My Cat And I Both Like You

Chapter 24

Qu Mingnan understood Nan Sile’s intention almost instantly. He glanced at Nan Sile with a sarcastic smile: “It’s a good trick to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha.” 1 to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha : (借花獻佛) to give something that one has received (as a gift, favor, etc.) to someone else.

Nan Sile smiled, not embarrassed at all: “Anyway, you have already given these flowers to me, and what I do with them is my freedom. You know, I’m very poor recently.”

Qu Mingnan was too lazy to complain about Nan Sile, he just wanted to find a place to calm down and think about how to proceed.

So Qu Mingnan found a corner and squatted down, and began to observe Qin Suiyi secretly.

It has to be said that Qin Suiyi is a very dedicated actor. Generally, young actors like him have more or less news about being irresponsible and playing big names. There are many people looking for substitutes. But in his impression, Qin Suiyi seems to have never had such news. According to his observations in the past few days, Qin Suiyi had personally appeared in every scene. Even if it was a dangerous scene, he would do everything himself.

Qin Suiyi not only did not play big names but also arrived on the set very early every time, even earlier than some staff members. After arriving on the set, he would find a corner and sit down to read the script, not just cramming, but pondering over and over again.

All of these made Qu Mingnan’s view of Qin Suiyi change a little. But despite this, he still couldn’t fill his favorability for Qin Suiyi all at once. No matter what, he was also a straight man… As for whether Qin Suiyi was a straight man or not, he was not fully sure yet.

Perhaps Qu Mingnan’s gaze was too hot and direct. Qin Suiyi, who was immersed in reading the script, suddenly raised his head and looked toward him.

Qu Mingnan hurriedly turned his head and pretended to look around at the scenery. After watching the scenery for a while, he suddenly felt that it was not right! Why did he turn his head just now? He should continue to look at Qin Suiyi and conquer Qin Suiyi with his eyes!

However, when Qu Mingnan turned his head again, Qin Suiyi had already put down the script, tidied up his clothes, and went to film.

Qu Mingnan: “…”

During the next filming, although Qu Mingnan tried his best to focus on Director Zhao, he couldn’t help but occasionally get distracted by Qin Suiyi’s performance. There seems to be an inexplicable magic power between his every gesture, and one can’t help but stare at him.

It was not until Director Zhao called to stop that Qu Mingnan came back to his senses in a trance, like waking up from a big dream.

It was noon break time, and the staff began to distribute the lunch boxes. The heroine didn’t ask for the lunch box provided by the staff and got into her nanny van with her manager. As the male protagonist, Qin Suiyi stayed behind, not only taking over the box lunch handed over by the staff but also very groundedly found a corner to sit down and eat like everyone else.

Qu Mingnan was still hesitating whether to go up and talk to Qin Suiyi. But after he hesitated for a while, the two seats next to Qin Suiyi were occupied by others – Eric sat next to Qin Suiyi as a matter of course as if that position should have belonged to him. Ren Qian asked Qin Suiyi with a slightly uneasy and a little shy smile, and only after she got Qin Suiyi’s approval, she carefully sat down beside him.

Qu Mingnan was immediately embarrassed. Eric, who was suspected to be Qin Suiyi’s boyfriend, was fine, and even Ren Qian joined in the fun now. Is he going to hook up with a man in front of his ex-girlfriend?

Just when he was backing down in his heart, Nan Sile hooked Qu Mingnan’s shoulder: “Now is the time for you to stand up for your brother’s lifelong happiness!”

Qu Mingnan was stunned: “Ah?”

“I want to chat with my Eric, and send the flowers out by the way,” Nan Sile gestured to Qu Mingnan with his eyes, “but there are too many light bulbs over there.”

Qu Mingnan raised his eyebrows: “Then what do you want?”

“Hey, can you help me get rid of Ren Qian and Qin Suiyi?” Nan Sile said.

Qu Mingnan looked at Qin Suiyi and Ren Qian subconsciously, and asked absently, “Then you can help me find a reason to separate them both at the same time.”

Nan Sile thought for a while and decided to take a step back: “Otherwise, you can help me separate Ren Qian, and I will find a way to separate Qin Suiyi. Then I can be alone with Eric.”

Qu Mingnan hadn’t figured out how to face Ren Qian naturally. He wanted to reject Nan Sile. But then he thought about it, if Nan Sile could take Qin Suiyi away from Eric, maybe he would have the opportunity to talk to Qin Suiyi, he hesitated for a while, then nodded in agreement.

The two clapped their hands tacitly, and then Qu Mingnan walked towards Qin Suiyi.

The three of them chatted while eating, and the atmosphere seemed to be good until Qu Mingnan suddenly appeared.

Suddenly being stared at by three pairs of eyes at the same time, Qu Mingnan was under a lot of pressure in an instant, but he still bit the bullet and said the lines he had just brewed: “Ren Qian, I have something to say to you.”

Ren Qian paused: “What?”

Qu Mingnan was frozen by Ren Qian’s tone, but he still continued: “Can we find a place to talk in private?”

Ren Qian’s expression seemed unhappy. Probably because there were still outsiders present there, she nodded and stood up with the lunch box in her hand.

Qu Mingnan glanced at Qin Suiyi quietly, but found that Qin Suiyi had lowered his head and continued to eat. Everything was as usual, but Eric’s inquiring eyes were rather filled with gossip. After noticing his gaze, he blinked at him and smiled.

He quickly retracted his gaze and led Ren Qian forward a little.

“Is something wrong?” Ren Qian asked.

Qu Mingnan: “Uh…”

Ren Qian smiled: “I’ll go back if there’s nothing.”

Qu Mingnan saw Nan Sile walking towards Eric out of the corner of his eye, and quickly said, “It’s actually like this. I suddenly remembered, I forgot to tell you… Beibei has returned.”

Ren Qian said lightly, “Oh.”

Qu Mingnan thought that Ren Qian would be very happy. When he saw Ren Qian’s indifferent reaction, he paused and suddenly didn’t know what to say.

“So what?” Ren Qian smiled, “Are you going to use Beibei to repair our relationship? Use taking care of Beibei as an excuse to let me come to your house from time to time? Or return Beibei to me, and then you come from time to time to visit Beibei?”

Qu Mingnan suddenly felt a little helpless: “No…”

Ren Qian sighed: “You don’t seem to give up. So let me tell you the truth, we broke up not because of anything else, but because we are no longer from the same world… Don’t you think the gap between us is getting bigger and bigger?”

Qu Mingnan was stunned and silent.

“In the past, we were all small people in this circle. No one knew who we were and no one cared about us. At that time, you and I talked about dreams. It felt very beautiful, and I really liked you at that time,” Ren Qian said with a sigh, “But now I have moved forward, and you are still standing still, firmly believing in your ‘dream’, unwilling to make any changes for reality. You will always stay in the circle you drew for yourself. You don’t know how the outside world is changing, do you admit it? The gap between us is getting bigger and bigger.”

Qu Mingnan fell into silence, in fact, he was well aware of this matter.

“You must think that I have changed, but Qu Mingnan, you have also changed,” Ren Qian smiled, “In the past, you only wanted to make movies and art films, but now you are making all kinds of crap. Do you think it’s useful to use the way of filming in the past to make current TV series? Those are outdated! Do you think you are an avant-garde? Go online and search what others say about you!”

Qu Mingnan couldn’t help but say “You can attack me, but you can’t attack my pursuit. At least in the pursuit of movies, I have never changed.”

Ren Qian shook her head: “You can make movies now? Don’t be kidding! I don’t want to say such heavy words either, but if that’s how you’ll give up, I won’t hesitate to say these words, so… please don’t come to me again, it’s not good for both of us .”

Qu Mingnan was depressed in his heart. In a hurry, he blurted out: “You really misunderstood! I didn’t come to find you to get back together! I don’t have that idea at all!”

Ren Qian smiled sarcastically: “Oh, who did you come looking for?”

“I’m looking for Qin Suiyi!” Qu Mingnan simply broke the jar, “I fell in love with him at first sight! I like him! I want to chase him!”
