TRMP Chapter 102

Jiang Yifeng was preoccupied, and his mood wasn’t great while filming that evening.

However, after Guan Shaodong spoke to He Yang on his behalf, the director agreed to postpone his scenes. The director even encouraged Jiang Yifeng privately, saying, “We all know you act quickly, so adjust your emotions and try to finish two days’ worth of progress tomorrow.”

Jiang Yifeng smiled and responded to the director’s words.

He returned to the hotel and collapsed on the bed, pressing his cheek against his arm, his mind in a jumble.

Jiang Yifeng subconsciously wanted to talk to Xie Jingshen about it. He looked up and suddenly asked the system what Xie Jingshen was doing.

Since the intimacy level reached sixty, the system had broken through the barrier between the two worlds. After a brief scan, it told Jiang Yifeng, “Preparing for the new quarter’s work.”

After speaking, the system seemed to repeat Xie Jingshen’s words, changing its tone: “After November, there’s a high incidence of flu, the northern hemisphere’s main marketing expenses…”

Jiang Yifeng listened intently for a while, then lay on the bed, feeling aggrieved.

Since Xie Jingshen was busy, Jiang Yifeng simply pulled the blanket over his head, closed his eyes, and forced himself to calm down. He lay there and fell asleep, only to be awakened by a voice in his ear. He groggily opened his eyes.

“Xie Jingshen?” Jiang Yifeng looked at the person in front of him, his eyelashes fluttering.

His hand was being held in Xie Jingshen’s palm. He was sitting by the bed, quietly watching Jiang Yifeng. Seeing him look over, he asked with a smile, “What’s wrong?”

“Huh?” Jiang Yifeng paused for a moment, then suddenly pulled his hand out of Xie Jingshen’s palm.

Xie Jingshen was taken aback. His brow furrowed slightly, and he said softly, “It’s okay, the anchor point I built is ready. It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

“Really?” Jiang Yifeng looked at Xie Jingshen suspiciously. Taking advantage of his inattention, he suddenly pinched Xie Jingshen’s finger hard.

Xie Jingshen’s arm immediately tensed.

“You still say it doesn’t hurt.” Jiang Yifeng immediately let go. “There’s no way an anchor point can be completed in just a few days.”

“It’s been under construction all along, but it only recently succeeded. It really doesn’t hurt that much…” Xie Jingshen blinked.

Who would have thought his baby would be so alert?

However, after the playful fuss, Jiang Yifeng’s mood improved a lot.

He tugged at Xie Jingshen’s sleeve and quietly told Xie Jingshen what he had heard. After listening, Xie Jingshen looked up at Jiang Yifeng and asked, “But if you want to target them, it’ll be very dangerous.”

“It might be that kind of drug… reducing the dosage and adding other ingredients.” Xie Jingshen gave a drug name.

Jiang Yifeng quickly looked it up and only found a bunch of news reports stating that the drug had not yet been approved by the drug administration.

“Prescription drug, prescribed to specific groups of people, not addictive, so the price is very high.” Xie Jingshen smiled. “It’s rare to see it used.”

Jiang Yifeng’s eyelashes fluttered, and his tone was puzzled: “Why is it rare? Isn’t it said to be very effective?”

“Because it’s expensive.” Xie Jingshen tapped the bed sheet with the back of his index finger and slowly said, “The price is too high, and most people can’t afford it.”

“Baby, you can’t just go near them after hearing about it…” Xie Jingshen rubbed Jiang Yifeng’s cheek, the burning sensation of his palm not stopping Xie Jingshen’s actions: “Even if they take the drug, it’ll be metabolized quickly, and no one will admit it. They’ll target you instead.”

Jiang Yifeng’s eyelashes trembled, and even his little cowlick drooped.

Xie Jingshen flipped through his phone and called the system several times.

But the system prompted with a mechanical voice: [The system cannot provide any positive or negative assistance on matters unrelated to you and your lover.]

Jiang Yifeng nodded.

But he still felt a little uncomfortable.

Xie Jingshen rubbed his nose against Jiang Yifeng’s cheek, “Let’s hurry a little. If we can really meet someday, maybe I can help.”

“How can you help?”

“Money can make the devil turn the millstone, and… I guess if I can see you that day, the source of that drug might even come from me.”

After all, Xie Jingshen remembered that the patent for this drug was with their company. The price was set so high back then because the council wanted them to be responsible for the drug’s proliferation, so they had to increase the threshold.

So, as the supplier, it was normal to communicate with the local customs before customs clearance, right?

“How are you so amazing?” Jiang Yifeng didn’t dare to touch Xie Jingshen, so he grabbed a tissue and poked Xie Jingshen’s face through the tissue.

When he knew that he couldn’t rush it and he couldn’t change it, he temporarily put the matter behind him.

Xie Jingshen talked to Jiang Yifeng about the script.

Liu Cheng had been doing everything possible to suppress Xie Jingshen’s small company for the past few months. However, Xie Jingshen was still paying wages in an orderly manner. He just needed to invest the money on time and wait for the court to open.

However, Liu Cheng finally compromised. He said that the entertainment industry would never have a place for those few screenwriters again, but before the trial, he chose to reach an out-of-court settlement with them, compensating each person six thousand yuan and terminating the contract.

“The copyright of the script is also in hand, but I think Liu Cheng doesn’t seem willing to let go.” Xie Jingshen’s eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a bit of ferocity in his eyes.

Jiang Yifeng wasn’t surprised.

A stingy and domineering person like Liu Cheng would never let go easily. Maybe he would take advantage of the time before the script was sold and directly form a crew to film the script, cutting off the script’s future.

“Remember to register the copyright first…”

Jiang Yifeng’s eyes curved, not worrying about the follow-up at all.

“Is the system calculating intimacy points for us again?”

Jiang Yifeng leaned on Xie Jingshen’s shoulder. The clothes prevented the burning sensation, but the sudden increase in heat on his shoulder made Xie Jingshen’s shoulder go numb.

He licked his lips, a hint of a smile in his eyes, and placed his phone closer, forcing Jiang Yifeng to lean over to see more clearly.

His breath seemed to be spraying on his neck, and his voice was very close: “It’s at ninety-three points. What will happen if it reaches one hundred?”

“I don’t know, let’s try.” Xie Jingshen’s tone was a bit sticky and muddled. He kissed the top of Jiang Yifeng’s head and was dodged by Jiang Yifeng. Seeing the little person looking at him with disapproval, Xie Jingshen always felt his fingertips itching.

He raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose, then slowly said, suppressing his tone, “Maybe after that day, I can freely hug you.”

Jiang Yifeng’s eyes were full of smiles, he rested his chin on Xie Jingshen’s arm and nodded, his eyes focused and serious.

Neither of them dared to kiss, so they could only huddle together on the bed.

Jiang Yifeng’s mood had completely calmed down. He groped and turned off the light, grabbed Xie Jingshen’s sleeve, and closed his eyes.

When he woke up the next day, he was fully recovered.

Guan Shaodong saw that he didn’t mention the events from that day, so he didn’t ask any further.

The box office of “The Chase” climbed to 2.1 billion.

And Jiang Yifeng, as a small villain in the play, became the most popular character in the entire film, and he was invited to participate in the online live broadcast of “The Chase.”

The host actively created a lively atmosphere and praised Jiang Yifeng quite a bit.

The questions asked were all predetermined, and the atmosphere of the entire event was very relaxed and harmonious. When the host casually asked Jiang Yifeng, “Many people on the internet like Teacher Jiang very much and want to know what type of person Teacher Jiang likes…”

“Oh, I have someone.” Jiang Yifeng’s eyes curved, smiling like a small crescent moon.

The host paused.

The barrage that had been filling the screen actually stopped for a moment, and then crazily filled the live broadcast room – the entire screen was filled with question marks.

“It seems like you have a good relationship.” The host slowly said.

“Yeah, we’ve been dating for more than half a year.” Jiang Yifeng’s eyes were bright, holding his hands and smiling happily.

He didn’t directly mention the matter of his boyfriend, after all, for most people, having a same-sex boyfriend was a bit shocking.

He only said lover, and the people present all looked unnatural.

“I thought you were single.” The host continued. “I didn’t expect you to be in a relationship so early.”

“I don’t feel the need to show off my relationship, but I also don’t want to hide it from everyone.” Jiang Yifeng said calmly.

However, the barrage was almost crazy.

Among Jiang Yifeng’s fans, some pure drama fans felt that Jiang Yifeng was open and honest, but most people couldn’t accept Jiang Yifeng being in a relationship.

“No, baby is so young, what if he’s being deceived by a bad person?”

“Ahhh, I was happily shipping CPs, why are you in a relationship?”

“Dating during a career upswing, I’m speechless, can’t you have some ambition? I hope you break up soon.”

“Isn’t it normal to be in a relationship at twenty-five or twenty-six years old? Being deceived by a bad person at twenty-five is treating idols like idiots?”

“Dating? Male or female?”

“Being able to admit to dating in public, the partner must be female. Scammer, dead scammer.”

All kinds of comments were flooding the barrage, but the person in question was smiling and participating in the celebration live broadcast, and didn’t respond again until the broadcast ended.

That night, Jiang Yifeng’s relationship was a trending topic. There were people cursing in the trending topic, and there were people unfollowing and backstabbing, there were passersby watching the fun, and there were also people who said they wouldn’t unfollow and liked his straightforwardness.

Jiang Yifeng’s homepage had many people asking him for an explanation, and there were also people hoping he would break up soon.

Some people even went to the official comment section of Ocean Media to ask them to urge their artists to break up and not date so early.

Ocean Media quietly pretended to be dead.

Their contract with Jiang Yifeng had now transferred even the autonomy of connecting to dramas to Jiang Yifeng. Not to mention dating, even if Jiang Yifeng claimed to be a fetishist who liked a spotted puppy, the company had no right to question it. At most, they would issue an announcement and terminate the contract with Jiang Yifeng.

Before turning off the lights, Jiang Yifeng paid attention to the comments online.

He thought about it and felt that it wouldn’t work.

Even if Xie Jingshen didn’t exist in this world, he didn’t want to see overwhelming curses and misunderstandings in the comment section.

Jiang Yifeng hesitated, holding his phone, and then slowly typed a few words.

[Thank you to someone for always standing by my side in my most difficult times, I love my love~]

He added a handwritten small card, with a small heart drawn on the card.

After posting the blog post, Jiang Yifeng no longer paid attention.

He still had to film for a day tomorrow, and he didn’t have time to put all his energy into this kind of thing.

However, when he arrived at the set, Jiang Yifeng could still sense a slight strangeness.

Many people were secretly glancing at him, and after filming two scenes with Qi Leya, Qi Leya asked during the time before changing scenes, “Did you really admit to having a boyfriend in front of reporters?”

Jiang Yifeng: “…”

Jiang Yifeng glanced at Qi Leya and said seriously, “I’ve only admitted to having someone for the time being.”

“It’s all the same, anyway, you have to be careful.”
