The film and television city starts from the courtyard

Zhao Shucheng originally wanted to wait for Mo Xiaomin to finish chatting with her ex-boyfriend, but unexpectedly, Mo Xiaomin started walking out of the shopping mall while talking to him.

Although Zhao Shucheng didn't know what the two were talking about, or whether they wanted to get back together, he had no interest in following Mo Xiaomin.

She wanted to go back to find Zuo Yongbang, but then she saw a text message from him and knew that he must have already left the mall. For a moment, she didn't know where to go.

After hesitating for a while, Zhao Shucheng decided to go straight home.

However, thinking about Qian, who had nothing to do at home, and that there wasn't much food at home, he went to the supermarket to buy some groceries before returning home.

When Aqian saw Zhao Shucheng return, she asked curiously, "Hey, Xiaobai, why are you back so soon? Didn't you go on a date with Mo Xiaomin?"

"Who told you I went on a date?"

"Is not it?"

"Of course not, I have important business to attend to. Oh, by the way, I bought some groceries, I'll cook them later."

"Oh, what did you buy? I don't know how to cook these."

Zhao Shucheng looked at A Qian with disdain and said, "I never expected you to do it. Tell me, what can you do besides frying eggs?

As he spoke, Zhao Shucheng carried the vegetables directly to the kitchen and said, "What are you waiting for? You're not really going to wait for me to cook for you, are you? Help me pick and wash the vegetables."

Ah Qian smiled and said, "I'm here. It's not that I didn't have a chance to learn before. Don't worry, I will definitely learn from you and make sure you can benefit from it in the future."

Zhao Shucheng said, "I hope you can really learn it."

As he spoke, Zhao Shucheng started picking vegetables with A Qian to prepare a meal.

"By the way, what did you go to do just now?"

Zhao Shucheng said, "I went to rescue Zuo Yongbang, and it was probably because I did something so underhanded that I got my comeuppance. When I went to the shopping mall, it happened to be where Mo Xiaomin worked, and I didn't expect to see Mo Xiaomin leaving get off work with a man."

"So you didn't do anything inappropriate, did you? Maybe that man is her brother?"

Zhao Shucheng rolled his eyes at A Qian and said, "Don't try to comfort me. I've met that person before; he's Mo Xiaomin's ex-boyfriend."

"Then why don't you follow them and ask what's going on?"

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "No, we're just mutually attracted right now. It's her business how she chooses. What reason do I have to question her? I don't want to become a part of their romantic relationship."

"So you just came back like this?"

"if not?"

"I think it might be a misunderstanding. Why don't you give her a call and ask her where she is and what she's doing? Maybe it's not what you think?"

"That's why I came back. I'll ask her again when we meet another day."

Aqian suddenly felt a pang of sadness and said, "Xiaobai, have you really fallen for Mo Xiaomin?"

Zhao Shucheng asked, "Why do you ask that?"

"If you didn't truly love him, you wouldn't have come back without asking any questions, acting as if nothing had happened. Because if it were me, I definitely wouldn't have done nothing."

"Oh, so what would you do?"

Ah Qian said, "It depends on whether I feel bad or not. I will also ask myself whether it is because I can't stand being cheated on, or because it is out of true love."

"Is there a difference?"

Aqian nodded and said, "Of course there's a difference. If it's my pride that can't take it, I'll go directly to him, or call him, and say I saw everything, I'm quitting, and then block him and cut off all contact."

"Or I might find someone else and suddenly appear in front of Mo Xiaomin one day. When she questions me, I can casually tell her that we're all in the same boat, and then leave before she can even react. That feeling would definitely be awesome."

Zhao Shucheng said with a smile, "So you think that my not seeking revenge means I like you?"

"Of course, otherwise why would you choose to compromise?"

"Maybe it's because I don't care about her at all, so whatever she does doesn't bother me?"

Aqian looked at Zhao Shucheng and said, "Then why are you still practicing with Mo Xiaomin? What's the point?"

"Can't it be fun?"

"Xiaobai, I never thought you would become this kind of person. You are so irresponsible in relationships. How could you do this? I misjudged you."

Although Qian said that, she didn't feel any rejection; on the contrary, she felt relaxed and even joyful.

Zhao Shucheng laughed and said, "Just kidding. We've only just started getting to know each other. She doesn't belong to me, and I have no right to interfere with her freedom to make friends. So it's her right to associate with whomever she wants right now. But if anything happens between us in the future, this kind of behavior must be stopped."

"Tch, I thought you didn't like it at all. But it turns out you do like it."

"No, right now it's just appreciation, or perhaps everyone has a love for beauty. Who can really know what will happen later?"

Zhao Shucheng didn't want to continue discussing this issue with A Qian, since such a discussion was destined to be fruitless, and everything still depended on the final outcome.

Meanwhile, Zuo Yongbang thought he had shaken off Miki, so he got into a taxi and happily went to meet a hot young woman.

Just when he thought that the other party had invited him to her house to do something romantic, he didn't expect that she just wanted him to play cards, and with real paper cards at that.

Miki watched as Zuo Yongbang pressed the elevator button to go upstairs. After she clearly saw which floor the elevator was stopping at, she followed another elevator up.

As the elevator ascended, Miki wondered what she was going to do if she followed it. What kind of scene would she need to see to truly be satisfied?
What if I've misunderstood and Zuo Yongbang is just meeting a friend? Would I feel disappointed if I came to see him for nothing? But what if I actually witness Zuo Yongbang cheating?
Would she want to kill the adulterous couple, one by one? Could she really do that? Besides, all she has now, besides a bag, is a nail clipper inside. Can that really put her at ease?
While Zhao Shucheng and A Qian were busy in the kitchen, they suddenly heard their cell phone ring. They initially thought it was Zuo Yongbang calling for help again, but it turned out to be Mo Xiaomin calling.

Zhao Shucheng paused for a moment, then asked A Qian to watch the fire before answering the phone: "Hello, Xiao Min." Mo Xiao Min said sadly on the phone: "Xiao Bai, are you home? I'm downstairs at your place now, and I want to come up and see you."

Zhao Shucheng said, "I'm at home, so just come up!"

"it is good!"

When Mo Xiaomin arrived at Zhao Shucheng's house and opened the door, she saw Zhao Shucheng holding A Qian's hand, looking very affectionate.

"What are you doing?" Mo Xiaomin asked, somewhat surprised.

"It's nothing. Qian accidentally burned herself while she was serving me the dishes. I'm treating her now."

Mo Xiaomin initially didn't believe it, but she calmed down after seeing A Qian's slightly red hands and the burn ointment on Zhao Shucheng's hands.

"Xiaobai, I hope I haven't disturbed your work by coming to see you at this time?"

Zhao Shucheng said with a smile, "Of course not, as you can see, we were just about to eat. Your arrival is perfect; let's eat together!"

"Okay!"

Mo Xiaomin didn't want to refuse, or rather, she wasn't sure what she really thought. Not long ago, her ex-boyfriend came to her asking to get back together, but she refused, even saying that she already had someone new she liked.

After saying that, Zhao Shucheng's image appeared in Mo Xiaomin's mind, which is why she came to find him.

But when she saw Zhao Shucheng and A Qian sharing a room, even looking like they were living at home, for some reason, she didn't want to leave at all, and didn't even want A Qian to have too much contact with Zhao Shucheng.

Meanwhile, Miki followed Zuo Yongbang to the 22nd floor and witnessed Zuo Yongbang knocking on the door, which was then opened by a little girl who went inside and closed the door.

Miki wanted to knock on the door to see what they were doing, but she stopped at the door because she didn't know how to face what would happen if she knocked.

Zuo Yongbang didn't find it interesting to play poker with the hot girl's friends. He found it a bit boring and wanted to leave. But when he opened a crack in the door, he saw Miki wearing high heels, walking back and forth in the corridor like a prison guard.

Feeling guilty, he closed the door and went back inside.

Miki actually heard the door close. She turned around and glanced back, and after realizing that no one had come out, she paused for a moment, then silently turned and left.

After Mo Xiaomin finished eating with Zhao Shucheng and the others, she looked at A Qian clearing the table and then at Zhao Shucheng pouring her water. She hesitated for a moment and asked:

"Xiaobai, why didn't you ask me out today?"

Zhao Shucheng laughed and said, "You're wronging me. I went to your mall today to ask for your help, but I saw that you and your ex-boyfriend had something to say to each other, so it wouldn't be appropriate for me to show up and I came back first."

"Don't you have anything you want to ask?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "No, because whether you get back together with him or you really break up completely, I think it's your choice to do what you want, and I have no right to interfere."

Mo Xiaomin frowned, surprised by Zhao Shucheng's response, and asked, "But if I really get back together with him, won't you care at all?"

Zhao Shucheng said, "It would be a lie to say I don't care, but everyone is an independent individual and must learn to take responsibility for their own choices. Besides, relationships are always a joint choice between two people, not something that one person can decide unilaterally. So I understand and support it."

"But since you saw it, why didn't you ask me?"

Zhao Shucheng said with a smile, "Whether I ask or not is not important, because if you don't like me, then asking will only humiliate me. If you love me, then whether I appear or not, whether I ask or not, it won't affect our relationship, right?"

"then you……"

Zhao Shucheng interrupted Mo Xiaomin's continued questioning and said, "I don't have many merits in my life, except for my self-confidence. So I don't care whether my woman goes out to work or socializes with other people, as long as she doesn't do anything to betray me, I don't care about anything else."

Mo Xiaomin was taken aback by Zhao Shucheng's words, and couldn't help but think of her own words when she broke up with her ex-boyfriend. What she wanted was a boyfriend like this—one who, regardless of whether he had truly made a mistake, had unwavering faith in her. Someone who believed that no matter what happened, no matter what, she would love him, wouldn't check her phone, wouldn't monitor her, and wouldn't even lock her at home, preventing her from socializing or contacting others. Someone with enough confidence that, no matter what, she would still think of him, and he would always be in her heart.

Although Zhao Shucheng hadn't yet made it clear that he felt she was in his heart, that confidence was enough to make Mo Xiaomin's heart flutter.

Of course, regarding the relationship between Zhao Shucheng and A Qian, she could see that A Qian actually liked Zhao Shucheng, but Zhao Shucheng hadn't reciprocated yet.

Whether it's for her own love or because she truly likes him, she doesn't intend to give up on Zhao Shucheng. Instead, she wants to compete fairly with Wang Qianqian, even if Zhao Shucheng cheats on her with both of them one day.

Zhao Shucheng had no idea what Mo Xiaomin was thinking. Right now, all he wanted was for Mo Xiaomin to go back as soon as possible so that he could get some rest.

Mo Xiaomin suddenly spoke up: "Xiaobai, let's officially be together!"

Zhao Shucheng looked at Mo Xiaomin and asked, "Do you know what you're saying?"

"Of course, I know very well."

"But the kind of love I want doesn't allow my woman to have thoughts of other men, nor will it tolerate betrayal. Can you do that?"

"Of course you can. Actually, before I came to you, I had already made it clear to him that we were going to break up completely and never contact each other again. And the person I like now is you."

Just then, the sound of porcelain shattering came from the kitchen. Looking down, Ah Qian stood there, stunned, with broken pieces of a bowl on the floor.

When Qian saw that they were all looking at her, she hurriedly said in a panic, "Um, there was oil on this bowl, and I accidentally slipped."

Zhao Shucheng said, "Then be careful, don't use your hands, use a broom to sweep."

He then turned to look at Mo Xiaomin and said, "Since you've thought it through, we can officially date for a while and see if we're really compatible. Of course, I won't do anything like stalking you or checking up on you. I'll give you my full trust, and I hope you can live up to that trust."

Mo Xiaomin laughed after hearing this, leaned against Zhao Shucheng's chest, and said, "Don't worry, I will. But if you and Aqian are living together, isn't it inconvenient for us to date?"

Zhao Shucheng asked, "What, we've only just gotten together, and you're already planning to interfere in my life?"

"Of course not, I just feel it's a bit inconvenient, like I'm carrying a third wheel everywhere I go. From now on, let's date outside, or come to my place."

Zhao Shucheng said, "I'll consider the issue you raised. A-Qian has indeed been too idle lately. I'll see if I can find her a film crew so she can have a job." (End of Chapter)
