Have This Comedy Duo Made Their Relationship Official Yet?

[Cool on the outside, a shameless tease on the inside: the witty banterer bottom x a hands-on, charming straight man top, both onstage and off] 1. Chen Xi, a solo xiangsheng performer, suddenly gets a partner. Going from solo acts to a two-man routine, his fans aren't put off at all. In fact, they're excited. When they see how handsome Chen Xi's new partner is, they're even more delighted. Somehow, it feels like "Brother Xi got married." Turns out, a man really does look better when he's set off by another man! After that, the two's interactions onstage leave their fans blushing. When their out-of-town branch theater faces a crisis, they join forces to handle it, moving their fans to tears. And at the once-sensational flower-show performance, they even share a breathtaking kiss. Their fans can't help crying tears of joy: Just make it official already! We've got the red envelopes ready! A year later, just as fans look forward to the anniversary celebration of the pair's first year working together, videos of them fighting flood the internet. Fans: Nooo! But before long, the two cheerfully show up on a variety show. Fans: ...Are you freaking kidding us? 2. A friends-with-benefits partner he used to sleep with years ago suddenly becomes his xiangsheng partner. Chen Xi finds it surreal, but his strong heart helps him accept reality. The problem is, whether onstage or off, Han Tianye keeps radiating his incomparable (flirting) charm (antics), bringing that reckless fling back to mind. Chen Xi is stunned. He desperately knocks on his own head, telling himself, "That guy's a jerk. Get a grip!" 3. Han Tianye teases Chen Xi onstage and off, but in the end, he makes him cry. Seeing Chen Xi clutching his long gown and crying pitifully, Han Tianye can't hold back and kisses him... 4. As captain of Performance Team Four at Jiqingtang, a large xiangsheng troupe, Chen Xi takes his management duties seriously: He deals swiftly and decisively with team members privately contacting fans or stealing other performers' material and gigs. When local bullies harass their small theater, he leads the charge. He's also thoroughly at ease when it comes to mastering traditional art. But when it comes to sorting out his relationship with Han Tianye, Chen Xi suddenly becomes timid and hesitant. Chen Xi: ...So it's true: no matter how great a xiangsheng performer is, nobody can handle love problems! Han Tianye: Chen can't handle it? Chen Xi: ... [Xiangsheng Theater Skit] Chen Xi: My partner and I are a lot like... Han Tianye: How so? Chen Xi: He's a computer, and I'm a USB drive. Ha! Without the files inside me, he can't run! Han Tianye: ... Chen Xi: He's a mortar, and I'm the pestle. Ha! Without me, he can't grind his medicine! Han Tianye: ... That night, Han Tianye pins Chen Xi down in bed and presses him hard. "Who's the USB drive? Who's the pestle?" Chen Xi, in tears: You are, you are, it's you! Balancing love and career, let's see how Chen Xi works with his partner and leads his team to carry traditional art forward. [Highlights] 1. They parted because of a misunderstanding. 2. Thanks to Yuan Xue for the cover art (performing a leg routine; the one in front is the top, the one behind is the bottom). 3. Not professionally researched; a mix of highbrow and lowbrow humor, bawdy material, dirty jokes, and crude gags. 4. Since Jiqingtang incorporates two traditions, there will be opera scenes. 5. No real-life inspirations! Nothing is related to reality! 6. There will still be a secondary couple, whose story will mainly appear in the extras. 7. You can't please everyone. If this isn't for you, please leave. Let's respect each other and read civilly. (The blurb has been screenshotted.) Theme: Carry traditional art forward
