Three Combs: Chapter 35.2

[Previous][Table of Contents][Next]

The lights were turned on, instantly filling the room.

Fu Ting Chuan had changed into a set of comfy clothes while Jiang Tiao put on the shirt Fu Ting Chuan brought her to change into. It is large and long so it covered her legs.

Fu Ting Chuan rummaged through the kitchen. He said he was hungry and wanted to eat a late-night snack.

Jiang Tiao leaned back into the soft pillow and called out to him, “You already brush your teeth and you still want to eat?!”

The sound of rummaging stopped. After a while, the sound of oil frying and the microwave door slamming can be heard.

Later, the man brought out a plate of Western food. The two pieces of eggs are beautifully fried. He also had a cup of hot milk in his hand. He handed the cup to Jiang Tiao and answered her question, “I didn’t eat much earlier. Also, I used up a lot of energy early so I need to replenish my strength.”

Jiang Tiao, “.....”

She coldly stared at him and took a sip of the milk. It is fragrant and whole fat.

Jiang Tiao returned the cup of milk back to Fu Ting Chuan. He didn’t go back to his side of the bed. Instead, he sat at her side and put the plate and cup on the bedside table.

He put a towel in front of Jiang Tiao and cut a piece of egg white. He picked it up with a fork and put it in front of her mouth as if he is feeding a child, “Ah–––”

Jiang Tiao gave him a dissatisfied look and wrinkled her nose. However, she still opened her mouth.

Fu Ting Chuan moved his hand back and put it in his mouth with a face full of smiles.

“You––––” Childish! She slapped his shoulder.

“Okay, okay.” He cut another piece, this time it is bigger than the previous one. He went to feed her again.

Jiang Tiao turned her head away. She won’t fall for it again.

“I’m really giving it to you this time.” Fu Ting Chuan promised, “I swear. Hurry, it’s getting cold.”

Jiang Tiao turned back and looked at him with disbelief.

He moved the fork around, tempting her with the scent.

“Then I’ll believe you this time, only this time!” She raised her index finger and warned him.

Fu Ting Chuan seriously nodded.

Jiang Tiao slowly leaned over.

The result was!

The man moved the fork away once again! He put it in his mouth and pecked her lips.

“Aiya! Why are you so evil!”

The end result was, he was punched by the girl’s fist.

Of course, the punch has no effect on him. It was like a mosquito bite to him but his heart was filled with love.

The next day, they woke up before the sky has brightened and returned to Hengdian at around 6 in the morning.

Fu Ting Chuan parked the car by the hotel entrance and unlocked the car door. When Jiang Tiao was about to get out, he locked it once again.

Jiang Tiao released the handle, “What is it?”

Fu Ting Chuan turned off the engine and leaned back in his seat, “Sit with me for a while.”

“Are you leaving today?” She asked.

“No.” Fu Ting Chuan shook his head, “I asked for a leave of absence.”

“How long?”

“A week. I will be staying at Dongyang.”

“Because of me….?” Although Jiang Tiao is clear of the reason, she still wants to ask.

“What do you think.” Because Fu Ting Chuan has astigmatism, he has to wear glasses when driving. His narrowed eyes can be seen through his lens, evidently showing his emotion.

“I say yes…..” She mischievously replied.

“Then that’s it.” Fu Ting Chuan smiled, instantly filling his face with gentleness.

“Then don’t come to pick me up anymore. There are many people at Hengdian who can easily recognize you at a glance.” She is inevitably still worried.

“Okay.” He took off his glasses and put them aside. He seemed to want to look at her in detail, “What about you?”

“Me?”

“You want to leave me alone at Xu Che’s cold and desolate house? Unable to go out the door?”

Jiang Tiao let out a laugh, “Yes, it is your empty nest.”

This girl. Fu Ting Chuan gave her cheek a pinch. Hearing her pain and protest, he sighed and use his finger to rub her cheek to soothe the reddening skin.

“Okay–––” She grabbed his hand and gently held it, “I will take the bus over every day after work to accompany you, OK?”

“Deal.”

“Have you resolved your meal issue?”

“Naturally someone will send it over.”

“Who?”

“Spendthrift.”

At the same time, Xu Che who was squatting on a toilet in a five-star hotel in Dongyang let out a sneeze.

What’s going on? He doesn’t have a cold though.

Is someone cursing him?

He has a house here but doesn’t want to go! Instead, he chose to stay at this expensive hotel! What’s more, he orders takeout for all three meals of the day!

Back in the car.

Jiang Tiao can probably guess who this “spendthrift” Fu Ting Chuan is talking about.

She swung his hand with joy plastered on her face, “Don’t bother Assistant Xu like this….I see there are pots and induction cookers in the kitchen. Before coming over, I can go to the supermarket to buy groceries. Call Xu Che over this evening and we can eat hot pot. The weather today is perfect for this.”

Fu Ting Chuan wordlessly stared at her and quietly accepted her words. There is a feeling of warmth in her words that feels so surreal that he is reluctant to destroy it.

“Is it okay?” Jiang Tiao asked.

“Yes.” He tightened his grip on her hand and answered with no hesitation.

**

After dating, Jiang Tiao found her ability to lie had increased.

When Sun Qing asked her where she was last night, she can calmly responds, “There are some relatives to come to Hengdian for an excursion. They’re old so my parents told me to take care of them. I stayed with them for the night and told them about the fun attractions in the area….”

Just like this, she avoided the conflict.

She went back to the dressing room and started the day’s work.

While she was putting on “Li Longji’s” makeup, she could feel Master’s eyes staring at her. He looks like he wants to say something to her but is holding himself back.

When she looked at him questioningly, he smiled and said nothing.

Strange. Jiang Tiao looked down and quickly finished her work.

Yuan Yang also went on set for today’s filming.

He was wearing a white sweater with jeans rolled above the ankle and velvet loafers.

The sun covered his entire body. The skin of his neck and the collar of his shorts are almost the same color, white to the point it is transparent.

Yuan Yang is too abnormal today. Jiang Tiao would glance at him from time to time. His hands would be in his pockets and his brows are slightly wrinkled. Unlike his usual refreshed self, he seemed to be plagued with a lot of trouble.

During the break, the director treated everyone to Starbucks.

Jiang Tiao couldn’t help herself. She grabbed a cup for herself and gave another to Yuan Yang, “Here.”

Yuan Yang took it and directly sat down on the steps behind him.

Jiang Tiao sat next to him, shoulder to shoulder as she sipped her coffee.

Jiang Tiao got straight to the point, “Master, you’re acting strange today? What's going on?”

Her mouth is still filled with the hot fragrance of coffee.

“Nothing.” Yuan Yang held the cup in both his hands and looked out to the distance, “But it also can’t be counted as nothing.”

Jiang Tiao breathed out a sigh of relief, “Don’t leave me in suspense, what is it?”

“It is related to you.” He glanced at her sideways.

“Me?” Jiang Tiao pointed to herself in surprise.

“Don’t worry, it doesn’t have anything to do with that man by your side. It is something that I, as a teacher, have to say to my student.” His voice turned serious as if he has something big to announce.

For some reason, she felt the severity of this matter…... Master rarely talks to them like this. Jiang Tiao’s heart thumped, “Say it.”

Yuan Yang set the coffee aside.

Anyway, he seems unable to face his apprentice face to face as he says this because these words are not true to his heart.

He, who has been in the business for almost twenty years, has always been frank with his words, never deceiving, never flattering. But this time, his words are caught in his throat.

The sun shining cause Yuan Yang to squint his eyes.

Then, Jiang Tiao heard him speak.

“Jiang Tiao, you have learned almost everything. Have you ever thought about leaving Master’s studio and spreading your own wings?”
