Initially, only women tried to fool around with Pei Zhen.

Ever since he’d come out of the closet, his world seemed to have changed. From time to time, men would show interest. Although Pei Zhen would ignore them, those who had high hopes persisted in making advances.

Like the cheap flirt before him right then.

He dressed in a tight-fitting shirt, and his pants sat low on his waist. He had painted eyes and smiled alluringly when he saw Pei Zhen. “Daddy Pei, I need some acting advice from you, would that be possible?”

Pei Zhen wanted to send him off rudely. He didn’t expect that there would be such shady characters at the National Television.

Pei Zhen, who still had his makeup on, was uncomfortable. But even though he was disgusted by the youth before him, he wasn’t about to retreat.

Utter rubbish.

Of course, the man had to let him pass!

“Step aside,” Pei Zhen said without pretending to be polite as he approached the resting room entrance, “You’re in my way.”

“Mr. Pei.” The slicker clearly had no shame at all. Pei Zhen looked at him icily, but the youth took a few steps forward still. “Best Actor Fu is proud and arrogant, and I’m sure he’s not a good match for you in bed. Mr. Pei, I’m different. I’m well-behaved.”

Pei Zhen was speechless.

“You can do as you please.” The youth continued to tempt him. “There are no authentic relationships in the entertainment circle. There’s nothing wrong in having an affair once in a while.”

Between the sentences, he tried to lean up against Pei Zhen. His heady perfume was so offensive that Pei Zhen was on the verge of hitting him.

Pei Zhen clenched his fist, trying to control his urge.

He was going to ask the youth to scram when the sound of leather shoes tapping on the ground came from around the corner. Accompanying them was an icy and hostile presence.

“Having an affair?” The man’s voice was deep, and it carried angry undertones, causing the hairs on one’s arms to rise. “You’re bold to be messing around with my lover.”

A dashing man appeared from around the corner of the corridor, the dim light casting shadows on him. The light illuminated half of the man, and the other was in darkness, making him look most threatening.

“F-Fu…” The youth started to tremble when he saw the man. He stammered, “I-I was just kidding… I-I will take my leave now and won’t bother you further…”

The youth scrambled in his nervousness and even fell while scurrying away. He left a shoe behind.

Even then, he didn’t dare to retrieve the shoe and ran away with a barefoot, completely embarrassed.

Tsk.

Pei Zhen couldn’t understand it. He had put on an icy expression too, and it didn’t make that youth scram. But the moment Fu Sichen appeared…

Pei Zhen turned to look at his boyfriend. The sharp boyfriend responded promptly when he saw Pei Zhen looking at him. He walked over to Pei Zhen as if Pei Zhen was the most precious thing in the world.

“I came over to look for you the moment filming ended.”

He took Pei Zhen’s face in his hands and looked gently at his young boyfriend. “Did you miss me? I’ve been thinking of you.”

Pei Zhen’s face was burning, but he nodded without retorting. “I missed you.”

“To the point of having an affair, scaling the wall, cheating?” That Fu Sichen even left the youth intact was for the sake of not breaking the law. “You’re that popular huh, Pei Zhen?”

“Of course I’m popular.” Pei Zhen had never doubted his own worth. “He was the one who came pestering me.”

“Excuses. Couldn’t you have pushed him away? Didn’t he scram as he was told the moment I glared at him?”

“H-How would I know.” The boyfriend was jealous without a cause again. Pei Zhen was worried that he’d find reasons for more outlandish bedroom punishments. “That’s most certainly because you look scary.” That’s why he ran away!

Fu Sichen smiled.
