My crush wants to be my sugar daddy.

Chapter 199 IF Scenario - Visiting the Set

Irresponsible IF Side Story - 03

On the third day of summer vacation, Xu Mo finished arranging things at the company and planned to go to the film set to check on Jiang Haochen. Mainly, he wanted to see what kind of person the guy Jiang Haochen liked, the one Xiao Cui had mentioned.

At this moment, Chi Yuan suddenly approached him and said he wanted to visit the set together.

Chi Yuan would never have made such a request before, for fear of causing trouble for Jiang Haochen. In fact, aside from studying and exchanging greetings during holidays, Chi Yuan rarely took the initiative to contact Jiang Haochen.

Once, several prestigious universities in China jointly organized a winter camp to select talents in physics. The teacher recommended Chi Yuan, but because the location was in H City, each student needed to pay a registration fee of 5000 yuan.

This was such a rare opportunity, but when Chi Yuan heard about the 5,000 yuan registration fee, he absolutely refused to go. His teacher tried everything to persuade him, saying that if he performed well at the winter camp, he could have a chance to be directly admitted to university, but Chi Yuan just wouldn't go. He said he could take the exam himself and didn't want to waste the money.

The teacher didn't want Chi Yuan to miss this opportunity, so she went to the principal to see if the school's subsidy funds could be used to help Chi Yuan pay the registration fee. The principal contacted Xu Mo, and Jiang Haochen then learned that Chi Yuan was actually willing to give up such an opportunity for five thousand yuan.

Jiang Haochen was still filming at the time, but he rushed back from the set overnight because of this incident. For the first time, he got angry at Chi Yuan: "Why didn't you go?"

Chi Yuan: "Can I take the university entrance exam myself?"

Jiang Haochen: "So you think that since you can get into university yourself, you should save that five thousand yuan if you can, so you won't owe me a favor?"

Chi Yuan thought this to himself, but noticing that his brother was in a bad mood, he held back and didn't dare to say anything.

Jiang Haochen: "You want to settle this with me so meticulously, Chi Yuan? If I really wanted you to pay me back, could you even do it? I treat you like a younger brother, but what do you take me for? A creditor?"

That's too harsh.

Chi Yuan shook his head frantically, almost crying with fear, but he didn't know how to explain. He knew his brother was good to him, but he had already spent a lot of money on him. Even if his brother was rich and willing to spend money on him, he couldn't really treat it as his own money; he couldn't take it for granted.

Jiang Haochen was furious, but when he found Chi Yuan crying, he felt he had bullied a child. He went back to his room to calm down, but when he woke up the next day, he found the boy he had scolded and made cry the day before huddled at his door, waiting pitifully.

Seeing him come out, the boy apologized with red eyes: "Brother, I was wrong. I'll go to winter camp. Please don't abandon me."

At that moment, Jiang Haochen realized the boy's inner sensitivity and fear.

Everything the boy possessed was given to him by himself. He considered himself generous and capable of giving, but from the boy's perspective, if he didn't give, and the boy came to ask for it, then it was taking. He was angry that the boy was too clear about the distinction between him and himself, but wasn't it also because he hadn't given him enough confidence?

After that, Jiang Haochen had a deep talk with Chi Yuan, and Chi Yuan became more lively than before, occasionally making some reasonable small requests. Jiang Haochen also instructed Xu Mo to keep in touch with the school and take care of Chi Yuan.

Chi Yuan was a good student and obedient. In the past two years, apart from Xu Mo having to go to the parent-teacher conferences to receive praise, there was nothing for him to worry about.

This was the first time Chi Yuan had made a request to him, and since he also had some ulterior motives, wanting Chi Yuan to develop in the entertainment industry, he agreed almost without hesitation.

Jiang Haochen is filming a modern drama this time, and the filming location is in S City.

After exiting the high-speed rail station, Xiao Cui drove to pick him up. On the way, they stopped to buy a popular milk tea brand. The line was so long it seemed endless, so Xiao Cui went in, bought two cups, and came back.

Xu Mo said with dissatisfaction, "Why only two cups?"

The three of them.

Xiao Cui: "These are two cups that I ordered from a scalper beforehand. I need to bring them back to the set. If you want to drink milk tea, feel free to drink as much as you want when we get to the set. The milk tea truck is already on its way."

Xu Mo asked, puzzled, "Did Jiang Haochen specifically ask you to buy this? When did he start liking milk tea?"

He remembered that Jiang Haochen was a coffee enthusiast.

Xiao Cui: "It was bought for Xie Lingzhou."

Since it was inconvenient for Xiao Cui to carry the milk tea while driving, he casually handed it to Chi Yuan in the back seat.

Xu Mo raised an eyebrow, understanding the implication, and asked, "The actor you said Hao Chen has a bit of a crush on?"

Chi Yuan, who was protecting the milk tea, suddenly raised his eyes and stared intently at Xiao Cui, who was driving in the front seat.

Xiao Cui: "Yeah, just yesterday when we were rehearsing, Xie Lingzhou casually mentioned that this brand of milk tea is really popular lately, and today Brother Jiang told me to buy some and bring it back. But it's strange, since we already contacted a milk tea delivery truck, why did he still ask me to buy this separately?"

Xu Mo chuckled and said, "What's so hard to understand? The whole crew drinks the same milk tea, only yours is different."

Xiao Cui realized: "This is a confession of love."

Xu Mo: "It's not really a confession. With Jiang Haochen's personality, a confession wouldn't be this roundabout. It's more like a test. What, he doesn't like your brother Jiang?"

Xiao Cui: "I can't really explain it either. You'll have to see for yourself when we get to the set."

Xu Mo nodded: "Okay."

In the back seat of the car, Chi Yuan listened quietly, his eyes fixed intently on the milk tea in his arms.

About half an hour later, the car arrived at the film set.

Xiao Cui led the two of them to Jiang Haochen's dressing room. Just then, the milk tea truck arrived, and the director gave everyone a half-hour break so they could go and have some milk tea.

Jiang Haochen, dressed in a suit despite the sweltering heat, was taking off his jacket when he spotted Chi Yuan. Smiling, he reached out and ruffled the boy's soft hair: "What are you doing here? Have you finished your summer homework?"

Chi Yuan smiled and obediently replied, "There are only a few papers left; I've finished the rest."

Jiang Haochen rubbed him twice more: "Good boy."

Chi Yuan let the other person rub him, his eyes fixed on Jiang Haochen's face, his dark eyes filled with emotions that others couldn't understand.

Jiang Haochen turned to Cui and asked, "What about the things I asked you to bring?"

Xiao Cui: "Chi Yuan is holding it."

Jiang Haochen looked down at Chi Yuan and saw that he was indeed carrying a bag of milk tea. He reached out and took it, but as soon as he took it, he felt something was wrong.

So light.

He opened the bag and, sure enough, found that the milk tea inside had already been drunk; both cups had straws inserted.

Jiang Haochen looked at Xiao Cui in surprise, and Xiao Cui, equally surprised, asked Chi Yuan, "Chi Yuan, why did you drink it? Didn't I tell you the crew had milk tea?"

Chi Yuan looked like he'd done something wrong: "I'm sorry, I thought... it was for me to drink."

Xiao Cui: "I clearly said that this is to be brought back..."

"Alright," Jiang Haochen interrupted Xiao Cui, "So what if you drank it? It's just a cup of milk tea."

Xiao Cui: "It's two cups."

One drink is one thing, but how did you drink two? That's incredible!

Chi Yuan blushed with embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I've never tasted anything this delicious before, and I couldn't help but drink it all."

Tsk!

It's just two cups of milk tea, is it really worth his brother apologizing twice?

Jiang Haochen: "It's okay, you drank it, so be it. If you like it, I'll buy it for you every day from now on."

Chi Yuan's eyes sparkled: "Thank you, brother."

Jiang Haochen was immediately charmed by the boy's sweet "brother" greeting and his face lit up with a smile.

Xiao Cui: "What about Teacher Xie?"

Jiang Haochen: "Never mind."
