Love Rival Is Getting Prettier Everyday - Chap 102
Chapter 102: Why is he so Good-Looking?
“Wow, hasn’t been released yet, but the trailer for the new movie Touhua’s in already came out. It’s so seamless!”
“At the end of the year, he also has . It’s said that actor Cai Jun is acting with him! This is the main film project for Sunshine Media in the second half of the year. Touhua’s resources touch the sky!”
“This is called defying the gods. Touhua will have a super pie next year.”
“Isn’t the new movie directed by Director Zhang? I see a lot of pie-licking in your district. Some people say the male protagonist is already in touch with Touhua.”
“Will he only make movies in the future? It has always been a regret in my heart that Li Xu didn’t take the golden bell. I really want him to make another TV series and become emperor.”
“If there’s a movie, who would want to star on the small screen? The original work of is very touching. Touhua and Bai Qingquan are the best matches for a young student. Xingyun* is so rich! “
*(兴云) The full idiom is Xingyun brings rain which metaphorically refers to music, poetry and prose are magnificent and outstanding. From the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Emperor Xiaoming Ji. || In this context, it’s just praising Shen Jintai.
“Xingyun was founded by the second son of the Zhao family. He’s also a great man, and not in any way inferior to Prince Yan.”
“You are dead. You dare to mention Prince Yan in a Touhua’s post. The gold powders will tear you apart!”
After this comment came out, gold powder “hugged their brother and didn’t make an appointment”.
As a staunch defender of JinQiu CP, every time Mrs. Yan sees such comments, her mood becomes complicated. She felt that it was difficult for Yan Qiuchi to catch Shen Jintai. Not only did he need to catch Shen Jintai, he had to deal with netizens as well.
When she watched the trailer for she felt that Bai Qingquan and Shen Jintai were a good match. Just looking at their appearance with their school uniform on gave them a clean and youthful look that felt right.
Not only did Mrs. Yan think it felt right, but even netizens thought they were eye-catching. Bai Qingquan and Shen Jintai were the best matches among the little fresh meat.
“Touhua really has a CP physique. The ancient costume matches Zheng Siqi’s face, and the modern drama matches Bai Qingquan’s face!”
“The most amazing thing is that when he was with Zheng Siqi, it was clearly established who was the gong and the shou. Now when he’s with Bai Qingquan, there’s also a clearly established gong and shou, but they’re reversed. Hahahaha!”
“Hahahaha, are you saying that Bai Qingquan is the shou? I have wanted to say this for a long time. He really looks like a shou, but the moonlight powders doesn’t want to admit it.”
Moonlight powders responded immediately. “Shou my ass! My brother is a straight man!”
Every time Bai Qingquan saw similar comments, he couldn’t help but become melancholic. He wondered if he pretended to be straight too hard and that there was never any same-sex scandal that involved him. As a gay in the entertainment industry, there would be at least some same-sex rumors, but he remained squeaky clean. He had no rumored boyfriend or girlfriend, as the fans believed he was still a good virgin. Truthfully, he was.
Recently, he was filming love scenes with Shen Jintai. During such a scene, when he was about to make a move, his heart would feel as if it was bursting when he got close to Shen Jintai, even though he was acting with a sister.
“Cut!”
Sun Sihai stood up and said, “Qingquan, this one didn’t work just now. You have to look into Jintai’s eyes.”
“I’m sorry.” Bai Qingquan smiled shyly.
Shen Jintai laughed as he pulled up the schoolbag on his shoulder.
It’s only been a few days since filming started, and he had already accumulated another six points towards his beauty reward. He felt that every time he shot a passionate scene with Bai Qingquan, Xiao Ai would jump out and give him extra points. Even if it wasn’t love, it had to mean Bai Qingquan’s impression of him was improving! He must keep being persistent!
“You have to let go,” Shen Jintai said.
Bai Qingquan blushed slightly and said, “I’m not used to filming this kind of drama with men. Unlike you, who have experience from filming The East Palace.”
Shen Jintai laughed. “If you want, I can teach you some lessons.”
The photographers next to him all laughed. Sun Sihai chuckled and said, “You’re just flirting now, aren’t you?”
Luo Wensheng was a master flatterer. He was lively and cheerful and always cracked funny jokes. Contrasted, Yu Nuo was relatively reserved. The personalities of Shen Jintai and Bai Qingquan match these two roles perfectly.
“Come on, let’s do it again,” Sun Sihai said.
Bai Qingquan hurriedly said, “Wait a minute. I need to find that feeling.”
It wasn’t as if Bai Qingquan was incapable of acting. After all, he had been pretending to be a straight man all this time, and he was vigilant about keeping things that were same-sex related concealed tightly in his heart. In front of so many people, he was worried he would reveal too much of his true desire for men.
Wuwuwu. What would people think if they saw him acting like such a slut?! Moments like these were when he especially envied Shen Jintai. Everyone knew that Shen Jintai liked men so he could perform without burden. He could be bold and direct and act as how a vigorous teenage boy should.
When the camera was filming, Bai Qingquan felt numb when Shen Jintai’s hand touched him. It wasn’t like he had never filmed a love scene before. He had even filmed a kissing scene with an actress once. Wuwuwu. Thinking about that made him want to cry again. His first kiss was dedicated to a woman!
Filming intimate scenes with an actress turns out to be completely different from doing it with men. His gayness was innate. Even with a touch of a finger, it felt completely different. His hands would go numb, and his heart would feel itchy. Even if the actor playing against him, was Shen Jintai. He collided with the deer in his heart*.
*(小鹿乱撞) Describes rapid beating of the heart because of fear, but later used to describe the pounding feeling between men and women, but in this case it’s between two men.
“Give Bai Qingquan a close-up,” Sun Sihai said as he looked closely at Bai Qingquan’s face. “It’s a good performance. Look at the cramped and unbearable look in his eyebrows!”
Bai Qingquan’s spring heart rippled as he tried his best to suppress it. It came out naturally and was uncontrolled. From Sun Hai’s point of view, this was all because of his acting skills.
This straight man acting is so realistic! Such good acting skills!
Sun Hai felt that Shen Jintai also acted well. Luo Wensheng was already in love with Yu Nuo from the very start. He secretly touched Yu Nuo’s hand to tease him. From a reality perspective, it looked as if Shen Jintai really wanted to tease Bai Qingquan!
With such good acting skills from these two young actors, Sun Hai could be a worry-free director! It was as if their acting were real-life!
Mrs. Yan, who came to visit the set, was horrified when she watched from the side. The two of them seemed to be such a perfect match that even she wanted to support the BaiJin CP. She wasn’t sure if it was because of the influence of the character filters. When she read the original work for she found the story to be very touching.
was an adaptation of . The interesting thing about this was not only was the plot touching, but it also had a big twist.
The context had a slightly sci-fi setting where the protagonist, Yu Nuo, was a man who would never grow old. He had a lover of the same sex named Luo Wensheng, who was an ordinary man. The start showed a scene of Luo Wensheng running away from home, and Yu Nuo had called the police to search for him.
It turned out that Luo Wensheng was an old man with gray hair, while Yu Nuo still looked like he was only in his twenties. The old Luo Wensheng didn’t want to burden the young Yu Nuo, and he couldn’t accept that he was getting old in front of his lover. After he slipped and hurt himself in the bathroom, Luo Wensheng ran away from home.
Yu Nuo was finally able to find him a few years later. At that point, Luo Wensheng was so bedridden that he no longer recognized his lover. The two spent their last moments together as Luo Wensheng finally died in Yu Nuo’s arms.
This was the epitome of the novel, summarizing the title of the book: “When my lover gets old, I will still be as beautiful as a flower.” This was a tragic story of young and old love.
Under the sci-fi setting, Yu Nuo, who would never grow old, lived out his days alone for years until finally technology had advanced to the point where time travel became a reality. Even after decades and hundreds of years, he still missed Luo Wensheng, so Yu Nuo traveled back to the day they met. That same day where he was only sixteen and Luo Wensehng was seventeen.
They started falling in love on campus and walked hand-in-hand for another lifetime.
From the reader’s perspective, they would think this was simply a story about traveling to the past to meet your lover again. Until they realized that the scene they read at the beginning had been repeated. Luo Wensehng once again ran away, and Yu Nuo called the police to search for him.
Only then did the readers get the full picture that this wasn’t Yu Nuo’s first time traveling back. The story at the beginning was already one of his countless crossings. This was a story about a man who would never grow old and was constantly traveling back in time so he could embrace his lover just once more.
“My only promise for the rest of my life is to run towards Luo Wensheng.”
The abuse made the liver tremble. When this movie was released, Mrs. Yan believed that there would be a huge rise in BaiJin CP fans. The level of abuse inflicted by this pair was comparable to that of Jintai Qiongying.
After returning home from visiting the set, Mrs. Yan waited in the living room until Yan Qiuchi came back from work. “Come here. I have something to tell you.”
Yan Qiuchi walked over.
She asked Yan Qiuchi, “What’s your situation now? Don’t you plan to chase him?”
Yan Qiuchi said, “I’ve been busy lately.”
“I went to visit the set today and saw Xiao Jin acting against Bai Qingquan. I feel that after filming this movie, the two of them will be able to get along much better.”
Yan Qiuchi also knew he had to act with haste. He was also extremely anxious because he hadn’t been sleeping well. Bai Qingquan and Shen Jintai could determine their relationship at any moment.
Shen Jintai was now filming in Nancheng, so distance wasn’t an issue. In fact, just yesterday, they were filming in a small restaurant that was less than 2 kilometers from his company. He had secretly driven to the scene. The staff had closed off the streets, and people were gathered around watching them shoot. Fortunately, he was tall enough to stand above the crowd and look on. He saw Shen Jintai in a suit and tie filming a scene of him leaving work.
Shen Jintai was tall and slender, and he looked awfully handsome in the suit. The lights the crew shined on him made him look dazzling. Bai Qingquan was standing on the side of the road wearing a white shirt. Shen Jintai had put one hand in his pockets as he walked towards him with vigor, then directly grabbed his hand and walked forward with great strides.
This part of the movie should be where Luo Wensheng holds Yu Nuo in public for the first time. It was a very sweet scene, and Shen Jintai exuded a natural aggressive aura. After the director yelled “Cut!”, he let go of Bai Qingquan’s hand and smiled. When Yan Qiuchi saw that smile, he heard a nearby auntie say, “A star is truly a star. Why does he look so good?”
Yan Qiuchi also thought: ‘Why is he so beautiful?’
He thought Shen Jintai was 10,000 times better-looking than Bai Qingquan. He had that confident, seductive aura. Every frown and every smile were charming and touched his heart deeply. His love was only growing stronger, and it had invaded his dreams.
Unfortunately, his confession was rejected. The only reason everyone could still be friends was because he was still a gentleman and his love was restrained. If he forcibly pursued Shen Jintai, he would categorically get rejected…
The result of a face-to-face confrontation may cause Shen Jintai to start avoiding him in the future. It wasn’t that Yan Qiuchi didn’t dare to chase; he just couldn’t find a reason to chase. He needed a grandiose-sounding reason to start his pursuit.
The author has something to say:
Xiao Qi, come on, give him one.
