Chapter 40 - TTFSO Chapter 40

When Tang Er Yuan arrived, Tang San Yuan was in the middle of filming. Li Xin Ran was staring at the camera with a serious face, looking serious and cautious. As this film was his heart and soul for many years, he was filming very seriously.

Tang Er Yuan didn’t bother them and stood by, silently watching.

The actor who is working with Tang San Yuan is a newcomer from the modelling industry. He is tall and has a long, angular face but his acting skills are a bit poor. Fortunately, he is not required to be too skilled in this film, as long as he can complement Tang San Yuan since the whole film is based on the growth of Tang San Yuan’s character.

Although Tang San Yuan is a singer from a group, he is very talented in acting and almost always passes in one take.

After watching for a while, Tang Er Yuan’s eyes couldn’t help but glance from side to side. He looked around, and didn’t see Li Can’s figure anywhere.

He frowned imperceptibly, then withdrew his eyes and focused on his brother’s filming again.

The male model had NG’ed once, so Tang San Yuan reshot the scene with him. This time the male model performed well, and finally passed in one take. Li Xin Ran shouted in a good-natured manner: “Halftime, get ready for the next scene.”

When Tang San Yuan looked up, he saw Tang Er Yuan standing in the corner and smiled.

Li Xin Ran also saw Tang Er Yuan and smiled at him awkwardly, then looked down to sort out his things.

Tang San Yuan walked up to Tang Er Yuan, the corners of his mouth raised in a teasing curve, “You now know to be anxious?”

Tang Er Yuan pursed the corners of his lips and refused to admit it, “You’re thinking too much, I’m here to visit your set.”

“Oh……” Tang San Yuan deliberately stretched his tone and responded.

Tang Er Yuan’s cheeks reddened and he deliberately didn’t ask a word about Li Can.

Tang San Yuan, however, was very understanding and found a seat to sit down with Tang Er Yuan, saying, “Li Can was just here but now he has gone to buy afternoon tea.”

Really attentive, Tang Er Yuan pouted and asked: “Do you have a scene to shoot later? If not, let’s go out for afternoon tea too.”

Tang San Yuan shook his head, “Can’t, there’s still a make-out scene.”

“A make-out scene?” Tang Er Yuan was stunned for a moment, then frowned disapprovingly and reminded in a small voice, “You’re an Omega, how can you do a make-out scene?”

Although San Yuan had been spraying inhibitors to pretend to be a Beta, he was an Omega and it was dangerous for an Omega to do a make-out scene. Once the inhibitors fails due to being too close to the other party, it will be very dangerous after the pheromones are emitted.

Tang Er Yuan couldn’t help but worry about his brother, after all, in the past, Tang San Yuan would never take on a drama with intimate scenes.

“Did you take on this movie for me?” Tang Er Yuan couldn’t help but frown.

“Of course not.” Tang San Yuan laughed a little and said indifferently, “I originally liked this script, and the actor I’m playing an intimate scene with is a Beta, my pheromones won’t have any effect on him.”

Only then did Tang Er Yuan feel a little more at ease, “Why would you suddenly take on a film with an intimate scene?”

Tang San Yuan ruffled his hair and smiled, “I suddenly wanted to try it out.”

Tang Er Yuan looked at his brother and was in a teasing mood, unable to resist teasing, “You’re not worried about Gu An being jealous when you do intimate scenes?”

Tang San Yuan’s expression froze for a moment before he said with some loss, “He doesn’t care, it’s not like you don’t know that he and I are just firing up the CP, we’re not really dating.”

“I thought you guys were making the fake real.” Tang Er Yuan had seen the variety shows they had participated in together, and he always felt that Tang San Yuan’s dependence on Gu An did not seem like he was faking it.

Mentioning Gu An, Tang San Yuan’s expression obviously became a little darker, picking up his glass of water and taking a slow sip.

Li Xin Ran finished the work on hand, stood in place for a moment and walked towards Tang Er Yuan.

Tang Er Yuan felt a shadow fall on his head and raised his head, Li Xin Ran was standing in front of him.

Li Xin Ran smiled coyly and said, “Er Yuan, do you have time to chat with me?”

Tang Er Yuan was a bit surprised, although he and Li Xin Ran knew each other, they usually only met and said hello.

Although he didn’t know what Li Xin Ran wanted to say, he still nodded, “Ok.”

Li Xin Ran smiled and sat down beside him. Tang San Yuan stood up, leaving the two of them to talk, “I’ll go to the dressing room to touch up my makeup.”

Li Xin Ran looked a bit formal, it was obvious that he wanted to talk to Tang Er Yuan, but after sitting down, he was silent for a long time. He looked at a point of nothingness in the air and seemed a bit lost in thought, not knowing what he was thinking.

Tang Er Yuan did not rush him and sat there playing with his phone, waiting for him to speak.

After a while, Li Xin Ran came back to his senses, smiled guiltily at Tang Er Yuan and hastily apologised, “Sorry, I got lost in thought.”

Tang Er Yuan put away his phone and looked up at him, “It’s okay.”

Li Xin Ran lowered his head, “Actually, I came to look for you, just hoping you could be a bit nicer to Zhou Ze.”

“……” Tang Er Yuan thought to himself, so not only was he an empire peerless gun buddy, Li Xin Ran was also an empire peerless ex-boyfriend.

But he was under no obligation to promise anything to Li Xin Ran and only asked, “You still haven’t let go of Zhou Ze?”

Li Xin Ran smiled bitterly, “I need a little time……”

After all, the relationship was a bit awkward and the two were silent for a while longer.

“……Why did you break up?” Tang Er Yuan was originally not curious about this matter, but Li Xin Ran now looked like he was going to entrust Zhou Ze with a bitter look, so he had to ask the question.

Li Xin Ran’s smile was bitter, “…In the past, we always thought that love was enough, but only when we went abroad did we realise that there is no dignity without money, and no love can be talked about without dignity. In the face of daily necessities, feelings are eroded off easily. In the end, there are only complaints against each other left and since that’s the case, it’s better to end it quickly, get back on the right track, and don’t delay each other again.”

Tang Er Yuan didn’t speak. Firstly, he saw that Li Xin Ran was feeling sad for his love, so he didn’t want to disturb him. Secondly, he didn’t agree with the love between Li Xin Ran and Zhou Ze. In life, whether he had money or not, each had their own troubles, there is no smooth sailing love. As for dignity, it has nothing to do with money. In the end, they just can’t hold on, or they don’t love so much anymore. Three years ago, Zhou Ze could take Li Xin Ran away without a care for anything else, but Zhou Ze three years later will not.

Tang Er Yuan’s view of love is very simple, he believes that love is only about love, if you like, you should be together, if you don’t like it, you should let it go, external factors should not be the reason for not loving.

Tang Er Yuan was thinking about this when he looked up and Li Can walked in.

The secretary followed behind him, carrying some afternoon tea in his hands.

The sun shone on Li Can’s body like a layer of golden light and Tang Er Yuan could not help but squint his eyes.

Li Can saw Tang Er Yuan’s footsteps obviously pause for a moment, then walked over faster with a pleasant smile, “Yuan Yuan, how come you came over?”

While Li Can was acting normal, the secretary behind him was shocked. The secretary knew that Li Can was recently chasing Li Xin Ran and was sweating over Tang Er Yuan, how come Tang Er Yuan found his way here himself? He was sitting with Li Xin Ran, was he here to catch adultery?

“Came to visit San Yuan’s set.”

Li Can didn’t think much of it, he just waved his hand to let the secretary’s people to divide the afternoon tea he bought, he himself picked and chose from the things he bought, and chose a few things that Tang Er Yuan liked to eat to pass to him.

The secretary looked at Tang Er Yuan nervously and was relieved to see him calmly accept what Li Can handed him, the two of them calm and quiet, the scene he imagined did not happen.

Li Can took the food to Tang Er Yuan and remembered Li Xin Ran as an afterthought, he quickly raised a bright smile, picked up the sandwich and milk tea and tenderly handed them to Li Xin Ran, “Xin Ran, have something to eat.”

Li Xin Ran looked at the sandwich in his hand and smiled, only taking the milk tea, “The sandwich has eggs in it, I don’t eat eggs.”

Li Can smiled awkwardly and withdrew his hand, “Then I’ll change to another one for you?”

Li Xin Ran shook his head, “No, I’m not hungry, just have a cup of milk tea.”

He finished and stood up, walking over to see how the scene was set up for the next scene.

Tang Er Yuan watched him walk away, biting into the pineapple bun he liked to eat in his hand, mocking Li Can without mercy, “You don’t even know what Li Xin Ran likes to eat, it’s only right that you haven’t caught him yet.”

Li Can raised an eyebrow, “You know what Zhou Ze likes to eat?”

“……” He really doesn’t know.

Tang Er Yuan took a hard bite of the pineapple bun, he really didn’t know Zhou Ze well enough, but he just needed to know that he liked him.

Li Can reached out his finger to wipe off the sauce that had gotten on the corner of his lips.

Tang San Yuan came out after fixing his make-up, just in time to bump into this scene and couldn’t help but curl his lips, so close and still saying it’s just a gun buddy relationship? His eyes shifted to the small cut he had accidentally made on his hand, then smiled slightly, a teasing light in his eyes.

Li Can wiped his hand and couldn’t help but ask, “Tell me what do you and Xin Ran both liked about that Zhou Ze?”

“The face ah.” Tang Er Yuan answered without hesitation, although he didn’t know what Li Xin Ran liked about Zhou Ze, what he liked was Zhou Ze’s face, so whether Zhou Ze had him in his heart or not, he didn’t care at all, as long as he could see that face of Zhou Ze.

“……Superficial!” Li Can choked for a moment and pointed at himself, “Don’t I look handsome?”

“Handsome.” Tang Er Yuan looked at him carefully for a few moments and had to admit that Li Can looked much more handsome than Zhou Ze.

“Then why haven’t you liked me for the three years you’ve been with me?” Li Can said couldn’t help but feel a little angry, that Zhou Ze was not only pretentious but also had no bearing, what was so good about him?

Tang Er Yuan blinked innocently and said as a matter of course, “But you would never take a red rose, just like I would never touch a pink rose.”

Li Can was puzzled, “What does this have to do with red roses?”

Tang Er Yuan had a smile in his eyes and smiled as he recalled, “The first time I saw Zhou Ze back then was in a field of roses, my favourite red roses and a face that matched my aesthetics made me fall in love with him right away, and at that time I thought, I must chase him.”

At that time the Tang family went on a spring vacation at the countryside. He was alone in the fields and Zhou Ze was photographing in the rose fields. He saw him as soon as he looked up and fell in love at first sight, he still remembers the sunshine and the scent of roses on his nose that day whenever he thinks back, Zhou Ze was like spot in the beautiful scenery in his memory, it may not be important, but it is indispensable.

Tang Er Yuan liked Zhou Ze like he liked red roses, he is persistent because he is good looking.

Li Can also looks good, but unfortunately he doesn’t like red roses.

“Superficial!” Li Can could not retort, but could only repeat angrily.
