The film and television city starts from the courtyard

When Zhao Shucheng woke up early in the morning, he was stunned to see himself and Xie Qiao lying in the same bed.

After carefully recalling what had happened yesterday, he remembered that he had been a groomsman, accompanying Tan Hui to drink with the guests.

This was the first time I had ever drunk alcohol since I came into this world. My body hadn't adjusted yet, so I was no longer the invincible drinker I used to be, and I got drunk quite a bit.

As for how he got back to the room and ended up with Xie Qiao, his memory was a bit hazy.

Xie Qiao woke up at this moment and, seeing that Zhao Shucheng was awake, said, "Qin Chuan, you're awake?"

"Hmm, but what are you doing here?"

Xie Qiao glared at Zhao Shucheng and said angrily, "You have the nerve to say that? You can't drink, so what are you trying to prove? You were so drunk you were unconscious, I had to bring you back on a luggage cart."

"Oh, I'm so happy! My troublemaking sister is finally married and can cause trouble for others instead of me. But what are you doing in my room?"

"Look carefully, is this your room?"

Zhao Shucheng looked around and realized it wasn't his room after all. He laughed and said, "Qiaoqiao, do you have ulterior motives towards me? Otherwise, why didn't you take me back to my room and instead brought me to yours?"

"It's because you were drunk that I couldn't find your room key, so I had to take you back to my room. By the way, Sister Qin Qian's wedding is over. When are you planning to go back to Beijing?"

Zhao Shucheng said, "After saying goodbye to them, I'll go back today. After all, I still have a lot of things to do, and they're on their honeymoon and won't have time to deal with us."

"Alright then, I was thinking of making the most of my trip to Shanghai and having some fun."

"If you want to play, we'll have plenty of opportunities after the holidays, but you're still in school now, so your leave is about to end, right?"

Xie Qiao sighed and said, "Yes, I only took two days off. I really have to go back."

Qin Qian knew that Zhao Shucheng was going back to Beijing, and said, "It's good that you're going back, but you still have to keep it a secret from Mom and Dad."

"You're already married, aren't you going to keep quiet about it?"

“You know they’re against me being with Tan Hui. I think once we’ve made something of ourselves, they won’t have any reason to object.”

Seeing Qin Qian's serious expression, Zhao Shucheng said, "Alright then, but I can only keep it a secret for a while. You'd better make it a done deal as soon as possible, take the child back, and they'll have no choice but to acknowledge it."

"Okay, hurry up and board the plane with Qiaoqiao!"

After Zhao Shucheng and Xie Qiao returned to Beijing, they parted ways at the school gate. Zhao Shucheng had to go back to the store to check on the work, while Xie Qiao had to go back to cancel her leave.

Upon learning that Xie Qiao had returned, Yang Cheng rushed to find her.

"Xie Qiao, how could you go to Shanghai with that kid?"

"Which kid? Qin Chuan is my childhood friend. I went to his sister's wedding with him."

"Then why didn't you answer my calls?"

Xie Qiao asked, puzzled, "What do we have to talk about?"

"Oh, you can talk to your childhood friends, but you have nothing to say to your boyfriend?"

Xie Qiao said speechlessly, "Yang Cheng, is it fun to tease me like this?"

"Who's kidding you? Do you know I booked a flight to Shanghai today? If you don't come back, I'll be in Shanghai by tonight."

"You...you really want to date me?"

Yang Cheng said, "Don't you want to? Xie Qiao, I might really have fallen for you."

As he spoke, Yang Cheng leaned in for a kiss. Xie Qiao instinctively pushed Yang Cheng away and said, "Yang Cheng, what are you doing?"

"I like you, I want to kiss you, what's wrong?"

"But I don't like you. We didn't know each other before, and we've only met a few times. We're not boyfriend and girlfriend, so I can't do this kind of thing."

"But I like you, I fell in love with you at first sight."

Xie Qiao almost burst out laughing when she heard this. She knew that Yang Cheng had fallen in love with Xiao Qianxi at first sight. After all, he had pursued Xiao Qianxi for quite some time after they met, and she had witnessed it all herself.

"Yang Cheng, I'll pretend I didn't hear that. I don't want to be in a relationship right now, I'm going back!"

Xie Qiao rushed back to her dormitory in a panic. She actually wanted to try what it was like to be in a relationship, but whenever Yang Cheng got close, she couldn't help but think of Zhao Shucheng.

Although Xie Qiao rejected Yang Cheng, Yang Cheng did not give up. From then on, he appeared downstairs at Xie Qiao's dormitory every day, bringing her flowers and breakfast.

Xie Qiao couldn't resist Yang Cheng's persistent pleading, so she decided to have a serious relationship with him.

Unfortunately, just when Xie Qiao finally made up her mind to agree, Yang Cheng didn't show up at the girls' dormitory for two days, nor did he bring Xie Qiao flowers or breakfast.

She began to worry that something might have happened to Yang Cheng, but she couldn't get through to him on the phone, so she could only ask Wang Ying for information.

"Wang Ying, Yang Cheng hasn't contacted me for two days. Do you know anything about his situation?"

"He probably went out with his friends."

Xie Qiao asked, "Does he have many friends?"

"It's alright, they're all the same group of people in the circle who love going to bars, and the girls they always have new ones."

Xie Qiao asked, "Has Yang Cheng had many girlfriends?"

Don't you think it's a little too late for you to ask this now?

"Of all the girls he's dated, what was the longest relationship he ever had?"

Seeing Xie Qiao's distracted state, Wang Ying was genuinely worried that she was falling for him and said, "Well, I don't really remember, the longest it's been is no more than three months." "Three months?"

"Qiaoqiao, although what I'm saying might make you feel bad, I still want to give you some advice. Let's start the countdown now. Yang Cheng and I have never lacked anything growing up, nor do we have any grand ideals from our ancestors. Everyone has been very kind to us, so we are a group of people without any desires. I think Yang Cheng has been searching for what he wants, but he doesn't know what he wants. So try this, try that, and if you feel it's not right, throw it away immediately."

Xie Qiao said, "So you mean it's like a supermarket tasting, and I'm the sample?"

"What I mean is, don't get your hopes up. The trial version is fine, but if you waste your time and it expires, it'll be a complete disaster."

The next day.

Yang Cheng drove his sports car to the school to pick up Wang Ying for dinner. Wang Ying found a lipstick tucked into the crevice of the passenger seat and asked, "When was this left?"

"It was probably Xie Qiao who dropped it by accident."

For Yang Cheng, it didn't really matter who left it behind, but Wang Ying knew that she was pursuing Xie Qiao, so no matter whose it was, it could only be Xie Qiao who left it behind.

Unfortunately, he didn't know Xie Qiao at all, but Wang Ying knew that Xie Qiao never wore makeup, so she guessed that it must have been left behind by Yang Chengxin's new prey.

"Yang Cheng, Xie Qiao never wears lipstick."

"Really? What are you doing tonight? Or maybe we should..."

"Why don't you ask Xie Qiao out? Aren't you pursuing her? Yet you haven't contacted Xie Qiao for two days."

"Oh, so you're already complaining to me?"

Yang Cheng was secretly pleased to hear Xie Qiao complain to Wang Ying, as it showed that Xie Qiao had begun to pay attention to his whereabouts, and his strategy of playing hard to get had indeed worked.

"If you've had your fun, just give Xie Qiao a quick death, okay? She's different from the other girls around you. She doesn't want anything from you, and she's not playing around."

"I wasn't playing either."

Wang Ying didn't believe Yang Cheng's words. Although she had always liked Yang Cheng, she also knew that he was a playboy who would never stay with anyone for long.

Seeing that Wang Ying was staring at him intently, Yang Cheng said, "Okay, I'll ask her out tonight."

Hearing Yang Cheng's words, Wang Ying became even more worried about Xie Qiao. After all, judging from Yang Cheng's indifferent attitude, he clearly didn't take Xie Qiao very seriously. What if Xie Qiao got serious? Wouldn't she be heartbroken?

She herself couldn't very well stop Xie Qiao from dating Yang Cheng, so she could only ask Zhao Shucheng to see if he could step in and stop it.

After learning Wang Ying's purpose, Zhao Shucheng said, "I can't help you with this. After all, it was Xie Qiao's own choice. She is an adult now and should be responsible for her choices."

"But you like her, don't you? Are you just going to watch her be with someone else without feeling jealous or bothered at all?"

Zhao Shucheng said, "Wang Ying, have you misunderstood something? After all, you said that I used to like her, but now I suddenly feel that my career is more important than love, and Xie Qiao is not my only choice."

"Have you already fallen for someone else so quickly? And why are you still showing up at our school? Are you one of the girls here?"

Zhao Shucheng looked at Wang Ying and said, "Why can't it be you?"

"Don't joke with me. You know I have someone I like."

Zhao Shucheng said, "Of course I know, it's Yang Cheng. But when do you think he'll ever notice your feelings if you keep liking him like this?"

"you……"

Zhao Shucheng said, "Actually, I understand your choice. After all, children born into families like yours have everything from birth, so they have no goal in life. Yang Cheng has always been looking for his own goal, but you have made Yang Cheng your goal."

To be honest, the children of wealthy families are the most prone to moral decay, or rather, self-indulgence. Because they are born with many things that most people can only dream of, many things pose no challenge to them. Therefore, they need to find things to pass the time and release their pent-up emotions.

Therefore, some people choose extreme sports to pursue that thrill, while others choose to be playboys to seek different kinds of excitement.

Yang Cheng is the second type of person, while Wang Ying is more self-controlled, or rather, due to her family's current situation, she is not allowed to do too many outrageous things. Therefore, Wang Ying treats her feelings for Yang Cheng as a pursuit, and spends more of her time studying and pursuing her education.

However, it was precisely because of her relationship with Yang Cheng's two families that she dared not speak up easily. After all, she would not only represent herself, but if Yang Cheng refused, it would also affect the relationship between the two families.

"Wang Ying, sometimes what you think you like isn't actually liking someone. Maybe it's just possessiveness, or an illusion. Since Yang Cheng has someone he likes now, why don't you try liking someone else? Maybe then you'll find that what you liked before was just an illusion?"

Wang Ying looked at Zhao Shucheng somewhat helplessly and said, "Qin Chuan, I can take it as you joking. I came to talk to you about Xie Qiao. Don't try to change the subject. After all, she's your childhood friend. You can't just stand by and watch her get hurt, can you?"

"I can't interfere. After all, this is a matter of feelings, and as the saying goes, even an upright official can't settle family disputes. Xie Qiao wants to experience the taste of love, so what reason do I have to stop her?"

As Zhao Shucheng spoke, he looked at Wang Ying and said, "Besides, even you, who are also my childhood friend, couldn't stop Yang Cheng from liking one girl after another. Do you think I can stop Xie Qiao?"

Wang Ying fell silent. If she really had a way to stop Yang Cheng, she wouldn't be watching one girl after another appear around him.

"So you're just going to watch like this?"

"What else? Besides, I'm focusing my energy on my career right now. My milk tea shop is already quite famous, and I'm preparing to open a branch, so I don't have time for anything else."

Zhao Shucheng wasn't making excuses; he genuinely hadn't expected the milk tea shop to do so well, which had shown many investors its potential. Moreover, Zhao Shucheng's unique decor and recipe, along with the revenue figures, made investors feel that the future was bright.

Therefore, Zhao Shucheng is not only preparing for a second branch, but also planning to raise angel investment. If he can raise five million yuan, he can quickly dominate the Beijing market and even begin to expand into other cities.

Wang Ying was surprised that Zhao Shucheng really didn't intend to get involved, and said helplessly, "So, you really don't care and are just going to watch?"

“That’s right. I don’t think you should interfere either. You said it yourself, Yang Cheng is indecisive. If we don’t intervene, Yang Cheng will break up with Xie Qiao soon, just like before. On the contrary, if you interfere, because of your status as her roommate and childhood friend, they won’t be able to break up quickly. Even if they maintain a superficial relationship, they will persist until graduation, wasting their time and doing more harm than good.”

Wang Ying hadn't expected Zhao Shucheng to think that way. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that what Zhao Shucheng said wasn't entirely unreasonable.

Yang Cheng's feelings for someone are unpredictable; she never considers others' opinions, and her affections never last. She doesn't think Xie Qiao will be the exception.

Zhao Shucheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Wang Ying had finally stopped mentioning Xie Qiao. The first person Zhao Shucheng had taken a liking to after arriving in this world was actually Wang Ying.

After all, Xia He's alluring charm still made him quite envious, while Wang Ying, with her haughty demeanor and aloofness, was the complete opposite of Xia He. Zhao Shucheng really wanted to see what it would be like to see Xia He's allure revealed through the aloof Wang Ying after they got together. (End of Chapter)
