Chapter 536: 517: Who is the person behind the scenes? (29)

Luo Qianqian hurried to the playground and saw that it was packed tightly with people, three layers deep both inside and outside. Most of them were girls who had dressed up carefully.

Sun Zhichao immediately spotted the petite figure bouncing around at the back of the crowd, clearly Luo Qianqian, and had the staff quietly take her aside. He opened the door of the van and let Luo Qianqian get in before asking, "Qianqian, what brings you here? You’re not here to chase stars, are you?"

Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes, "Chase who? Yhan Miyuan?" she asked in a weird tone, eyeing the script inside the car, and also feeling a pang of heartache, "Is Fourth Brother pushing himself too hard?"

"Filming will wrap up today." Sun Zhichao smiled and poured Luo Qianqian a cup of black tea, "We don’t have black tea here, but we do have cake. Want a piece?"

Luo Qianqian nodded, "Brother Chao, you’re also working hard; you started working before dawn."

Sun Zhichao sighed, "I’m okay, I did get some sleep. Ah Yuan only finished shooting at that other site after 2 AM and then rushed here to finish these scenes before his classes."

"How did the students find out? Even I didn’t know about it," Luo Qianqian pouted and smiled happily as Sun Zhichao brought her a small piece of cake.

"The original plan was just to have a few dozen students cooperate, but then it blew up..." Sun Zhichao sighed, "But the fact that you didn’t know, does that mean you’re being ostracized at school?"

Luo Qianqian nearly choked on her cake, "Brother Chao, Qin Nuan and I share the same dorm. How could I be ostracized?"

Sun Zhichao laughed, "I had forgotten about that." He hesitated for a moment and then looked through the glass towards the shooting site, "Shall I come over to pick you up for lunch?"

"Let’s not. Let him get some sleep. If love is long-lasting, what does it matter if we miss mornings and evenings together?" Luo Qianqian, enjoying her cake and tea, said casually, "Besides, he’s rushing work just to spend holidays and birthdays together. He won’t mind missing one meal, and it would only make Nuannuan sad to see him so worn out."

Sun Zhichao nodded and casually took out a separately wrapped piece of cake, "This is for Qin Nuan. Make sure to deliver it."

Luo Qianqian took the cake, looked left and right as if no more separately wrapped ones were left, and pouted, "Cut me another piece of cake. I haven’t had enough."

Sun Zhichao looked at Luo Qianqian speechlessly; although it was specially bought by Luo Yanran for her, he hadn’t intended for her to eat so much so early.

"Drink something hot; cake is cold. Ah Yuan doesn’t want you eating too much," Sun Zhichao firmly guarded the remaining cake.

"Hey, I knew I liked this flavor. It’s impressive that Fourth Brother even knew I would come," especially since if she had slept any longer, it would have been time for classes.

Mornings have a way of slipping by, one thinks of snoozing for just five minutes, and the next thing you know, two hours have passed.

"If you hadn’t come, we would have sent the cake to your dorm," Sun Zhichao said slowly, well aware of Ah Yuan’s doting on this little sister, "I’ll have it packed up and sent to your dorm in a bit."

"No." Luo Qianqian immediately refused, shaking her head repeatedly, which surprised Sun Zhichao a bit.

"Let me eat it now? I’m still hungry..." Luo Qianqian realized she had responded too quickly and too firmly, and quickly amended her statement.

The two were still going back and forth when suddenly, the car door was opened, and Luo Yanran got in, looking at Luo Qianqian, who was cajoling Sun Zhichao, and said somewhat exasperatedly, "What are you up to now?"

Luo Qianqian looked innocent, "I still want to eat cake."

"Cake is cold; you shouldn’t eat too much," Luo Yanran sat down tiredly on the side, "It’s not convenient for you to leave now, just go with me."

As soon as Luo Yanran finished speaking, the car started moving.

Luo Qianqian, with no objections, sat down quietly and looking at the dark circles under Luo Yanran’s eyes, furrowed her brow slightly, "Do you still have work?" looking towards Sun Zhichao.

Sun Zhichao shook his head.

Luo Qianqian nodded, "Then let’s go home and have a good sleep. Get rid of your dark circles before Nuannuan’s birthday."

Luo Yanran stretched out his hand and ruffled Luo Qianqian’s hair, his face showing fatigue, "Don’t worry, I’ll put the cake in the fridge for you, and we can eat it when I come back tonight."

Sun Zhichao, under Luo Qianqian’s pitiful gaze, sealed and packed the cake with a face that brooked no argument.

Luo Qianqian, looking at the piece of cake individually wrapped in her hand, pouted, "Brother, you don’t love me anymore."

"..." Luo Yanran didn’t want to speak.

Sun Zhichao looked at the small piece and then at the whole one, also speechless - isn’t this what they call making a mountain out of a molehill?

After the car had driven a good distance, Luo Qianqian had it stop, got out, and took a taxi back, making sure before she left to remind them repeatedly to take good care of her cake and not let it spoil.

Then, holding a small piece of cake, she took a taxi back to school.

Sun Zhichao looked at Luo Yanran’s dark circles and sighed heavily, "Where are we going?"

"To Grandpa’s house, there’s no one at home anyway," Luo Yanran replied, closing his eyes and soon began breathing evenly.

Luo Qianqian took a taxi back to school and just happened to run into Qin Nuan and Cong Rong coming out to buy breakfast.

Seeing her, both of them had faces full of surprise, clearly startled, "Why are you here?"

Luo Qianqian pouted, "Is that your reaction? Then I might as well eat this lovingly made cake by myself."

Qin Nuan was taken aback and immediately snatched it, but still looked puzzled, "Weren’t you still asleep?"

"I woke up to drink some water and found that you all were gone, so I got up," Luo Qianqian said with a face full of dissatisfaction, "It’s just because I often see you that it’s no surprise. What if it was my idol? Would you not call me then?"

Qin Nuan and Cong Rong exchanged glances, their faces helpless, "Even flipping your blanket and pinching your nose won’t wake you, what else can we do?"

Cong Rong also nodded continuously, "We were getting dressed, washing up, the whole floor was noisy, and you still didn’t wake up, there was nothing we could do about it."

Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes but was puzzled inwardly - was she really such a heavy sleeper?

"But I didn’t expect you to be the one to come out on top. We were just there to watch, and you were actually able to bring back a heartwarming cake," Cong Rong had always been a fan of Yhan Miyuan, and Luo Yanwu hadn’t hidden his relationship with Yhan Miyuan, naturally exposing the real identity of Qin Nuan’s boyfriend as well.

This time the visit wasn’t as a fan watching an idol, but as a best friend viewing her best friend’s boyfriend.

Cong Rong could hardly believe that her idol had been dating Qin Nuan, who she had lived with for a year, and he was also Luo Qianqian’s brother - she couldn’t recall how many times she had been astonished that morning.

She kept marveling at the Luo family blessed by the Creator, each one of them so good-looking.

Qin Nuan pursed her lips, "That’s because you haven’t seen the young photos of Old Master Luo. Compared to Luo Yanran that’s simply no comparison. Luo Yanran falls far short. Otherwise, how could such good looks last even after three generations?"
