[One stone causes a thousand waves. Who would have thought that the King of Hell, who is usually indifferent to the camera, would help wash his partner’s underwear and undergarments behind their back!]

[Also, it started in high school……I’m crazily telling myself not to be jealous, 15551]

[Teacher Ruan pinched my brother’s face so easily.]

[Before, my brother used to affectionately call Teacher Ruan ‘Brother Song!’ Going crazy and banging on the table.jpg] sRMdPe

[This is a two-way relationship, right? Right! It has to be!!!]

[This is the first time I saw this side of my brother, this kind of ‘I’ll only treat you well, I ship it to death, wuwuwu]

[Before, he was a reticent wolfdog, but now he’s a clumsy and tender little puppy!]

[I’m starting to envy Teacher Ruan again. What should I do?! Burst into tears.jpg]

AXv1Hp

Before anyone could be envious for too long, Ren Qinming’s fan club suddenly released a Weibo post.

[@Ren Qinming Global Fan Club: When my brother’s relationship was exposed, we were also sad, but we remained silent from beginning to end because our brother’s journey has been tough and exhausting. We’re so used to seeing him in front of the camera that we almost forget he’s just an ordinary person with emotions and vulnerabilities. Thank you, Teacher Ruan, for agreeing to be on this variety show and allowing Ren Qinming to stand in front of us, not just as ‘Ren Qinming.’ Bouquet of flowers.jpg x3]

If it weren’t so moving, it would’ve been fine. But because it was simply too moving, it was as if a flood drowned the God of Rain’s temple.

The comment section was filled with tears. OmY90W

[That’s right, the Ren Qinming we see is grand and boundless, but the Ren Qinming Teacher Ruan sees is just an ordinary person in daily life. qaq]

[Ahh, how come I’ve suddenly been tricked into crying?]

[Although this is only my third year as a fan of Brother Ren and I can’t be compared to an old fan, I can still see how hard he has worked all along. wuwuwu]

[There’s irrefutable evidence of a two-way relationship. Accompanying you from the depths of silence to the summit, I can watch this kind of drama over a hundred times and never get tired of it, wiping my tears.jpg] dVJZh8

[No wonder my brother has never had a scandal since he debuted. His deep affection and loyalty are in his DNA. qaq]

[Someone previously spread rumors about my brother being involved in promiscuous activities. I wonder if their faces hurt now. Haters, open your eyes wide and see clearly, my brother’s heart belongs to only one person!!!]

[The most important thing is that Teacher Ruan is worth it, wuwuwu. Seeing the two of them together, I feel perfect.]

[This kind of atmosphere is incomparable to that of other celebrity couples in the entertainment industry. I ship it!] PM19Vj

[I once again want to know about Teacher Ruan’s profession! Exactly when will they announce it!!]

In a spacious study, the man, dressed in pajamas, sat in front of the computer. When he came across this comment, he paused his mouse and quickly messaged his assistant.

[Gu: Have you finished researching Ruan Song’s information?]

It was nearing 10 p.m. then, but the assistant’s speed in replying was still just as fast. nBtyfl

[Assistant Li: Sending it over to you now. [Document.pdf]]

[Assistant Li: If I’ve overlooked anything, do not hesitate to let me know.]

Gu Yuzhou’s fingertips were suspended over the keyboard as he hesitated for a moment.

[Gu: OK, you’ve worked hard.] F5GLWN

As the youngest in the Gu family, Gu Yuzhou has always been doted on by his father.

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

When his father learned that he was finally willing to return to China, he took the initiative to dispatch Assistant Li to him. Talk about putting a talented individual in an underappreciated position.

Naturally, this also explained why netizens couldn’t find any works written by Ruan Song as a screenwriter.

—Because when Ruan Song signed his scripts, he had never used his real name and had only used a pen name “Money.”

The name was taken from the earliest circulated paper currency in China and even in the world. O5HSN7

Although there wasn’t anything particularly notable under the pen name “Money,” they have written some TV dramas with an average rating of around seven on Douban.

But Assistant Li specifically emphasized the timeline.

The pen name “Money” only became active two years ago.

Based on the online findings, Ruan Song’s graduation thesis could be found, indicating that Ruan Song started practicing script writing with his teacher in freshman year and continued producing works until his graduate studies. Me7dPg

There was a six-year gap in between.

During these six years, either Ruan Song used other pen names that hadn’t been discovered or Ruan Song didn’t receive proper recognition, and therefore didn’t have the right to be credited.

Assistant Li quickly sent another file.

[Assistant Li: This is information regarding Ruan Song’s professor for his major. [Document.pdf]] JZGBE2

[Assistant Li: Not only was he Ruan Song’s professor, but he’s also the dean of the department. There is even a screenwriting studio under his name. His works usually score around an 8 on Douban. The quality is considerably high, and he’s also very famous in the industry. However, in the past twenty years, the dean has been the only one to sign and publish scripts in the studio.]

As soon as Gu Yuzhou’s mind stirred, he quickly thought of Ruan Song’s fierce resistance to his refusal to give signature rights.

[Gu: Do you suspect that this dean enslaved his students but didn’t give them signature rights?]

[Assistant Li: It’s not that he didn’t “give” it.] jh 6Np

[Assistant Li: More accurately, it falls under the category of making students act as ghostwriters, directly usurping their right to be credited.]

…………………..

In ‘19 Days of Cohabitation’s live stream, Ruan Song had already cornered Ren Qinming in the kitchen, and he obediently started cooking for everyone.

Luckily, on the first day, the production team didn’t ask them for money for the ingredients and considered it as a gift. PsCzv6

There were vegetables, meat, and seasonings, but they were all relatively common dishes.

Even though everyone has heard that Ren Qinming could cook, their expectations for the final result were not very high. As long as it was edible, it was good enough.

Qin Sijia had even joked, saying, “Just because Ren Qinming is the only one among the six of us who can enter the kitchen, as long as the final result is not to the extent of immediately needing an ambulance, even if it’s difficult to eat, everyone will still swallow it.”

Liang Yi patted Ren Qinming on the shoulder and reassured him, “Don’t worry, you can relax and cook. I have your back. Worst case scenario, we’ll all eat the plain noodles I make in the future.” Ij1fx

The bullet screen grew amused and the screen was filled with laughter.

Many people told Ren Qinming not to show off, at least Liang Yi had the basic skills of cooking noodles. Even if they wasted food for experiments, it was more reliable for Liang Yi to do the cooking.

Initially, many people thought Ren Qinming was blind when it came to cooking, and now many believed that whatever Ren Qinming would make was 100% dark cuisine.

After Ren Qinming entered the kitchen, the cameraman deliberately only took shots of everyone cleaning outside without capturing how Ren Qinming was alone. KVqhfd

By the time the cleaning was finished, the food in the kitchen was also cooked.

While everyone collapsed at the dinner table, they saw Ren Qinming bring out the food from the kitchen with a straight face.

They grew dumbfounded, but the bullet screen was even more dumbfounded.

[What the f*ck, is this for real! He did that himself???] j5s7w4

[Don’t be afraid that the program team will starve the guests to death, they’ll even help the guests cheat!]

Except for Ruan Song, the remaining four people crowded around Ren Qinming in the kitchen, where the dishes were still left untouched.

The camera followed them in, and the screen was filled with red and green. The raw materials were simple, but the final product wasn’t simple at all.

Mapo tofu, boiled pork slices, braised eggplant, garlic-flavored spare ribs, and vegetable egg soup, all had vibrant colors, enticing aromas, and delicious flavors. LGesbf

Just looking at them made everyone hungry, and the comments on the bullet screen were filled with mouth-watering emojis!

[This is my fucking brother Ren???]

[This is too unreasonable, he hid too deeply.]

[What the, I’m hungry. I’m gonna go call my mom to cook a midnight snack.] tr7JzW

[So other than the fact that Ren Qinming is cold towards people (not including Ruan Song), he has no other big fault, is that what this means?]

Everyone else crowded into the kitchen.

Ren Qinming tied an apron around himself, with a look on his face as if he were looking at a clueless person. He held his arms tightly against the kitchen door frame and said, “I don’t know what you all like to eat, I only know how to make what Ruan Song likes.”

Translation: I’m not responsible for dishes that are beyond my scope. tqk4aX

The comment section went crazy with “ah ah ah ah” again.

[Help! Just kill me off to add to the fun!]

[If I say they’re the most real couple in the entertainment industry no one would have any objections right!!!]

[Let me just say, I’m starting to envy Teacher Ruan again, sos!!] RBj2lV

At the dining table, Liang Yi and Qin Sijia sincerely apologized for underestimating Ren Qinming’s cooking skills.

As Zheng Qing took a bite of the dish and tasted its flavor, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “You’re truly talented, Qinming! If it weren’t for appearing on a variety show, you would have kept this amazing skill a secret for so long!”

Their taste was similar to Ruan Song’s, and they enjoyed the dishes with white rice.

But Jiang Qiqi couldn’t handle spicy and greasy food. A9Xvms

She didn’t even touch the mapo tofu or boiled sliced meat, and she didn’t eat eggplants or garlic. Out of the five dishes, the only dish she could stomach was the vegetable egg soup.

Liang Yi was afraid she wouldn’t eat enough and get hungry in the middle of the night, so he had several bowls of water prepared next to his hand to wash away the spice on the meat and tofu.

For the entire meal, he didn’t eat much, as he was busy serving the princess.

The bullet screen joked that it was not so easy to “enter” the wealthy family. QCDlt1

Throughout the meal, the main protagonist didn’t participate in any discussions, keeping his head down and merely lowering his head as he pushed around the rice in his bowl relatively silently.

Ruan Song sat beside him and could tell at a glance that he was being stubborn and unhappy.

He poked the other with his elbow, saying, “I want to eat eggplant.”

The bullet screen slowly displayed question marks. r2uMZf

[Although the eggplant is on my brother’s side, there are only a few dishes. Can’t he reach it?]

[The most important thing is that he just picked up some eggplant a moment ago, question mark.jpg]

No one could understand what Ruan Song was up to.

Just as the live broadcast screen showed Ren Qinming helping him pick up the eggplant, Ruan Song immediately followed suit. 0lp6cm

“I want to eat ribs,” he said.

The bullet screen once again displayed [???].

This time, the ribs were even more outrageous, right in front of Ruan Song, the closest dish to him!

Not only did everyone at the table, including Ren Qinming himself, pause for a moment, but he still helped him pick it up. fZAVIq

Ruan Song watched as he placed the dish in the bowl, but he didn’t pick up his chopsticks to eat. He even simply put down his chopsticks and continued to make demands.

“I also want to eat boiled meat slices.”

Ren Qinming picked it up for him.

“I also want some vegetable and egg soup.” oXIdGE

Ruan Song just sat there, dryly ordering all the dishes on the table.

At first, the bullet screen, and the guests didn’t know what was going on.

Jiang Qiqi even thought that they had just had a fight, so she cautiously bit her chopsticks and watched them.

But despite being ordered around like that, Ren Qinming still had a smile on his face as he continued to pick up the food. 7l8ue1

Everyone could see him desperately trying to restrain the corners of his mouth from curling up, but he couldn’t control it at all.

By the time all five dishes were piled into Ruan Song’s bowl, Ruan Song propped up his chin and raised an eyebrow at him, saying, “If you want to be happy, then be happy. From now on, you cook every day, and I’ll make you serve me.”

Just that one sentence.

Then everyone saw an inexplicable smile on Ren Qinming’s face. uSY6Co

And it was so radiant that Ren Qinming had to clench his fist to cover up the smile at the corner of his lips!

The bullet screen was yet again filled with [?????].

Although they’ve seen Ren Qinming’s love for Ruan Song several times already, this…

[Didn’t they say that wise men don’t fall into the river of love?] esPka9

[Ren Qinming, you’re done for! You’ve fallen into the river of love!!! Loudspeaker.jpg x3]

Ren Qinming seemed like he wasn’t satisfied yet. After laughing, he seriously confirmed with Ruan Song, “You were the one who said ‘from now on’ and ‘every day’, you can’t go back on your words.”

Ruan Song propped up his chin, not even lifting his eyelids, and replied, “Mhmm, I won’t go back on my words.”

Ren Qinming was displeased, saying, “… You’re saying that just for show.” qVUX3F

“Just for show?”

Ruan Song paused his lazy chopsticks mid-air, and with a teasing smile in his phoenix eyes, he tilted his head to look at him, saying, “Even if I’m just saying it for the show, shouldn’t you take the bait?”

[???????]

It had only been a few hours since 8 p.m. when the live broadcast began, yet the bullet screen had already become completely crazed. dM2yIg

[What kind of worldly fishing machine was Ruan Song?]

[Teacher Ruan yyds!The beauty of the fishing department is that it is the best at fishing!!!]

[I declare that I won’t survive tonight! Don’t stop me, just let me ship this to death in this live broadcast! Just leave me here to die!]
