Noticing that the time wasnât early anymore, Ren Jing suggested, âLetâs have a meal together?â
Old Gu and Old Yu, â...â
Not waiting for them to reply, Ye Chen said delightfully, âLetâs have one together! Iâll book a table at Lanting!â
Being able to celebrate such a joyful day together is simply the best!
Gu Xi and Yu Xingzhe simply wished they could go home now!
Ren Jing said again, âLetâs eat at home.â
Ye Chenâs eyes brightened up. âYouâre going to cook?â
Ren Jing, âYes. Itâd be ready in a minute, you should chat in the meantime.â
Ye Chen couldnât help but grin again. He really wanted to give Ren Jing a kiss, but since Old Gu and Old Yu were here, he didnât have the nerve to do it.
Even though Ye Chen decided not to kiss Ren Jing, Gu Xi and Yu Xingzhe had a toothache when they saw his expression. Whatâs with him baring that begging-for-a kiss look? And Ren Jing could unexpectedly hold himself back from kissing him? How impressive, heâs truly not an average person!
Ren Jing almost couldnât restrain himself anymore, thus he promptly went to the kitchen.
After he left, Ye Chen was still foolishly overjoyed. Once he sat down, he repeated his words, âThatâs really amazing!â
Gu Xi, â...â
Old Yu felt that he could finally walk out of the curse called Ye Chen. Now he only wanted to hit him, alright?!!
Ye Chen felt that both of his childhood friends came over at the right time. He only knew about the truth today and would really like to express his happiness, but he had no one to share it with. Their presence was actually satisfying his need to say everything that was on his mind.
The things from fourteen years ago had initially been really fuzzy, but now it became clearer than ever. Ye Chen told them all about it bit by bit. The more he talked, the happier he became, and the more he felt that he and Ren Jing were destined to be together.
After listening to all of that, Gu Xi and Yu Xingzhe felt really glad from the bottom of their heart.
Even though Ren Jing might have grown up in an awful environment, he would always give the best of him to Ye Chen and place Ye Chen at the tip of his heart.
He had been carrying a torch for Ye Chen for fourteen years. In order to âbe worthyâ of Ye Chen, he had worked hard up until now. Having such a deep infatuation, he would only spend the rest of his life cherishing Ye Chen.
How magnificent, it was such a wonderful fate that tied the two together.
The two fathers felt relieved and happy for Ye Chen. Certainly, this happiness only lasted until they had a meal.
Later, just when they had started eating their meal... Fuck, where the hell is the torch? Bring it for Laozi now, Laozi would like to burn this couple who is shamelessly making a public display of affection to death!
It would be best not to explain the process of them having a meal. It was mostly filled with Ye Chen and Ren Jing being so intimately sweet. Gu Xi and Yu Xingzhe were being shoved so much dog food that they had bloating stomachs, stomachaches, and stomach cramps.
After this meal, they wouldnât need to eat even a grain of rice anymore for three days straight when they got home!
Old Yu was the pathetic one. His house was empty, and the same went for his heart. He was aware that something really important to him was going away, but he really had no idea what he should do.
Ren Jing looked at him as he smiled. âNotice what?â
Ye Chen, âNoticing that weâre dating!â He immediately realized what he had just said and instantly turned red.
Ren Jingâs heart turned really sweet. If it wasnât because he was afraid that Ye Chen would have a sore throat, heâd really like to hear Ye Chen repeat that sentence ten thousand times.
After Ye Chen calmed his heart down, he told Ren Jing seriously, âWe really have to hide it, otherwise...otherwise, my father will beat me to death.â
Ren Jing said as he smiled, âDonât worry, itâll be alright.â
Ye Chen felt that it shouldnât be a problem. After all, they were actors (Ren Jing was), so their acting skills shouldnât be that bad (not you, though)!
When he was about to get off the car, Ye Chen recalled the daily mission, hence he pulled Ren Jingâs sleeve.
Ren Jing looked at him. âWhat is it?â
Ye Chenâs voice was so soft like a mosquito humming, âYouâre going to be very busy today?â
Ren Jing replied, âProbably so.â
Ye Chen said again, âWe have to spend less time together to avoid arousing suspicions, right?â
Ren Jing held Ye Chenâs hand. Just when he was about to say something, Ye Chen spoke first, âI want to kiss you.â
Ren Jingâs heart skipped a beat.
Ye Chen was about to die because of shame. Still, he braced himself to say, âW-we wonât have the ch-chance to...mn...â
Ren Jing had already kissed him before he finished his words.
Even though he did it because of the mission, Ye Chen would also really like to kiss Ren Jing. But it seemed that they wouldnât have the chance to do so for the whole day.
After the two parted, Ren Jing asked, âDo you want more?â
Ye Chen was about to shake his head violently before Death System said coldly, âThereâs thirty seconds left.â Right, the daily mission had a time requirement this time.
Ye Chen had no choice but to nod instead of shaking his head.
Ren Jing was only blurting out whatever came into his mind, so he really didnât expect Ye Chen to nod.
Seeing his Chen Chen being this docile, he would go on strike sooner or later.
The two kissed again for a moment. Death System didnât remind Ye Chen even though they had exceeded the time limit. When they met the crew, those with discerning eyes such as âBig Brother Yang and the Young Aidesâ stole a glance at Ye Chenâs lips secretly and thought: So red, just by one look and... Hehehe...
But of course, there were some onlookers who were unaware of the truth, such as Director Li.
Director Li treated Ye Chen really well now. When he saw Ye Chen, he smiled and greeted him. He also praised Ye Chen by saying that he looked good and had maintained his good condition. Furthermore, he also said that Ye Chen was a very dedicated young man.
Ye Chen was being praised so much that he turned red soon. He felt really embarrassed when he recalled himself staying up all night to play games.
The setting of «Devotion» was pretty simple. There wasnât any particular requirement other than going to country F.
There wasnât much requirement on the season either. After all, it was just a romance movie.
Because there werenât many requirements on the settings, they simply shot the movie according to the scenario. Unless Ren Jing and Ye Chen had other plans, there shouldnât be much change to the schedule.
Director Li shouted in high spirits, âAction!â
He felt that it shouldnât be a big deal. Ye Chen was a lot better than he imagined. He had also acknowledged Ren Jingâs professionalism. The act they were going to shoot was ordinary, they should be able to finish it in one shot.
However... Big Brother Yangâs Young Aides fixed their glasses, implying that things wouldnât go that easily.
This act was the first encounter of Yan Han (Ren Jingâs role) and Zhan Chen (Ye Chenâs role) in the collegeâs lecture hall.
Yan Han was teaching at the podium while Zhan Chen listened below.
The act ended with their interlocking gazes.
Zhan Chen was an exuberant and impulsive person. He fell in love with Yan Han at first sight. Although he still didnât know the cause of the flutters inside his heart, he had to express it.
Yan Han was more reserved. He noticed the young manâs gaze and returned his faint smile and that was all.
The camera shot Ye Chen first. Ye Chen expressed the feeling very well. The stunning first sight, the feeling of admiration he had to hide, and the throbbing he was unable to concealââhe did all of them perfectly!
Seeing that, Director Li praised Ye Chen to high heaven. He believed that Ye Chen was a diamond in the rough, which would shine brilliantly with a little bit of polish!
All in all, his acting was really good. He was very natural and his expression was very precise.
Director Li was exaggerating a bit too much, actually. Did Ye Chen even act? He didnât act at all, all of them were his natural reactions.
Stunning first sight? Of course he experienced it! Ren Jing dressing up like this was really handsome. If he had such a teacher when he was still studying, he would probably forget what it meant to skip class.
The feeling of admiration he had to hide? Well, he was trying his best to hide it. He couldnât let anyone notice that he liked Ren Jing, so he had to hold his feelings all to himself. He had to do his best to make people believe that he and Ren Jing had an ordinary...ordinary friendship!
The throbbing he was unable to conceal? Brother Chenâs acting skills were -100. He tried to act like he didnât like Ren Jingâs look, but he was unable to hide it at all...
Therefore, due to such a strange combination of circumstances, Ye Chenâs acting became really fascinating.
There wasnât any problem with Ye Chen. Next was Ren Jingâs turn.
Ren Jingâs act was even simpler. He only needed to smile faintly, then avert his gaze and continue to teach, that should be it.
Ren Jing looked over, smiled, then...
Director, âCut!â
Li Fu asked Ren Jing furiously, âWhatâs going on?â
Why didnât he avert his gaze and continue the lecture after he smiled?
Ren Jing finally averted his gaze. âIâm sorry, I forgot my lines.â
Director Li, â!!!â
How could he even forget his lines???
But actually, no one could blame Ren Jing, either. Who even let the crew dress Ye Chen up with such a neat, white shirt?
Ye Chen was really delicate in the first place. Now that he was dressed up like this, it would be too fishy if Ren Jing could shift his gaze.
