Love Rival Is Getting Prettier Everyday - Chap 210
Chapter 210: Phone Calls Can Also Deepen Feelings
Yesterday’s call was accidental.
The new drama was directed by Guo Rui, the director of and produced by Sunshine Media, was about to begin shooting. Bai Qingquan had been with the crew for the script reading for the past two days, so he hadn’t seen Shi Lei during this time.
When he returned to the hotel yesterday, it was already late at night. No matter how late it got, they would always call each other before going to bed. After he washed up and laid down on the bed, he called Shi Lei.
However, the call kept ringing, but no one picked it up. He was worried that Shi Lei might be drunk. Shi Lei had told him earlier that he had a friend who was getting married, and he was his best man because of his high alcohol tolerance, so he was in charge of stopping drinks for him.
He put the phone down and was about to go to bed. As soon as he became drowsy, his phone rang. It was Shi Lei calling. As soon as he connected, he heard Shi Lei’s slightly hoarse voice asking, “Just came back?”
“Are you asleep?”
Shi Lei: “Nn. After drinking so much, I became sleepy. I fell asleep after lying down for a while.”
“You didn’t drink too much, did you?”
Shi Lei smiled and said, “Honestly, I haven’t drunk this much in years. When I was in junior high, I drank a lot.”
Bai Qingquan put his phone on speaker and set it on the pillow.
“What are you doing?” Shi Lei asked.
“In bed. I almost fell asleep.”
“Tired?”
“Not tired.” Bai Qingquan had a lot to talk about with Shi Lei, especially since he started reading the script for . It was well written, so he was very excited. He told Shi Lei about all the interesting things that happened during the script reading today. As soon as his chatterbox opened, he couldn’t stop it. Shi Lei was diligent, as he listened to him and would ask questions from time to time.
The book that this drama is based on, and that Guo Rui chose naturally, wasn’t a regular film, especially after the explosion from . is a costume detective drama. The first portion of the drama was very exciting, and the current script was only written for the first six episodes.
After talking about the script, they moved on to the wedding reception that Shi Lei attended.
“I have been the best man four times,” Shi Lei said.
The two then talked about the times Shi Lei had served as the best man, and Bai Qingquan became more excited as he chatted, and his sleepiness gradually faded.
The topic eventually turned to bridal chamber customs as the two talked about the old marriage customs in Xichuan County. Shi Lei talked about how he was a scoundrel back when he was young. When the eldest brother of their neighbor got married, he was in his teens at the time, so he and some other kids secretly went to eavesdrop on the bridal chamber.
“As a result, I didn’t hear anything.”
When this topic came up, the atmosphere had changed a bit. Although Shi Lei spoke in a joking tone, his original intention was probably just to share some of the absurdity of his childhood. This topic was easy to guide lovers toward a more viscous emotion. Shi Lei suddenly said, “When I fell asleep just now, I dreamed of you.”
Bai Qingquan followed his words and asked, “What did you dream of me?”
Shi Lei smiled but didn’t speak.
Bai Qingquan’s spirits were aroused. “Hm? What did you dream of?”
Shi Lei said, “Something not suitable for young children.”
Bai Qingquan laid down on the bed and smiled softly. Just a light sentence had rocked his emotions. He said, “It must’ve been on your mind every day, which is why you dream about it at night. What are you thinking about all day?”
“Nothing,” Shi Lei said. “I just want to marry you one day.”
He really thought about it that way. It was inevitable that it would be on his mind since he had just attended a wedding.
“Are you really a virgin?” Bai Qingquan said. “Tell the truth. I won’t get angry.”
Shi Lei seemed a little embarrassed. “What are you asking… Why are you even asking?”
“I heard that virgins have pure dreams, which are different from those with experience. At most, they’ll only dream of kissing.”
“How do you know that I dreamed of something other than kissing?”
Bai Qingquan smiled, clutching his pillow, as he heard Shi Lei make a “Hm?” sound.
This “Hm” sound was a normal sound that most people say but could sound a bit too greasy when some try to be too forceful, but when Shi Lei said it, it sounded very sexy. His voice and calm temperament were too suitable for this “hm”. It was low and strong and had a bit of force behind it.
Bai Qingquan’s heart pounded as he heard the rustling sound coming from the other end. “I’m just guessing.”
“Then you guess correctly,” Shi Lei whispered. “Sometimes I have dreams that are quite realistic. When I wake up, it takes a while to calm down. If I keep dreaming about it, I’ll have to change my pants.”
Bai Qingquan rolled around and gave a slight “Nn”. He was being deliberate, as his “Nn” sounded very sultry. Shi Lei was silent for a while before his voice suddenly became ambiguous as he asked in a low tone, “What are you doing?”
“Nothing.”
Shi Lei smiled.
“Acting a bit reckless again?” Shi Lei said suddenly.
With just this one sentence, which sounded strong and ruffian, brought Bai Qingquan into a whirlpool of desire.
It then became truly inappropriate for young children. Shi Lei’s voice was strong, and his words were vulgar. People around Bai Qingquan treated him like a fairy, so when he heard this kind of thing, especially from the mouth of the man that he liked, it would make him blush so much that even his ears would turn red. He quickly pulled up the blanket and covered his head as he talked to Shi Lei in the dark.
The darkness was a good thing, as it could cover up all the shame. When Shi Lei called him “baobei” lovingly, he almost completely lost control. This was the first time Shi Lei called him baobei.
He almost responded by calling him husband, and this had always been the greatest desire in his heart. Fortunately, he was able to hold back and keep it for later.
Shen Jintai glanced at Bai Qingquan’s red face. Bai Qingquan hadn’t said anything about crossing the line, but Shen Jintai could probably imagine the entire scenario, which was not suitable for children. He felt that it didn’t matter if Shi Lei was able to catch Bai Qingquan or not, because at the end of the day, he had already secured his heart.
Shen Jintai originally wanted to educate Bai Qingquan but found out that Bai Qingquan had already engaged in phone play. If he hadn’t done it earlier, as he was detained in bed for two days after he returned from filming, he felt that he could definitely try this kind of play in the future.
This time Zheng Siqi did not join them, so it was only Shen Jintai, Bai Qingquan, Shi Lei, Qian Wei, and Xiao Feng. At the end of the meal, Bai Qingquan, Qian Wei, and Xiao Feng left first, while Shen Jintai and Shi Lei stayed behind. Shen Jintai said, “Xiao Bai seems to love you very much.”
“I love him more,” Shi Lei said.
Shen Jintai could perceive Shi Lei’s love for Bai Qingquan.
Shi Lei and Yan Qiuchi were different. Although they were men of few words, Shi Lei was more outgoing in terms of showing his feelings. Once he and Bai Qingquan had established their relationship, he acted like a standard boyfriend should. He was intimate and considerate, as if it were a natural thing, and he wasn’t afraid to be seen by others. Even in front of people like him and Qian Wei, he didn’t restrain his feelings. Yan Qiuchi was relatively cold on the outside as he maintained his gentlemanly demeanor, but he was quite different behind closed doors. After leaving those doors, he still maintained a very dignified appearance in front of his family and friends.
And this very dignified President Yan was waiting for him outside.
After Shi Lei got in the car and left, he asked, “Why did you come out with him?”
“For fear of being photographed secretly, Xiao Bai and the others left first.”
“Did you drink?” Yan Qiuchi leaned forward and smelled his mouth.
“Just a little,” Shen Jintai said.
As Yan Qiuchi was driving, he asked, “How is your investigation going?”
“I think I can end it. Xiao Bai has completely fallen in love with him,” Shen Jintai said. “He seems to be crazy about him. While I think it’s a bit manly, it’s also kind of bad.”
“As long as you, as a friend, have said everything you need to say, then you can only give your blessings. Whether he’s the right or wrong person, they still need to experience that for themselves.”
Shen Jintai said, “Occasionally, I still find it incredible. I originally thought that Xiao Bai liked types like you.”
“What am I like?”
“Handsome, cultured, gentlemanly,” Shen Jintai smiled.
Yan Qiuchi and Shi Lei were completely two types of men, and they were the best of those two types. The difference was pretty significant.
The end result was that Bai Qingquan fell in love with his crew-cut senior, who wasn’t that handsome and didn’t have much culture but was more ruffian. Fate was truly wonderful. Just like he had liked Bai Qingquan as a little 0 beauty at first, he finally fell in love with Yan Qiuchi, who was completely of a different type. What was more surprising was that Yan Qiuchi also fell in love with him.
“So, I’m a gentleman again,” Yan Qiuchi said. “Why did you keep calling me a hooligan yesterday?”
If he hadn’t brought it up, Shen Jintai would’ve forgotten it again. Yan Qiuchi was really… not a gentleman in private. He felt that Shi Lei, who seemed to have no inhibitions and was very good at acting like a gangster, might not have Yan Qiuchi’s taste in private.

Then you underestimate Sishi.
