037 “AV Shooting Guide” Chapter 36

36: Zhou Yuanchuan returns to China

After the shooting, Qiao Qiao packed up his things and left the studio without even daring to say another word to Cheng Xiu, who was already fully dressed.

Her face was burning, and she walked very fast. After a while, she arrived at the lobby on the first floor of the headquarters. When she reached the lobby, she belatedly remembered that she no longer lived in her original apartment, so she had to go back and continue taking the elevator.

Okay, maybe I walked too fast and my brain didn’t keep up…

The phone in her bag vibrated twice, and a text message informed Qiao Qiao that there was a package for her at the front desk. Qiao Qiao was confused as she turned a corner and returned to the front desk of the headquarters hall. After giving her work number and confirming her signature, she successfully received it——

A toy.

…

“Uh, do you know who sent it?”

“Sorry, it was sent by express. We are only responsible for collecting it.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Qiao Qiao walked back depressedly.

She looked around and found that no one was paying attention to her, so she found a secluded corner in the rest area and sat down, and began to open the cardboard box like a thief. For some reason, she always suspected that someone had sent it by mistake. It was probably a family with children at home, otherwise who would send toys to herself?It’s still this childish top toy.

The cardboard box was packed neatly. Inside was a square silver-white metal plate with smooth lines and fine workmanship. There were no traces of seams or carvings at all. It was almost a handicraft.Qiao Qiao couldn’t help but let out a “wow” sound, raised the board and looked at the light.This metal plate is really beautiful. If it wasn’t marked as a toy on the carton, Qiao Qiao would never have thought that it was a child’s thing.

She reluctantly put down the metal plate and took out the rest of the carton. It turned out to be a top, but this top was also silver-white, and it was obviously the same as the metal plate. Its shape was not as stupid as the common tops on the market. This top was very slender, with pointed tops and bottoms, like the skirt of a slender girl blown open by the wind.

Qiao Qiao was completely impressed by these two exquisite gadgets. She tried to spin the top on the metal plate, but the metal plate was too smooth. No matter how hard she tried, the small silver top could only spin one or two times before falling to the ground. She tried spinning on the glass table, on the floor, and even asked the front desk for a book to spin, but all ended in failure without exception.

A lady at the front desk reminded Qiao Qiao to pay attention to the instructions in the box. Qiao Qiao reached out and touched an inconspicuous piece of paper. It said that the metal table needed to be connected to the power supply. Qiao Qiao couldn’t wait to find a plug. After plugging in the metal plate, there was no obvious change. Qiao Qiao doubtfully turned the small silver top on it——

…

The top actually floated!

She was right. The little silver top slowly left the surface of the metal plate as if it suddenly came to life. It rose evenly about ten centimeters and then began to spin steadily in the air without any signs of fatigue. Qiao Qiao even moved the metal plate and found that it would follow the metal plate.

So magical, so magical, so magical… Is this really a toy for children?

As if he had discovered a new world, Qiao Qiao kept trying to fiddle with the spinning top in mid-air, having a great time.

The ringtone of the mobile phone suddenly rang at this time, and after the call was connected, a gentle and smiling male voice came: “Do you still like the gift?”

Qiao Qiao felt that this voice was very familiar for a moment, and after recalling it for two seconds, he said “Ah” in sudden realization.

“Ah…it’s Mr. Zhou!” Qiao Qiao was very surprised, “Have you come back from the United States?”

“Yes, I hope you are not angry about what happened last time. I was too anxious at that time.” The other party expressed her apology sincerely, which made Qiao Qiao’s last little discomfort disappear at once. She actually had a good impression of Zhou Yuanchuan. He always seemed to have no temper, he was elegant, and he had the aura of a scholar from a famous school. Just chatting with him felt like she benefited a lot.

“I just got off the plane at noon today. Can I invite you to dinner to apologize to you?” Zhou Yuanchuan still asked politely and politely. Although Qiao Qiao had only cooperated with him once, the other party’s tone made you feel as if you had known each other for many years, without feeling presumptuous or abrupt at all.

“…” But Qiao Qiao still hesitated.

“Isn’t it convenient?” The other party’s voice suddenly dropped, as if it was very depressed.

“…No, no!” Qiao Qiao tearfully said goodbye to his plan to play games at night, “I am now at the entrance of WAWA headquarters…”

“Then come out,” Zhou Yuanchuan smiled softly, “I’m at the door too.”

… …

Qiao Qiao repackaged the metal plate and top. As soon as she walked out of the front door, she saw Zhou Yuanchuan sitting in the car with half of the window rolled down and waving to her.

He was wearing a mid-collar sweater with dark green and white threads. He looked like a student who was still studying. A month of running around did not seem to make him tired. Instead, he seemed to be whiter than before he left. Faint cyan veins were printed on his arm that was leaning against the car window. He got out of the car like a gentleman and came around to help Qiao Qiao open the door. Qiao Qiao sat in a little awkwardly.

As soon as the car door closed, Zhou Yuanchuan suddenly leaned over and kissed Qiao Qiao gently.

An instant kiss was pressed on the lips, as light as a dragonfly touching water. After the kiss, the man pulled away and reversed the car as if nothing had happened. On the other hand, Qiao Qiao was stunned in his seat. The temperature on his face rose layer by layer, and a light red flush spread over his entire delicate face.

How, why suddenly…

“What’s wrong?” Zhou Yuanchuan glanced sideways at Qiao Qiao, pursed his lips and smiled as if he had just understood, “I’m sorry, I just came back from the United States and I’m used to it. Did it scare you?”

“It’s okay…” Qiao Qiao lowered his head as thin as a mosquito and murmured, “Mr. Zhou moved so quickly, I didn’t react at all…”

“I tend to move a little faster, especially when I find something valuable.”

After Zhou Yuanchuan finished speaking, he started the car as if nothing had happened, leaving Qiao Qiao a little confused about what he really meant. Fortunately, the other party did not let her think about it for too long. The car drove in the downtown area for a while and stopped in front of a high-end restaurant.

“We don’t want to eat here, Mr. Zhou!” Qiao Qiao turned around and warned anxiously after seeing the name of the restaurant clearly. “When I was in college, a friend of mine came over with his boyfriend for dinner. I ordered a pot of tea and charged them half a month’s living expenses.”

“It’s okay.” Zhou Yuanchuan smiled, “I have a coupon.”

“Oh, really?” Qiao Qiao was still a little hesitant, “This kind of restaurant shouldn’t have a lot of discounts, right?”

“But if you don’t use it today, it will expire.”

“Eh? Then I’ll go grab a seat quickly…”

As soon as the two entered the restaurant, a well-trained waiter came to greet them. It turned out that Zhou Yuanchuan had already reserved a seat, which made Qiao Qiao couldn’t help but look at him with admiration. He was still a logical person and was afraid that he would not be able to get a seat for the meal and waste the coupons, so he had called in advance to make a reservation.

“How have you been in the past month?” Zhou Yuanchuan poured some red wine for Qiao Qiao and asked seriously.

“Hmm… not bad.” Qiao Qiao scratched his head, “Actually, I want to thank you. The film I made with you received a very good response. Several directors have approached me one after another, and now I have gotten roles that I never dared to think of before.”

“No, it’s me who should thank you.” Zhou Yuanchuan stopped smiling and said seriously, “Really, you don’t know how precious you have brought me.”

“Really?” Qiao Qiao felt embarrassed, lowered his head and sipped wine to cover up.

“Maybe it’s a bit abrupt to ask this, but it’s been bothering me for a long time.” The man paused, “Well… do you have a boyfriend?”

‘Pfft’, Qiao Qiao, who was drinking, choked. Zhou Yuanchuan handed over a tissue, and Qiao Qiao hurriedly took it, “I’m sorry, I just couldn’t control my swallowing speed…”

“It’s okay.” The other party responded with a tolerant smile and continued to ask, “So do you have a boyfriend?”

“No…”

Zhou Yuanchuan smiled slightly.

“So how is Mr. Zhou’s life in the United States? I heard that academic work is tiring, right?” Qiao Qiao asked curiously.

“No, research is as relaxing and comfortable to me as playing games.”

“Wow.” Qiao Qiao started to look forward to it, “Isn’t that equivalent to playing games every day? Having money and games to play is simply the best living situation in the world. There are no worries at all, Mr. Zhou!”

“There are worries.” Zhou Yuanchuan has beautiful eyes. When he looks at someone so seriously and intently, it is difficult not to be attracted by his eyes. “You have to play better than others in the world and be more clever. Once the God of inspiration no longer favors you, every formula can become a noose to strangle you. ”

“Is that so? I thought only liberal arts needed inspiration…”

“When you stand high enough, you will find that you and your opponents are almost the same in every aspect, and calculations and experiments are meaningless at this time.”

“Well… it’s so profound.” Qiao Qiao stuffed a cream cake into his mouth and said with relief, “But I believe you will become the most powerful one.”

“Thank you.” Zhou Yuanchuan smiled, then can I pursue you?”
