Lin Qing was drugged at the celebration banquet.

Burning with fever and barely conscious, he stumbled into Zhou Shaowen's room.

He clutched Zhou's sleeve. "Help... help me..."

The next morning, Lin Qing slipped away without a word.

-

That same day, Zhou Shaowen showed up on set and demanded to speak privately with Lin Qing. No one on the crew dared say a word.

Lin Qing's expression was icy as he faced Zhou Shaowen. He had wanted Zhou to help him deal with the person who drugged him, not to take their place himself.

Zhou Shaowen: "You don't seem to like me very much?"

Lin Qing: First impressions matter.

His agent nearly fainted. How could he say that out loud?!!!

Zhou Shaowen: "Whether you want to or not, you're coming with me."

-

After they get together, Zhou Shaowen is always holding Lin Qing in his arms. If Lin Qing doesn't eat enough, he scolds him. If Lin Qing is soft and sweet, he kisses him.

One accidental call from Lin Qing is enough to send Zhou driving through the night to be at his side.

Rumors that Lin Qing is being kept by a powerful big shot explode online.

A gossip account even releases two secretly recorded audio clips of Lin Qing talking on the phone.

Clip one: "I've eaten... I don't think I'm skinny... You cooked? You made it yourself? Even a dog wouldn't eat that."

Clip two: "Filming will go late tonight... Don't come over... If I call you hubby, will you stay away?… Hubby."

The internet goes wild. People feast on the gossip, and fans ship them.

[Even if a dog wouldn't eat it, we will! We'll gladly feast on all that lovey-dovey content!]

After the rumors set the internet ablaze, a press conference is held, and Zhou Shaowen, a top industry mogul, makes a public appearance.

"This press conference isn't to deny or clarify the rumors. It's to make our relationship official."

The whole internet screams: Leopard and kitty babies, we're here!!!
