Breach of Contract

Once again, they had to call "cut." This time, even the director came over. "Little Gu, is something wrong? You don't seem to be in good shape. How about we take a break?"

"Sorry for holding everyone up today." After saying that, he had his assistant order afternoon tea for the staff.

After this display, no one had anything left to say. The Best Actor's attitude was so good that they couldn't keep harping on two mistakes.

Ye Qing's voice continued.

[Wow, Yu Hang really dares to dream. He actually wants to sleep with Brother Gu, and if Tong Ru agrees too, wouldn't that make it one man and one woman?]

[The scene is too beautiful. I don't even dare imagine it.]

[The most important thing is, after doing something like that, why does he still look embarrassed?]

[He's seriously split-minded.]

From the conversation, Gu Ze had already deduced what was about to happen to him, but he truly hadn't expected to encounter something like this.

The two people inside continued.

"Why? I want to share Gu Ze with you."

"Because you can't handle Gu Ze on your own."

"If you could handle him alone, would you need to come to me for help?"

Yu Hang instantly fell silent. Indeed, because of what had happened before, Gu Ze would never pay attention to him. That was why he needed Tong Ru to arrange a meeting with Gu Ze.

In the end, Yu Hang could only say, "We each put in some effort. Wouldn't sharing be better?"

"I'll think about it." Tong Ru did not answer directly.

Yu Hang told her to make a decision quickly and left. After he was out of sight, Ye Qing saw Tong Ru swiftly open her phone.

She began speaking to the person on the other end. "Darling, let me tell you. I just ran into a total oddball."

"He was really scary. He actually wanted to drug someone. Wow, what a pervert."

To be honest, Ye Qing had not expected Tong Ru's true personality to be like this. The Tong Ru everyone knew was more like a career-driven woman—clean, decisive, and unconcerned with what others thought of her, as though she could do anything.

But only now did Ye Qing realize that this wasn't the case at all. Her real personality was completely opposite. She got scared when faced with trouble and acted coquettishly with people close to her.

Knowing that Tong Ru would not join Yu Hang in doing something despicable, Ye Qing quietly left.

He had to go back and tell Gu Ze about this. For some reason, just thinking about it made him incredibly happy.

Ye Qing jogged all the way back. When he returned to the production crew, he discovered that they were no longer filming. With a single burst of speed, he darted into Gu Ze's lounge.

"Brother Gu, why aren't you filming?"

"Everyone was tired, so we're taking a break."

Ye Qing did not dwell on the question. He quietly moved closer to Gu Ze, his voice barely able to contain his excitement. "Brother Gu, do you know what secret I heard?"

Gu Ze thought to himself, I probably know what you're about to say.

But not only could he not say so, he also had to pretend he knew nothing. "Oh? What secret?"

Ye Qing grew even more excited. "This secret is about you."

Gu Ze raised an eyebrow. "What secret?"

"I won't tell you directly. Listen for yourself, Brother Gu."

Although there was no one else in the lounge, Ye Qing did not play the recording immediately, just to be safe.

Instead, he found a pair of earphones and connected them via Bluetooth. Perhaps because he was too excited, Ye Qing even wanted to put the earphones on Gu Ze himself.

Gu Ze was sitting in a chair. Ye Qing stood up and reached out to put the earphones on him. Since it was difficult to do so face-to-face, Ye Qing tilted his head slightly.

Gu Ze failed to react in time because Ye Qing moved too quickly. After that, he simply let Ye Qing do as he pleased.

Just then, the lounge door suddenly opened. Upon seeing what was happening inside, someone quickly shut it again.

Along with the closing door came a hurried apology. The assistant stood outside, recalling what he had just seen. Brother Gu is way too bold.

And when did Brother Gu start dating?

Inside the lounge, Ye Qing stared blankly at the closed door, then turned to Gu Ze. "Am I some kind of terrifying person?"

Gu Ze thought about it briefly and immediately understood what had happened. His head had been upright, while Ye Qing's had happened to tilt downward. And because Ye Qing was slightly bent over, from the doorway it had looked very much like they were kissing.

But Ye Qing clearly had not thought of that. Gu Ze had no intention of pointing it out, either.

He merely said indifferently, "Maybe you really are."

That was not the important thing now. After putting on the earphones, Ye Qing opened the recording on his phone.

Watching Gu Ze's expression shift unpredictably, Ye Qing found it somewhat amusing.

[Actually, Brother Gu has the looks, the figure, and the ability. It's no wonder Yu Hang wants to sleep with him.]

He had not seen Gu Ze's whole body, but he had at least touched it. Judging by his abdominal muscles, the rest had to be pretty good too.

[The more I look at him, the more satisfied I am.]

Gu Ze felt extremely tormented at that moment. He already more or less knew what was going on, but to keep Ye Qing from noticing, he had to pretend he was only learning about it now.

After Ye Qing finished listening, he could not hide his smile. "So, Brother Gu, what are you going to do?"

"Oh, right. I don't think Sister Tong Ru would do something like that."

"I know."

Gu Ze was silent for a while before speaking. "He definitely can't stay on the production. Otherwise, who knows what might happen next."

Ye Qing could think of that too, but what method would they use?

Perhaps seeing Ye Qing's confusion, Gu Ze smiled lightly. "You forgot? This drama belongs to Gu Corporation. If I don't want him here, he won't be able to stay."

"You're still young. Just focus on acting properly."

Ye Qing objected unhappily, "Brother Gu, you're only two years older than me."

"Even so, I'm still your brother."

Although Gu Ze said replacing Yu Hang would be easy, he still needed to discuss it with the director. After all, all of Yu Hang's scenes would have to be reshot, which was a major undertaking.

"Stay here and rest. I'm going to find the director." After saying that, Gu Ze walked out.

The assistant was standing by the door. When he saw Gu Ze, he looked somewhat surprised. His expression seemed to say, That's it? It's over already?

Gu Ze was speechless. This was the first time he had realized that his assistant was so dense.

Who would do anything in a place like this? No, it was that he and Ye Qing would never have anything going on.

He had almost been led astray himself.

After communicating with the director, Gu Ze called Ye Qing over and went to find Yu Hang. He knew Ye Qing definitely wanted to see things unfold in person.

Yu Hang was still happy when he learned that Gu Ze wanted to see him, but the moment he saw Ye Qing, his expression changed.

However, because Gu Ze was there, he did not say anything.

Ye Qing was not so restrained. His first sentence was, "You've been kicked off the production."

Yu Hang had yet to react when Gu Ze handed him a breach-of-contract notice.

There was a clause in the contract stating that an artist could not do anything detrimental to the production or the other cast members. Yu Hang naturally knew about that clause, but...

"I didn't breach the contract. What right do you have?"

Ye Qing eagerly played the recording. The moment Yu Hang heard the first sentence, he knew it was over.

To be safe, Ye Qing did not play the entire recording.

Yu Hang looked at Gu Ze and ultimately could not resist asking, "Do you still remember the little actor from Return from the Great Dream?"

"Oh, hey, I was just about to ask if you remember Xia Yuhe by Daming Lake?"
