Chapter 215: With Gentleness, Loving Kindness, and Also a Little Fanaticism

The gay-themed movie wasn’t affected by the matter of coming out of the closet, and filming continued.

There was no filming for Fu Sichen’s role that day, but life was tougher for Pei Zhen. He had to film a segment in which his character was going through a time of deep self-analysis.

Pei Zhen had been signed on by Fu Sichen, naturally, the arrangement extended to include Xiao Nian. He hadn’t even been jobless for a day when he very quickly became the future Best Actor’s manager again.

Xiao Nian appeared to have turned up at perfect timing. When he saw Pei Zhen, the latter’s eyes were bloodshot, and there were signs of ambiguous activities showing on the delicate skin around his collarbone.

At once, Xiao Nian’s expression turned into one of amusement. When Fu Sichen was around, he didn’t dare to say much, but with just him and the sluggish Pei Zhen, he couldn’t help but make comments.

“Daddy, it seems your relationship with your boyfriend has stabilized.”

“Daddy, it’s great to drive, but don’t speed.”

“Daddy, why are you falling asleep again? Have you been kept awake by the vixen Fu Sichen and his pestering?”

Xiao Nian, whose head contained all sorts of dirty thoughts, became increasingly mischievous. Pei Zhen couldn’t bring himself to say that he ended up being the bottom party. In the end, he just feigned indifference and told Xiao Nian to mind his own business.

“This is my business, of course.” Xiao Nian was a little peeved at being dismissed just like that. “In the future, if you really make a great comeback, all your rich women fans would most certainly turn into couple fans. I need to plan ahead where your fans are concerned. And without understanding the intricacies between you and your boyfriend, I can’t really do any meaningful marketing.”

Pei Zhen let out a big yawn.

Surely he couldn’t complain to Xiao Nian about the fact that the interactions, between his boyfriend and himself, were a daily routine of the ‘you may float along as you wish, but I’d still dote on you’ kind.

Besides, it was himself who did the floating!

Pei Zhen still lacked sleep.

When he arrived at the filming location and was getting out of the car, he yawned a few times. Once he was out of the car, his peach blossom eyes were glistening, and the corners of his eyes were red.

Pei Zhen had fair skin.

The result of good genes.

The Condor Heroes were out at the archaeological sites every day, and they didn’t seem to tan at all.

He had red eyes, fair skin, and was on a diet to lose weight for filming. Therefore when he turned up at the filming location, he was greeted by looks of sympathy.

“Did you read yesterday’s news?”

“Rubbish, it’s caused such a big commotion that everyone has read it.”

“Oh dear, that’s so pitiful. I’ve never seen Pei Pei scramble and flee …”

“His eyes are bloodshot. I guess he’s been crying all night. Sigh, he’s in such a pitiful state and has still to come to film.”

“What else can he do if he doesn’t film? Who knows, this may be his final assignment.”

The whisperings stopped there as many of his fans were sympathetic. The onsite assistants were especially proactive, and they were even attentive to Xiao Nian.

Pei Zhen wasn’t a troublesome boss.

Normally when he was filming, Xiao Nian would be sitting by the side playing online games with his online ‘wife’. He was interrupted by someone serving him a hot cup of tea.

Xiao Nian looked up and was quite surprised to see the enthusiastic assistant. “I… I’ve had my tea.” Plus, he’d gone to the toilet quite a few times!

“No problem; you deserve the best treatment.” The young lady was warm-hearted, showering Xiao Nian with attention. “Mr. Xiao, you’re a good man. We leave Pei Pei in your good hands!”

The great manager Xiao was a little taken aback by the show of enthusiasm that seemed to come from nowhere.

At that point, a text message came in from his other Daddy, checking on whether there had been any barbaric men trying to make a move on his Pei Zhen.

[Not at all! Everything’s good!] To put himself in the good books, Xiao Nian added almost immediately, ignoring his online wife, saying, [Ever since you came along, the world had become a better place! People even look at me differently now!]

Fu Sichen called Xiao Nian and demanded, “Describe how they look at you now.”

“With gentleness, loving kindness, and also a little fanaticism.”
