The Supporting Male Character Just Wants to Be a Tool Man Chapter 166

He and Shen Qingshu haven't seen each other for a week. Now that they finally saw each other, it was inevitable that they would become intimate.

Shen Qingshu looks at him and asks him, “Do you want to see a movie? I'll treat you to watch a movie.”

“OK.” Han Cheng didn't refuse. “I just saw you being praised for being handsome on the Internet, but I haven't personally seen how handsome you are.”

Shen Qingshu laughed and said, “What haven't you seen before? You obviously visited so many shifts when filming, didn't you see all the costumes and styles?”

“That's different.”

Han Cheng also laughed and said, “I can see you every day, which doesn't prevent me from wanting to see you on the screen every opportunity.”

Shen Qingshu listened to what he said, and the corners of his lips couldn't stop rising. “Let's go to see it tomorrow, my treat.”

“Great,” Han Cheng agreed.

The two enjoyed a hot pot meal and walked back contentedly.

The next morning, Shen Qingshu had a rare chance to sleep until he woke up naturally. He rubbed in Han Cheng's arms, wrapped himself in a quilt, and hugged him not wanting to get up.

Seeing that he was acting like the kitten, Han Cheng laughed and teased him for a while, but did not urge him.

“It seems you've been exhausted these days,” he said.

Shen Qingshu nodded coquettishly, “En, I'm tired of flying every day.”

“Our QingQing has suffered.”

“But that's okay,” Shen Qingshu said with a smile. “At least the response and box office are good.”

“Happy?”

Shen Qingshu nodded, “As long as you get good results, it's worth the hard work.”

He then said privately, “I hope Ephemera can also get a good result.”

“Yes,” Han Cheng touched his face.

Shen Qingshu pressed into his hand, pulled away, stretched, and sat up slowly.

“Let's go.” He looked at Han Cheng. “It's time to go to the movies.”

“Alright.”

Two people got up, ate a sandwich to pad their stomachs, and drove to the shopping centre.

There was still some time before the movie started, so Han Cheng didn't rush. He took Shen Qingshu to a private restaurant he booked in advance.

The soup here is very famous. Han Cheng has ordered several kinds of flavours in succession, so Shen Qingshu can see which he likes.

Shen Qingshu tasted them one by one, and felt that each had its own delicacies, so he didn't eat much food, and mostly filled himself with soup.

“Delicious.” His eyes were bright. “How is this made? Can we cook it ourselves at home?”

“It's difficult,” Han Cheng said. “But if you like it, they can deliver it to you every day.”

“Really?” Shen Qingshu asked happily.

“Of course. I can hire the cook back for you if you want.”

“Well, let's forget it.” Shen Qingshu said with a sparse smile, “They still have to open a shop, so let's let the cooks stay here.”

He lowered his head and drank another spoonful. He felt that he was warm all over. In winter, it was most suitable to drink warm soup.

Seeing that he liked it, Han Cheng felt happier and stared at him intently.

“Why are you looking at me?” Shen Qingshu raised his eyelids to look at him.

“Of course because of your good looks.” Han Cheng laughed.

Shen Qingshu thinks he is a really smooth talker. He spooned some soup and fed it to Han Cheng. “Ah.”

Han Cheng lowered his head and opened his mouth for the spoon, but he kept staring at him.

“Not bad,” he said.

“Thanks to me.”

Han Cheng smiled. “I meant, you're not bad.”

Shen Qingshu laughed and said, “Silver tongue.”

“This is sweet talk,” Han Cheng corrected.

Shen Qingshu smiled, looked up at him, and drank a few more mouthfuls of his sweet talk. Finally, he was full.

He sat in the private room for a while, and waited until the film was about to begin before he stood up with Han Cheng and walked to the upstairs cinema.

The two got their tickets together, and Han Cheng bought Coke and popcorn on the way.

He handed Shen Qingshu the coke and popcorn to cover his face that was already covered by a scarf and glasses. They checked the ticket together before walking in.

“I'll take you to a special movie theatre when your movie is released later.” Han Cheng approached his ear and said.

“What cinema?”

“It's opened by someone I know. When the time comes, I'll reserve the whole cinema for you, so you don't have to watch in disguise.”

Shen Qingshu hid behind the popcorn and smiled, “Okay. sounds fun”

Han Cheng rubbed his hair and said, “Naturally. You are not the main character in this movie, so it's not as momentous. When Ephemera is released, I'll book the entire cinema, starting from 12, every theatre room, at every time slot.”

Shen Qingshu: … You're being too much! 

“No need.” He smiled, “I just want everyone who watches it to enjoy it. Even if not many people watch it,  I hope they genuinely like it after watching it. That's enough. I don't need you to specially reserve an entire cinema for me.”

“My like is also sincere.” Han Cheng said with a smile.

Shen Qingshu looked at him, “So you just need to like me, you don't have to do so much.”

He smiled, his eyebrows turning crescent, “Originally, I only wanted you to like me.”

Hearing his words Han Cheng couldn't help hugging him.

Shen Qingshu noticed that they were still outside, and hurriedly reminded him, “Let's go in before hugging, once we're inside you can hug me again.”

“Okay.” Han Cheng then let go and went into the theatre with him.

They had booked couples seats.1  In the empty hall, Shen Qingshu chose a place that he liked and sat down.

Han Cheng sat down next to him and waited with him for the movie to begin.

In fact, he was curious about Shen Qingshu's performance in this movie. After all, everyone said that he played very well and was very handsome. Feeling proud, he wanted to see the Luo Yi who was like the embodiment of light.

Soon, the dragon sign2  of the film appeared, and the film officially began.

Shen Qingshu is watching this movie for the second time, which felt different from his nervousness about his unknown performance when watching it with the cast members at the premiere ceremony. This time, he is obviously very comfortable, leaning against Han Cheng, eating popcorn and feeding Han Cheng from time to time.

Hardly had he finished feeding when Han Cheng bit his hand.

Shen Qingshu was helpless and said, “Watch the movie properly.”

“Then why are you distracting me?” Han Cheng loosened his teeth.

“I care about you,” Shen Qingshu said. “When there is something delicious, I won't forget you.”

Han Cheng smiled and saw Shen Qingshu on the screen.

He was wearing a white sweater and blue jeans. The sun glistened over his hair, illuminating it a soft brown. He waved to Meng Zhi and said happily, “This way, Master.”

Han Cheng sneered instantly, “Tut, Meng Zhi doesn't look good at ordinary times, but he looks even uglier when he is filmed.”

Shen Qingshu: … That's a famous handsome guy, okay?!

Han Cheng obviously didn't think so, and he still commented with relish: “Especially when standing with you, good guy. I don't know if I don't compare, but I'm startled by the comparison, the comparison is too cruel, I can't bear to look at him.”

Shen Qingshu could hardly laugh or cry. “How much vinegar was in the soup you drank this afternoon? To make you so sour?”

“I'm sour?” Han Cheng disdained, “Am I sour over the fact that he's ugly and no one loves him?”

Shen Qingshu shook his head. He thinks he is really childish for still bearing grudges after 800 years.

In front of Meng Zhi, he insisted on holding hands with him before. Now he insists on saying that he is ugly, just because Meng Zhi liked him before, he is still jealous till now.

“When you met recently, you didn't say anything ambiguous, did you?” Han Cheng lowered his head and asked.

“And you say you're not feeling sour?” Shen Qingshu raised his hand and waved in front of his nose, “It's full of the smell of vinegar.”

“I'm just afraid that one mistake will lead to everlasting hatred!”

“What are you thinking?” Shen Qingshu leaned into his arms, “You are so handsome, it's impossible to speak inappropriately with others? Right?”

Han Cheng was finally satisfied and continued to watch the film.

The rhythm of the film is very good. After a while, his attention drifted away from talking with Shen Qingshu and concentrated on watching it. When he saw the scene of Luo Yi being killed, Han Cheng was shocked.

He waited for a long time, but he still couldn't stop feeling distressed. His eyes were a little sore and he hugged Shen Qingshu tightly.

Shen Qingshu patted his hand, held it in his hand, and comforted him, “It's all right. He will be caught later.”

But Luo Yi can't come back to life, Han Cheng thought. His time is fixed at this moment forever.

He seemed to finally understand why the film was called “Plundering Time” – every dead person's time was ruthlessly plundered, while the happy time of the living people was ruthlessly taken away.

Han Cheng sighed and continued to watch the film.

It was not until the end of the film when Meng Zhi as Li Haiyang arrested the culprit that Han Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He watched the film end slowly and felt that it was really a good film. Even if he did not like Meng Zhi, he must admit that Meng Zhi acted well. With a sense of complexity and explosiveness, he could easily mobilise other people's emotions.

However, he still prefers Luo Yi.

Who wouldn't like Luo Yi?

A clever boy who can never be forgotten, and a pure boy who has no scheming, he always wears a white shirt, but ends up lying in a pool of blood.

It rained heavily outside the window, as if the world cried for him.

Han Cheng sighed, “It's a good performance.”

He said to Shen Qingshu, “You are a good actor.”

Shen Qingshu listened to his praise and couldn't stop rejoicing. “Do you think my performance is good, too?”

“Of course, does anyone think you did not perform well?”

“There are. My black fans definitely think I didn't perform well.”

Han Cheng sneered, “Don't pay attention to those who are blind. People that are well shouldn't argue with blind people.”

Shen Qingshu instantly laughed and thought that he was obviously being partial.

However, it is natural for his boyfriend to be partial to him.

He looked at Han Cheng and said in a shy voice, “Zhou ge told me that maybe I can win a prize for this role.”

“Best supporting male?”

Shen Qingshu shook his head and said, “The best newcomer, the best supporting male is Hou ge, so I probably won't be able to get it.”

“That's not necessarily true.” Han Cheng is simply his boyfriend fan combined with his father fan. “I think you acted very well, much better than him.”

“You have a filter for me. How can I be as good as him?”

“You have to believe in yourself.” Han Cheng immediately spoke up, “I think you are more natural, more empathetic and distressing than he is. Aren't I right? Maybe the judges will also think so?”

Shen Qingshu slowly smiled. Although he knew that he was not as good as Hou Chaorui, he couldn't help being happy when Han Cheng said so.

He reached out and hugged Han Cheng, rubbing against his side face.”Actually, I also secretly thought about whether I would win best supporting male actor, but I didn't think it was possible, so I didn't have the nerve to think about it.”

“Hey,” Han Cheng hugged him. “What is this? Where is that true? You still have Su Qing. Let me say, you should believe that you can win the best male actor. This is what you should aim for.”

Shen Qingshu: ! ! !

You're thinking too much okay!

You are too audacious!

Shen Qingshu doesn't think he can aim for the best male lead. He would have to contend with Meng Zhi. He has only made two films. and it was his first time to be the lead. How could he fight with Meng Zhi?!

“Let's forget about it. That would simple be a dream, who is so extraordinary?”

“Fear not.” Han Cheng looked at him, “I support you, I will give you the call!”*

*in english

Shen Qingshu listened to his words and unconsciously laughed.

In fact, he doesn't have that big ambition to win the best male lead in the film awards ceremony, but this kind of unconditional support and trust from the other party always makes him very happy.

Shen Qingshu approaches him, kisses him on the face, and then stands up.

“Let's go, let's go. It's time to go home.”

He smiled and pulled Han Cheng up, his heart full of tenderness.
