After the Stand-in Shou Faked His Death

Qiqi looked up at Qin Zhou obediently.

But the maid hurried over, pulled Qiqi up, and apologized to Qin Zhou.

"It's okay." Qin Zhou smiled and continued making egg pancakes.

The maid also took the rope, and led Qiqi out of the kitchen first.

After making the omelette, Qin Zhou packed it and went outside the restaurant.

The maid was still waiting outside, took it over, and prepared to go back.

It's just that Qiqi squatted on the ground and refused to leave.

Qiqi looked at Qin Zhou and yelled, "Oh!"

Qiqi was unwilling to leave, and because of her relatively large body, the maid couldn't drag her around, so she had no choice for a while.

Qin Zhou squatted down, moved the microphone away, put one hand on Qiqi's head and rubbed it, and said in a low voice, "Good boy, go back."

"Aww!" Kiki moved closer, rubbing his fluffy head against Qin Zhou's arms.

Qin Zhou was also a little soft-hearted, very reluctant.

When He Yang brought Qiqi back, Qiqi was still a tiny cub, he couldn't even open his eyes.

In a blink of an eye, Qiqi has grown so big.

But Qiqi was raised by He Yang, not his.

"Go back." Qin Zhou patted Qiqi's head.

Qiqi still hesitated, lingering in Qin Zhou's arms for a long time before being taken away by the maid.

But even when he was leaving, Qiqi still turned his head from time to time to look in Qin Zhou's direction.

Qin Zhou stayed where he was, until the maid turned the corner with Qiqi and couldn't see Qiqi, so he looked away.

It was almost six o'clock, Qin Zhou closed the booth, and today was considered a call-off.

After work was over, the guests all went back to their rooms, and Qin Zhou also stayed in the room.

The manager brought dinner to Qin Zhou.

Qin Zhou took it over, looked at the manager next to him, and asked again: "Brother Fan, did no one come to my room that night when I caught a cold?"

"Who can there be?" The manager brushed off the topic, "The photographer will not enter the room casually, don't worry."

Qin Zhou lowered his eyes, already vaguely guessing something in his heart, and didn't ask any more.

The next day, Qin Zhou got up early.

Pei Yuan made dumplings, and Qin Zhou made some egg pancakes.

However, Qin Zhou thought that there were many children nearby, so he fried some French fries.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the two officially set up a stall on the side of the road, waiting for customers.

At the beginning, there were still no customers, only the children from the nearby neighbors came to buy French fries.

But after ten o'clock, a young girl with an Asian face came over.

The girl stood far away at the intersection, holding a mobile phone, looking down at something from time to time.

Not long after, the little girl came over, stopped in front of the stall, and asked Pei Yuan cautiously in English, "Is that Pei Yuan?"

"Hello." Pei Yuan smiled politely.

"Really!" The little girl exclaimed excitedly.

Pei Yuan also kept smiling, and asked softly, "Do you want to eat something?"

"Buy, buy, buy!" The little fan nodded quickly.

Pei Yuan packed a fried dumpling and asked again, "Do you want French fries and egg pancakes?"

"Yes, yes!" The little fan kept nodding without even asking the price.

In the end, the little fans bought a lot and left reluctantly.

The little fans bought almost all the items on the stall, and Qin Zhou hurried back to the kitchen to make some egg pancakes and French fries.

And when Qin Zhou came out with fried French fries, he saw the butler outside.

The old butler led the big dog and stood in front of the stall, talking with Pei Yuan.

Pei Yuan noticed the movement behind him, turned his head, and asked Qin Zhou, "Can you make wontons?"

Qin Zhou was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."

Pei Yuan: "I want one wonton and two French fries."

"Okay." Qin Zhou put the plate on the table and said, "I'll make new fries."

After finishing speaking, Qin Zhou turned around and went back to the kitchen, and started to do it again.

Qin Zhou packed two servings of French fries and one serving of wontons, took out the packing box, and handed it to the old housekeeper.

The old butler smiled and nodded towards Qin Zhou, and left with Qiqi without saying anything.

Qin Zhou also stopped visiting Qiqi, pretending not to know him.

At twelve noon, the program team called it a day.

After lunch, Qin Zhou felt a little full, so he came to the yard and walked slowly.

And when Qin Zhou looked out of the yard, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a black shadow at the intersection.

The big black and white dog was squatting at the corner of the street, with its head exposed, looking towards the direction of the restaurant, looking pitiful.

Qin Zhou walked over there, came to Qiqi, and looked around again.

The surrounding area is empty, the maid is not here, and neither is the old housekeeper.

Qin Zhou squatted in front of Qiqi and asked, "Where's Uncle Wen?"

"Ow!" Kiki yelled.

Qin Zhou also didn't understand what Qiqi meant, so he rubbed Qiqi's head with a smile.

Qiqi also lowered her head obediently, allowing Qin Zhou to touch her head.

Qin Zhou followed Qiqi's head to his back, and found that Qiqi seemed to have grown up a bit, his body was also fleshy, and his hair was very smooth. He could tell that he was well-raised.

Qin Zhou smiled and said, "I've gained weight."

Qiqi made a snoring sound, picked up the traction rope on the ground, and put it in front of Qin Zhou.

In the past, when Qiqi wanted to go for a walk, he would take the initiative to look for the owner with the leash in his mouth.

Qin Zhou also took the rope, intending to take Qiqi for a walk around.

Qiqi was very energetic and walked forward along the path.

Qin Zhou took Qiqi for a walk, looking around.

He has been here to record programs for several days, but this is the first time he has observed the scenery seriously.

The sky is blue, the grass is green, and the houses on both sides of the street are also small.

Occasionally, some children can be seen playing games on the side of the road, and there are old women basking in the sun in the yard.

In the distance, a windmill stands in the sun.

Everything is as good as an oil painting, a slow-heating country town.

Qiqi was still walking ahead, as if he knew the way, passed through several streets, and came to a small river.

Qiqi stopped, looked around again, and then walked in one direction.

Qin Zhou also followed behind. When he casually looked forward, he suddenly noticed something and was slightly taken aback.

Not far away, on a bench by the river, sat a figure.

The man sat alone on the chair, looking at the river, as if he was in a daze, not knowing what to write.

Qin Zhou looked at the man, unknowingly let go of the strength in his hand, and the traction rope fell off.

And Kiki also ran towards the bench, and kicked the man's knee with his head.

The man lowered his head and rubbed Qiqi's head a few times.

Qiqi wagged his tail, then turned his head to Qin Zhou and called out, "Oh!"

The man took advantage of the situation to look up, and then he noticed Qin Zhou belatedly, and was stunned for a moment.

Qin Zhou walked over with a smile and said hello: "Good afternoon."

He Yang took Qiqi by the hand and agreed.

There was an empty seat next to He Yang, Qin Zhou sat next to him, and explained: "I just met Qi Qi, and Uncle Wen is not here, so let's take him out for a walk."

"Yeah." He Yang nodded, kept looking down at Qiqi, and didn't look at Qin Zhou.

Qin Zhou looked at Xiaohe on the opposite side, and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Very good." He Yang's answer was very concise.

And Qin Zhou also quieted down and stopped talking.

He Yang reached out his hand, and habitually reached into his pocket, and took out a cigarette and a lighter.

But before He Yang had time to light the cigarette, he suddenly thought of something and put the cigarette back.

Qin Zhou noticed the movement beside him, looked at the man, looked at the side of the man's face, and suddenly found that He Yang seemed to have lost weight.

"Why are you still thin?" Qin Zhou couldn't help chuckling, "Eat more and take care of yourself."

"You can't even take care of yourself." He Yang frowned, "Why are you still talking about me?"

"Is there?" Qin Zhou narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "So the night I caught a cold, it was you."

He Yang was silent for a few seconds, and then replied: "En."

Qin Zhou smiled: "Brother Fan actually helped you, and lied to me that no one came over that night."

"I told him not to tell you." He Yang said, "Because you had a fever that day, he just mentioned it to me."

He Yang suddenly thought of something again, and explained: "I didn't let you be watched."

Qin Zhou nodded.

After all, it was He Yang who helped him when he changed managers.

Moreover, Brother Fan is also a veteran agent in the company, so it is impossible to sign him, a starlet in the [-]th line, for no reason, and it should be He Yang who came forward.

So when he caught a cold, Brother Fan helped He Yang hide it.

Qin Zhou thought about the day when he said he wanted to eat strawberries, and the program team sent out fruit salad the next day, so he tentatively asked, "Did you buy the fruit dessert that day too?"

He Yang stroked Qiqi and said, "It's the sponsored program group."

Qin Zhou also stopped talking.

The two sat quietly for a while, and after a while, Qin Zhou got up and said, "I'm going back."

Qiqi got up too, as if she wanted to go with Qin Zhou.

He Yang: "I'll see you off."

"No need, I'll just go back by myself." Qin Zhou smiled, touched Qiqi's head a few more times, and then turned to leave.

He Yang held Qiqi's leash and looked at Qin Zhou's back.

Suddenly, He Yang called out: "Yanyan."

Qin Zhou turned his head.

"Wrong way." He Yang walked over.

Qin Zhou was a little dazed, looked at the road ahead, and said, "Qiqi brought me here."

"There is a shortcut on the side."

After finishing speaking, He Yang took Qin Zhou to another side path.

Qiqi walked next to He Yang, and moved to Qin Zhou's side from time to time.

The streets were still quiet in the afternoon.

And just as the two passed by a street corner, they saw that the church not far away was a little bustling, many people cheered and applauded, and there were many white balloons and flowers around them.

Qin Zhou looked over and found that it was a wedding.

Qiqi suddenly stopped and looked over there curiously.

Among the crowd, the bride in a white wedding dress smiled and held her husband's arm.

The family members sent blessings to the newlyweds, and the photographers next to them were also taking pictures.

The photographer squatted on the ground and said to the newlyweds: "Three two one! Laugh!"

The bride and groom set their poses, and the family members next to them also moved out of their seats.

The photographer presses the shutter.

In the camera, the young newlyweds look at each other with smiles on their faces. Just looking at the photos makes people feel full of happiness.

However, when the photographer checked the photo, he noticed that in the lower left corner of the screen, two passers-by accidentally entered the shot.

The two passers-by were leading a big dog. The younger man lowered his head slightly, and was stroking the big dog's head with a smile.

The taller man was watching the young man beside him with a focused expression.

These two seem to be a couple.

The photographer looked up and looked towards the side of the road.

But the intersection was already empty, no one was there.

The Asian couple has left.

He Yang sent Qin Zhou to the intersection.

Qin Zhou also said: "Come here, I know the way."

He Yang nodded, and asked again: "Uncle Wen brought back strawberries yesterday, should I ask Uncle Wen to deliver them to you?"

"No need." Qin Zhou smiled and shook his head, smelling the faint smell of smoke on the other party's body, he still persuaded him: "Let's smoke less in the future, it's not good for your health."

"Um."

Qin Zhou noticed that He Yang's collar was a little messy, so he stretched out his hand to straighten it up, and said, "You're not young anymore, your body comes first."

He Yang complied.

The two were chatting like old friends, and they were so familiar with each other.

But it's also so strange.

"Then I'm going back." Qin Zhou withdrew his hand, intending to leave.

However, He Yang stretched out his hand uncontrollably, and grabbed Qin Zhou's wrist with some force.

Qin Zhou raised his head and met He Yang's gaze.

He Yang looked at those peach blossom eyes and wanted to say something.

Those peach blossom eyes are beautiful and clear.

The person in front of him was still the same as he remembered, still so gentle.

In the end, He Yang just said, "Pay attention to your body."

He Yang slowly let go of his hands, and said in a low voice, "Don't catch a cold anymore."

"No." Qin Zhou smiled, took a step back, turned and left.

He Yang stopped where he was, looking at Qin Zhou's back.

But Qiqi saw Qin Zhou leaving, so he stepped forward, wanting to follow.

It's just that He Yang was still holding the rope and didn't move.

Qiqi turned around and saw that He Yang hadn't left, so he called out to He Yang: "Oh!"

He Yang leaned over, stroked Qiqi's head, and said, "We won't go there."

Qiqi seemed to understand a little bit, squatting quietly on the ground, looking at Qin Zhou's back.

It wasn't until Qin Zhou completely left the street corner that He Yang turned back with Qiqi.

Qin Zhou returned to the restaurant.

The program group is about to start recording, so Qin Zhou hastily went to touch up his makeup.

After the filming started, Qin Zhou went to the back kitchen to fry some French fries and prepared to set up a stall.

And the sales of french fries are indeed much better than that of omelettes and dumplings, and the children in the neighborhood will come to buy them.

In addition to the children, there were also a few young girls with Asian faces who came over in the afternoon.

Those girls seemed to be Pei Yuan's fans, and they kept secretly looking at Pei Yuan when they were shopping.

When leaving, one of the little girls even said "Come on" to Pei Yuan.

After finishing work in the afternoon, Qin Zhou went back to his room to rest.

The manager came over with dinner, closed the door, and said to Qin Zhou, "Did you record a video for Director He before?"

Qin Zhou realized who the agent was referring to as Director He, and nodded, "Yes."

At that time, Su Tang told him that Director He was preparing a new movie, and the male lead was Pei Yuan, and he was recruiting a male supporting role.

He originally recorded an audition video, but his original agent kept delaying it and didn't send it to him.

By the end of Director He's recruitment, he had already decided on a male supporting role.

The agent said: "Director He wants to re-cast the cast. I have a spot in my hand. Next month, you can prepare and go to the audition."

"Really?" Qin Zhou was a little surprised, and hurriedly said: "Hasn't it been several months? I heard that a good person has already been selected..."

"The original actor had some trouble and couldn't shoot, so he was free." The agent waved his hand.

Originally, Director He had decided on an actor to play the role, but recently that person has exposed a lot of scandals, involving cheating and luring minors into bed, and Director He immediately canceled the cooperation.

The manager asked: "Aren't you in the same group as Pei Yuan? See if you can get along better with Pei Yuan during this period of time. Director He will refer to Pei Yuan's opinion."

"Okay." Qin Zhou nodded.

"The script is confidential, and I don't have any reference opinions here. You should watch more of Director He's previous films."

Qin Zhou memorized it.

After dinner, Qin Zhou took out his mobile phone and searched for Director He's movies online.

Director He is a well-known director in the circle, with a good reputation and guaranteed quality of his works.

Moreover, most of Director He's films are in cooperation with Pei Yuan, and he has seen them all.

To be precise, he has read all of Pei Yuan's works.

Qin Zhou flipped through his phone and suddenly remembered the little tour guide.

He still remembered what the little tour guide said, that he wanted to film with Pei Yuan.

the next morning.

Qin Zhou got up early, went to French fries and omelets first, and prepared them in advance.

Pei Yuan also made a lot of fried dumplings and set up a stall on the side of the road together.

But today's business is better than yesterday, and several small fans came here just to have a look at Pei Yuan.

Qin Zhou also knew that those fans made a special trip to see Pei Yuan, so he took the initiative to say, "I'll go to the back kitchen and continue cooking."

Qin Zhou went back to the kitchen and quickly went to French fries and omelets, while Pei Yuan also asked these little fans to go to the restaurant to rest first.

Also because the little fans were in the restaurant, even the drinks business with the second group improved.

In addition to the little fans, two children from the neighbor next door also came to buy French fries.

Qin Zhou has been busy all morning, frying French fries.

In the afternoon, the old butler came over.

The old housekeeper still came out with Qiqi, just like an ordinary passerby, and said to Pei Yuan, "I want a wonton."

Pei Yuan still remembered the old butler, after all he was leading a big dog, which left a deep impression on him.

And it was Qin Zhou who made the wontons yesterday, so Pei Yuan looked at Qin Zhou.

Before Pei Yuan could speak, Qin Zhou understood what Pei Yuan meant, nodded quickly and said, "I'll do it."

Qin Zhou turned around and went into the kitchen.

Qiqi was still looking at Qin Zhou, ready to move, wanting to follow.

The old housekeeper held the leash, patted Qiqi's head, and slowly comforted him.

Qin Zhou also quickly made wontons, packed them, and sent them to the old housekeeper.

The old butler took the packing bag and led Qiqi away.

Another new customer came over, and Qin Zhou continued to work.

The two of them stayed busy until after six o'clock before closing the stall. Qin Zhou's hands were a little sore and he was still very hungry.

Qin Zhou went to the kitchen to get something to eat, and then went to the yard to get some air.

Outside, the sky was dyed orange-red.

The sunset in the Netherlands is also beautiful, as if painted.

Qin Zhou looked at the sky, vaguely, and suddenly heard a dog barking.

Following the sound, Qin Zhou went outside and looked across the street, and saw a big black and white dog.

The big dog squatted on the ground with a leash around its neck.

It's just that the other end of the traction rope is hanging on the ground, and it looks like it ran out secretly.

Qin Zhou went over, picked up the traction rope on the ground, touched Qiqi helplessly, "Why are you running here again?"

"Ow!"

Qin Zhou stood up and said, "Do you know the way? I'll take you back."

Qiqi continued to call, and the tail behind him was still shaking.

Qin Zhou thought that Qiqi knew the way, so he went back to the restaurant, took his hat and put it on, and then came out again, ready to send Qiqi back.

But Qiqi seems to be wandering around, and from time to time he goes to the roadside stall next to him to have a look, very curious.

On the side of the road, most of the vendors have already closed their stalls, and there are not many small stalls left, and the bosses are also busy closing their stalls.

Unknowingly, Kiki came to a fruit stand.

Qin Zhou originally wanted to drag Qiqi away, but he stopped when he saw the strawberries on the fruit stand.

The stall owner noticed Qin Zhou and quickly asked, "Do you want to buy strawberries? They are all fresh."

Qin Zhou was a little moved, nodded, and began to pick strawberries.

The strawberries on the fruit stand are huge and delicious at first glance.

Qin Zhouzai carefully selected, and Qiqi squatted beside him.

After picking, Qin Zhou handed the strawberries to the stall owner, ready to pay the bill.

The stall owner quoted a price.

Qin Zhou also touched his pocket, and was about to take out the money, but suddenly found nothing.

It was only then that Qin Zhou remembered that his wallet was still with his agent, and the show crew did not allow guests to carry money with them.

Qin Zhou looked at the strawberries in the hands of the stall owner, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, wait for me for a few minutes!" Qin Zhou quickly apologized, took out his mobile phone, and prepared to call his agent to help deliver the money.

However, before Qin Zhou could make a call, he suddenly noticed someone approaching behind him.

The man came to Qin Zhou and handed out one hundred euros.

He Yang: "I'll come."

The boss took the money, gave He Yang some change, and continued to close the stall.

And He Yang still carried the strawberry bag and handed it to Qin Zhou.

"Thank you." Qin Zhou took it and smiled: "I will pay back the fee."

Qin Zhou gave the leash to He Yang again, "Qiqi ran to the restaurant again, and Uncle Wen is not here."

He Yang held the rope, nodded and said, "I will watch it."

Qin Zhou looked at Qiqi, but was still a little bit reluctant.

Now that Qiqi has returned to his master, it is time for him to go back.

Qin Zhou squatted on the ground and couldn't help rubbing Qiqi's head.

At this time, a gust of wind blew.

The hat on Qin Zhou's head was blown off by the wind.

He Yang leaned over and picked up the hat on the ground.

Then, He Yang leaned over and put the hat on the young man's head.

Qin Zhou raised his head subconsciously.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Zhou heard a click——

Qin Zhou was taken aback, then looked to the side, and saw a photographer holding a camera not far away.

It was a young man with blond hair who took the photo and hurried over and said, "I'm sorry..."

The blond young man was the photographer at yesterday's wedding, and he still remembers the Asian couple walking their dogs.

"Are you a couple? Can I take a picture of you?"
