some of the truth.

There are a lot of people coming in and out here, and almost everyone knows her. She doesn't want to be involved in another scandal.

"Okay, let go and I'll go with you."

Mu Chenan let go of his hand as he was told and pointed to a black Maybach in front of him.

"You go sit in the back seat, I'll smoke a cigarette and then come back up."

Qi Yu looked at him with disdain, curled his lips, ran to the car he pointed at, opened the black door and got in.

She took off her mask and put it in her pocket, then leaned on the windowsill and looked out through the car window.

The man stood under the dim street light, with silky white smoke rising from his fingers. He just took a few puffs casually, decisively put out the cigarette and threw it into the trash can, then walked straight towards this side.

Mu Chenan opened the back door and looked down to see Qi Yu leaning against the door on the other side, with a look of dislike towards him.

“Can’t you sit up front?”

"Can't."

After saying this, he bent down, got into the car and closed the door.

The two of them sat at each end, and Qi Yu didn't smell too strong a smell of smoke.

She calmed down a little, straightened her back, turned sideways and asked him, "What do you want from me?"

"Call me second brother." Mu Chenan leaned back in his chair and tilted his head to look at her, his voice casual.

She had called him "Brother" so cheerfully twice just now, but now she didn't even call him that. It seemed that she had never thought of him since she came here.

"Second brother, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Qi Yu could give him the respect and politeness he wanted, but also hoped that he would talk less nonsense and get straight to the point.

But Mu Chenan didn't have any real topic to talk about. He just wanted to come and see her because he hadn't seen her for a long time.

"Qi Yu, I meant it when I said I liked you last time."

There was still a hint of nonchalance in his tone.

"You like me?" Qi Yu pointed at herself in disbelief, dragging out the last syllable.

Mu Chenan changed to a comfortable sitting position with his legs open. He accidentally touched Qi Yu's knee. She immediately retracted her legs, and her reaction seemed as if she didn't want to have any physical contact with him.

Had she forgotten that he had carefully touched every part of her body?

There was a hint of loneliness in his expression, and he slowly opened his mouth to express his feelings in front of her.

"Is it strange that I like you? You have to believe in your own charm. I admit that I am superficial. I first fell in love with your face, then became addicted to your body, and finally fell in love with you. Because I like you, I am willing to tolerate you. I didn't disturb you before because I wanted you to finish filming this movie in peace. Until I saw the scandal between you and Big Brother, Qi Yu, I really can't sit still..."

Qi Yu looked calm on the surface, but her heart was actually in turmoil. She was shocked for a long time that Mu Chenan liked her.

This time, she completely believed what he said.

Because this was the first time she saw Muchenan put away his usual coldness and alienation, and he spoke to her sincerely and honestly about his inner thoughts.

She remained silent because she didn't know what to say.

It all comes down to the same thing.

“I hate you. I don’t like you.”

Mu Chenan was completely unlike himself today. He approached her, tightly grasped one of her arms, and pleaded with her in a low, hoarse voice: "Qi Yu, can you please stop hating me?"

Qi Yu tried to pull her hand back, pursed her lips and struggled hard, but he pulled her into his warm embrace.

Mu Chenan hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear: "Qi Yu, don't move. Listen to me first."

This time she really didn't move, she just stayed in his arms obediently and listened to him seriously, but what he said was not a nice thing to hear.
