The Most Popular Comedian

Wen Zhecheng never expected it would be this kind of “exciting brotherly interaction”!

His budding enthusiasm was instantly extinguished.

As if on a roller coaster ride, from Rong Yuheng’s mention of “not wearing clothes,” rushing to its peak, and then sliding down to “Haier Brothers”…

After collecting her thoughts, Shi Qiu said, “If you really want to take this endorsement, we can help arrange it, but it depends on whether the brand is willing.”

Wen Zhecheng was the first to object, “I don’t want to.”

Rong Yuheng just glanced at him.

Wen Zhecheng’s momentum weakened instantly, and he reached out to poke the suddenly displeased little hamster. “I don’t want…”

Both Shi Qiu and Qu Youhe were stunned simultaneously: Was Wen Zhecheng throwing a tantrum?

Once Rong Yuheng was poked and felt comfortable, he decided to let bygones be bygones and unilaterally reconciled with Wen Zhecheng.

After adjusting his attitude, Rong Yuheng turned to Shi Qiu with a small face and said, “Sister Qiu, I was just kidding. You can handle it~”

Shi Qiu narrowed her eyes: …Truly a capricious little imp!

Wen Zhecheng, beside him, submitted in a second, his gaze remarkably gentle.

After the filming of “Plain Robes” concluded, the crew dispersed. Apart from the later promotional activities, everyone estimated that it would be challenging to gather together again.

Rong Yuheng and Wen Zhecheng returned together. Once they confirmed the route of “WenwatercooksFans,” the two no longer avoided each other. After getting off the plane, they walked out of the waiting hall together.

Many fans knew their schedule in advance and were waiting at the exit. Whether dedicated fans or CP fans, they all held support signs for their respective idols.

Seeing the two coming out together, the fans instantly became excited. “Wow wow wow,” a burst of chaotic cheers erupted, and they were about to rush towards them.

Even with airport security maintaining order, Rong Yuheng was startled. In reflex, he took a small step back.

Wen Zhecheng raised his hand and pulled Rong Yuheng’s shoulder, protecting him as they moved forward.

The fans collectively fell silent for two seconds, then a low-pitched scream came from within.

“Ah ah ah ah, they hugged…! The meeting in the city is real!!”

Rong Yuheng also heard it. He turned to Wen Zhecheng and said, “Uh…” Wasn’t this too obvious?

Wen Zhecheng understood his concern and whispered, “It’s okay.”

Just as they took a few steps, a hand suddenly stretched out from the crowd, holding a hamster plushie and pushing it towards them. The girl holding the plushie was blushing, not even looking at Wen Zhecheng, just staring at Rong Yuheng.

“Rongrong, I’m your fan! I still remember your profile picture was a little hamster. Please accept this plushie!”

Rong Yuheng felt a bit awkward. He thought it was the fan’s sincerity, and he should accept it. However, taking only this one and not others might seem biased.

The girl extended her arm, still holding the plushie. Wen Zhecheng suddenly took it from her and stuffed it into Rong Yuheng’s arms. “It’s quite cute, just like you.”

Rong Yuheng was stunned for a moment, and the fans nearby were also stunned.

Wen Zhecheng remained composed, seemingly oblivious to any issue with his actions. He turned to the girl who had given the gift and said, “Thank you, it’s very thoughtful.”

The girl’s face turned red all of a sudden.

She exclaimed twice, waved her hands repeatedly, looked at Wen Zhecheng, then at Rong Yuheng, and said in a hurry, “No need to thank me…”

Once the two had walked away, she withdrew her gaze from the backs of the two figures leaving side by side—

Hey, what’s this? Wen Zhecheng seems like a pretty good person… Who knows, yesterday, she was in the Wen Zhecheng fan group saying, “Taking away Rongrong, Rongrong is unique! I’m going to pick him up. I won’t even give Wen Zhecheng a glance!”

This little incident at the airport undoubtedly brought another wave of ecstasy to the fans of “Meeting in the City” CP. Just as the two main actors emerged from the airport, their interaction was broadcasted to various CP groups and forums.

Wen Zhecheng and Rong Yuheng were about to go their separate ways when they reached the parking lot. Wen Zhecheng still seemed reluctant, lowering his head and daydreaming:

“I want to kiss you before you leave.”

On the side, Qu Youhe looked terrified, and Shi Qiu seemed like she was about to shield Rong Yuheng in her embrace!

Rong Yuheng could only cross the barrier formed by the two managers and extended his index and middle fingers to imitate a small figurine, gesturing towards Wen Zhecheng, “We can virtually kiss~”

Wen Zhecheng immediately cooperated, reaching out his hand and touching Rong Yuheng’s fingers, as if the two were giving each other a peck. However, as they continued with their “pecking,” Wen Zhecheng got into the scene and couldn’t resist rubbing Rong Yuheng’s hand a couple of times.

Rong Yuheng, “…”

Qu Youhe closed his eyes firmly, “Damn! Brother Zhe, don’t create these R-rated scenes.”

Wen Zhecheng, with a displeased expression, furrowed his brows, “How is it R-rated? Where is it restricted?”

They hadn’t even kissed; they just touched hands, and he accused him of being restrictive!

Rong Yuheng quickly pacified his little mood, “It’s your rich inner world restricting our impoverished imagination.”

“Oh…”

Wen Zhecheng was successfully cheered up and reverted to his cool and fierce self.

…

After parting ways, Rong Yuheng went straight to the shared apartment for rehearsals. During the time he was filming, the STAR-T team had participated in two variety shows. Fortunately, they hadn’t done any group performances, or they would have been short-staffed.

Apart from group activities and performances, team members also had their individual commitments. When Rong Yuheng returned to the apartment, only Tang Ji and Huang Jianing were in the dorm. They knew Rong Yuheng was coming back today and intentionally waited in the living room, welcoming him together.

“Rongbao is back. How does it feel to finish shooting?”

Rong Yuheng tossed his backpack on the sofa, still holding a hamster plushie. The two heads, one above the other, looked remarkably similar.

“It feels like finally finishing something!” 

Huang Jianing reached out to pinch the hamster in his arms, “Why do I feel like you can’t wait to come back? Don’t you miss Teacher Wen?”

Tang Ji widened his eyes, looking at Huang Jianing: Wasn’t that question too direct?

Rong Yuheng seemed indifferent, just scratching the hamster’s fur, “What’s the big deal? I can see him anytime I want.”

Huang Jianing said, “True.”

The three chatted for a while, and then Rong Yuheng prepared to go back to his room to pack. He had greetings and schedules lined up, and it seemed like he would be busy for a while.

There were two days off in between, and Rong Yuheng planned to put his earlier conceived “Rong Xing Plan” into practice and, in the meantime, visit his beloved Scallop Dad.

Having arranged to meet Zhou Shubai the next day at noon, Rong Yuheng went to bed early that night—

After all, fooling a domineering CEO required a powerful mental force to support his logical framework.

The next morning, Rong Yuheng slowly sat up from bed, rubbed his eyes, and then flipped out of bed, heading to the kitchen.

As soon as he opened the door, he bumped into Zou Yi. The latter looked quite surprised, even artificially twisting his face, “Am I still not awake? I see Rong Yuheng’s figure before 8 o’clock!”

Rong Yuheng cast a sidelong glance at him, “If you’re not awake, I suggest you go back to sleep, dear.”

In a second, Zou Yi woke up, “No, this mocking tone, it’s definitely not something I imagined in my dreams! You really are Rong Yuheng!”

Rong Yuheng sighed and turned to go downstairs. He was still a bit sleepy and didn’t want to play along with Zou Yi’s nonsense.

Wearing slippers, Zou Yi followed, “Hey, seriously, why are you up so early? Aren’t you often a bed-sleeper?”

Rong Yuheng was quite helpless, “It’s the biological clock formed on the set.”

Zou Yi understood, “You guys are really working hard.” Then, his mind started to wander again, “So, your nightlife with Teacher Wen must be very dissatisfying, right? Having to get up so early, you must finish things early in the evening—”

Before he could finish, Rong Yuheng pinched his lip.

Rong Yuheng’s ears turned red, and he looked quite shocked, “What are you thinking, you pervert!”

Zou Yi blinked twice, then showed an expression even more shocked than Rong Yuheng’s, “You guys… you guys haven’t…?”

Between guys, discussions on such topics were indeed more open, and Rong Yuheng could accept that. However, he still felt a bit embarrassed psychologically.

He attempted to use an elevated tone to cover up his embarrassment, “Of course not! We’ve only been dating for a short time, how could it happen so quickly?”

Zou Yi said, “No, you spend your days and nights together, staying in the same drama set, the same hotel. Don’t you visit each other at night? Doesn’t something happen when you visit?”

Rong Yuheng pulled at his own scalp, “Visiting is just visiting, but just kissing!”

Zou Yi inhaled sharply, his hands gripping his face, almost turning it into a small bun, “Oh my God—Wen Teacher is still a man?”

Rong Yuheng, displeased that his boyfriend was being questioned, raised his voice, “I won’t let you speak ill of him. I’m going to report you!”

Upon hearing this, Zou Yi was silent for two seconds, then he lifted his chin, looking relaxed, “Go ahead, report me.”

Rong Yuheng’s not-so-clear mind was stimulated, and he immediately took out his phone and typed a message.

【Rong Yuheng】: Owner! Zou Yi says you only kiss when you visit the hotel, not a real man! [Sea otter hmm]

After sending the message for two minutes, Zou Yi realized he couldn’t retract it. Then he revealed a sly and cunning expression, “What benefits does questioning Wen Teacher bring to you?”

Rong Yuheng said, “I didn’t question him; it’s you—” He stopped abruptly here, his voice suddenly cut off.

The cold wind of early morning blew in from the window, waking up his muddled mind.

Rong Yuheng suddenly exclaimed, “Damn!” No, this has nothing to do with Wen Zhecheng being questioned. No matter who questions him, the one who will suffer is definitely himself!

After standing there dumbstruck and speechless for several minutes, his phone made a “ding dong” sound, bringing back his consciousness to reality.

【Wen Zhecheng】: If you want it, just say so.

Rong Yuheng, “…”

He—he’s going to shark Zou Yi, this little turtle grandson!!!

Putting aside the dangerous owner for the time being, Rong Yuheng freshened up and prepared to go out. Because he was meeting Zhou Shubai and Brother Zhou for something, he chose a location near Qiu Jianlun’s company, which was a two-hour drive from his apartment.

At 9:30 in the morning, Shi Qiu came over to pick him up, and they arrived at the agreed restaurant at exactly 11:30.

Rong Yuheng reserved a private room, ordered some tea and appetizers, and sat at the table waiting for the others. His WeChat still blinked with messages from Wen Zhecheng, consisting of persistent lines like “You can have it anytime,” “I’m not denying you” and the like.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the door of the private room was pushed open.

Zhou Shubai squeezed in with excitement, “Little Rong! You’ve finished filming, quickly let my brother treat you!”

“…” Rong Yuheng dared not look at Qiu Jianlun’s expression behind Zhou Shubai, “No need, I’ll treat this time.”

“No problem!” Zhou Shubai turned to look at Qiu Jianlun, “Brother, do you have money?”

Qiu Jianlun curled his lips with a charming smile, enchanting everyone, “A man should never say he doesn’t have money.”

Rong Yuheng, “…”

Shut up, having money is not the essential requirement for a real man!

The two sat across from Rong Yuheng, and instinctively opened the menu—people from the Qiu family always ordered the dishes themselves.

Observing these two brothers, Rong Yuheng always felt that the atmosphere between them was much better than the first time they met.

Back then, Qiu Jianlun always wore a stinky face, insisting “don’t mix in the entertainment industry,” while Zhou Shubai was a bit timid, and there was an obvious barrier between the two.

Maybe because they collaborated on a drama, they shared common experiences and feelings, making their relationship much closer.

After Qiu Jianlun handed the menu to the waiter, he interlocked his ten fingers, leaned back slightly against the chair, and asked, “Little Rong, my brother said you wanted to talk about something. What is it?”

Before Rong Yuheng could speak, the screen of his phone, lying on the table, lit up again—without looking, he knew it was a series of enthusiastic messages from someone.

Qiu Jianlun noticed and raised his eyebrows, “Since you’re so busy, you don’t have to rush to meet today. We can talk when you have time. Or do you have urgent matters that must be discussed now?”

Rong Yuheng glimpsed at the screen with those day-and-night messages… His lips stuttered for a moment, saying, “It’s nothing. I just want to do a few good deeds before I die.”

The author has something to say: Rong Yuheng (shedding a tear): I’ve sacrificed too much for this pure sky…

Qiu Jianlun (raising an eyebrow): I don’t understand what you’re talking about.

Zhou Shubai (oblivious): Hey, what are you discussing? Just say my brother will pay!
