RSDH CH53

In the [Lü Ye Shu Huai] livestream, a pre-edited video was inserted.

The camera shook a bit. Through the crowd, far away in the corridor intertwined with pothos, surrounded by black machines and white reflectors, two men with superior postures passed each other.

Playful flower text prompt: Sweet couple acting in their first rival scene~

The director shouted “Cut”.

When the actors walked to his side, the director was full of praise for Duan Xingye.

The audience also knew Li Lin was an internationally renowned director. getting his recognition meant Duan Xingye’s acting in this segment was truly good.

“Director film quickly, want to see!”

“Teacher Duan is an all-rounder, right? Good at everything from music to film.”

“President Cheng’s acting is superb, the look in his eyes at Teacher Duan is amazing! Just the Reuters photos make one’s heart race!”

“Give them a Best Screen Couple Award.”

Then came the second scene, the eagerly anticipated kiss scene.

The lens deliberately didn’t focus, very blurry. The two leading actors sitting by the corridor were mostly blocked by reflectors. Vaguely, one could see Cheng Duzhou kissing quite devotedly with eyes closed. But this scene was enough; the livestream screamed excitedly.

“Married couples acting together just feels right.”

“The couple’s first screen kiss!”

“President Cheng guarded his first kiss for five years since debut, couldn’t be just to wait for Teacher Duan, right?”

The video played for a short while before a “Shy.jpg” emoji covered the two actors’ faces.

Accompanying flower text: Everyone please look forward to the movie release~

This scene made everyone’s blood boil, but was stopped by the director’s dissatisfaction.

— “Cheng Duzhou, restrain yourself a bit!”

Seeing the couple looking embarrassed under the director’s lecture, the bullet comments laughed heartily.

“President Cheng: Can’t help it facing wifey.”

“So it was disliked for being too lustful!”

“Reasonable to suspect the two are dating on public expense.”

After the joyful tidbits, Duan Xingye was seen sitting in the car wiping his hair. Old Xu’s voice asked off-screen: “If given another choice, would you still be willing to marry President Cheng?”

Duan Xingye paused and said, “Willing.”

Then the scene changed. Old Xu, carrying the camera, found Cheng Duzhou leaning against the bookshelf.

Flower text typed out faintly: What about President Cheng?

Cheng Duzhou faced the camera briefly blankly, as if thinking what kind of question this was, changed his standing posture, and said, “Of course willing.”

Old Xu asked, “Who among you would be the one proposing?”

Cheng Duzhou said, “Me.”

Old Xu said, “At that time, what would you say to Teacher Duan?”

Cheng Duzhou thought slightly, looked at the camera, and said in a deep voice: “Duan Xingye, let’s get married.”

A circle of starry silver powder rotated in the middle of the screen, converging into a heart.

This episode’s theme emerged in the middle: Darling, Let’s Get Married.

Music played in the church. The main doors opened. Standing directly in front was the back view of a newlywed couple. Both slender, different heights, facing the bright and warm colors, quietly listening to the officiant’s vow.

“…Love him, be loyal to him… until death…”

“Now please exchange rings.”

Duan Xingye took the ring from the box and picked up Cheng Duzhou’s left hand.

But Cheng Duzhou pulled it away, handing him the right hand instead.

Only then did Duan Xingye remember Cheng Duzhou always wore the ring on his right hand. Heard him say that this way, when holding hands, the rings could touch.

Strange persistence.

There was a very faint white mark on Cheng Duzhou’s right ring finger. Looking at it, Duan Xingye remembered that rainy night he searched for the ring in the flowerbed downstairs. This local dog complained about how he couldn’t be the only one working hard, wanting to encircle him, proving to the outside world they were a pair. Fingers wet and cold white under the rain, stained with mud and leaves. At that time, for the sake of his hard work, Duan Xingye put the ring on him calmly and frankly.

But standing in the church at this moment, his chest felt slightly warm.

More or less influenced by the local dog’s tears, he also couldn’t help substituting into this holy and blessed marriage.

Duan Xingye pushed the ring along Cheng Duzhou’s slender ring finger, rotated it a slight angle, straightening it.

Cheng Duzhou’s turn. Last time, Duan Xingye put on the ring himself without a word; for this, he always felt regret in his heart.

Cheng Duzhou took the ring from the velvet jewelry box, holding up Duan Xingye’s hand.

When the ring stuck on the knuckle neither loose nor tight, he stared for a moment, blinking his lowered long lashes, still looking a bit moist.

The officiant smiled: “Congratulations on becoming husbands.”

The staff sitting in the seats acting as the audience stood up, applauding enthusiastically, as if truly witnessing the completion of a new couple’s wedding.

Duan Xingye looked up. Cheng Duzhou was also looking at him, those deep black eyes revealing a carefulness unlike usual.

Perhaps realizing the two standing there stiffly wasn’t right, nor fitting the ceremony process, Cheng Duzhou took a step forward. Only after confirming Duan Xingye showed no signs of resistance did he approach and hug him.

“WOOOHHH~”

Staff cheers grew louder.

There were also tens of millions of viewers in the livestream, similarly offering blessings, bullet comments almost overloading.

Witnessing the wedding scene of their favorite CP, words couldn’t express the emotion. Many fans outside the screen were moved to tears.

Duan Xingye was taken into Cheng Duzhou’s arms. Looking at the stained glass high in the church, he strangely felt the joy emanating from this person.

…

Duan Xingye hesitated for half a moment, trying to hug Cheng Duzhou back, stroking his back, then stroking again.

Seemed to be infected by the other party’s happiness too.

After the wedding, guests could return to the homestay arranged by the program team. The evening time was relatively free.

Duan Xingye got into the car.

Cheng Duzhou received a call at this time. Looking at the phone, he closed the car door first and walked to the other side to answer.

Through the open window, Duan Xingye’s gaze drifted intentionally or unintentionally to Cheng Duzhou’s back.

They had changed back into private clothes. Cheng Duzhou wore a well-structured and loose mountaineering suit. His back was tall and slender. Standing casually in the mountains with sinking twilight mist, he looked good as if shooting an endorsement ad. Cheng Duzhou always had the vigor unique to their age, yet added a steadiness slightly above his peers.

Wonder what he was saying on the phone.

Just as Duan Xingye was thinking, Cheng Duzhou suddenly turned around, their gazes meeting directly.

“…”

Whoosh, Duan Xingye’s gaze moved away unnaturally.

But immediately after, he lowered his head, regretfully smoothing the hair on his forehead, face heating up.

What’s there to hide? It’s not like haven’t seen before.

Really strange.

Duan Xingye wanted to look back unconvinced, but after hesitating for a moment, his arrogance disappeared. Nestling by the door on the other side, he picked up his phone to fiddle.

Cheng Duzhou still stood there, tilting his head, trying to check Duan Xingye’s situation bypassing the car window, but seeing no clues.

At this time, something was said on the phone. Cheng Duzhou snapped back, turning around again, saying: “It’s okay, Director Liang, you speak.”

The phone had been with the program team all day. After opening it, Duan Xingye saw numerous text messages. He immediately spotted a message from a teacher he hadn’t contacted for a long time in the middle, sent in the morning.

Teacher Cao: [Xingxing, I heard from your grandpa that you arrived in Yongzhou today. I’m currently working as a drama consultant in a crew, but booked a return trip for this afternoon. Checked, current location is less than half an hour’s drive from where you record the program. Haven’t seen you for a long time, want to meet?]

Another hour passed.

Teacher Cao: [Seems you are busy too, probably won’t see you today. Seeing you and Duzhou are good together, then it’s good. [Big Laugh]]

Duan Xingye replied immediately, explaining today’s situation.

Cao Junbo was a contemporary Peking Opera master, specializing in male Dan roles, and had been friends with Duan Xingye’s grandpa for more than twenty years.

Kan Dashan was a famous playwright. When young, he became friends with many singers and opera artists. People in his circle were top in their respective fields; a few friends often gathered in that small building in Yu City.

Therefore, when Duan Xingye lay on the floor playing Lego in his grandpa’s study as a child, surrounding him were famous figures like Zheng Qiuhua and Cao Junbo. Duan Xingye wasn’t influenced by Kan Dashan to become a writer, instead having more interest in the art of singing.

Kan Dashan occasionally felt jealous about this: “If I knew earlier, wouldn’t have let them come home; Xingxing was led astray by them.”

When Duan Xingye put down the phone, Cheng Duzhou happened to get in the car too.

Duan Xingye turned his head looking out the window; the cool night breeze in the suburban mountains blew through his hair.

Cheng Duzhou suddenly said, “I just received a call. Director Liang’s crew is filming in Yongzhou. He wants to invite me to dinner tonight… you going?”

Finished speaking, he turned to look at Duan Xingye.

Duan Xingye frowned slightly. Hearing Cheng Duzhou speak hesitantly meant he had other arrangements for the evening.

So next, preparing to let him finish recording the program alone?

They just held the wedding ceremony…

Duan Xingye hurriedly stopped his thoughts. The pursed corner of his lips tightened, glancing arrogantly at Cheng Duzhou, raising an eyebrow: “What if I don’t go?”

“Oh.” Cheng Duzhou looked down at his phone and said, “Then I’ll reply to Director Liang, saying we have something to do.”

“…”

Duan Xingye’s fierce momentum retreated immediately. Glancing out the window, licking his lips, he said, “Forget it. Thinking about it, don’t know what to eat tonight either; someone treating is just right.”

Cheng Duzhou looked at him blankly.

Duan Xingye looked back: “What?”

Cheng Duzhou shook his head, sitting up to send a message: “I’ll reply.”

He thought bringing Duan Xingye to his dinner crossed the line again.

The bullet comments saw it all: Haha, President Cheng is visibly happy.

The car stopped in front of a clubhouse with a quiet environment. Since it was still All the Way With You recording time, Old Xu followed to film. Director Liang knew about this and didn’t mind. Taking the gathering opportunity to promote his movie, why not do it.

Duan Xingye walked up the steps in front of the clubhouse.

Cheng Duzhou intended to wait for him, looking back several times, but Duan Xingye seemed to always follow behind him.

Looking back again, Cheng Duzhou glimpsed Duan Xingye’s shoelace on one foot was untied. turning around: “Wait a moment.”

Duan Xingye stopped.

Cheng Duzhou was about to squat down. Duan Xingye saw he wanted to help tie his shoelace and backed away hurriedly, but forgot there were steps behind.

Cheng Duzhou was quick-eyed and deft-handed, grabbing him.

Duan Xingye was stabilized, but frowned, hissing. Sprained ankle.
