In the end, Yin Chengjue didn't "give it a try" because Rong Yu was going to join the filming of "Blood Dance" the day after tomorrow. If Rong Yu was seen by someone while changing clothes on set and some gossips spread the word, then Rong Yu would be in trouble.
Well, Ms. Sally won't let him off the hook either.
Rong Yu was disappointed for a moment after being rejected, but quickly cheered up and suggested that they sleep together.
Yin Chengjue turned Rong Yu around, then pulled her into his arms from behind and said, "Sleep."
Surprisingly, I had a good night's sleep.
Yin Chengjue opened his eyes groggily, wanting to see what time it was, but as he reached out his hand, he found that there was a heavy object pressing on his hand.
Yin Chengjue lowered his eyes and saw a dark, furry ball nestled in his arms.
It was a soft clump of hair, still carrying the fresh scent of shampoo.
Yin Chengjue stared blankly for a while before belatedly realizing what had happened last night.
They simply hugged each other and slept through the night.
Yin Chengjue lifted the blanket slightly and looked at Rong Yu's handsome face, which was flushed from sleeping, and couldn't help but reach out and poke it.
The disturbed man unconsciously frowned, shifting closer to Yin Chengjue's embrace, as if trying to avoid the light that was shattering his sweet dream.
Yin Chengjue, feeling playful, poked Rong Yu's nose again.
Rong Yu hummed twice in her sleep, her arms around Yin Chengjue's waist tightening a little, as if she were hugging a large, sleep-inducing pillow.
Yin Chengjue almost choked to death!
"Hmm..." Rong Yu stirred and slowly opened her eyes, still sleepy.
Several seconds passed before Rong Yu raised her head and met Yin Chengjue's gaze.
"Good morning, darling." Rong Yu's voice was slightly hoarse when she first woke up, but it also had a unique sexiness, as if it had countless little hooks, making Yin Chengjue's heart itch.
Before Yin Chengjue could respond, Rong Yu's hands began to wander restlessly up and down.
As she touched it, Rong Yu suddenly frowned, as if talking to herself, "Strange... why does this fabric feel so much like real leather..."
Yin Chengjue: "..." Because this is human skin!
As she was touching him, Rong Yu suddenly sat up with a start, exclaiming, "Brother!"
Yin Chengjue lay on his side on the bed, propping his forehead with one hand, and replied, "It's me. What? Have you mistaken me for someone else?"
"Um... well, I usually like to sleep with a body pillow, um, just a regular body pillow..."
“Rong Yu.” Yin Chengjue’s expression suddenly turned solemn: “I don’t like messing around. If you’re just using me as a stepping stone for you, I suggest you choose someone else. Yesterday, that Ziler was the first choice for many artists.”
"Brother?" Rong Yu was taken aback for a moment, then quickly said, "I don't like messing around either. I only want my brother to be my sugar daddy! I don't want anyone else!"
Yin Chengjue's expression softened slightly.
He didn't know when it started, but his feelings for Rong Yu had gradually turned into love. By the time he realized it, his body had already reacted first.
Rong Yu's series of direct attacks were too fierce, striking his heart and stirring his thoughts into a jumbled mess.
He couldn't sort out his feelings for a while, so he could only let his body control his emotions.
He couldn't control his affection for Rong Yu, but he didn't want to suffer the pain and anger of being abandoned and betrayed again.
When Yin Chengjue said to Rong Yu, "You should think about others," he was struggling internally, feeling a sense of loss as if he was pushing away someone who had taken the initiative to throw themselves into his arms.
But he had no choice but to say it.
“Then let me make this clear first: when you’re with me, you’re not allowed to have relationships with anyone else, and I will abide by that,” Yin Chengjue said.
Rong Yu raised four fingers: "Okay! I swear!"
Yin Chengjue: "Especially you are not allowed to flirt with the guy you have a crush on. Even if he comes to you first, you are not allowed to, otherwise I will end the relationship immediately."
Rong Yu suddenly made a strange expression.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Yin Chengjue assumed that he was reluctant and narrowed his eyes dangerously: "What? You're not willing? If you can't do this, then let's go back to a superior-subordinate relationship in business from now on."
“No! It’s not that I’m unwilling, it’s just… Brother, when you came to see my third performance that day, didn’t you hear what I said?” Rong Yu said.
Yin Chengjue didn't understand why he asked that, and asked in confusion, "What?"
"Exactly, I said I would only take off my clothes in front of my crush..."
Rong Yu didn't finish his sentence because he suddenly realized something, something that made him very happy: "Brother, are you... jealous?"
Yin Chengjue: "Don't just say half of what you mean. What do you know?" Yin Chengjue tried hard to recall what Rong Yu had said that day.
"It's nothing." Rong Yu sat cross-legged on the bed and said seriously, "Brother doesn't like me mentioning him, so I won't mention him anymore. I won't mention him again. Brother doesn't want me to see him, so I won't see him. Even if he comes to me, I won't see him. I'll only flirt with brother, okay?"
Yin Chengjue's expression softened a bit, but after thinking about it carefully, something didn't seem right: "But didn't you have a crush on him for a long time? You kept mentioning him on the show, and now you're saying you won't mention him anymore? So decisively?"
"Or are you just creating a persona and there's no real person at all?" Yin Chengjue squinted at Rong Yu.
Actually, if Rong Yu nodded and admitted that this was indeed a persona she was creating and that she didn't actually have a crush on anyone, Yin Chengjue could breathe a sigh of relief.
Ultimately, he is a businessman, and in the business world, profit comes first.
Creating a persona for an artist, crafting a celebrity image that can garner fan support, is a viable approach, and it's what most entertainment companies do these days.
“Well, there’s no need to say that…” Rong Yu looked at Yin Chengjue with mixed feelings: “He is still a person, but… if we really have to weigh the words ‘crush’ and ‘brother,’ ‘brother’ is more important. I’ll listen to my brother. From now on, I will only hug my brother and only flirt with my brother. As long as my brother is my sugar daddy, I will never mention the words ‘crush’ again.”
Yin Chengjue was almost confused by Rong Yu's words.
However, Rong Yu's last words were quite pleasing to Yin Chengjue.
Yin Chengjue: "Okay, go wash up. You're starting filming tomorrow, so this is your last day to be carefree. Where else do you want to go?"
Rong Yu thought about it carefully before saying, "How about you help me go over the script, brother?"
The next day, Yin Chengjue took Rong Yu directly to the photography studio.
Sally had arrived early. As soon as Rong Yu got out of the car, Sally came up to greet her, saying urgently, "When you go in later, be sure to smile and greet everyone properly. Don't have a long face in front of many people. Keep it up. You're a newcomer now, so you need to be careful in all aspects. You don't want to be in the news for being a diva in your first film, do you?"
Rong Yu nodded: "I know, Sister Sally."
Sally glanced at Yin Chengjue sitting in the car: "Mr. Yin, is there anything else you need?"
Yin Chengjue waved his hand: "Not for now."
Sally: "Then why haven't you driven your car away yet?"
With one hand on the steering wheel, Yin Chengjue smiled and said, "Sally, it seems like today is the opening ceremony."
Sally: "So?"
Yin Chengjue: "After the opening ceremony, there will be a press conference on site."
Sally: "Mm."
Yin Chengjue: "And it seems that I happen to be an investor in this work. As an investor, I am qualified to attend this press conference and give a final congratulatory summary."
Rong Yu went in with Sally first, while Yin Chengjue waited outside for a while before getting out of the car, thus avoiding a collision between them.
Qin Linlin was waiting there early, and the other actors and crew members arrived one after another. At eight o'clock sharp, Qin Linlin lit incense in front of the set incense and candle table to pray for a smooth filming. The other actors and crew members also stepped forward to put incense, and the camera captured their group photo.
At 10 o'clock, the reporters who had been waiting outside arrived at their respective interview points to interview the lead actors.
As the male lead this time, Rong Yu was destined to be the focus of all the reporters' attention. Microphones were handed to him one after another, and each sharp question was full of traps. If he was not careful, he would become the target of others' criticism.
Fortunately, Rong Yu maintained a smile throughout and answered questions flawlessly, much to the disappointment of the reporters who were hoping to dig up exclusive scoops.
Rong Yu was just a newcomer to the entertainment industry. They thought they could easily find fault with him and criticize him harshly. Even if they couldn't attack him verbally, they could still attack his expression. If Rong Yu showed the slightest impatience, words like "acting like a big shot," "making a scene," and "the collapse of his gentle persona" would be used to describe him.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Rong Yu maintained a smile from beginning to end, and it wasn't the kind of fake smile that you could tell at a glance, but a gentle smile that made people feel very comfortable.
As the interview time was about to end, some reporters who hadn't managed to dig up any scoops had a dark look in their eyes. One of them shoved the microphone close to Rong Yu's mouth and shouted, "Mr. Rong, we heard that you squeezed out Liu Huan to get this male lead role. Did you use any unfair competition methods?"
Upon hearing this, the other reporters fell silent, wanting to hear how Rong Yu would explain. In fact, they had already prepared their own responses. If Rong Yu denied it, they would immediately follow up with, "If you deny that you squeezed him out, then you think Liu Huan is not worthy of being the male lead of this drama?"
If Rong Yu denies it again, they will continue to press her: "From your personal perspective, do you think Liu Huan is capable of playing this role?"
If Rong Yu were to answer with the word "worthy" at this moment, the reporters would immediately return to their initial question with smiles: "Then why was he squeezed out by you? So you used some unfair competitive methods, right?"
