note: there’s a lot of internet slang that i don’t understand, so keep in mind i ended up modifying them quite a bit to forcefully smooth out the flow. i’m just going to tag them with a T/N [#] so you can figure the original out yourself if you want.

“Hahahaha, this part is really funny. I thought it was funny when I read it in the book at the time. Now that it’s filmed, and it really is funny.”

“Ling Qing’s acting is this good? Is he not a newcomer? Why do I feel like his acting skills have already reached perfection?”

“I understand why our Little Miss Qinqin didn’t want to show the video at first. Who wants to see herself being beaten on the head by a newcomer [covers face] Little Miss Qinqin do you still want your face?!”

“I’m so pissed! Qinqin worked so hard, she put so much effort into the film. Yet people actually dared to spread bad rumors about her and force her to bring out an embarrassing video to clarify. It’s really not easy for Qinqin!”

“These fakers can crawl to my grandpa[1]!! When this kind of thing happens, none of you want to scold the bad-mouthers. Instead, you all want to bully our Qin Yanyu and Ling Qing. Did they do anything wrong by diligently working overtime? No one listened to their explanations and chose to believe some shady video posted by who knows what.”

“How did people believe this? These haters clearly just grew a pole of insults out of nothing![2]”

“Now people are believing them. They needed proof of entry and exit time, needed video evidence of the three people working in the room, do these black-hearted haters have anything else to say? You can shut up now!”

“666, it’s still Qinqin who is amazing and recorded a video, otherwise these people still won’t know the difference between black and white. Until when are people going to keep fighting?”

“This…this video, hahaha, don’t worry Qinqin, we won’t laugh at you. We all think you are very good, very hard working! Super dedicated! Super cute!”

Qin Yanyu: …Really? If you hadn’t laughed so loudly, I might have believed it.

“You don’t say, it’s still Zhong Huan who’s miserable. Obviously, Zhong Huan was there from the beginning to the end, yet no one gave Zhong Huan have a name. What did Zhong Huan ever do? The script is too abusive.”

“Hahahahahaha, I feel sorry for Zhong Huan. He even came out to make his presence known only to end up being mocked for giving a false statement, accused of being a liar. He’s seriously too miserable.”

“I can’t– At this rate, I’m going to die of laughter because of Zhong Huan. I’m going to follow him now. This little brother’s life is too difficult.”

“I envy the Peach Blossom crew. The actors are all so serious. They are still rehearsing after work. It’s been so long since I’ve seen such a dedicated crew.”

“I still find it very strange that Ling Qing’s acting is so good? Are all newcomers monsters?”

“Yeah, his acting in that scene is too clever. He doesn’t seem like a newcomer at all…”

“To be able to make Qin Yanyu and Zhong Huan take the initiative to find him for rehearsals, and to even allow him to guide them, Ling Qing is too good.”

“To be honest, after just watching this video, I thought that Ling Qing was the senior. He is really… too convincing.”

“Fuck, I didn’t believe that Qin Yanyu and Ling Qing were a couple, but now after watching this video, I actually think that these two are a bit good [covers face].”

“Me too, I also think these two are a bit sweet, especially when Ling Qing knocked Qin Yanyu with the fan. He Chaoyang likes to knock Zhao Anning like this.”

“Ling Qing is so handsome. On him, both ancient and current clothes are so handsome. It’s so rare…”

Qin Yanyu’s video was obviously beyond everyone’s expectations, and the melon-eaters never thought that she had this card up her sleeve.

All of them gave thumbs up, expressing admiration.

At this time, even if there were haters jumping up and down expressing their disbelief, Qin Yanyu and Ling Qing fans didn’t need to make their move. The melon-eater netizens all scolded them back one by one, scolded them until the Qin Yanyu and Ling Qing fans were satisfied.

Seeing this, the crew’s publicity team immediately let the staff put together a short 40-second teaser.

That afternoon, as soon as the editing was finished the clip was sent out. They were going to use the ongoing drama to rile up hype for the show.

Netizens had just finished eating their melons in the morning and were about to stop when they saw someone shouting “Big news!! The trailer for《March Peach Blossom Smile》got released!! It’s gorgeous!!”

And so, the netizens who had just put down their melon rinds picked up a new melon as they opened up the new trailer.

“Fuck!!! It’s so pretty!!! I knew Qin Yanyu’s costume was going to be beautiful, but I didn’t know that Ling Qing’s costume could be so handsome!”

“My God!! Ling Qing is not a newcomer, right? How could he be a newcomer with that expression and posture? The male god is facing me directly!”

“Ah, ah, ah, this male god is putting my life on the line ah! This image, my life is gone![3]”

“I’m dead. I’ve died under the glamor of my male god, ying ying ying…[4]”

“I finally understand where Ling Qing’s fans came from. His ancient costume is too handsome. My hand slipped and joined this fan base on accident, but now I can’t get out.”

“The black clothes are handsome, the white clothes are gentle and mild, the two sets of looks are super revitalizing ah ah ah ah! I don’t want to worship the male and female leads anymore, I want to worship the glorious immortal couple!”

“Upstairs poster worshiping the immortal couple, take me along! I also think I should worship the couple. “

“Isn’t there anyone else who also thinks that Ling Qing and Zhong Huan should be worshiped? In the trailer fight scene, both of them are so handsome. From rivals in love to lovers, how moving!”

“I think both of them are good, I can ship Ling Qing with all![5]”

“Let’s go, keep it going!”

Very soon, the trailer of《March Peach Blossom Smile》sat in the firmly hot search and Ling Qing’s fan base skyrocketed. Ling Qing looked at his Weibo and smiled with satisfaction.

Although the scandal between him and Qin Yanyu was a little unexpected, this scandal brought him into the spotlight of the entertainment industry, even turning many passerbys into his fans.

‘Not bad,’ Ling Qing thought. The current development is smoother than he expected.

Qin Yanyu and Zhong Huan also quickly gained followers from this day’s events. Although their increase in fans wasn’t as much as Ling Qing’s growth, it was still favorable exposure for them.

The momentum was so powerful, that haters jumped out at night and said that this series of scenes were not really performed by the three of them.

“First they release a scandal. Directly after, the netizens are thrown into a hot discussion so the two main leads and Zhong Huan can refute the rumors. Immediately after that, the trailer came out. So quick, was all this really not planned? One piece after another; just piece the puzzle, then piece it again, and piece it one more time!”

This angered the fans of Qin Yanyu, Ling Qing, and Zhong Huan to chase after the haters and give them a rage-filled scolding, scold them to the point where they were trembling in fear. It was then that the internet finally regained peace.

After a few more days of filming, Ling Qing finally got an afternoon off, so he decided to give his two disciples a holiday, “I’m going out today, so you two are free today.”

Qin Yanyu thought that he would go looking for Yu Chen, so her expression was a little distressed.

On the other hand, Zhong Huan didn’t know anything, so he asked earnestly, “Where are you going? Is there an event?”

“Going to chat with my brother.” Ling Qing said.

Zhong Huan was surprised, “You still have a younger brother?”

“En.”

Not just one. Two, even!

Ling Qing sighed, said goodbye to Qin Yan and Zhong Huan, then gave Xiao Liu another half-day off before changing into normal clothing and leaving the set.

He didn’t rush to find Shu Tong and asked the driver to take him to Yu Chen first.

Yu Chen had just finished processing the documents of the planning department and was about to ask the secretary to bring him a cup of coffee when he heard the phone on the table ring. The secretary respectfully said, “Mr. Yu, Mr. Ling Qing is looking for you.”

Yu Chen was taken aback for a moment, then said quickly, “Let him in.”

The secretary hung up the phone and led him towards Yu Chen’s office.

It wasn’t until Ling Qing entered the door that the secretary frowned and secretly wondered why Ling Qing had come to find Yu Chen.

Do they know each other? Are they friends?

Secretary Sun didn’t know, but it didn’t prevent her from secretly sharing this gossip with her best friend group.

Pretty Sun: 【!!! Shock! Ling Qing, who was rumored to have an affair with Qin Yanyu, actually came to find our boss! 】

Beautiful Li:【You mean your Boss Yu? 】

Pretty Sun:【Of course, who else could it be? 】

Untroubled Wang:【Did you see clearly? Is Ling Qing really as good-looking as the video? 】

Pretty Sun:【See clearly, my God, he is so handsome!!! Even more handsome than our company’s previous spokesperson!! Was he just here to talk about endorsements? 】

Pretty Sun:【It seems that our company is going to release new products, but he shouldn’t be here for that. Shouldn’t the endorsements be negotiated by an agent? How could he be the one to discuss them? 】

Untroubled Wang: 【Could it be that he simply came to find Boss Yu? They are friends, or something like that. 】

Pretty Sun: 【That’s also possible! The handsome guy’s friend is also a handsome guy. Don’t know what kind of girl our top-tier handsome Boss Yu will want.】

Beautiful Li: 【Maybe he’ll want a man [amused face] [amused face]】

Untroubled Wang: 【Maybe it’s Ling Qing [amused face]】

Pretty Sun: 【Fuck! President gong x star actor shou, I can ship! 】

Beautiful Li: 【Don’t forget to find some nourishment for your brain.】

Untroubled Wang: 【kswl, kswl! [6]】

Yu Chen looked at the person in front of him and said in surprise, “Why are you here?”

“Surprise!” Ling Qing laughed.

He walked to Yu Chen’s desk and asked, “Are you busy today?”

“It’s okay.”

“Then you finish your work first, and in the afternoon, accompany me to see Shu Tong.”

Yu Chen understood, “You’re going to tell Shu Tong about his family today.”

“Yes.”

“Okay, I’ll go with you.”

“You finish your work first,” Ling Qing insisted. “I’m a little sleepy, going to borrow your sofa for a bit.”

Yu Chen stood up. “Don’t sleep on the sofa, I have a bed here.”

He walked to the bedroom in his office, opened the door, and gestured to Ling Qing: “Sleep here.”

Ling Qing didn’t bother being polite and followed him in.

Although the bedroom in the office can’t compare to the bedroom at home, everything here was compact and complete; there was a bed, a bathroom, a wardrobe, and a bedside table; the room didn’t miss a thing.

Yu Chen opened the closet, “If you want to change into pajamas, you can choose a pair. They’re all new.”

Ling Qing took a look and chose a pair, “This one should be fine.”

“Then you go take a rest,” Yu Chen said.

When Ling Qing heard those words, he stretched out his arms, hooked Yu Chen’s neck, and said with a smile, “Aren’t you going to sleep with me?”

Yu Chen looked at his curved eyes and said deliberately, “Do you want me to join you?”

“Why do you always ask me a question back? I asked you first so you answer my question first.”

Ling Qing hooked their hands and shook it a bit, “So are you joining or not?”

Yu Chen looked at him, then suddenly captured his shoulder, pushed the other back, and directly kissed him.

Ling Qing didn’t expect the kiss, but he smiled unconsciously, hugged his neck, and kissed him back.

Yu Chen pressed Ling qing into his arms, wrapped his arms around his waist, and bit his lips lightly.

After they broke apart, Ling Qing’s lips also became vibrant red, bright and full. A sheen gloss coated his lips.

Yu Chen couldn’t help but kiss him again. Ling Qing nipped his lower lip.

Yu Chen wasn’t annoyed. He pressed him into his arms, and said warmly, “I’ll join.”
