The Most Popular Comedian

After setting ambitious goals, Rong Yuheng enthusiastically immersed himself in the filming of “Plain Robes.”

Filming had been progressing smoothly these past few days, and Qian Xinlei was in a good mood, giving the cast more relaxed breaks.

Rong Yuheng was brewing a little plan in his mind. Seizing the opportunity while Qian Xinlei was discussing scenes with Wen Zhecheng, he sneaked away to find Xun Guang.

“Will you continue to act after this drama is finished?”

Xun Guang was engrossed in playing a game and didn’t even lift his head. “Why not? If there’s money to be made, why not?”

Rong Yuheng fell silent for two seconds. “…That’s a good point.”

He leaned over to take a look. Xun Guang was playing some fantasy martial arts mobile game with vibrant special effects that made it look particularly dazzling.

Rong Yuheng praised, “You seem quite skilled. You’ve stacked so many game effects.”

Xun Guang gave a cold, contemptuous glance. “They’re all things that look good but are useless.”

Rong Yuheng asked, “…”

For some reason, he suddenly flashed an image of Wen Zhecheng’s face in his mind. The latter had a stubborn expression, shouting that he wanted to buy a luxurious Lincoln limousine.

…Rong Yuheng shook his head to clear those damn mental images. He asked Xun Guang, “Can you sell the copyrights for each of your works in the future?”

Xun Guang was frantically tapping on the screen. Rather than worrying about whether he could sell the rights, she seemed more concerned about completing the game level.

“I don’t know. It depends on whether anyone wants to buy them. Hey, why isn’t our team’s healer using light-footed techniques?”

Seeing that she was engrossed in the game, Rong Yuheng took the opportunity to tempt her with a seductive tone. “If a company is willing to buy all the film and TV rights you have, would you sell them?”

“As long as the price is right and they don’t make unnecessary changes,” Xun Guang pulled her head out of the game and glanced at Rong Yuheng. “Why, are you buying?”

Rong Yuheng shook his head with a mournful expression, his eyes filled with tears. “I’m just a poor little actor who started from scratch.”

Xun Guang raised an eyebrow. “What? Are you interested?”

The drama adaptation of “Plain Robes” was still airing, and this week it had reached the part where Huai Qing left the Lin Tian Gang. In the novel, this was a small climax, and readers were divided. Some sympathized with Huai Qing, some criticized Juyan, and others predicted the downfall of the Lin Tian Gang.

Now that this part was airing in the TV series, it indeed sparked a heated discussion on Weibo.

“D*mn it, I want to curse! Huai Qing is so good, devoting himself to the gang, and in the end, he gets slandered. What are those newcomers to the gang even worth? They’re so inexperienced and foolish.”

“Ah, when Huai Qing turned and walked away from Fanghua Slope, I burst into tears… that side view shot was just beautiful. In his words, ‘the mountains are high and the road is long, we may never meet again,’ but there’s still reluctance in his eyes.”

“I’m both crying and laughing right now…!!”

“My feelings toward Juyan are so complicated now… I used to ship them, but now I suddenly feel [sad]”

“Upstairs, my sisters!! Let me tell you about an even sweeter ship—Haiyan and Heqing, let’s ship them!”

“No, I’m firmly on board the He Tianyu ship! I want to see Juyan chasing after Huai Qing at the crematorium with a wicked smile [mischievous smirk]”

“I’m different. I’m looking forward to a love triangle showdown, hehe~”

…

Just when discussions were about whether “He Tianyu” could still sail, the official Weibo account of the “Plain Robes” adaptation unexpectedly released a behind-the-scenes clip.

@TVSeriesPlainRobes: Someone is blooming on a lonely path~ [Video]

In the video, Rong Yuheng had just finished filming a scene and retreated to the side. His manager, Shi Qiu, helped him put on a padded coat. The coat was slightly oversized, enveloping him entirely, and the fur on the collar brushed against his face, soft and fluffy.

Behind him was a desolate wilderness, with Rong Yuheng’s small face buried in the fur, his features clean, his eyes clear, and his lips rosy and white, like a touch of spring in the wilderness.

Then the camera shifted to a distance. Wen Zhecheng had been adjusting his clothes while bowing his head, but he suddenly turned and cast a glance in Rong Yuheng’s direction. A faint smile appeared on his otherwise expressionless face.

Though subtle, it was exceptionally infectious.

Qian Xinlei was skilled at steering the direction of discussions. When he had previously arranged for Yu Rao to buy the script and criticize “Ze Cheng Yi Yu,” he had dared not touch that particular topic. However, with various fan-made works popping up like mushrooms after the rain, the popularity of “Plain Robes” was soaring. It was the perfect time to release the previously unintentionally filmed scene.

Additionally, in the drama, Huai Qing was about to leave the Lin Tian Gang, setting the stage for his encounter with Pei Yanhe. At this moment, creating a buzz around the topic was most appropriate.

As expected, as soon as the behind-the-scenes clip was released, the official account exploded with comments from fans of the Zecheng-Yuheng ship:

“D*mn! Zhecheng’s gaze is killing me!”

“Zhecheng and Yuheng are the real deal! That smile is so damn endearing. Are they really exchanging glances like this on set every day?”

“Lock it in! Rong Rong is unbelievably cute. If I were Zecheng, I’d definitely not resist kissing him until he couldn’t breathe! [Tearful dog emoji]”

“Upstairs, sister, don’t make him stop breathing, hahaha…”

Even some fans who shipped “He Tianyu” couldn’t resist:

“Under the pressure of the officials, we can’t help but accept the pairing… [Kneeling emoji]”

“It seems like ‘Ze Cheng Yi Yu’ is becoming tempting… All-Clear is my last stubbornness! [Raising a roof emoji]”

Inside the filming crew, Rong Yuheng scrolled through Weibo with a flushed face. It wasn’t because of the comments but because of this particular behind-the-scenes clip.

He leaned back… When was this clip filmed? How did Wen Zhecheng manage to give him such an electrifying look so discreetly?

Moreover, the netizens were using such explicit terms, “kiss until he couldn’t breathe” – what was that about?

Seeing this, Rong Yuheng couldn’t help but think about the illustrations he had commissioned from Yao Tai. He wondered if Yao Tai had finished them.

Rong Yuheng secretly took out his phone. Although he felt a bit shameless doing this, he was quite excited.

He sent a message to Yao Tai.

【Rong Yuheng】: Yao Tai, have you finished the illustrations? I’d like to take a look~

【Yao Tai】: There are six in total. I’ve designed drafts for them all, but I haven’t started on the final illustrations yet. Do you want to see the drafts?

【Rong Yuheng】: Of course!

【Yao Tai】: [Images]…

Rong Yuheng’s heart raced as he heard Xun Guang say that Yao Tai was fast. Now, he was feeling a bit nervous—what if he opened the images and got hit by a huge wave of screen presence?

He cautiously covered his eyes with his hand, leaving a small gap through which he could peek at the screen on his phone…

In the images, two people, one tall and one short, were embracing each other. The composition of the shot went from the lower left to the upper right— the shorter person leaned against the bottom-left corner of the frame as if against a wall, tilting their head up towards the taller person as if asking for a kiss.

The taller figure, in the upper right corner, bent down, nearly encircling the other person outside the frame. They responded gently, as if granting the unspoken request.

Rong Yuheng slowly opened his hand, savoring the moment. Though it was a bit blush-inducing and heart-pounding, it seemed alright?

After thinking about it, he realized he had misunderstood Yao Tai.

Thinking of this, Rong Yuheng felt relieved and sent a message back to Yao Tai:

—OK, no problem!

…

The filming of “Plain Robes” was more than halfway through. Rong Yuheng took a break to send a message to his obedient grandson, Lu Mingxuan.

【Rong Yuheng】: Mingxuan, do you know which celebrities in the industry have been frozen due to dating rumors, despite having good reputations and only being involved in a simple romantic relationship?

【Lu Mingxuan】: I’m not sure. You can ask Chi Tang. He’s buying property in the entertainment industry just to pursue a female celebrity… Why are you asking about this?

【Rong Yuheng】: Read more history books, and you’ll understand your grandfather’s wisdom. [Affectionate sea otter emoji]

【Lu Mingxuan】: ? Get out, get out, get out.

After taking advantage of each other with Lu Mingxuan, Rong Yuheng turned her head and went to find Chi Tang again.

As Rong Yuheng’s former “gold master father”, Chi Tang showed arrogance in line with his persona –

[Chi Tang]: I know, but why should I tell you?

Rong Yuheng: This “it ~” is really very bad.

[Rong Yuheng]: I heard you haven’t chased anyone yet.

[Chi Tang]: ……

[Rong Yuheng]: You’re too much of a rookie, daddy help you.

[Chi Tang]: Just you? [King’s contempt]

[Rong Yuheng]: At least, I’m about to leave the group~ [Sea Otter Shy]

[Chi Tang]: ？？？？？

 

Throwing shade at the “former sugar daddy,” Rong Yuheng unilaterally struck a deal with someone. Chi Tang’s attention was now fixed on “Rong Yuheng’s impending departure from the group,” so he dished out some insider information and began to dig deeper into the matter. 

Abiding by the principle of using and discarding his friend Chi Tang, Rong Yuheng switched to a brief rest mode and focused wholeheartedly on his own promising path. He even gave his plan a solemn name – the “Rong Xing Plan.” It sounds like a particularly auspicious endeavor.

…

Rong Yuheng was busy with his acting career and preparing for his “Rong Xing Plan,” yet he still found time to interact with his owner. The days appeared comfortable and well-organized.

However, life always manages to bring some unexpected joys. On this particular day, Rong Yuheng had just returned to his hotel room after a day of filming when he received a Weibo message from Yaotai.

[Yaotai]: I’ve finished the drawing, hehehe~

Rong Yuheng had been shooting all day and was so exhausted that he could barely keep his eyes open. But upon receiving this message, he instantly became wide awake.

[Rong Yuheng]: Go ahead!

[Yaotai]: Please wait a moment; I’m adjusting the color tones with Photoshop, and then I’ll send it to you.

[Rong Yuheng]: [Sea otter looking forward to it] Okay~

Not knowing how long the color adjustment would take, he set his phone aside and decided to take a shower. When he finished and returned, he found that Yaotai had already sent the picture to his phone.

Rong Yuheng gleefully clicked on the first one, and immediately afterward he was struck by lightning!

Only to see the first picture, he was wearing the costume from the play “Plain Robes”, the outer robe was wide open, and the inner shirt bodice inside was messy, revealing a large portion of his chest, and you could even see the vaguely pink skin of his breasts.

Wen Zhecheng was also wearing the same attire as in the play, but in contrast to himself, his bodice was tightly bunched up to the bottom of his throat, and his whole person was strict and ascetic.

Wen Zhecheng’s large hands were well boned, the backs of his hands were covered with bulging veins, and he was holding them on his own supple waistline. Even through the screen, one could feel the tension of the whole person being held in his hand.

What made Rong Yu Heng’s earlobes the most hot was the two people’s intertwined lips. Unlike the randomly fitting lines in the draft, after coloring, the two had moisturized lips, and their lips were still being squeezed against each other between kisses, looking soft, intense, and lingering.

Rong Yuheng pressed his chest back and quickly flipped through a few more–

It’s obviously just a kiss, why is it more horny than that?

Rong Yuheng was now very regretful, regretting that he had eyes without pearls, not knowing the god of the car of Qiu Ming Mountain.

He was debating whether or not to save these pictures when there was a knock on the door of his room. Rong Yuheng drifted over in a trance holding his cell phone, and as soon as he pressed the doorknob open –

Outside the door was the face of the other main man in the group picture.

Wen Zhecheng squeezed in through the door and closed it with his backhand, “You dare to open the door without asking who it is? What if you meet a stalker fans and a paparazzi.”

Rong Yuheng didn’t have the heart to discuss this with him at all right now! He was so panicked that he reached out his little finger to press the lock screen button on the side of his cell phone.

However, there was no life without coincidence.

Only to hear a “snap”, the cell phone tipped over and landed at the feet of the two men.

Rong Yuheng, “… …”

Mommy!!!

He thought the “snap” was quite spiritual, as if it were the sound of his own evening falling to pieces.

Rong Yuheng hurriedly bent down to try to salvage it, but his owner warm feeder was a step ahead.

Wen Zhecheng bent down. He said tenderly, “I’ll do it, don’t hurt your back.”

Author’s Note: Rong Hamster: …… I’m afraid I’m going to flash as a pilot light at sea.

Owner Wen: what’s so great about letting me come?
