Chen Yan immediately felt uneasy when he heard that the person surnamed Liu wanted to meet at a hotel.
[Fat Man Weighs Over 1000jin, and His Face Accounts for 800jin: Don’t say I didn’t warn you, but isn’t it suspicious? That stupid jerk must have been attracted by your beauty and deliberately chose a hotel to take advantage of you.]
Ruan Song sent him the location of the hotel.
[If you have money, I’ll marry you, Song: If I don’t reply to your message for two hours, then come find me, room 1508.]
The situation right now required him to go up the mountain of knives and go down into the sea of fire. As long as there was a glimmer of hope to make some money, Ruan Song would go for it.
Chen Yan could tell that he was really in need of money. When he first met Ruan Song, he was so arrogant that he would even get angry over unreasonable script revisions suggested by the client. But now, things have changed.
[Fat Man Weighs Over 1000jin, and His Face Accounts for 800jin: Auntie’s condition is not good again?]
[If you have money, I’ll marry you, Song: Four words, to demand immediate action.]
[Fat Man Weighs Over 1000jin, and His Face Accounts for 800jin: Got it, bro. You can go ahead and be rest assured. Your body is our source of wealth now, I pledge to complete the mission and help you get the money]

“If Teacher Ren doesn’t want to participate in our new interview-style variety show, it’s okay. There are many other types of variety shows. But will you not honor me with your presence and toast with me as a gesture of goodwill?” The producer raised his glass respectfully.
At the table, seven or eight people were sitting together, all with smiles on their faces, thinking that Ren Qinming probably gave in because of the atmosphere and that it wouldn’t be good to refuse again.
But in the end, the movie emperor leaned back in his chair without changing his posture, and it was still his little assistant who stood up and accepted the toast.
“Teacher Ren won’t drink. He drank too much last night and still hasn’t recovered. He has a schedule tomorrow.” The assistant had been speaking in a roundabout way for years, no one would find any flaws in his half-truths and half-lies.
After all, the incident of being secretly photographed last night caused such a big explosion. The producer had to nod and give up, but then he wanted to flatter and ease the atmosphere at the dinner table, saying, “If you ask me, those paparazzi are something. It’s normal for a 26-year-old to have a few lovers, they shouldn’t stalk celebrities and be so focused on capturing them.”
Those bootlickers sitting nearby also understood the flattery and chimed in, “Yeah, that’s right! And there are so many secret marriages and secret children, promiscuous parties, and they don’t even go after those who engage in same-sex relationships. If we have to blame someone, it can only be because Teacher Ren is too famous.”
The assistant’s hand holding the wine glass paused for a moment.
With an almost indifferent tone, Ren Qinming, who had been quiet throughout the meal, finally spoke up, “What’s wrong with being in a same-sex relationship?”
The person was taken aback. “Huh?”
“Nowadays, same-sex couples can even get married. I thought discrimination no longer existed,” Ren Qinming said, staring straight at him with crossed arms.
The others at the table were shocked.
Yesterday, when the news broke out about the kiss photo of the Movie Emperor Ren Qinming, no one knew if it was a man or a woman. Could it be a man?
Well, this was like dropping a rock on one’s own foot
Ren Qinming further threw out a final bombshell, “If we want to collaborate, at least both parties need to have a matching level of consciousness. Otherwise, when it breaks in the media that you inadvertently touch upon such topics and you guys implicate me, it’ll be very annoying for me.”
Everyone at the table was speechless.
That was a brutally honest statement, without much regard for face.

After countless preparations, they ended up being defeated by the topic of “homosexuality!”
Feeling the gaze of everyone, Ren Qinming picked up his chopsticks again and asked, “Are you all not eating anymore? I remember a whole table of dishes at the Water Pavilion Hotel is very expensive, let’s not waste the efforts of the program team.”
Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat. “…Let’s eat, eat, eat!”
……..
Without Chen Yan’s help, Ruan Song unhurriedly took an hour-long subway ride to the appointment.
He looked up and saw the magnificent signboard of the Water Pavilion Hotel. Before even entering, he was a bit worried that he might be stopped outside because of his casual attire.
Fortunately, staff members didn’t stop him from entering their establishment in his jeans, although they did glance at him strangely.
At first, Ruan Song didn’t understand and thought there was something on his face. It was only when he went upstairs and knocked on the door of room 1508 that he saw Producer Liu, with a radiant smile, wearing only a bathrobe.
It turned out everyone thought he was a male prostitute brought in by a guest for some fun!
Ruan Song stood at the door and maintained basic politeness. “Should I wait for you to get dressed before coming in?”
…….
At their rental house, Chen Yan has been strictly keeping track of time ever since Ruan Song told him he had entered the Water Pavilion Hotel.
As soon as two hours passed, he sent a timely greeting.
But what awaited him was no response on WeChat, unanswered voice messages, and when he tried calling, the phone was turned off.
Chen Yan immediately had a bad feeling about this.
The man who usually wouldn’t leave the house and would stay at home just to write scripts immediately left the house twice a day.
He even luxuriously took a taxi!
When Chen Yan, dressed in casual clothes, arrived at the hotel entrance, it was already pitch black outside. Without hesitation, he rushed inside, but before he could even reach the front desk, he was stopped.
“Do you have a reservation?” asked the hotel staff wearing white gloves, standing in front of him with a rather cold attitude.
A few passersby wearing suits and leather shoes looked at Chen Yan curiously, wondering why someone wearing sports pants and a white t-shirt would appear there.
Chen Yan knew he didn’t fit in here, but he was in a desperate hurry to save his friend’s life. “This is a hotel, not a private club. Why do you have a VIP reservation system? Can’t I just come in and have a meal?” he exclaimed.
If he directly said he was looking for someone at this kind of hotel, the front desk wouldn’t even give him the time of day.
“We also have a dress code for dining here, sir,” the staff member added sternly.
Chen Yan scratched his head, wondering why Ruan Song didn’t mention that he might get stopped.
Just as he was at his wits’ end, his small but sharp eyes caught sight of someone coming out of the restaurant wearing sports pants too. He pointed at the person and exclaimed, “That person! They’re not dressed formally either! Why can they go in but not me? Do you think I can’t afford to eat here?”
Everyone turned their heads in the direction he pointed.
Wearing a hat and sunglasses, Ren Qinming asked, “What’s going on?”
Hotel Staff, “……..”
Chen Yan couldn’t stand their dilly-dallying any longer, so he decided to take action. He reported the room number of a certain Mr. Liu: “My friend was called here by your guest, Mr. Liu Dezhong, in room 1508, to discuss something. But now he’s not responding on WeChat, not answering calls, and his phone is switched off! If something happens to my friend, can your hotel take responsibility?”
Oh, there was some juicy gossip!
The onlookers nearby were now unable to move, stopping in their tracks to watch the commotion.
Only Ren Qinming remained indifferent, continuing to look down and walk away.
The next moment, the staff member asked, “What’s your friend’s name? We need to verify it at the front desk.”
Chen Yan angrily replied, “Ruan Song, like the Song from Carol.”
Both the assistant and Ren Qinming paused simultaneously, and Ren Qinming turned around, asking, “Who?”
Chen Yan confidently said, “1508, Liu Dezhong!”
Ren Qinming replied, “…I’m asking about your friend.”
Chen Yan became cautious. “Why? Do you know our Song?”
The assistant and Ren Qinming exchanged a glance.
The assistant immediately stepped forward and told the hotel staff that Chen Yan was their friend, then led them toward the elevator.
The platform producer and their team, who were waiting to send off guests, were also confused. “????”
Not only the staff and onlookers were bewildered, but even Chen Yan himself was bewildered.
Now standing in front of him were two people, one tall and one short. The shorter one was wearing a casual suit.
The tall one had broad shoulders and long legs. Even though they were both wearing loose sportswear, the way that person carried themselves, from head to toe, just screamed “rich.” They were way more handsome than him, no doubt about it.
Chen Yan couldn’t help but wonder if he was going crazy. He found this handsome guy somewhat familiar and asked, “Do you know Song?”
The man casually put his hands in his pockets and, without answering directly, responded with a question about the changing floor numbers in the elevator, “1508, Liu Dezhong?”
“Yes, yes,” Chen Yan instinctively replied, immediately feeling a bit intimidated.
In terms of height, he was not inferior to others. In terms of physique, he was equivalent to two people. Why should he have to answer if the other person didn’t answer him?
Chen Yan adjusted his posture as a chubby person and said, “I’m asking if you know Song.”
The handsome guy still didn’t pay attention to him and asked, “What’s your relationship with Ruan Song?”
In Chen Yan’s mind, he thought he definitely wouldn’t answer the other. But when their eyes met, behind those intimidating sunglasses, his lips moved on their own, “… Just roommates, good friends.”
The handsome guy looked Chen Yan up and down.
Chen Yan couldn’t help himself. “We are good friends! I’m being honest, pure bros!”
Ren Qinming chuckled. “Got it.”
At first, Chen Yan couldn’t figure out why this person was laughing. After a moment’s pause, he thought again.
Fuck, did this person look down on his appearance? Did he think that Chen Yan would worry about being misunderstood as being together with Song? Was he overthinking it?
Chen Yan was a bit angry at that moment, thinking that this person looked average and didn’t know how to be polite when meeting for the first time. But before he could say anything, the elevator arrived.
In the face of a formidable enemy, Chen Yan considered himself magnanimous. He didn’t want to stoop to the other person’s level.
But even when it came to finding a room, this guy was one step ahead of him. With his long legs, standing over 1.8 meters tall, he seemed even more anxious than Chen Yan.
Chen Yan was prepared to record videos, kick doors, and even fight if necessary.
Little did he expect that the door to room 1508 was not even closed properly, just slightly ajar in front of the three of them.
The rest of the staff and the platform producer also took another elevator and caught up.
Pushing open the door, the first thing that caught their eye was a scattered belt and bathrobe at the entrance. Then, along the way, they saw disposable slippers and room supplies scattered about, showing signs of a fight in the mess.
Everyone was startled.
Chen Yan saw a large lump bulging under the white bedding on the bed, and his mind went blank… Could it be that he was too late?!
Ren Qinming couldn’t contain his anger any longer, and without saying a word, he grabbed the blanket and pulled it open.
The assistant also held up a large jacket in preparation for covering Ruan Song’s body, but in the end, they couldn’t find a second body, instead only finding the bare butt of a middle-aged man kneeling inside.
The middle-aged man was completely dumbfounded by the sudden appearance of so many people in his room. His face turned towards them, clean and unblemished, but his body was bruised and purple, and one hand even held an open condom as well as lube.
Ren Qinming didn’t want to hear any explanations. He first punched the man in the face and said, “Did you touch Ruan Song?”
The man was in so much pain that he didn’t know whether to cover his face or his butt first, and he replied, “I didn’t even get a chance to touch him!”
Ren Qinming said, “So you wanted to touch him.”
With these sentences, his lawsuit was decided.
Ren Qinming didn’t waste any words. He dragged the person to the ground with the blanket and was ready to start beating him. He was so strong that the hotel staff nearby couldn’t stop him.
The man named Liu wasn’t wearing any clothes. He awkwardly used the blanket to cover himself while also dodging Ren Qinming’s punches left and right. He was so aggrieved he was about to go crazy and said, “Who the hell are you?! Why are you hitting me again?! Haven’t we already fought!”
Chen Yan was confused again and hadn’t figured out what the man meant by “we already fought” when his phone in his pocket started ringing.
Ruan Song said on the phone, “I thought my phone could hold on a little longer, but it ran out of battery and shut down on its own. I didn’t receive your call. I’m heading home now. Where are you? You’re not going to the hotel to fight with that guy named Liu, are you? I’ve already dealt with him.”
“So you’ve already dealt with him and gone home.” Chen Yan looked confused at the chaotic situation happening in front of him. “I… I’m actually still at the hotel, but I didn’t fight with that guy. I’m watching other people fight him?”
Ruan Song, “?”
Ruan Song, “Who else wants to deal with that guy?”
Chen Yan was about to say he didn’t know, but Ren Qinming took off his sunglasses in front of everyone, raised his hand, and threw another punch. “Do you recognize who I am now? Just because you want to take advantage of Ruan Song, even beating you up is too light! Xiaolu, call the police.”
Assistant Xiaolu was prepared in advance. “I have already reported it, Brother Qinming.”
Everyone’s pupils widened in shock.
The platform producer’s jaw dropped to the ground, and Chen Yan’s mind exploded like fireworks as he held his phone.
In less than two seconds, Weibo also exploded. The hot search’s title was [Ren Qinming’s Face Turned Blue With Anger] was trending.
