Question: I heard that the male lead of that popular drama that just concluded, right when he was about to get famous, retired from the industry to date. Is this true?

Dandelion sneak attack
Under the guidance of Ji Rongyu and other staff members, the children's scenes were completed in just a few days, and Yu Han, who was catching up with the progress in Group B, also announced that he would finish filming ahead of schedule.
She coordinated with the camera perfectly, and she shot in one take every time after changing several camera positions. It was such a lively scene in a sea of flowers, but the spare flowers that were originally expected to be used several times did not even have a chance to be used.
This is not the first time that Yu Han has encountered such a problem, but the director still praises her skills.
"Of course I should," Yu Han said without any modesty, "I'm a child star. I've been looking at the camera since I couldn't even look at the road."
"Good! Great!" Lu Xinyang took the lead in applauding her with the staff, and presented her with the wrap-up gift he had prepared: a bunch of rape flowers interspersed with slender and enchanting sweet potato seedlings, with dew still on the tender green leaves. He picked them himself this morning.
The bright yellow and delicious cauliflower swayed gracefully in the arms of the female star, and the flower roots were wrapped in a piece of pink and orange floral cloth. This was also a small innovation of Lu Xinyang, because the hard thing hidden in the floral cloth was not the floral mud commonly used in flower shops, but a big sweet potato, which he also dug out by hand from the field.
Yu Han lowered his head to smell the fresh fragrance and said with a smile, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Lu Xinyang bared his white teeth.
Compared to his, Wen Zhuo's gift was much more decent, with wrapping and ribbons, and it was obvious that it was prepared early. Yu Han also accepted it with a smile.
Although the filming was over, Yu Han was not in a hurry to catch the car and leave. Instead, she continued to wait for fans, agents, and family and friends who wanted to visit the set to pick her up. Because she didn't like performing in front of too many people, she took the time to finish the filming early.
She took advantage of this time to check on the preparations for the farm lunch she had arranged, and then packed up the costumes she had bought in advance as gifts and gave them to her fans through a raffle.
But none of this mattered to Lu Xinyang. He strolled around leisurely and then nonchalantly approached the cleanest-looking tricycle: "Are these useless?"
"Yes." The person in charge of props nodded.
They specially prepared a lot of flowers for this final scene. Considering the problem of wear and tear during the filming, there were also many whole potted plants placed on the ground for replacement at any time.
"Why don't we put them away?" Lu Xinyang said as he started moving the potted plants on the ground onto the tricycle one by one.
Seeing how enthusiastic he was, the staff didn't want to compete with him for the work, so they just nodded casually: "Yeah, put it all away and take it back later."
He helped to move a pot, but Lu Xinyang looked at it with disdain and returned it before it even fell, saying, "I don't want this one, I want this one."
The staff looked at him in confusion. He was just transporting the goods, so why was he so picky?
Lu Xinyang lingered intently in the sea of flowers. The ground was covered with wood-root bellflowers, blue and white dragonflowers, grape hyacinths, blue-eyed chrysanthemums, double violets, ranunculus, etc., and he could choose any of them. "I want this one, I want this one, but I don't want that one. I want more of this one..."
When the loading platform was filled with his carefully arranged garden art, which looked like a cluster of flowers from a distance and was gorgeous up close, Lu Xinyang nodded with satisfaction, stepped onto the tricycle, kicked off and drove away, and also picked up the remaining large bag of dandelions from in front of the blower.
"Huh?" The staff member was even more puzzled. "Isn't that the direction of the warehouse?"
"He must be going to pick up Teacher Ji again."
"Is Teacher Ji not here?"
"I'm out collecting folk songs."
Since the filming entered the final stage and Ji Rongyu was no longer needed to revise the script with the crew, Ji Rongyu found things to do for himself. Recently, he liked to go out for a walk around the village.
Because the village is so small, careful people would have noticed his whereabouts long ago, and they were accustomed to Lu Xinyang running to pick people up every time.
The weather was still very hot today. Lu Xinyang put on a sleeveless denim sweatshirt. His dark blue hat was blown by the wind onto the back of his messy black hair. He shouted into the wind, "Ji Rongyu!"
He applied the handbrake and stopped at the agreed-upon spot. Ji Rongyu also walked slowly towards him, facing the wind. Lu Xinyang looked at Ji Rongyu's hand carefully. It was empty. His heart suddenly felt a prickling sensation, rising up, hot and itchy.
"Tsk tsk, how much of the crew's belongings did you move out?" Ji Rongyu looked him up and down, his small float, and the bulging plastic bag hanging in front of it. "Didn't they ask you for a deposit?"
"No," Lu Xinyang lowered his head, then said proudly while stepping on the pedals, "I rode out when they weren't paying attention. Come on up."
The back seat of the fancy tricycle was very beautiful and smelled good, but it was too full. Ji Rongyu sat on it with his legs tucked in, carefully placing his hands on the metal guard plate at the edge of the car body.
Lu Xinyang turned around and looked at him: "Why are you leaning there? Just lean on my back."
Ji Rongyu said: "No."
"Why not?"
"No, go on your bike, look at the road, and turn around."
Lu Xinyang said "Oh" and turned back reluctantly. His neck was clearly not sweating yet, but the side of his face was inexplicably red. He must have been holding something back.
Ji Rongyu glanced at his ears which were also red, knowing what was going on, but said nothing.
Lu Xinyang rode forward for a while before he seemed to remember something: "Are Xiaoye and the others out of school again? They seem to be at home most of the time. Is it because they don't have many classes at school?"
"It's probably because the school conditions are not good."
"Then can I donate a school for them?" Lu Xinyang remembered that his parents seemed to have donated a school before, and it was even on the news.
"That's not true," Ji Rongyu explained. "Many places don't lack schools, or rather, they don't lack the one or two rooms where classes can be taught. The bigger problem is that the village environment and treatment are poor, so it's hard to retain teachers and recruit many students."
"...Oh, I see," Lu Xinyang thought for a moment and said, "No wonder they were so excited when they saw the library. They must have never seen a library before, right?"
"Why, you want to donate to the library again?"
"I think," he realized that he had spoken too lightly just now, but now he was serious, "If we can't keep teachers here, at least there will be enough books ready to serve as silent teachers for them. What do you think?"
But his next words were: "But I don't seem to have much money left."
He had spent almost all of the salary he received, and the remaining salary was still withheld, while his pocket money and savings were also withheld by his parents.
"Oh, it seems like I can only make money by selling the car." Lu Xinyang muttered without much confidence.
Ji Rongyu asked: "Why are you out of money? Is it because you gave me all the money?"
"Yeah, huh?" Lu Xinyang thought for a moment, "No, how did you know that?"
"An account that just registered on the first day, with a randomly assigned digital ID above its head, came to invest so much money in me. Of course I guessed it was you," Ji Rongyu said as he took out his phone. "Okay, let me pay for it. I'll transfer it to you."
"No, it's yours if I give it to you. I don't have any money right now, but I can sell some things. For example, I can sell the car I drove during the Chinese New Year. It's still brand new."
"That was a gift from your uncle, right?" Ji Rongyu had heard a little about Lu Xinyang's uncle's personality. "Now that the car isn't in your hands, how are you going to sell it?"
"That should be possible." Lu Xinyang said as he parked the tricycle on the side of the road and took out Xu Ma's WeChat from his mobile phone. He planned to find a reason to let Xu Ma take his car keys and drive the car to his friends, and then let those people help him sell the car.
He was just thinking about it when he refreshed his phone and saw the update notification of Moments. The one next to the red dot was his uncle's avatar. He clicked on it and saw that his uncle was driving the car that had been given to him and was comfortably outside, posting a set of nine-square grid photos.
Well, no need to find excuses, the car has been returned to its original owner.
Lu Xinyang choked for a moment, but still said desperately: "It's okay, I... I have other cars to sell!"
"But they're all at my parents'. They definitely don't care whether I sell the cars or not. They didn't like the cars I bought anyway, so they definitely don't want them taking up space in their home."
As he spoke, he began to complain again: "Also, my parents haven't contacted me in a long time. How should I put it? I feel like...it's as if they don't even want to keep me, their own son."
Ji Rongyu squinted his eyes at him for a long time, then sighed with a complicated expression: "How on earth did you end up like this today?"
Lu Xinyang didn't like what he heard: "What did you say? I didn't hear you."
Ji Rongyu was staring at Lu Xinyang with his head turned. His slightly lowered profile was still, while the green wind in the forest was blowing his hair, and the sparkling spots of light lingering around his shadow were also moving.
What a brilliant love letter.
He suddenly leaned over and leaned on Lu Xinyang's arm, and reached out one hand from behind to wrap around his waist, using the force to raise his body a little higher, so that his face was just pressed against Lu Xinyang's smooth neck, and the tip of his nose touched his warm earlobe.
"I say, how did you end up like this?"
The skin that had been exposed to the sun for a long time suddenly became hot irregularly, and the hottest spot pierced through his heart, so Lu Xinyang's heart stopped beating.
His body was burning with diffuse fog and misty spring rain. He and the person he loved hugged each other tightly, following the path pointed out by the sunlight and falling into the secret and soft heart. Their gazes gazing at each other went back and forth between their eyes like the sun and the moon.
Lu Xinyang slowly opened his mouth: "I..."
"I…………"
"You should go now," the hand on his waist suddenly loosened, and Ji Rongyu leaned back against the fender of the tricycle, his face as usual as if nothing had happened. "Why are you looking at me? Pedal the scooter. Aren't you the driver?"
Lu Xinyang was stunned. Before he could react, the light in his heart suddenly went out. The person he happily hugged also disappeared like mist, like a beautiful dream that ended and then disappeared.
Although Ji Rongyu in reality was very close to him, he could see how his arm, which was draped beside him, casually embraced a bunch of double-petaled violets, the soft petals rubbing against his cheek affectionately, and his eyes seemed to be smiling, but it seemed very difficult to get close to him.
Lu Xinyang turned around mechanically, not daring to look at his favorite face for a moment, for fear that his untimely confession would impulsively ruin their future possibilities. He had no choice but to cover the secret hole in his chest that Ji Rongyu was unwilling to live in, and pedaled hard with his head buried.
All the strength that he couldn't use against Ji Rongyu was used on the pedal.
After pedaling the tricycle for a long time, he could see the familiar intersection in the distance and was about to return to the crew. Lu Xinyang then remembered the big bag of dandelions in front of his car that he had not yet delivered.
I originally wanted to give it to Ji Rongyu on the way. During the filming, the dandelions flying all over the sky with the blower looked particularly beautiful.
Unfortunately, his rhythm was completely disrupted. He lost his composure and just wanted to deliver the car first. He forgot to stop the car and just grabbed the big plastic bag and stuffed it into his back. The only words he uttered were: "This is for you."
Ji Rongyu, who was sitting in the back, was looking at his back wantonly, when suddenly his sight was swallowed up by something, and some furry and itchy little things were sprinkled into his eyes and nose.
Ji Rongyu suddenly became anxious: "Wait! What are you doing?"
"What are you doing?" Lu Xinyang turned around subconsciously, and this time he made the big mistake of not looking at the road. The wheels of the car rolled straight over the stones and potholes in front of him.
"Ah!" Ji Rongyu grabbed the edge of the car in panic, abandoning all his composure and suffering the bumps along with the flower pots around him. The bag of dandelions that he had not caught in time also scattered all the way with a "derderder" sound.
The tricycle moves forward and the dandelion moves backward, they run back to back, each with their own destination.
"Oh, sorry, sorry!" Lu Xinyang was in a panic trying to control the front of the tricycle with one hand. He didn't know whether to throw away the dandelions first or help Ji Rongyu. When he finally stopped the tricycle, the bag of dandelions had already been scattered on the road.
By the way, he also threw it all over Ji Rongyu's head.
Ji Rongyu glared at him with anger and resentment. The expression on his face was simply indescribable. He scratched his itchy neck until it turned red, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down. After a long while of thinking, he felt that he should be able to speak, and the first thing he said was: "Pooh!"
"Ahem, ahem, how did it get into my mouth? Pah! Pah! Pah! Lu Xinyang! What on earth did you use to plot against me?! Pah!"
"I'm sorry, I was wrong," Lu Xinyang said shamefully, "But don't worry, it's just a dandelion. Dandelions are edible, and it's okay to put them in your mouth..."
"I don't want to eat!"
Ji Rongyu was so angry that he didn't even want to get on the tricycle and just walked away. Lu Xinyang followed him with the tricycle with flowers and branches tilted, and apologized repeatedly, but it had little effect.
Later, Lu Xinyang was called away by the director, and he was able to take a bath in peace and quiet.
When I came out of the shower, it was noon. The weather was even hotter and it was noisy outside. Dozens of fans who came to see Yu Han set up several tables in the yard and had a lunch of delicacies from wild game.
When they and Yu Han's family came, they also brought gifts, including fruits, cakes, milk tea, fried chicken, barbecue and snacks that cannot be bought here, as a snack for the crew.
After the meal, there was a session of signing autographs and taking photos with fans. Ji Rongyu saw Tang Lin and Assistant He standing together and chatting. He passed by and overheard, and then he realized that the people who came to visit today were old fans of Yu Han's fan club. They brought gifts and letters prepared by everyone and contacted Yu Han's cousin. The cousin then arranged a safe travel plan for them and personally sent them over.
When they leave later, they will also leave in the same car with Yu Han.
Lu Xinyang appeared out of nowhere, wearing a pair of large sunglasses to protect his face. He leaned on Ji Rongyu's shoulder and asked, "I'm so touched. What will Yu Han say when she finds out? Did she hide and cry secretly?"
"I think you are about to cry." Ji Rongyu pushed him away and let him stand on his own, but he didn't push him. Lu Xinyang still stuck to Ji Rongyu and rubbed against him again.
A few fans happened to pass by at this time. While excitedly discussing Yu Han, they also took a look at the two of them. Well, they both look quite handsome.
But they were not looking at it seriously, and they kept walking. Only the girl with a blue bob haircut who was closest to them seemed to hesitate for a moment, walked over quietly, and then took out two cotton dolls from her canvas bag.
"This is for you..."
"For me? Is this a doll made for me? It looks just like me!" Lu Xinyang took it quickly and said excitedly, "Thank you! I love this! So you're also a fan of mine! I'm so touched!"
He was wearing big sunglasses, making it difficult to make out his expression, but as soon as he finished speaking, he gave a deep bow, scaring the girl so much that she screamed on the spot: "Wait, you're mistaken! This doll isn't you! I'm not a fan of you either! Why are you bowing to me! Get up!! I won't let you!!"
This is such an injustice! I don't even know who you are, so why are you accusing me of being a fan? You are slandering my innocence out of thin air!!!
"Well... isn't it me?" Lu Xinyang raised his head dully, his sunglasses sliding down to the tip of his nose.
The girl quickly snatched a doll from him and stuffed it into Ji Rongyu's hand, then cleared her throat and regained her composure. "Ahem, these are for you. They're custom-made dolls in Sister Yu Han's image. Thank you so much for taking care of Sister Yu Han at work. I heard on Weibo that the atmosphere on your set is really great, and we fans are so happy for her."
"Thank you for your gift. This doll is so beautifully made." Ji Rongyu smiled and lifted up the doll, and meaningfully let its head touch Lu Xinyang's head.
Look at its long hair and long eyelashes, and then look at Lu Xinyang's short hair and even shorter eyelash stubble.
Ji Rongyu continued to smile.
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood. I shouldn't have been so moved, but the doll is really pretty." Lu Xinyang lowered his head in embarrassment. He pushed Ji Rongyu's hand away with his head, then took off his sunglasses and put them on the doll's head with his backhand.
After giving the gifts, the girl went to catch up with her friends who were walking in front of her, but she couldn't help but look back as she walked, watching vigilantly how Lu Xinyang touched the doll.
Alas, it seems that my sister only reported good news on Weibo and not bad news. She only said that the atmosphere on the crew was good, but she didn’t mention that there were some weird colleagues in the crew.
The weird colleague picked up a loudspeaker from the bench next to him. It was usually used by the staff to call people, and someone forgot it here.
Lu Xinyang squatted down on the spot, stuffed the speaker into the cotton doll's arms, and then started tinkering with it with his mobile phone.
Ji Rongyu asked: "What are you doing?"
"It's a way to give back to the fans," Lu Xinyang said. "The doll wasn't given to me. I was wrong to be touched, but Yu Han was right to be touched, so I'm helping her."
He found a voice message from Yu Han in the group chat history, played it at full volume, and then recorded it with the speaker next to him. Then he pressed the broadcast button: "Okay, time to call it a day. Everyone has worked hard. Thank you all. Let's all go to bed early!"
"Okay, time to call it a day. Everyone has worked hard. Thank you all. Let's all go to bed early!"
He pulled Ji Rongyu back to the shade of the tree. Soon, the pleasant and familiar voice that was broadcast on loop attracted all the fans nearby. Everyone gathered around the radio doll and took turns taking photos and recording videos, all of them looking like they couldn't let it go.
Then someone shouted, "I suggest you take the doll back to the car! We can hear her voice all the way there!"
"Reconsideration!"
The fans were all action-oriented. They picked up the doll, the loudspeaker and the pair of sunglasses and took them away.
"Ouch..." The two people standing next to them put their hands on their eyebrows and looked into the distance.
Ji Rongyu said: "What a pity, your sunglasses are so expensive."
"Yeah," Lu Xinyang also showed a regretful expression, took out another pair of sunglasses from his pocket and put them on, "Fortunately, they are not mine, but the director's."
Ji Rongyu: “…………”
Ji Rongyu turned his head and looked at him: "Why don't you go and get it back?"
"Ah? Should I go?"
"Nonsense, if you put it there, you have to take it back yourself."
"I mean, am I the only one going?" Lu Xinyang muttered as he chased after him, but halfway through he turned back, took a deep breath, and shouted at Ji Rongyu, "Let me ask you! Do you still remember what day it is in a few days?"
Good, he finally couldn’t hold it in anymore. I thought he really had the ability to hold it in for another day.
Ji Rongyu smiled and shouted out loudly: "I know! It's your birthday coming soon!"
"Ha!" Lu Xinyang jumped and waved his hands, then turned around happily and continued to chase the sunglasses.
