34-day marriage

Jiang Wei carefully observed Gu Tingshen's expression and found that President Gu had no dissatisfaction. On the contrary, he was smiling as he watched Ye Zhenzhen banter with netizens online, clearly enjoying the feeling of being protected by his little wife.

He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that today's recording should go smoothly.

"Okay, if you want to see it, I'll wear it for you after the recording is finished." Seeing that she was annoyed by the netizens, Gu Tingshen stepped forward, put his arm around her shoulder, pulled her into his arms, and gently comforted her.

The comments section in the live stream exploded immediately.

Ahhh, I'm totally shipping them!

[President Gu's smile is so doting!]

Why wait until filming is finished before wearing it?! We want to see it too!!!

I want to hug and comfort Zhenzhen too!!

【I also want to be hugged and comforted by President Gu!!】

Unable to resist, the group was taken to the dressing room for styling.

The entire makeup process was broadcast live, with the director switching between different camera angles based on comments in the comment section.

Jiang Wei was worried that the audience might get bored, but the comment section of the live stream was incredibly lively, with viewers finding ways to entertain themselves.

I just saw the accessories for Pigsy and the Bull Demon King in the corner—bull horns and pig ears! They're so funny!

[Liu Wei's entire face was painted black by the makeup artist, hahaha]

[Director Zhou looked utterly hopeless before entering the dressing room, it cracked me up.]

Jingyi's jade rabbit costume is so cute! Where can I buy this rabbit fur trimmed cape?!

Wow, the female benefactors look absolutely stunning!

Yan Feng and Zhang Siqing's twins, whose makeup was the easiest to do, finished their styling first and sat to the side waiting.

[Wow, Brother Yan's Tang Sanzang looks like he's a formidable fighter.]

Wow, the twins, Red Boy and his sister, are absolutely stunning! They look like little children from back in the day!

[Gold and red are definitely perfect for kids! We'll take some matching photos next week for my daughter's birthday!]

Although the female guests all had long hair, they still added a lot of wigs to create a classic hairstyle, and the final result was quite stunning.

"Lanuo's flying bun hairstyle with the phoenix hairpin is so beautiful!" Ye Zhenzhen exclaimed, admiring Lanuo's hairstyle. "The cinnabar dot between her eyebrows makes her look just like the Moon Goddess Chang'e!"

"You're making me blush with your compliments," Lanno said with a slight smile. "Your look is so cute and lively, it suits your age perfectly."

The comments section was filled with people drooling over the screen.

【Aaaaaaah, Pigsy is actually me!!!】

[I also want to witness a celestial wedding! Zhenzhen is so cute and adorable!!!]

The thought that all these women are already taken makes my heart bleed...

Wang Liqing, sitting opposite them, stood up with a smile, and the live stream audience exclaimed in unison: 【Greetings, Your Majesty!】

Wang Liqing wore a large red phoenix hairpin on her head, which was dignified and elegant. Her bright yellow outer robe and black bodice were embroidered with a peony, which was exquisite, beautiful and graceful.

Of the four, only Zhang Siqing's outfit wasn't a dress, but rather a smart, light red chiffon trousers.

He walked over carrying two swords, casually twirling them in a dazzling display that dazzled everyone.

[Yo yo yo yo yo yo yo, so cool!!!]

[My sister hit me! Hit me now!!]

Why was I so focused on watching the monkeys? I didn't even remember any of those pretty ladies...

As Jiang Wei watched the number of online users increase, he excitedly clenched his fist. Just then, a staff member ran up to him and said, "The makeup artist wants you to discuss Mr. Gu's styling."

"What's wrong with President Gu's look?" Jiang Wei's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly headed towards the men's dressing room.

Upon entering the small dressing room, Jiang Wei noticed that everyone was quietly gazing in one direction.

There was a full-length mirror there, and Gu Tingshen was standing there wearing a black cross-collar shirt. His broad shoulders and wide back accentuated the sharp lines of the loose shirt.

He wore the loose, dark monk's robe with a dashing and unrestrained air; the two lapels were not fastened and were naturally open, revealing clearly visible chest and abdominal muscles.

She has a really great figure; all the male staff in the room were secretly glancing at her with envy.

The young stylist He Chao, wearing glasses, was standing in front of him, holding a fake silicone belly that was a must-have for a Pigsy (Zhu Bajie) costume, looking quite conflicted.

He Chao was a special effects makeup artist specially hired by Jiang Wei; his technical skills and aesthetic sense are top-notch in the industry. Of course, talented people usually have their own ideas.

The makeup artist, looking at the most handsome Pigsy she had created, really didn't want to stick that ugly belly onto such a perfect body. "That's a waste of talent, you know? A waste of talent!"

Upon seeing Director Jiang enter, he excitedly rushed forward, pointing to Gu Tingshen behind him, "Look, I think this Pigsy look is perfect as it is, it doesn't need that fake belly at all!"

Jiang Wei followed his hand and looked at President Gu. Even dressed in the monk's robes, President Gu's handsome appearance was still stylish and dashing. The black hat and gold headband on his head did not detract from his handsome features at all.

The men's makeup wasn't as heavy, so he couldn't see any changes on Gu Tingshen's face at all. The makeup artist had only given him a small pig nose, and hadn't even put on the pig ears yet.

Jiang Wei glanced at Gu Tingshen, then at the grotesque fake belly, and hesitated for a moment.

"I'm open to either, but I'm worried the audience won't approve!" Jiang Wei said, then turned to Gu Tingshen and tentatively asked, "Mr. Gu, which look do you prefer?"

"I'm fine with anything." Gu Tingshen remained calm, appearing ready to follow instructions.

Jiang Wei stroked his chin and waved his hand at He Chao, who was about to say something, "Okay, this look was chosen by the audience. Let the audience decide the final result, alright?"

He pressed his earpiece to signal the director to turn the live stream camera this way, then gestured to He Chao, saying, "Whether you can change the audience's mind depends on you."

The comments in the live stream disappeared completely for a moment, and the next moment the comment section was quickly flooded with "ahhhhhh!"

[Holy shit!!!]

My nose just started bleeding!

[Who understands? Even a pig's nose doesn't detract from his handsomeness!!!]

[What are you standing there for? Take a screenshot, ladies!!!]

[Those abs, pecs, and long legs... I'm getting a nosebleed!]

[What kind of male bodhisattva is Mr. Gu? How could I possibly be worthy of witnessing such a scene?!]

[Give the stylist a bonus!]

[Anyone who says Ye Gu isn't truly in love, I'll throw this picture in their face!!! President Gu is going all out for Zhenzhen!!!]

The screen full of screaming chickens boosted He Chao's confidence. Facing the camera, he cleared his throat and said, "Hello everyone, we have some disagreements about President Gu's styling."

"This is the fake belly that Pigsy always wears, and I'm sure everyone recognizes it. But it doesn't match President Gu's look at all, so I'd like to ask for everyone's opinion on whether or not to use this fake belly."

As He Chao spoke, he picked up the lump of flesh-colored silicone and held it up in front of Gu Tingshen.

[What is that?! Take it away! Get it away from our CEO Gu!!]

[Take +1]

...

【Take it + ID number!!!】

"Next, those who agree that you don't want to use a fake belly, please type '1' in the chat. Those who want to use a fake belly, please type '2'." He Chao looked at the comments and felt confident.

As expected, the reply [1] flooded the screen, and the few [2] replies were quickly scrolled away, thus finalizing Gu Tingshen's look.

Please, even if I don't need a fake belly, the look has to be accurate. This cross-collar top can't be tied up tight!!

[The abacus beads upstairs almost hit my face, but well said!! Pigsy should be bare-chested and showing his belly!!!]

He Chao slyly loosened Gu Tingshen's lapels before fastening his belt. With the lapels slightly open, his abs were faintly visible, making him look even more alluring.

In this way, everyone is happy.

Each group has its own storyline to perform. The various scenes in the film studio have been set up, and the guests and extras have arrived one after another.

Ye Zhenzhen drew the first group. Some of the other groups needed to come and act out a scene, while the other guests who didn't have any tasks for the time being watched excitedly from the sidelines.

Led by the staff, Ye Zhenzhen entered an antique-style room, which was decorated almost exactly like the scenes in Journey to the West.

She was stunned when she looked up. In the room, besides a middle-aged actress playing the role of the Old Mother of Lishan, there were five or six other women with similar appearances to her.

One of them smiled and gracefully approached her, taking her hand and leading her behind the screen. "Sister Zhenzhen, you've finally arrived! Tang Sanzang and his disciples will be here soon. We must act convincingly and put their Buddhist hearts to the test!"

Good grief, it's starting already?

Ye Zhenzhen smiled and nodded, recalling this scene from the Journey to the West she had watched before, and asked somewhat strangely, "Sister, why are there so many more sisters?"

"These are all helpers that Old Mother Lishan found. You must hold back and not make a sound, or you'll ruin everything," the actor said with a smile, giving him a serious instruction.

[Haha, the director is clever. Picking one out of three is way too easy.]

Wow, that's ruthless! They brought out seven of them with the same look!

[Zhenzhen was confused, not understanding how the 3 sisters turned into 7 fairies, hahaha]

[Her smile is so charming and innocent. Why didn't any directors cast her in period dramas before? Her looks are absolutely stunning!!!]

[Mom, I'm in love again! Zhenzhen's hairstyle makes her look so young, she can't be any older than 16!!!]

The camera then pans to the outside of the screen, where the four masters and disciples enter and exchange greetings with the Old Mother of Lishan.

Yan Feng, who played Tang Sanzang, entered the room with a monk's staff in hand. Behind him were Gu Sinan as Sun Wukong, Gu Tingshen as Zhu Bajie, and an extra, Sha Wujing.

"...We, mother and daughters, a total of eight, are about to sit on the mountain and seek husbands." After reciting her lines, the Old Mother of Lishan smiled and called out to those behind the screen, "Daughters, come out!"

"They're here!" A burst of laughter rang out, and a group of beautiful women emerged from behind the screen. Seven women of similar height and with identical makeup stood in a row outside, creating quite a sight.

Yan Feng immediately understood the show's sinister intentions. He covered his face with his teacup, his lips twitched, and he glanced at Gu Tingshen beside him.

Ye Zhenzhen followed the crowd, taking small, quick steps as she walked out. After stopping, following the instructions of the Old Mother of Lishan, she performed a curtsy like the extras around her before raising her eyes to look around.

[Hahahaha, Ye Zhenzhen's pupils dilated in shock!]

[Who am I? Where am I? Why does your old Gu have a pig nose?!]

[How funny, her thoughts are written all over her face!! It's too late to hide her face with her sleeve, I saw her shoulders shaking!!!]

Before the seven people went up one by one, they were introduced by the Old Mother of Lishan, who teased the four masters and disciples in circles.

[Brother Yan's Tang Sanzang looks like he could take on eight!!]

[Nan Nan's Sun Wukong is so cute! I want to pick him up and give him a rub!]

[President Gu's character is really handsome, but he's also really breaking character; he's not at all blinded by beautiful women.]

[Exactly! It's terrible! It doesn't look lecherous at all. Thumbs down!]

[President Gu's expression didn't change at all, but it completely changed as soon as Zhenzhen appeared!!!]

“This is my youngest daughter, named Zhenzhen.” Old Mother Lishan pulled Ye Zhenzhen closer, smiled and tapped her, “She’s the most spoiled of all.”

Ye Zhenzhen glanced at Gu Tingshen's version of Zhu Bajie across from her, her gaze falling on the small pig nose. She lowered her head to suppress a laugh, and dimples appeared on her flushed cheeks.

Gu Tingshen's gaze fell on those two adorable dimples.

After performing the rites, the seven people retreated behind the screen.

I'm about to fall head over heels in Zhenzhen's dimples, help!

[Is Mr. Gu smiling? He's a completely different person when Zhenzhen comes out!!!]

[I'd like to request the song "My Eyes Are Only On You" for President Gu.]

[Haha, now that Zhenzhen's gone, President Gu is back to his "don't mess with me" attitude!]

[So sweet, so sweet, so sweet! I'm stuffed from all this dog food! Director Jiang has to compensate me!!]

The plot quickly progressed to the celestial wedding. The other members of the master and disciples all retreated to watch the spectacle from behind the camera.

As Gu Sinan left, she kept turning back, her face, covered in golden monkey hair, displaying a conflicted expression.

[Nan Nan's face was full of worry, haha, is she afraid Daddy won't be able to find Mommy?]

“I have seven daughters, but you are the only one willing to be my son-in-law. I’m afraid my other daughters won’t want to marry anyone else.” After saying this, Old Mother Lishan paused, took out a red veil, and handed it to Gu Tingshen. “How about this, you use this red veil to cover your face and have a marriage arranged by fate!”

Gu Tingshen took the veil, and without hesitation, shook it open and put it on himself.

[Hahahaha, I've saved so many screenshots, really, I have all of President Gu's embarrassing past!]

[Wow, why does my face feel a little red when I cover it up? I was just laughing. Mr. Gu's abs... *slurp*]

[Warning from upstairs neighbor: How can you have such a dirty mind?!]

[I'm a student, I'll watch first!! I really want to lick the screen!!!]

Some viewers were still focused on the main storyline.

[Oh no, Mr. Gu is about to make a mess of things! This veil doesn't let any light through at all!!]
