TRMP Chapter 39

Jiang Yifeng very firmly emphasized his identity as a male.

——When Xie De called him “Sister-in-law,” his goosebumps rose.

Jiang Yifeng rubbed his arms vigorously with his hands, then burrowed back into the quilt, using the thick quilt to weigh down his Up toes. He waggled them as he whispered small talk with Xie Jingshen.

As he was chatting, his phone rang.

Jiang Yifeng answered the phone, and heard Luo Qi’s gloating voice on the other end: “That Chen Ruiyang has really suffered a big loss this time; it’s practically a wedding dress for us.”

“What?” Jiang Yifeng asked, holding the phone in confusion, “What happened?”

“You’re the global ambassador for the Mí series, and he’s the domestic ambassador for the Liè series, but your promotional ads were released on the same day.” Luo Qi paused before saying this, and then suddenly asked, “Haven’t you seen it yet?”

“I was just… chatting with my online boyfriend.” As he said this, Jiang Yifeng couldn’t help but curl his toes. When he looked up, he saw Xie Jingshen raising an eyebrow at him.

Jiang Yifeng: “…”

Luo Qi, hearing Jiang Yifeng mention his online boyfriend, couldn’t help but get nervous: “Didn’t I tell you? You’re so pretty; it’s easy to get scammed out of money and ‘color’ by little boys online. And what if they photoshopped their pictures? What if their real appearance is ugly? Don’t settle down so early. You have to test the other person properly, like making them transfer five hundred and twenty yuan to you first to test their sincerity.”

Xie Jingshen could vaguely hear the voice on the other end of the phone.

An option popped up on his phone.

[Are you willing to transfer 520 yuan to your lover to prove your sincerity?]

Very scam-like.

Xie Jingshen silently tapped the “Confirm” option, and Jiang Yifeng’s phone dinged.

“Transfer… Five hundred and twenty yuan.”

The loud sound even drowned out the phone’s own audio.

Luo Qi: “…”

Luo Qi realized something was wrong.

“Are you living together?”

“No,” Jiang Yifeng quickly replied this time.

“Phew, listen up, we now have a great opportunity to become famous, Jiang Yifeng.” Luo Qi instructed. “Don’t get caught dating; online dating is fine, a connection on the phone is all you need.”

“My contract doesn’t have that clause…”

“Is dating now the same as dating back then? Could we have foreseen the current situation five years ago? Five years ago, if you dated ten people, the media would have praised you as a playboy with a knack for it!” Luo Qi was so anxious he wanted to tear his hair out. “This is a rare opportunity to become famous; you absolutely have to seize it.”

“Can’t five hundred and twenty yuan prove that he’s serious about me?” Jiang Yifeng’s eyes filled with water. He looked at the phone screen and then at Xie Jingshen, feeling like Luo Qi was a meddling matchmaker trying to separate the happy couple.

Luo Qi knew Jiang Yifeng loved money.

But he didn’t expect him to be so hungry that he was blinded by five hundred and twenty yuan.

“Five hundred and twenty yuan! It’s not like he gave you five million two hundred thousand!” Luo Qi immediately turned hostile.

“But if I wanted five million two hundred thousand, then who would be the one scamming money and ‘color’?” Jiang Yifeng couldn’t help but mutter, “Brother Luo, don’t talk about my dating life; tell me what happened to Chen Ruiyang.”

Jiang Yifeng was eager to change the subject.

Luo Qi finally got back to the main point.

Chen Ruiyang’s side seemed to have done some serious mental preparation and ultimately decided to use his company’s resources to help promote the new product. However, they didn’t expect that the official promotional videos would all direct traffic to the official website instead of the official Weibo account—the original link at the bottom of the Weibo post caused everyone who clicked to watch the promotional video to go directly to the official website to choose products. However, the biggest promotional video on the official website’s homepage wasn’t about Chen Ruiyang; it was about Jiang Yifeng.

So, while Chen Ruiyang’s team was frantically promoting Chen Ruiyang as the first national ambassador for the globally renowned niche brand Lio, every passerby and fan attracted by the promotion would click the link and see Jiang Yifeng.

And Chen Ruiyang couldn’t even use hired online commentators to stop this trend.

His efforts not only promoted his perfume ambassadorship but also helped Jiang Yifeng push the fact that he was Lio’s global ambassador for the series to the top of the trending searches.

And Jiang Yifeng’s promotional video went viral in almost just one day.

Luo Qi excitedly described how popular Jiang Yifeng’s promotional video was and how many positive reviews it had. Jiang Yifeng, remembering how he was naked when he filmed the promotional video that day, just felt a little embarrassed.

“So many people have seen it?”

“You weren’t naked,” Luo Qi rolled his eyes. “Besides, you had body paint all over you, and they put on such a thick layer of foundation.”

Jiang Yifeng was still a little embarrassed.

Xie Jingshen was still watching.

It made him feel a little embarrassed like he was failing at being a good man.

Xie Jingshen was also silent.

Jiang Yifeng watched the white circle disappear, and thought that Xie Jingshen was jealous again.

He pursed his lips and said to Luo Qi a little aggrievedly, “My boyfriend seems to be jealous.”

“…You still say you’re not living together?”

Jiang Yifeng could only explain to Luo Qi again, feeling wronged.

Meanwhile, Xie Jingshen was looking at the promotional video under [Low Health Mode] that he had just purchased in the system’s backpack.

He quietly opened the promotional video, like he was secretly watching a movie, and prepared himself mentally.

It was a first-person perspective video; someone was looking at a robot in the glass.

The robot, beautiful to the point of being almost inorganic and pale, was immersed in liquid.

In the rolling, surging bubbles, his abs and thin chest muscles were faintly visible, and the waist was slender, a curve that could be held in the palm of a hand.

He slowly opened his eyes; those eyes were clean and cold, but without any emotion.

Next to it was a song, constantly softly singing the Italian words “he doesn’t understand,” the tone sad and light.

He took the robot away.

He constantly confessed to the robot, constantly grabbed the robot’s hand, hooked the robot’s chin; he hugged the robot but didn’t get any emotional response. Those eyes were always cold, and even though he was saying loving words, his eyes were still emotionless and indifferent.

The song’s “he doesn’t understand” had murmured to the point of swaying precariously.

The robot in the shot was so beautiful and sexy, but without emotion.

He tried his best.

Just as he was about to give up, he accidentally broke the perfume bottle.

The robot and he crouched down together to pick up the glass; the robot first touched the perfume scattered on the ground.

The broken glass bottle had the name “Mí” written on it, the gorgeous colors like a psychedelic drug.

The next second, that cold robot hand, stained with perfume, grasped his hand.

The camera and gaze slowly moved upward, and suddenly crashed into his eyes.

Those eyes suddenly burst with endless emotion, the beautiful face became vivid, the lips also became rosy, a pair of eyes sparkling with love.

The female voice in the background softly said—”now, he understands.”

The scene changed, and you could vaguely see the two embracing.

And the Mí series perfumes were displayed one by one.

Just a few minutes, even shorter than half a song.

Xie Jingshen could feel an almost psychedelic intoxication.

He had never thought that Jiang Yifeng would tell others about having a “boyfriend.”

Jiang Yifeng was different from him; Jiang Yifeng was a small star, and the constraints of the world always had different impacts on stars and wealthy families.

Jiang Yifeng always worked hard at living. He acted well, worked hard, and would seize opportunities when he encountered them.

However, for a star, admitting to “having a boyfriend” had a very different meaning than Xie Jingshen’s arrogant display of his little boyfriend after exclusively taking control of the family’s finances.

He knew what Jiang Yifeng had to face, so his heart softened into a puddle of water.

“Jiang Yifeng.”

Xie Jingshen whispered Jiang Yifeng’s name.

The name of that cute little person was repeatedly savored on his tongue, and he quietly looked at his phone, watching the robot’s gaze change from cold to fiery in the advertisement over and over again, burning his heart.

This advertisement was extremely cute and sexy.

However, it wasn’t exclusively his.

Xie Jingshen took out that little doll; the ugly little doll was placed in various shapes in his palm, and the two bean eyes of different sizes stared blankly at Xie Jingshen.

The doll’s feet were still stained with red blood, but it was like a butterfly dancing on his leg.

The advertisement wasn’t exclusively his, but his liking was.

And in the phone’s camera, the little doll opened its eyes again from the cold water, with cold blue and gold painted patterns adorning its body, covering all the key positions, but it was still unable to hide the sexiness and gorgeousness.

Such a person’s eyes revealed a mesmerizing, decadent obsession.

It was simply maddening.

The people who saw the advertisement online thought the same thing.

Chen Ruiyang’s fashion blockbuster was completely reduced to a tool to set off Jiang Yifeng. The perfume advertisement, which was originally only broadcasted overseas, was spread everywhere.

Even though Chen Ruiyang controlled most of the entertainment industry marketing accounts, there were always rivals who would leak some of their resources, preferring to promote Jiang Yifeng in order to openly step on Chen Ruiyang.

——Chen Ruiyang’s rivals had already been angered by Chen Ruiyang’s CP promotion and resource snatching, so seeing him embarrassed, they naturally wanted to help fuel the fire.

So Jiang Yifeng relied on a day’s worth of positive appearance trending searches to create a good impression.

“I’m going crazy, how can he be so good-looking?”

“When he looked at me, my heart fluttered! I’m done for, I’m really done for!”

“That perfume gave me the urge to buy it at first glance. Does buying the perfume come with a robot? This is very important!”

“I finally know why they all say he’s being a diva and hyping himself up. With such a face, even if he acts up, the sugar daddy would love him to death, wouldn’t they have to make him a pampered darling?”

“I see everyone calling him husband. I’ll secretly call him wife once; no one should notice, right?”

“What sugar daddy? Chen Ruiyang is his biggest sugar daddy! Our CP is endorsing the same perfume; the CP is going to rise!”

Chen Ruiyang scrolled through the trending topics in a self-abusive manner. When he saw this comment, he subconsciously clicked on it and blacklisted the CP fan.

The next second, Chen Ruiyang’s finger trembled, and he immediately released the person, logged out of the account, and logged in again with a smaller account.

However, it was too late. His logging in and blacklisting actions had been firmly recorded by the account.

——And Chen Ruiyang’s fans immediately noticed his online activity.

That blacklisting action, the blacklisted person’s homepage, clearly told everyone that Chen Ruiyang was rejecting the CP.

The fans immediately exploded.

Originally, everyone said that Jiang Yifeng was hyping himself up, but unfortunately, their own idol was cooperating by mentioning people on various shows and live broadcasts, causing many solo fans to be lost.

But now Chen Ruiyang was Lio’s first domestic ambassador, while Jiang Yifeng had become the series’ global ambassador. He was openly suppressed, even the official endorsement announcement was suppressed by Jiang Yifeng. How could the fans endure this?

Tear! Must tear!

The author has something to say:

President Xie: The advertisement is released globally! It’s killing me!

President Xie: This is my wife! You are not allowed to see it!
