Love Rival Is Getting Prettier Everyday - Chap 203
Chapter 203: Be My Boyfriend
Bai Qingquan sat in the car and lowered the window a bit. The wind came through and tussled his hair. It was hot. It was almost noon, and the wind was hot, which only made his cheeks hotter. While the air conditioning in the car was turned on, he was still hot.
One arm leaned against the car door, while his thumb propped on his chin, as his fingers gently rubbed his lips. The feeling of the kiss seems to still be there. Bai Qingquan had never been kissed like this before.
He had done a lot of kissing scenes during filming, but he either used a stand-in or it was only lip-to-lip. He had never opened his mouth. Even for a movie of the scale of , he and Shen Jintai had never kissed so fiercely.
Wasn’t this kiss really too much for the first time? But he didn’t resist, so did it seem like he liked it too much?
Shi Lei glanced at Bai Qingquan from time to time while driving. His heart hadn’t slowed down. He couldn’t figure out what Bai Qingquan was thinking.
He had just kissed him mouth-to-mouth, but there was no resistance. He pushed forward but still met no resistance. Later, after kissing, Bai Qingquan only wiped away the saliva from the corner of his mouth but didn’t say anything.
After the adrenaline had passed, he felt flustered when he looked at Bai Qingquan. When Bai Qingquan coughed, he suddenly said, “Eat… Let’s go get something to eat. I’m hungry.”
Shi Lei: “…”
He followed Bai Qingquan out silently, and the two did not speak again even after they got into the car.
Judging by the reactions of most normal people, kissing is different from other things. If there was no resistance and no rejection, he could assume that it meant Bai Qingquan had acquiesced, right?
Shi Lei was overjoyed at the thought of this possibility. He put his hand on the steering wheel and tapped his fingers lightly. He had already booked a restaurant.
When the car stopped in front of the entrance to the restaurant, Bai Qingquan put on a mask and got out. Shi Lei hurriedly got out of the car, gave the valet a tip as he handed off the keys, and escorted Bai Qingquan into the restaurant.
He had booked a private room. As soon as the door to the private room closed, the ambiguous feeling came again. Shi Lei poured him a cup of tea, and Bai Qingquan took it and drank it carefully.
“It’s a bit hot,” Shi Lei said.
Bai Qingquan said “Nn” and didn’t say anything else. His lips became redder when they touched the hot tea, which reminded Shi Lei of the feeling of kissing him.
Bai Qingquan tasted as sweet as he thought. It was far better and sweeter than he thought.
The waitress knocked on the door as Shi Lei sat down and said, “Come in.”
The waitress was taken aback when she saw Bai Qingquan, but their restaurant was often the place that celebrities went to dine, so she still maintained her professional demeanor and asked with a smile, “What would you like to order?”
“You order it,” Bai Qingquan said to Shi Lei. “You can order whatever you think is delicious, and I will try it.”
Shi Lei ordered four dishes and a sweet and sour soup.
The waitress smiled and left the private room and immediately gossiped to her colleagues. “Bai Qingquan!”
“What Bai Qingquan*?”
*Clarity: Bai Qingquan’s name means white clear spring, so when the waitress just screamed out Bai Qingquan, her colleagues were confused a bit by the name as she was just saying white clear spring.
“What do you mean what Bai Qingquan?! Who else can I be referring to besides the Bai Qingquan of The East Palace! The actor who acted with Shen Jintai. He came in with a handsome guy just now. That Bai Qingquan!”
They all knew about Bai Qingquan’s gossip, so all their eyes lit up when they heard her. “Boyfriend?”
“I can’t tell.”
In the private room, Bai Qingquan sipped tea and looked out. Outside the window was a landscaped river with weeping willows on both sides.
Shi Lei felt that he was suffering more now than when he had his unrequited love. He didn’t know what was going on in Bai Qingquan’s head.
What is Bai Qingquan thinking? Are they in love?
“It was so sudden,” Bai Qingquan said suddenly.
Shi Lei looked at him, his heart pounding.
“I have to think about it,” Bai Qingquan’s face flushed slightly as he turned away and didn’t look at him. He seemed shy, and with this innocent appearance, it looked very moving.
The fact that Bai Qingquan did not resist was already a great surprise for him. Hearing him say “I have to think about it”, that was an even bigger surprise. The same recklessness that made him take action back when he was a teenager had now reached a different ending.
The corners of Shi Lie’s mouth widened as his smile narrowed. His throat bobbed up and down, and he couldn’t help but fantasize in his mind.
The two of them didn’t talk anymore. After the dishes were brought over, they ate in silence, but the atmosphere had completely changed. Bai Qingquan had lost his previous calmness and felt that Shi Lei seemed to have become more unabashed. His eyes were very hot, fierce, and naked, and his timidity only exacerbated Shi Lei’s indulgence.
After their meal, Shi Lei sent him back. On the way back, Shi Lei was very restless and stopped trying to engage in small talk with him. He felt that if it weren’t for the fear of being rejected by him, Shi Lei would confess on the spot.
Bai Qingquan sat nervously on the entire ride home and quickly ran away when they parted. As soon as he returned to the hotel, he immediately called Shen Jintai.
As a result, Shen Jintai’s call was answered by Xiao Tang. “Brother Jin is currently filming. I’ll let him know to call you back later.”
Bai Qingquan hung up the phone, laid down on the bed, sinking his body into the blankets, and closed his eyes. The feeling of being kissed appeared again.
Shi Lei was so domineering, and as such, so were his kisses. It turned out that a wet kiss felt like this.
Shen Jintai called him back a little after 1 PM.
“You were looking for me?”
“You were filming until now?”
Shen Jintai: “Nn. It was so hot today that I was sweating profusely.”
Bai Qingquan said, “I may have fallen in love.”
Shen Jintai was taken aback for a moment, then asked directly, “With your senior?”
Bai Qingquan said, “When I went to see the house with him today, he suddenly kissed me.”
“Shit,” Shen Jintai said. “And you let him? Isn’t this too soon? Weren’t you filming with the crew all this time before? How many times did you meet with him?”
“It was quite sudden,” Bai Qingquan said.
Shen Jintai said, “Brother, I know that you’re a girl with a spring heart who’s lonely, but he’s an ordinary person, and you’re a star. You still need to be cautious when you fall in love. Otherwise, you’ll be the one who suffers.”
Shen Jintai felt that although Bai Qingquan was two years older than him, he was really not as mature as him, and he was probably too thirsty for love. Therefore, when the crew cut senior made a little attack, he had already fallen into the enemy’s hands. It was also a matter of whether the senior was reliable or not, and his character was still unclear.
Bai Qingquan liked this senior. He had seen and heard about him time and time again. He was someone who needed love and to be loved more than he did, so Shen Jintai supported him in having more contact with this senior. That way he could get a better understanding of him, but he didn’t expect the two of them to fall in love so quickly. What would happen if Bai Qingquan got deceived?
“I’ll take a break in a few days and go back to Nancheng. Make an appointment with your senior and let’s meet first. Don’t rush to fall in love. I’ll call Siqi. We’re your friends, so if the two of you fall in love, he’ll eventually meet us sooner or later.”
Bai Qingquan said, “Okay.”
Shen Jintai said, “Don’t act rashly. After all, you’re an artist, so you must be cautious when falling in love. Restrain your spring heart first!”
Bai Qingquan laughed and laid down on the bed and kicked his legs. “Ahhhhhh, when he kissed me today, my legs felt really soft. When we filmed our kissing scene, you said that it was just kissing, so how could it be different? But… and he also use tongue…”
Bai Qingquan blushed again as he spoke.
It was amazing. So amazing. Bai Qingquan’s spring heart had already sprouted, and he couldn’t stop it.
Shen Jintai felt that he had to go back immediately. “I will ask for leave to go back tomorrow. You call that senior… What’s his name?”
“Shi Lei.”
Yes, Shi Lei. He almost forgot such a popular name.
“Make an appointment with him, and I’ll meet him,” Shen Jintai said.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Jintai couldn’t concentrate on filming any longer.
Zheng Siqi was in Nancheng recently, so he called Zheng Siqi and told him about it.
Zheng Siqi said, “So fast?”
“I guess Xiao Bai is already tempted. If Shi Lei had been a little more offensive, he’d have fallen by now,” Shen Jintai said.
Zheng Siqi believed that Bai Qingquan was in love. He was similar to Shen Jintai in terms of opinion. It wasn’t like they thought Shi Lei wasn’t worthy of Bai Qingquan. However, they felt that people like them needed to be cautious when they fell in love with ordinary people.
Celebrities generally date within their inner circle. In addition to having something in common, there was also a very important reason. That was, they were all dignified figures, so it wasn’t easy to create a scandal. It was also the same reason why female celebrities married wealthy businessmen. If you look for ordinary people, the danger becomes higher. After all, those who were barefoot weren’t afraid of wearing shoes*. In case the other party makes trouble, it is the star who will suffer.
*It means they have less to lose, so they have fewer scruples when doing things.
Of the three of them, Shen Jintai was the most mature and stable, as well as the most rational, followed by Zheng Siqi, while the most emotional and fragile was Bai Qingquan; thus, they both developed a protective mentality towards Bai Qingquan.
Shen Jintai really rushed back from the crew the next day.
“Ask him out for a drink,” Shen Jintai said.
Only men who were drunk would reveal the truth, as alcohol brought out their true character.
“Are you going to try to outdrink him?” Bai Qingquan said, “He drinks very well. Even the three of us combined can’t outdrink him.”
“Call Wei Ge,” Zheng Siqi said. “He drinks well.” Qian Wei’s alcohol intake is among the best among them.
Bai Qingquan was a little embarrassed by such a big battle but seeing how Zheng Siqi and Shen Jintai care about him so much, he couldn’t refuse.
He called Shi Lei.
It had only been a day since he hadn’t seen him, but Shi Lei has been in a feverish state of excitement*. He especially regretted that he did not say what he wanted to say yesterday.
*Ants on a hot pan (热锅上的蚂蚁)
He was not only excited that Bai Qingquan actually agreed to consider it, but he was also worried. Worried that Bai Qingquan was just being considerate of him and would play the “nice guy” card later.
He felt he acted too recklessly. He could count the number of times he had met Bai Qingquan with just one hand. If Bai Qingquan calmed down and said that he shouldn’t contact him again… This thought made him panic.
He has now become the meat on the chopping block, and the right to decide was all given to Bai Qingquan.
The moment he connected Bai Qingquan’s call, he was extremely nervous.
“I’m drinking in a bar with a few friends.” Bai Qingquan’s voice sounded no different than usual. “Would you like to come?”
How could Shi Lei refuse? How could he dare to refuse?
After hanging up the phone, he immediately went to the bathroom to wash up. He remembered the kiss from yesterday. It was seared in his mind all night. His hormones increased just from the thought. In addition to staying up late, more stubble had appeared than usual. He was a man who had strong hair. As a result, he nicked himself while shaving in a hurry and had to use a band-aid to cover it up.
He was originally a person who didn’t pay much attention to how he dressed. Because he wanted to impress Bai Qingquan, he had recently tried to be steady and delicate in his fashion choices as he bought the most exquisite clothes he could find. He wore a shirt and put on a casual suit, looking extremely energetic, which matched his crew cut.
He picked up the cologne he had just bought but hesitated for a while before putting it down again. He was a man who never wore cologne.
