My Young Boyfriend Is a Handful [Showbiz]

Ji Yusheng had a gentle, refined personality and striking good looks.

Three years after debuting, he was still a nobody.

Even his mother, who had softened her attitude toward him, asked, "Son, how come I've never seen you on TV?"

Ji Yusheng was quite satisfied with his "steady" job.

After all, being steadily obscure and steadily broke was still a kind of stability.

Until he met Pei Zheng, a rich young master who was only in the business for fun.

At their first meeting, Young Master Pei was lounging lazily in a folding chair on the set, casually sweeping the hair from his forehead. His exquisite, dazzling features wore an easy smile.

If you ignored his incessant chatter, there was no doubt he was beautiful.

The beauty pointed at the director and wouldn't let up. "Young master, young master, you're the young master here. How many times do I have to tell you not to call me that? You make me sound like I work at a club! How annoying."

"Yes, yes, you're right, Young Master Pei." The director wiped away a bead of cold sweat and bowed repeatedly as he apologized.

Ji Yusheng found it amusing at the time, until Pei Zheng turned his "steady" life upside down.

With his strikingly beautiful face, Pei Zheng joined the entertainment industry and gained countless fans. But he had barely been filming for two days before his reputation as a sharp-tongued diva was firmly established. People in and out of the industry began avoiding him like the plague.

When behind-the-scenes photos came out, haters said bluntly: "Terrible personality, atrocious acting. Apart from his face, there's not a single thing to like about him."

Pei Zheng raised an eyebrow. "Ugly people make the most trouble, and they're nasty to boot."

The road to love was rough. His self-proclaimed best friend tried to stop him: "A-Zheng, before you love someone, you need to learn to love your..."

Pei Zheng waved him off. "Why are you meddling in things that don't concern you? Did I eat your rice? Save the life lessons for yourself. Get lost!"

When their relationship went public, a chatty netizen commented, "The Pei family has such a huge fortune, but the second son found himself a man. All that wealth and no heir. So sad!"

Pei Zheng glanced up indifferently. "Humanity evolves, but you go backward. Civilization advances, but you get more ridiculous. What an honor to your ancestors, worthy of a place in the family genealogy! And that's not even mentioning my big brother. You earn 3,000 a month and feel sorry for someone worth 300 million a year? Does that make sense?"

Pei Zheng lived boldly and freely, without restraint or ties. There was only one person who was an exception.

When Ji Yusheng happened to pass by and glanced at him casually, Pei Zheng immediately put away all his prickly defenses. His lashes trembled, his bright eyes shimmered, and he looked utterly pitiful. "Yusheng-ge, they all hate me."

Ji Yusheng: "..."

Who hates whom, exactly?

Later, Pei Zheng gripped Ji Yusheng's wrist tightly, his brows knitted and his eyes clouded over. "Why were you looking at her? And with that look, too? How could you look at her? You're not allowed to look at her!"

Ji Yusheng massaged his forehead. "...Is it possible that it was just a TV drama I filmed three years ago?"

What's it like having a diva of a boyfriend?

Thanks for asking. Look at someone else once and he'll make a scene. Talk to someone else and he'll fly off the handle.

When he's in a bad mood, even a dog that happens to walk by is bound to get an earful.
