Fortunately, he quickly returned to his senses and didn’t delay his work. And since he had years of experience in the circle, he didn’t show anything that would give himself away and be exposed.

If only the man in front of him wasn’t Su Zhi He.

Unfortunately, it was Su Zhi He.

This big film emperor, who’s been labeled as a good person by his newly promoted assistant has been mixing in the circle longer than Qin Qing. Even though he often doesn’t follow the usual rules and his temperament can’t be easily grasped, he however understood worldly matters very well and was very observant.

Not to mention how close the two of them were.

Not to talk of the small facial expressions but even the smallest hairs on his face were clearly visible.

So when he looked at him with that blank look and tried to cover it up as he approached with a seemingly calm but obviously absent-minded response; it all fell into Su Zhihe’s eyes

And when he came back to his senses, that quick glance at him had a hint of naivety in it.

These subtle displays coupled with the boy’s nature revealed a premature intelligence and a steadiness that didn’t match his age. And all this made Su Zhihe feel fascinated.

And after all, he was only 18 years old; still a young boy.

Su Zhihe smiled deeply. He calmly lowered his head a bit to look at him.

——The boy was very serious while smearing (the sunscreen) and completely focused.

Strangely enough, on this very hot day, the other men were sweating profusely and smelled of sweat yet Qin Qing didn’t seem very hot. His T-shirt was neat and clean and even his face wasn’t shiny. Only the tip of his nose and forehead had a layer of thin sweat.

Su Zhihe silently stood, and as he felt and watched this, he suddenly thought that the day wasn’t so hot anymore.

Then those fingertips smeared with sunscreen lightly touched skin and there was a faint coolness.

This tinge of coolness ran from forehead to cheek and again to the chin. It was impossible to ignore. It was a hook that dug into the heart and soul.

Su Zhihe hung his lips and smiled down at him.

Qin Qing who was rubbing his chin at that moment felt the movement and subconsciously raised his eyes.

Su Zhihe lowered his eyes a little and asked, “You are not hot?”

Qin Qing withdrew his gaze back to his chin before raising his eyes again: “I’m alright.”

A bit of intrigue appeared in Su Zhihe’s eyes: “I see you didn’t take a hand fan to fan yourself and you didn’t use a small electric fan either.”

Qin Qing withdraw his gaze and continued to rub the sunscreen while replying in a neutral manner: “It’s not very hot standing under the tree shade.”

Su Zhihe looked at him: “What do you usually eat?”

Huh?

Qin Qing raised his eyes.

Su Zhihe’s eyes held a smile: “What do you eat? The day is hot but your hands are cool.”

“……..”

Qin Qing paused for a moment.

Because of some experiences in his previous life, he did not like to have physical contact with others. After being reborn, this problem had gotten a lot better.

Earlier, when he was walking on the road and had reached out to pull Guan Yiyun, who almost ran a red light, he was hooked on the shoulder by a few trainees. he also sat very close to Cui Huohuo, and now he was touching skin by rubbing some sunscreen.

But, it was one thing to accept physical contact, it was another to feel it psychologically.

In the previous life, there were people who used this manner of speaking to ask him why his hand was cold. Qin Qing’s heart would erect a high defense and he would even feel disgusted

But, the same manner of speaking and the same content from Su Zihe’s mouth didn’t make Qin Qing feel like he had to guard against him nor did he feel disgusted.

Maybe, it was because he had just acted like a face dog.

And also because Su Zhihe wasn’t vulgar or greasy.

Qin Qing: “I don’t eat anything special. I’ve been this way since childhood.”

He continued to rub the sunscreen.

Very quickly, the chin had been rubbed and the only thing left was the tip of the nose down to the lip area.

Qin Qing rubbed carefully and made sure not to touch his lips. While rubbing, he said, “Brother He.”

Su Zhihe: “hmm?.”

Qin Qing softly said while concentrating, “purse your lips.”

Su Zhihe: “It’s alright. You can rub it.”

Qin Qing continued to rub and using the tip of his ring finger dabbed on some sunscreen and gently smeared around the lip area. Midway through, Su Zhihe sweated a little on the side of his lips. He (QQ) wrapped a tissue around his forefinger and pressed carefully and seriously.

In a short time, one whole face was covered.

As soon as he finished rubbing, Su Zhihe lightly raised his chin, indicating his neck.

Qin Qing shook the sunscreen in his hand as the corner of his eyes swept through the center of the site. He said, “Then I’ll hurry up and use the palm of my hand to apply it.”

Su Zhihe: “Hmm”

Then his palm covered his Adam’s apple.

Not far away, Ye Chutian and a few of his assistants turned their necks and watched, and standing not far away from them, Tong Lu and his assistants also silently looked.

And under the cover of the tree shade, they watched as Flim Emperor Su lifted his chin to show his neck. And in front of him, his smart, handsome, white and young assistant took a bottle of sunscreen and stretched out his hand bit by bit to rub it.

He rubbed it on seriously and carefully and was so focused that he forgot himself.

One was looking up and one lowered his brows like an immortal looking fondly on his companion with the deepest affection

“……”

This big shot really knows how to enjoy himself ah!

but very soon, no one felt that recording the outdoor variety show on this kind of hellish day was enjoying (themselves).

The sun was getting more and more vicious and the outdoor temperature had reached a level where standing in the sun for a while can make your skin hurt.

The outdoor variety show wasn’t like an indoor one. Here the scenery had already been set up, and the equipment was also pulled into the woods so there was little room to change the process.

They could only do their best to shoot for a while and then rest for a moment, before continuing to shoot.

At this time, because the three amateur guests had never experienced this kind of intense shooting before, they couldn’t endure it and felt like the heat was about cause heatstroke. one by one they asked for a break to return to the vehicle to blast the air conditioner to cool down.

The program team refused.

The reason was: Everyone is the same right now, not just you guys. The weather won’t just be hot for a while, either. If you wait until the afternoon, it’ll only get hotter. If you request to blast the air conditioning to cool down now, what about in the afternoon? Just bear with it for a while and let’s finish today’s shoot.

Outside the site, Cui Huohuo, who had gone to the car to get ice, came back.

As soon as he came back, he just happened to witness the scene where the amateur guest asked for a break but was refused by the program team.

Cui Huohuo stood beside Qin Qing, he was tired and sweating all over. Strands from his short-sleeve cuffs hung from his shoulders and stuck to his back: “Artists can really endure.”

The amateur guests had all asked for a break while the three male artists didn’t say a word.

At his words, Qin Qing huffed out a laugh and glanced at Cui Huohuo.

Cui Huohuo: “It’s wrong?”

It’s wrong.

It wasn’t that the artists were able to endure.

It was that they were recording the program with Su ZiHe. Both Ye Chutian and Tong Lu can only restrain themselves.

Who asked them to be at odds with Boss Su

Men who don’t agree would want to compete with each other and whoever wants to rest at this time will lose face.

Cui Huohuo stared at the center of the recording site in disbelief: “so it’s like this?”

He also wondered: “but our boss isn’t competing against them, so why are both of them competing against our boss?” 

Although, Su ZhiHe also hasn’t asked for a break yet.

Qin Qing looked at Cui Huohuo with amusement: “See for yourself, he’s had no reason to”

It was very obvious that Su Zhi He’s attention was on the recording and on the strategy, and there was a deliberate effort not to bring private emotions into work as he communicated with Ye Chutian, Tong Lu, and the other three amateur guests.

With years of experience and professional ability, Qin Qing keenly saw that Su Zhi He was an extremely resilient and action-oriented artist.

If it wasn’t necessary, he was unlikely to voluntarily ask for rest because it would delay the recording.

At the same time, he was able to efficiently comply with the recording, tolerate the harshness of the environment to the maximum extent possible, and not use his status (in the circle) for personal demands. There was also his physical fitness that was far superior to other guests.

Qin Qing silently watched. He discovered this after observing for only a moment.

He secretly said that Su Zhihe was worthy of being Su Zhihe. If he could have met this kind of artist in his last life, regardless of whether it was a film emperor or a newcomer, his face would’ve been swollen with laughter.

It was a pity that they weren’t destined to meet in the last life. And in this life, there was now a coincidence of chance, however, Qin Qing was no longer an agent but just an ordinary assistant.

Of course, the small assistant shouldn’t care about how good the artist is, they should only do their work well.

——if he ought to hold an umbrella; he should hold the umbrella. If he ought to hand over water; he should hand over the water and if he ought to reapply the sunscreen; he should do it. Also since the later sun was really vicious so he covered Su Zhihe with two sun-shielding sleeves.

and additionally, the ice cubes that Cui Huohuo carried back were packed by the dozen into plastic bags by Qin Qing and then wrapped in a dry towel so that when Su Zhihe rested and got off the site, it would be pressed on his skin to cool down.

As for the times he had nothing to do. Qin Qing would sit under the tree shade and flip through a palm-sized booklet.

Curious, Cui Huohuo sat beside him  and asked, “What are you reading?”

Qin Qing raised the cover for him to see: “Formula handbook.”

Cui Huohuo was surprised: “Oh, you are studying.”

Didn’t you already drop out of school?

Qin Qing: “Casual reading.” He generously admitted, “there is a chance to go back to school.”

Cui Huohuo was shocked.

The outdoor sun was vicious and it wasn’t any better under the tree shade. Outside, it must be forty degrees or more, and the heat made people sweat and feel restless. nothing could be done. But Qin Qing in spite of this was able to sit here and seriously study?

And he also thought that he already dropped out of school, but was still studying so he must really want to return to school right?

Cui Huohuo: “You can read all that?” 

Qin Qing: “The formulas are short and simple to memorize.”

Cui Huohuo: “Aren’t you hot?”

Qin Qing: “It’s not bad.”

Cui Huohuo sincerely admired him and said, “You must have been a top student* before.”

Only a top student could study like there was nobody around.  Unlike him in those days, when his deskmate rummaged through a pen bag during the exam, he felt that he couldn’t answer the exam questions because of the noise.

Bullshit,* he couldn’t answer the questions.

t/n: 狗屁 Literally: “dog fart”. Bullshit; rubbish; shit; utter crap…etc

It was simply that he didn’t know how to!

My two cents

t/n: it was more likely that CHH didn’t know how to answer those questions rather than he knew how to but couldn’t because of his neighbor’s rummaging noise (¬‿¬)
