HuaYu14: Female celebrities are going too fast.

"Naza, that's enough!"

Zhou Xun cupped Nao's face, making her stop what she was doing.

The little bit of saliva on the corner of her mouth was from when she was eating.

"But...you..."

Zhou Xun smiled and wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth. "If you can't eat anymore, don't eat. I'll take care of the rest."

Naza looked at the "bowl" in her hand, a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

Zhou Xun's food didn't have any particularly special taste, but she just found it fragrant, which made her somewhat addicted.

Perhaps this is what they mean by "love me, love my dog"!

Compared to the sweet, ambiguous, and relaxed atmosphere on Zhou Xun's side, the atmosphere in a studio in Beijing seemed somewhat oppressive.

Lin Gengxing sat at his desk, with three or four cigarette butts piled up in the ashtray in front of him.

He was wearing a black hoodie without a hat, his hair was a little messy, but his expression was quite calm, only occasionally frowning.

But his agent, Hao Xiaolan, was not so calm.

Hao Xiaolan is in her early forties and has been working in the entertainment industry for almost twenty years, managing artists ranging from top stars to unknowns.

She's seen all sorts of storms, but this incident has really gotten to her.

She stood in front of the office with her hands on her hips, her high heels clicking rapidly on the floor.

"Lin Gengxing, do you even know what the situation is right now?"

Hao Xiaolan lowered her voice, "The popularity of your starring role in 'God of War' is currently all focused on the third male lead. There are twice as many comments mentioning 'Lu Bu' as 'Zhao Zilong' in the live chat."

"Last week, three of the trending topics were about a certain person, while you, the male lead, didn't even have a trace of him. How can you sit still like this?"

Lin Gengxing flicked his cigarette ash and said unhurriedly, "Sister Lan, that buzz is spontaneous from the audience. They acted well, what can I do? I can't exactly go and hurl insults at them on Weibo, can I?"

"I'm not telling you to go and swear," Hao Xiaolan took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. "I mean, you should react."

"At least have the team issue a statement, or organize fans to control the comments and bring the trend back a bit."

"If you do nothing now, you're basically handing over the home field to him."

Lin Gengxing raised his head, looked into Hao Xiaolan's eyes, and said calmly, "Sister Lan, I know you're doing this for my own good. But I don't want to get involved in this."

"Why?" Hao Xiaolan frowned even more deeply.

Lin Gengxing stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray and leaned back in his chair: "I spent several months with Zhou Xun on set, so I know his personality better than you do."

"He's not the kind of person who likes to cause trouble. He's dedicated to his work while filming, and he's not arrogant off-screen either. He never acts like a diva on set and is always very polite to the staff."

"I remember the last time we played games together, I messed up several games, but he didn't scold me. He just blamed himself for being too bad."

Upon hearing this, Hao Xiaolan covered her head.

I really don't know how he could be so captivated by someone who's good at gaming and has such a great attitude.

Lin Gengxing continued, "He doesn't have a company or studio right now. This time, the hype was generated by the CP hype from Nazha's side. He didn't do anything; instead, he seems like a victim. I guess he's also thinking about suppressing the hype, but he doesn't have a team, so he can't handle it alone."

"If I were to go after him for this, firstly, it would make me seem petty, and secondly, it would betray the friendship we've built over the past few months."

Hao Xiaolan sneered: "Friendship? Lin Gengxing, you've been in this industry for years, don't you know how little friendship is worth?"

"Today we're friends, but tomorrow I might be climbing over your shoulders to get ahead."

Hao Xiaolan was furious. Pointing to the door, she said, "Do you believe that in two weeks, the press releases will be saying that 'Lin Gengxing' was completely outshone by the newcomer?"

"That was written by a marketing account, not by Zhou Xun," Lin Gengxing said righteously.

"Whether he instructed it or not, neither you nor I can say for sure; it's up to the audience to believe it."

"Geng Xing, I'm not trying to harm anyone, I'm trying to protect you. Your current position may seem secure, but do you know how many people are watching you?"

"If the male lead is overshadowed by a supporting actor in a drama, what will other production teams think of you if word gets out? Will you have to lower your salary? Will you still be able to fight for top billing?"

Lin Gengxing, growing impatient, shouted, "I'm an artist, not you! Don't I get to decide my own affairs?"

Hao Xiaolan's temper flared instantly after hearing this.

She walked up to Lin Gengxing and grabbed his ear: "Did I say all this just for myself...?"

Lin Gengxing's earlier toughness softened again. He had been joking with him, but now he stood up in pain and said, "Sister Lan, I was wrong, I was wrong. You were only doing it for my own good."

"Okay, give me three days. I'll talk to Zhou Xun and ask him to cooperate in calming things down."

Hearing Lin Gengxing relent, Hao Xiaolan let go of his ear and softened her tone: "You're just too soft-hearted. Fine, three days. If the hype doesn't die down after three days, don't stop me from doing my job."

Lin Gengxing nodded without saying anything.

After Hao Xiaolan left, Lin Gengxing immediately sent a message to Zhou Xun.

The message seemed to disappear without a trace. After waiting for an hour, Zhou Xun still hadn't replied. Lin Gengxing got up and decided not to wait any longer, deciding to talk about it tomorrow.

At this moment, Zhou Xun really didn't have time to reply to Lin Gengxing's message. Nazha was about to collapse, but there was still no sign of him coming out.

He is working twice as hard.

Another hour passed before Zhou Xun came out. He leaned against the headboard, and Na Zha, exhausted, lay limply in his arms.

Her hand traced circles on Zhou Xun's abs, her voice soft: "Zhou Xun, if I had stopped Sister Cai from hyping things up back then, would things have turned out differently?"

Zhou Xun touched her cheek: "Don't overthink it. It's just a matter of time."

He shaved his little nose again, starting to portray himself as a warm and caring man: "Besides, it's nothing for me to sacrifice a little for my girlfriend."

Naza wrapped her arms around Zhou Xun, pressed her cheek against his body, and pressed her breasts against him as well.

She could clearly hear Zhou Xun's heartbeat: "You're so good to me, I really don't know how to express my love for you!"

Zhou Xun's lips curved into a slight smile, and he began to offer his insightful advice: "Do you know what true love between lovers is?"

"What?" Naza looked up at him.

"It's loyalty!"

"Then how can I demonstrate my loyalty to you?"

"Like this." Zhou Xun touched her buttocks. "Your things, only I can touch them, no one else can."

Na Zha tightened her grip on Zhou Xun's arm, her tone extremely serious: "My things are for you to touch, feel, and insert only. I will only eat your things and use your things."

"And what about you? Will you only ever use my things?" Naza countered.

Zhou Xun smiled and said truthfully, "Shouldn't true love be like this?"

But in his heart he thought: My love is in my room, but once I leave the room, my heart will turn into Schrödinger's cat.
