Chapter 149: Gu Fei is Unhuman!
Two or three in the morning, the dead of night.
Even the dogs were asleep, but An Qingyan wasn’t.
He was wearing only a large shirt that didn’t belong to him, his body completely relaxed, lying on the bed, his half-closed eyelids drooping listlessly.
Too tired.
Training during the day had already been exhausting, and he was still being tossed around until midnight back in the room. Life is about exercise, but it couldn’t be like this. Gu Fei was simply inhuman.
Just as he was drifting off to sleep, the inhuman Mr. Gu came out of the bathroom. The man’s handsome face, radiating satisfaction, was completely devoid of any fatigue. After getting into bed, he hugged him and tucked him in.
He leaned down and kissed the young man’s hair, his magnetic voice low and husky, “Good night.”
“Mm… Remember to wake me up at eight tomorrow,” An Qingyan mumbled drowsily in the man’s arms. The embrace was warm and solid, and he quickly closed his eyes.
He needed to sleep before dawn.
…
Daybreak.
The eight o’clock alarm went off on time. A long, slender hand reached out from under the covers, fumbled around on the bedside table, found the vibrating phone, and ruthlessly turned off the alarm.
An Qingyan was half-asleep, unable to even open his eyes. The sunlight was blocked by the curtains; the room was dark. He mumbled softly, “What time is it?”
“Only six o’clock,” Gu Fei held the person in his arms, tightening his embrace, “Be good, sleep some more.”
“Mm…”
Then, An Qingyan slept until ten o’clock. When he saw the time and hurriedly got out of bed, the culprit was already washed and dressed, just coming out of the bathroom.
“Awake?”
An Qingyan looked at the man who was already dressed and putting on his watch, wanting to throw the pillow at him, but finally sighed helplessly, “Didn’t the alarm go off? Why didn’t you wake me up?”
“I’m already late.”
Crew training started at nine o’clock, he was already an hour late.
Gu Fei: “It’s okay, I called in sick for you.”
“What?” An Qingyan immediately widened his eyes in alarm, his sleepiness completely gone, “How did you do that?!”
He had said in the group chat yesterday that Mr. Gu left after changing clothes, but this morning, Mr. Gu, who was a stranger, had called in sick for him. How was he supposed to explain this?!
The man calmly put on his watch and walked slowly to the bedside. Standing by the bed, he looked down at the disheveled person on the bed, the corners of his lips slightly raised, “Said you were too tired and couldn’t get out of bed.”
An Qingyan: “…”
He clenched the edge of the pillow tightly. Just as he was about to throw it at Gu Fei, he heard him chuckle softly, “I’m kidding.”
Gu Fei bent down, looking at An Qingyan’s angry face, poked his fair cheek with his index finger, teasing, “How easily fooled are you?”
An Qingyan finally threw the pillow at him.
He was really scared by this man.
“I told Director Wu to give you all half a day off,” Gu Fei picked up the pillow, sat on the bed, and ruffled the young man’s hair, softly coaxing, “What? Still angry?”
An Qingyan said, “No… When did you say that?”
Gu Fei said, “Last night.”
An Qingyan: “…” Did this man plan this all along? Did he plan that he wouldn’t be able to get up today? He had been eyeing him all along?
He opened his phone and looked at the crew’s WeChat group. Wu Weiguang had indeed announced a half-day holiday in the group chat, and it was said last night, when he had no time to check his phone.
“Fei ge has to go to work now. Someone will send breakfast later. You rest well.” Remembering something, Gu Fei added, “As for Duan Ci, he won’t be appearing on set anymore.”
Whether Duan Ci could continue staying in the crew, or even in the industry, was just a matter of Gu Fei’s words.
Duan Ci had bought marketing rumors about An Qingyan getting the role through backdoor connections, and Gu Fei wanted to deal with him, but An Qingyan didn’t want him to interfere, so he gave up.
An Qingyan shook his head slightly, “Although I don’t like him, I don’t want to deal with him using your connections. I can handle it myself.”
Duan Ci was really annoying, but he only did some petty things behind his back. Even if he wanted to deal with him, he should do it himself, not rely on Gu Fei’s connections.
Besides, it was quite interesting to see Duan Ci gritting his teeth and unable to do anything.
Seeing the sly smile that suddenly appeared on the young man’s lips, Gu Fei looked at him suspiciously, tapping his forehead with his index finger, “What bad idea are you plotting?”
“Nothing. Aren’t you going to work? Go quickly.”
The man pointed to his lips, asking for a kiss.
An Qingyan: “I haven’t brushed my teeth yet.”
Gu Fei: “It’s okay.”
“Wait!” An Qingyan said, got out of bed, slipped on his slippers, and hurried into the bathroom, quickly washing up before running out and obediently kissing the man’s lips.
A kiss with a refreshing mint scent.
“Go.” The young man’s peach blossom eyes smiled slightly.

After breakfast, An Qingyan went back to bed to catch up on his sleep. He had replenished some of the energy he had lost last night, and after waking up, he did a math test.
At 2:30 pm, the training officially began, still at the suburban riding club.
An Qingyan felt that he had no interest in horse riding anymore. Hearing those words made him think of other things, so much so that as soon as he arrived at the riding club, he felt uncomfortable and even pulled up the collar of his sweater.
He was wearing a turtleneck sweater today.
The sun was shining brightly today, and he worked up a sweat after exercising for a while. Everyone else took off their jackets, but An Qingyan, whose face was covered with a thin layer of sweat from the heat, stubbornly refused to take off his sweater.
During the break, little Su Tang ran over, her big, dark eyes looking puzzled at An Qingyan, “Brother YanYan, aren’t you hot?”
An Qingyan: “…No.”
“You’re sweating,” Su Tang said, stuffing a small fan into his hand, smiling, “Use the fan to cool down.”
“Mm, thank you, Tangtang.”
An Qingyan turned on the fan and blew it on himself, feeling much more comfortable. He subconsciously pulled down the collar of his sweater to blow on his neck.
Duan Ci, sitting diagonally opposite, suddenly looked over and saw the marks on his neck, obvious marks that anyone would recognize.
No wonder he was wearing a turtleneck today, it was to cover it up. Duan Ci was instantly furious, crushing his drink bottle until it made a crackling sound.
It seemed they really did end up in bed while changing!
It’s infuriating!!
An Qingyan, you shameless bastard!
How could Gu Fei fall for you!!
Duan Ci’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, staring fiercely at the young man opposite him. If looks could kill, the other party would have died countless times.
An Qingyan had noticed Duan Ci’s expression. He pulled his collar back up, pretending nothing was wrong and continuing to blow the fan.
If he guessed correctly, Duan Ci was probably cursing him for being shameless in his heart, thinking he had seduced Gu Fei.
Gu Fei returned to Nancheng that night.
In the following days, whenever An Qingyan saw Duan Ci, he would receive the other’s hateful glare, more punctual than Gu Fei’s daily greetings.
Until the training ended, and he no longer had to be glared at.
However, they had to take publicity photos the day after the training ended. The drama would start filming soon, and they would be busy again.
The publicity photos were taken at a nearby studio.
Gu Fei later added another fifty million to the investment, so the crew was well-funded, and the costumes and props exuded a high-end quality. In particular, the styling for Shen Tinghan, the male lead, had more than ten sets of costumes alone.
An Qingyan sat in the makeup room, letting the makeup artist work on his face. The makeup artist looked closely at his face, thinking that Nüwa must have put a lot of effort into creating him. How could someone be this handsome!
She almost wanted to touch his face, but she held back, only sighing, “YanYan, your skin is so good, so fair and tender. And your face is so handsome!”
An Qingyan’s face was often complimented, but he still felt embarrassed. He smiled gently, not falsely modest, “It’s just good genes.”
Excessive modesty is hypocrisy.
“The importance of genes! Your brother is also incredibly handsome. Your face doesn’t need much modification; I’ll just give you light makeup.”
Styling alone took two hours. When An Qingyan came out of the makeup room in his costume, everyone was captivated by his appearance.
Qin He exclaimed, “Damn, An Qingyan, how can you be so handsome! A fairy descended to earth!!” Why couldn’t he have some of that good looks?!
Others also whispered among themselves.
“Amazing, truly amazing!”
“Isn’t this Shen Tinghan?”
“Shen Tinghan has a concrete image in my mind now.”
An Qingyan’s current look was Shen Tinghan’s early image. The young man wore an exquisite and luxurious headdress, his long hair falling behind him. His already handsome face, with light makeup, looked even more refined.
He wore a moon-white robe, exquisitely and intricately crafted, embroidered with delicate patterns, a jade pendant hanging from his waist, his figure tall and straight.
Shen Tinghan was naturally frail, and even more so after an accident in his youth that caused him to lose his sight. The young man’s figure was thin, fitting the image of a frail person.
An Qingyan’s appearance already had a somewhat aloof and beautiful quality. Now, when he wasn’t speaking, he exuded a cold aura, a sense of aloof distance, which made him even more suitable for the role of Shen Tinghan.
Truly breathtakingly stunning.
