Chapter 23 Part 2

Moreover, many rumor said that her husband dotes on her like she is a little princess.

At night, Bei Er Duo couldn’t hold back her curiosity. She called Ye Shu Wei and asked him whether he knows Bei Shu Ye or not.

“It’s so coincident, I am not only know her, we also had ever take a bath together.” Ye Shu Wei answered.

“……” Bei Er Duo really didn’t have a way to regard him as the third party of a relationship. She trusts his personality.

“That time I was five years old, and she was three. There was only one auntie that would help us to take bath together.” He made an additional remark.

“…….”

“Er Duo, she is my younger cousin.”

The information volume was too great. Bei Er Duo needed time to process it……

Bei Shu Ye…….. is the cousin that Ye Shu Wei mentioned in the past? Ye Shu Wei seemed to have ever said, that in the past he had ever take his cousin to play bumper car.

That time she also asked him, whether his cousin was pretty or not, he said that he didn’t remember it?

It’s clearly that she is a beautiful woman.

His appreciation of beauty is really unruly.

“What are you thinking?” He asked to know about her feeling.

“I am not expected it. Bei Shu Ye and you are relatives. How could you never mentioned it before to me? I mean she is a famous one. Majority people would show off if they have famous cousins.”

“She is just my cousin. Regarding the issue whether she is famous or not, it’s unrelated to me.”

“Since she is a professional singer. If you want to listen to the song you could look for her. Why should you utilize me, this amateur?”

“She would have concert soon. Except for the work, she wouldn’t use her voice to sing.”

“……..” Okay. Her voice is really expensive.

“The point is I also don’t want to listen to her singing love song.

“Em? What are you saying?” Bei Er Duo couldn’t hear it clearly.

“Nothing.” He said, “I mean. To listen her voice, I need to buy ticket. I don’t want to waste my money on pointless expense. To listen to you, it would be free. Moreover I don’t need to be squeeze and crammed in among people. It is better choice.”

“………..”

Could he say anything more harsh?

“Tomorrow eight o’clock. I would take my car to your house. Let’s go practice for a while.” He said it, then said goodbye. He hung up the phone.

Bei Er Duo just responded. They would go on the “date” for the second trailer shoot.

But the time seemed to be quite late, where would they go.

It was all so mysterious.

Wait until eight thirty four, Bei Er Duo and Ye Shu Wei sat down on the swaying private little boat. They went boating on the lake. She was trembling and hugged her knees, she couldn’t help but to sneeze. She looked at the person in front of her, who was also wearing a thin clothes.

“Drape it on your shoulder.” Ye Shu Wei passed her a deep grey knitted jacket.

“Yours?” Bei Er Duo took it, it was too big.

“Em, wear it.” The temperature at night wouldn’t be a problem for him, but he guessed that she would be cold so he brought it.

“How could you don’t tell me that we will come here, if I know I would bring more clothes.” She said it then wore the clothes.

“If I said it then it wouldn’t be a surprise.” He gazed at her. “Isn’t it?”

Bei Er Duo looked at him helplessly. 

“Although it is too big, but it’s so warm. Oh right, you are not cold?”

“No.” He poured a cup of almond-flavor tea, then passed it to her lips.

Because the sleeves were too long for her, so she couldn’t hold it. That’s why Bei Er Duo accepted that Ye Shu Wei poured the tea to her mouth.

“Are you warm now?” He put down the glass.

“Em.” She looked forward then noticed there was only a dim light in the boat.

“Do you have anything to eat?” 

Ye Shu Wei took out a box of biscuit from his back then placed it on the table. He opened it, it was full of various Chinese style pastries: “Which one do you one to eat?”

“Mung bean pastry.”

He took the mung bean pastry then fed her. After she finished it, then she wanted to eat the red bean one, Ye Shu Wei took it and fed her again. Then next one lotus cake, yam roll, lotus flaky pastry, butter rice cake…. she ate it all. Then she said stop.

Ye Shu Wei took a tissue and wiped her lips: “Are you full?”

“Em.” Bei Er Duo couldn’t hel but feel puzzle. These pastries seemed to be not complimentary item. It was delicious and fresh seemed to be well-prepared.

“Then let’s start to do serious stuff.” He closed the box then put it on his back, he didn’t want her focus to stop on the food.

“Okay.” Bei Er Duo nodded.

“Try to call my name.” His face showed his common cold expression.

“Shu Wei.”

“Just like that? These days haven’t you practiced?”

Under his query, she tried it one more time. This time was more intimate and gentle, it sounded a bit clingy.

“This is quite good.” He looked at her, “Then it’s my turn to call your nickname.”

“Wait, Ye Shu Wei. No, Shu Wei. You can just call me Er Duo, please don’t you add any word.”

“O? Why?”

“It’s too corny.” She said it direcly.”

“The corniness between couple is a normal thing.”

“But could we do it step by step? This temporary moment I couldn’t accept this.” Actually she was afraid that on this narrow space, they were close. The time he called her name intimately, it would provoke her imagination wildly.

Ye Shu Wei considered it, then agreed: “Er Duo.”

“….Em.” It just a simple calling but his way of saying it was different with anyone. It was too charming.

“Say that you like me.”

“A?!” Bei Er Duo was startled. This arrangement was not what she expected.

Ye Shu Wei’s hand held a glass, “This would be the acceptable sentence among couple. We couldn’t avoid it. Yu Sheng already said that in the second shoot, they would ask us to say this words to express our feeling. So we need to practice for a while to prevent the trouble happen later on.”

“Is it?” Bei Er Duo’s heartbeat was beating erratically. She didn’t expect this would happen in the second photoshoot.

She needs to publicly confess to Ye Shu Wei?

“Em, if you don’t believe me you could ask him.” In anyway the final right to interpret for long time is not in the Yu Sheng’s hand.

“Since you said it then it would be true.” Bei Er Duo was twisted for a while, then said candidly: “But I seem to be unable to say this sentence.”

Ye Shu Wei’s eyes were bright before, when he heard this, his eyes turned so cold.

“Why? You couldn’t say something that untrue to your conviction?” He took the teapot and poured another one for himself. He said it calmly.

No, but she was not dare to say her inner heart out….. Bei Er Duo could just said it silently.

“Even you couldn’t, you should say it. This is not up to you.” Looking at her tacit approval, he said: “We are in the contract, we need to cooperate.”

“……..”

“I will give you a minute to prepare.” He extended his hand to pull back her suspended sleeve, then put it on the table: “Then, say you like me.”

“….. If I really couldn’t say it?”

His gaze toward the far dark lake, then said: “Then tonight you wouldn’t return to the shore.”

“………………”
