In the seventh year of their established sponsorship relationship, Xi Wei came across an interview video of Zhong Shen.

Zhong Shen was no longer the green, awkward student he had been seven years ago. Now, his features were flawless, his temperament noble, and every gesture exuded the poise of a megastar.

The reporter asked a roundabout question about his private life, inquiring if he was single.

Breaking from his usual guarded attitude, Zhong Shen actually replied: “No.”

The internet was in an uproar, and Xi Wei was equally surprised.

That night, they had their usual ho*kup. After a bout of intimacy, Xi Wei suddenly remembered the incident. He gave the man pressing down on him a shove and asked: “By the way, when did you go off the market? Who are you dating?”

Zhong Shen fell silent for a moment and said nothing.

Xi Wei offered considerately: “I know that statement wasn’t for your fans; it was mainly for me. Don’t worry, if you want to pursue true love, I won’t stand in your way. We can end things peacefully.”

“…”

Zhong Shen remained silent. In his eyes—the very ones a famous director once praised for being “filled with hidden stories”—a flicker of moisture appeared, only to disappear as he regained his silent composure.

Avoiding Xi Wei’s gaze, he turned over and lay down. “Let’s talk about it later.”
