Chapter 6:- Part 1 - Showbiz

The next morning came , Shen Chang Liu was sitting outside the cafe on the table arranged for him , waiting for Mo Zhi Yang to show up. The cafe was surrounded by nature and was in a relatively remote area.

He looked up and saw him standing in front of him which made him also stand up. While looking at him , he realised how disheartened and unkept his face and clothes were.

Shen Chang Liu said ,"Yang-Yang...sit down."

Mo Zhi Yang replies with an "Um..." sound while holding his arm with his other hand.

Shen Chang Liu thinks ,"I just haven't seen him for a day , why does it feel it has been a long time ?" while he was taking a sip of his black coffee.

Mo Zhi Yang sees him drinking coffee and says ,"You have a bad stomach , you can't drink black coffee , how about drinking hot chocolate..." while looking away from him.

Shen Chang Liu is surprised that even after all that has happened , he still cares about his health when he was just about to sip that coffee.

Mo Zhi Yang gets afraid of the look from him and puts his hands on his mouth while saying ,"Sorry , I'm sorry , I shouldn't have been so inquisitive."

Shen Chang Liu gets upset by his behaviour and says ,"No , It was my fault."

Mo Zhi Yang told ,"You don't have to say that , in fact , I know in my heart..." while clenching the cup of coffee in his hand , he further told ,"I stole all these happiness , and I have to return it to Mr. Su sooner or later."

Shen Chang Liu says ,"No...I..." while holding his hands.

But Mo Zhi Yang cuts in between and told ,"Don't worry , I won't tell Mr. Su about this conversation."

He loosened his hand from his grip and says ,"If it's okay , I'm leaving."

He gets up from his seat and turns around to leave saying ,"Thank you Chang Liu Ge. I don't regret the days with you at all." and wipes the tears falling from his eyes while looking back at him.

Shen Chang Liu thinks ,"Obviously , being with him is because he looks like Su Bai , why did he become like this...But don't I like him ? Don't I really like him ?"

After Mo Zhi Yang left from there , he went to a nearby food stall to eat stinky tofu as he wants to eat everything which he couldn't eat while staying with Shen Chang Liu.

While picking a piece of tofu with a chopstick , he says ,"I thought he would come to me in a few days."

He further says ,"Ah , It seems that Su Bai is really a person with a bad behaviour..." while eating the tofu.

System thinks ,"It smells too bad...!!" and asks ,"You have to eat stinky tofu for a few days to be satisfied ??"

Mo Zhi Yang says while pointing the chopstick towards the system ,"What do you know ! I will be back with Shen Chang Liu in a little while , can you let me eat enough !"

In the filming set , Shen Chan Liu was recording his lines for the new script. The director says ,"Cut ! It's end here ! Thank you for your hard work !"

Shen Chang Liu was sitting absent-minded when his co-actor comes to him to ask ,"Teacher Shen , won't you go back ?"

He nods to her as a greeting and says ,"Well , I have to check the script again..."

In response , his co-actor told ,"Then I'll go back first , Teacher Shen has worked hard."

ShenChang Liu says ,"Well , Bye."

He thinks ,"Since I separated from Yang-Yang , I have never returned home...Obviously , there is a person in my house that I liked when I was young , but I don't know why I can't be happy. But isn't this the result I want..." while holding the script tightly. 

His phone vibrates in his pant pocket. He takes it out thinking ,"Yang-Yang has called." On the other end of the call , Su Bai asks ,"Chang Liu , won't you come back today ?" Hearing this , He goes silent but decides to go home.

When Shen Chang Liu reaches the house , he opens the main door and sees Su Bai standing at the entrance waiting for him. He asks ,"What's wrong , are you uncomfortable somewhere ?" 

Su Bai looks towards him while folding his arms , he says ,"You're back !" He follows him inside the living room who was removing his coat. He asks ,"Are you very busy these days ?"

Shen Chang Liu replies ,"Quite busy , I just took a new movie script. I'm going to take a shower first , I'm a little tired..." He was cut in between as Su Bai suddenly hugs him from back.

He gets shocked and pushed Su Bai away , and turned around to ask ,"What are you doing ?!"

Su Bai replies with a smile ,"I know it has been hard to leave you alone all these years. We can be together now as we were before." He moves closer while wrapping his arms around his neck and further replied ,"For example , we can do what you and i like to do before..."

Shen Chang Liu says in a low whisper ,"Wrong..." while pushing him away by putting his hands on his shoulder , and further says ,"Su Bai , It's not right , It's not right !"

Su Bai asks ,"What's wrong ?!"

Shen Chang Liu looks seriously at him while his hands were on his shoulders , he asks ,"I ask you , have you ever truly liked me ?"

Su Bai was going to reply hesitantly with ,"Yes , I..."

But Shen Chang Liu asks another question ,"Then tell me , What do I like to eat ? What colour do I like ? What do I like to do ?"

Su Bai was unable to answer , he just says ,"This..."

Shen Chang Liu then starts telling about all things he and Su Bai had done previously before he left him back at that time. He says ,"We have known each other for fifteen years , and you have never known me in fifteen years. If you like to watch concerts , I will go to work part-time to make money and buy those tickets for you. The cake which you like to eat , I will queue up for you to buy even if it snows."

He pauses to ask Su Bai ,"What about you ?"

But instead of waiting for a reply , he further says ,"I have treated you well for seven years , from middle school to high school...But after you graduated , you left without a word and didn't even say goodbye. Why ?"

Su Bai anxiously raises his hands to touch him and told ,"Chang Liu , No , I can explain all of these..." He pauses as something appears in his mind. Then he asks ,"Is it that mistress...What did he say to you ?" He gets angry and shouts ,"I have known for a long time , he must be the one who seduced you first..."

Shen Chang Liu irritated by his behaviour , pushes him behind the wall , and says ,"Nonsense ! You have never responded to my feelings for so many years , everything is just my unrequited love , so how come there is a mistress !"

Su Bai becomes afraid of him and asks ,"But this is your own feelings ! What does it have to do with me ?"

Shen Chang Liu leaves his shoulders hearing this and says ,"Of course , It has nothing to do with you." He picks up his coat while dusting using his hands and told ,"So , Su Bai , I don't love you anymore. So be it. Also , starting today , I will not allow you to say anything about Mo Zhi Yang. Do you hear it ?" and puts his coat on his shoulders.
