I’ll Give You a Hug (1)
The footage from the livestream was blurry.
Everyone stared as Director Zheng walked away gracefully.
【!!!】
【Director Zheng, what do you mean!】
【Xi Chengyun: ?】
【…How should I put it, erm, my emotions are conflicted. I assumed that Director Zheng wouldn’t outwardly dislike Bai Qi, after all, he had to save face for Xi-laoshi… But I never expected him to give such a comment】
【Looks like Director Zheng and Xi-laoshi are actually the ones who are on bad terms, am I right?】
【I’m genuinely curious about Bai Qi’s temperament. How good must he be to make Director Zheng to compliment him in such a way!】
The topic appeared on the Weibo Hot Search as soon as the reporters posted the clip of the interview.
#YourWifeisCute# was one of the most prominent hashtags of the day, and it was full of other suggestive meanings.
【Bai Qi is such a cutie】
【Lol, Xi’s fans assembled overnight to come up with a plan to protect their sister-in-law】
【Ngaw hahaha. The atmosphere within the entertainment industry has become so much livelier since Bai Qi and Xi-laoshi disclosed their relationship】
When Shang Guang saw the comment, he thought, ‘Well, you all are the ones who are enjoying the liveliness. We, my team and I, on the other hand, are dying!’
“Shang-ge, should we do anything about this?” one of the staff next to him asked.
Shang Guang reached forward. “Pass me my phone.”
The staff quickly passed the phone to him.
When Xi Chengyun’s fanbase ran into unmanageably huge issues, they’d contact Xi Chengyun’s studio for help.
The last time this happened was when Xi Chengyun’s marriage was brought to light.
Shang Guang lowered his gaze and saw a message from the fanbase group chat.
【Is Director Zheng openly declaring his love for Mr. Bai? What should we do?】
【Shang-ge, do something! Last time it was Bu Xiao and this time it was Zheng Ming. Not to mention previous speculations about Qiu Sichuan’s rumored admiration】
【This is Xi-ge’s wife we’re talking about here!!!】
Xi’s fans were howling in anger and desperation.
Shang Guang wiped his face. ‘You didn’t seem to feel the same way back then. When Xi-ge first said that he was getting married, you even said that you’d expose the true colors of his cunning partner.’
Shang Guang started typing:
【There’s nothing to worry about, Xi-ge is the only person Mr. Bai loves】
After that, Shang Guang kept his phone away and said, “Get me a car. I’m going to meet Xi-ge on set.”
“But there are two new people who are supposed to sign their contracts…” the staff reminded him.
“Let’s settle that when Xi-ge is back.”
“Okay.”
After more than 3 hours, Shang Guang finally arrived at the filming location.
After a lot of effort, he finally found Team B’s filming location. When he arrived, the camera happened to be rolling, and the staff pantomimed for him to remain silent.
Shang Guang took a peek, and the peek gave him a mini heart attack.
Xi-ge was taking off Bai Qi’s clothes.
Shang Guang’s wide eyes were about to pop out from their sockets.
‘Is this appropriate for all ages? More importantly, can this even be shown on TV? Where is Zheng Ming? Is he out of his mind???’
This was a bolt out of the blue for Shang Guang. However, despite his shock, he was in the right mind to not shout out loud in horror.
He walked one round around the set and went off set. He asked one of the staff members, “Where’s Director Zheng?”
“I think he just came back. Perhaps you can have a look to see if he’s working with team A?”
Shang Guang nodded and walked in the direction pointed out to him. Just then, a man with long hair who was wearing sunglasses walked past him.
The man looked down to adjust the volume of the mini amplifier he was wearing.
Shang Guang was puzzled. If it weren’t for his recognizable long hair, who would be able to tell that it was Zheng Ming?
For a moment, he thought that Zheng Ming had started allowing tour guides to lead tours on their set and the man in front of him was a tour guide.
“Zheng Ming, do you have a moment?”
“No.”
“…”
While Shang Guang and Director Zheng had a staring contest, the camera was still rolling at Bai Qi’s set.
Based on the script, as soon as Ban Yuren brought Li Yu back from the temple, he had taken a closer look at the only male left in the family.
He seldom found interest in anything.
However, he had a strong urge to tear away the women’s hanfu that Li Yu was wearing and see if he looked any different underneath.
Xi Chengyun stood in front of Bai Qi. He was now one with his character; he seemed like someone who knew how to torture others and make them tremble.
“What are you scared of?” he asked while he took off the sash from Bai Qi’s waist.
“Don’t you remember meeting me when you were younger?” he asked while he leaned closer to him. A handsome face came close to Bai Qi, and his deep, beautiful features carried an oppressive aura. He smiled without his eyes and said, “Strictly speaking, I’m your brother-in-law.”
Bai Qi had read through the entire script and was very familiar with the characteristics of each character. So, he knew this was one of Ban Yuren’s methods to humiliate others.
Yet, he couldn’t help but hold his breath. For a split second, he couldn’t tell Xi-laoshi and the fictional character apart.
The man in front of him raised a hand and clapped three times.
His fingers were beautifully carved by the Gods and shone brightly under the studio lights. It was easy to mistake him for a gentleman.
Soon after he clapped his hands, a servant came forward with a new set of clothes.
“Do you like it?”
“I suppose you’re someone who likes red colored things. After all, you used to chase after the lanterns by the street when you were younger,” he stated calmly before he helped the young man into the new outfit.
Suddenly, Bai Qi was reminded of the time where he and Xi Chengyun took their wedding photo at the Civil Affairs Bureau. Xi Chengyun had tidied up his clothes for him similarly.
However, it was very different now. Back then, they weren’t close. There was clearly a distance between them despite their actions saying otherwise.
He didn’t have Xi-laoshi in his heart and vice versa.
But now…
