No matter how good he is, he's still just a man.

The next day, Chi Ruoyi was woken up by a phone call from his agent. When he turned on his phone, major media outlets such as Weibo were all showing photos of him carrying Shen Ye and the two of them entering the apartment together the night before. The headlines were so sensational that you wanted to call the person who posted them out for a chat, and no one could stop them.

'Actor Chi Ruoyi has had zero scandals in his years in the industry; it turns out he doesn't like women, but rather him!'

Intimate photos of Chi Ruoyi with a mysterious man late at night have been exposed, suggesting the two have been living together and out as gay for many years.

The Swan Who Wants to Eat a Toad: "The man looks weak and frail; he's probably a bottom."

I'm a fairy who only drinks dew: "Oh no, that's the sound of a heart breaking."

Mickey Mouse?: "These days, all the handsome guys are gay, leaving only some oddballs with normal sexual orientations. So, sisters, hurry up and rescue any handsome guys you meet, or we can't let our army of single women grow bigger and bigger."

If life were only as beautiful as the first encounter: "Homosexuality is true love, heterosexuality is just for procreation. What celebrities like is their own privacy. People who take photos secretly are despicable. I'll book the 18th level of hell for them in advance."

Liu Sanhao: "Excuse my bluntness, but for some reason I can't like homosexuals; I always find them disgusting. (Personal opinion, please be gentle.)"

My love is always blooming: "I don't care, I don't care, even if my crush doesn't like someone else, I'll still love and support him."

"A waterfall cascades down three thousand feet: My husband actually likes men, sobbing and crying, the sound of my heart breaking."

"....."

Within just a few hours, this kind of gossip firmly held the top spot on Weibo's trending topics. Some people offered their blessings, some cursed, some were just watching the drama unfold, and some were smug.

I called the agent back. "Aren't we going to deal with this kind of news? Are we just going to leave it out until the New Year?"

Chi Ruoyi was genuinely furious about the news. He was a straight man, yet he was being called a homosexual, and in a way that was known to the entire nation. How could he not be angry?

"Damn it, if I could handle this, would I be calling you?" The voice on the other end of the phone was full of helplessness. "But on another note, this photo is so well-composited, there's no trace of Photoshop. You're a master!"

Chi Ruoyi threw the phone far away, swore, and his mind was in complete chaos.

Half an hour later, the agent arrived, took out the spare key, opened the door, and came in. The moment the agent saw Shen Ye, he automatically imagined several major battles.

It was at this moment that the agent realized that all those photos were real!

...

Shen Ye sat next to Chi Ruoyi, watching his manager pacing back and forth in front of him, scratching his head and cheeks. He then looked at Chi Ruoyi, who remained silent, and asked helplessly, "Is this rumor really that serious?"

"What do you think? Our Ah Yi has never had a scandal in all these years since he debuted. But you, we've only known each other for less than a month and you've already created a scandal. Tell me, which media outlet hired you to ruin us?"

"I wasn't hired by the media to harm him. I don't know anything about the photos from last night."

"cut....."

"Besides, now is not the time to pursue these things. The most important thing right now is to figure out how to clear Chi Ruoyi's name. I don't want Chi Ruoyi to be labeled as gay because of me." He said nice things, but what he was really thinking was: Which media outlet took these photos and reported them? Well done, I'll add an extra chicken leg to my lunchbox.

Chi Ruoyi pinched the bridge of her nose, closed her eyes, and seemed lost in thought.
