Li Sinian slept soundly, slightly frowning, the bridge of his nose resting on the pillow, his eyelashes resting wearily on his eyelids. Beta curved into a ball, lying on his shoulders, her belly undulating with his breathing. Fang Daichuan lay beside him, watching them sleep. It was raining heavily outside, it was already ten o’clock but the atmosphere was still gloomy. The room was dark and cold but inside the quilt was warm, filled with Li Sinian’s smell.
——Oh wait, there is also the smell of Beta’s fur, which is a little stinky but I’m quite used to it by this point.
The phone on the bedside table began to vibrate, Fang Daichuan hurriedly pressed the screen.
Li Sinian is a light sleeper and even the slightest movement could wake him up. One time when they just started slept together, Fang Daichuan turned over in the middle of the night and Li Sinian sat up abruptly, which almost gives Chuan’er-ge a heart attack. Later, after sleeping together for a long time, it was much better. As long as he slept at home, sleeping on this bed, even when Beta or Fang Daichuan walked around or Fang Daichuan washed and dried his hair, he generally wouldn’t wake up again.
Fang Daichuan walked out of the bedroom and carefully closed the door before answering the phone.
“Hello?” he asked in a low voice, with a confused tone.
“Ancestor!” Deng-ge yelled on the other end of the phone, “Hurry and wash up! I’ll come to you in half an hour! Are you ready?! How is your black cat?! Is it listening to you? Remember that it will be on a variety show!”
Fang Daichuan held the phone between his shoulders, squeezed toothpaste and promised: “I know, I know, rest assured, Beta is good. I’ve read the documents and the script, don’t worry.” The last word is said with a flirty tone.
Deng-ge did not expect to hear the coquettish tone that he almost spit out his breakfast.
“Fuck off, you bastard, don’t apply the same trick you used to deal with your husband on me. I’ll drive to your place to pick you up in half an hour and if you’re one minute late, I’ll let you run to the East Fourth Ring Studio by yourself!” Deng-ge cut off the call.
Of course Deng-ge is just joking, since now Chuan’er is no longer a lesser known actor.
Since the statement from the police, Fang Daichuan’s popularity has skyrocketed. An overseas peacekeeping mission, a mysterious foreign mercenary force, a cruise on the high seas, an undercover agent and finally the Chinese police winning a huge victory and making a name for themselves internationally. What a delightful and heart-warming subject! The melon-eater* couldn’t care less about the face-slapping* and they were so excited that they asked Fang Daichuan to elaborate on the details, and some of them even found out that his parents were both criminal police officers and had handled many major cases.
This plot is simply too irresistible to the melon eaters – this is basically a modern version of Olga Chekhova.
Director Chen made a direct call to Deng-ge‘s mobile phone and had an appointment with Fang Daichuan.
Director Chen is the sixth-generation director. He still has the young man energy and he was born in Beijing. His directing style is affection toward the main theme and also rebellion against it. He likes doing this style toward a war theme that turn it into a tragicomedy* that made the audience not know if they should laugh or cry.
Fang Daichuan’s appearance is very recognizable, “baby face with adult body”, his baby face and masculine figure is one of the selling points. Director Chen became interested and asked him to audition. His new movie, a new script about a star spy and a killing game, will feature Fang Daichuan as leading actor.
One’s attitude towards another changes with the latter’s social position and that holds true in showbiz. In the past, when Fang Daichuan was not popular, Huo Long Guo did not give him too many scenes in their variety shows. Now that Fang Daichuan is in the spotlight, everyone wants to take advantage of him before he stars in Director Chen’s movie.
Huo Long Guo hurriedly wrote another variety show and found a first-rate actress and a senior actor in the entertainment industry to increase popularity. Fang Daichuan was positioned as the 2nd male host, only behind the senior actor and the actress.
The theme this time is not suspenseful. Considering his current situation, they didn’t make a show that needed much brains, because after Fang Daichuan came back, he often made Weibo posts that basically told all his fans to scold Beta with him.
His Weibo has become a cat blog, so the variety show that they send to him this time is the cute show where he will travel with his pet. This variety show will magnify his silly muscular guys’ stereotype that surely will attract fans.
“They made it seem that they are giving you a big change but surely they just took advantage of the situation.” Li Sinian sneered after reading the script.
Fang Daichuan himself was not angry.
He had played a real Werewolf Killing once and had seen so many deaths. He no longer paid much attention to this kind of calculation from narrow minded people. When he was on the island, he once said to Li Sinian that he likes filming because there are wonderful stories in it. There are brothers who will live and die with you, friends with a promise worth one thousand in gold, a desperate villain and a love that goes forever. In the past, he was just a lonely modern man living a bland life yearning for such surging and dangerous feelings from the bottom of his heart.

Now he has it.
As long as he can film, he is satisfied.
Half an hour later, Fang Daichuan got dressed, the stylist specially prepared his clothes for him last night. Fang Daichuan put the sock and shoes side by side on the sofa and scratched his hair.
The doorbell rang.
Fang Daichuan internally thought that the parking spaces in their community were limited and it was difficult to park. Deng-ge usually called him down with a phone call and never took the initiative to come and pick him up.
Why it is different today? Fang Daichuan thought and opened the door.
“Surprise!” The hostess from Huo Long Guo shouted and rushed in frantically. She was followed by a group, carrying the camera’s radio lights and reflectors. They instantly got into the house and occupied the room.
(T/N : Surprise is in English in raw)
“Damn it!” Fang Daichuan reflexively shouted a swear word, his expression panicked, “Sister Tong! You, why are you here? Didn’t you wait at the East Fourth Ring Studio to record?!”
(T/N : Lol, Chuan’er now used to swearing without using censored words since he came back from the island.)
The hostess flipped her hair, laughing: “We lied to you! We are here to raid, otherwise there will be no excitement! Boys! Move! See what he has in his house! “
Fang Daichuan was scared out of his wits and stood in front of the bedroom door, wishing that he could find a hole and hide there. He really can’t deal with the consequence of this group of people filming Li Sinian’s sleeping appearance into the program. It’s a small matter for him to just come out of the closet and retire. However Deng-ge may really have ended up killing him.
Sister Tong seemed to sense something. Her eyes suddenly lit up and she pushed open the door after passing him.
“Huh?” Sister Tong seems to be surprised.
It is over, Fang Daichuan covered his face and said ten thousand sorrys to Deng-ge in his heart.
“Your room is messy!” Sister Tong smiled and patted his shoulder, “No wonder you didn’t dare to let us in!”
Fang Daichuan raised his eyebrows and looked at the room. There was no one inside, the quilt was messy. The windows were wide open, blowing the cold autumn wind from outside.
Beta was half asleep and half awake, frightened by a group of people breaking into the door, shrinking in the quilt filled with the smell of its master, screaming.
Li Sinian slept soundly, slightly frowning, the bridge of his nose resting on the pillow, his eyelashes resting wearily on his eyelids. Beta curved into a ball, lying on his shoulders, her belly undulating with his breathing. Fang Daichuan lay beside him, watching them sleep.
