Chapter 21: He should be his only, only to kiss and hug

XXI:

"Business." Chen Yu said.

Qing Ling didn't pursue the matter any further and only said, "You want to work even when you're going to sleep, you really love work."

He took off his shoes and got on the bed, crossing his long legs to Chen Yu's other side.

Chen Yu looked at his hair, which seemed to be still wet, and reached out to touch it.

"Dry your hair before you go to sleep." He said.

"It's fine." Qing Ling has never had this realization since she was a child, "I'm used to it, it doesn't matter if I do it or not."

"Won't you get a headache?" Chen Yu asked him.

Qing Ling shook her head, "No it won't."

Chen Yu looked at him skeptically.

Ling Qing Seeing this expression on his face, she thought about it, came closer to him and smiled, "I don't blow-dry mainly because I'm lazy, if you're willing to blow-dry it for me, baby, then I'll listen to you and blow-dry it before I go to sleep."

Chen Yu let out a laugh, "Your hair, what does it have to do with me, I'm not the one with the headache anyway."

Qing Ling smacks her lips, "So cruel, it really is a plastic couple."

He sighed and headed to lie down within the quilt, ''In vain, I was kind enough to lend you a bed for you to sleep in, and you didn't even blow out my hair for me. The world is really thin, the people are evil, the rain sends dusk flowers easily fall. The winds of the dawn are dry, and the tears are broken. I want to write down my heart, and speak alone in the slanting appendix. Difficult, difficult, difficult!"

Chen Yu: ......

Chen Yu was helpless, "Where's the hair dryer?"

Qing Ling pulled apart the nightstand and took it out and handed it to him with a good-natured look on her face.

Chen Yu looked at the good behavior on his face and moved closer to him, picking up his hair and blow-drying it for him.

Qing Ling is satisfied, "Am I the first person to let you blow-dry your hair?"

"What else?" Chen Yu asked rhetorically, "You're the only one who's lazy."

"What about laziness, the universal inertia of mankind. Because of laziness, human beings invented washing machines, dishwashers, sweeping robots and so on. So laziness is the ladder of human progress, you have to cherish every lazy person, it's because of them that many inventions and creations are made now."

"So you're saying I should praise you?"

"Of course not, I just wanted to tell you that lazy people are not guilty, long live science!"

Chen Yu lost his smile, "You really have a set of crooked reasoning, why didn't you become a lawyer if you are so eloquent? Why didn't you become a lawyer when you were so eloquent? You can turn black into white."

"I hate that I didn't learn the law back then, and it's useless to regret it now."

Chen Yu sniffed and asked, "What did you study in your major back then?"

"Finance." Qing Ling remembered that this was the original owner's major, but of course, he wasn't, he studied tourism management.

Chen Yu nodded, "Then do you still want to work in this field in the future?"

Qing Ling shook her head, "I'm not interested in that."

"So what are you interested in?"

"Acting." Qing Ling said truthfully.

Chen Yu was surprised, "Acting?"

Qing Ling nods, "I want to be an actress."

Seeing that the topic had come to this point, he stopped hiding and directly told Chen Yu about his intentions.

"If there's a suitable casting opportunity these days, I'd probably go to a casting call first, get my ticket to showbiz with that, and then audition for the show."

Chen Yu with a large number of tickets in hand: ......

"You still want to enter the draft?"

"It's the easiest and quickest way to get into showbiz, and how nice to have fans right out of the gate."

"You want to be traffic?"

Qing Ling shook her head.

"I want to be an actor, but you have to realize that only when you're popular do you have the chance to pick scripts and pick good ones. You don't have the traffic, you don't have the exposure, no one knows you, what's the use of acting as good as you are, no one can see you."

It's the truth.

Just ......

Chen Yu looked at him and frowned, really unable to understand, "Why?"

"Wouldn't it be nice to pick a company and work steadily? If you don't have a suitable company to go to, you can come to me first and I can teach you, isn't that good?"

"Fine and dandy, but I'm more interested in acting at the moment."

"But it's not like you studied acting? Can you act well?"

Of course I can, Qing Ling says, I'm a movie star.

Besides, "Are there fewer halfway decent actors these days? How many actors aren't halfway decent and end up doing well."

Chen Yu is still reluctant.

"Do you have to be an actor?"

Qing Ling asked him, "You don't want me to be an actress?"

Chen Yu looked at him and didn't say anything for a moment.

It's not that I don't want him to be, it's just that when I think of my own wife kissing and hugging other people, how does Chen Yu think about it, how is it awkward.

He had never been a generous character, especially with his spouse.

If he can manage to keep his distance from other people when he gets married, then it is only right that Qing Ling should keep her distance from other people too, isn't it?

At the very least, it's certainly not something to get too intimate about.

But Chen Yu couldn't say it.

He looked at Qing Ling and simply said, "I wish your job was more common and stable."

Qing Ling sniffed and gazed at him quietly for a moment without speaking.

The sound of the hair dryer whirred, and it wasn't long before Chen Yu finished blow-drying the last part of his hair, and he turned off the hair dryer and put it in the nightstand beside himself.

"Sleep." Chen Yu said.

Qing Ling nodded and got under the covers.

Chen Yu switched off the light and lay in as well.

In the darkness, Qing Ling could feel the warmth of her hair as she lay back on the pillow.

He and Chen Yu had been getting along quite well lately, so he didn't want to clash with Chen Yu.

But he didn't want to give up his job on that either.

He's good at acting, he likes acting, maybe one day when he's done acting, he'll look for a steady, normal job like Chen Yu said, but not now.

He thought for a moment, turned sideways, and called out softly, "Fishy."

Chen Yu let out a "hmm" and turned to look at him.

The darkness made it impossible to see the faces of the two men, and gave way to more tenderness and patience.

Qing Ling asked him, "You don't like me being an actor just because the job is unsettling?"

Chen Yu remained silent for a moment and responded to him, "Go to sleep first, it's getting late."

"Are you sleepy?" Qing Ling said thoughtfully, "Go to sleep then, we'll discuss it some other time."

When Chen Yu heard this, he only felt his mind become even more disturbed.

As a mature and sensible adult, he realized that he should not and had no right to interfere with Qing Ling's work.

Qing Ling, while being his spouse, is an independent individual who has the right to do whatever work he wants to do.

As long as you don't break the law.

However, he was not so mature and rational in this matter, and he clearly felt his rejection of the actor's identity.

He doesn't want Qing Ling to have intimate contact with other people where he can't see them, even if the plot requires it.

He was supposed to be only his, only to be kissed, hugged, and physically touched, not with other people, strangers he didn't know.

Chen Yu's possessiveness kept churning in his heart.

He reached out and touched Qing Ling's waist, took him into his arms, hugged him, kissed his forehead, and whispered, "Go to sleep, good night."
