In China, it's relatively rare for opposite-sex couples to have fans, because that involves rumors between men and women. But it's different for same-sex couples. Plus, both of them have had or have had girlfriends, and it's a straightforward brotherly relationship. This kind of couple is easier for female fans to accept.

Moreover, the two of them are really good-looking... Regardless of whether it's real or not, they're just looking at each other and it's so sweet!

Back when the nine-grid image of Master Xu Qian was released, many skilled video editors on iSite were already eager to create their own versions. Unfortunately, Xu Qian hasn't released any usable material yet. The few videos that have surfaced are either behind-the-scenes footage or low-resolution clips, with virtually no usable footage. However, there are some photos available. Isn't Master Xu Qian amazing?

However, the fragrance is only in photos; what about video footage? The more the big shots think about it, the more frustrated they become. When will "Nightfall" finally air? If it doesn't air, they won't even have any footage to edit!

The news online is getting hotter and hotter. Even screenwriter Wen's Weibo is flooded with comments from fans who love good looks. They're all asking when "The Night of the Red" will air. They've watched the trailer countless times. When will we get an accurate date?

When screenwriter Wen went online for the first time, she saw the comments below, and many people praised her for her good eye for casting, saying that every character was a perfect fit for the role. Seeing this, screenwriter Wen couldn't help but feel proud. She had seen it all in the entertainment industry, and as a fellow fan of good looks, she certainly knew what the audience liked.

However, she really couldn't talk about the release date. Although it was set for June, the main issue now was the press conference. There were a few actors whose schedules didn't match up. They had agreed on the 23rd the day before yesterday, but then the male lead had a problem and went straight to the hospital, so he couldn't come.

"...Hey, Mr. Bai, uh...oh, okay, okay, I got it." It's like everything I said came true! The company confirmed the date, still the 23rd. They said the male lead can't come, so he can't come. If all else fails, they'll just record a VCR; they can't wait any longer.

After hanging up the phone, screenwriter Wen hummed a song in a good mood, scrolled through the comments below, and picked a lucky person to pick – see you on June 23rd!

After she finished, she stopped reading and took out the second version of the script of "Mirage Tower" to check it again. This check took up another whole night.

After a day of rest, Xu Qian returned to the film crew.

His current focus is on filming "The Palace," and he also has "Mirage Tower" written by Wen Zhang to work on. Although that's next month, by the time "Mirage Tower" officially starts filming and his scenes are filmed, Xu Qian's scenes in "The Palace" will basically be finished.

The film and television city is just as bustling as ever today. As the largest film and television base in China, it can be said that 70% of the film and television works produced in China come from here, and Weicheng has also become a first-tier city in China.

As soon as Xu Qian arrived at the filming studio, Liu Weirui grabbed him and gave him a bag of mango shaved ice. Liu, who was also a mango lover, would buy a lot of mango shaved ice every summer and distribute it to the crew members. The film crew in the summer was like a natural furnace. It was okay for the crew filming modern dramas, but the crew filming period dramas were so hot that everyone was drenched in sweat and could be wrung out of water in a minute.

But Xu Qian is different. He hardly sweats at all. Even in the hottest weather, his face only turns slightly red. He's practically a miracle on set. Both male and female actors are incredibly envious of his physique. People like him don't need makeup touch-ups at all when filming! It's really too much!

Although there was a little jealousy, the "Palace" production team still treated Xu Qian, the actor, quite well. One of the reasons, and the most important one, was that he was one of the people from Yimi Sunshine, meaning they were one of their own.

Not only is he good-looking, but he also has a down-to-earth personality and his acting skills are improving rapidly.

On set, the staff dread the younger generation of actors the most, as they often interrupt scenes. When one actor interrupts, the entire crew has to stop filming, which is unbearable in this sweltering heat! So, everyone is happy to give a good-natured and rapidly improving young actor like Xu Qian a smile, and there will be many more opportunities to work together in the future!

Xu Qian had a fairly carefree time on the set of "The Palace". When he wasn't filming, he would gather around the director or other senior actors to learn from them. His diligent appearance was worthy of the care from Yimi Sunshine.

...

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Sheng Huai, who was filming in the next-door neighboring film crew, came over for a visit and brought some gifts.

"Sheng Huai's here. He doesn't seem busy today." The person who spoke to him was a makeup artist from the film crew, who had worked with Sheng Huai several times before.

"Yes, yes, I came to visit a friend." Sheng Huai nodded with a smile.

“Here—” Xu Qian saw him as he came in and greeted him from the corner.

Sheng Huai jogged over and handed him an apple, which was freshly taken out of the freezer and was ice-cold.

"So early today?" Xu Qian took the apple and took a bite.

"Well, I don't have many scenes today." Sheng Huai said as he unscrewed his teacup, which contained the light bamboo leaf tea that Xu Qian had recommended to him. Putting everything else aside, it really relieved his recent dry mouth.

"Let's play basketball together after you're done on your end." Xu Qian saw that Sheng Huai had posted on his WeChat Moments yesterday that he wanted to play basketball, and he was also thinking about it.

Sheng Huai's eyes lit up, and he said, "I can do it today! Old Xu! Shall we go?!"

Xu Qian added, "There's a basketball court downstairs from my house."

Sheng Huai nodded hurriedly, "Okay, then I'll wait until you're done."

The two hit it off immediately, while Yan Lang watched longingly from the sidelines. He was tall but didn't know how to play basketball, which made him very sad.

After finishing their work, the four of them, along with Yan Lang and Xiao A, went to a sour soup beef hot pot restaurant. In Sheng Huai's words, this was a secret restaurant of his, and the taste was absolutely amazing. He wouldn't tell just anyone.

When the hot pot arrived, Xu Qian carefully took a bite. Wow, the taste was indeed quite good, sour enough!

With an expression that said, "See, I wasn't wrong," Sheng Huai personally prepared a dipping sauce for Xu Qian, looking utterly smug. "This is my secret recipe!"

Since the other party had said so, Xu Qian naturally had to give them face and took another bite. Hmm, it's good! It suits his taste!

Yan Lang, standing to the side, looked at the dipping sauce on the table beside the two of them and trembled slightly. He didn't even have the desire to try it; eating it dry was just fine.

Like Xu Qian, Xiao A also loves chili peppers.

If ranked by their tolerance for spiciness, it would be roughly: Xu Qian > Xiao A > Sheng Huai > Yan Lang.

The four of them ate to their hearts' content, but Xiao A seemed hesitant to speak, though she ultimately didn't say anything.

Before leaving, Xu Qian made a note of the place, planning to bring the Meng brothers and Peng Fei to try it next time he had the chance.

Since Sheng Huai was going to play basketball with him later, Xu Qian told Yan Lang to drive back directly, while he went with Sheng Huai's car.

Xu Qian lives in a residential area in the city. It's been around for quite a while and has well-developed facilities. The park in the community is very lively in the evenings, and the basketball court is especially bustling.

Since both of them had just eaten, and the basketball court was occupied by a group of students at this time, Xu Qian asked Sheng Huai to come to his house for a while and borrow some clothes that would be more comfortable for exercising.

Meng Ziqiu opened the door. He knew that Xu Qian and Sheng Huai had arranged to play ball downstairs today, and he had even prepared the sports water they were going to drink.

Sheng Huai had met Meng Ziqiu before. When he first met Xu Qian, Meng Ziqiu was by Xu Qian's side. He just didn't expect that the two were actually related.

Meng Ziqiu laughed heartily, "It doesn't seem like it, does it? I also think it doesn't seem like it, but it really is!"

Upon entering, Sheng Huai discovered that although Xu Qian's place wasn't particularly large, it had a strong sense of home and felt very cozy, just like... a home.

Not only that, Sheng Huai also found several pots of lettuce that had just been planted on the balcony. When he asked, he found out that Xu Qian had planted them. He actually grows vegetables on the balcony.

Xu Qian was also a little embarrassed, scratching his head sheepishly, "It's just that buying groceries is usually quite a hassle, and lettuce isn't hard to grow. You can just pick some to go with your noodles..."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Huai was both amused and exasperated. In all his years in the industry, this was the first time he had encountered a young person growing vegetables. In his memory, only his grandfather's generation would often tend to flowers and plants in their small gardens.

Xu Qian still wanted to salvage the situation, saying, "It shouldn't be too difficult..."

Sheng Huai chuckled, squatted down, took a picture with his phone, and then said to Xu Qian behind him, "Do you have any extra lettuce seeds? I'd like to get a couple to try planting."

Xu Qian's expression became even stranger, and he looked at him with great suspicion, "Are you sure?"

Sheng Huai nodded.

"Alright." Xu Qian didn't say anything more when he saw him nod. Anyway, he had a lot of lettuce seeds in his backpack, so he could take them if he wanted them.

On this trip, Sheng Huai not only swindled a bag of seeds from Xu Qian, but also an empty pot.

Sheng Huai, holding the basin, said happily, "I'll take good care of it when I get back. Once it's ripe, I'll bring it back to you, and then we'll stir-fry it!"

Xu Qian clicked his tongue in disapproval. "Listen to this," he thought, "is this even human language? They haven't even planted the plants yet and they're already thinking about how to eat them."

"It's almost time, shall we go down and fight a few more times?"

"I'll go get the ball—" Meng Ziqiu said as he went to another balcony to find the basketball.

After grabbing the basketball, the four hurried downstairs. The group of students had just been called home by their parents, and if they were late, they didn't know if another student would be caught.

Fortunately, there were hardly any people left when they came down. The four of them formed two pairs: Xu Qian and Meng Ziqiu, and Sheng Huai and his assistant, Xiao A.

Xu Qian passed the ball to Sheng Huai, meaning they would go first.

Sheng Huai gently tossed the basketball in his hand into the air, revealing a very confident smile. When it comes to basketball, he was once the star player of the school team. Underestimating him would be a mistake.

"It's open!"

...

That evening, Sheng Huai updated his Weibo with a picture of a pot filled with fresh lettuce, and another picture of seeds and an empty pot. He wrote the following:

Sheng Huai V:

/Kuwo post #4, I must grow lettuce!

[Image][Image]

Meanwhile, his fans on Weibo were all watching the drama unfold.

[Kid, you made the same vow last time you practiced calligraphy—]

[What's wrong with the person upstairs! We should encourage our kid if he wants to grow vegetables! (A motherly gaze)]

[Haha, Farmer Huai, I'm totally seeing it in my head! ~~~~]

[Is I the only one curious about who planted this vegetable?]

[Curiosity +1]

[It's decoded! Sisters, you'll know once you move to the super topic~]

[After watching the decoding, I'm back, and I only have one thing to say—I'm a CPSZD fan!]

[I'm actually starting to find Lao Xu's "old cadre" persona a bit appealing...?]

[Handshake to the person upstairs! Although Old Xu's food is quite salty, it's edible!]

[Who would have thought that behind Lao Xu's vibrant and alluring image, her hobby is actually—growing vegetables?]

[Reporting to the organization! They went out for hot pot together yesterday!]

[They not only ate hot pot, but also played basketball /doge]

[Okay, my girlfriend fans are saying: I allow this! /kiss]
