Taking the Loss [Entertainment Industry]

Now available next door: "Fake Marriage" and "Little Rascal"

One drunken night, Xiang Xun picked up a bedmate, a young man who fit his tastes in every way. Only later did he learn that the kid was a major movie star.

Then he ended things.

The kid was well-behaved: no crying, no fuss, no threats of suicide. They ended their bedmate arrangement amicably, and as far as Xiang Xun was concerned, that was the end of the story, until he took a job filming a reality show.

He was assigned to follow a popular singer. Not even two days into filming, the singer demanded a replacement, claiming the cameraman was more handsome than him.

He invited a young actor to eat chicken cutlets, but the actor sent them back, claiming to be allergic to chicken.

He had a heart-to-heart with a popular author, and the next day, the author publicly declared that he was a social phobic who would have a heart attack if a conversation lasted more than ten minutes.

Then he was assigned to follow the famous actor Luo Han, and at last, the world started acting normal again.

Xiang Xun: ???

The actor: I'm well-behaved. Extremely well-behaved. I've been keeping an eye on you for five years before making my move. How much more well-behaved can I be?

Xiang Xun: Don't fall for me. It won't end well. I only do casual hookups.

Luo Han: How about a hookup that lasts a lifetime?

Shi Qing arranged a hookup and wound up with someone just like him. They couldn't outdo each other, so they had a fight in bed instead.

The next day, Shi Qing met the temporary boyfriend he'd hired online, only to discover that the guy was the bastard he'd fought with in bed the night before.

So they had another fight.

Before long, Shi Qing married the guy to spite his father. The marriage certificate was real, but the marriage was fake, so they signed an agreement.

Until they could divorce as agreed, they would act like a loving married couple in public and stay out of each other's business in private.

In public

Shi Qing: Darling, what should we eat tonight? How about a candlelit dinner?

In private

Shi Qing: Why do you care what time I get home?

In public

Shi Qing: Darling, I want a bedtime story tonight.

In private

Shi Qing: It's your turn to sleep on the couch!

In public

Shi Qing: Darling, happy anniversary. May we always be in love.

In private

Shi Qing: You're sleeping on the couch again tonight... The bed is mine. What are you doing up here?

Gao Yang pulled back the covers and climbed in, saying with a straight face, "I remember you wanted a bedtime story. I just read one recently... the cover was yellow. I'll tell it to you."

Shi Qing: ...

After the bedtime story

Gao Yang kissed Shi Qing on the forehead. "Happy anniversary. I'll always love you."

[Upcoming super-sweet novel: "Little Rascal"]

When Lu Chining was twenty-four, he took in a teenager who'd faked an accident to scam him. He felt sorry for the kid and let him stay. Two or three years later, the fiery little rascal nearly devoured him.

When they met again, Lu Chining was past thirty, and the little rascal had grown into a polished, respectable professional. He'd learned how to handle people, how to be gentle and obedient. He seemed utterly harmless.

"Brother Chining, I just graduated and can't afford rent. Can I rent a room at your place?"

"Sure, make yourself at home." In his heart, Lu Chining had always treated the kid like a son. As long as the brat didn't cause trouble, he was happy to spoil him.

"Brother Chining, a coworker gave me two movie tickets. How about I take you to a movie and a nice dinner this weekend?"

"Sure." Lu Chining thought that after all the money and effort he'd spent raising this kid, it was finally time to see some returns.

"Brother Chining, I turned twenty-four today. Does that mean I can pursue you now?"

"P-Pursue my ass!" Lu Chining punched the little rascal, who still hadn't given up. "Get lost!"

The little rascal caught his fist with ease and pinned him against the table, his gaze gentle but stubborn. "Lu Chining, I have a job now and I'm old enough to get married. I've done everything you asked me to. What excuse do you have left for not letting me pursue you?"
