Who is Helping Me Win by Lying Down [Transmigration] - Chapter25:

Chapter25:

Sorry, I tripped. Please continue…

After speaking with his head lowered, Zhang Shi silently retreated behind Yan Jingchuan.

Chen Shu withdrew his gaze and looked at Yan Jingchuan.

Moving into Yan Jingchuan’s room?

During your filming period, you’ll be living with me, Yan Jingchuan said without looking sideways, walking straight ahead.

Zhang Shi shook his head.

Director Yan, oh Director Yan.

Such a blunt command won’t work.

For someone like Chen Shu who treats money as dirt, the Yan Corporation probably holds no special significance to him.

Although Director Yan’s personality has always been like this, Chen Shu doesn’t seem like someone easy to deal with either.

Using such a tone with someone like him would probably—

Alright.

… Hearing Chen Shu’s response, Zhang Shi’s eyes went vacant.

This time, even his thoughts fell silent.

The two people in front didn’t notice his change.

Chen Shu said, Which floor are you on? My luggage is still in my room, I need to go back first.

He had no particular objection to this arrangement.

After all, strictly speaking, Yan Jingchuan was currently his financial supporter. When the supporter makes a request, he should naturally try to accommodate it.

Moreover, judging from last night, even if he moved in, nothing particularly unusual would happen.

As for this so-called sponsorship that Yan Jingchuan proposed, he still couldn’t discern the reason behind it. Currently, it seemed very much like a spur-of-the-moment charitable act.

Yan Jingchuan said, I’ll go with you.

Since he had made the suggestion proactively, Chen Shu didn’t refuse.

After returning to the room and placing the dog carrier on the still-unpacked suitcase, the three of them took the elevator up.

Zhang Shi had booked a suite for Yan Jingchuan.

Upon entering was the living room, with two bedrooms on either side. Study, bathroom, walk-in closet, and entertainment room were all fully equipped.

Seeing the spacious interior, Yan Jingchuan’s fingers gripping his cane slowly tightened.

He glanced at Zhang Shi.

Zhang Shi grew uneasy under his gaze: Director Yan?

Yan Jingchuan owned properties worldwide and usually stayed at his various residences when traveling, rarely checking into hotels.

This time, he had no choice but to stay in a hotel to pursue Chen Shu. Could it be that Director Yan was still unsatisfied with the environment here? But this was already the best suite he could find after careful selection…

Just as Zhang Shi was hesitating whether to make another booking, Chen Shu spoke.

Which room should I take?

Yan Jingchuan stepped forward: The master bedroom.

Master bedroom?

Chen Shu paused mid-step.

Yan Jingchuan said impassively, Living together with me.

The space here was too large – the greater the distance, the weaker the effect.

However, he wasn’t sure if Chen Shu would agree to this proposal.

He had genuinely stated he wouldn’t force Chen Shu, but living together might lead to misunderstandings.

Chen Shu readily complied: That’s fine.

With that, he turned and went to the master bedroom with Wangcai.

Since Yan Jingchuan was still a patient who could barely stand steadily, he hadn’t been concerned from the beginning.

His agreement came decisively, almost without hesitation.

Yet Yan Jingchuan frowned slightly.

Watching Chen Shu’s retreating figure, he pressed his thin lips together.

So this man was this casual.

Zhang Shi also watched Chen Shu walk away before asking, Director Yan, if you don’t like it here, should I book another room?

Yan Jingchuan said, No need.

With Chen Shu agreeing to sleep in the same room, all problems were resolved.

Zhang Shi then nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

Since joining the Yan Corporation, he had been working closely with Yan Jingchuan and considered himself the person who understood Yan Jingchuan best.

But recently, something inexplicable had happened. Since Director Yan woke up after the car accident, his behavior and style mostly remained the same as before, except when it came to matters concerning Chen Shu. He had become increasingly unpredictable, making Zhang Shi feel as nervous as he did when he first started the job.

Was this the magic of love?

He could only pray to all the gods that Director Yan wouldn’t change again—once was more than enough…

Go attend to your tasks.

Yan Jingchuan’s words felt like a royal pardon.

Zhang Shi didn’t hesitate for even half a second and quickly made his exit.

Hearing the door close, Yan Jingchuan glanced toward the open door of the master bedroom and walked over.

Chen Shu was just letting Wangcai out.

Hearing footsteps, he looked toward the doorway. If it’ll disturb you, I can take him outside.

It won’t.Yan Jingchuan walked up to him. I like him very much.

Seeing him, Wangcai barked once.

Yan Jingchuan raised a hand. Do you mind?

Chen Shu was happy to have someone else handle the dog and casually handed Wangcai over to him.

Wangcai was full of energy today. Once in Yan Jingchuan’s arms, he grabbed the collar of his jacket with his teeth and tugged a couple of times.

Yan Jingchuan raised a hand to try and loosen it, but as soon as his fingers neared Wangcai’s mouth, the dog gently nibbled on them with his newly grown teeth.

The wet sensation of the tongue licking and sucking enveloped his fingertips, and Yan Jingchuan abruptly pulled his hand back.

He stared at Wangcai, his expression darkening slightly.

When he wasn’t around, was this dog always treating Chen Shu like this…?

He absolutely couldn’t let Chen Shu have any chance of finding out the truth.

Let me take him.Seeing this, Chen Shu took Wangcai back. Sorry, he’s been into biting things lately.

Yan Jingchuan snapped out of it. It’s fine.

He avoided looking at the dog squirming in Chen Shu’s arms and added, You have filming the next couple of days. If it’s inconvenient, you can leave him with me.

Considering Yan Jingchuan’s reaction just now, this was likely just a polite gesture.

Chen Shu smiled. I’d rather not trouble you.

Yan Jingchuan didn’t press further.

Staying under the same roof as Wangcai last night had already been enough to keep him in his body for a full day. Although the weakness grew stronger over time, it was still manageable for now.

He glanced over again.

Chen Shu was feeding Wangcai.

Before the food bowl was even full, Wangcai plunged his head into it.

Yan Jingchuan turned and went to the study—out of sight, out of mind.

After filling the bowl with dog food, Chen Shu picked up his script and sat on the sofa, reviewing the scenes to be filmed the next day.

Once Wangcai finished eating, he put him back in the crate and went to take a shower.

Before stepping out, remembering his former roommate Chi Yu’s reactions, he removed his towel, put on a bathrobe, thought for a moment, then added a T-shirt before opening the door.

Since Yan Jingchuan was attracted to men, it was better to be cautious to avoid making him uncomfortable.

Yan Jingchuan happened to be returning from the study.

Seeing Chen Shu fully dressed even after his shower—a stark contrast to his usual casualness when alone—Yan Jingchuan’s gaze darkened slightly.

Was he being guarded against?

It was true that he had used the pretext of keepingChen Shu to be with him now, but he had no interest in men.

Still, there was no need—and it wasn’t yet possible—for him to clarify this to Chen Shu.

Passing by Chen Shu, he went to take a shower as well. When he came out, he saw Chen Shu already settled on one side of the bed.

The edge of the blanket rested loosely over Chen Shu’s abdomen, his long legs only partially covered by the folds of his bathrobe.

He held a slightly curled script in his hand, his posture relaxed, showing no awareness of sharing a room with someone else.

He was nothing like the imposing figure from his memories.

It was the first time he had seen Chen Shu from such an angle.

Yan Jingchuan walked silently to the other side.

Chen Shu asked, Feeling sleepy?

Yan Jingchuan paused before sitting down. Mm.

His body couldn’t yet handle prolonged work and needed more rest to recover.

Chen Shu set aside the script and turned off the main light. Sleep, then.

Yan Jingchuan sat by the bed, hesitated again, then lifted the covers and lay down.

Before today, he had never been this physically close to anyone.

Even though he had been intimate with Chen Shu as a dog, returning to his human form left him somewhat unaccustomed to the proximity.

He turned on his side, facing away from Chen Shu.

Soon, the bed shifted slightly.

Amidst the rustling of fabric, he sensed a familiar warmth spreading instantly.

Images of sleeping beside Chen Shu in the past flashed through his mind, and Yan Jingchuan’s back stiffened slightly.

Only when the rustling stopped did he quietly relax.

Behind him,

Chen Shu glanced over at Yan Jingchuan’s completely still figure.

He had paid a high price to keep someone, yet this person seemed even more resistant to sharing a bed than he was. If Yan Jingchuan disliked it, why insist on living together?

Chen Shu still had no answers to these puzzling questions.

Still, compared to the cold text in the book, the Yan Jingchuan before him felt quite vivid.

They had a year ahead to spend together—he hoped Yan Jingchuan’s attitude wouldn’t change too quickly.

Click.

The last bedside lamp went out. Yan Jingchuan opened his eyes in the dark.

Lying in the same bed with another person, the body heat beside him screamed with presence, leaving him wide awake.

He had expected to lie sleepless,

but gradually, listening to Chen Shu’s steady, rhythmic breathing beside him, drowsiness washed over him doubly strong.

Surprisingly, he slept dreamlessly through the night.

When he woke the next morning,

before even opening his eyes, Yan Jingchuan noticed Chen Shu’s breathing sounded much closer than it had the night before.

The next moment,

he realized the warmth beside him was pressed tightly against him.

Yan Jingchuan frowned slightly.

Had he returned to the dog’s body?

He opened his eyes to look.

Chen Shu’s enlarged face immediately filled his vision.

The other lay on his back beside him, face tilted slightly toward Yan Jingchuan.

His sleeping expression was somewhat aloof, but the warmth radiating from him was scorching.

This was a human’s perspective.

Yan Jingchuan’s pupils contracted. The breath brushing against his cheek felt like fire, almost burning into his veins, spreading stiffness and tension throughout his body.

As he shifted, he realized Chen Shu’s arm was pillowed beneath his neck.

Perhaps disturbed,

Chen Shu’s eyelids fluttered.

Yan Jingchuan acted decisively, immediately sitting up and pulling away from his embrace.

The mattress shook sharply.

Chen Shu woke completely.

Frowning, he opened his eyes and saw Yan Jingchuan sitting at the bedside, pinching the bridge of his nose.

Yan Jingchuan feigned calm. Awake?

Mm, Chen Shu replied, then lifted his arm to stretch.

What happened?

His arm felt numb.

Noticing the movement, Yan Jingchuan’s jaw tightened like iron. He stood and walked straight to the bathroom, pretending not to see.

Chen Shu sat up, rubbing his increasingly sore upper arm.

Had his sleeping posture been off last night?

He didn’t dwell on it, getting out of bed to wash up in the bathroom.

Yan Jingchuan stood beside him at the sink, grip tightening on his toothbrush. Seeing that Chen Shu had no memory of the night’s shift, he closed his eyes and relaxed.

Chen Shu noticed his expression in the mirror. Not feeling well?

Yan Jingchuan said, No.

Chen Shu politely added, Make sure to rest.

After speaking, he finished washing up and turned to leave.

Later, after feeding Wangcai and bidding farewell to Yan Jingchuan, he went downstairs to meet up with He Qiyu and the others, then rode to the filming set.

Having witnessed Chen Shu’s acting skills yesterday, the director repeatedly compressed today’s shooting schedule.

The script originally planned for three days was completed in just one and a half days, officially wrapping up.

By the time they finished the wrap-up banquet hosted by the director, it was already 10:30 PM.

Just as Chen Shu stepped out of the restaurant, his phone suddenly rang.

The caller ID showed Zhang Shi.

But when he answered, Yan Jingchuan’s voice came through the receiver.

Where are you?

Zhang Shi, sitting in the front passenger seat, secretly pricked up his ears.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t hear the response from the other end, but after a brief pause, Yan Jingchuan spoke again.

Why aren’t you back yet?

Zhang Shi: …

Director Yan, you’re pursuing him so intensely!

Stay where you are, I’ll come pick you up.

Hearing Yan Jingchuan hang up after saying this, Zhang Shi quickly straightened up.

Yan Jingchuan didn’t look at him, simply giving the driver an address: Get there as soon as possible.

Understood, Director Yan.

The driver didn’t dare delay and immediately accelerated.

Chen Shu, having received the call earlier, saw the car slowly pull up in front of him as he exited.

Yan Jingchuan rolled down the window: Get in.

Once Chen Shu got in holding Wangcai and sat beside him, the faint throbbing pain in his mind finally began to fade.

Returning to the hotel, Yan Jingchuan gripped his cane and stepped out of the car, his arm trembling slightly as he rose.

Director Yan?

Yan Jingchuan didn’t turn back: I’m fine.

Chen Shu got out from the other side, walking around the rear of the car just as Yan Jingchuan stood up with the support of his cane.

Outwardly, his expression showed no sign of abnormality.

Zhang Shi instinctively moved to his side.

Since evening, Director Yan had been growing weaker, but perhaps having rested briefly in the car, he now seemed somewhat recovered.

After escorting Yan Jingchuan back to his room, Zhang Shi went to fetch water and prepared the medication accordingly.

Returning from the minibar, he overheard Yan Jingchuan saying to Chen Shu.

Tonight, you’ll move to the secondary bedroom.

Zhang Shi’s face twitched.

Rushing to bring him back in such a hurry, just to send him to the secondary bedroom?

Why does love make Director Yan so peculiar!
