The filming for today had wrapped up smoothly. Staff members who were still single were discussing where they should go for dinner. Married individuals like Director Li Wei had rejected their offer to eat together and were heading home to eat with their family.

"Tang Feng, let's go eat." Gino walked out of his trailer after changing and taking off his makeup. Seeing that Tang Feng was half-way into a car, he quickly called out to the actor.

Tang Feng waved at Gino without turning his head. He got into the car and said, "No, I have things to do tonight. See you tomorrow."

The car started, leaving behind a trail of white dust.

Gino sighed and stuffed his hands into his pockets. He stared in the direction Tang Feng had left, not moving for a long while. Somewhat irritated, he kicked at the pebbles in front of his feet. He still remembered what he had seen at Tang Feng's apartment two days ago, but he didn't believe that there was anything between Tang Feng and Lu Tian Chen. Even though in the entertainment industry where fame was everything, it was common for celebrities to have questionable ties to their bosses.

But he knew Tang Feng wasn't that sort of person. He wasn't the type to sell his body for the chance to act.

Tang Feng didn't want to admit that he was avoiding Gino. Maybe it was because the Gino that he knew now was different from the Gino he knew then. It could also be because he was startled at the sudden closeness in their relationship. But in the end, only he himself knew the true reason.

While filming, he was required to be intimate with Gino. He wasn't an idiot. Although Lu Tian Chen and Charles hadn't said anything, he could tell whether someone was happy or sad based on their actions. As long as it was work-related, then his intimacy with Gino was understandable. However, being close off screen as well could easily lead people's minds astray.

Compared to before, Lu Tian Chen and Charles were focusing more attention on him. It wasn't related to love; it definitely didn't mean that the other two had suddenly fallen in love with him. It was much simpler, like a pet you'd raised for years suddenly started sticking to someone else instead. Anyone would be uncomfortable at the change.

If one didn't want any trouble, then it was best to avoid all possible sources of trouble.

Two days ago, Lu Tian Chen had filled Tang Feng's closet with his own clothes. Ever since then, he had been sleeping with Tang Feng in the same room. Often, when Tang Feng came home from filming, Lu Tian Chen was home as well. They would eat dinner together and chat about their day.

Afterwards, Tang Feng would go to an empty room and practice his lines in front of the mirror. Lu Tian Chen would go to his study and take care of his own work. During this time, neither of them would bother the other. Around nine or ten at night, they would meet back up at the living room. They would watch TV and chat again. Occasionally, they'd go to a bar or for a walk outside.

Such an orderly life sometimes gave Tang Feng a strange feeling, but this type of life didn't last long.

It was another evening. After watching TV for a while, Tang Feng and Lu Tian Chen went back to their own rooms to shower. Usually, after Tang Feng meandered back into the room from his long shower, Lu Tian Chen would already be sitting on the bed with a book in hand. Tonight was the same, except for one detail.
