Love Rival Is Getting Prettier Everyday - Chap 214

Chapter 214: Bai Qingquan, Who Wants to Be Crooked
As soon as Shi Lei laid down, he heard the door open. Before he got up, he noticed that someone had already climbed onto his bed. He stretched out his hand to turn on the bedside lamp and heard a voice say, “It’s me.”

It was Bai Qingquan.

Bai Qingquan said, “Are you going to sleep?”

Shi Lei turned on the light and saw Bai Qingquan sitting on his bed, looking at him with a smile.

“Something wrong?”

“No, I want to chat with you. Are you going to sleep?”

“Don’t you have to get up early tomorrow morning to film?”

“You turn off the light and let me tell you something.”

Shi Lei smiled. The pajamas he was wearing were a bit small, and the buttons were not all fastened, exposing his sturdy chest. His pecs were clearly contoured, making him look especially strong and healthy.

Shi Lei stretched out his hand and turned off the lamp.

Bai Qingquan said, “You lie down.”

Shi Lei obeyed. As soon as he lay down, Bai Qingquan rushed into him. Shi Lei stretched out his arm and hugged him with a slight force as he embraced Bai Qingquan.

Bai Qingquan was lying on top of him; their chests were pressed against each other, and they could feel each other’s violent heartbeat. They didn’t need to say anything, as their heartbeat seemed to be talking for them.

“What’s the matter?” Shi Lei asked.

“Nothing.” Bai Qingquan’s face was flushed as he laid on him and said, “I just want to talk to you.”

“Being naughty again?” Shi Lei asked in a low voice.

Bai Qingquan continued lying on him without speaking. Shi Lei stretched out his hand to hold his face, forcing him to look up. He held it for a while before suddenly kissing him fiercely.

Bai Qingquan finally got his wish. Although he came here suddenly, it was impossible to have sex now. However, there were many things that could be done besides sex.

He wasn’t sure why, but for a ruffian man like Shi Lei, he was very patient. Besides kissing, they didn’t do anything else. Bai Qingquan thought that since he had delivered himself to the door, he didn’t care whether he was being proactive or not. Who knew that as soon as he stretched his hand out, Shi Lei held it in place and wouldn’t let it move further?

“Wait until you have a rest day,” Shi Lei panted and said. “I’m afraid you can’t bear it.”

Without waiting for Bai Qingquan to speak, he continued, “I’m a bit big.”

Bai Qingquan exploded all at once. His mind was completely blank, and his face was hot. He thought he must have turned so red that he was dripping in blood. All his strength to attack suddenly drained.

They both had the same feelings and desires, and neither of them was particularly abstinent, so it was impossible to fall asleep while lying together. Bai Qingquan finally went back to his room, and as soon as he left, Shi Lei immediately went to the bathroom.

Bai Qingquan was lying in bed with a smirk on his face. He didn’t know what he was doing. He just felt that his heart was full, very excited, and very happy. This emotion made him drowsy, and it was not until late into the night that he gradually fell asleep.

“Report! Shen Jintai and Zheng Siqi really went to the Ming Palace crew to make a cameo appearance!”

“Shit. Is it real or not? This East Palace girl is going to cry!”

“It’s true. I saw that both the gold powders and the fresh powders confirmed it.”

“It seems that everyone from the eight groups* has come out.”

*Referring to Douban, which is similar to Reddit.

“The sisters upstairs pointed the way.”

“Let me just say that the two of them will definitely make cameos. Not mentioning their relationship with Bai Qingquan, just for Guo Rui and Meng Xiaosheng, they will go. Especially Touhua. If it weren’t for Meng Xiaosheng’s preference for Li Xu, how would he have the status he has today.”

“Whether it’s confirmed or not, I’m still excited. Just the thought of the three of them appearing in a costume drama again turned me into a groundhog!”

“It seems that Bai Qingquan is going to soar this year. There’s no need to worry about the ratings for this drama. With Sunshine Media’s backing, the quality is guaranteed. In addition, Guo Rui and Meng Xiaosheng are the golden pair. I’m optimistic he’ll return to the top again.”

“Your district often talks about this top stream and that top stream. Is the top stream a group of people or a single person?”

“It should be referring to a top-level traffic. It means the most popular stars. Among male stars, Zheng, Bai, and Shen are the top streams. For women, it’s Yang Lizhi. They’re popular and have many fans, so they have strong combat effectiveness in terms of topicality.”

“I vaguely remember that when they first debuted on , Shen Jintai and Bai Qingquan were evenly matched. It was wonderful for the fans to tear each other apart. Now that the gold powder is dominant, I hope Bai Qingquan can recover his blood with the help of !”

“Even if he regains his blood, moonlight powder and gold powder won’t tear each other up anymore. After all, the relationship between the three masters of the East Palace isn’t a plastic flower friendship. The cooking for their relationship is so good that all their fans are harmonious together.”

“Instead of looking forward to these two tearing each other up, it’s better to look forward to the second season of . Isn’t it about to start? I hope they can make another top stream!”

“Since Bai Qingquan has joined the crew and is a simultaneous film and broadcast, he won’t have time to go and be a mentor for the second season, right? Will Touhua go? After all, it’s his husband’s variety show.”

“Touhua shouldn’t go either. His current path is towards being a movie actor. I heard that among all the young stars, he has first dibs on any new projects. If he doesn’t want it, then it’ll be passed to other stars. Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, it’s also true that Touhua’s film resources are pretty good.”

“At the Venice Film Festival in September, was shortlisted as the main competition. Following such principle, it would mean he’s also shortlisted. Touhua’s expected to win best actor at the Venice Film Festival.”

“Thank you all. I’ve been waiting for this moment. Is the movie finally going to be released? Touhua’s about to enter the international market!”

“ should be the last TV series that Touhua will act in for the next few years. I don’t know what role he’ll be playing. There’s also Zheng Siqi, the only straight man among the three masters of the East Palace.”

“Hahahaha, three friends, but two bottoms.”

“Do you think it is possible that Zheng Siqi is gay? He gets along so well with BaiShen!”

“It is unacceptable that Zheng Siqi is gay. Please leave a handsome guy for our star-chasing girl!”

This was usually the case on the entertainment forum. While chatting, the topic often deviates. Everyone was talking with relish as they continued to gossip when suddenly a few groundhogs broke in.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.”

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

“Are the sisters upstairs crazy?”

“Look what this is?!”

Immediately afterwards, someone posted a URL. Everyone followed it and found that it was a video. Under the rising sun, a crew was filming nervously. The camera swayed slightly as it pointed to a group of actors. In the group, there were three young men who looked exceptionally tall and fair. Shen Jintai was dressed in red, Zheng Siqi was dressed in white, and Bai Qingquan was dressed in purple. Their beauty and brilliance reflected each other.

had started its hot search journey.

Yang Lizhi was painting her nails at home and recently had nothing to do but browse Weibo. Seeing the hot search [The three masters of the East Palace reunion], she sighed as she said to her best friend, “I don’t think it’s a problem for the three of them to remain popular for another ten years as long as they stay as this group.”

She was envious. They were similar in age, had similar reputations, and were mutually beneficial to each other. Whether from personal feelings or business interests, these three should be together for a long time.

Such a harmonious friendship was too rare nowadays. The entertainment industry was riddled with plastic flowers friendship, but only these three seemed real.

Today at the film and television city, the liveliest crew was the crew. Even the crew from nearby had people running over to watch. After all, there were currently three top talents that had gathered, including two film emperors.

The first scene to be filmed today is the flower banquet for the scholars. There were countless handsome young actors, but in Shi Lei’s opinion, the best-looking was Bai Qingquan in his purple robe.

He had a figure that was naturally suitable for wearing ancient costumes, especially the robes of the Tang Dynasty with their round necks and narrow sleeves. It made him look exceptionally clean and beautiful. The addition of the white collar showed off his beautiful and abstemious temperament.

This was a big scene, so it had to be shot very slowly. It took more than an hour of continuous shooting to complete a single long shot.

Guo Rui loved taking long shots. This one was designed by him and the cameraman overnight. It was a one-and-a-half-minute long shot from the city of Chang’an to the Xinglin Garden. It not only reproduced the glory of the Tang Dynasty, but it also connected Bai Qingquan, Zheng Siqi, and Shen Jintai, who were not all currently present at the same occasion.

With three handsome men, three different kinds of beauty, the opening of could only be described as grand and magnificent.

Shi Lei couldn’t stay on set all the time. He also had a job. As it was autumn, this was the busiest time of the year for his remodeling company. What was more, Bai Qingquan was seriously filming. While they were happy to be together, they also felt a bit tortured as well. After much discussion, Shi Lei would head back.

Once he left, it was estimated that the two would not see each other for a long time, so, taking advantage while Shi Lei was still here, Bai Qingquan went to see him as soon as he went on break. Shi Lei looked at him with bright eyes and said, emotionally, “You look really good in ancient clothes.”

The most beautiful man in an ancient costume in the entertainment industry. This title was not just praised by fans, but everyone recognized it.

When he said this, Bai Qingquan suddenly thought of something. After Shi Lei returned, he talked to Xiao Feng and had him order a hanfu* for him.

*Traditional style of clothing worn by the Han Chinese.

“I want a red robe with a round neck and narrow sleeves, exquisite workmanship, and embroidery with golden peony flowers,” Bai Qingquan instructed. “It needs to be matching, from both inside and out, as well as the boots. It has to be exquisite. It doesn’t matter how much it cost.”

Xiao Feng didn’t understand his reasoning, so he just nodded and complied.

That day, Shi Lei had to go back. Bai Qingquan couldn’t leave the set, so he couldn’t go with him to drop him off at the airport. He could only take him to the gate of the film and television city. The gate of the city was bustling with people coming and going, so he couldn’t get out of the car. Bai Qingquan hated partings the most. While at first, he didn’t feel anything, when Shi Lei was about to get out of the car, he couldn’t stand it, and he hugged him tightly and wouldn’t let him go.

The two kissed for what seemed like forever until they finally tired. Xiao Feng quietly sat in the front with his face completely flushed.

“I’ll call you when I have time,” Shi Lei said.

Bai Qingquan let out a “Nn” and let go of his hand after seeing that he would miss his plane if he was delayed any longer.

They had become so attached that even a tough guy like Shi Lei had inadvertently softened his heart.

“Bro… Brother Quan, the crew is urging,” Xiao Feng said cautiously.

Shi Lei got out of the car, and Bai Qingquan watched him get into the taxi through the window. If he could, he really wanted to be with Shi Lei every day.

He really liked the feeling of being crooked. Right now, he and Shi Lei still had two hurdles left to cross, so they were still separated by a layer.

First, they hadn’t revealed their relationship yet, so they had to sneak around, which meant they had less time to spend together.

Second, the two of them were only hugging and kissing. They hadn’t even deeply embraced, let alone gone for the home run.

When they could fall in love freely, like fish mingling in water, they would be so much happier, no matter how crooked they are. At least their mind and body would be ironed together. Just this thought made Bai Qingquan very happy.

Bai Qingquan had been filming with the crew for more than half a month. Before the broadcast of started, he returned to Nancheng for a three-day vacation.

He felt that he wasn’t being reserved this time. Ever since that night at the hotel, with what he saw through the crack of the bathroom door and the vulgar language that Shi Lei would say to him almost every night when they talked on the phone, he felt he couldn’t wait until the filming of to finish filming and he couldn’t wait for the new house to be fully ventilated.

He took the first step over Shi Lei because he couldn’t help it. He wanted it.

“I asked you to order a custom-made hanfu for me. Is it ready?” he asked while sitting in the car as it drove back to Nancheng.

Wei Ge asked, “Why do you want a hanfu?”

“During this filming, I found that the ancient costumes of the Tang Dynasty were better-looking than those of the other dynasties I’ve filmed, so I asked Xiao Feng to order one for me so I can wear it myself,” Bai Qingquan said with a blushing face.

“It’s already been ordered. You can pick it up when you arrive in Nancheng today,” Xiao Feng said.

Bai Qingquan nodded, pursed his thin lips, and looked out the window. His side face was exceptionally pure and beautiful. He was getting older with each passing day, so he had to take advantage of the youngest and best time of his life and get more crooked with Shi Lei.

Hanfu play is here NOW.
