Rehearsing Romance [Entertainment Industry]

[This novel is complete. The next one is Coming Soon: After Hearing My Fake Couple's Inner Thoughts on a Dating Show]

Lemon's captain, Ran Jixiao, lost his phone at the airport.

That same evening, screenshots of his flirtatious WeChat messages with someone rumored to be his lover were posted online.

Ran Jixiao to Little Cat: Kisses.

Little Cat: Kisses back.

Ran Jixiao: Your performance today was so sexy. Mwah.

Little Cat: Mwah.

The hashtag #RanJixiaoRomanceExposed shot to the top of the trending charts.

Ran Jixiao himself posted on Weibo: I'm single, but I have a crush. The trending topic is about my alt account. Is there some rule saying people who haven't won over their crush yet can't have an alt account to practice being in the honeymoon phase?

Under the hashtag #WhoIsRanJixiao'sCrushLittleCat, netizens guessed every male and female celebrity who had ever crossed paths with Ran Jixiao.

Later, on a variety show, Ran Jixiao called his rival, Zhou Chenfeng, “Little Cat.”

The audience: Holy crap, guys, Little Cat has appeared!

But aren't you two rivals? Zhou Chenfeng was the first person everyone ruled out! And now Ran Jixiao has fallen for his rival? Damn, this is so exciting. I love it.

Zhou Chenfeng immediately posted a clarification on Weibo: You're all reading too much into it. He was talking to the cat in his arms, not me.

But before long, Ran Jixiao replied: You're the one reading too much into it.

Zhou Chenfeng: ??

In private, Zhou Chenfeng tried to look cool as he stared at Ran Jixiao. “Captain, I never expected you to...” Use a trick like this to ruin my image! That's so low!

Ran Jixiao: “Yeah, that's right. You're the one I like.”

Zhou Chenfeng: “...” The entertainment industry's coolest guy went from cool to utterly stunned in a split second.

-

After that, Zhou Chenfeng was asked about it in every interview, nearly losing the cool-guy image he'd created for himself.

Entertainment reporter: “Has Captain Ran confessed to you?”

Entertainment reporter: “Has Captain Ran won you over?”

Entertainment reporter: “When are you thinking of accepting Captain Ran's advances?”

Zhou Chenfeng, wearing what he thought was a very cool expression: “...Dating isn't cool at all. I won't do something so uncool.”

Later... the Jiyue Guangfeng couple announced their relationship.

@Zhou Chenfeng: #LoveConfession# I've got myself a partner. He's so sweet. [Cool] @Ran Jixiao

@Ran Jixiao: #LoveConfession# This one's for my cat. @Zhou Chenfeng [A Song for My Cat, Remixed and Revised.mp3]

Netizens: @Zhou Chenfeng, do you remember what you said before?!

Zhou Chenfeng told reporters: “Don't take my words out of context. I clearly said dating is cool. If you don't believe me, go try it yourselves.”

-

One day, an account complaining that its lover was way too insatiable in bed was exposed as Zhou Chenfeng's alt account.

The news broke Weibo so badly the site crashed.

Zhou Chenfeng himself was even more devastated than Weibo.

Even after the account was exposed so thoroughly that it might as well have been renamed Zhou Chenfeng's Alt Account, he stubbornly denied it.

@Zhou Chenfeng: I don't have an alt account!

Half an hour later, he watched helplessly as the hashtag #RanJixiaoWolfishBody rose to the top of the trending charts, right below the one exposing his alt account.

Zhou Chenfeng: “...”

Worst of all, he realized that whenever someone met his former captain, now his lover, for the first time, their eyes always drifted to a rather peculiar spot.

Coming Soon 1: After Hearing My Fake Couple's Inner Thoughts on a Dating Show

Ever since Cheng Sheng joined a dating show and started playing up his couple act with Chu Yan, he'd developed an unexpected problem.

He could suddenly hear his fake partner's thoughts.

*

Chu Yan was a top celebrity in the industry, an aloof beauty whom everyone considered impossible to approach and difficult to interview.

Cheng Sheng was getting paid to play the part, and as a professional actor, he was sure he could melt even the iciest heart. Just watch him work!

After hitting a wall time and again, Cheng Sheng stared at Chu Yan's eternally icy expression. This is so hard, getting this money is so hard. Can I break my contract?

Then, one day, Cheng Sheng slipped and fell straight into Chu Yan's arms. Suddenly, he heard Chu Yan's voice above him: “He's so soft.”

Cheng Sheng was startled, thinking he must have misheard. “What?”

Chu Yan stepped back and looked at him in confusion.

Cheng Sheng covered his ears. Am I hearing things?

But from then on, whenever Cheng Sheng made physical contact with Chu Yan, he heard thoughts that were the complete opposite of his cold, aloof expression.

“Why does he compliment other people and not me?”

“Why hasn't he come to hug me yet?”

“His smile is so sweet. I want to kiss him.”

During a game, Cheng Sheng climbed out of the pool, drenched, and leaned on Chu Yan's arm as he caught his breath

“Ah, is he trying to seduce me? I want to devour him.”

Cheng Sheng was so flustered he forgot how to breathe.

Could someone tell him why he was in danger of losing his virtue when all he'd done was take a gig?

At the end of the show, the director asked Cheng Sheng to describe Chu Yan in one sentence.

Cheng Sheng stared impassively at Chu Yan, who was casually playing with his fingers. “My boyfriend is an amazing actor.”

The next second, Chu Yan's thoughts rang out: “I'm sure of it. He wants to play role-play with me.”

Cheng Sheng: “You, shut up!”

Theme: Embrace life with optimism. Be an idol who radiates positivity and becomes everyone's sunshine.
