RSDH CH46

Filming intimate scenes in a spy drama was certainly not as explicit and detailed as in art films. But the key was that Li Lin didn’t arrange any further bed scenes for the characters at all; the protagonist’s romance stopped at just the right point.

He looked at Cheng Duzhou with an expression hard to describe in a few words, understanding that he was addicted to acting with his husband and reluctant to come out of character.

Li Lin raised his arms in a cross, making a standard “Dame” (No/Stop) gesture at him: “You better hurry home.”

Cheng Duzhou sighed almost imperceptibly and stood up: “I’m leaving… You have to consider carefully. I won’t film this kind of scene again in the future.”

Li Lin waved his hand: “Understood.”

Cheng Duzhou informed him again: “Then I’m leaving.”

Li Lin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “Okay, okay.”

Cheng Duzhou turned around, eyes still looking at the director: “I’m really leaving…”

But turning his head.

Duan Xingye was leaning against the door frame ahead, looking at him.

Cheng Duzhou: “…”

Duan Xingye’s face was indifferent, hooking his finger at Cheng Duzhou.

Come, follow me.

…

There was no one on the way from the corridor to the school gate.

Duan Xingye caught Cheng Duzhou and unleashed a barrage.

“What were you thinking?”

“Doing charity for the film industry?”

“Cheng Duzhou, isn’t your spirit of dedication excessive?”

“Speak!”

Cheng Duzhou was like a muted gourd, not speaking.

He just wanted to extend the couple experience card for a while longer.

Right at this moment.

The team members came in.

Duan Xingye restrained his aura, not letting anyone see any clues.

Changing clothes this time, Duan Xingye went to Cheng Duzhou’s exclusive dressing room.

The hairstylist helped him wash off the temporary dye, so when he went out, Duan Xingye’s hair tips were still slightly damp.

Cheng Duzhou had something to do on set. Duan Xingye got into his nanny van first, still sitting unceremoniously in the inner seat belonging to Cheng Duzhou.

Old Xu put aside the exploded official blog first and interviewed Duan Xingye: “Teacher Duan, today is your first cameo in a movie. How was the experience?”

Duan Xingye tilted his head, twisting his hair tips tight with a towel, and said, “Few scenes, very relaxed.”

Old Xu went further: “How did it feel acting with President Cheng?”

Duan Xingye lowered his eyes and said to the camera, “Suggest he focus on filming dramas in the future and stop accepting intimate scenes.”

Old Xu laughed muffledly: “Why?”

Duan Xingye pulled off the towel, smoothed his hair tips, and said lightly, “Because it’s suffering.”

Xiao Dai was shipping the CP on the scene. Seeing President Cheng being disliked by his wife, he felt both sympathy and the urge to laugh.

Old Xu turned a page of the script and said, “If given another choice, would you still be willing to marry President Cheng?”

Duan Xingye’s first reaction was if I have a choice, why get married? Isn’t being single fragrant (good)?

Almost about to sneer, realizing this segment would be broadcast, he corrected his sitting posture and said, “Willing.”

Old Xu thought Duan Xingye would add something more, but Duan Xingye turned to rummage for a charger.

He opened the storage compartment beside his hand and saw that face-down photo frame again.

Last time sitting in this nanny van was going to the All the Way With You recording base for an interview. He wanted to pick up the frame to look, but Cheng Duzhou was faster than him, closing the lid of the storage compartment and almost pinching his hand.

Mysterious and secretive, didn’t know what was in the photo.

But being carried by Cheng Duzhou everywhere, it probably featured some important person, or a frozen moment important to Cheng Duzhou.

Duan Xingye closed the storage compartment with a snap.

Who wants to peek at his privacy? Not interested.

“Alright, interviewed President Cheng at noon, so today’s schedule ends here.” Old Xu turned off the camera and said, “The official blog posted a preview just now, but the caption caused misunderstanding among fans. I’ll go back first to see how they handle it.”

Xiao Dai said hurriedly: “Thanks for your hard work.”

Not long after, Cheng Duzhou came.

Seeing Duan Xingye sitting in his seat again, playing on his phone with crossed legs, Cheng Duzhou couldn’t help associating him with a cat squatting on a keyboard. Clearly occupying someone else’s territory, yet unwilling to leave as a matter of course.

Cheng Duzhou sat in the seat beside him, secretly patting Duan Xingye’s raised calf. Like slapping a cat.

Duan Xingye lifted his eyelids to look at Cheng Duzhou displeasedly, warning him not to be handsy.

Right at this moment, Xiao Dai said happily: ” All the Way With You reposted a preview Weibo. No problem now.”

Duan Xingye opened Weibo casually to check.

All the Way With You V:

#AllTheWayWithYou# Season 2.

Today Teacher Duan visited the “Hunting” set for a surprise and cameoed a role in the play by the way. Lü Ye Shu Huai’s first big-screen collaboration, sweetness overload~ See you all on Saturday.

Three Reuters photos of the couple were attached below, clear enough to be treated as stills. One looking back in the corridor, one gazing at each other in the library, and one back view walking together.

Kiss photos not exposed for now.

Opening the comments section below, everyone went crazy.

“Ahhh! It’s Republic of China lovers! My President Cheng and Teacher Duan’s styling is explosively handsome!!!”

“Combining with the previous Weibo, President Cheng’s first screen kiss is Teacher Duan ah!”

“Sigh! Should have said it earlier, playing with our heartbeats. Congratulations to Lü Ye Shu Huai for becoming a screen couple!”

“Damn it, when is it released? Can’t wait to see.”

“Both have movie faces, too amazing. Just looking at photos, I’ve already imagined a hundred thousand words of Republic of China tragic love novel.”

“Real couple acting together is just fragrant. Will release kiss scene Reuters on Saturday, right!”

Soon, #ChengDuzhou and DuanXingye Star as Republic of China Lovers# hit the trending search. No marketing from any side; pure tap water (voluntary fan promotion) pushed up the heat.

However, while CP fans reveled, a Douban post was reposted to the square, occupying the front row.

Duan Xingye had nothing to do, opening it to read together.

Momo Posted a Discussion:

What level does this wave of marketing by Lü Ye Shu Huai belong to?

This CP can be said to be the fastest exploding in popularity in the past two years, most successful marketing, ranking in the TOP textbook-level examples. Troublesome for some traffic stars taking the queer-baiting route to come in and learn.

One is a big boss in the film industry, one is a top flow in the music circle. Neither lacks attention themselves. Didn’t let go of any CP bonus they should reap. Just exploded in the romance variety show, started cameo collaboration, various linkages, utilizing resources around them to the extreme. Can only say making money in the entertainment industry by ability isn’t shabby for anyone. But seeing CP fans with true feelings recommending them as a real couple to everyone, still breeds a feeling of sadness and ridicule.

Using a bit of brain can see, the other three groups of couples posted set visit photos today, tagging each other. Only this group, updates posted by official accounts, zero interaction on personal Weibo. Doing business clearly and plainly. But it doesn’t matter; CP fans will take action to send them to trending search. Do not accept refutation. Refute and I ask, did your idol distribute sugar today?

Sunflower: Said too rightly. Long felt this pair was strange. Super sweet in the livestream, silent off the romance variety show. And the previous connection singing love songs on trending search, obviously a script arranged by the program, yet relished by CP fans. Crazy.

Olive: This kind generally doesn’t dare to interact online, just afraid deleting Weibo after divorce would be too embarrassing.

Momo (Not OP): How dare they interact, the internet has memory. [doge]

Nana: Sad and ridiculous your [mother]. Mind your own business.

One Summer: President Cheng and Teacher Duan have always been low-key, don’t love showing daily life. What’s hard to understand?

Baibai: Teacher Duan said on the romance variety show, usually very busy, rarely misses President Cheng. It would be strange if he did business on Weibo someday. Don’t apply the love mode to every couple ok?

Momo: Sigh… CP fans who can’t be woken up.

…

One post incited a war of thousands of floors.

Xiao Dai happened to be watching the battle too, teeth itching: “Really managing too much. What’s hard about posting a business Weibo? Our Teacher Duan just doesn’t want to.”

Duan Xingye exited the post.

Cheng Duzhou just looked at other guests’ Weibo, all interacting. He said lightly, “Let me know if you need my cooperation.”

Xiao Dai’s eyes lit up.

Although he was disdainful verbally, which CP fan didn’t wish their idols would distribute sugar on all platforms.

Duan Xingye propped his cheek with one hand, lazily saying: “No need.”

In his view, the anti-fans hit one point correctly. Posting diligently on Weibo now would make deleting embarrassing later.

Cheng Duzhou turned off his phone.

Xiao Dai sighed in disappointment.

Without mission rewards, Teacher Duan became completely Buddha-like (chill) off the variety show.

When arriving home today, the sky was still bright.

Matchmaker the cat heard the door opening sound, jumped out of the nest, four legs running separately to the foyer, pouncing toward Duan Xingye, stopping at a distance, then pouncing twice toward Cheng Duzhou.

Duan Xingye found this cat livelier day by day. Fortunately, it didn’t cross the line, occasionally even feeling like an overly sensible child.

Cheng Duzhou entered the house, bent down to scoop up the cat, and turned around: “Taking it to the pet store for a check-up later, you going?”

Celebrity going out on the street was too troublesome. Besides, the kitten wasn’t under his care.

Duan Xingye lazy: “Not going.”

Cheng Duzhou walked into the living room holding the cat, burying his head to whisper to it: “See who treats you well now?”

“???”

If Cheng Duzhou insisted on comparing, then Duan Xingye had to be serious: “Who was watching it the past few days? Were you home?”

Cheng Duzhou looked back at him, then said to the cat: “Don’t listen to him. I was outside earning cat food for you.”

“…”

Idiot.

Cheng Duzhou made an appointment with the pet store, told Duan Xingye he had something to do, and went to the study.

Duan Xingye ignored him. It was rare for both to be home before five like today. Before, either one wasn’t home, or they came back later than the other, hastily spending a night and going their separate ways.

But even with more time together, they still did their own things.

Duan Xingye had nothing to do in the afternoon. Lying on the sofa, holding the remote control to find a movie to watch. Flipping back and forth, didn’t see the latest movies, so he opened Sleepless in Seattle. Directed by Li Lin, coincidentally starring Cheng Duzhou.

He really didn’t care who the lead actor was; just simply liked the story in the movie.

Matchmaker the cat ran out of the nest again, circling Duan Xingye’s slippers twice, squatting close, paws extending and retracting to knead (make biscuits) on the shoe upper.

The study door was closed, soundproofing good, no sound coming out. Unknown what Cheng Duzhou was doing.

But Duan Xingye wasn’t interested in knowing. Putting on glasses, lying sideways on the sofa propping his head, he concentrated on watching the movie.

Just like this, almost an hour passed. Sunset glow appeared on the horizon; the light outside approached the softness of evening.

Cheng Duzhou came out holding his phone, putting on a jacket: “I’m taking it to the pet store first. What do you want for dinner?”

Duan Xingye said, “Whatever.”

As long as he didn’t have to cook. Crucially, Cheng Duzhou made everything delicious. Based on this, he wasn’t picky.

Cheng Duzhou put the kitten into the space capsule backpack, glanced at the TV, then glanced again.

It was the movie starring him.

Cheng Duzhou stood up carrying the bag, passed by, then came back, standing in front of the TV asking Duan Xingye: “Tell the truth, are you my movie fan?”

“…” Duan Xingye lifted his eyelids lazily, swiping one finger to the left at Cheng Duzhou. “Crawl.”

So one person and one cat crawled away smoothly.

Not long after.

Duan Xingye received a message from Sister Yu, asking him to send the assessment form for each trainee from the guidance two days ago.

Duan Xingye wasn’t at the company currently, but remembered the file had a backup on the network drive. So he paused the movie and got up to go to the study.

The computer was in screensaver mode. Duan Xingye entered the password, opened the webpage, found the assessment form, and sent it to Sister Yu’s email.

Just as he was about to log out, he saw a separately placed folder on the desktop called “New Folder”.

It wasn’t there when he looked at the computer last night.

Duan Xingye clicked open and found two files inside. One was a video editor format, one was a video exported from the editor.

Looking at the last edit time, it was the thing Cheng Duzhou was messing with in the study just now.

Seeing his own photo on the video cover, Duan Xingye raised an eyebrow.

This definitely had to be watched.

Cheng Duzhou also connected headphones, placed aside. Duan Xingye picked them up, put them on, and clicked the video.

After official playback, he realized it was a CP edit video of him and Cheng Duzhou.

“…”

Duan Xingye ignored for now whose idol edited videos for themselves, watching with a mood of not knowing what to comment.

Soon, he discovered Cheng Duzhou referenced that CP video of him and Xie Hang, also engaging in the past and present life storyline. However, the material was richer, including Reuters photos from the Republic of China drama.

Between video materials, there were not only heart attack special effects but also ethereal pink text descriptions, embarrassing Duan Xingye until his scalp tingled.

As expected of the local dog’s handiwork.

But having survived the beginning, Duan Xingye’s expression watching the screen gradually became focused. Later, he pursed the corner of his lips, suppressing a trace of uncontrollable laughter. Dark eyes flashing with smiles, he actually became entranced watching.

The five-minute video, at the end, was the scene of the two looking at each other. Accompanied by background music, a man’s deliberately disguised deep magnetic voice sounded: “If lucky, please let me reach the soul through your eyes. Want to be with you all the way in the future.”

Duan Xingye blinked. After a long while, he finally couldn’t help lying on the table, shoulders trembling non-stop.

…Really couldn’t be tackier.

When Duan Xingye looked up again, his small face was covered in crimson, purely from laughing. He propped his chin with one hand, shaking the mouse with the other.

Right at this moment.

A notification box appeared in the upper right corner.

It was Cheng Duzhou’s WeChat still logged in on the computer.

Brother Duo: [Your Weibo alt account is applied. Account: …]

Brother Duo: [By the way, what do you want an alt account for?]

The corner of Duan Xingye’s lips curled up. Understanding Cheng Duzhou made the video, but because he didn’t have an account, hadn’t had time to post it yet.

He cleared his throat, sat up straight, rolled up sleeves on both sides, closed the video, right-clicked the file, and moved to trash.

The pet store was inside Vanke Metropolis; round trip took only half an hour.

When Cheng Duzhou returned, he saw Duan Xingye still maintaining the ‘Drunken Concubine’ pose lying on the sofa, watching the movie.

He asked, “Are you hungry?”

Duan Xingye shook his head.

Cheng Duzhou walked to the cat nest, saying, “Then I’ll cook in a while.”

After settling Matchmaker, he drilled into the study again.

Only this time, not even a few minutes passed before Cheng Duzhou came out again.

He picked an empty spot on the sofa by Duan Xingye’s legs to sit down, not watching the movie either, just looking down fiddling with his phone.

For a moment, only movie sound effects were in the living room.

Suddenly.

Cheng Duzhou said, “A fan tagged me on Weibo. Seems a compilation video of us came out. Want to watch?”

Duan Xingye didn’t take his eyes off the TV, saying lazily, “Go away.”

“…”

Cheng Duzhou licked the corner of his lips, opening the video on the spot. The background music and original sound of the romance variety show materials came out, intertwining with the sound on the TV at this moment, slightly noisy.

Only unprecedentedly, Duan Xingye didn’t tell him to put on headphones.

Cheng Duzhou watched for a while and said again, “Just five minutes, you really won’t watch?”

“Won’t watch.”

“…Edited with more skill than the video of you and that kid.”

“…”

Duan Xingye moved his gaze over slowly, lifted a foot, and stepped on Cheng Duzhou’s shoulder: “Say that again.”

Cheng Duzhou stopped talking, lowering his head, profile emotionless.

Duan Xingye extended his hand to him, helpless as if squeezing out time out of kindness: “Let me see.”

Only then did Cheng Duzhou show a bit of willingness, sat a bit closer, dragged the video progress bar to the very beginning, and gave the phone to Duan Xingye.

Duan Xingye looked down at the video, absent-minded: “Who edited it?”

“Not clear.” Cheng Duzhou said lightly, “A fan probably. Posted in the Super Topic, heat rising very fast.”

“Oh.”

As a result, watching for less than half a minute, Duan Xingye lost interest, throwing the phone back, continuing to watch TV: “Just like that. This kind of video is flooding Bilibili.”

Cheng Duzhou pursed his lips lightly, suddenly feeling bored too. Closing the video, he prepared to cook.

Just before getting up, he conveniently swept a glance at the comments below.

Saw the top comment.

“Ahhhhhhhh!!! Shipped crazily! Begging for directions to the Weibo of the last two CVs (voice actors)!!!”

Cheng Duzhou: “?”

He edited and dubbed it himself.

Where did two CVs come from?

Author’s Note:

Teacher Duan: Unable to endure tacky videos, better step in to save it.

Local dog spinning happily: Wifey is so good.
