Have We Slept Together Today’s true ending was the addition of several names to Liang Yu’s little ledger of debts. Of course, Luo Yaoye was the one who suffered the most. Not only did she lose money, but she didn’t get to see what she wanted to see either. It was truly a tragic sight.
At times, Xu Jingzhe felt that Liang Yu didn’t even need to start up a fashion brand if he ever decided to quit the industry. All he needed to do was collect interest on those debts, and he’d have enough to support the next eighteen generations.
Due to the show being recorded and broadcast simultaneously, a number of hashtags relating to Have We Slept Together Today rapidly climbed up Weibo’s trending list the following day. Zhang Man kept an eye on them the entire time. Anything detrimental to Xu Jingzhe and Liang Yu would have to be dealt with, either through money or through legal channels.
Since her guest appearance, Zhang Man had become much more diligent in monitoring the show. She meticulously went over every scene of Xu Jingzhe and Liang Yu. She’d even gone so far as to have Zhu Xiaoxiao locate a bunch of extended behind-the-scenes footage for her to consult. In any case, Zhang Man was already unsure of what to say to Xu Jingzhe by the time she finished watching the finale.
She was a smart person. She felt that she may not even need to look for Xu Jingzhe. Xu Jingzhe would probably come to her later.
Having realized this, Zhang Man became much more composed. However, she felt pretty sympathetic towards Yang Jierui.
Yang Jierui was very satisfied with the popularity of the reality show. He had a company to manage, so he was much busier than Zhang Man, especially after he recruited a few idols in order to hop onto the idol survival show trend. Most of his energy was tied up in managing fan groups.
Liang Yu’s career was already well-developed, so Yang Jierui’s biggest concern at the moment was how to leverage Liang Yu’s popularity to benefit the other kids under his management.
“What do you think about taking on some more variety shows?” Yang Jierui didn’t really have very high hopes. He was mostly just throwing the idea out there. Yang Jierui was thinking that Liang Yu could occasionally appear as a guest on popular variety shows. He would then insert the idol onto the show, and Liang Yu could help guide him.
Liang Yu immediately refused, “I’m not interested in guiding some kid.”
Yang Jierui was silent for a moment before saying, “It’s not just some kid. He’s a junior in your company. He’s going to bring in money for you.”
Liang Yu’s tone carried a hint of disdain. “Why bother with some variety show? You can just have the kid audition for a role in my next movie. No need for all this other crap.”
Yang Jierui: “He managed to debut as the center in his survival show and he’s got some ten million followers, but he might only be able to play a minor role in your movie. Isn’t this a little too unfair towards him?”
Liang Yu coldly retorted, “How is that unfair? Xu Jingzhe hasn’t acted in a single movie since his debut. Is he out here feeling unfairly treated?”
Yang Jierui: “…?” Why are you, once again, bringing up Xu Jingzhe? What does this have to do with him?!

After watching the last episode of Have We Slept Together Today, Zhu Xiaoxiao began lurking in the forums like always. Her current mood was soaring. In fact, she almost felt as if she were heading home for a hearty holiday meal, even when the thread she was opening was We’re Not Buying.

“Ladies, let me share some insider info. Remember how Rem was suing up a storm? He might have stepped on some toes in doing so. If things keep going this way, something big is going to happen within the next two months.”
“OP, quit making things so unnecessarily complicated. Why do I have to wait two months? Who should I blame if two whole years pass and nothing happens?”
“If this really is a public relations tactic, they usually sign a three-year contract, right? Maybe if we stick it out for two years, we’ll see them issue a divorce statement.”
Zhu Xiaoxiao: “…” You guys actually managed to guess the true nature of this contract! As expected of We’re Not Buying!
“I’m OP. I swear I’m not making stuff up, and I’ll give you some more info to prove it. It has to do with the reason why Fish Tycoon was at that hotel the night of the scandal. He’s definitely using Rem to deflect from himself. As for what he went there to do, I’ll leave you guys in suspense for now. If negotiations for this information aren’t settled before the Starlight Awards, this matter will definitely come to light.”
Zhu Xiaoxiao immediately went on the alert when she read this. She read it over two or three times and thought about it before grabbing her phone to find Zhang Man.
Zhang Man was still on the phone. Since the reality show blew up in popularity, Xu Jingzhe had been getting a lot more invitations to participate on variety shows. Sometimes, reality shows were just that powerful, whether it was magnifying flaws or highlighting strengths. Zhang Man had to admit. Xu Jingzhe would always come out on top of even the most severe trials.
“Mr. Xu plans to focus more on himself and his works in the future. He’s an actor after all. It’s best if he maintains a sense of distance with his audience.” She raised an eyebrow when she saw Zhu Xiaoxiao. She then pointed at the sofa across from her and motioned for her to go ahead and sit down. “Well, we’ll consider your invitation. No, I assure you it’s not just a formality, Yes, don’t worry. If he has any intention to join a variety show, I will be the first to let you know.”
She hung up the phone and asked Zhu Xiaoxiao, “What’s up?”
Zhu Xiaoxiao handed over the phone and hesitantly asked, “Man jie, about this, do you think it’s credible?”
Zhang Man took the phone and casually scrolled through a few pages, not paying it much attention. “Gossip like this is everywhere. It shouldn’t be too big of a deal.” She then paused and cautiously said, “Still, you should keep an eye on it. Mr. Xu might have something to discuss with you soon. If he does, make sure to let me know. You can’t just keep silent like before.”
Zhu Xiaoxiao obediently agreed, but she didn’t really understand. “What could he possibly have to discuss?”
Zhang Man pretended to zip her lips, revealing a mysterious and knowing smile. “He’ll definitely have something to tell us soon. All we need to do is prepare, listen, and execute.”
Zhu Xiaoxiao: “…?”
Xu Jingzhe’s invitation to the Starlight Awards was personally delivered into his hands. He and Liang Yu discussed it for a bit and decided to get their outfits made at a high-end men’s fashion brand within the country. Unlike female celebrities, male celebrities would usually choose to directly purchase their suits if they had the means. Liang Yu might not be much of a spender in other aspects, but, when it came to clothing, he spared no expense. In his own words, it was the greatest respect he could pay to fashion.
Custom-made suits involved having a designer come to their home to take their measurements. Once their measurements were recorded, the designer would also discuss color preferences and patterns with them.
Upon exiting the cloakroom, Xu Jingzhe was met with the sight of Liang Yu standing in the hallway. He wore a simple pair of rectangular glasses, the frames loosely perched upon the bridge of his nose. He was flipping through fabric samples, occasionally conferring with the designer in clipped tones.
“This one won’t do,” Liang Yu said. “It doesn’t suit him.”
The designer had probably recommended some other colors to him. Liang Yu carefully looked them over and nodded. “This one is good. It complements his skin tone.”
Xu Jingzhe walked over. Liang Yu raised his head and waved to him. “Come take a look.”
Xu Jingzhe stared at his glasses. “Are you nearsighted?”
Liang Yu: “A little bit. I got this pair of glasses for myself, but I kept forgetting to wear them. I finally put them to good use today.”
He showed Xu Jingzhe some fabric patterns. “I’d prefer something a little more extravagant for you. It can complement your temperament. When the time comes, dye your hair a little darker. Ahhh, forget it. I’ll talk to the stylist.”
Xu Jingzhe was still staring at his glasses, and Liang Yu had clearly noticed. He asked, a little impatient, “Are they really that interesting?”
“They are.” Xu Jingzhe stared at his face and said earnestly, “They’re super interesting. Why haven’t you worn them before?”
Liang Yu: “…”
Liang Yu ended up keeping his glasses on even after they finished picking out their fabrics and patterns. Xu Jingzhe’s eyes were glued to him from beginning to end. The assistants that came with the designer even teased them about it, joking that their relationship was even better than rumored.
It might have been that Xu Jingzhe’s gaze was just too intense. Liang Yu didn’t take the glasses off, but he was clearly a little unused to this towards the end. When he finally took his glasses off for bed, Xu Jingzhe’s face was somewhat disappointed.
“…” Liang Yu took a deep breath, and, with a great deal of restraint, he said, “Come here.”
Xu Jingzhe obediently walked over to him.
Liang Yu looked down at him, and, after a long time, he said, “There aren’t any cameras in this room right now.”
“?” Xu Jingzhe was a little puzzled. He said, “I know.”
Liang Yu: “There aren’t any mics either.”
Xu Jingzhe nodded slowly.
Liang Yu reached out and lifted the other’s chin, his gaze falling upon his lips once more.
“If I were to kiss you right now,” he suddenly said, “it wouldn’t be for anyone else to see and no one else would know.”
Xu Jingzhe vaguely understood what he meant. A warmth gradually spread across his face, and sweat broke out on his back. After a while, he softly uttered a quiet hum of approval.
Liang Yu lowered his head, looking for the perfect angle to press his lips against Xu Jingzhe’s. With a mischievous grin, he teased, “Open your mouth. How am I supposed to kiss you if you shut it so tightly?”
Xu Jingzhe: “…”
The Translator Has Something To Say:
