A New Scandal Breaks Every Day

Ling Mo was notorious inside and outside the entertainment industry as a playboy and a famous heartbreaker, with countless rumors linking him to others and his love life constantly trending. Rumor had it that an award-winning actor who worked with him fell in love at first sight; the famous director of the art-house film that launched his career named him his muse; a top-tier star and songwriter spent months writing a song especially for him; and a junior he'd mentored was the type to “fall in love for a moment and stay in love forever.” The rumors spread online like wildfire, sounding like facts. Fans went wild shipping him with everyone and fought until the internet practically collapsed over who Ling Mo loved most. In reality, Ling Mo himself was baffled by these rumors: “Thanks, but the award-winning actor and I really are just ordinary friends.” “We only worked together on one movie. How does that make me his muse?” “How would I know which lyric was written for me?” “I only said one sentence to that junior, and people are already making stuff up!?” He was a lightning rod for controversy. Those who hated him loathed him, while those who loved him worshipped him like a god. On social media, one day people bashed him for attracting admirers, being shameless, and dating several people at once, demanding he get out of showbiz. The next, they praised him as versatile and talented, pointing out that his achievements could fill three whole pages and saying that maybe it was understandable he was so popular. On Sundays, fans and haters called a truce, and the only thing that kept growing was a huge thread speculating about when his career would finally crash and burn. Ling Mo: “Thanks. At this rate, I'll never fall out of favor in my whole life ^^” But the footage secretly taken by paparazzi told a different story: When tired, he'd naturally rest his forehead against Ying Yu's neck and shoulder. His left earlobe had a plain silver hoop matching the one Ying Yu wore in his right ear. He even showed up at Ying Yu's door wearing his pajamas. A reporter couldn't help asking, “You've known Mr. Ying for over a decade. Is it really just brotherly affection?” Ling Mo looked completely matter-of-fact. “What else would it be?” That night, in the lounge after work. Ying Yu blocked him at the door. His scorching breath brushed Ling Mo's ear, his voice husky with long-restrained desire. “What brothers want to kiss each other like I want to kiss you?” Fans said the lyrics of Ying Yu's songs clearly pointed to someone, but Ling Mo obviously didn't think so. Ying Yu watched people come and go around him: those who loved him, hated him, admired him, and looked up to him… People always gravitated toward him. He'd been like that since childhood, effortlessly becoming the center of attention. Ying Yu knew there would always be a place for him behind that center of attention. But what if he no longer wanted to be satisfied with that place? 1.
