The film and television city starts from the courtyard

this day.

Amy's shop wasn't doing much business, and she was getting ready to change into a new, pretty outfit so she could close early and go on a date with Zhao Shucheng.

At this moment, it was suddenly discovered that Xiaoxiao was with her boyfriend, Asheng.

"Xiaoxiao?"

"Sister Amy, are you getting ready to go out?"

"Yeah, there aren't many people in the store, so we might as well close early. You're here to buy clothes, right? Come in and take a look."

Amy then let Xiaoxiao and Asheng in and asked, "Xiaoxiao, what style of clothes does your boyfriend usually wear?"

"It doesn't matter, he wears hip-hop, British style, whatever style he likes."

Amy nodded and said, "The style over there should suit him quite well. You guys take a look."

Ah Sheng stepped in front of Amy and said, "I've been thinking of changing my style lately."

"A transformation? What kind of transformation do you want to undergo?"

"Are there any types who look more mature?"

After Asheng and Xiaoxiao finished buying clothes and left, Amy didn't pay any attention and prepared to close the door to go on her date with Zhao Shucheng.

But as soon as I left the clothing store, my phone rang, and I saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

"Hey, Sheng?"

When she heard A-Sheng's passionate confession on the phone, she was both amused and exasperated. Although he kept saying that he had fallen in love with Amy at first sight when he saw her at Zhao Shucheng's house last time, she had no feelings for a young man like A-Sheng at all.

"I'm sorry, Sheng, I already have a boyfriend, and I really like him. I have no intention of breaking up with him."

"I don't mind, as long as you can turn around and see me, and chat with me, I'll be content."

Amy didn't want to get too entangled with him because she couldn't see a future with Ah Sheng, and he was even a minor, so she felt guilty about being with him.

"Sorry, I refuse!"

Zhao Shucheng was at home, preparing a candlelight dinner with Amy, when he heard a knock on the door. He opened the door and saw Xiaoxiao and Luo Shuquan standing at the door.

"Wait, what brings you two here at this hour?"

"Xiaobai, can't you control your girlfriend?"

Which girlfriend are you talking about?

"It's Amy."

Zhao Shucheng asked curiously, "Amy? What did she do to you? You two shouldn't have any connection, right?"

"If you don't do something about her, you'll be cuckolded."

Luo Shuquan asked, "What happened? What did you see?"

"She's trying to steal my boyfriend away, what's going on?"

"Really? How is that possible? Your boyfriend, Sheng, is only seventeen!"

"Of course, I don't know either. I took him to Amy's store to buy clothes, and then I fell in love at first sight and started pursuing him. He just broke up with me, saying he didn't want Amy to misunderstand."

Luo Shuquan said incredulously, "No, how could that be? He's just a little kid, how could he learn from us?"

Zhao Shucheng said, "Xiaoxiao, you said Amy took Asheng away, what exactly happened? Did you see it with your own eyes, or did Asheng tell you?"

“That’s what Ah Sheng said, but he said he was going to pursue Amy.”

Zhao Shucheng said, "So, you've come to me now because you want me to seek justice for you?"

"Of course not, I just think it's necessary to tell you, so you won't get cheated on without even knowing it."

Zhao Shucheng asked, "So you don't feel anything? Aren't you uncomfortable?"

"I don't feel bad, why should I feel bad?"

Zhao Shucheng couldn't help but chuckle and said, "It seems you don't like this Asheng at all; being with him is just for fun. Alright, I know what happened. You can leave now. Amy's coming for your date soon, and I don't want you two being third wheels."

"Xiaobai, aren't you worried at all?"

Seeing Luo Shuquan's anxiety, Zhao Shucheng said, "What's the rush? This Asheng isn't Amy's type at all. What's there to worry about? Besides, I don't believe Amy would fall for this kid and give up on me, her perfect boyfriend."

"But A-Sheng is devoted to her. Don't you know your own situation?" Luo Shuquan looked at Zhao Shucheng with some reproach.

Zhao Shucheng said, "Don't worry, I know exactly what I'm doing."

Seeing Zhao Shucheng like this, Xiaoxiao and Luo Shuquan had no choice but to leave. However, they didn't expect to run into Amy, who was about to knock on the door, when they opened it.

The two of them left in a hurry, as if they had seen a ghost, and didn't dare to talk to Amy at all.

Amy watched the two figures walk away with a puzzled look, then stepped inside and asked, "Xiaobai, what's wrong with Xiaoxiao and Luo Shuquan? They act like they're doing something wrong whenever they see me. Could it be that they're together and don't want Zuo Yongbang and Yang Jingjing to know?"

Zhao Shucheng said with a smile, "What are you talking about? Xiaoxiao and Shuquan came to see me about your matter."

"My business? What business do I have?"

"Xiaoxiao's boyfriend broke up with her. Apparently, he fell in love with you at first sight and is now pursuing you." "I see. So Xiaoxiao came to confront me? But why did she run away when she saw me?"

Zhao Shucheng said, "No, actually Xiaoxiao and Asheng don't have much of a relationship. I can tell that the person she likes the most is still Shuquan, so being with Asheng is just for fun, just having a friend. It's just that she felt indignant on my behalf, thinking that you betrayed me, so she came to me."

"I see. So what do you think?"

Zhao Shucheng grabbed Amy and led her to the dining table, saying, "Of course I don't believe it. After all, with such an excellent boyfriend like me, how could you possibly be interested in that young punk? Besides, Amy, I've always known you're someone who judges by appearance. That Asheng is no match for me, so you would never like him."

"You're that confident? What if..."

"There's no 'what if'. I trust my judgment in choosing a girlfriend, and I believe in what kind of person she is."

Upon hearing this, Amy hugged Zhao Shucheng tightly and said, "If I told you that I was a little bit moved when he first confessed his feelings to me, would you be angry?"

Zhao Shucheng said, "Of course I'm angry, but I understand. After all, you've been with me without any status or recognition, so it's normal to feel wronged and want someone who loves you wholeheartedly. But if you don't have a better option, I won't let you leave my side."

As he spoke, Zhao Shucheng gave Amy a deep kiss and said, "Especially with this kind of young punk, I won't let you choose. If you leave me and become a better person, that's fine, but if you have to support someone else, I will really be heartbroken."

"You pass, don't worry. I really don't like someone like Ah Sheng, because he doesn't understand what love is or what a whim is."

"Of course. The candlelight dinner is ready, so don't let my careful preparations go to waste."

"it is good!"

As the two lay in bed, Amy suddenly said, "Xiaobai, how about I move in with you from now on?"

Zhao Shucheng snapped out of his daze, looked at Amy, and asked, "Why did you suddenly have this idea? Didn't you and Xiao Min agree that you could come over for dates and stay overnight, but neither of you could move in and officially live together?"

“But the rent for my place has gone up by a thousand, and business at my shop hasn’t been good lately, so I’m struggling to pay the rent.”

Zhao Shucheng laughed upon hearing this and said, "Hey, I thought something big had happened, that you and Xiao Min were planning to declare war. It's just raising the rent, right? I'll take care of it for you."

"How are you going to solve this? Pay my rent? You can do that once or twice, but I can't expect you to pay my rent after we break up, can I? If you won't let me move in, I'll just have to find another place that's more affordable and in a less desirable location."

Zhao Shucheng said, "Amy, what are you saying? You're my girlfriend, how could I stand by and watch you die? As for what will happen in the future, nobody can say for sure, but as long as you're still my girlfriend, making sure you have enough to eat and wear is the bare minimum."

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Shucheng asked, "Does the landlord of your current residence intend to sell the house?"

"No? Never heard of it. What, you're planning to let me buy it?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "It's not impossible. If you like your current house and find it comfortable to live in, then buy it. Although it will require a large sum of money to pay in the short term, at least you can live in this house for a long time, and it can also become a good investment in the future."

"Forget it, the location is so-so, and the house prices are so expensive, it's not worth it."

Zhao Shucheng said, "You don't need to worry about the price. Just tell me if you want it or not. If you don't, I'll take you to see houses tomorrow. If we find one that's suitable, we'll buy it directly. Then you'll have your own house and you'll never have to worry about rent increases or having nowhere to live again."

"But I don't have that much money."

Zhao Shucheng said, "Since I told you to buy a house, I'll naturally pay for it. I can't give you marriage, but you still need some security. Regardless of whether we break up in the future, as my woman, I should give you some compensation."

"But what about Xiao Min and the others? You can't possibly give each of us a house, can you?"

Zhao Shucheng retorted, "Why not? You've already suffered enough by following me. If I can't even part with a house, am I even human?"

Amy asked with some concern, "Can you come up with that much money? Even a house in the suburbs costs at least a million, let alone three houses for three people."

Zhao Shucheng said, "Amy, you're underestimating your boyfriend, aren't you? I'm making money now from writing novels and acting. Of course, I wouldn't let you live in the suburbs. It's just that there aren't suitable houses in my current neighborhood, and it's not a newly developed area, otherwise I would have bought you a place here already."

Zhao Shucheng's decision wasn't a spur-of-the-moment thing. In other worlds, some of his women were locals, while others were married with children, so Zhao Shucheng didn't really care about the housing issue.

However, the women who are with him now, whether it's Mo Xiaomin, Amy, or Xiaoxue, aren't exactly well-off. Although Mo Xiaomin has become a celebrity, she doesn't own her own house and is still living in the apartment she used to rent. In the future, she will most likely live in an apartment provided by her company.

Amy, needless to say, is also from out of town and working hard in Shanghai, just like Mo Xiaomin. Rent is a big problem for her, let alone buying a house.

Although Xiaoxue's family are locals and her parents were both former employees of a state-owned factory, they still live in an old dormitory building provided by their former employer. Zhao Shucheng had been to Xiaoxue's home; it was a typical old-style dormitory building, not exactly dirty or chaotic, but not exactly a pleasant environment either.

Since they have chosen to be with me, I am obligated to provide them with a better living environment and sufficient financial security.

Amy was touched but also worried when she heard Zhao Shucheng's words. After all, it was not easy for many big bosses to come up with so much money all at once, let alone for someone like Zhao Shucheng who writes novels.

"How about we forget it? At worst, I can rent a place with Xiao Min. If we share, it won't cost much."

"How can that be? Your man is rich, he can afford to buy you a house. Don't worry about that. Let's discuss it properly another day, what kind of house to buy, and how you can repay me."

When Amy heard Zhao Shucheng say that, she looked down at him, then buried her head in her hands, the blanket shaking incessantly for a long time.

Mo Xiaomin and Xiaoxue received a call from Amy and went to the agreed meeting place. When they heard Amy say that Zhao Shucheng was going to buy them a house, they were somewhat surprised.

"Why did Xiaobai suddenly decide to buy us a house?"

“The rent for the apartment I was renting was going to go up, so I mentioned it to him. Then he felt that renting wasn’t worth it and wanted to buy us a house directly, so we wouldn’t have to pay rent and it would be a kind of security for our livelihood.”

“I don’t need it. My company has arranged an apartment for me, and besides, I can pay the rent myself,” Mo Xiaomin said, tossing her hair.

Xiaoxue said somewhat nervously, "I... I don't need it either. My parents weren't really in favor of my relationship with Xiaobai to begin with, and if I move out directly, they'll be even less likely to agree."

Amy replied, "It's not a matter of whether you agree or not; Xiaobai has already made his decision. He invited you here to offer your advice on choosing a house. If we buy houses in the same complex, Xiaobai can visit anytime he wants. Besides, there's another advantage: living together allows us to keep an eye on Xiaobai and prevent him from having any opportunities to flirt."

Mo Xiaomin and Xiaoxue hesitated after hearing this, because they knew very well how attractive Zhao Shucheng was; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to keep leaving even though they knew of each other's existence.

Especially since Zhao Shucheng is now the assistant director of the film crew, and may even become the director in the future, who knows how many beautiful women will be eager to become Zhao Shucheng's women. Before, they only thought about the three of them dividing the work to prevent other women from appearing around Zhao Shucheng, but they never thought that they could also drain him dry and make him lose the interest to flirt with other women.

"Okay, let's do it this way. We'll buy apartments in the same complex, preferably across from each other or on different floors, to ensure Xiaobai won't have the time or energy to look for someone else," Mo Xiaomin and Xiaoxue said in unison. (End of Chapter)
