Chapter 54
Yan Yunzhen hugged Lu Zixi from behind, watching him gesture with a gun, squinting his eyes childishly as he aimed. "Bang!"—the target exploded, and he even put his finger to his mouth and blew the "gun smoke." He felt a little amused and helpless. He lowered his head and kissed his nose affectionately, pinching his chin with his fingers. "You're even dubbing your own voice? Do you still think you're so fierce and powerful?"
Lu Zixi wrinkled his nose and pretended to bite him. Yan Yunzhen smiled, straightened his shoulders, placed a pillow on his arm, and assumed a shooting posture.
Lu Zixi was stunned.
Growing up in a military compound, he'd been bent over by adults countless times, so he could tell Yan Yunzhen's posture was perfect. And his hands were steady, the kind you couldn't develop just from filming a movie. You know, many snipers place bricks of equal weight on each hand every day to maintain their balance, something no ordinary person could possibly achieve.
Did you ever get some weird red envelopes from the male god system?
Or was it that Yan Yunzhen's experience before becoming the host was different from that of ordinary people?
Or maybe it's his current identity...
"Dazed again." Yan Yunzhen put down the pillow seemingly naturally, buried the tip of his nose in the crook of his neck and rubbed it for a while, then bit it punishingly. Seeing him blinking back to his senses, he leaned over and whispered in his ear, "I'll contact Yuanhong later and have them investigate the data. If the situation is out of control, we'll have to contact Rona overnight and ask them to work overtime to edit a promotional photo first, and then cooperate with the film company to release promotional footage. In short, we must first prove that the person in the video is not you."
Forget it, let’s not worry about it for now. Anyway, no matter what Yan Yunzhen is like, he likes him.
Besides, it seems like he hasn't confessed a lot of things to Yan Yunzhen... It's the same for both of us.
"If it's convenient, the sooner the better." Lu Zixi turned around and kissed him back. "I'm not afraid of rumors from irrelevant people, but I don't want to disappoint those who like me, whether they are people around me or fans."
What's more, some of them also have expectations for the original owner who has passed away.
If you occupy someone else's body, you have to live a better life.
"I understand." Yan Yunzhen rubbed his hair comfortingly, "Let's eat first. Xiaoyang and Fat Tiger are waiting for us at home."
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for some people.
Public opinion on major websites and Weibo has been boiling over. With the instigation of Changxing and even Tianhan, who is eager to watch the fun, a large number of haters have flooded into Weibo, spreading rumors everywhere and crowding into the official Weibo to demand an explanation. Passersby who are unaware of the situation have begun to take sides. The situation sounds serious, but in fact, the situation does not seem as bad as they imagined.
The first person to call was Rona.
He first denounced the poached chicken figure in the video - it was obviously not his darling lamb, and then he began to take credit proudly, saying that he had asked someone to work overtime overnight to edit the shirtless photo, and if anyone wanted to post on Weibo or make an announcement, they could do it now.
"When you specifically asked me to take the photo, I knew it would be of urgent use." Rona snorted twice. "Well, praise me now! Am I a qualified CP fan who cares about the main characters?"
"Thank you, you're perfect." Yan Yunzhen was rubbing Yan Xiaoyang in his arms. The dog was so annoyed by him that it jumped off and ran around in circles behind Lu Zixi. "How can I repay you?"
"Tsk, tacky! I'm not helping you out of your kindness. It's just that your lamb is so lovable." Rona arrogantly refused to accept Yan Yunzhen's thanks. "Then I'll post on Weibo. Remember to interact in time."
Yan Yunzhen had just hung up the phone when Zhou He called him with the same question, asking him if he wanted to edit the movie highlights and clips and release them now to clear the little guy's name. A little while later, even the female lead of the movie "No. 58 Clinic" Liang Jiaying called him and asked if he needed to repost the clarification on Weibo. She also said that they couldn't eat so much of his food in vain and they had to do something for him. In the end, he even received a call from Yan Yuanhong. After finding out what was going on, he called Yuanhong's emergency public relations.
The phone kept ringing one after another, and by the end his phone was getting hot. Yan Yunzhen finally hung up the last call and felt unusually dazed.
He originally wanted to call the contact himself, but who knew that before he took any action, the person who helped him was more proactive than him who asked for help?
What kind of painting style is this?
In the entertainment industry, it is a rare and precious thing to believe in the character of an artist with whom you are not so close. Not kicking someone when they are down is considered a good relationship. As a result, everyone who has worked with Lu Zixi stood on his side. Even Yan Zhi left him a message on QQ, saying that if there is any way she can help, she is willing to step forward.
He knew that he had been too cold towards people and things in the past, so this time when he showed some interest in Lu Zixi, everyone saw it and naturally wanted to be nicer to the little guy for his sake. But being able to stand up and speak for the little guy must have been a reflection of his own personal charm.
It's really strange...
Yan Yunzhen looked at his adorable little lamb with mixed feelings.
If Yan Yunzhen didn't sleep, Lu Zixi wouldn't sleep either, but he knew he couldn't help, so he just played nearby, not in a hurry. Even though he was the one in trouble, he was still squatting there playing with the cat, putting Fat Tiger in a heart shape, and was so happy that when he saw him hang up the phone, he was still there calling him: "Hey, Old Yan, come over and take a picture!"
"You're really not worried at all," Yan Yunzhen walked over, took out his phone helplessly, and took a photo of him and Fat Tiger together - a "tiger heart" photo. "I feel like I'm more anxious than you."
"What's the point of me getting anxious? I can't help. You're already solving the problem. If I'm still worried and scared, wouldn't that mean I don't trust you? It would only add to your psychological burden." Lu Zixi continued to stroke the cat with his head down. "Oh, it's okay. I've died once before. What's there to be afraid of?"
"Don't mention the word 'death' so casually from now on." Yan Yunzhen squatted down and gently patted him on the mouth. "I'm angry, give me a kiss."
"You're just looking for an excuse to kiss me." Lu Zixi held the cat and moved closer helplessly.
Fat Tiger stretched out his claws and pushed Yan Yunzhen away mercilessly.
Yan Yunzhen held the claw in his hand patiently and continued.
Fat Tiger's hind paws kicked directly on his shoulders.
"You're not done yet," Yan Yunzhen took the cat into his arms. He heard it howl fiercely like a dog, so he had no choice but to give up. He held the cat like he was coaxing a child, patting it as he walked, "Okay, okay, I won't kiss you anymore. Are you satisfied? What kind of cat is this?"
Lu Zixi sat on the carpet, looked up at him and couldn't stop laughing. Yan Xiaoyang finished spinning around, then ran over and buried himself in his arms like a big woolen blanket.
Yan Yunzhen also looked back at him gently.
The orange-yellow light enveloped the entire room. It seemed as if the originally large house had gone from being deserted to being bustling since someone had no idea when.
"You know, before I even took the initiative to contact anyone, they all expressed their willingness to help you through this difficult time." Yan Yunzhen held Fat Tiger in his arms, sitting face to face with him on the heated carpet. "I was just wondering, why is my little lamb so lovable?"
"I treat others with sincerity. I don't ask others to treat me with sincerity, but I ask for a clear conscience." Lu Zixi reached out and poked him in the heart. "People are all made of flesh and blood. No one is born to be at odds with others."
"Is this your philosophy of life?" Yan Yunzhen smiled.
"Oh, why are you making it so complicated?" Lu Zixi held the dog and played with Yan Xiaoyang's paws. "I never thought about entering the entertainment industry before, but then I started to like filming, so I broke into it wholeheartedly. I didn't expect the entertainment industry to be so complicated. I was quite scared at first, but then I thought, no matter how bizarre it is, it's still mostly composed of ordinary people. Most of them should be normal people like me. I can film during the day and go home at night to have a companion, a cat and a dog, and that's a happy thing. Living a good life is the real thing."
"I think so too." Yan Yunzhen high-fived Fat Tiger's cat paw and Yan Xiaoyang's dog paw. "But I see this matter from a different perspective than you do. Perhaps it's because of different experiences. I'm used to seeing too much success around me, and I find it difficult to have a simple happiness and a peaceful state of mind... It's not easy for us to trust others. Without your gift of honesty, it's hard for us to love each other without reservation."
"Thank you." Yan Yunzhen suddenly spoke in a soft voice.
"Huh?" Lu Zixi looked up at him in confusion while petting the dog.
"Thank you for giving me a home." Yan Yunzhen moved closer and, despite Fat Tiger's strong objections, kissed his forehead. "Thank you, my little lamb."
You don’t know, this was my biggest dream when I fell in love with you ten years ago.
It is also my biggest dream during all those days and nights when I haven’t met you.

Three hours after the topic fermented, at ten o'clock in the evening, "Dawn Aurora" spoke out.
@Fashion Magazine aurora_Dawn: @Lu Wenqi's What to Eat Today @Yan Yunzhenzacharias's Christmas special issue sneak peek! Deep in the mud, looking up at the stars, may everyone be able to hold on to their inner innocence, gentle and powerful. Pre-sale link ← Bonus Easter egg from the movie "Clinic No. 58" [Image][Image]]
The photographers, planners, stylist and editors circled at the end of the Weibo post are all well-known in the industry.
The theme of this issue of the magazine is "Stars in the Mud", just like Lu Zixi's eyes in the photo, pure and clear, like fine obsidian.
Probably for the purpose of keeping its trump card secret, Shuguang did not release the cover image, but only released an inside page that could prove that the person in the video was not Lu Zixi. The painting style was warm and fresh, forming a sharp contrast with the cover and movie special, which were somewhat serious and cold in style.
Due to the unique perspective, the photographer emphasizes not the "mud" but the "stars"—a figure somewhere between youth and adolescence, standing in a pool of clear water, the shimmering waters shimmering in the water. A soaked white shirt clings to a perfectly defined chest. Despite the layer of fabric, it's so thin and transparent that it only seems to conceal, a sensuality that's overflowing with hormones. The shirt is unbuttoned, the fabric floating on the surface, leaving the rest of the body completely submerged. Refraction of the sunlight reveals only a vague, graceful silhouette.
Lu Zixi stood in the center of the picture, scooping up a handful of clear water and pouring it over his head thoroughly, as if washing off some sticky dust.
In the next photo, he shook his hair vigorously, water droplets splashed, he raised his head, and the smile on his face was as bright as the sun.
After a brief period of silence, Weibo has once again caused a stir.
[—Mountain King]: …??? What the hell??? Am I seeing things??? What??? Is that our little lamb???
[Cheng]: Dawn!!! Oh my god, my son has made it big! Oh my god, he's so successful! Mom loves you and believes in your innocence! So pretty! She looks thin when she's dressed and has meat when she's undressed, so you're definitely one of us sheep!
【cy_cy】: Haha, something like this happened today. Isn't it ironic to post something like this? Any explanation?
【Wang Xingren who loves eating fish】: Hehe, the above person is a face, there are photos, don’t you know how to look at them yourself? He commented immediately, he is really a professional hater
【Bone Blood Ashes】: hhhhh The host is a Chang Yi fan, right? I jumped tonight - it's night to speak up for your master, slandering our little brother for stealing the male lead through the backdoor. Are you tired? It was a long time ago. Our Lu Xiaoyang has already reached Dawn. What about you?
[大的大只是短小君]: The legendary asking for a hammer and getting a hammer. Speaking of which, how can a piece of trash like Chang Yi still have fans?
【cy_cy】: Sorry, I can't tell where the hammer is. Yes, the figure is different, but no one knows when the video was filmed?
[Lost Elf]: ...Brother, you got the male lead you're all so jealous of in September, okay? It's only December now, bro? ? You can get a body like this in three months? I think that's a real slap in the face, okay!
[Da Keke]: Damn, I suddenly feel bad. "Dawn Aurora" is a double entendre... Changxing is just mud! This little brother is the star that struggled out of the mud of Changxing! Fortunately, the contract has been terminated! I don't know what kind of psychopath he got involved with this time, so he was slandered like this qaq It scared me to tears
【酱面盖】: Oh my god, is it cold? This was taken in winter...
[What is Lu Wenqi eating today?]: Just finished filming today... It's super cold...
【Mo Ju Ju】: My mom got a fake card upstairs, haha ...
【rachel】：??? Lu Xiaoyang suddenly appeared???
【醉里长安】: How can it be so cute? Hurry up and grab it and take a sip hhhhh Come to my arms and give you a warm hug
【Ling Jun】: New fans may not know, but before Xiao Yang became famous, his biggest hobby was replying to comments. I haven’t replied recently because I’ve been busy with work.
【Mute】: Why are there still people who criticize such a good sheep? Are you crazy?qaq
【cy_cy】: It's not certain whether it's black or not. The video is fixed, but what about the audio?
[Autumn Thoughts and Darkness]: Everyone, ignore the lunatic above. If you have time, you can check out the homepage of Weibo. Many people have already spoken out.
The homepage of Weibo is also very lively at this moment, but it is a carnival for big Vs.
In addition to the fact that many marketing accounts and fashion and entertainment bloggers quickly forwarded the blockbuster news released by Shuguang and began to discuss whether the unspoken rules incident was true, many well-known people in the industry began to come forward to speak for this newcomer who was criticized.
@电影第58号醫院v: [Repost] To prevent unidentified people from accusing our little brother of using a body double, let's release the behind-the-scenes footage of the movie. [Eat melon] Look carefully, the figure is consistent with Shuguang's picture, guaranteed to be the original Lu Wenqi, please feel free to watch.
@梁佳莹v: [Repost] As a witness to the original Lu Wenqi, I'd like to ask, how do you manage to cook such delicious food without gaining weight? [Laughing and crying] You single-handedly fed the entire crew three pounds of fat, let's find out.
@A fashion designer who wishes to remain anonymous, _罗納v: [Retweeted] Hehehe, I've seen those pecs, abs, and long legs with my own eyes. Are you jealous?! I even measured his waist myself. Are you jealous?! The clothes he's wearing! They're all designed by me! Envious! Are you jealous?! Looking forward to more collaborations! @Luwenqi's red carpet performance was amazing! Exactly what I was looking for!
@Yan Yunzhenzachariasv: [Retweeted] I've seen it too.]
【Zi Mo Fei Yu】: I finished scrolling through the homepage with a blank expression and burst out laughing at my idol.
【I know the taste of the sea】: It’s incredible, I’m jealous, I’m jealous
【喻】：Male God: I have touched it before, you never thought
[Did Yan Lu come out today?]: By the way, did anyone notice that in the photo just now, the lamb’s chest, that thing, is pink ah ah oh my god
【Qingyi Niaoyu】: At this moment, I really hope that my idol will come back upstairs and say "I have seen it too"
【Gu Tianguang】: Oh my god, hahahahahahahahaha, the upstairs person is poisonous
[Jiang Lan]: Wow, it seems like Xiaoyang is really popular. Everyone he has worked with is willing to speak up for him. It feels like they are all in the same circle and keep in touch with each other. I guess everyone knows that Xiaoyang is innocent.
【Lion Loves to Fish】：Who is Rona? Does anyone know? He seems to be a big shot on Weibo.
[No name]: He is the design director of Shuguang and the son of the chief designer of that niche independent brand of red carpet haute couture suits. In other words, the clothes that our Xiaoyang and male god wore on the red carpet last time were sponsored by him willingly for the purpose of publicity, and the effect was very good. Some people probably just can't stand others, okay, now they are really slapped in the face.
…
The public's eyes are sharp. While there are haters, of course, most people prefer to trust their own eyes. While Chang Xing, the instigator, and Tian Han, the one who fueled the flames, were still dreaming of severely dampening Lu Zixi's enthusiasm, the tide of the discussion on Weibo had quietly begun to shift. Many of those who were influenced by the incident began to apologize for their irrational verbal abuse and side-by-side decisions. At the same time, more and more people began to question who had originally released the audio and video footage. And if the person in the video wasn't Lu Wenqi... then who could it be?
First, the possibility of self-promotion can be largely ruled out. Lu Wenqi has always had a good reputation, his career has been steadily improving, and he just signed with the renowned Yuanhong. Unless he's completely out of his mind, he wouldn't resort to such potentially insurmountable hype. Therefore, this must be a long-planned, malicious frame-up. Who is trying to frame him? In other words, for whom would the collapse of his image be a positive or even a welcome development?
Although passers-by do not know the true course of events, many people still point the finger at two parties: his former boss Chang Xing, with whom he had a feud, actor Chang Yi, with whom he had a feud, and Tianhan, the Yuanhong rival behind him.
Tianhan and Changxing dared to lead the charge, and Yuanhong was no pushover. Seeing this public sentiment, they immediately launched an emergency public relations campaign. Those paid marketing accounts didn't care; if Yuanhong offered more money, they would publish stories that favored Yuanhong. Soon, the story of Lu Wenqi's hidden relationship, which had been so prevalent just an hour ago, was replaced by a story of Lu Wenqi being framed. This reversal in just three or four hours was as swift as a gust of wind, and everyone was on edge. It felt like a race against time, and they finally managed to turn the tide of public opinion before it became too late.
Lu Zixi won this fight.
After this ups and downs, it was already early morning of the next day.
Although the video has been clarified by everyone, the audio has not, and the crisis has not been completely resolved.
"Have you found any evidence about Changxing?" After Lu Zixi finished looking at his phone, he turned to look at Yan Yunzhen who had been sitting next to the computer.
"Yeah." Yan Yunzhen pulled him over, sat him on his lap, and pointed to the document on the screen. "Changxing really has evidence against many people... It would be easy to arouse public anger and eliminate Changxing, but I feel something is wrong."
"Actually, the most important thing is that I don't understand why Changxing hates me so much," Lu Zixi leaned in Yan Yunzhen's arms and thought for a moment, "Why does he have to chase me and bite me?"
"Yes. And what Changxing is doing is too dangerous. If this evidence is discovered, won't they be ganged up on?" Yan Yunzhen also found it strange. "Once they incur public wrath and everyone finds out they have some leverage over them, they'll probably join forces to eliminate Changxing. And Changxing itself isn't a large group like Tianhan or Yuanhong. They don't need to know the secrets of so many people because they're too low-level to have that many enemies."
"Do you feel like this is a 'suicide attack'? Or a suicide squad? If they can kill you, that's even better, but if they can't, then they're dead." Yan Yunzhen asked, and when Lu Zixi nodded, he continued, "Actually, I've checked before. Changxing is a shell company. It's been in the red for years. It signs people every year, invests in movies every year, but they never go online. It's like a money laundering base. Is the original owner's escape from them really something worth getting angry about?"
"So what do you mean?" Lu Zixi looked up at him.
"Do you think it's possible that Changxing provided leverage on those powerful people for someone behind the scenes, and now that Changxing's secret has been exposed, they want to quickly kick Changxing out as a scapegoat, and then take the leverage back to the headquarters, paralyzing the people who don't know the truth, making them think that their leverage has disappeared, and the real conspiracy will not be exposed?" Yan Yunzhen asked him.
"I...I don't know." Lu Zixi felt a little confused and shook his head. "But if you can find out these things, can't others?"
"Others can't." Yan Yunzhen nodded affirmatively, and Lu Zixi understood what he meant in an instant.
Because there is a system.
Normal people should not be able to detect it.
But even with a system, Yan Yunzhen's investigative ability seems a bit too strong...
"Don't speak out about the audio issue for now." Yan Yunzhen thought for a moment and patted his head. "I don't think things are that simple. I can't lead you into this trap. Be good, it's too late, go to bed."
"You haven't slept yet." Lu Zixi insisted, "I'll stay with you."
"Really?" Yan Yunzhen was about to frown, but suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Okay, don't regret it."
As he said that, he picked up Lu Zixi and carried him sideways, walking towards the bedroom.
—Like the princess hug that attracted the attention of the whole school.
"What are you doing?" Lu Zixi was startled.
"Go to sleep." Yan Yunzhen said calmly.
Lu Zixi really didn't want to "punch him in the chest with his little fists" like a sissy, but he couldn't kick him, so he could only glare at him and said, "Put me down!"
"You're really sleeping." Yan Yunzhen kissed him, "You're so fierce and aggressive."
"...Just cover yourself with a quilt and sleep?" Lu Zixi looked at him suspiciously.
"Yeah." Yan Yunzhen nodded.
"I don't believe it." There was still a hint of wariness in Lu Zixi's eyes.
"It's too late to disbelieve it. It's your fault that you had to accompany me." Yan Yunzhen said as he used his elbow to push open the bedroom door handle.
"Yan! Yun! Zhen!"
Lu Zixi was anxious and almost lost his temper, but he heard Yan Yunzhen whispering softly in his ear: "I love you."
His movements stopped immediately.
Yan Yunzhen held him and stood at the door, as if waiting for him to make a decision.
After a long time, Yan Yunzhen felt a soft kiss on his face.
“…Chiu.”
