He Would Confess at the First Opportunity

In just one short day, Chu Xinghui went from being smeared online to trending.

The director of "Please Love Me a Little More" knew this was the perfect moment and immediately moved up the web drama's release, putting all eight episodes online.

[Please Love Me a Little More: Huihui is amazing! But our Hui is very handsome too!]

The official account only had time to post that one promotional message before releasing it, without even promoting the two leads.

Even the protests from the two leads' fans under the official Weibo account were drowned out by people who had come to see Chu Xinghui's acting.

With Chu Xinghui getting so much attention for his dancing, people had thought they finally had something to mock him for. They never expected his performance in the drama to exceed everyone's expectations.

[Holy shit! Bro! Weren't you just seducing me on the livestream? How have you turned into such a handsome guy now?!]

[I'm dying, I'm dying. Huihui, kick me again. (Wipes nosebleed)]

[Hahaha, the person above is having a cyber nosebleed, but Pei Hanmo went straight for a real one.]

[Waaah, bro, how can you have so many different sides? I can't love them all fast enough!]

[I thought I'd gained a wife, but it turns out I gained a husband...]

The two trending hashtags, #Chu Xinghui Is Absolutely Killing It# and #The Entertainment Industry Has Tapped Less Than One Percent of Chu Xinghui's Potential#, held steady near the top.

Huge numbers of viewers also flocked to the web drama, making the director a fortune.

At the same time, many people questioned Fan Weicai's acting.

[Does anyone else feel like this drama is only good in fits and starts?]

[Seriously... the male lead is way too sleazy. Huihui, pick a better drama next time QAQ]

[Now that we've got the talent, let's stop working with sleazy male leads like this.]

[Huihui already has a million followers! Looking forward to the cross-dressing!]

After lunch, Chu Xinghui looked at the messages on Weibo, his lips curving into a smile that said everything was still under control.

Standing beside him, Wen Liangtian saw his sleazy smile and looked utterly baffled.

"What kind of smile is that? And if you can do all these things, why didn't you show them off at your company?"

If he had done this before, the company at least wouldn't have made him a pawn to promote someone else.

"If I'd been like this at my old company... would I have survived until my contract ended?"

A calculating look lurked in Chu Xinghui's bright eyes.

"Do you think I'm an idiot?"

Wen Liangtian suddenly understood.

Chu Xinghui had discovered something was wrong with the company when he signed, but by then, the contract was already signed and there was nothing he could do.

If he had shone too brightly, the company would definitely have made him sign even more unfair agreements.

His contract might not even have ended by the time Chu Xinghui died.

But if he was so smart, why had he signed the contract in the first place?

He wanted to ask more, but Chu Xinghui didn't look very willing to recall what had happened back then.

Fair enough. He reached out and draped an arm over Chu Xinghui's shoulders.

Nobody wanted to remember bad experiences. He would just assume Chu Xinghui had been muddleheaded at the time.

For the afternoon, Wang Xiao had arranged for everyone to explore the Ancient Town. Unlike their rushed visit that morning, they could shop freely in the stores.

But after what had happened at noon, none of them felt like shopping. They all gathered around Chu Xinghui.

Man Feiluan in particular took advantage of the fact that Chu Xinghui hadn't removed his makeup and pulled him along to take several photos in the Ancient Town.

He happily posted them on Weibo.

The others either asked Chu Xinghui where he had learned to dance or simply stayed quietly beside him.

Of course, Pei Hanmo was probably the only one doing the latter.

Watching Chu Xinghui surrounded by people, he didn't know whether he felt happy or jealous.

The person he had liked for so many years was finally showing his brilliance, but that radiance was making even more people fall for him.

Once Chu Xinghui truly reached the position he wanted, he would confess at the first opportunity.

Wan Linqing walked alone at the back of the group, her face expressionless as she planned what she would do that night.

"Are you really not sleeping with us?"

Wen Liangtian held Lan Xiangxian's hand and asked worriedly,

"Didn't you say something seemed off about Wan Linqing?"

The camera was right behind them, so he could only speak quietly.

"It's fine, Wen Liangtian. We're staying far apart."

Lan Xiangxian smiled and shook her head, indicating that she could hold her own and wouldn't be bullied.

"All right. It's only two days anyway. Just bear with it."

With that, he followed Man Feiluan back to their room.

After exploring the Ancient Town that afternoon and eating dinner, everyone returned to their rooms to get ready to rest.

Looking around his enormous room, Chu Xinghui spoke to the cameraman out of boredom.

"Hey, can you see the live comments?"

The camera lens nodded up and down.

"Then let me have a look too. I'm bored anyway."

He asked the cameraman for the livestream account for his camera, then opened it, ready to chat with the viewers.

[Y-you're just looking straight at it...]

[Oh my, what do I say? Oh my...]

He asked in confusion,

"Why are all my esteemed officials hemming and hawing instead of speaking? Do you have some concerns?"

This was the internet, where everyone spoke freely! What underwear couldn't they throw off?

Since Chu Xinghui had put it that way, the live comments immediately began flooding in.

[Hello, wifey bro! Good night, wifey bro!]

[Hubby... say a little more... let me record it to use as my daily alarm.]

[Hubby, say something~]

With the comments finally back to normal, Chu Xinghui felt at ease and chatted happily with the viewers.

Meanwhile, Wan Linqing had shut off her livestream early, changed into something rather sheer, and come to Yuan Zhanpeng's door clutching a bottle of perfume.

She reached out and knocked.

"Huh?"

Yuan Zhanpeng opened the door, clearly not expecting Wan Linqing to visit, and tilted his head.

"Um, I think Man Feiluan wanted to see you."

Wan Linqing's room was relatively close to Man Feiluan's, so it was reasonable for her to come over to pass on a message.

"He said he wanted to surprise you, so he didn't message you on your phone."

Yuan Zhanpeng stared quietly at Wan Linqing for a while. Seeing that she didn't avert her eyes, he set off toward Man Feiluan's room.

Just as Yuan Zhanpeng was about to knock on Man Feiluan's door, Wan Linqing went straight into the room, shut the door, and locked it from the inside, all in one smooth motion.

Pei Hanmo was showering inside and had no idea what had happened outside.

Wan Linqing sprayed the inducer she was holding around the room, then swallowed the heat inducer she had prepared beforehand.

It was meant for people with unstable heats and could induce one.

As Pei Hanmo showered, he suddenly felt hot all over and realized that his heat must have come early.

He pushed open the door, intending to borrow a suppressant from Yuan Zhanpeng, only to be hit by the overwhelming scent of pheromones the moment he opened it.

Wan Linqing walked over to him and spoke in a seductive voice.

"Film Emperor... are you hot...? I'm so hot... could you help me...?"

For the first time since that afternoon, she finally smiled in triumph.
