Chapter 218 A gentleman ignores his conduct and his heart

"But if you really play the female lead, then I must play the male lead myself." Chu Ze thought about it.

"If two people who can't act are the lead actors, then your drama will be completely ruined." Xia Anruo chuckled when he heard this.

"So you'd better not be an actor. Just be a singer." Chu Ze also laughed.

"Tell me, if I was an actor instead of a singer when I first met you, would we not be together?" Xia Anruo was suddenly very curious about this question.

"Why?" Chu Ze didn't understand.

"Because this way you can't attract me by writing songs." Xia Anruo smiled playfully.

After all, the beginning of their fate was connected by songs.

"That's not necessarily true. I'm not only good at writing songs, I'm also good at writing scripts." Chu Ze smiled nonchalantly.

Don't underestimate my ability as a reborn plagiarist.

Poetry, songs, scripts, games, there is nothing that cannot be copied!
I copy, copy, copy!

I’ll copy you to death!
"You're just bragging." Xia Anruo curled her lips.

"Hey, now the scripts of Doupo are all modified by me, so how can I brag?" Chu Ze retorted unconvinced.

"Isn't that based on the plot of the novel?"

"Isn't it me who wrote the novel?"

"Humph."

Xia Anruo couldn't argue with him and turned away.

Chu Ze pinched her cheek through the mask and smiled: "So no matter whether you are a singer or an actor, as long as you meet me, you can't escape the palm of my hand. There will always be one that suits you."

"Then I can't escape for the rest of my life?" Xia Anruo pursed her lips.

"Yes, no matter what happens, I will catch you sooner or later." Chu Ze nodded.

"Well, in that case, then tell me, if you had a girlfriend at first, and then met me, would you cheat on her for me?" Xia Anruo suddenly blinked and asked playfully.

"Of course... uh..."

Chu Ze heard the question and was about to say yes, but suddenly he realized something, braked, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

What kind of fatal question is this?
What’s the difference between this and who you would save first if your mother and I fell into the water?
If the answer is yes, it means you are not loyal and may cheat.

If the answer is no, it means you don’t love her enough.

No matter how I answer, it seems wrong!

"Where did you learn this question?" Chu Ze wiped his sweat.

"Don't worry about where you learned it. Just answer my question first. Do you know it or not?" Xia Anruo stared at him, not letting him change the subject.

"The assumption in your question is impossible. How should I answer it?" Chu Ze spread his hands in helplessness. This question was beyond the scope of the syllabus.

"How can it be impossible? Without me, won't you have another girlfriend?" Xia Anruo looked at him with a frown.

"Without you, I will live my whole life alone, so how can I have a girlfriend?" Chu Ze said as a matter of course.

It was obvious that he had a strong desire to survive.

The only solution to a life-threatening question is to deny it fundamentally, otherwise answering it will result in death.

"Tsk, you only know how to say nice things." Xia Anruo said with disdain when she heard this, but she was delighted in her heart.

No matter how much you dislike someone, you can't refuse sweet words.

"I'm telling the truth." Chu Ze smiled.

Xia Anruo didn't believe Chu Ze's words, and said angrily: "Seriously, answer me quickly, I won't blame you."

"The last man who believed his girlfriend's words has been kneeling on a durian for a whole night." Chu Ze said expressionlessly that he was not stupid, there were too many lessons from the past, and he must not repeat the mistakes of his predecessors.

"I'm not such an unreasonable woman." Xia Anruo said dissatisfiedly.

"It's hard to say." Chu Ze shook his head.

These words immediately caused Xia Anruo to twist Chu Ze's waist with her jade fingers.

"What did you say?" she questioned, raising her eyebrows.

Chu Ze sucked in a breath of cold air in pain: "Hiss~ Look, look, you still say no! I just said this one sentence and you're so cruel. If I don't answer you satisfactorily, I don't dare to think how miserable my death will be later."

Probably he would sink into the river at night, and from then on he would change his name to Jiang Liuer.

"Then I won't pinch you, you say it." Xia Anruo withdrew her hand.

"You hurt me, don't tell me." Chu Ze shook his head.

"Let me touch it for you, just tell me quickly." Upon hearing this, Xia Anruo used her jade hand to gently touch the place on her waist that had been twisted just now.

"Then I won't say anything." Chu Ze still refused.

"Can you tell me?"

"Did not say."

"Say or not?"

"Did not say."

"Hey, what do you say~"

Xia Anruo suddenly changed her attitude, she pulled Chu Ze's arm and swung it, her tone becoming coquettish and naive.

Chu Ze covered his chest, unable to say anything to refuse...

Oh no, it’s a heart-pounding feeling.

This woman is damn sweet.

Which man can stand this kind of coquettish behavior?
"Okay, okay, isn't that enough?" Chu Ze smiled helplessly.

"So what will you do?" Xia Anruo took his arm and looked at him expectantly.

Chu Ze thought for a moment and said, "Well... I can only say that I am moved but I won't act. Being moved is instinctive, and not acting is a principle."

He will be moved because you are attractive enough to him, and he won’t take action because he must be loyal.

Someone said that you are loyal even though you are attracted to someone?

Chu Ze said: A gentleman judges by deeds, not by heart. Although I have a girlfriend and still like to watch young ladies dance, it does not prevent me from being a pure love warrior.

"What do you think of this answer?" Chu Ze asked.

"Well... you passed." Xia Anruo pouted and thought for a while, then patted Chu Ze's face with satisfaction.

"Is there a reward?" Chu Ze asked with a smile.

"Yes, as a reward, you will carry me back." Xia Anruo chuckled.

"How can this be called a reward? This is a punishment." Chu Ze was speechless.

"Then the punishment will be that you carry me on your back for the rest of your life." Xia Anruo said again.

"Okay, okay, then I am willing to accept the punishment."

Chu Ze squatted down and let Xia Anruo jump onto his back, then he stood up steadily and walked forward step by step with her on his back.

……

A week after returning to Jiangcheng.

In the studio.

Xia Anruo sat at the table, writing with a pen in hand, stopping and starting. After an unknown amount of time, she finally wrote the last word on the paper, and breathed a sigh of relief. Finally finished, the last song.

"Sister Liao."

Xia Anruo stretched and called Liao Qing in.

Liao Qing glanced at the lyrics on Xia Anruo's desk, picked it up and asked, "Is this the song you wrote?"

"Yes, what do you think?" Xia Anruo waited expectantly for Liao Qing's comments.

Liao Qing couldn't help laughing as he read the title of the lyrics: "'The Rest of My Life'? This song title really fits your current love-brained personality."

"How could I be in love?" Xia Anruo said dissatisfiedly.

"I can tell at the first glance that these songs you wrote are all written for Chu Ze. Aren't you just in love?" Liao Qing pointed at the song titles.

Doesn't this mean please take care of me for the rest of my life and completely give myself to Chu Ze?

Ugh, that's quite corny.

Xia Anruo blushed and argued, "The theme of this album is originally a love song. Isn't this a normal song title?"

"In the past, I could never have imagined that there would come a day when you would write a song for a man." Liao Qing sighed.

She and Xia Anruo have known each other for five or six years, and they have been working together since Xia Anruo made her debut. She never thought that the cold and proud girl back then would now wear a long skirt and smile at the bar, cooking soup for others.

"Is it hard to imagine?" Xia Anruo asked curiously.

"In the past, when many young handsome men came to chat with you, you had an expression that said "no approaching" and thought you had no interest in men and would end up living alone." Liao Qing joked.

"Nonsense, I'm not that cold." Xia Anruo always thought that she was quite kind and easy to get along with.

Liao Qing nodded affirmatively: "It happened before, especially when I first debuted, but it improved a little later, and now it's gone completely. Did you change so much after having a man?"

"Whether the change is big or not, you can find a man to try it yourself and you will know." Xia Anruo rolled her eyes.

Having his sore spot touched, Liao Qing put the lyrics in his hand back on the table in a bad mood and said, "Then I have to find it too."

"Who told you to have such high standards? Lower your standards a little. With your figure, Sister Liao, the men who would chase you would have to line up abroad." Xia Anruo took back the lyrics and put them away, and glanced at Liao Qing's figure.

Liao Qing's appearance is not the type that is stunning and unforgettable like Xia Anruo, but she has regular facial features, a straight nose, and neat short hair that adds a bit of heroic spirit to her temperament. Even if she is not a goddess, she can be said to be a very outstanding beauty among ordinary people.

Logically speaking, with this kind of looks, there should be no shortage of suitors, but Xia Anruo and Liao Qing have known each other for all these years, but she has never seen Liao Qing in a relationship, and she doesn't even look down on the few suitors that occasionally appear.

Therefore, Xia Anruo felt that the fundamental reason why Liao Dan chose to be single was that her requirements were too high. Of course, it also had something to do with her strong woman nature.

"Come on, what high demands can I have? For me, it's enough for two people to be attracted to each other." Liao Qing shook his head.

"This is already a very high requirement." Xia Anruo smiled.

It's not easy to meet someone you like, let alone meet someone who likes you. It's not easy to find a love that is mutual.

But aren’t Chu Ze and I in love with each other?
The love that others are searching for is already in your hands.

Thinking of this, Xia Anruo felt lucky and full of happiness.

The songs are all written, and the next step is to prepare the arrangement and then record the songs.

Xia Anruo was naturally familiar with the process of releasing an album, and Chu Ze also asked the artistic director Chen Liang to fully cooperate with the new album.

When the album was almost ready, Liao Qing asked Xia Anruo: "When are you going to release the new album?"

"If it's sent... wait a minute." Xia Anruo was not in a hurry to set a date.

"What are you waiting for?" Liao Qing asked.

"Just wait a bit anyway."

Xia Anruo did not explain, he had his own plans in mind.

……

That evening.

After work and dinner, Chu Ze took a shower and was just about to start typing on the computer when he received a call from his mother Jiang Huiqin.

"Your father and I went to a wedding planning company today and found that there are many different styles of weddings nowadays, including Western, Chinese, indoor and outdoor..." As soon as the phone was connected, Jiang Huiqin brought up the wedding.

"Mom, stop for a moment. What do you want to say?" Chu Ze listened to Jiang Huiqin talking for a long time and quickly interrupted her.

"I just want to ask when you and An Ruo are planning to get married? What kind of wedding will it be?" Jiang Huiqin paused and finally asked the purpose of her question.

"That matter..." Chu Ze scratched his head, "I haven't thought about it yet."

"What are you busy with every day? We've been engaged for several months, why are you so unconcerned about the wedding?" Jiang Huiqin became unhappy when she heard this.

"The main thing is that there is no rush..."

For Chu Ze now, getting married or not makes no difference. Anyway, they have already lived together and done everything they should do. It is no different from married life, so naturally he is not in a hurry to get married as before.

"How can you not be anxious? Do you think everything will be fine after you get engaged? If you don't get married quickly, aren't you afraid that An Ruo will run away?" Jiang Huiqin said angrily.

"No, how can she run?"

"Aren't you afraid that another outstanding man will snatch An Ru away?"

"Is there any young man who is better than your son?"

"What if there's someone handsome?"

Chu Ze was amused: "Mom, you ran away when you saw a handsome guy. So in your heart, An Ruo is this kind of person?"

"That's not what Mom meant. I just want you to be more vigilant and get married quickly so as not to give others an opportunity to take advantage of you." Jiang Huiqin explained.

"Mom, if you say that, isn't it possible for someone to be snatched away even if we're married? Marriage doesn't lock us down. Aren't there a lot of divorces every year?"

"Forget it, I can't argue with you." Jiang Huiqin couldn't refute what she said, so she could only say, "Then how long are you going to postpone your marriage?"

"Let me ask Ruoruo." Chu Ze couldn't make up his mind either, so he shouted out the door, "Ruoruo!"

"Is something wrong?"

Xia Anruo's response came from outside the door.

After a few seconds, Xia Anruo, who was lying in the bedroom, walked in wearing pajamas.

Chu Ze pointed to the phone: "My mother asked you when are we getting married?"

"You decide. I have no objection." Xia Anruo threw the decision back to Chu Ze.

Chu Ze considered, "If that's the case, why not just get married before the New Year?"

"It's too late before the New Year. It's November now. It's too rushed to hold the wedding in just two months. Your wedding is a big event and we must prepare well. It will take at least half a year." Jiang Huiqin objected.

"Then let's do it next year, in May, 520, what do you think?" Chu Ze picked an auspicious day.

"Of course you can, but what I mean is that you can hold the wedding next year and get the certificate this year. What do you think?" Jiang Huiqin suggested.

Chu Ze was a little moved when he heard this: "I don't mind, but I still have to ask Ruoruo's parents what they think."

"I know. I just have this idea. When to get the marriage certificate and when to hold the wedding is up to you two to discuss."

"Row."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Anruo, who was standing behind him, finally asked:
"Auntie urged?"

Chu Ze put down the phone and nodded, turned the chair around, took Xia Anruo's hand and asked her to sit on his lap, and said softly: "She said that we should get the marriage certificate this year and hold the wedding next year."

"Shall we get the certificate first?" Xia Anruo said in a low voice, looking down at Chu Ze playing with his fingers.

"Yes, what do you mean?" Chu Ze raised his head and stared at her deeply.

Xia Anruo and Chu Ze looked at each other, and suddenly she took the initiative to kiss Chu Ze on the face and smiled sweetly:
"Okay."
