At that time, Gu Jinmian and Yin Moshu attracted a large number of CP fans to vertically enter the pit because of a single photo.
Of course, a photo couldn’t compare to a motion video. This scene in the live broadcast was even more impactful.
The precious young master, who was like gold and jade, looked even more handsome in the live broadcast. There was not a single flaw on his face, and his eyes were like folded peach blossoms, with thick and long eyelashes like little fans.
Unfortunately, he had a paralyzed face, like a fierce and haughty puppet cat, giving the impression of being difficult to get along with. However, he was so beautiful that people couldn’t resist it.
People especially wanted to see his softer side, and he did not disappoint. When he saw Yin Moshu, he put away his sharp claws and jumped onto Yin Moshu.
Many people who watched romance variety shows didn’t know much about Yin Moshu before. They had only seen him occasionally on stage, in advertisements, and in movie promotions. He was either cold and aloof or had a captivating smile that seemed heartless.
When he hugged Gu Jinmian, the genuine joy and fondness in his eyes, along with his focused and profound smile, made people’s hearts skip a beat.
As they got closer, that kind of ambiguity that grew secretly excited the audience.
As a result, they moved behind the scenes.
[???]
[Aren’t we VIPs worthy of watching a kiss?]
[Camera man, keep up! Did you forget to eat?]
[Go, go! I’m going crazy. I can’t stand not seeing it!]
[The moment the young master jumped onto Yin Moshu, I imagined countless scenes and poses. As a result, it’s all gone?]
Gu Jinmian and Yin Moshu’s live broadcast room became the most popular among five rooms, even though there was currently no one in the live broadcast frame.
After Yin Moshu carried Gu Jinmian behind the scenes, Gu Jinmian blinked and said, “Aren’t we supposed to show our affection to them?”
Yin Moshu chuckled softly, “We should do it with some discretion.”
Gu Jinmian didn’t understand.
Sure enough the difficulty level has increased.
“Did I exert force in the wrong direction?” Gu Jinmian said. “Never mind, I’ll just cooperate with you.”
“That’s not right,” Gu Jinmian continued. “Why does it feel like you understand better? Is this something an idol should understand?”
Yin Moshu chuckled again, “In the past, I read a few romance books to do something.”
Gu Jinmian: “???”
“What did you do?”
“Dream.”
Gu Jinmian: “…”
Hearing the commotion outside, Gu Jinmian finally realized that he had been on top of Yin Moshu all this time.
It was so stable because his legs were wrapped tightly around Yin Moshu’s waist, and Yin Moshu was supporting him.
Supporting him on the buttocks.
Gu Jinmian: “…”
Gu Jinmian blushed belatedly.
When the camera man rushed over, they saw Gu Jinmian struggling to get off Yin Moshu. Their previously pale face was now completely red, almost reaching their neck.
When he saw it, his eyes darted around, tugged at his slightly disheveled shirt, and dared not look at the camera.
[???]
[Something incredible must have happened!]
[I missed it. I hate it!]
[What did Yin Moshu do to the young master to make him blush like that?]
Yin Moshu seemed to guess what the barrage was saying and explained very sincerely, “We didn’t do anything, we just exchanged a few words.”
[Do you think we’ll believe that?]
[There is no three hundred taels of silver here.] (TL: a clumsy denial resulting in self-exposure)
The backstage wasn’t suitable for filming. They needed to introduce themselves to the audience in the opening live broadcast, so they had to move to a well-lit place to start.
Yin Moshu took Gu Jinmian to a conference room, and they ran into Hang Yuanting and Ji Nan on the way.
“…..”
Four people appeared simultaneously in two live broadcast rooms.
[Hang Yuanting and Yin Moshu are the second male lead and the male lead in “Crossing the Sea Under Camouflage.” I have a feeling this kind of situation will happen often, hahaha.]
[Hang Yuanting is first.]
[The production team is crazy, in the movie, Hang Yuanting is the male lead, and then they put Yin Moshu in the final live broadcast room?]
[You’re the crazy one, get lost!]
The director said, “Currently, only this conference room is available, so why don’t you all use it together? It might be fun… hehe…he.”
[The director’s last “he” disappeared under the young master’s murderous gaze.]
[The team director is so cunning.]
[This year is too exciting.]
The director chuckled, “It’s fine, you all know each other, so relax, chat, and don’t be too restrained.”
The conference room table was pushed to the side, and four chairs were arranged in the center, indicating that the production team had prepared for this.
[Director: In danger.]
[The director is now on the Gu family’s hit list.]
[And Ji family.]
[That’s hard to say, Ji Nan took the initiative to sit next to Gu Jinmian.]
[? Put away your disgusting thoughts; Ji Nan is Hang Yuanting’s boyfriend, and they’re about to get married.]
[Who said they’re getting married soon? Is there evidence?]
Gu Jinmian relaxed a bit after a moment of embarrassment. Since no one was speaking, he decided to break the silence. He turned to Ji Nan and said, “Why are you looking so haggard?”
It seemed like a caring remark, the audience was about to get excited and Ji Nan was about to respond.
Gu Jinmian: “Isn’t filming a romance variety show supposed to make you incredibly happy? Like me, glowing with joy.”
After saying that, he glanced at each of the cameras, not hiding the slight blush still on his face.
Ji Nan: “…..”
[Hahaha! Here it comes again!]
[That strange competitive spirit!]
Yin Moshu smiled slightly, pursing his lips.
Hang Yuanting’s expression turned somewhat unpleasant for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and began introducing, albeit a bit stiffly, “Hello, everyone. I’m Hang Yuanting, and this is my boyfriend, Ji Nan. He’s from outside the entertainment industry, the General Manager of the Marketing Department at Ji Chang Group. We’ve been together for six years.”
Ji Nan forced a smile to go along with it.
As a non-entertainment industry person, he didn’t manage his expression as well, and his smile seemed somewhat forced, especially when compared to the other couple.
Gu Jinmian continued, “Hello, everyone. I’m Gu Jinmian, and this is my boyfriend, Yin Moshu. You all know him, right?”
When he mentioned Yin Moshu, his pride was impossible to conceal.
[We know, we know, of course we know!]
[Look at how smug you are, your smile could reach the heavens.]
Yin Moshu followed and controlled the corner of his mouth then said, “Hello, everyone. I’m Gu Jinmian’s boyfriend, and this is my…Mian Mian.”
His voice was deep and pleasant, and the pause in his speech was just right. He didn’t specifically look at Gu Jinmian when he said it, but the live broadcast room erupted with excitement.
[My… Mian Mian.]
[I reasonably suspect that Yin Moshu heard Ji Nan call the young master “Mian Mian” just now, ahh!]
[Ji Nan: Am I the one who’s miserable here? Why are these two declaring war on me?]
Gu Jinmian nodded in agreement. “Right!”
[HAHAHA, you still answered! Why are you so cute ah.]
[Gu Jinmian – a person who’s enthusiastic about slapping Ji Nan’s face.]
The production team watched the barrage while trying to find a topic to discuss with them.
One of the directors asked Hang Yuanting and Ji Nan, “You’ve been in a relationship for six years, and the fans are all waiting. Are you two planning to get married?”
Hang Yuanting smiled and said, “Yes.”
Ji Nan’s face darkened slightly, but he didn’t say anything.
The atmosphere became a bit awkward.
The director probably didn’t expect this turn of events and quickly changed the topic, asking, “Did you two know each other for a long time?”
Gu Jinmian replied, “Yes, we met on the set of Director Lin’s ‘Crossing the Sea Under Camouflage.'”
Ji Nan added, “I’ve known Mian Mian since we were kids. We met on the day he was born, and he grew up following me.”
[……]
[Director: I wanted to stir things up, but I didn’t expect it to get this exciting.]
[Wow, is this the harvest season! This is beyond my expectations.]
The director cleared his throat and turned to Yin Moshu, who appeared to be deep in thought. He asked, “Yin Moshu, what are you thinking about?”
Yin Moshu smiled and his gaze turned serious. “I’m thinking about why they say childhood sweethearts can’t compete with those who come into your life later. I think I’ve figured it out now. Just like some couples who have been together for many years without getting married, there must be some issue. If childhood sweethearts can’t be together after so many years, it’s probably because they’re not a good fit.”
The director: “…”
[Yin Moshu has gone rogue.]
[Hang Yuanting: Are you being polite?]
[Yin Moshu has gone too far. Isn’t he cursing Hang Yuanting and Ji Nan from getting married?]
[While saying Yin Moshu is going too far, isn’t Ji Nan also going too far?]
[OMG! That’s brutal! I love it!]
Gu Jinmian reacted slowly, then stood up and said to Ji Nan, “You guys are arguing, and you want us to be the Shura field? Go away, we’re not interested!”
[Is this the confidence of a wealthy family? There is no need to maintain false harmony, love freely.]
[Hahaha, please bring more of this kind of scene.]
The first two seasons were all about sweet and loving relationships, and when several couples appeared together, the atmosphere was friendly and harmonious. It was sweet, the ratings were high, but not explosive.
After Gu Jinmian and Yin Moshu appeared, the production team discussed urgently. Knowing their relationship, they decided on today’s occasion to add more topics to the sweetness.
But they didn’t expect it to be like this.
Many of the previous participants were celebrities or amateurs from other industries who had to maintain their image and did a good job on the surface.
These two wealthy young masters didn’t need to do any of that at all, and Yin Moshu was unexpectedly ruthless.
The effect was good, the audience liked to watch this kind of thing, gossiping about the wealthy families while watching the Shura field. It’s trending with the top five hashtags, but the directors had no experience in handling such scenes and were afraid they couldn’t control it. These two latest live broadcasts were the first to end.
“Director Cheng, I have a feeling that things will exceed our expectations in the future.”
“I also have a feeling it will be quite terrifying.”
“Of course, the hype will exceed imagination as well.”
Several directors surrounded Cheng Chong and said, unsure if it was good or bad.
Cheng Chong looked at the four of them and said excitedly, “No matter what, it will definitely be more explosive than before. We just need to be careful.”
The four people on the other side fell silent even after the live broadcast ended.
Hang Yuanting became angrier the more he thought about it and finally exploded when Gu Jinmian and Yin Moshu were about to leave. “Ji Nan, what are you even saying!”
Gu Jinmian and Yin Moshu’s footsteps paused, while the others wanted to listen but didn’t dare to, so they walked exceptionally slow.
Ji Nan’s expression also turned unpleasant. “Then, what about you? Getting married? Isn’t it enough for fans to pressure you for marriage on Weibo? Do I have to talk about it on the show too?”
Upon hearing this, the members of the production team quickly retreated.
Gu Jinmian and Yin Moshu also left.
Now, Gu Jinmian understood the subtleties of why Hang Yuanting’s fans were saying those things everywhere. It was like they were pushing Ji Nan to marry Hang Yuanting.
Gu Jinmian told Yin Moshu about this and said, “Hang Yuanting is Ji Nan’s white moonlight. How did it come to this?”
Yin Moshu replied, “It’s nothing strange. Ji Nan just had a change of heart.”
“Hmm,” Gu Jinmian sighed in a knowing manner. “Ah, men.”
Yin Moshu:” ….”
Gu Jinmian continued, “Hang Yuanting, too. He’s a man himself. Doesn’t he know that the more you push a man, the more frustrated and eager to escape he becomes?”
“Oh?” Yin Moshu said thoughtfully, “There’s only one point of truth to it.”
“Hm?”
“Do you want to try pushing me?”
“…….” Gu Jinmian thought for a moment and said, “Indeed, our family has been pushing you all along. What’s the difference between my second brother’s forced disclosure with Hang Yuanting’s forced marriage? You’re still very good, handling it much better than Ji Nan.”
Yin Moshu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“That’s not right,” Gu Jinmian said. “We’re fake.”
Yin Moshu: “……..”
His chin tightened and there was no smile on the corner of his mouth.
Gu Jinmian added, “But it’s not entirely accurate.”
Gu Jinmian, taking a careful look at him, immediately became well-behaved.
It was unknown what Yin Moshu was thinking, but his face had a heavy expression. Gu Jinmian glanced at him several times, hesitated for a moment, then turned his eyes and took a step closer to him.
He supported himself on Yin Moshu’s shoulder and tiptoed, gently kissing him near the corner of his eye.
When Yin Moshu snapped back to reality, Gu Jinmian was already close. Just as he caught a glimpse of Gu Jinmian’s clear eyes, a soft warmth landed at the corner of his eye, so light, like a feather brushing past, and then it was gone.
A nerve in that area tingled, and he suddenly turned to look at Gu Jinmian, his gaze like an arrow about to be released, locked onto Gu Jinmian.
“I’m sorry, I misspoke,” Gu Jinmian said.
He shouldn’t have said they were fake while the production team was still around. Even if the production team wasn’t nearby, they had already made their relationship public, so he shouldn’t casually make such remarks.
They were standing in a corner of the backstage makeup room. When there was no one doing makeup here, the overhead lights were turned off, leaving only the small light on the makeup mirror. Yin Moshu’s eyes appeared very deep and heavy behind the dimly lit door. His Adam’s apple moved slightly, and he asked in a very gentle voice, “Why did you kiss me as an apology?”
Gu Jinmian was momentarily confused. Yes, just apologize properly, why kiss him?
Before he could figure out the problem, Yin Moshu smiled and said, “Since that’s the case, then let me seek approval first.”
“Is kissing allowed on this show?”
This was a romance variety show featuring real couples. In the era of hazy, staged kisses in TV dramas, how could a show aimed at giving viewers sugar not have kissing scenes?
Gu Jinmian had only started catching up on past episodes after joining the show, and he had seen two or three episodes. By then, all the couples had already kissed.
Facing Yin Moshu’s focused gaze, Gu Jinmian swallowed nervously and said, “It’s allowed.”
Yin Moshu’s gaze shifted to his lips. “Where can I kiss you?”
Gu Jinmian felt his mouth go dry and licked his lips. Yin Moshu’s eyes deepened even further. Gu Jinmian hurriedly said, “Anywhere is fine.”
After all, where else could they kiss but on the face?
“Good,” Yin Moshu nodded, withdrew his gaze, and straightened his posture. “Let’s go.”
“Right!” Gu Jinmian felt a lot more relaxed and quickly followed him out of the room.
It was already past 1 PM, and they hadn’t eaten yet. Yin Moshu had to fly to another city for a movie promotion in the afternoon. Gu Jinmian decided to order food to their hotel room, and while waiting for it, he began packing his luggage.
After finishing their meal, Gu Jinmian wanted to accompany Yin Moshu to the airport but was refused.
“I have an assistant,” Yin Moshu said. “You rest well and don’t follow me around.”
However, when they got into the car, Gu Jinmian managed to squeeze in anyway.
Yin Moshu looked at the person sitting beside him who had a paralyzed face and said nothing. He just smiled and didn’t say anything.
Perhaps Gu Jinmian didn’t even realize it himself, but he slowly started to enjoy being close to Yin Moshu.
Before, he wanted to protect Yin Moshu like a little wolf cub, but now it was more like a cat that occasionally wanted to snuggle, yet he tried to hide it and not let it show.
He really wanted someone to pull him closer.
The car started moving, and traffic in S City was always congested regardless of the time, especially in the city center.
The assistant drove carefully in the front.
Gu Jinmian sat there, thinking about how to explain his decision to forcefully board the car. Suddenly, he felt Yin Moshu getting closer to him.
Gu Jinmian turned his head to look at him, and it conveniently allowed Yin Moshu’s hand to fall onto the back of his neck, pulling him forward.
Gu Jinmian opened his mouth slightly in surprise, and it conveniently allowed Yin Moshu to bite down on his lower lip.
Gu Jinmian stiffened all over, not knowing how to react at all.
Yin Moshu bit his lower lip lightly, and then he kissed his upper lip.
Gu Jinmian had typical “kitten lips,” with a clearly defined Cupid’s bow, naturally giving off a sense of innocence. Yin Moshu nibbled on his lower lip while only lightly grazing his upper lip.
Their breaths entwined, light touches, parting, then clinging together again.
The innocent assistant accidentally saw it and blushed, almost slamming on the brakes in embarrassment.
After Gu Jinmian was released, he remained completely stunned, not coming back to his senses.
Yin Moshu released him and looked away, sitting up straight and closing his eyes, not opening them for several tens of seconds.
It gave Gu Jinmian enough time to process what had just happened.
After what felt like an eternity, he looked at Yin Moshu, who opened his eyes, much clearer now. In a calm voice, Yin Moshu said, “Practice for what’s to come.”
“It’s practice for what’s to come,” Gu Jinmian’s voice was slightly hoarse. He opened the car window to get some air and whispered in a hushed yet candid tone, “It’s too difficult to withstand. My legs are practically jelly.”
Yin Moshu closed his eyes briefly and took a deep breath.
In the end, who exactly is difficult to withstand?
This time, Yin Moshu had to travel to five cities in a row for promotional activities and wouldn’t be back for a week.
Gu Jinmian stayed in S City for two days. On the third day, he went to the set of “Autumn River” to pick up Du Bai’an and prepare to sign their contracts.
Both Yin Moshu and Bai Xinyu were approaching the end of their limited-time idol group contracts, which meant their contracts with the company would also end. However, Du Bai’an’s situation was different; he had signed a five-year contract with his previous agency, which posed some complications.
Fortunately, Du Bai’an had been an unknown trainee with average talent at the time, so his penalty for breaching the contract wasn’t exorbitant.
Since they were planning to breach the contract anyway, Gu Jinmian thought it would be better to secure Du Bai’an’s talents for their team sooner rather than later. This way, he could allocate more resources to him.
Du Bai’an’s current agency was a small one, and when they heard that Gu Jinmian was interested in recruiting Du Bai’an, they didn’t dare to cause any trouble. They even offered to reduce the penalty by half.
Gu Jinmian didn’t agree, even though he was currently cash-strapped. The money he had invested had yet to return, and he had already spent half of the one billion yuan his family had given him. The remaining funds were tightly held, and he couldn’t even bring himself to hire a personal driver. He relied on his family for transportation every time.
However, he understood that certain expenses couldn’t be avoided.
Today, he had managed to save a few million from the company owner. Tomorrow, the owner might come to him or his brother asking for tens of millions.
Once the deal with the owner was settled, Gu Jinmian picked up Du Bai’an and signed the contract.
The director was also accommodating and gave them a day off. Signing the contract went extremely smoothly, leaving them with plenty of time.
Since a boss should not show too much favoritism, Gu Jinmian decided to take advantage of this opportunity and take Du Bai’an with him to visit the set of Bai Xinyu’s adjacent production.
When they arrived, Bai Xinyu was in the middle of shooting a kissing scene.
Gu Jinmian paused for a moment when he saw Bai Xinyu tilting the female lead’s chin and slowly getting closer. He stopped in his tracks, his emotions in turmoil, and watched intently.
The atmosphere was just right, and the emotions were intense.
Bai Xinyu lifted his eyes and saw Gu Jinmian in front of him, staring at him with a serious expression as he kissed a girl.
Bai Xinyu: “…”
The usually suave and domineering CEO suddenly jumped up, his face turning bright red, and he covered his face with both hands, letting out an embarrassed “Ah.”
Female lead: “???”
Lollll caught by stepmom
hahahahahahahjhahahahaaha he’s embarrassed hahahahhaha
This too funny.
