Chapter 114: “I Only Care About You”

Page 1/3

“The week of filming has wrapped up. Once the microfilm is released, this will mark Xiaolin’s first step into the film industry, right?” Director Zhang opened the conversation.

“Yeah, I suppose so.” Lin Ze glanced sideways at the camera. “Maybe soon, there will be a film I both wrote and starred in.”

[Don’t say that. Lin Ze’s reputation in the music world is so good now; I’m really worried it might get ruined if he crosses over into acting.]

[No worries. Teacher Chen is the king of emperor roles. Lin Ze can become the queen of old lady roles—his reputation will never collapse.]

[Awesome, awesome.]

“So, who shares first today? Teacher Chen or Xiaolin?”

“We’ll go first!” Chen Weiguo waved his hand grandly.

Bai Qiong sipped her tea. “They all have songs now, but we don’t. We want songs too.”

The dishes had already been ordered, so they took this moment to start telling stories.

Lin Ze picked up the teapot and poured some water for the two of them.

“Actually, I’ve seen online people saying the two of us met through acting, but that’s not quite the case.”

Chen Weiguo tasted the tea, savoring it thoughtfully. Even the tea was quite good.

“Before, we had worked together, but we just knew each other, not even friends.”

“We actually met later, when I went back to my hometown for New Year. My family was pressuring me to go on a blind date, saying the other person was also an actor. I really had no choice, so I went.”

“A blind date?” Lin Ze was surprised. He had heard some gossip before, but never knew they met that way.

“Yes. At that time, both of us were somewhat well-known. We wore masks and sunglasses tightly, and after a few words, I kept feeling the other person’s voice sounded familiar…”

Bai Qiong covered her mouth, chuckling softly. “He absolutely refused to take off his mask, acting like he was some big shot.”

Chen Weiguo’s face flushed. “You didn’t take yours off either! I had just gotten a bit popular, so I was being careful.”

“Honestly, there’s no big story between us. After that meeting, we started chatting regularly, and eventually naturally got together.” Bai Qiong recalled their love story in her mind.

“We’ve had fights too. Once, we argued so fiercely that we went to the civil affairs office to get a divorce. But when we reached the door, we both thought it was unnecessary and turned back.”

“For our lives, apart from acting, it’s been pretty ordinary.”

Lin Ze knew that Chen Weiguo and Bai Qiong had a son who had recently entered the film industry, only a year or two younger than himself.

Once I become famous, I’ll definitely take care of my little brother.

“Um… is the story over?” Ji Chen waited a moment, then asked curiously when there was no follow-up.

“That’s it.” Chen Weiguo smiled. “Not everyone’s story has dramatic twists; ordinary life is also part of living.”

“Well said!” Lin Ze clapped enthusiastically.

Everyone else quickly joined in the applause.

“All right, all right, what about the song!” Chen Weiguo pressed Lin Ze’s clapping hands down.

Only then did Lin Ze realize he hadn’t brought his guitar.

An awkward moment settled over them.

Everyone in the private room exchanged glances just as the waiter arrived to serve the dishes.

“Wait! I have a solution!”

Lin Ze spoke briefly with the waiter, who nodded. Soon, several cups were brought over.

Lin Ze picked up the teapot and poured water into the cups, tapping them as he poured, quickly tuning them by ear.

“You have this skill too?”

Ji Chen was amazed. He could recognize piano and guitar tunes, but not so much water glasses.

“Just a neat little trick, nothing special!” Lin Ze said, but a proud smile crept onto his face.

“Oh, look at you, tail wagging like a puppy.”

Su Zitan found Lin Ze’s expression adorable and pinched his cheek.

“Okay, okay, fan, please don’t get too excited and disturb the musician.” Lin Ze seriously pulled Su Zitan’s hand away.

With a chopstick in hand, Lin Ze gently tapped the glasses.

The rhythm of the song was lively.

“If I hadn’t met you, where would I be?”

“How have the days been? Is life meant to be cherished?”

“Maybe meeting someone, living ordinary days.”

“Not sure if there’ll be love as sweet as honey~”

The song stirred a sudden nostalgia in both of their hearts.

Its style was reminiscent of a decade ago.

That gentle affection spread softly, carrying a touch of warmth.

“Let time hurry by, I only care for you.”

“Willingly breathing in your scent.”

“How rare it is in life to find a soulmate.”

“Losing the strength to live is no regret.”

[So beautiful, amazing! Likes/likes/roses/]

[For a moment, I thought it was an old song my parents listened to, but it’s really lovely!]

[You can always trust Lin Ze!]

“So I beg you, please don’t let me leave you.”

“Except you, I feel nothing.”

“A trace of affection.”

Lin Ze smiled and winked at Su Zitan.

[Really, I’ve been watching this live stream for three weeks, and it’s the first time my mom came over to grab my phone.]

[Me too! My mom came over asking what song it was.]

Director Zhang looked around at the eight people and then at the cameraman.

Sigh...

How about we just make do for now?

...

“Strange, it sounds like someone singing next door? The voice sounds a lot like Lin Ze.”

Zhang Yang was puzzled.

“Zhang Yang, why are you thinking about Lin Ze every day now?”

A fan girl blinked. “Don’t worry, Lin Ze’s nothing. Once my brother releases another song, he’ll definitely beat Lin Ze!”

“Of course, that’s a song Old Shi wrote for me. Lin Ze’s just lucky.”

Zhang Yang waved his hand dismissively, but inwardly felt a bit intimidated.

Lin Ze isn’t human; how did he write that song...

Forget it, none of my business. Let Dad fight him.

“Come on, little sister, one more round.”

Zhang Yang raised his glass and clinked it with the fan girl.

“Zhang Yang, the food’s not here yet, and we’re just drinking…”

“First a toast, then I’ll take you home to the private cinema~”

Soon the dishes arrived.

They ate and chatted, but the soundproofing in this private room wasn’t as good as before. Voices from the next room kept drifting in.

Especially one voice—it was too much like Lin Ze’s.

Hearing that voice made it hard for Zhang Yang to enjoy his meal.

“I’m going to the restroom...” Zhang Yang thought for a moment. “Little sister, can you check if it’s Lin Ze next door?”

“Ah?” The fan girl was a little tipsy and dizzy now. After thinking a moment, she said, “Okay, fine.”
