"Legend of Yun Lan" has been aired for more than half, and Du Yuanzhe's Weibo followers have increased to 20 million, making him the person who has benefited the most from this drama.

During this period, he was either taking photos for endorsements or shooting for magazine covers.

The endorsements that Liu Xu signed later were not filmed in Yancheng. Basically, the round trip and filming took several days. If it was a video shoot, it would take even longer.

Liu Xu arranged his schedule very quickly. He couldn't stay in Yancheng for even a day before flying to the next place to continue the next shoot.

As time was running out, Du Yuanzhe felt that going back to Yancheng would be a waste of time, so he flew directly from his current location to his destination.

By the time he finished all his schedules, "Legend of Yunlan" had already finished airing, and the final ratings successfully exceeded 3, breaking everyone's previous estimates of the ratings, becoming the undisputed hit of the year.

Even though the audience had expected Luo Xun's death in the finale, they still scolded the crew and lined up to leave comments on Du Yuanzhe's Weibo to express their sympathy for him. Some fans were even too obsessed with the story and warned Du Yuanzhe not to fall in love with someone who likes someone else.

When Du Yuanzhe saw this, he thought that it was a pity that he was not the original owner, otherwise he would be heartbroken.

On the day of the finale, Du Yuanzhe posted a long farewell message to Luo Xun on his Weibo, which had not been updated for a long time. He also posted a photo taken on the set. In the photo, Du Yuanzhe was still dressed in the costume for the play and was reading the script.

Fans who have watched the behind-the-scenes footage know that Du Yuanzhe is either filming or reading scripts on the set and rarely has any entertainment activities, so many fans praise him for his professionalism.

Fans came to comment immediately, first highly praising Du Yuanzhe's acting skills, then looking forward to his next new drama, and finally whispering that they wanted to see a fresh Du Yuanzhe.

You know what, fans’ wishes will soon come true.

Du Yuanzhe will attend a product launch conference in two days. The brand has deliberately increased the endorsement fee because they want Du Yuanzhe to make his first public appearance after the broadcast of "The Legend of Yun Lan".

The other party obviously knows how to utilize Du Yuanzhe's commercial value.

What Du Yuanzhe has to do is very simple, which is to stand up for the brand, say a few words and answer a few questions from reporters.

Endorsing a brand like this is basically the easiest way to make money.

One hour after Du Yuanzhe posted on Weibo, the brand announced that he would attend a press conference two days later.

Fans were cheering for a while, and countless fans created groups to chat privately to discuss the details of the meetup that day.

Du Yuanzhe had just returned home at this time. The non-stop filming schedule in the past few days had exhausted him.

Xia Ningmi poured him a glass of water, noticed the two rings on his left hand, and asked, "Was this Liu Xu's idea?"

Du Yuanzhe drank half a glass of water before saying, "Brother Liu was worried every day, afraid that fans would guess something from the ring, so he took great pains to help me sign this endorsement."

Xia Ningmi turned the plain ring on her finger without saying anything.

Du Yuanzhe is different from her. He is now very famous. Whenever he appears in public, there will be countless fans analyzing everything about him.

The discovery of this ring will definitely cause discussion, and Liu Xu's method can effectively lead fans to speculate.

Du Yuanzhe turned his head to look at the green plants on the balcony and said, "Have you watered the plants these days?"

Xia Ningmi: "You remind me every day, I can't forget it even if I want to."

Du Yuanzhe curled his lips: "I asked you to send me photos, but you didn't take any."

Xia Ning glanced at him: "Besides looking at those dead things, do you have anything else to say?"

"I asked you to video chat with me, but you refused."

"And show you the dead things?"

Du Yuanzhe was helpless: "I don't care what they do. I just miss you."

Xia Ning was stunned for a moment, then pursed her lips and said, "I'll explain it clearly later."

Du Yuanzhe pulled her into his arms, biting her lips and said, "How could I have imagined that someone would even eat the vinegar of plants? I talk to you so much every day, how come you only remember to remind you to water the plants?"

"Qiqi, I miss you so much."

Xia Ningmi's eyes moved, and the suppressed thoughts of the two burst out in an instant. Unknowingly, Xia Ningmi's coat had been taken off by Du Yuanzhe, and Du Yuanzhe's shirt was thrown on the carpet by her.

Du Yuanzhe regained some of his sanity: "We haven't eaten yet..."

Xia Ningmi blocked his next words in her throat and gently moved her fingers on his chest.

Du Yuanzhe's rationality disappeared again. Now it was no longer a question of whether to eat or not. If he missed this opportunity again, Xia Ningmi would torture him again.

Holding back his anger, Du Yuanzhe picked up Xia Ningmi and walked up to the second floor in two or three steps. He asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you want to go to your room or mine?"

"mine!"

Du Yuanzhe immediately turned to the right, walked into Xia Ningmi's bedroom as quickly as possible, gently put her down, and at the same time leaned forward, kissing Xia Ningmi's cheeks, behind her ears and collarbone.

A thin mist appeared in Xia Ningmi's eyes and her cheeks were full of blushes. Even though Du Yuanzhe was in charge now, she did not give up teasing Du Yuanzhe. Her fingers, as tender as peeled onions, moved on Du Yuanzhe's back.

Wherever the fingers carrying Xia Ningmi's body temperature went, they ignited a fire there, and Du Yuanzhe felt as if he was about to burn.

The clothes on both of them gradually fell off and fell to the ground. The ambiguous atmosphere in the room became stronger and stronger.

At the last moment, Du Yuanzhe suddenly stopped, sweat dripping from his forehead, and his face looked grim: "I forgot to buy a condom."

Xia Ning, who was lying under him, hugged Du Yuanzhe who was about to get up and said, "It's in the bedside cabinet."

There was a hint of seduction in her tone, which almost made Du Yuanzhe lose control of himself.

At this point he no longer had time to think about where the condom came from, he quickly took it out and tore it open, then continued with the next thing...

One hour later

The room was filled with a strange smell. After Du Yuanzhe picked up Xia Ningmi and gave her a bath, he went straight back to his room, where it was no longer possible to sleep.

Xia Ningmi's pretty face was flushed, and she quickly fell asleep in Du Yuanzhe's arms.

Du Yuanzhe hugged her tightly, curled the corners of his mouth, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

......

The next morning, Du Yuanzhe was the first to wake up. He was woken up by hunger. He had not eaten dinner last night and had exerted a lot of energy. If he had not been so tired, he would have remembered to eat something last night.

After being awakened by hunger, Du Yuanzhe got up carefully, went into the kitchen to turn on the fire to boil water, and put a piece of bread in his mouth to fill it up. At the same time, he started cutting vegetables, planning to stir-fry two light dishes.

When he finished cooking and brought it to the room, Xia Ningmi hadn't woken up yet. It was already seven o'clock, and according to her biological clock, she should have woken up long ago, but there was still no movement.

Du Yuanzhe felt proud for a moment. Xia Ningmi always liked to tease him, and now she was reaping the consequences.

"Qiqi, wake up, it's time to eat."

The porridge tastes bad when it’s cold, so Du Yuanzhe could only wake up Xia Ningmi first.

Xia Ningmi's eyelashes trembled when she heard the sound, and then she opened her eyes and saw Du Yuanzhe sitting beside the bed. Then she smelled a fragrance and suddenly felt hungry.

She sat up, wearing only a cool nightgown. Through the nightgown, you could faintly see red marks on her snow-white skin, spreading from her collarbone...

Xia Ningmi asked hoarsely: "What time is it?"

She had just woken up and her voice was extremely hoarse.

Du Yuanzhe said: "It's seven o'clock. Don't go to the company today. Take a day off."

Du Yuanzhe moved aside to make room for her to eat.

Xia Ningmi drank a few mouthfuls of porridge to moisten her throat before saying, "Help me get my phone."

Du Yuanzhe then remembered that his and Xia Ningmi's cell phones were still in the living room. After what happened last night, they almost didn't have time to return to the bedroom, and no one thought of taking out their cell phones.

"Eat first, and then talk after dinner. Why would you think about work the first thing you do when you wake up?"

Xia Ning glanced at him.

There was still a hint of charm in her eyes and eyebrows, and even though she tried to keep a cold face, she did not look threatening at all.

Du Yuanzhe picked up some food for her and said, "Stop threatening me."

Xia Ningmi: "Are you very proud?"

Du Yuanzhe curled the corners of his lips, and although he didn't say anything, his meaning was self-evident.

"How many seconds was it the first time?"

Du Yuanzhe's expression froze, and he said unconvincedly: "It's always like this the first time, and I have proven myself since then."

Xia Ningmi raised her eyebrows: "Really?"

Du Yuanzhe was so angry that he counterattacked: "Anyway, it's not me who slept until now. If I hadn't held you last night, are you sure you could have walked out of the bathroom?"

Xia Ningmi said, "Barely, you win."

Du Yuanzhe laughed angrily: "What do you mean by barely doing it? This means I win."

"What are you so excited about?"

"This is about men's dignity, and I will defend it to the end."

Xia Ningmi chuckled and stopped teasing him: "I admit that you win."

Du Yuanzhe was satisfied: "Don't bring up the past anymore. Just forget about it."

He really didn't want to hear Xia Ningmi talk about the first time again. The two of them should forget that memory amicably.

Xia Ningmi nodded in agreement.

After they finished breakfast, Xia Ningmi sent a message to Cheng Yu saying that she would not go to the company today, and asked him to email if there were any urgent documents.

Cheng Yu understands the long-parted couple very well and says she will try her best not to disturb the president.

Du Yuanzhe was lying on the sofa holding Xia Ningmi, watching TV series. He had been watching TV series non-stop these days, and he had not yet watched the finale of "The Legend of Yun Lan".

Soon it was time for the part about Luo Xun's death. Du Yuanzhe asked, "Do you think he regretted joining the Demon Sect?"

Although Luo Xun said that he did not regret it, the audience felt that he did regret it. Luo Xun loved Yun Lan so much, if it were not for the identity of Demon Lord, the two of them would not have no possibility at all.

Xia Ningmi said: "What he regretted was not joining the Demon Sect, but that he was not strong enough. In his heart, the strong are respected. In his opinion, if he was strong enough, so strong that no one in the entire cultivation world could defeat him, no one would dare to call him a demon."

In Luo Xun's heart, there is no distinction between good and evil, only strength is supreme.

Du Yuanzhe said: "Luo Xun hated the previous demon king who killed his parents, but when he became such a person, he didn't think he did anything wrong. In fact, Luo Xun is a demon from beginning to end, but he has given too much to the heroine, and he has loved the heroine from beginning to end, so he has such high popularity."

Luo Xun's sudden popularity fully demonstrates that fans' world views are influenced by their senses.

When Du Yuanzhe played this role, in order to bring out his sensuality, he made detailed treatments in the scenes with the heroine, making him look more affectionate and making the fans of the heroine and Luo Xun even more devoted, thus ignoring the evil deeds done by Luo Xun.

Xia Ningmi said, "In that world where the strong prey on the weak, everyone makes different choices and walks different paths, but the goal is the same, which is to become stronger. The weak cannot choose their own destiny. Even if the righteous sects need to use the land at the foot of the mountain and ask the civilians to move, they will not think of asking them if they are willing, because in their eyes, everything belongs to them, and everything the civilians have is given by them."

"How many people will die from various accidents while moving from one place to another? Those high-ranking righteous monks will not think about this problem. As long as they don't kill people on their own initiative, they can still claim that they care about the world."

Xia Ningmi rationally pointed out the undescribed side of that world. In her opinion, no one is a true saint, and everyone lives for themselves and to become stronger.

Saving humanity requires that it be consistent with one's own interests.

Du Yuanzhe stroked her long hair and said, "What that world is like has nothing to do with us."

He and Xia Ningmi have different personalities and different views, and Du Yuanzhe will not judge whether her ideas are right or wrong.

Xia Ning raised her eyes and said, "I'm just answering your question."

"Luo Xun was once a weak person and was fed up with a life where he couldn't choose his own fate, so he joined the Demon Cult. He will never regret this choice."

Du Yuanzhe suddenly realized something: "Qiqi, are you watching "The Legend of Yunlan" every day?"

Otherwise she wouldn't understand it so clearly.

Xia Ning moved her body and found a comfortable position in his arms again: "Of course I want to see your first work."

Du Yuanzhe smiled and asked, "Qiqi, what do you think of my performance?"

"Your acting is excellent and your understanding of the role is very good. You must have been a very capable actor."

Du Yuanzhe was overjoyed by the compliment and said with a smile, "I didn't have much fame before, and no one has ever described me as a powerful person. Qiqi is the first one."

"Many people on the Internet are praising your strength."

Du Yuanzhe said: "But Qiqi is the first person to say this to me in person."

After saying that, he took the opportunity to hug Xia Ningmi and kiss her. He had wanted to do this for a long time, but he had been holding back.

He has selectively forgotten the compliments on his acting skills. What they meant was to compliment him on his acting prowess, but they just didn't say those three words.

The two of them stayed at home for a day and cleaned the room together.

Xia Ningmi didn't mind hiring a housekeeper to clean up, as their house needed cleaning anyway, but Du Yuanzhe didn't want to do that. It was just washing the bed covers, and he could do it.

As for cleaning the house, you can hire a housekeeper tomorrow.

Xia Ning couldn't persuade him, so she had to clean up with him. It was the first time in her life that she took off the quilt cover by herself, and Du Yuanzhe laughed at her clumsy movements several times.

Du Yuanzhe laughed and said, "You don't know how to use a washing machine either?"

Xia Ningmi responded calmly: "In the time it takes me to wash clothes, I can earn enough money to buy countless washing machines."

Du Yuanzhe choked and was instantly shocked and became a little withdrawn. Others signed contracts worth hundreds of millions of yuan every minute, but he could only wash clothes. There was nothing to be proud of.

Xia Ningmi curled the corners of her lips.

Du Yuanzhe was like a man who had forgotten the pain after his wound had healed. He knew that Xia Ningmi was not the type to take losses, but he still liked to provoke her.

The next day, Xia Ningmi went to work as usual, and Du Yuanzhe also went to the company to discuss with Liu Xu about attending the brand launch conference tomorrow.

There will be a lot of fans there, and Du Yuanzhe's safety will become the most important issue.

Liu Xu is negotiating with the company to bring a few more people to protect Du Yuanzhe. Together with the security arranged by the brand, it can be ensured to the greatest extent that there will be no chaos at that time.
