Falling in love with the movie star 7
The host came on stage to greet the actors, and then the live interview officially began.
There is a series of introductions at the beginning, including the introduction of the crew, the introduction of the actors, and the introduction of the characters, and then it enters the topic that netizens are most interested in.
Host: "The most talked-about topic on the online entertainment forums these past few days has been actor Zheng's first selfie in years. Actually, I'm curious, why haven't you posted a selfie in all these years? Isn't posting selfies a part of celebrity life now?"
Zheng Xuanlin responded, "Because some netizens have such strong imaginations, no matter what I post, they'll interpret it as something else. So I simply don't post anymore. You can just imagine it yourself. You have such rich imaginations anyway."
The host raised his eyebrows in his heart. This was obviously a satire on the CP fans, and it happened in the presence of Cheng Yi. With so many stars in the entertainment industry, he was probably the only one who would do this. How much did he not want to be a CP with Cheng Yi?
Host: "Then why are you suddenly posting selfies now?"
Zheng Xuanlin: "Because I'm in a particularly good mood recently, I wanted to share this. I think whether you're a fan, a casual reader, or any other type of netizen, just understand what I posted. There's no need to make any other associations. I absolutely don't have any hidden meanings."
Cheng Yi kept a decent smile and watched Zheng Xuanlin speak seriously, but his heart was hurting. He knew he had made some wrong choices and he regretted it very much. He would do his best to make up for it.
——Hear that, CP fans, this translates to asking you to stop fantasizing! What I want to express is the literal meaning, there is no other meaning!
——Actor Zheng often tears up his CP, but CP fans live in their own world. It is not so easy for them to wake up. You can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep.
——When it comes to the ability to satirize CP fans, I only admire Actor Zheng.
——Who knows if he is trying to cover up his mistake.
——See? The above is a typical example of pretending to sleep.
Host: "What about Hua Xi? How do you feel about being able to work with Zheng Xuanlin?"
"I grew up watching my senior's movies and have always admired him. I was a fan of his before I made my debut..."
Zheng Xuanlin stared at him with wide eyes, his face showing, "Are you kidding me?" "Am I that old?"
"Uh..." Hua Xi looked at him and said, "I was only in my teens when you debuted, so I really grew up watching your works. I even went to your fan signing event." Hua Xi looked at the host again and said, "The seniors are really nice. They gave me a lot of guidance on acting and took good care of me on the set. This is my first drama, and I feel so lucky to be able to work with such seniors."
——Hahaha, after watching your Growing Up series, this new kid is kind of cute.
—So you're a fanboy, really? This is the real version of aiming for your idol and then collaborating with them. I'm so envious. I'll never get to work with Actor Zheng, but even just being able to sit next to him for a while would satisfy me.
——You’re not old at all, you just debuted earlier.
——It’s been almost ten years since Actor Zheng debuted, and I’ve liked you for almost ten years. Time flies.
Zheng Xuanlin said, "Hua Xi is a very talented actor and very hardworking. Not only me, but also the crew, including the guide, like him very much. When I make friends, I mainly open my heart. Although we are several years apart in age, there is no generation gap. We can communicate easily and understand each other's inner thoughts. It's like meeting too late and finding a close friend, which is really rare. I am willing to give him some advice and guidance. He is also very smart and almost understands everything immediately."
Host: "It seems that you two really get along well. They say that a true friend is hard to find. Sometimes it is really difficult to make a close friend. Maybe your meeting is also a kind of fate."
Zheng Xuanlin nodded. "That's why I cherish this friend very much. I also hope that we can maintain this relationship for a long time. After all, a true friend is hard to find. From now on, his affairs will be my affairs. As long as he needs help, I will definitely help him."
——Oh my God, how much does Actor Zheng like this newcomer? Is he trying to say that he will protect this person from now on?
——It is said that true friends are hard to find. It is rare to have a friend with whom you can confide, so of course you have to protect him. Actor Zheng is a very loyal person.
——The two of them really appreciate each other. People who appreciate each other can easily become friends. I wish their friendship well.
——Actor Zheng, please pay some attention to Cheng Yi. He has been looking at you for a long time.
Is Actor Zheng only interested in his new friends now? Isn't Cheng Yi too pitiful?
——Cheng Yi doesn't need your pity, okay? Are you annoying?
——Actor Zheng, if you act like this, you will have to kneel down in front of the keyboard when you get home.
——Kneel down on your sister's keyboard. Making friends is his freedom. Please stop fantasizing about it. He has made it so clear. He just doesn't like to be a couple with someone, okay?
——It sounds like our Cheng Yi is willing to be a pair with him.
——I don’t know who has been giving sweets to CP fans all the time. If you don’t want to be a couple, don’t give CP fans the hope of fantasy.
Host: "It seems like Cheng Yi hasn't taken on a role in a while. How do you feel about taking on the role of Mingxuan this time?"
Cheng Yi: "I've been taking a break and have recently been preparing to go all out for work. I'd like to thank my mentor for giving me the opportunity to play the role of Mingxuan. When my mentor contacted me, we talked a lot about the role. She felt I fit the character's setting very well, and I quite like the role and feel confident that I can play it well. Furthermore, I'm actually very happy to be able to work with Xuanlin again after so many years."
Host: "The classic films you collaborated on are still frequently played, and the number of hits online has been increasing. Your collaboration again has also become a hot topic. So, when you were on the set, did you often communicate and exchange ideas?"
Cheng Yi: "Because we have a lot of emotional scenes later, there are many things that need to be communicated and discussed. However, we also want to complete the filming in a better way. We are all professional actors, so of course we focus on work."
Zheng Xuanlin: "As long as there are actors who have scenes together, everyone will communicate to some extent. Before filming, everyone will rehearse and discuss the plot on the set. The person I communicate with the most is Hua Xi. Not only will I chat with him on the set, but I will also continue to communicate and exchange with him after work."
Host: "Do you also meet privately?"
Zheng Xuanlin: "Of course, otherwise we wouldn't be friends. We really get along well and have a lot to talk about."
The host asked cryptically, "So when you meet privately, will you also meet with other actors to discuss and exchange ideas together?"
Zheng Xuanlin: "So far, I haven't made appointments with other people. It's easier to make an appointment with two people. It's hard to coordinate schedules with more people."
Host: "That's true. Hua Xi is a newcomer, so it should be easier for her to arrange her time. For someone like Cheng Yi, it would probably be difficult to arrange time. But there will definitely be a lot of phone calls, right?"
Zheng Xuanlin: "I don't have his number. I accidentally lost my phone. Before he joined the crew, we had no contact for a long time and hadn't met in person."
The host thought to himself, there is really no room for maneuver.
The interview mainly focused on Zheng Xuanlin and Cheng Yi. The other actors hardly said anything, but Zheng Xuanlin kept bringing the topic to Tao Yuan, so even though Tao Yuan didn't say much, his presence was higher than Cheng Yi's.
Zheng Xuanlin's answer broke the hearts of CP fans. Moreover, during the entire interview, Zheng Xuanlin didn't even look at Cheng Yi once, which made the CP fans' filters lose their effect. Many people decided to stop being fans. It's really unheard of for the CP to be torn apart like this.
But after the interview, Cheng Yi posted a selfie. In the lower right corner of the photo was Zheng Xuanlin looking at his phone. Because of the filter, you have to look carefully to see it. The text he wrote was, "Today's weather is cloudy and then sunny."
Then many CP fans were revived and came up with a lot of ideas. They thought Zheng Xuanlin did it on purpose to avoid suspicion. Then they imagined that although the two of them may have agreed on it long ago, Cheng Yi was still unhappy, so Zheng Xuanlin went to comfort him, and Cheng Yi's mood turned from cloudy to sunny.
Zheng Xuanlin praised Tao Yuan in various ways and openly stated that they had a good relationship and would even meet up privately, which made people think that they were just good friends. Because in the entertainment industry, those couples who are not publicly known are very cautious and avoid suspicion, while true friends are open and honest.
Zheng Xuanlin did the opposite, and no one suspected his relationship with Tao Yuan. Tao Yuan was still a newcomer, after all, and he didn't want him to be immediately in the spotlight. He first wanted to give people the impression that they were close, but just friends. Then, slowly, people would realize that their relationship was more than just ordinary.
In fact, this was just Zheng Xuanlin's own plan. He and Tao Yuan were still in an ambiguous relationship and had not yet revealed their relationship officially.
Their recent schedule can be said to be quite full. After finishing filming the latest episode, they immediately went to participate in a variety show, which lasted for two days.
Before filming began, the production team communicated with each guest. Cheng Yi looked at the process and frowned as he asked the director who was communicating with him, "Why are Lin Heng and I paired together for the next day? Didn't I tell you to put Xuanlin and me in the same group?"
"We were originally going to group you together, but after we talked to his agent, he said Zheng Xuanlin had to be in the same group with Hua Xi, otherwise he wouldn't participate in the filming." The director said awkwardly, "Their company's attitude is very tough, and Zheng Xuanlin is the spokesperson for this sponsoring brand. If he doesn't participate, we won't be able to explain to the sponsor. How about you talk to him in person? After you reach an agreement, we can make new arrangements."
Zheng Xuanlin hadn't given him face time and time again. No matter how guilty he had felt before, he felt a little angry now.
"Just follow your arrangements." Cheng Yi threw the process content on the table, stood up and walked into the lounge.
Standing by the glass wall and looking out, Cheng Yi felt a mixture of emotions. He really wanted to win back Zheng Xuanlin, because she was his first love, and he believed she must have been moved by him. When he was young, he was obsessed with climbing higher and going further, always feeling that love couldn't provide enough food and clothing, and would eventually disappear. He believed that one should be more realistic in life to avoid regrets later.
But he still regrets it now. After marrying the wealthy businessman, he lived with domestic violence for two years and he really couldn't stand it anymore. The life of a wealthy man was not as easy as he imagined. He needed a true and sincere relationship to soothe his injured body and mind.
Zheng Xuanlin was the best choice. He was his first love, and in his memory, they had the best time together. Moreover, Zheng Xuanlin's current wealth and status, even if not comparable to the big rich, he himself was also a small rich.
However, even if he wanted to go back to her, she wouldn't give him the chance. That Hua Xi, was the one he'd fallen for, right? The look in his eyes showed he was definitely into her. A newcomer, fresh out of this world, barely experienced the hardships and rules, yet being noticed by someone like Zheng Xuanlin, was incredibly lucky.
It was too easy for him to deal with such a newcomer. He only needed to use some tricks to make him unable to make a comeback in the entertainment industry.
Cheng Yi took a deep breath, thinking that he didn't have to be Zheng Xuanlin, but this newcomer was an eyesore, so don't blame him for being rude. Even if it hadn't been him, there might have been someone else, but who made it happen to be him? He could just consider it bad luck.
As for him and Zheng Xuanlin, maybe one day, after all their twists and turns, they would finally be together? Let fate decide everything.
The program is recorded abroad so that they will not be surrounded by onlookers when performing tasks on the streets, and can complete the filming normally.
The eight stars were divided into four groups, each working in pairs on the first day. Zheng Xuanlin and Tao Yuan formed one group, while Cheng Yi and Lin Heng formed another. The four of them were promoting a TV series, so they worked in two groups on the first day, and then the other two groups worked together. The other two groups were promoting the film, and they were all highly recognized stars, making this a very strong lineup.
The two-day shoot didn't feature any intense competition, resembling a travel show where fans completed tasks while sightseeing. However, the cast was impressive enough that even just chatting with fans contributed significantly to the show's viewership.
On the day of the shoot, everyone gathered in the hotel lobby. After the shoot began, the host introduced the rules and the two teams set off from different routes.
As soon as the host said let's go, the other team ran out.
Tao Yuan grabbed Zheng Xuanlin's hand and said, "I'm a little nervous and want to go to the bathroom."
"Go ahead. Do you want me to accompany you?" Zheng Xuanlin knew that this was his first time recording a variety show, and it was an outdoor variety show, so it was inevitable that he would be nervous.
"No need! I'll be back soon." Tao Yuan waved his hand quickly.
"Give me the backpack." Zheng Xuanlin helped him take off the backpack.
Tao Yuan trotted towards the toilet.
Cheng Yi glanced at the time and said to Zheng Xuanlin, "Why don't we go wait in the car first."
Zheng Xuanlin said, "You guys go to the car first, I'll wait for him here."
Cheng Yi glanced at Zheng Xuanlin, then walked out first, and Lin Heng followed him. After all, they were in the same group. In the play, the character played by Lin Heng had a crush on Cheng Yi, so during the filming process, he tried his best to behave in this way.
Tao Yuan came back not long after he left, took the backpack and put it on his back, and the two of them walked out together. "Sorry, I delayed everyone's time."
"It's okay. There's no need to be nervous. It's just a travel program. Winning or losing doesn't matter. Just treat it as having fun." Zheng Xuanlin comforted.
"Can we really come here to play like this?" Tao Yuan looked at him with wide eyes.
Zheng Xuanlin couldn't stand his gaze the most, and couldn't help but touch his hair and said, "Okay."
After getting in the car, Tao Yuan said to Chen Yi and Lin Heng, "Seniors, I'm sorry for wasting your time."
Lin Heng politely said it was okay, but Cheng Yi remained silent.
"Where are we going first?" asked Lin Heng, who was driving.
"Let's go to the museum first." Cheng Yi said.
"Museum?" Tao Yuan leaned forward, grabbed Zheng Xuanlin's arm, and said, "After we finish our mission at the museum, we can't go to the amusement park, right?"
"Let's go to the amusement park." Zheng Xuanlin said to Lin Heng.
"Uh..." Lin Heng didn't know who to listen to for a moment. Both of them were his seniors, and he couldn't afford to offend either of them.
"Let me drive." Zheng Xuanlin got out of the passenger seat.
After the two of them changed, Zheng Xuanlin drove directly to the amusement park.
Cheng Yi kept looking out the window. Although he had decided to give up trying to win Zheng Xuanlin back, Zheng Xuanlin's attitude still made him very uncomfortable.
After arriving at the amusement park, several people started to complete the task, and the task they received was bungee jumping.
Tao Yuan said he was afraid, so he was the last one to jump. After the three of them had finished jumping, he was still holding on to the pillar and refused to move.
"I'm scared..." Tao Yuan looked at Zheng Xuanlin as if he wanted to cry.
"Then don't jump. Let's go to the museum again." Zheng Xuanlin couldn't bear to force him.
Cheng Yi waited for a long time, listening to Zheng Xuanlin trying to comfort him. But they had to go to the museum again. He finally said impatiently, "It's you who wanted to come to the amusement park, and it's you who's afraid to jump now. It's just bungee jumping. The wire has already fallen off. What's there to be afraid of?"
"...I fell off the wire. It's not that high. I'm sorry." Tao Yuan said in a low voice with his head down, looking very self-blaming.
Zheng Xuanlin couldn't help but glare at Cheng Yi. Seeing Tao Yuan so scared, he was already heartbroken. Cheng Yi even lectured him, which made him very angry.
When Cheng Yi saw Zheng Xuanlin glaring at him, he became even angrier. If they weren't still recording the show, he would have just walked away.
"It's okay, let's stop dancing and go." Zheng Xuanlin said, holding Tao Yuan's hand.
Tao Yuan shook his head and said, "I want to dance, but I'm a little scared."
"How about I dance with you, okay?" Zheng Xuanlin said.
"Really?" Tao Yuan immediately looked up at him.
"Yes." Zheng Xuanlin nodded. "I'll hold you and dance. Just don't open your eyes."
Tao Yuan nodded.
After the two of them were ready, they walked to the edge of the diving platform. Tao Yuan looked very scared and hugged Zheng Xuanlin tightly. Zheng Xuanlin also hugged him tightly, trying to give him a sense of security.
When the two were pushed down, Tao Yuan was not afraid at all, but he still looked like he didn't dare to open his eyes.
After finally completing the bungee jumping mission, the four returned to the car, Zheng Xuanlin drove and Tao Yuan sat in the passenger seat.
Zheng Xuanlin started the car, turned his head to look at Tao Yuan, and couldn't help but reach out and touch his face.
Tao Yuan opened the mission card and said, "Next, let's go to the circus."
"Go to the circus?" Cheng Yi said sarcastically. "Once you get there, if you learn to do flying trapeze and jump through fire hoops, you'll be scared again."
Tao Yuan lowered his head and stopped talking.
Zheng Xuanlin shook his hand and said gently, "How about going to the planetarium? It would be easier to solve tasks with intelligence."
Cheng Yi saw that Zheng Xuanlin finally agreed with him for once. Although he didn't like the tone he used when talking to Tao Yuan, he felt a lot more comfortable.
"But I want to go to the circus." Tao Yuan said in a low voice.
Zheng Xuanlin squeezed his hand again without saying anything.
Cheng Yi thought Zheng Xuanlin would go to the planetarium, but when he saw that the car actually drove outside the circus, his anger rose again.
After entering, the task they received was not flying in the air or jumping through a ring of fire, but shooting flying saucers with guns.
The other three had all received shooting training for the show. Zheng Xuanlin completed the task on his first try, and the other two, after a few missteps, also managed to complete the task successfully. Only Tao Yuan failed to hit the target once.
Zheng Xuanlin walked up behind him, hugged him, and started teaching him how to hold a gun and aim. "Like this, then aim, follow the direction of the frisbee, and finally shoot."
Under the guidance of Zheng Xuanlin, Tao Yuan finally completed the shooting mission.
Before returning to the car, Tao Yuan took Zheng Xuanlin's hand and whispered, "I want to go to the water park."
"I understand." Zheng Xuanlin patted his hands and replied.
After arriving at the water park, their task was to ride the waves.
When the impact of the water flow is small, Tao Yuan and Cheng Yi have to climb up the slope to remove the rope. After the impact of the water flow becomes larger, the four of them have to hold on to the rope and not be washed away by the water flow.
The small stream was actually not that small. When Tao Yuan and Cheng Yi climbed up, they rolled down almost at the same time due to the impact of the water.
Zheng Xuanlin was worried that Tao Yuan would choke on the water, so when he rolled down, he immediately ran over to catch him and pulled him out of the water.
After Tao Yuan helped Zheng Xuanlin stand steadily with the help of his hand, he wiped the water off his face and opened his eyes. Suddenly, he heard a violent cough coming from the side.
When Cheng Yi rolled down, Lin Heng ran over to help him, but he failed to lift him up in time because he had already choked on a mouthful of water.
"Senior, are you okay?" Tao Yuan looked at Cheng Yi and asked.
"Cough, cough, cough." Cheng Yi's throat felt very uncomfortable. He turned around and saw Tao Yuan being supported steadily, and he felt even more angry.
Cheng Yi sat in the water for a while. Although he knew it was impossible, he still held on to some hope that Zheng Xuanlin would come over and help him. But Zheng Xuanlin had already helped Tao Yuan to rest. He could only grit his teeth and stand up with the help of Lin Heng.
After a short rest, the two began to climb up again. With the previous experience, they already knew the magnitude of the impact and were mentally prepared.
After throwing the rope down, the two of them quickly grabbed the rope and went down, while Zheng Xuanlin and Lin Heng grabbed the rope and walked up.
The impact of the water flow became stronger and stronger. After Zheng Xuanlin and Tao Yuan met in the middle of the slope, Zheng Xuanlin held Tao Yuan in his arms and held the rope tightly. Before Cheng Yi and Lin Heng met, they were both washed away by the water.
This time, Cheng Yi didn't get choked by the water, but when he looked up, he saw Tao Yuan being held in Zheng Xuanlin's arms. The two of them were standing steadily on the slope. After the water stopped flowing, Zheng Xuanlin immediately helped Tao Yuan wipe the water off his face. The two of them looked oblivious to the world around them, as if they were the only ones there. The atmosphere of love was so strong.
Cheng Yi's initial anger turned into a pang of pain and resentment. He felt that he should be the one being protected, cared for, coaxed, and doted on by Zheng Xuanlin. It was also the two of them who should be showing their affection in front of the camera and completing tasks together in tacit understanding.
This shouldn't be the case, Cheng Yi thought. He and Zheng Xuanlin have so many CP fans. They have known each other for so many years and are each other's first love. They can still go back to the way they were before. They must be able to go back.
Cheng Yi and Lin Heng were washed away several times, but Zheng Xuanlin and Tao Yuan stood firm every time.
Tao Yuan felt a little sorry for Zheng Xuanlin's arm. The impact of the water flow was really strong. Zheng Xuanlin had to use a lot of strength every time to prevent both of them from being washed away.
If they continued like this, they might never complete the task. There were already enough shots, so the production team cheated with them and had someone reduce the impact of the water flow, and they finally completed the task.
Everyone was very tired, so they changed their clothes and walked out, ready to leave the water park.
Tao Yuan suddenly stopped, grabbed Zheng Xuanlin's hand, pointed to the water slide next to him and said, "I want to play that one."
Before Zheng Xuanlin could say anything, Cheng Yixian angrily yelled, "Are you done yet?!"
Lin Heng had already noticed that something was wrong with Tao Yuan, but he just stood aside and watched. He was actually a little surprised by Cheng Yi's attitude. It was so obvious, did he really not notice it, or was he pretending not to notice it?
"Are you mentally ill?! We are recording a program, not here to have fun! If you want to act willfully, go home and do it. We have no obligation to indulge you! How did someone like you make his debut?!" Cheng Yi has never lost control like this in front of the camera, but he is not afraid even if he is caught on camera. What needs to be cut will be cut, and their company will send someone to check it out.
Even if it was broadcast without any reduction, Cheng Yi was not worried, because he felt that after it was all broadcast, it would definitely be Tao Yuan who would be scolded, not him.
"I think you are the one who is sick? Since you know that we are recording a program, why are you still yelling?!" Zheng Xuanlin said with a frown.
"You..." Cheng Yi's face turned red with anger.
Tao Yuan ignored them, grabbed Zheng Xuanlin's hand, looked up at him and said, "Come with me, okay? Please."
Zheng Xuanlin looked into Tao Yuan's eyes. He had a pleading look and a coquettish face, and he really had no resistance at all.
"You guys go to the car first, we'll be there later." Zheng Xuanlin said and was about to accompany Tao Yuan.
"Zheng Xuanlin!" Cheng Yi shouted, "We're recording a program right now, not sending you on a sponsored trip. Do you still have any professionalism?!"
"I think it's you who forgot that we were recording the show, right?" Zheng Xuanlin glanced at him and took Tao Yuan away directly.
Cheng Yi threw the water bottle in his hand to the ground and turned away angrily.
Lin Heng looked at Cheng Yi's back and was sure that he was really angry.
Zheng Xuanlin accompanied Tao Yuan on the water slide, and after they changed their clothes, they returned to the car.
The atmosphere in the car was a bit depressing. Cheng Yi, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, exuded a low pressure all over his body. Anyone could feel that he was angry.
Tao Yuan tried to reduce his presence as much as possible, because it was obvious that he was the one who caused the current atmosphere.
Feeling exhausted, Tao Yuan covered his mouth and yawned. Zheng Xuanlin immediately turned to look at him and asked, "Are you tired?"
"Not bad." Tao Yuan said in a low voice.
The sun was quite strong today. Seeing that Tao Yuan's face was red, Zheng Xuanlin took out a wet tissue to wipe his face. After wiping his face, he also wiped his hands. It can be said that he was very considerate and caring.
Cheng Yiming knew that he would be very angry after seeing this, but he couldn't help but watch the scene through the rearview mirror, and then he became angry while watching.
They returned to the hotel lobby to gather, but the other team had not arrived yet.
After sitting in the lobby for a while, another team arrived and everyone stood in the middle of the lobby to film the final content.
The host said, "Congratulations to both of you for completing all the tasks. Although the blue team arrived first, you were not the winner in the end..."
The host paused deliberately before saying, "Actually, one member of each team drew a joker card, and they completed all the assigned tasks, so the winners are... Hua Xi from the blue team! And Su Wan from the yellow team! They are the spoiled child and the troublemaker, respectively. Congratulations on winning all the prize money today!"
Everyone else showed surprise and astonishment, but the two of them were so obvious that they had already noticed. So, of all people, only Cheng Yi was truly surprised.
If he hadn't been so emotionally drained, he wouldn't have been blinded by Tao Yuan's clearly abnormal behavior. After all, a newcomer, no matter how well-connected he was, wouldn't behave like this, unless he had a genuine mental problem. Furthermore, this tactic has been used on numerous shows, and the fact that he didn't notice it suggests he simply couldn't help but care about Zheng Xuanlin.
"I'm sorry, seniors, I'm sorry." Tao Yuan came out to apologize to several people, bending very low, expressing his sincere apology. These had to be done for the camera to capture, because he was a newcomer, and these were all seniors with much higher popularity.
Cheng Yi looked at Tao Yuan, who was bending over to apologize, and his expression didn't soften. Even if he knew that Tao Yuan had done those things on purpose in order to complete the mission, he couldn't let go of his anger. Because regardless of whether he did it on purpose or not, Zheng Xuanlin's complete indulgence in his behavior hurt his heart.
After the filming was over, they each went back to their rooms to rest. Tao Yuan did not go back to his room, but followed Zheng Xuanlin. Because Zheng Xuanlin had a stern face and pretended to be unhappy, Tao Yuan decided to cooperate with him.
After closing the door, Tao Yuan said to him, "You're not really angry, are you?"
Zheng Xuanlin didn't say anything, took a bottle of water from the refrigerator, then walked to the sofa and sat down.
Tao Yuan also walked over and sat down next to him, looking at him sideways. "It's just a recording of a show, and the production team asked me to do this. I can't not do it, otherwise I'll be scolded for being unprofessional. I'm a newcomer with no backing or background, so how can I say no?"
Zheng Xuanlin turned on the TV and still didn't say anything.
Tao Yuan grabbed his hand and said, "I've already apologized to you, so please don't be angry with me."
During the second mission, Zheng Xuanlin had already noticed that something was wrong with Tao Yuan. The further he went, the more obvious it became. However, Zheng Xuanlin still cooperated with him and completed all the tasks. Since he had known about it for a long time, he was of course not really angry now, but was deliberately teasing Tao Yuan, trying to make him act coquettishly with him.
Tao Yuan, who had been pretending to be innocent in front of him, knew that he was not really angry, but still cooperated with his performance.
"Then what do you want to do to not be angry?" Tao Yuan turned his face and made him look at him.
"Will you agree to whatever I ask for?" Zheng Xuanlin looked at him and asked.
"...You tell me first." Tao Yuan said.
"Let's take a shower together," Zheng Xuanlin requested. "If you rub my back, I won't be angry anymore."
"Is it enough to just rub my back?" Tao Yuan asked innocently.
"Hmm..." Zheng Xuanlin pretended to think, "Let's rub my back first, and we can talk about the other things later."
"Okay." Tao Yuan agreed reluctantly.
The two went into the bathroom and turned on the water. Zheng Xuanlin took off his clothes and sat in the bathtub. Tao Yuan wrapped a bath towel around his waist and sat in as well.
Tao Yuan used a towel to wipe his back, thinking that this man had muscles on his back, no wonder he was so strong.
After helping him wet his back, Tao Yuan rubbed his back with his fingers. Touching his hard and tough skin, Tao Yuan couldn't help blushing. Because he remembered the last world, he suddenly missed the feeling of being loved by him.
Zheng Xuanlin felt his fingers caressing his back, and his mind began to wander. It was these hands that had given him such great satisfaction in the locker room last time. Just using his hands was so satisfying, wouldn't it be like ecstasy if they were using other parts of his body? He really wanted to try it.
Zheng Xuanlin suddenly turned around and sat face to face with Tao Yuan.
"What, what's wrong?" Tao Yuan blushed and was frightened by him.
"Let's practice kissing." Zheng Xuanlin hooked his chin with his fingers.
"Now?" Tao Yuan said with eyes wide open. "Actually, I'm already very proficient. I don't need to practice anymore, right?"
"I think you are not skilled enough." Zheng Xuanlin said seriously.
"Really?" Tao Yuan suddenly looked uncertain.
"Come." Zheng Xuanlin held him between his legs, lifted his chin and kissed him.
The two of them had already developed a tacit understanding when kissing, knowing how to please each other and satisfy themselves. However, at this moment, they could not be satisfied by kissing at all. One of them felt empty, the other wanted to vent, and both wanted more.
Tao Yuan leaned on Zheng Xuanlin's chest, the bath towel around his waist spread out, and then he felt a hand touching the place of his desire.
"We agreed to only rub my back..." Tao Yuan held his arm tightly, looking very patient.
Zheng Xuanlin did not answer him, but held his waist and lifted him up to sit on the edge of the bathtub.
"No..." Tao Yuan looked down at him, unable to help but curl his toes, then shuddered. He said no, but his body showed no sign of rejection. His expression gradually shifted from endurance to confusion, tinged with enjoyment.
………………………………
Tao Yuan put on a bathrobe and came out of the bathroom first. He sat down on the edge of the bed, opened his mouth and moved it a little. He felt his jaw was still a little sore, so he cleared his throat which was still a little uncomfortable.
Before Zheng Xuanlin came out, he grabbed the pillow, lay on his side on the bed, and half buried his face in the pillow.
Zheng Xuanlin walked out of the bathroom and saw Tao Yuan curled up on the bed. He walked over to the bed and sat down, stroking his thigh and asked, "What's wrong?"
Tao Yuan didn't move and didn't answer.
