Rong Yuheng’s pupils practically shook—how audacious Wen Zhecheng was!
Wen Zhecheng, after finishing, turned around to boast, “How about it, do you like it?”
Rong Yuheng’s lips stammered for a moment, “Like… it.”
How could he not like it? If he didn’t, Wen Zhecheng might start talking about things like “baby’s full moon celebration.”
Wen Zhecheng’s gaze softened, affection filling his eyes, “As long as you like it.”
“…”
Netizens were already accustomed to these two deliberately crafted alternate accounts. It might be a bit out of character (ooc)… but it’s so thrilling! Especially with the two characters in the nicknames having an affair vibe.
Hey! These two language sisters are really something, so stimulating!
It seemed that the antics of these two alternate accounts in the comments had attracted attention, even from the paparazzi. One of them even interacted, replying to Wen Zhecheng’s “marriage” comment:
“You better do as you say~”
Netizens instantly burst into laughter:
“Hahaha, this is priceless! You better do as you say~”

“Photographer~ I dare you to talk to the main characters like this [Rong Goose Stare] @STAR—T Rong Yuheng v”
…
“Oh my god!” Rong Yuheng almost jumped off the sofa. “They mentioned my main account! And yours too!”
“…” Wen Zhecheng.
These silly netizens probably had no idea that the main accounts of these two protagonists were currently in the hands of their managers!

Rong Yuheng began to fidget in Wen Zhecheng’s arms, like a restless little piglet, “Look, look, look… they’re so shameless!”
Wen Zhecheng held him down, gently soothing and teasing, “Don’t be anxious, zaizai~”
“Our surfboard is about to be confiscated, sniff…”
“No, it won’t,” Wen Zhecheng lifted his chin, a confident glow radiating from his handsome brows. “It’s time to show our true acting skills!”
In the past few days, Rong Yuheng hadn’t met with Shi Qiu. The latter hadn’t brought up the matter of the alternate accounts yet, and Rong Yuheng didn’t know if he took it seriously or planned to inquire about it after meeting. He wasn’t in a hurry. Instead, he turned his attention to fulfilling his promise and helping his adopted son, Chi Tang, with his plans.
Ever since Chi Tang found out he appeared on “Guests from a distance place” and had close contact with Ju Ziyi, he was on the verge of flying over in excitement.
Rong Yuheng had been busy dealing with JonLi, but now that he had some free time, he began to fulfill his duties as a father.
【Rong Yuheng】: Do you know that Ju Ziyi likes desserts?
【Chi Tang】: Of course, I know. I’ve given her a lot of desserts! [Sea otter disdain]

【Rong Yuheng】: You fool, continuously giving her things won’t bring you closer. It might increase her psychological burden. You need to find a way to get close to her life, gradually creating your own exclusive memories~
This approach was summarized by Rong Yuheng from Wen Zhecheng. Now he treated it as a family heirloom, passing it down from generation to generation.
【Chi Tang】: I want to ask her out for a ride, but she refused! [Crying]

【Rong Yuheng】: Clumsy! You should invite her to do something she likes—like Ju Ziyi enjoys making desserts. Did you know that?
【Chi Tang】: [Shocked???]
Rong Yuheng was speechless; his silly son really didn’t know. It seemed that Ju Zuyi hadn’t opened up to Chi Tang.
【Rong Yuheng】: Ju Zuyi likes making desserts or watching others make them. I’ve set up a “Dessert Expert” persona for you. If you’re serious, start learning.
【Chi Tang】: Dessert expert??? Thank you [paternal slap of love]
【Rong Yuheng】: Looks like you’re not serious. In that case, don’t pursue her. [Sea otter indifferent]
【Chi Tang】: … I’ll learn!
After encouraging Chi Tang to make desserts, Rong Yuheng once again utilized his extraordinary creativity and suggested that Chi Tang open a few more cake chain stores as a long-term and sustainable dating venue.
“Isn’t your family in the business of fruit juice and lactobacillus beverages? Develop a cake brand under this series, and it might unexpectedly open up the market.”
“Damn, my son is really smart! If it works out, I’ll share the equity with you!”
“Let’s talk about it after it succeeds. I appreciate your filial piety.”
Business matters were ultimately the concerns of others. After Rong Yuheng’s suggestion, it was up to Chi’s company to conduct market research and evaluation before deciding whether to open a cake chain.

Chi Tang’s family was in the lactobacillus beverage business, and the equity was in his father’s hands. If they were to open a cake chain, it would likely be managed by Chi Tang himself.
Rong Yuheng secretly noted in his little book: When the time comes, bring him into the shares and expand the “Rong Xing” plan together with Qiu Jianlun!
…
STAR—T boy group had been on tour for almost half a month. During this period, Rong Yuheng and Wen Zhecheng’s alternate accounts continued to stir up trouble on Weibo.
The fan bases of both accounts had reached six to seven thousand, making them somewhat famous in the “Ze Cheng Yi Yu” CP (couple) circle. Some CP fans even listed the top three producers of CP content in the circle—Wen Circle’s “Non-Accusation,” Hui Circle’s “Yao Tai,” and Language C Circle’s “Alternate Account Group.”
However, what puzzled them was that these three major content producers were only responsible for creating content and surprisingly didn’t pay attention to the “Ze Cheng Yi Yu” super topic!
This discovery, once brought up, immediately became the biggest unsolved mystery in the “Ze Cheng Yi Yu” CP circle!
The mastermind behind it all, Rong Yuheng, quietly withdrew from Weibo, murmuring to himself, “Guilty as charged”…
The TV series “Plain Robes” had recently concluded. The character “Juyan” played by He Zuo made a comeback in the plot, forming a strong contrast between the decline of the Lin Tian Gang and the rise of Huai Qing. Audiences couldn’t help but exclaim, “Such a refreshing ending!”
Director Qian Xinlei arranged an interview on the day of the grand finale. Several main actors, along with the director, screenwriter, and producer, were scheduled to participate.
The interview happened to be in Q City, just a fifteen-minute walk from the headquarters of the Rong Corporation.
Before departing, Shi Qiu drove to pick up people to go to the airport. “After the interview, do you want to go back to your company?”
“No need, there’s nothing else.”
Rong Yuheng couldn’t forget the day when all his enthusiasm turned into a lonely and desolate mood.
“It’s rare to go home once, and it’s so close. If you don’t have any feelings now, when your parents are old, and you’re busier with your career, you won’t have a chance to go back.”
Rong Yuheng lowered his head and picked at his fingers. “Alright…”
At the airport, Wen Zhecheng was already waiting in the VIP lounge. Rong Yuheng, like a cheerful butterfly, fluttered a few times along the path toward Wen Zhecheng, only to be caught in a net by Shi Qiu.
“Watch your words and actions.”
The two main pets simultaneously showed an unmistakable sense of loss.
The four of them gathered again, and Shi Qiu and Qu Youhe exchanged a glance, initiating the interrogation mode.

“Do you guys have anything to confess?”
Wen Zhecheng slightly frowned, as if seriously considering, “What’s there to confess?”
Seeing that Wen Zhecheng’s guard was as solid as a fortress, Shi Qiu turned sharp eyes to Rong Yuheng, “What about you? Have you done anything behind my back?”
Rong Yuheng panicked and hugged himself, “How did you know I sneaked out last night to eat cake!?”
“Who cares about such things!!!”
“What’s that?”
Qu Youhe swept his eyes over the two people in front of him, unwilling to let go of any trace of clues on their faces.
“Have you guys checked Weibo recently?”
Rong Yuheng was indignant, “Why mention those sad things!”
Wen Zhecheng said lightly, “I haven’t checked.”
“Really?” Qu Youhe suspiciously brought out Weibo and handed it to the two, “Aren’t these two yours?”
Rong Yuheng glanced for a second, and it was indeed “@Rong Yuheng’s Small Account” and “@Wen Zhecheng’s Small Account.”
Rong Yuheng choked for a second, then sincerely said, “We’re not idiots… creating such alternate accounts.”
Wen Zhecheng, on the side, burst into acting, “There’s such an account? Let me check what they posted.”
The reactions of the two were too realistic. Shi Qiu and Qu Youhe exchanged a doubtful look—could it be that they really didn’t know?
Well, if they were really creating alternate accounts, they would definitely keep it a secret. These two accounts seemed more like the actions of CP fans producing sugar on their own.
For now, they chose to believe.
“Never mind, it’s not your concern. But I must warn you, don’t learn such shameless tactics, it’s too blatant.”
Upon hearing this, Rong Yuheng and Wen Zhecheng immediately cooperatively expressed a regretful expression…
Upon arriving at the interview scene in Q City, Qian Xinlei and Xun Guang had already arrived.
Whether it was due to the weather warming up or wearing thinner clothes, Rong Yuheng felt that Xun Guang, this meatball, seemed to have shrunk, about one size smaller than before.
“Xun Guang, why do you seem even smaller?”
“Long time no see, Rong Goose, Teacher Wen.” Xun Guang slouched on the bench, greeted the two with a weary look, “I’ve been rushing drafts lately, fifteen thousand words a day. I’m just a little short of becoming an immortal.”
“What’s a little short?”
“I’m not immortal enough.”
“…”
After a brief moment of self-mockery, the two slumped down together. While Wen Zhecheng caught up with Qian Xinlei, Rong Yuheng chatted with Xun Guang.
“Why are you in such a rush with your drafts?”
“The game is too fun, damn it.”
Rong Yuheng, recently accustomed to educating Wen Zhecheng, almost blurted out, “Take care of yourself.”
His lips moved, and he swallowed the words back, reorganizing his language, “How many words do you have left, and how long until you finish?”
“About 120,000 words, within half a month.”

Rong Yuheng roughly calculated and was suddenly shaken… Isn’t that ten thousand words a day?
He didn’t understand and asked, “Can’t you postpone it a bit? Do you have time to eat like this?”
“A few months ago, I signed a copyright contract. I’ll have to pay a penalty for breach of contract.” Xun Guang looked melancholic, “I shouldn’t have signed… sacrificing my happy time for such a small amount of money.”
Rong Yuheng took the opportunity to extend an olive branch, “How about finding a new partner next time? As I mentioned to you before, there’s a big boss willing to buy all your copyrights and won’t mess with your work. Have you considered it?”
“Who is it?”
“Someone you know.” Rong Yuheng said, “A silly and overbearing president.”
Xun Guang thought for a moment, “Is it Qiu Jianlun or your brother?”
“…”
He forgave Wen Zhecheng.
—
The main actors invited for the interview also included Lin Yeqing and He Zuo. After they arrived, they greeted the members of the Plain Robes crew, and when Lin Yeqing saw Rong Yuheng, he immediately excitedly pulled him aside, showing him Weibo.
“Take a look, these two bloggers are so funny! Hahaha, cosplaying you and Teacher Wen being lovey-dovey on Weibo. I secretly followed with my alternate account, it’s like a daily fountain of joy!”
Rong Yuheng looked at his and Wen Zhecheng’s alternate accounts on Lin Yeqing’s Weibo, forced a smile, and said, “Interesting.”
Lin Yeqing said, “Right? Hahaha, they’re geniuses!”
Rong Yuheng, “Sure…”
When the interview officially started, a row of people took their seats, and the media below began asking questions, starting with the director.
“Director Qian, are you satisfied with this TV series? The current online rating is 4.8 points. Does it meet or exceed your expectations?”
Qian Xinlei said, “It has exceeded my expectations. Honestly, the original work of ‘Plain Robes’ is already excellent. When I signed the copyright, I foresaw that the TV series would be very successful. Of course, thanks to our excellent actors, without them, the series would not have achieved the high rating of 4.8 points.”
“Teacher Xun Guang, this drama has been controversial since the beginning, and there were even rumors of major changes. What do you think? Will your future scripts undergo major changes?”
Xun Guang said, “Since it’s known to be a rumor, why ask? No changes.”
“…” Damn, so cold and aloof!!
After the questions about the plot and shooting were done, the topic turned back to gossip.
“We all know that ‘Plain Robes’ has spawned many CPs. What do the main actors think of their own CPs?”
As soon as this question came out, the entire crew fell silent for a second.
There was some restlessness among the media colleagues, and they excitedly picked up their recording pens to take notes.
He Zuo felt a bit embarrassed because he knew that “Ze Cheng Yi Yu” was the real thing, and the people involved were sitting right next to him. Plus, he had lost in the previous battle with Wen Zhecheng, and he really had no face to brag about “He Tianyu” again.
He Zuo remained silent, and Rong Yuheng glanced at Wen Zhecheng.
Wen Zhecheng, without saying a word, looked at the media asking questions, his gaze indifferent. The questioner felt a chill in their heart.
Could it be… the Movie Emperor is angry?
After a few seconds, just when the questioner was about to change the question to smooth things over, Wen Zhecheng suddenly spoke.
“It’s quite interesting; nowadays, creators are all very talented.”
This statement caused a stir—wow, wow, wow! Wait a minute, judging by what he said, does it mean the Movie Emperor also reads fanfiction?

“Wen Teacher, may I ask if you also read fanfiction! Is it fanfiction for ‘Ze Cheng Yi Yu’?”
Wen Zhecheng replied, “Otherwise, do I have other fanfiction to read?”
Rong Yuheng couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
The media immediately turned the microphone towards Rong Yuheng, “Rong Rong, Teacher Wen is reading your fanfiction. Have you read it?”
“I have read it; he sent it to me to read.” Rong Yuheng said, then turned to Wen Zhecheng, “Don’t share so much with me next time. Aren’t you, as a Movie Emperor, busy with work?”
“Hahaha!” Laughter erupted in the room instantly.
One main actor complaining about another main actor’s excessive indulgence in their fan-created couple—what kind of operation was this? It was simply too harmonious!
The interaction of “Ze Cheng Yi Yu” became the biggest highlight of this interview. The media below immediately seized this topic and continued with the interview.
After the finale of “Plain Robes,” relying on the topics generated by the fan-created couples to drive subsequent interest was what Qian Xinlei hoped for. He didn’t stop it. Instead, he stood by, amused.
The media asked, “Teacher Wen, where do you usually read fanfiction, on fanfiction sites or on Weibo?”
Wen Zhecheng was succinct, “I haven’t intentionally looked for it. I follow the topics related to ‘Plain Robes,’ and highly-rated works are pushed to my homepage, so I see them.”
“How do you feel?”
“It’s good, it shows that ‘Plain Robes’ is popular, and Director Qian and other staff didn’t work in vain.”
“Is there nothing else?”
Wen Zhecheng didn’t speak, but he seemed quite easy-going, not showing any signs of displeasure.
The media, with more courage, turned to Rong Yuheng, “Rong Rong, do you usually read fanfiction that Teacher Wen recommends to you?”
“Not only that.”
The media suddenly became excited. Could it be that he’s a forager who finds his own food?!
Rong Yuheng continued, “Five minutes before the interview started, Lin Yeqing also recommended some to me.”
At this point, he casually promoted his little alternate account, “There’s a ‘small account’ on Weibo with me and Teacher Wen, quite interesting. This also counts as a form of fanfiction, right?”
“Of course!” The media continued, “Fanfiction comes in various forms. What do you feel after reading it?”
Rong Yuheng, leaning an arm on the long table, lazily leaned back in his chair, looking at the media without saying a word.
His lips naturally curled upward, exuding a gentle and smiling atmosphere.
At this moment, the overhead light shone down, reflecting in his beautiful peach blossom eyes. Under the gaze of dozens of media outlets, Rong Yuheng turned sideways, facing Wen Zhecheng, and raised an ambiguous, almost teasing, gaze.
It was an unspoken agreement to flirt with each other.
Wen Zhecheng’s heart skipped a beat. Then, Rong Yuheng, with a slightly playful tone, said,
“I dare not have any feelings. I’m afraid Teacher Wen will take it seriously.”
Author’s note: Rong Yuheng: Afraid you’ll take it seriously.
Media: !!! Teacher Wen, please respond!
Wen Zhecheng: … Zaizai is digging another pit for me
Rong Yuheng’s pupils practically shook—how audacious Wen Zhecheng was!
Wen Zhecheng, after finishing, turned around to boast, “How about it, do you like it?”
Rong Yuheng’s lips stammered for a moment, “Like… it.”
How could he not like it? If he didn’t, Wen Zhecheng might start talking about things like “baby’s full moon celebration.”
Wen Zhecheng’s gaze softened, affection filling his eyes, “As long as you like it.”
“…”
Netizens were already accustomed to these two deliberately crafted alternate accounts. It might be a bit out of character (ooc)… but it’s so thrilling! Especially with the two characters in the nicknames having an affair vibe.
Hey! These two language sisters are really something, so stimulating!
It seemed that the antics of these two alternate accounts in the comments had attracted attention, even from the paparazzi. One of them even interacted, replying to Wen Zhecheng’s “marriage” comment:

After the finale of “Plain Robes,” relying on the topics generated by the fan-created couples to drive subsequent interest was what Qian Xinlei hoped for. He didn’t stop it. Instead, he stood by, amused.
The media asked, “Teacher Wen, where do you usually read fanfiction, on fanfiction sites or on Weibo?”
Wen Zhecheng was succinct, “I haven’t intentionally looked for it. I follow the topics related to ‘Plain Robes,’ and highly-rated works are pushed to my homepage, so I see them.”
“How do you feel?”
“It’s good, it shows that ‘Plain Robes’ is popular, and Director Qian and other staff didn’t work in vain.”
“Is there nothing else?”
Wen Zhecheng didn’t speak, but he seemed quite easy-going, not showing any signs of displeasure.
The media, with more courage, turned to Rong Yuheng, “Rong Rong, do you usually read fanfiction that Teacher Wen recommends to you?”
“Not only that.”
The media suddenly became excited. Could it be that he’s a forager who finds his own food?!
Rong Yuheng continued, “Five minutes before the interview started, Lin Yeqing also recommended some to me.”
At this point, he casually promoted his little alternate account, “There’s a ‘small account’ on Weibo with me and Teacher Wen, quite interesting. This also counts as a form of fanfiction, right?”
“Of course!” The media continued, “Fanfiction comes in various forms. What do you feel after reading it?”
Rong Yuheng, leaning an arm on the long table, lazily leaned back in his chair, looking at the media without saying a word.
His lips naturally curled upward, exuding a gentle and smiling atmosphere.
At this moment, the overhead light shone down, reflecting in his beautiful peach blossom eyes. Under the gaze of dozens of media outlets, Rong Yuheng turned sideways, facing Wen Zhecheng, and raised an ambiguous, almost teasing, gaze.
It was an unspoken agreement to flirt with each other.
Wen Zhecheng’s heart skipped a beat. Then, Rong Yuheng, with a slightly playful tone, said,
“I dare not have any feelings. I’m afraid Teacher Wen will take it seriously.”
Author’s note: Rong Yuheng: Afraid you’ll take it seriously.
Media: !!! Teacher Wen, please respond!
Wen Zhecheng: … Zaizai is digging another pit for me
