Crossing the Line Again [Entertainment Industry]

[Heartbreaker x Wild Dog]

It took Jing Bolin just eight years to rise from an unknown nobody to a top contender for the Grand Slam Best Actor award. Looking back on his rise to fame, he realized there had been two indispensable factors.

One was luck. The other was Lin Hengzhou.

Lin Hengzhou was said to come from a powerful family, but even at the height of his fame, nobody could dig up anything about his family background.

Whenever people mentioned him online, the first thing that came to mind was the gay film titled A Sea of People.

The film became a sensation as soon as it was released, and its two male leads shot to fame overnight.

Everyone thought the two actors could ride the wave of popularity to stardom, but then one day, Lin Hengzhou posted a statement announcing his retirement from the entertainment industry.

From that point on, he vanished from the industry.

The film ended with its two protagonists parting ways. In real life, Lin Hengzhou and Jing Bolin went their separate ways, and for many years they never appeared together again, leaving countless online fans heartbroken and regretful.

Later, Jing Bolin joined an outdoor variety show to help a friend out of a tight spot.

The production team was ruthless: they had each guest draw a wristband, then told them to find a teammate at the airport wearing the same color. There were six guests in all. Jing Bolin was the last to arrive because of a traffic jam. When he saw the teammate wearing the same-colored wristband, his expression went blank for a few seconds.

"Don't recognize me? No wonder. It's been a long time."

When the show's preview went online, the camera happened to freeze on that moment. Viewers saw Lin Hengzhou, who had been out of the public eye for years.

The viewers:

"I remember now! I remember everything!"

"Girls, Mom and Dad are getting back together!"

"Our ancestors were once rich!"

"Production team! Go wild and make trouble! Don't be afraid! We've got your back!"

Back then, Lin Hengzhou had been unruly and carefree, like a flame that would never go out. Now he was gentle and refined, like a steady mountain.

As comments streamed across the screen, Jing Bolin remembered too. He and Lin Hengzhou really had shared something once.

Reading Guide:

1. Lin is the top, Jing is the bottom.

2. Updates follow the rankings when there are rankings; otherwise, updates are every other day.

3. I'll mention anything else if I think of it
