My Cat And I Both Like You

Chapter 23

     Seeing Qin Suiyi coming, Qu Mingnan couldn’t help but get nervous… Was this the right time to send the flowers? Ren Qian was still beside him. It was very embarrassing to give flowers to a man in front of his ex-girlfriend. But after a while, everyone else would be there. Would he have to send flowers to Qin Suiyi in front of everyone else? Wasn’t that more embarrassing?

    Since it was bound to happen anyway, it was better to die sooner than later!

    So Qu Mingnan gritted his teeth, left Nan Sile and walked towards Qin Suiyi and Ren Qian.

    Nan Sile probably thought that Qu Mingnan was going to send flowers to Ren Qian, so he didn’t care. He found a corner and sat down at random, intending to stay put.

    While encouraging himself, Qu Mingnan walked toward Qin Suiyi and Ren Qian with his head held high.

    He didn’t know what they were talking about, and they seemed to be chatting happily until Qin Suiyi noticed Qu Mingnan who was walking toward them aggressively.

    Ren Qian quickly followed Qin Suiyi’s line of sight to find Qu Mingnan. She looked at Qu Mingnan’s expressionless face and thought that he was going to do something like last time. She quickly stopped Qu Mingnan from approaching: “What are you doing here?” She didn’t come to the crew yesterday. Of course, she didn’t know that Qu Mingnan had managed to infiltrate the crew.

    Qu Mingnan paused. Looking at Ren Qian’s cautious and vigilant expression, he suddenly didn’t know how to open his mouth.

    They looked at each other, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

    In the end, it was Qin Suiyi, an outsider who broke the embarrassment. He seemed to notice the red rose in Qu Mingnan’s hand and said, “It seems that Director Qu is here to find you. Miss Ren Qian, then I will not disturb you.”

   …Wait a minute! I’m here to find you!

    Qu Mingnan shouted in his heart. He opened his mouth, but couldn’t say a word.

    Qin Suiyi nodded to them, and quickly turned around and left.

    Ren Qian pursed her lips: “You came to find me?”

    Qu Mingnan watched helplessly as Qin Suiyi left: “I…”

    He clearly came to find Qin Suiyi!

    “Take the flowers back,” Ren Qian apparently also noticed the roses in Qu Mingnan’s hand. She pouted and smiled, “I didn’t expect to receive the first bouquet of flowers from you after we break up. But don’t you even know that I don’t like roses?”

    Qu Mingnan was suddenly very embarrassed, embarrassed in various senses.

    “Look at you, it’s been so many years. You don’t even know my hobbies,” Ren Qian shook her head, “…Forget it, go back and don’t come to me again.”

    Qu Mingnan always felt that Ren Qian Qian’s words sounded familiar. He thought about it carefully. Wasn’t this what he had said to Qin Suiyi in the hospital not long ago? Sure enough, there is always retribution.

    He was silent for a while, and then squeezed out a sentence: “I’m here to… learn.”

    “Learn?” Ren Qian smiled, obviously not convinced, “Don’t you always focus on your own style? Just want to go your own way?”

    Qu Mingnan paused. Before he could speak, Ren Qian continued: “Forget it. Since you want to stay in the crew to learn,  I have no position to say anything if Director Zhao agrees. But you should be clear about my attitude. I hope you can mind your own business.”

    Qu Mingnan couldn’t help clenching his fists. After a while, he nodded helplessly: “…mm.”

    After Ren Qian left, Qu Mingnan stood stunned in that position for a while before turning around and walking towards his goal today.

    Qin Suiyi was sitting in the corner watching the script. He seemed to be very focused. Qu Mingnan stood in front of him for a while, but he was unmoved as if he didn’t notice anyone coming.

    “Cough.” Qu Mingnan had to clear his throat to show his existence.

    After a while, Qin Suiyi raised his head and glanced at Qu Mingnan.

    Qu Mingnan thought about what to say for a long time, but when he opened his mouth, he still stuttered: “That…”

    “Director Qu, is something wrong?” Qin Suiyi smiled lightly.

    Qu Mingnan took a deep breath, then quickly shoved the rose into Qin Suiyi’s arms: “This is for you!” After the delivery, he looked around to see if anyone was paying attention to them.

    Qin Suiyi was stunned for a moment. He looked at the rose in his arms, and after a while, he asked, “Director Qu, what do you mean?”

    Qu Mingnan immediately said, “Don’t get me wrong! I’m just… I wanted to thank you for helping me pay for my medical bills last time.” As soon as he said that, he wanted to slap himself. He was finally able to give away the flowers, why couldn’t he keep his mouth shut?!

    Qin Suiyi paused and said with a smile: “That’s nothing. It was Director Qu who saved me first.”

    Qu Mingnan pursed his lips, but still confessed: “At that time, I just wanted to save my cat… “

    “Save your cat?” Qin Suiyi blinked and quickly came to his senses, “So that cat… So it’s like this. I didn’t expect Director Qu to be so sincere.”

    Qu Mingnan laughed dryly, wanting to scold himself for being so stupid!

    “Anyway, I didn’t plan to save you at that time. It was incidental to save you,” Qu Mingnan forced the topic to come back to the right track, “In order to thank you for helping me pay for my medical expenses, please accept this bouquet!”

    Qin Sui Yi smiled lightly: “So this bunch of flowers weren’t meant for Miss Ren Qian?”

    Qu Mingnan laughed dryly: “Of course not, we broke up.”

    Qin Suiyi: “So that’s how it is.”

    Qu Mingnan suddenly reacted: “Wait a minute. Did you think that I was going to give the flowers to Ren Qian, but Ren Qian refused, so I gave the flowers to you to forcibly show respect?”

    Qin Suiyi smiled innocently. He did not answer, but Qu Mingnan already knew the answer.

    “Humph!” Qu Mingnan suddenly felt an unnamed fire in his heart, he snatched the flower from Qin Suiyi’s arms, “Forget it! I’ll give it to the trash can and not give it to you!”

    After he finished speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for Qin Suiyi to react.

    Halfway through, he began to regret it. Qin Suiyi had already accepted it, why did he snatch the flowers back?!

    …Why can’t he control his mouth and hands?!

    He has to suffer for his face!

    “Didn’t you go to find Ren Qian just now?” Nan Sile, who was sitting in the corner, saw Qu Mingnan come back, and his eyes lit up, “Why haven’t the flowers been sent out? Were you embarrassed to speak?”

    Qu Mingnan sneered and shoved the flower into Nan Sile’s arms: “I’ll give it to you.”

    Nan Sile said angrily: “What are you doing! Rabbits don’t eat the grass around their burrows!” 1 Rabbits don’t eat the grass around their burrows : (兔子不吃窝边草) It is often quoted by people to exhort those who are opportunistic and unwilling to pay, or who take advantage of themselves regardless of friendship, to always pay attention to their words and deeds.

    “If you don’t want it, just throw it in the trash can, “Qu Mingnan retorted, “No one wants it anyway.”

    Nan Sile still accepted the bunch of flowers: “This flower is pretty, and there are water droplets on it. It’s so fresh, it’s a pity to lose it.”

    He suddenly thought of something and quickly checked through his pockets. After a long time, he sighed: “Nannan, did you bring a pen and paper?”

    “What do you want a pen and paper for?” Qu Mingnan asked casually, but still found a pen from his pocket, “…no paper, only my business card, okay?”

    “Business card? No other paper?” Nan Sile hesitated for a while. He reluctantly took the business card that Qu Mingnan handed over.

    Qu Mingnan rolled his eyes: “If you don’t want then forget it.” He snatched the business card back again.

    “I want it!” Nan Sile hurriedly gave Qu Mingnan a flattering smile, grabbed the business card, and turned around from Qu Mingnan, not showing him what he was writing.

    Qu Mingnan was originally not interested in what Nan Sile wanted to do, but when he saw Nan Sile’s sneaky appearance, he raised his eyebrows and immediately leaned over.

    “…What the hell is this?”

    Qu Mingnan asked with a frown as he watched Nan Sile write a string of words, like those written in a talisman, on the back of his business card.

    Nan Sile looked shy: “I love you in Italian! I’ve been practising for a long time! How is my writing?”
