Rong Yuheng’s confession was like a thunderclap that exploded in Wen Zhecheng’s world, shaking it to its core!

Wen Zhecheng felt like he had been hit in the head with a blunt object, and his mind was buzzing. “Dating? Shouldn’t we be discussing wedding banquets?”

After Rong Yuheng finished confessing and saw Wen Zhecheng standing there in shock without a response, he furrowed his brow.

Could it be that he’s forgotten who I am after eating?

He sat up, raised his hand to poke Wen Zhecheng’s arm, his tone unfriendly. “Don’t you want to?”

Wen Zhecheng snapped out of it and hurriedly said, “Of course, I do.”

He was just momentarily lost in self-doubt.

Rong Yuheng felt a bit unhappy. He had expected Wen Zhecheng to respond with joy, but his reaction was like this?

Rong Yuheng didn’t hide his feelings and said loudly, “But your expression doesn’t look like you want to at all! If you don’t want to, I won’t kiss you, and I’ll just be friends with my boyfriend!”

Wen Zhecheng quickly grabbed him. “I am your boyfriend, and I want to kiss you.”

Rong Yuheng’s momentum faltered. “Oh… boyfriend!” He suddenly felt a strange sense of satisfaction welling up from the depths of his heart, it was fresh and sweet, and his earlier mood dissipated immediately.

He generously chose to forgive. “Alright. It’s just that you didn’t seem happy, so I thought you didn’t want to.”

Wen Zhecheng… He didn’t know what to feel right now. It was like the progress bar had inexplicably returned to the starting point. Should he be happy?

The “dating” he had assumed before turned out to be all a bubble!

But when Wen Zhecheng saw Rong Yuheng’s hopeful expression, he suppressed his doubts and reassured him, “It’s mainly because the surprise came too suddenly… I’m just a bit stunned.”

Rong Yuheng happily squeezed himself next to Wen Zhecheng. “You better be.”

“…”

Their takeout arrived quickly. The spicy and stimulating aroma filled the room as Rong Yuheng laid out the dishes on the coffee table, creating a vibrant display. Wen Zhecheng’s eyelids trembled slightly…

He remembered that Rong Yuheng could handle spicy food quite well.

Wen Zhecheng still maintained a shred of professional ethics and cautioned his own little hamster, “Just a taste is enough. If you break out in pimples, Director Qian will scold you.”

Rong Yuheng’s saliva started swirling in his throat again as he stared at the oily takeout with an intense longing, clearly blocking out the existence of his freshly acquired boyfriend.

Rong Yuheng happily rubbed his hands together. “Should we start with the boiled beef slices or the spicy hot pot?”

Wen Zhecheng, now completely transparent, said, “…”

He suspected that the redness covering his lips was just an excuse Rong Yuheng had found to indulge in a late-night snack.

Rong Yuheng sat in front of the coffee table enjoying their late-night meal, while Wen Zhecheng diligently rinsed the chili off the meat and placed it in Rong Yuheng’s bowl. After cleaning the meat thoroughly, he added it to Rong Yuheng’s bowl.

Rong Yuheng stared at the layer of chili oil floating in his water cup, looking genuinely distressed. “You’ve rinsed away their souls!”

Wen Zhecheng quickly integrated himself into his logic and offered an explanation, “I’m cleansing their souls.”

Rong Yuheng glanced at the bland meat slices and commented softly, “Well, you’ve certainly cleansed them thoroughly.”

After they had a soulless late-night meal, it was already past midnight. Since they had to film the next day, Rong Yuheng gathered up the takeout containers and urged Wen Zhecheng to go back to his room to sleep.

Wen Zhecheng hesitated, “What if I stay here with you tonight?”

Rong Yuheng gave him a meaningful look. He felt that since they started dating, Wen Zhecheng’s thick-skinnedness had suddenly increased—he was already thinking about climbing into bed right after their first kiss.

“No, little hamster needs to grow independently.”

Wen Zhecheng said, “I think a little help with growth wouldn’t hurt.”

Rong Yuheng furrowed his brow. He suspected Wen Zhecheng was up to something.

After several attempts to shoo him away, Wen Zhecheng was finally pushed out of the room. Rong Yuheng stood by the door, peeking at him through the crack and urging him in a hushed voice, “Go back quickly…”

“Alright,” Wen Zhecheng said with a hint of disappointment.

After a man who had abstained for a long time tasted the sweetness once, it was difficult for him to remain reserved. Even his mindset underwent a complete transformation: he wanted to kiss, hug, and stick to the other person constantly.

For a moment, Wen Zhecheng actually felt that Rong Yuheng was right—they had just started dating.

What did those previous little ambiguities count as in terms of dating?

Wen Zhecheng took a slight step back with a hint of reluctance. “Then I’ll go back.”

“Hey…” Suddenly, Rong Yuheng called him and poked his head out from the door crack. He looked around to ensure there was no one in the corridor and then grabbed Wen Zhecheng’s collar, planting a loud “kiss” on his face.

After the kiss, he quickly retreated behind the door, his cheeks turning red, and his eyes shining with excitement. “Goodnight~ Love you!”

The door closed with a click.

Wen Zhecheng stood in front of the closed door, stunned for a long time. When he finally came to his senses, he realized that his face was hot, and there was a slight soreness at the corners of his mouth—as if he wanted to laugh but forcibly held it back, causing some facial muscles to twitch.

Heesh.

Wen Zhecheng covered the spot where Rong Yuheng had kissed him, his whole body tingling with pink bubbles. He sweetly floated back to his own room.

Wen Zhecheng thought: His Rong Rong may be a bit shy, but he’s so sweet. He already thought he was sweet before they started dating, but after dating, it was like he wanted to steal his life.

After resetting their relationship status to “dating,” the two of them spent a sweet night separately. The next morning, when Rong Yuheng woke up, Shi Qiu nearly had a mental breakdown.

“What happened to your mouth?”

Shi Qiu stood in front of Rong Yuheng’s bed, and Rong Yuheng was still sitting on it, a dazed look on his face, with a stray hair swaying gently in the morning breeze. His lips were bright red and slightly swollen.

A fleeting thought crossed Shi Qiu’s mind: Did he… get ravished?

Rong Yuheng pointed at the coffee table. “Had some late-night snacks last night.”

“Did you eat jellyfish?” Shi Qiu was utterly perplexed until she walked over and saw the dazzling redness, “…”

Impressive.

Shi Qiu said, “You dared to eat something this spicy before filming. Let’s see if Director Qian scolds you.”

“…”

Although this was Wen Zhecheng’s responsibility, the responsible and mature Rong Yuheng decided to take the blame himself.

He hung his head in shame and adopted Wen Zhecheng’s words, “In life, one can’t be perfect all the time. We all make mistakes…”

Shi Qiu coldly chuckled, “As a responsible manager, I choose zero tolerance.”

Rong Yuheng’s unfinished words were instantly choked back, “…”

Indeed, his forgiveness for Wen Zhecheng was based on his selfless love.

Although Rong Yuheng’s lips were slightly swollen, they had mostly subsided after half an hour of icing by the time he arrived at the film set. A little makeup touch-up would be perfectly fine for filming.

Shi Qiu had already let this matter go, but the next moment, she saw Wen Zhecheng’s business car parked not far away. Wen Zhecheng got out of the car, holding an ice pack to his mouth, and his lips were slightly red.

Shi Qiu, “…”

Nervously, Rong Yuheng averted his gaze and sneakily moved towards the dressing room. As a non-combatant, he needed to evacuate the scene as soon as possible.

Only a few steps away, Rong Yuheng heard Shi Qiu call out to Wen Zhecheng from behind, saying, “Teacher Wen!”

Wen Zhecheng responded with an “Hmm.”

Shi Qiu asked, “Did you also have spicy late-night snacks?”

Wen Zhecheng replied, “I was craving something spicy yesterday, so I forced Rong Rong to eat with me.”

Shi Qiu paused and said, “…” It sounded more believable without the word “forced.”

Rong Yuheng, who had been moving, stopped in his tracks. He turned to look at Wen Zhecheng. The latter had lowered his head slightly, clearly in a posture of admitting a mistake. He was sincerely apologizing to his manager, without a trace of the demeanor of a three-time Golden Award-winning actor.

Suddenly, a warm feeling surged in Rong Yuheng’s heart, and he felt a bit touched. Perhaps, it’s not easy to become a better person for someone, but it’s even harder to let go of one’s ego for someone.

Rong Yuheng slowly moved back to join Wen Zhecheng in response to Shi Qiu’s meaningful gaze. The two of them walked together, all sticky and affectionate, towards the dressing room.

On the way, Rong Yuheng sniffed and his eyes filled with emotion. “Owner, you took the blame for me…”

Wen Zhecheng looked at him indulgently and expressed his affection with cheesy words, “I’m willing to carry a gigantic pot for you for a lifetime.”

Rong Yuheng’s emotional gaze gradually froze. After pausing for two seconds, he whispered, “I don’t think I’ve caused that much trouble.”

After completing today’s scene, the cast and crew would soon transition to the upgraded storyline for Huai Qing. Juyan and the members of the LinTian Gang would temporarily go offline due to factors such as the season and location.

Due to reasons like the season and location, the later scenes for “Juyan” couldn’t be shot in advance. Therefore, He Zuo left the set first and planned to return later to continue filming.

When it was time for him to leave, everyone in the crew who knew him went to see him off. He Zuo hugged each of them one by one. Finally, he reached out and ruffled Rong Yuheng’s head and said, “Perform well.”

Rong Yuheng nodded. “Of course, of course. We’ll be waiting for you to come back, Big Brother He.”

He Zuo smiled, turned around, and got into his car.

After seeing He Zuo off, the group headed back. Suddenly, Rong Yuheng felt that there was an extra person beside him. He turned to look and found it was his owner, Wen Zhecheng.

Wen Zhecheng was looking at him with a jealous expression, glaring at the top of his head. His eyes were filled with intense dissatisfaction.

“It’s not like we’re sharing a hamster, so why are you messing with my fur?”

Rong Yuheng quickly moved his head closer. “How about you ‘rua’ it back?”

Wen Zhecheng stared at his fluffy head for a moment, then shamelessly felt tempted.

But there were people from the crew all around, and Shi Qiu and Qu Youhe were watching closely, afraid that they might cross boundaries.

Wen Zhecheng could only regretfully dismiss the enticing thought. “Let’s wait until we get back to the hotel before ‘rua-ing’ it slowly.”

The crew continued shooting for several days. Just when Rong Yuheng thought he could have an ordinary love relationship with his owner, a wave of excitement suddenly surged on Weibo.

@GossipFish: #JourneyofthePlainRobes# The CP I ship has become a reality! [Pictures][Pictures]

When Rong Yuheng saw this Weibo post, he was suddenly alarmed. Did he and his owner get exposed so soon? He hadn’t even prepared for it yet!

However, when Rong Yuheng quickly clicked into the post, he realized that it had nothing to do with him and Wen Zhecheng. Instead, it was about “He Tianyu.”

The pictures showed the scene of their cast and crew bidding farewell to He Zuo. The post only included the two photos of He Zuo hugging Rong Yuheng and patting his head.

Underneath the post, there was an uproar of excitement from fans of the “He Tianyu” ship: It’s real! The CP I ship has come true!

Rong Yuheng, “…”

Rong Yuheng was initially shocked but quickly realized that this was not about him and Wen Zhecheng. Apart from “Ze Cheng Yi Yu,” all the other CPs were fake!

After the initial shock, Rong Yuheng’s first reaction was to find Wen Zhecheng. He didn’t mind the false CPs himself, but what about Wen Zhecheng?

He urgently searched for Wen Zhecheng in a corner of the set, and he found him. Wen Zhecheng had his back turned, and his broad shoulders were shaking slightly…

Rong Yuheng’s pupils contracted. Could it be that his owner was really crying silently in a secluded corner where no one could see?

Rong Yuheng quickly approached, reached out, and pressed his hand on Wen Zhecheng’s shoulder, trying to convey strength. “Owner, you need to stay strong…”

Wen Zhecheng turned around at his words.

His handsome face showed no signs of tears. Instead, his pupils were filled with dazzling brilliance.

Rong Yuheng paused and asked, “…What are you doing?”

Wen Zhecheng was typing rapidly, and due to his heightened emotions, his shoulders were trembling slightly. He spoke softly, “You don’t need to pay attention to the rumors online. Leave it all to me.”

Rong Yuheng nodded and said, “Alright.”

However, considering Wen Zhecheng’s previous history of hacking accounts, he couldn’t help but ask one more question, “What do you plan to do?”

Wen Zhecheng reassured him, “I’ll have my team help clear up the rumors for you.” He added, “Don’t worry, I’ve successfully kept it a secret from Qu Youhe.”

Rong Yuheng: … No, he couldn’t completely let his guard down!

He even considered buying a standing-room ticket and leaving overnight. Would he make it in time?

Rong Yuheng had never seen a celebrity’s rumored relationship cleared up with the help of another rumored partner!!

Author’s note: Wen Zhecheng: Don’t believe rumors, don’t spread rumors. I’m a professional at debunking!

Rong Yuheng (quickly checking his phone): What time is the next available train? I hope I don’t get caught by Qu Youhe.
