DCFRP Chapter 85

TL: Hua

---

Xun Qian has been coming frequently recently, sometimes driving a Porsche, sometimes driving a Maybach.

The driver always stood outside the car door in a snow-white brand new uniform, waiting for Qi Xiaoyu to get in.

This stunt is very high-profile and eye-catching.

But it’s not that big of a deal. Qi Xiaoyu has no family, is good-looking, and is just the right age, so it would be strange if he doesn’t have suitors.

For example, in the crew, he received affection from many. People often brought him breakfast, came to talk to him, and invited him to dinner together after filming; unfortunately, these people didn’t get a response from him.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the crew already planned to finish work early so that everyone can go on dates or reunite with their families.

Earlier in the day, when they were still putting on makeup, Chu He came over and invited Qi Xiaoyu to go out after work. “There’s a sci-fi movie being played tonight. I bought two tickets; do you want to go and watch it together?”

Qi Xiaoyu lifted his face slightly, waiting for the layer of stuff on his face to dry. While doing so, he apologized and told him he already had an appointment.

Chu He had asked Qi Xiaoyu out a few times recently and was rejected, but he was very patient and would make another appointment with Qi Xiaoyu every time.

Today, seeing Qi Xiaoyu’s radiant appearance, Chu He couldn’t help asking, “Do you like that Mr. Xun very much?”

He remembered that at the banquet the other day, Qi Xiaoyu and Xun Qian weren’t on such good terms, so he thought he had a chance to try.

Qi Xiaoyu nodded without any intention to hide it.

Chu He sighed almost inaudibly and asked, “Then if I invite you out as a friend in the future, will you agree?”

Qi Xiaoyu, “Yes, if I have time.”

Not only Chu He is curious about the relationship between Qi Xiaoyu and Xun Qian, the same goes for other people in the crew.

Gradually, some rumors about Qi Xiaoyu came out.

Of course, at the moment, the most important thing is to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

When Xun Qian was sitting in the car waiting for the person, he remembered what Butler Cheng had urged him to do before he went out.

Butler Cheng said, “Today is a good day. If you can, make sure he didn’t leave. Otherwise, it’s a waste of time to come and go. It will make Xiao Hei sad as well.”

Butler Cheng glanced at Xun Qian’s expression while speaking and added the most important words, “Third Master, I see that you and Mr. Qi have been getting along well during this period. Mr. Qi cares a lot about your rehabilitation. Why don’t you try…”

Xun Qian leaned on the car window with one hand supporting his head and thinking about this matter. He knew that the part Butler Cheng didn’t say was remarriage.

But it’s important to tread this matter carefully.

He has never asked how Qi Xiaoyu had that thing¹The divorce certificate that Ma Chi gave him. in his hand in the first place.

But it’s hard to ask now, and he had even signed first.

Before he could come up with a conclusion, Qi Xiaoyu appeared.

Qi Xiaoyu had just removed his makeup. His face was white and clean, and his hair was slightly wet. As soon as he got into the car, Xun Qian pulled him over and kissed him, then took out a few cotton towels and carefully helped Qi Xiaoyu dry the moisture on his head.

The driver quietly looked away, and when he saw that the two were settled, he drove home.

On the other side, the Xun family was as lively as the New Year.

In the morning, all the servants were busy.

Mama Li started preparing three days in advance, stocking the refrigerator full of various ingredients. Some that could not be piled up were placed on the floor.

While directing the gardener to clean the lawn and garden, Butler Cheng asked people to wash all the utensils that Qi Xiaoyu had used and put them in place one by one.

White-browed Hero ran up and down with everyone. He didn’t know what was going to happen, but when he saw so many delicious foods in the kitchen and everyone walking around, he was so excited that all four paws almost never touched the ground.

When Qi Xiaoyu and Xun Qian came back, White-browed Hero was even more excited.

Qi Xiaoyu had just opened the car door when White-browed Hero rushed over at the speed of light to pounce on him; his tail left a residual shadow.

Qi Xiaoyu had no time to get out of the car. As soon as half of his foot stepped on the ground, he was pounced back into the car by White-browed Hero.

Fortunately, Xun Qian was behind him.

Qi Xiaoyu leaned into Xun Qian’s arms, laughing. He hugged White-browed Hero’s neck, called him “poor little thing,” and coaxed him for a long time before the dog was willing to get off him.

Then they got out of the car together and walked towards the dining room.

As soon as the door was opened, the aroma of food in the kitchen rushed out.

It’s dark outside, and the smell of food is rich inside.

It feels like home.

Qi Xiaoyu opened the sliding door of the kitchen and went to help Mama Li.

Mama Li asked him to go back and sit down, but he refused. For him, cooking wasn’t a chore but a hobby.

But when he came in, Xun Qian also followed him in. As a result, Mama Li became very restrained.

The most terrible thing was that White-browed Hero also followed them in, tiptoed on his two hind paws, reached for the food on the stove, and wanted to lick everything he saw.

If he was locked out, he would keep scratching the door.

Qi Xiaoyu had to take the two troublemakers out of the kitchen and bring them to the living room to watch TV together.

When Mama Li started serving the food on the table, she took the two troublemakers to eat.

They ate like they used to at home, but more affectionately than before.

After dinner, they went to the lawn to enjoy the moon.

On the lawn, the big parasol was put away.

Instead, there were lounge chairs padded with cushions and a large stack of mooncakes cut into small pieces placed on the wooden table; each mooncake was forked with a small fork. There were also several plates of cut fruits.

The cool breeze in the October night was very pleasant.

The fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus floated in the air, refreshing the heart.

The bright moon in the sky was like a jade disk, illuminating everything in the world.

However, White-browed Hero’s claws were always eager to reach into the mooncake plate on the table.

Qi Xiaoyu had no choice but to drag the dog into his arms and hold him up.

The doctor said that White-browed Hero had to control his weight and not eat too much.

After eating mooncakes for a while, Qi Xiaoyu got a bottle of wine from somewhere, like a magic trick, and asked Butler Cheng to bring two small porcelain cups and fill them up. “Come and try it; I brewed it myself.”

Xun Qian was a little curious. “When did you brew it?”

Qi Xiaoyu didn’t say anything, just smiled slightly. “You don’t have to worry about it, the Mid-Autumn Festival should be served with osmanthus wine.”

He had wanted to stay here for a long time once upon a time, and when he was preparing for Xun Qian’s birthday, he thought of a lot of dishes and prepared them along the way, asking Mama Li help to watch the brewing process.

This osmanthus wine has a low alcohol content. In addition to osmanthus, it was also soaked with some Chinese medicinal herbs, with a light yellow color and a rich aroma.

Moreover, osmanthus wine isn’t like ordinary wine that is bad for the body. This one has the effect of strengthening the spleen and replenishing deficiency.

Brewing wine is not something that can be done in a short period of time. Xun Qian thought of this, and his already good mood became even better. He hasn’t celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival for many years. Since Qi Xiaoyu came, he feels that every day of the year is special, full of vitality and ritual.

Living life like a poem is the most appropriate way to describe Qi Xiaoyu.

They both drank a few cups and chatted for a while. The topic revolved around White-browed Hero in Qi Xiaoyu’s arms.

Xun Qian wanted to talk about something else but felt that it was not the right time.

Then the two stayed on the lawn until past nine o’clock. Qi Xiaoyu was a little sleepy and said he wanted to take a shower.

Xun Qian was half-lying in the chair, looking at Qi Xiaoyu like a lazy cat. He said that he also wanted to go back inside and asked Qi Xiaoyu to pull him up and help him back to the wheelchair.

Xun Qian has been like this recently. He used the excuse that his legs were not good and asked Qi Xiaoyu to help him wherever he went. Whenever he moved, he had to find Qi Xiaoyu.

Butler Cheng and a group of servants who stayed down the corridor from afar watched as Third Master Xun, who could obviously walk with his straight and long legs, was half-supported and half-carried into the wheelchair.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk.

The servants all thought: No wonder Mr. Qi was still brought back by their boss after going around in circles. His acting skills are beyond reproach. Perhaps he can even compete with Mr. Qi as an actor.

After the two came back from the lawn, Butler Cheng watched Qi Xiaoyu arrive on the second floor, turn into the corridor, and head toward what was once his room before he walked over to Xun Qian’s side and asked quietly, “Third Master, have you mentioned the remarriage?”

Xun Qian said nothing.

Butler Cheng was anxious. “Don’t waste this great night, Third Master.”

Xun Qian tightened his grip.

 

****

Half an hour later, Xun Qian called Qi Xiaoyu and asked him if he had taken a bath.

Qi Xiaoyu was drying his hair, and the sound of a hair dryer came from the microphone.

Xun Qian asked, “Can you come to my room after you blow dry your hair?”

Qi Xiaoyu smiled, “Why come to your room?”

Xun Qian also smiled, “The moon in my room is brighter.”

His voice was sultry and lazy. It’s frustrating to make that kind of invitation through a phone call in the middle of the night.

Qi Xiaoyu deliberately asked, “Is that so? But don’t we live in the same house?”

Xun Qian smiled and said, “I’m one floor higher, four meters closer to the moon. It should be brighter.”
