Chapter 182: Chapter 179: It’s All My Fault (Please Vote)

"Actually, it’s nothing. Don’t argue with your mom, your mom is pretty good to you." Qi Hao advised.

It’s just that his words seemed a bit patronizing.

It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t be arguing with your mom.

Don’t blame her, it’s all my fault.

It’s okay, I don’t mind if your mom scolds me, I can take it.

Blame it on me for being too stupid, I can explain for you. If your mom wants to blame someone, let it be me.

Such a good girl, how does she not know to cherish you?

"We can’t really argue, she tends to sulk more, and when it gets worse, she hides and cries secretly."

An Feng doesn’t have a fiery temper, and her mom is more of a gentle person.

So, it’s mostly a cold war between them.

"As an outsider, I can’t give any effective advice. You have to handle it yourself. I argue a lot with my mom, but mostly with my dad, who used to see me as a disappointment in every way."

Qi Hao chatted casually with An Feng.

He had been observing An Feng before, first to see if he still liked this girl, and second to see if she was obsessively in love with him, wanting to chase him.

In the end, he couldn’t see anything, and his eyes were a bit tired.

"Ah, I’ve heard about it. You ran away after graduating from junior high, was that when you were sixteen?"

It’s another common point between An Feng and Qi Hao.

Both of them started their careers at a relatively young age.

"About right, but I have a lot of knowledge stored up, definitely better than a junior high student."

Adamantly not admitting he’s a junior high student.

"Have you reconciled with your dad now?"

An Feng didn’t know if this was taboo, but if they didn’t talk about it, there seemed to be nothing else to discuss.

"We reconciled a long time ago. The economic foundation dictates the superstructure. Now that I’m so much better than him, he doesn’t use his knowledge and life experience to educate me anymore."

According to Mr. Qi, he just muddled through life this way.

As long as his son didn’t go astray before eighteen—though he did go a bit astray—after the son turned eighteen, his life experience became a constraint on the son’s growth.

His expectations for Qi Hao were simple: don’t break the law.

"Your dad’s really good!"

An Feng envied Qi Hao, but she also knew she didn’t have the ability to be independent at eighteen.

If her mom really didn’t care about her, she would actually feel insecure.

Now that she’s 22, she needs her own decision-making power and needs to take charge of her own life.

"The key is to see for yourself..."

Qi Hao felt like he was a bad influence on the girl.

Constantly urging her to rebel against her family’s control, pursue personal freedom, freedom in love, and freedom in marriage.

Ideally, she could elope with someone with the surname Qi.

"My mom’s actually okay, she’s changed a lot lately."

An Feng felt her mom also had it rough when they argue.

Both soon finished eating.

After all, they’re celebrities, no matter how carefree, they can’t eat until they’re stuffed.

"Are you going back for a nap?" Qi Hao asked.

Seize the day for rest, and still sleep at night.

"No need, I’ve slept for two days!" An Feng shook her head, "It’s rare for me to be out, is there anywhere fun to go?"

"I have a party tonight, do you want to join?"

Qi Hao thought about it, he actually didn’t have many fun places to go.

He couldn’t just say directly, I have something called virginity, just like Old Tian said, it’s worth nothing, do you want it? If you do, I can give it to you.

But I’m not sure if I like you now.

That would indeed make him a scumbag.

Other than that, the evening party sounded a bit interesting.

They could drink, sing karaoke, play games.

It’s not that the capital is too shabby, it’s that these celebrities are too restricted, and Qi Hao temporarily doesn’t want people photographing him and An Feng together.

He’s already mentally prepared.

If it were a busy place where they might be photographed, he would reluctantly take hold of An Feng, then his low-profile hat could play its mystical role, so others wouldn’t notice them.

"Who’s there?" An Feng couldn’t attend just any party.

Especially in the entertainment circle, all sorts of things without limits could happen, she needed to report to her mom.

"Wang Baoqiang, Wu Jing, then Gao Yuanyuan, Song Jia, Wan Qian, Qin Hailu, and probably others..."

The initiator of this time is not Qi Hao, so he wasn’t clear on who exactly would attend.

At most, it was group chat content, seeing who bubbled up saying they’d go.

"Sounds like it’s your ex-girlfriend’s party."

An Feng lazily said.

"How can that be," Qi Hao immediately denied, "We’ve been having this party for a long time..."

Back then, there was the capital circle, the north-west circle, and the Hong Kong circle.

Qi Hao’s background was low, with almost no resources, even if Zhang Guoli and Chen Daoming from his hometown still somewhat respected him, he couldn’t fit into any high-end circles.

Unless he bent low and acted as a sycophant.

Yeah, or act as a little wolfdog serving so-called male and female bigwigs.

Qi Hao absolutely gave up the idea of integrating into those circles.

Instead focused on his small circle.

Unfortunately, the ideals were rich, the reality was stark.

He did have his small circle, but compared with those capital circles, north-west circles, and Hong Kong circles, it wasn’t even on the same level.

One could even say it wasn’t the same kind of thing at all.

Those were interest-related, watching each other’s backs, occasionally doing things together.

And his little circle is all about eating, drinking, and having fun.

At most, they can introduce some resources to each other.

As long as everyone is having a good time, the most important thing is that there aren’t any dirty dealings like in other circles.

Seven In and Seven Out: Who the hell changed the group name, who the hell changed my group nickname.

Don’t Forget to Watch "Wolf Fang": It must be Baoqiang who changed it!

Wang Baobao: Old Tian’s Secret Garden? It definitely wasn’t me who changed it, I’m not that bored.

Mr. Zhou Xun: Who says I’m bored?

This kind of bully, Qi Hao can’t afford to offend, so he had to change the group name and his nickname back.

Changed the group name to "Young Men and Women of the Entertainment Circle."

Changed the group nickname to "Who’s Not Seen ’Steel Piano’ Yet."

Who’s Not Seen ’Steel Piano’ Yet: I’ll bring a friend later, if there are many people today, we’ll switch to a big package.

Don’t Forget to Watch "Wolf Fang": Don’t worry, it’s been arranged long ago.

Who’s Not Seen ’Steel Piano’ Yet: Your "Wolf Fang" went off-screen a long time ago, can you stop stealing my business.

Don’t Forget to Watch "Wolf Fang": I’ll change the name once my next movie is released.

Who’s Not Seen ’Steel Piano’ Yet: I’m adding someone to the group, does anyone have objections?

Mr. Zhou Xun: Who are you adding?

Wang Baobao: No objections, who are you adding?

Who’s Not Seen ’Steel Piano’ Yet: An Feng, I’ll bring her over to play later, Mr. Zhou said last time to bring An Feng over, so I’m obediently doing that now?

Mr. Zhou Xun: Tsk tsk.

The group soon showed Qi Hao inviting An Feng to join the chat.

An Feng: Hello everyone.

Mr. Zhou Xun: You’re using your real name as your username?

An Feng: Ah, then I’ll think of a username.

The style in the group instantly returned to normal, and no one questioned Qi Hao.

Qi Hao and his friends’ gatherings allow inviting others to join.

As long as there aren’t enemies at the gatherings, everyone can sing and have fun together.

But adding someone to the group is much stricter.

Like last time, Li Qin, Yang Zimo, Zhao Liying, who had attended the gathering and even guest-starred in Qi Hao’s new film "Lost on Journey," still weren’t invited to the group.

It’s not because they have any problems.

Adding someone to the group means you’re vouching for them.

Once they’re unable to fit in the group and can’t get along with others, you’ll have to advise them to leave or directly kick them out.

No one would go out of their way to do such a thing.

"What should I call my username?" An Feng greeted everyone and chatted briefly.

She’s a bit clumsy at typing and doesn’t quite understand QQ’s functions.

She’s thought a lot about the username but decided to seek Qi Hao’s opinion.

Actually, calling herself An Feng is no issue.

Because no one truly believes she’s An Feng.

In the online competition to mimic An Feng, she came in last place.

So many people look more like An Feng than she does, using her stills as their QQ avatar, while An Feng’s avatar is a dog.

Her QQ space, QQ music, etc., are not activated.

Those who imitate her even write logs about her in their space.

"Anything goes, actually calling yourself An Feng is no problem at all."

Qi Hao finds her a bit lacking in decisiveness, needing to ask for opinions on even a name.

"Is your username the same as your group nickname, what do you call yourself?"

An Feng wants to use Qi Hao’s username as a reference.

"Uh... I’m ’Mountain Full of Monkey Butts, I’m the Most Famous.’" Qi Hao has no intention of changing names.

"Then I’ll think of one myself."

An Feng finds it hard to accept Qi Hao’s style; he suddenly seems quite unfamiliar.

"The gathering is at six in the evening, but they often show up late; if everyone’s there by six-thirty, that’s already good, so should we watch a movie next."

That’s how books write it.

Going out with a girl is about flirting, dining, watching movies, renting rooms...

Of course, the last one is a bit premature.

An Feng is a proper girl, and Qi Hao generally behaves properly too.

The most important thing is, Qi Hao needs to determine his feelings for An Feng and make a move when it’s clearer.

Better to get a sense of things before acting and then realizing he doesn’t like her as much anymore.

Otherwise, if An Feng clings to him desperately not wanting to break up, it’ll be troublesome.

"Sure, what’s a good movie recently?"

An Feng naturally doesn’t have any objections.

"A movie called ’Steel Piano’ is pretty good, want to watch it?"

Qi Hao never misses an opportunity to promote his film.

"I watched it with my mom when it first premiered; it’s really well made, and my mom was quite touched."

An Feng speaks truthfully; otherwise, she’d have to watch it again.

"Anything you want to watch?"

Qi Hao doesn’t mind taking An Feng to see it again.

"How about ’Marigold’?" An Feng thought for a moment.

"That’s an animation, dubbed by Zhou Libo, whom I quite dislike." Qi Hao quickly opposes the idea.

Old Tian said, being genuine is key while interacting with girls.

Like is like, dislike is dislike; no need to accommodate others and be a pushover.
