Chapter 16

Lin Zixi had not thought of investigating the cause of death of his blood-related little uncle, but according to the meaning of Gu Zecheng's words, it was probably related to drunk driving.

The gold master daddy lost his own younger brother in a car accident, which probably still left a trauma in his heart—no wonder he always asked him to wear a seat belt, even if he sat in the back seat.

Young actor Lin buckled his seat belt while thinking meanderingly. But he was drunk now, and his mind was fuzzy. After trying several times, he was still unable to successfully insert the latch piece into the buckle, and he could not help but get a little twitchy.

At this moment, his hands were suddenly held by a pair of hands that were slightly larger and warmer than his. He moved a little to the side, and before he could react, his hands were already released.

It took several seconds for Lin Zixi to realize that Gu Zecheng had just helped him buckle his safe belt and to say thanks.

But he said "thanks" too late. Dad Gu thought this thanks was for the dinner tonight, so he replied, "Don't mention it. Just learn well from Zhou Fan later…. Don't let me see your current level of acting in your next drama."

Young actor Lin thought for a while and felt that the gold master daddy looked beautiful and thought beautifully, too.

"That..." He hesitated for a while and still popularized the science to his dad, "TV series can't be aired right after filming. Besides The Legend of Concubine Ling that I’m currently filming, I also have two other dramas that have already been filmed and are waiting to be aired. One of them is already set to be aired on both S TV and J TV two months later…. Even if my acting skills are improving at lightning speed, you probably have to wait for the next-next-next drama to see it."

Gu Zecheng obviously didn’t expect that there were actually such things as ‘waiting-to-be-aired dramas’ and ‘stockpile’ in this world. After a moment of stunned silence, he asked, "What kind of drama is the one that will be aired next January?"

Young actor Lin blinked his eyes, "Modern romantic idol drama."

　　

Gu Zecheng automatically cross-questioned him, "What about the specific?"

Young actor Lin's eyes blinked faster, and after a long while, he finally whispered, "The overbearing, overbearing president is in love with me?"

Dad Gu frowned again, "What about the other one?"

Once some words were spoken, the rest were easier to say. This time, Lin Zixi quickly answered, "Although the drama is claimed to be a historical suspense wuxia drama, considering the type of dramas I’ve filmed, it’s probably some kind of the overbearing fugitive is in love with me..."

Gu Zecheng snorted coldly, "I guess this legend of something you’re currently filming is ‘the overbearing emperor'...."

Dad Gu did not go further, but Lin Zixi immediately understood what the other party meant and denied, "This drama is a major female lead one, so it should be ‘the overbearing concubine'...."

Gu Zecheng took a deep breath and spoke at a slightly faster speed than his normal speech, "Don't you claim to be a popular young actor? Why did you even accept this kind of drama that wastes the audience's time?!"

"My company has no resources, ah…." Young actor Lin did not know whether to sympathize with the other party or himself. "Po Tian Ji is already the most reasonable drama I’ve filmed in the past year. Judging from the scripts handed to me currently, it may be the most reasonable one in the following year, so please watch and cherish it ...."

"Cherish it..." Gu Zecheng's voice suddenly rose and then stopped abruptly—even with his self-restraint, he actually almost cursed and was really infuriated.

After Dad Gu swallowed the profanity back, he remained somber and silent. Lin Zixi naturally wouldn't go up and irritate him any more, so he slumped against the back of the seat and closed his eyes to rest.

He could barely hold on as he talked with Gu Zecheng just now. Once he stopped like this, the strong liquor immediately got the upper hand, and he soon felt drowsy.

But the man beside him unexpectedly spoke again at this moment, "You follow Zhou Fan well and learn to act from him. When your acting skills have improved, everything else is easy to talk about."

Young actor Lin thought for a long time before realizing that after his biological father helped him find a teacher, he was also planning to help him find resources.

Lin Zixi half-opened his eyes to look at his dad's older but more imposing face, and in that instant, he suddenly didn’t know what to say.

At the age of fourteen, his mother had a new family and a second child. At the age of seventeen, he went north to enter Central Film Academy. At the age of nineteen, he formally entered show business…. It had been a long, long time since he met someone who was willing to shelter him from wind and rain and yet harbored no filthy desires for him.

Even if the original intention of everything this man did was not for his own good, it was enough to make him feel warm and moved.

At this moment, Lin Zixi finally and genuinely acknowledged the correct identity of the man beside him, Gu Zecheng.

Not a fucking victim, not his gold master daddy, but his father.

He had never acknowledged his father and would probably never do in this life.

Lin Zixi had tsunamis in his heart, but Dad Gu, whom the waves rushed towards, was actually confused.

After Gu Zecheng said that sentence which should be regarded as a promise, he thought that young actor Lin would be as happy as when he had drawn that game card previously. Who knew that the other party was like taking the wrong medicine this time, saying nothing at all while smiling at him.

Moreover, it was the kind of smile that came from the bottom of one’s heart, especially gentle and affectionate.

Dad Gu admitted that Lin Zixi smiled very nicely, making people's hearts become warm and soft, but this reaction was wrong.

"What…” happened to you? Gu Zecheng initially wanted to ask what was the matter with Lin Zixi, but as he was just about to start talking, he was stunned.

Because young actor Lin, under the influence of alcohol, suddenly leaned in and kissed him on the cheek.

　　

Especially hard, especially loud, and especially like the kind that children would do when they were happy while playing with their parents.

Then young actor Lin simply fell into a deep sleep on the spot, leaving Dad Gu to face his drunk self and a sudden and unclear kiss in stupefaction.
