Don’t Wait for Your Boyfriend in the Crematorium

Qingyue and Qu Chong were discussing and explaining on this side, so Ren Shuhan originally thought that handling Chu Lu would be easy. He planned to divert him for a moment, asking him to go find the person in charge at the company. However, things didn’t go as planned.

 

At the beginning, Chu Lu had agreed, but after taking just a few steps, he turned back with teary eyes and asked, “Brother Jiang, are you going to abandon me?”

 

As a cannon fodder character, Chu Lu’s characterization in the original story was quite distinct.

 

Unlike Qu Chong, he was fine as a tool character. And Chu Lu, similar to Jiang Qingyue as the cannon fodder protagonist, was focused on the role of “incessantly entangling” with someone. Jiang Qingyue’s role was to relentlessly entangle Shi Xi, while Chu Lu’s role was to relentlessly entangle Jiang Qingyue, constantly creating trouble for the main character.

 

Now, the target of his trouble-making had become Ren Shuhan.

Ren Shuhan was speechless.

 

He really wanted to facepalm, but he was holding his wife in his arms, so he couldn’t let go.

 

Anxious, Jiang Qingyue waved his hand to explain, “I have no relationship with him whatsoever!”

 

Ren Shuhan motioned for him with his eyes: Baby, I know.

But your explanation sounds too much like that of a scumbag. Let your husband handle this for you.

 

“Jiang Qingyue is mine, so keep your distance from him from now on,” Ren Shuhan said in his typical overbearing CEO tone.

 

Chu Lu dramatically covered his mouth. “I don’t believe it! Brother Jiang, you clearly don’t like his type, how could you act this way? You’ve already broken up with Shi Xi, yet I still can’t have a chance? Did he threaten you?”

 

Jiang Qingyue: “No…”

 

Chu Lu: “I don’t believe it, I don’t!”

Qu Chong, on the side, was adding chaos. Suddenly, he pulled Chu Lu back by the arm, placing him next to the wheelchair.

 

In an instant, Chu Lu snapped out of it, his face turning as red as an explosion. “I-I’m sorry, I’m leaving now.”

 

But just as he took a step, he turned back around. “Brother Jiang, you must be forced into this! Didn’t you say you only trusted me?!”

 

Jiang Qingyue: “I didn’t….”

 

Chu Lu: “I won’t listen, I won’t!”

 

Qu Chong pulled him back again, Chu Lu: “…”

 

Ren Shuhan: “…Enough playing!”

 

Do you, Mr gentle gong, even have a bit of sympathy left?

Qu Chong looked wronged. He wasn’t playing around, he just wanted to conduct a little experiment. Now that he was done trying, he let go of Chu Lu…

 

Only to realize how darn small this circle really was!

 

He needed to stick close to the big shot; the only way to survive was to become an ultra-bright, self-illuminating light bulb, shining day and night above the head of the big boss and his man.

 

Normally, being within a range of one meter was acceptable for people to interact. However, Ren Shuhan was the ultimate big boss among big shots and used a wheelchair. If anyone got too close, they would have to look down at him, so most people instinctively took a couple of steps back to be able to talk to him while keeping their heads down. This was why Chu Lu was dancing around the edge of this circle.

 

“Are you messing with me?” He glared at Qu Chong as if he was looking at a lunatic, then turned to Jiang Qingyue to complain, “Brother Jiang, I just want to know, why hasn’t it been my turn yet?”

 

Jiang Qingyue also caught on a little and shrunk into Ren Shuhan’s embrace, whispering weakly, “I’m sorry, actually, I’m… um, a bottom. You should give up.”

 

The air froze once again.

 

Ren Shuhan used to find these soap opera-like situations annoying, but whenever he heard Jiang Qingyue speak, he couldn’t help but smile. He whispered softly in Jiang Qingyue’s ear, “Baby, so you chose me just because I’m a top?”

 

Jiang Qingyue’s ears turned red from his breath but he still obediently leaned closer to his ear and replied in a hushed tone, “I lied to him. For you, I can be a gong.”

 

Ren Shuhan: “…………”

 

No need for that, really, it’s not necessary.

 

He deeply realized that he needed to quickly resolve this farce.

 

“Let me go, I’ll deal with him quickly,” Jiang Qingyue said shyly, “Come on, don’t be like this, it’s so inappropriate.”

 

“No,” Ren Shuhan found his capabilities being questioned by his wife, how could he endure this? “I’ll handle it.”

 

Jiang Qingyue looked at him admiringly, a little shy and a little proud. He thought to himself, that this was truly his little uncle, and he saw Ren Shuhan clear his throat, using a very reliable deep voice to say:

 

“Wen Xin.”

 

Jiang Qingyue:…

 

You’ve worked hard.

 

Wen Xin instantly understood, stepping towards Chu Lu as if to usher him out, “Sir, please come with me.”

 

How could Chu Lu agree? But he was pinned by her and couldn’t move, struggling desperately. Eventually, he was dragged away.

 

“Off you go,” Ren Shuhan urged Qu Chong to push the wheelchair, indicating the way, “There’s a car waiting over there.”

 

Qu Chong thought: “Is he really abandoning this silly, silly little follower? That’s so heartless, truly a ruthless big shot.” He pushed the wheelchair swiftly and got into the car.

 

After all, for a big shot to save him, it might already be an act of great mercy.

 

On the other side, at the end of the corridor.

 

Shi Xi had just stood in the room in a daze for a long time, and now he had just come out. As soon as he stepped out, he saw Chu Lu being dragged away by Wen Xin. Suddenly, he understood something:

 

Ren Shuhan was venting for himself!

 

He must have planned to get Jiang Qingyue, that scumbag, back for interrogation first, and now he let Wen Xin deal with Chu Lu. Oh my, it’s truly too aggressive…

 

He loved it!

 

He wanted exactly this kind of concrete action to back up the words, decisive and efficient, truly fitting for a paranoid big shot’s character.

 

Sure enough, Wen Xin carried Chu Lu along the corridor and into a fitting room. Chu Lu was still saying things like “Ren Shuhan is a jerk,” “I don’t care about his status,” and “How could he treat me like this?”

 

Shi Xi: Oh my, this is so tragic.

 

In the lobby at the end, there were a bunch of clothes hanging around, all scattered and messy. Many models were already dressed and gossiping:

 

“Why hasn’t Chu Lu finished his styling? Does he not want to work?”

 

“He’s so daring, isn’t he? He dares to call that big shot by name?”

 

“What? The big shot from the Lu family is here too?”

 

“Wow, this is the closest I’ve been to a legend. I really can’t understand Shi Xi. He knows that this big shot is related to his ex-boyfriend and he’s handsome and wealthy. Why did he break up with his ex-boyfriend?”

 

“Shi Xi said he was played by Chu Lu. But I remember his ex treated him really well and never paid attention to Chu Lu.”

 

“This… seems like Chu Lu’s good days are over.”

 

“Is he going to be cemented1You know, like in those mafia movies…where someone suddenly disappears … And they find a body in concrete…the equivalent of sleeping with the fish lol?”

 

After the chaos settled down for a while, Chu Lu noticed Shi Xi and gave up struggling.

 

The character Chu Lu was designed in a way that he had no other purpose in life other than clinging to Jiang Qingyue and taunting Shi Xi whenever he encountered him. He needed to be extravagant in his actions to highlight how miserable he became later on, contrasting with how sophisticated and indifferent Shi Xi had become.

 

So, he didn’t want to argue with Wen Xin anymore (as a grown man, it would be somewhat embarrassing to argue with her in front of so many colleagues), and he shifted his attention to Shi Xi.

 

“Ah, why haven’t you finished styling your hair yet?” Chu Lu looked Shi Xi up and down. “Originally, not many shows were looking for you, and now that you don’t have Brother Jiang to cover for you, if you’re not dedicated to this show, what are you going to do after graduation? How about you become my little assistant in the future?”

 

Shi Xi: …You’ll be the one begging to take care of me!

 

This is just how my character is!

 

“You didn’t do your hair either, did you? Didn’t you run off earlier and then got beaten up and brought back?” Shi Xi said coldly.

 

“Oh, I forgot to mention,” Chu Lu smiled slightly, “I’m not leaving today. I’m letting the substitute take my place. I’m busy right now negotiating the specific details of my contract. I’m going to switch to become an artist in the future.”

 

In the room filled with young models, most of whom were their classmates, they all looked over:

 

“Wow! 6662It’s slang for “so cool” or “nice”…”

 

“Should I go get his autograph now? It might be worth something in the future.”

 

“Just now, we were saying that Chu Lu was done for, but now he’s got a chance for a comeback. Maybe this is just life.”

 

“But being an artist isn’t all that great either. You have to sign with a company, and even if it’s a small studio, there might not be much future. I know a few companies that approached Qu Chong, and those are the real big shots. Does Chu Lu really have that kind of potential?”

 

“So, it’s better not to judge too soon. No matter where he goes, if he offends that big shot, he’ll get blacklisted.”

 

Shi Xi was full of question marks.

 

How come it’s different from the original storyline again?

 

With a flick of his hair, Chu Lu turned around gracefully. “If you can’t make it in the future, you can come find me. Since you’re my classmate, I’ll help you out. Oh, right, I almost forgot to mention, the company I signed with is actually Brother Jiang’s third uncle’s company~”

 

Everyone:

 

“Whoa!”

 

“What’s going on?”

 

“Could he really have hooked up with Shi Xi’s ex?”

 

“No way, based on what he said just now, could he have directly hooked up with the big shot from the Lu family???”

 

“Don’t say that, it kind of smells like a love-hate relationship.”

 

Shi Xi was completely baffled.

 

What?

 

He was aware that this green tea b*tch had always been quite high-level, but it was one thing to hook up with his ex-boyfriend, and now he’s talking about hooking up with his future boyfriend? What’s going on?

 

Meanwhile, in the car, Ren Shuhan turned his head and sneezed.

 

Jiang Qingyue: “…Can you let go of me now?”

 

Ren Shuhan: “…Can you let go of me too?”

 

Qu Chong (scratching his head): “Hehehehe…”

 

 

I have a feeling Jiang Qingyue is gonna regret his line about being a top for Ren Shuhan in the near future hehe (>ᴗ•)

Also Qu Chong, he’s really funny in this lol, I’m enjoying seeing Ren Shuhan despairing.
