The Nutrition is Too Good - Chap 47 Extra 1

After Zhong Yi voluntarily revealed his romantic relationship, the identity of his young boyfriend naturally became the subject of scrutiny by netizens.

Everyone knows that this boy named Rong Mian is a newcomer actor who recently collaborated with Zhong Yi in a web drama with dual male leads. Moreover, he is very low-key and rarely uses Weibo.

It wasn’t until June or July that a sports adventure-themed online variety show in which Rong Mian participated started airing on the platform, and people got to know him better.

The audience found that this boy seemed a bit shy and taciturn, often lost in thought by himself.

However, during mealtimes, he would put on a completely different energetic face.

He would stack his plate with food very high and, while others were striving for screen time and topics of conversation, he would silently eat all the food in his bowl, focusing on his meal.

Interestingly, this boy named Rong Mian has exceptional athletic ability. In the variety show, he always easily excelled in the sports competitions set up.

Therefore, Rong Mian created many awe-inspiring moments in the program because he really runs fast, often causing the cameramen to lose track of him during tasks.

This interesting contrast has actually increased Rong Mian’s popularity among ordinary people and viewers.

Zhong Yi, on the other hand, is not as comfortable. When participating in various activities, he has to deal with some troublesome media.

During interviews, the media would question how Zhong Yi and Rong Mian developed their relationship, and Zhong Yi would smile and say they met through their work.

When asked specifically where they first met, Zhong Yi would honestly reply, “In the restroom.”

Often, at this point, reporters would suspect if they had upset Zhong Yi and quickly change the topic, asking about Zhong Yi’s experience as a new cat owner.

Zhong Yi would still smile and say his cat is well-behaved and easy to take care of. Reporters would then ask the name of his cat, to which Zhong Yi would reply, “Mian Mian.”
In the eyes of others, Zhong Yi effortlessly showcased a wave of affectionate moments while casually conversing. After the entire interview was published, it naturally became a hot topic, with some people feeling bitter and others envious.

Later, their crime investigation web drama also premiered, with the entire cast delivering excellent performances and engaging plotlines. Shi Chen’s acting was praised for its rapid improvement, and the plot twist regarding Shen Yan’s true identity left people amazed.

Scenes of Rong Mian and Zhong Yi’s interactions were cut frame by frame and repeatedly analyzed by viewers because their on-screen and off-screen chemistry was remarkable.

For the audience, Zhong Yi is an outstanding actor they can always trust, and for Rong Mian, Zhong Yi is also a great partner.

The only downside is that Zhong Yi is too famous, especially after their relationship became public. Countless media outlets attempted to capture them together and spread the images across the internet.

The two of them have always had a very open attitude towards each other. It’s just that recently, there has been an increase in the popularity of Rong Mian. So, whenever Zhong Yi is filming a new movie, Rong Mian’s visits to the set will be monitored by paparazzi, and they will write all sorts of nonsense on Weibo, indirectly affecting the progress of the production.

Therefore, Zhong Yi came up with a brilliant solution later on, which is to bring Rong Mian, who can transform into a cat, to the set.

This way, when Zhong Yi is filming, Rong Mian can patrol inside the RV, leaving their scent in various corners and then sleeping on a soft cushion or in a paper bag.

By the time Zhong Yi returns to the car at noon, Rong Mian’s fur will be warmed and softened by the sun, carrying the scent of sunshine.

Rong Mian will raise their face and affectionately lick Zhong Yi’s fingers. After a morning of filming, Zhong Yi will take a deep breath and silently activate the “cat sucking mode.”
Of course, cats can truly capture your heart and make it itch, but occasionally, their thoughts can reach heights that you cannot comprehend.

For example, Zhong Yi bought a cat tree and a scratching board, but every time Rong Mian sharpens their claws, they always choose to use the expensive sofa in the house.

Moreover, Rong Mian always ventures into extreme and high-risk areas, such as jumping back and forth on top of bookshelves or the refrigerator. Just by watching, Zhong Yi’s heartbeat accelerates and their scalp tingles.

Rong Mian won’t drink the clean water specially prepared for them in a small bowl. Instead, they insist on burying their head in Zhong Yi’s cup and secretly licking a couple of sips of cold tea before starting to groom their own paws.

And Zhong Yi’s data cables have already been chewed up by Rong Mian, about four or five of them.

Zhong Yi would consider these as a sweet burden exclusive to being a cat owner, but sometimes, they would also argue over trivial matters.
For example, on this morning, while they were having breakfast in the restaurant, they started talking about Rong Mian’s upcoming birthday.

“Every year, Sandou on my birthday, she would give me a large water bottle. She said it’s her personal collection,” Rong Mian said.

“Sigua and Wukui have less pocket money, so they would pool their resources to buy me a gift together. As for Pijiu and Máodòu, they usually give me a felt doll made from their own fur. As for Uncle Yun, Uncle Yun …”

Before Zhong Yi could hear the second half of the sentence, he saw Rong Mian, who was sitting across from them, suddenly put down his chopsticks.

First, he stared blankly at his breakfast for three seconds, then he covered his mouth with his hand, got up, ran to the bathroom behind them, bent over, and started vomiting.

Zhong Yi was completely shocked by this sudden turn of events.
Rong Mian has a big appetite and is sensitive to heat. During the summer, he would have an ice cream ball almost every day. When he were filming a variety show recently and felt tired, he would have two cans of canned food as a snack while video calling Zhong Yi.
Now, it’s already early autumn, and the temperature has cooled down a bit. But Zhong Yi noticed that Rong Mian hasn’t reduced his consumption of cold food these past few days, which made him feel both angry and concerned.

After taking some gastrointestinal medicine with warm water, Rong Mian sat on the sofa, holding his stomach, looking wilted, and unable to speak.

Zhong Yi took a deep breath and said, “I declare that the ice cream ban is now officially in effect, and you can’t just eat meat every day anymore. You must eat at least one bowl of boiled vegetables and coarse grains every day…”

Rong Mian was not happy about it.

Although Zhong Yi looked angry, Rong Mian never made any concessions when it came to food. He stubbornly insisted that what he had just vomited was mostly cat hair, not food.

Zhong Yi always felt like he was lying.
But he couldn’t ask him to vomit again right there and then. So, the two of them were at a stalemate. Rong Mian went back to the bedroom, transformed back into a cat, and jumped onto the bookshelf, deliberately showing his backside to Zhong Yi’s face.

Zhong Yi couldn’t help but laugh and went straight to the study to read the script. The two of them were now in a cold war.
An hour later, Zhong Yi couldn’t bear it anymore.

After pondering for a moment, he went to the kitchen and poured a glass of water. He intended to take a peek at the bedroom door on his way back.

As soon as he turned around with the glass, he noticed a sneaky black cat head at the kitchen doorway, secretly staring at him.

The moment their eyes met, the little black cat immediately turned around in panic, wagging its tail, and ran away, disappearing in an instant.

Zhong Yi: “…”

As Zhong Yi walked out of the kitchen with the water, there was no movement in the living room. However, he knew Rong Mian well and knew that he was most likely hiding under the sofa, secretly observing.

Zhong Yi first pretended to casually pass by the sofa and walked to the staircase. Then, he began speaking to himself in a loud voice: “Ah, it’s been a while since I’ve seen the Little Bell collar…”

Zhong Yi was already quite certain in his heart, so he went straight upstairs and lay down in the bedroom.

Five minutes later, the little black cat walked into the bedroom, carrying the bell collar in its mouth and moving slowly.

It jumped onto Zhong Yi’s bed, placed the collar near Zhong Yi’s hand, and then turned around, curling up its limbs underneath its body. It formed a small ball next to Zhong Yi’s hand, still facing away from him with its backside.

Zhong Yi understood that this was a gesture of goodwill, so he suppressed his smile, picked up the collar, and put it on the cat.

Then Zhong Yi said, “Turn around.”

The little black cat twitched its ears but remained still. Zhong Yi sighed, got up from the bed, put on his shoes, and prepared to fetch the feather toy that Rong Mian liked to play with.

Then he heard Rong Mian call his name anxiously, “Zhong Yi.”

Zhong Yi was startled, turned around, and realized that Rong Mian had somehow transformed back into human form without him knowing when. He was lying naked in bed, still wearing the collar that Zhong Yi had just put on him with his own hands.

Rong Mian stared at Zhong Yi’s eyes for a moment, then wrinkled his face and sneezed.

“It’s cold,” he sniffed, and then said to Zhong Yi, “Don’t leave.”

This cold war lasted for a brief hour and a half, and Zhong Yi can be said to have lost completely.

Zhong Yi quickly wrapped Rong Mian tightly with the blanket, and the two of them lay facing each other in bed. Zhong Yi gently pressed Rong Mian’s abdomen with his palm, but remained silent.

Rong Mian stared at Zhong Yi’s face for a while, then snuggled closer into his embrace.

He obediently apologized, “I have been sneaking a lot of ice cream lately, but I won’t do it anymore.”

“I will also eat more vegetables,” he thought for a moment, then compromised with some difficulty, “But can you not make carrots and celery for me?”

“Let’s not quarrel.”

Rong Mian continued worriedly, “Sandou has been watching a lot of relationship mediation programs recently, and the couples in them always fight fiercely. I don’t like that.”

Zhong Yi responded, “…this isn’t a quarrel.”

“I’m just really worried about you,” Zhong Yi said.

Zhong Yi paused for a moment and said, “I just finished buying hair removal cream online. Maybe you’re right, it might not be because of the ice cream.”
Rong Mian looked at him and softly murmured, “Hmm.”
After a while, he moved in Zhong Yi’s embrace and then lifted his face, saying, “My neck feels uncomfortable.”

“The collar is a bit tight,” he said.

Only then did Zhong Yi remember this aspect.

When Rong Mian, in his cat form, wore the bell collar, he was an adorable little cat. However, in human form, it carried a slightly different meaning.

Since Rong Mian was currently not wearing any clothes, after Zhong Yi removed the collar, their breathing rates became a bit off.

After a moment of contemplation, Zhong Yi asked, “Are you still cold?”

Rong Mian hesitated for a moment and honestly replied, “Not really, I can go put on some clothes…”
Then Rong Mian paused, as if he suddenly realized something.

He trembled his eyelashes and then leaned closer, kissing the tip of Zhong Yi’s nose lightly, and asked him softly, “… Do you want me to wear it?”

“Sure,” Zhong Yi also kissed his eyes and said vaguely, “But it’s not necessary.”

Later, some media began to speculate that Zhong Yi’s relationship was just a publicity stunt for their new drama, and their current feelings were actually quite ordinary.

After all, since announcing their relationship, Zhong Yi himself rarely showed affection on social media, and most of the time on his Weibo, he posted about his cat.

Moreover, when Zhong Yi was filming his new drama, the media rarely captured Rong Mian visiting the set.

There were rumors that they were living together, while others said they had already secretly broken up, but none of these claims were substantiated. After all, the paparazzi spent half a day near the set every day and didn’t capture anything except for Zhong Yi acting and playing with his cat.

They only knew that Zhong Yi truly loved his cat.

Because when Zhong Yi had free time, he would cuddle and kiss the little black cat he raised, then hold it in his arms before finally picking up his phone to play games.

And while playing games, Zhong Yi would show the screen to the little thing in his arms, occasionally saying something as if asking for its opinion.

The media couldn’t imagine any explosive points worth digging into from such a boring set of candid photos.

So in the end, they could only change the title to: “Male Artist Actually Loves Playing Nail Art Games? – The Unexpected Side of Zhong Yi that You Can’t Imagine”

There should be an extra chapter in a couple of days~
