The Most Popular Comedian

With just this call from Rong Yuheng, the attention of almost half of the crew was immediately drawn to him!

Wen Zhecheng, surprised by the words, turned his head around. He saw the little hamster that was supposed to be lying on the resting chair waiting to be fed standing behind him, and its fur was all puffed up.

This was the first time Rong Yuheng had called him by his real name.

Wen Zhecheng’s mind buzzed for a moment, and the next second he excitedly leaned forward and asked, “How did you stand up? Weren’t you supposed to wait for me to feed you?”

“…” Rong Yuheng’s momentum suddenly stagnated. His jealousy decreased while his confusion increased.

Was he paralyzed or something?

The crew, who had been secretly watching the scene, collectively gasped, thinking, “Wen Zhecheng is so good at talking!”

Seeing that Rong Yuheng’s expression was not right after he spoke, Wen Zhecheng immediately realized and said, “I didn’t mean that. I meant, why did you come over here?”

Rong Yuheng’s gaze became even deeper. “Are you saying I came at the wrong time?”

The sarcasm in this sentence was overwhelming, and the subtext couldn’t have been clearer.

Wen Zhecheng was stunned for two seconds, then suddenly realized—could it be that his hamster was jealous?

“How could that be?” He quickly reached out to pull Rong Yuheng, but the latter shrank his hand and, “whoosh,” dived into the empty sleeve.

Wen Zhecheng patiently opened his hand to coax his little hamster. “Come on, give me your hand.”

Rong Yuheng looked aloof. “I won’t give you my hand.”

Onlookers: “… Why are we watching such a childish and affectionate scene?”

Lin Yeqing was now very conflicted. On the one hand, she wanted to laugh, but on the other hand, she felt it wasn’t fair. She felt like she should explain a few words, but it didn’t seem to be her turn to explain.

Lin Yeqing covered her mouth and made extremely quiet laughter sounds.

After Rong Yuheng had expressed his jealousy grandly, he lifted his chin and turned to leave.

He was hungry, and while he was jealous, he still needed to eat. Since no one was feeding him, he would be a self-sufficient wild hamster!

Wen Zhecheng immediately followed him, like a tail.

Rong Yuheng had to stop after a few steps. Annoyed, he turned his head and asked, “Why are you following me?”

Wen Zhecheng said, “I’m taking you to eat separately.”

Rong Yuheng’s gaze shifted to the bowl of porridge in Lin Yeqing’s hand, hinting at something. “Separate meals still have a production line?”

Feeding one person and then the next.

Wen Zhecheng understood his implication and almost burst out laughing. His Rong Rong was just too cute. Even his jealousy was adorable.

“There’s no production line, you’re a custom order.” Wen Zhecheng pulled him to his side and turned towards the business car, “The porridge for Lin Yeqing wasn’t brought by me, her assistant bought it.”

Rong Yuheng looked at him skeptically. “Then why did you bring it to her?”

Wen Zhecheng explained, “Her assistant went back to get stomach medicine,, her stomach hasn’t been feeling well these days.”

“Ah?” Rong Yuheng stopped in his tracks and stood still, “Is that so?”

Oh…! He wasn’t jealous anymore. If Lin Yeqing’s stomach wasn’t feeling well, it was only right to help her with her porridge. Moreover, it couldn’t be called “feeding;” it was just a good deed.

Rong Yuheng’s face suddenly felt a bit warm. He had misunderstood his owner.

Seeing Rong Yuheng hang his head in silence, Wen Zhecheng thought he was embarrassed. Just as he was about to comfort him, Rong Yuheng suddenly reached out from his sleeve and poked his arm.

Wen Zhecheng: “?”

Rong Yuheng, with a slightly shy expression, leaned closer, showing signs of reconciliation. “Hey, do you still want to hold hands?”

Wen Zhecheng’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly caught his fingertip. “Yes.”

Rong Yuheng’s hand was slender and smooth, with no calluses on his fingertips. His body temperature was slightly lower than Wen Zhecheng’s, like a piece of soft jade, which was simply irresistible.

The two of them blushed and held hands as they walked back to the business car. Qu Youhe, who was waiting in the car, almost popped his eyes open.

Oh my god, what is this, a scene from a campus youth movie!

Fortunately, Shi Qiu wasn’t there. Otherwise, he would have been eaten alive!

At this moment, Rong Yuheng was a bit shy, but he felt a sense of happiness. He thought he might actually like Wen Zhecheng a little, or he wouldn’t have been jealous.

Wen Zhecheng was sure that he liked him a bit too. Otherwise, why would he be comforting him?

Rong Yuheng thought happily, “Oh, so it’s a mutual secret crush between him and Wen Zhecheng!”

Then he thought, when he found the opportunity, he should confess to Wen Zhecheng. Kekeke~

And at this very moment, Wen Zhecheng, who had just completed the “holding hands” ceremony with Rong Yuheng, was equally delighted: “Oh, he and Rong Rong are officially together now!”

So he thought, when he found the opportunity, he should propose to Rong Rong. Fufufu~

…

At the same time, two people who had entered the “in-love state” but were in completely different situations finished their separate meals together, with half an hour left before the afternoon shoot.

Wen Zhecheng wanted to get closer to Rong Yuheng, maybe hold his hand or peck his lips or something. But Qu Youhe just sat across from them, staring at them with a serious look.

Wen Zhecheng was silent for two seconds, then took out his phone to do something productive.

[Wen Zhecheng]: Teacher Xun Guang, I want to request an article.

[Xun Guang]: ?

[Wen Zhecheng]: Your CP pairing has come true. I want to request an article.

Xun Guang, who was eating, furrowed his brows. “…Is this a show-off?”

After all, they were in the same crew, not more than 200 meters apart. What’s the point of sending a message for something like this?

[Xun Guang]: Please get straight to the point, let’s not talk about romance, just business.

[Wen Zhecheng]: Your CP pairing has come true. Rong Rong and I are together now. I want to request an article about the happy life after marriage.

Xun Guang: “…Damn it, is Wen Zhecheng a broken record?”

After dealing with these requests for a while, she realized that Wen Zhecheng was quite mysterious. He appeared cool and reserved on the surface but had a completely different set of thoughts in private. He was even more creative than her, a screenwriter.

Because of this, her realistic “City Encounter” fanfiction had been criticized by readers for being out of character for the “Movie Emperor”!

If it weren’t for Wen Zhecheng still paying, she would have gone nuts!

[Xun Guang]: [OK], I’ll pay you.

Just as she accepted Wen Zhecheng’s “order,” a message from Rong Yuheng popped up.

[Rong Yuheng]: Xun Guang!!

Xun Guang: …

At this time, shouldn’t Wen Zhecheng and Rong Yuheng be having lunch together? Why are they both messaging me while they are together?

[Rong Yuheng]: I think I may have found someone I like [Sea Otter Rubs Face]

[Xun Guang]: ??

Xun Guang put down her chopsticks, exited the chat with Rong Yuheng, and then poked into Wen Zhecheng’s conversation. “Rong Rong and I are together now” was prominently displayed in the middle of the chat.

[Rong Yuheng]: The other person seems to like me too. Do you think I should find a time to confess to them?

Xun Guang suspected that these two might be in parallel universes. She turned to ask Qian Xinlei, who was sitting next to her, “What do you think it means when there are two people, and one of them thinks they are about to get married, while the other hasn’t even entered a relationship yet?”

Qian Xinlei, focused on his meal, didn’t lift his head. “Either one of them is a scoundrel, or one of them has delusional disorder.”

Xun Guang: “…”

These two are your Male Lead 1 and Male Lead 2, thank you very much.

—

As lunchtime approached its end, Shi Qiu hurriedly rushed over.

Wen Zhecheng and Rong Yuheng were basically glued together, so Shi Qiu and Qu Youhe had already discussed taking turns taking care of their daily lives.

Today was Qu Youhe’s turn, so Shi Qiu didn’t need to come over.

When Rong Yuheng saw Shi Qiu rushing over, looking disheveled and full of anger, he thought their relationship with Wen Zhecheng had been discovered.

But when Shi Qiu arrived, he directly handed his phone to Rong Yuheng. “Do you have any grudges with this person?”

Rong Yuheng was puzzled for a moment, then leaned over to take a look.

It was Yu Rui.

“We were both contestants on ‘Ace Star,’ but we didn’t have much interaction.”

“Not much interaction?” Shi Qiu frowned. “Then he’s been buying articles to criticize you.”

“What articles?” Wen Zhecheng, who was sitting nearby, suddenly asked.

“Oh, it’s that person who secretly manipulated public opinion when ‘Plain Robe’ was announced, right?” Qu Youhe said. “We investigated it with Shi Qiu before. Why, is it confirmed now?”

Shi Qiu nodded. “He did it very discreetly. His team targeted several artists in one go, and Yuheng was among them. It was hard to trace.”

Shi Qiu had saved all the articles related to both of them, and she showed them to Rong Yuheng now.

Rong Yuheng flipped through a few pages and quickly understood.

Clever yet malicious methods.

Clever because Yu Rui’s team didn’t target just one person at a time but multiple artists, making it difficult to identify the perpetrator. Also, in some articles, they only criticized without promoting, while in others, they only promoted without criticizing, trying to weaken Yu Rui’s presence.

But it was also malicious because they hadn’t moved beyond the traditional methods of criticism and promotion, and when promoting someone, they always placed Yu Rui in the first or second position. Individually, it wasn’t noticeable, but when collected, the pattern became evident.

Rong Yuheng couldn’t help but marvel, “How much of a loser is Yu Rui to spend so much money on these articles?”

Shi Qiu choked on her words.

Great, Rong Yuheng still had the heart to mock others, which meant his mentality was okay.

Wen Zhecheng couldn’t resist adding some sweet words, “Our Rong Rong is the most outstanding. He doesn’t need to spend money on promotion. He has a lot of ‘natural spring water’.”

Rong Yuheng blushed at the compliment and scratched his cheek modestly. “I’m grateful for the love of the gods in the BL community.”

Shi Qiu: “…”

No, she didn’t need this kind of “natural spring water”; this was more like a “flood.”

However, she temporarily didn’t have the heart to correct Rong Yuheng’s inexplicable sense of pride because Yu Rui had just released another article today.

Shi Qiu brought up the latest article. “This blog post has screenshots of your web dripping technique and claims that your image is so poor that even terms like ‘low-level artist’ are used.”

Rong Yuheng glanced at it and felt a bit conflicted. He did indeed have web dripping, but did his saliva thread have to look this shiny?

Yu Rui’s team was filled with what kind of talents that they only photoshopped his saliva thread!?

Shi Qiu said, “We’ll post a few of your professionally edited photos to improve your image. But what Yu Rui’s team did is still too much, not fighting back is too frustrating.”

Rong Yuheng tapped his phone thoughtfully. “With the money spent on buying articles, it would be better to use it for charity and accumulate some merits.”

Shi Qiu was about to comment on how kind Rong Yuheng was, but suddenly, she felt a sense of unease. She leaned over. “What are you doing on your phone?”

Rong Yuheng had just finished editing a text message and solemnly pressed the “send” button. “In Tai Chi, there is a saying, ‘Four ounces deflect a thousand pounds,’ which means using force cleverly.”

Shi Qiu was suddenly frightened. She snatched Rong Yuheng’s phone before he could react and saw that he had forwarded the blog post about “web dripping” with the following comment:

@STAR—T Rong Yuheng: “Even a low-level artist possesses advanced web dripping skills.” [Image] // @BigmouthedComicBrother: “An article about two ‘rising star’ artists, one backed by capital, the other silently striving but never gaining popularity.”

Shi Qiu: “…”

However, before Shi Qiu could confiscate Rong Yuheng’s Weibo account, she saw Qu Youhe on the opposite side trembling even more violently than she had.

“Zhecheng! What are you doing?”

Wen Zhecheng, looking extremely guilty, hurriedly turned off his phone screen. “Nothing.”

Rong Yuheng was puzzled for a moment, then saw Wen Zhecheng sneak a glance at him and suddenly had an epiphany.

He quickly opened his own Weibo and indeed found that Wen Zhecheng, who hadn’t been active for years, had just retweeted his post:

@Wen Zhecheng: “Even a low-level actor possesses advanced web dripping skills.” [Image] // @STAR—T Rong Yuheng: “Even a low-level artist possesses advanced web dripping skills.” [Image] // @BigmouthedComicBrother: “An article about two ‘rising star’ artists, one backed by capital, the other silently striving but never gaining popularity.”

Rong Yuheng paused for two seconds and then, moved his little fingers and clicked on the picture.

In the picture Wen Zhecheng was carrying a piece of braised pork and pulling out gracefully curved silver thread from his mouth.
