Everyone was happily eating melons when a marketing account forwarded the post of Canghuan’s official Weibo and joked about supporting the CP of Canghuna’s boss and Li Zhao. After all, they were all humans. Wasn’t the mysterious and overbearing president and popular, handsome male star sweet?
This marketing account had only recently become popular. It usually liked to write some sweet love stories. Although it only had a million fans, the activity level was very high.
“This pen is given to you. You write it quickly. If you don’t write well then don’t go to sleep tonight.”
“The mysterious president x popular star. What type of fairy CP is this? I dare to support it, do you dare to write it?”
Other marketing accounts that had been in the circle for a long time were silent. It was true that newborn calves really weren’t afraid of tigers. They were young and didn’t know how expensive their account was. They dared to post anything and say anything. Canghuan’s lawyers would let them know the rules.
Some people even waited happily for this marketing account to be blocked. Yet as they waited and waited, they saw more and more comments under this post and more and more people forwarding it yet the account wasn’t blocked.
The market accounts that knew the inside story thought about it carefully and felt that something was wrong. Last year, an artist from the same company as Li Zhao tried to use the boss of Canghuan as hype. Finally, not only was the female artist stuck idly at home, some of the marketing accounts who helped here were blocked.
How satisfied was Canghuan with this newcomer Li Zhao that they could even contribute their own boss? How was Li Zhao the son of Strawberry Entertainment? He was clearly the eldest son of Canghuan.
A courageous marketing account tried to repost this Weibo. He waited anxiously all night and didn’t receive a warning from any lawyers.
His heart moved and he searched the Internet. He found that there were even online writers writing stories about Li Zhao and Canghuan’s boss.
Not to mention, these novels were very well written. Anyone who read the contents of the article would think that the mysterious boss and the popular star were in true love. Even he, a straight main, had the urge to find someone to get rid of his single status after reading the novels.
The marketing account forwarded a novel to his own home page, feeling that this world had such a touching love.
Soon, the story of the Cang Li CP started to circulate among the netizens. Painters started to make many cute pieces for this CP and the limelight completely suppressed that of the Li Yu CP who had their super topic blocked.
The Li Yu fans, “??”
There wasn’t even a photo of the boss of Canghuan, let alone Li Zhao being in the same frame as him. What were these CP fans doing? The love story of the domineering president and the beautiful star? Oh, superficial. Their Xiao Yu was also a rich second generation.
“Sir.” Qin Xiao sent a screenshot of the popular Cang Li CP Weibo post to Yan Ting. “On the Internet, the degree of discussion about you and Mr Li is already very high.”
Yan Ting saved the screenshot. “Control public opinion so that everyone knows this is just a brain hole and isn’t actually real. Don’t let it affect Zhao Zhao’s professional development.”
“You can rest assured. I understand.”
Qin Xiao smiled. This Cang Li CP, it confirmed that if there was no chance, he just had to spend money.
Sure enough, problems that could be solved with money weren’t big problems.
The following week, Li Zhao was desperately filming to get a weekend off. Ever since he received the admission notice, Ting Ting and Sister Xia had been discussing the matter of the school admission banquet every day in the WeChat group.
Li Zhao didn’t have many friends outside the circle. It seemed that Ting Ting was eager to give him a magnificent university admission banquet. He wanted to invite all the top directors, producers and actors of the circle only to be rejected by Li Zhao.
Yan Ting said that two years ago, a girl from a local rich tyrant’s family got into one of the top 10 schools using her strength. Her dad spent a lot of money and invited many popular artists to perform as guests.
His Zhao Zhao was more powerful than that young girl. How could he lose to that young girl’s family?
Alas, Li Zhao thought of this and had a headache.
“Why are you sighing?” Liu Fen was a beautiful woman with many charms. She could attract the eyes of many men just by leaning against her chair.
“Sister Fenfen?” Once Liu Fen came over to sit down, Li Zhao immediately straightened. “My friend is holding a school admission banquet for me but there are some differences in opinions when it comes to inviting guests. He has listened to my opinion but he has been somewhat depressed for the past two days. I was thinking about how to coax him.”
“Then he must be someone who cares about you.” Liu Fen chuckled softly. “In front of a person who cares about you, just tell the truth. I’m certain that in his heart, you are definitely ranked first.”
Li Zhao frowned and then explained, “I know. I just… can’t see him look so lost.”
Liu Fen thoughtfully glanced at him and then smiled mysteriously. “Are you afraid they will be angry and also tired? You don’t want them to be unhappy?”
Li Zhao nodded.
Liu Fen’s smile became more obvious. She looked at Li Zhao, who was a bit ignorant. “Brat, you still need to grow up.”
“Ah?” Li Zhao was at a loss.”
“Do you know?” Liu Fen looked at the busy staff of the studio. “When I was studying, there was someone who was kind to me. It wasn’t until a few years ago that I opened the notebook he gave me and found there was a small bookmark confessing to me. Later, I thought about it and realized I also liked the boy. Unfortunately, I didn’t understand at the time and let go of a very good young man.”
Li Zhao, “……”
“You later… didn’t contact him?”
Liu Fen laughed. “How can the living contact the dead? In the second year after he went abroad, a car accident occurred. A friend said he was rushing back from abroad to celebrate my birthday.”
“I’m sorry.” Li Zhao hadn’t expected to remind Liu Fen of something sad.”
“Silly boy, I made up a story to deceive you yet you believed it.” Liu Fen stood up, once again the proud and glamorous entertainment queen.
“Still, don’t blame me for reminding you.” Liu Fen patted Li Zhao’s shoulder. “Life is short. If you like it then you should have it. Don’t leave any regrets behind.”
Li Zhao watched Liu Fen walk away and started to reflect if he had anything he wanted to have.
It seemed that life right now was perfect. He lived with Ting Ting every day and exercised together when they were free. They went out to taste food when there was nothing to do. If he was tired, injured or sick then everyone cared a for him. If he went back late at night, someone would leave on a light for him. Even his only regret, studying at university, was completed with the help and encouragement of Yan Ting.
If there was anything he really wanted, it was to live in peace with Yan Ting like this all the time.
A few days later, Li Zhao’s circle of friends received an invitation to attend Li Zhao’s university admission banquet.
The careful people found out that the small bookmark gift sent with the invitation was actually made of pure gold and the gift box was designed and customized by a master.
The venue for the banquet wasn’t a hotel but a private island. The host will arrange a charter flight for them. The bookmarks and gift boxes alone cost a lot of money. Strawberry Entertainment was so willing to spend money to help Li Zhao build momentum?
In particular, that private island wouldn’t necessarily be rented out even if someone had money. The size of this university admission banquet might be grander than the marriage of many first-tier artists.
Who said that Li Zhao was the son of Strawberry Entertainment? He was clearly their grandfather.
The invited people, whether they were free or not, deliberately made time to get on the charter flight to the island. The island was like a precious gem in the blue sea. The flowers and trees on it were beautifully trimmed and the buildings were even more beautiful.
Some well-informed people in the circle couldn’t help screaming. Such a picturesque private island, shouldn’t the rent be calculated by the hour?
“President Sun, if I find a man to marry in the future, you must help me arrange this island.” Liu Fen stated as she looked at the island through the window. “It must be very romantic to hold a wedding here.’
“I didn’t arrange this.” President Sun hadn’t expected Yan Ting to be so generous. This should be a private island under Yan Ting’s name.
“You didn’t arrange it?” The dozen people on the plane were very surprised. “Who is it if it wasn’t you?”
“Of course, it is the owner of this plane.” Mr Sun wasn’t sure about the relationship between Yan Ting and Li Zhao and didn’t dare to offend Yan Ting. “This was all prepared by Zhao Zhao’s friend.”
Everyone on the plane started asking President Sun if it was the friend who gave Li Zhao the brooch worth several suites?
“Hahaha.” President Sun just laughed loudly in default agreement.
The moment the plane landed on the tarmac, someone in uniform came to greet them. It was so thoughtful that people couldn’t pick out anything wrong. They stepped into the magnificent residential building and everyone saw Li Zhao sitting cross-legged and playing games on a sofa. This sofa was out of place with the entire room and was obviously added later.
“Everyone is here. Sit down, sit down.” Seeing everyone coming, Li Zhao greeted everyone and helped them settle down. Meanwhile, the helpers served delicious refreshments.
“It is still early. Take a break and I’ll accompany you around the island.” Li Zhao scratched his head with a bit of embarrassment. “To be honest, I’m also curious about this island.”
“You haven’t been to this island before?” Song Yu, who had never spoken, suddenly opened his mouth.
“No.” Li Zhao shook his head. “I never thought he was this rich.”
Song Yu stopped talking. There weren’t many rich people with such a large private island in China. It was impossible for Li Zhao to have a relationship with them.
After a good rest, Li Zhao took the guests who wanted to explore the island out of the house. The bodyguards in uniform walked in front of them and introduced the scenery of the island while guiding them.
Li Zhao carried a bucket in his hand. He occasionally picked up a shell with a shovel and threw it into the bucket.
Song Yu poked him and whispered, “The one who beat up Xu Bei until his prosthesis flew away. Was it you?”
“Don’t believe messy rumours.”
Song Yu was secretly reassured. Xu Bei was beaten so badly yet he didn’t dare to come out and speak. It seemed that the person who beat up Xu Bei had a strong background.
“I just beat him up.”
Song Yu: ???
“Then you really did it?” Song Yu sucked in a breath. “Are you crazy? Although the Xu family might not be able to see the boss of Canghuan, a horse is still better than a thin and dead camel. If you go against him then it won’t be any good for you.”
“It was just a fight.” Li Zhao hadn’t played at the beach so everything was new to him. He planned to try fishing once Yan Ting came.
“You still have the mind to pick up shells. It seems you aren’t in a hurry.” Song Yu kicked the sand with his feet, picked up a shell and threw it into Li Zhao’s bucket.”
“I will tell you something and you can’t tell others.” Li Zhao looked at Song Yu with a smile.”
“What is it?” Song Yu thought that Li Zhao might tell him a big secret.
“This island is owned by Canghuan’s boss.”
“Stop bragging. I am also good brothers with the boss of Canghuan…” Song Yu laughed a few times but then he saw Li Zhao’s expression and couldn’t laugh anymore. “Really?”
Li Zhao nodded.
“He… is he the relocation household tyrant?” Song Yu almost screamed. “That Yan Ting who visited the crew?”
“Yes.” Li Zhao nodded. “He is also helping me with the school admission banquet. Brother Song, you will help me keep this a secret, right?”
Song Yu stared at Li Zhao for half a minute. Finally, he hugged his head and collapsed. “Why are you telling me this secret, why?”
How painful was it to know such a shocking secret yet not daring to tell anyone?
“We are good friends.”
“Bah, who is friends with you?” Song Yu’s anger rose as he saw Li Zhao’s smile. “You did it intentionally, right?”
Li Zhao smiled and said nothing.
Song Yu took a deep breath and endured it. He was wrong, really wrong. From the beginning, he shouldn’t have entered the Overbearing Female President crew. If he hadn’t entered the crew, he wouldn’t have done many sorry things to Li Zhao and wouldn’t have fallen to this point.
“That thing.” Song Yu spoke cautiously after comforting himself. “That, does he know what happened when I filmed Overbearing Female President with you?”
He was afraid of this cruel-hearted gentleman. He just had to speak softly and the Song family would be broken. Then Song Yu wouldn’t have the face to look at the ancestors of the Song family.
“Don’t worry, my family’s Ting Ting isn’t that small-minded.”
Song Yu seemed to have heard a joke. Yan Ting wasn’t small-minded? When Li Zhao said such a thing, did he think about those who had become cold in Yan Ting’s hands? Song Yu wanted to refute this but he didn’t dare.
“You and Yan Ting…” Song Yu decided to use a euphemistic statement. “Your relationship is good?”
Li Zhao nodded.
Song Yu suddenly understood why the Li Yu super topic had disappeared. This person must’ve been the one to do it? Unexpectedly, Song Yu lived to his 20s and did such an amazing thing. He dared to form a CP with that man’s lover. It was amazing that he wasn’t cold yet.
He was just thinking this when his agent called.
“Xiao Yu, I’m having a bit of trouble unsealing the Li Yu CP super topic. Shall we reapply for a more covert one?”
“Don’t, don’t do it.” Song Yu almost didn’t take a breath. “Don’t apply for it. Tell the people of the studio to pay attention. In the future, if they see someone bringing me together with Li Zhao, report it.”
The agent was puzzled. “Aren’t you going to rub Li Zhao’s heat?”
“I’m not going to jump into the sea to feed the sharks. I don’t want to fry CP with Li Zhao.”
Jumping into the sea wouldn’t only kill him. All those of the LI Zhao CO would die with him.
The agent, “……”
Did Song Yu quarrel again with Li Zhao? It was just going to a university admission banquet. How could there be an incident?
“You don’t want CP fans anymore?” Li Zhao asked.
“No.” Song Yu raised his chin. “I will rely on acting to conquer them.”
Li Zhao raised his eyebrows. Did Song Yu have this thing?
Tomorrow was the official time for the university admission banquet but the guests had a good time. They took photos and sent it to friends or posted on Weibo, not forgetting to talk about the beauty of the island.
However, since Li Zhao didn’t announce the matter of the admission dinner, no one mentioned it.
The entertainment reporters found that many big names in the circle had gone to this island and curiously searched for information about this island. However, there was no tourist information on the island so it should be a private island.
They found that not only did artists go to the island, but there were also well-known directors, producers and even the bosses of Strawberry Entertainment and Purple Eggplant Entertainment.
Who had such a big face that so many people could put down their work to gather on this island?
The boss of Purple Eggplant Entertainment wasn’t invited. He heard the news and shamelessly followed. Yan Ting was personally holding a university admission banquet for Li Zhao so he had to go.
His artists had such a stiff relationship with Li Zhao. He had to pay his respects to Yan Ting and Li Zhao to show his attitude. By the time Yan Ting arrived on the island, it was already late at night. He got off the plane and saw Li Zhao waving at him in the distance.
“The island is cold at night. Why are you here?” Yan Ting strode toward Li Zhao.
“I came to pick you up.” Li Zhao put a coat on Yan Ting. “Let’s go back.”
Yan Ting looked at Li Zhao walking in front of him and reached for Li Zhao’s hand.
“Ting Ting?” Li Zhao looked back in a puzzled manner. Yan Ting’s hands were slightly cool and it wasn’t warm like his hands.
“I don’t have good eyesight at night.” Yan Ting watched Li Zhao. “Can you hold me to lead the way?”
Bad eyesight at night, was it a vitamin A deficiency or vitamin BCDE?
Li Zhao’s mind was a mess. He felt that his mental state was a bit weird at the moment. He wanted to shake Yan Ting’s hand off but then staring into Yan Ting’s soft eyes, he hesitated. In front of such eyes, he couldn’t refuse any request from Yan Ting.
Li Zhao held Yan Ting’s hand and secretly removed his gaze. “Let’s go.”
The waves gently patted the reefs and the boundless sea looked dark. The light of the watchtower became stars on the sea.
There was a turtle secretly crawling to shore. It heard footsteps and shrank his head back, but he was eager to try again.
“Have Sister Xia and the others arrived?” Yan Ting took the initiative to break the silence.
Li Zhao nodded. “I arranged them in the main house, separated from the people in the circle.”
“Okay.” Yan Ting looked at Li Zhao. Li Zhao’s face looked extra soft in the moonlight. The moonlight at this time was just right. He wanted to tell Zhao Zhao the longing and feelings in his heart. However, before he spoke, the feeling of his mother jumping from the stairs appeared in his mind.
She always told him that the world was ruthless. He should believe in nothing and not believe in feelings.
“The moment the Yan family becomes emotional, they will become lunatics.”
“What’s the matter?” Li Zhao noticed that Yan Ting’s steps were half a beat slower. He looked back and found that half of Yan Ting’s face was hidden in the shadows.
Yan Ting shook his head. “It’s nothing.”
Li Zhao smiled and didn’t continue to ask. “When I was a child, I saw a book that wrote about children picking up shells on the beach and making a castle. I was especially curious about what playing at a beach felt like.”
He released Yan Ting’s hand, took out his phone and clicked on a photo. “Here, the castle I made for you that is specifically reserved for the prince.”
The pile of sand in the photo was more a pile of sand than a castle.
Yan Ting was silent for a few seconds. “It is a very noble stream of consciousness style.”
It wasn’t easy to praise like this!
“Come.” Li Zhao reached out to Yan Ting.
Yan Ting put his hand in Li Zhao’s palm and the two people held hands again.
“Where are we going?”
“Taking the prince to repair his castle.” Li Zhao laughed.
“If I’m the prince then what are you?”
“I am eating and drinking in the prince’s house while protecting the prince. I am his knight.” Li Zhao gave Yan Ting a very gentle smile. “Let’s go, Prince.”
Looking at their hands held together, Yan Ting bent his fingers slightly. These two hands were together so don’t let go.
The author has something to say:
In the kindergarten’s small playground, Baby Ting Ting and Baby Zhao Zhao played in the mud while holding hands.
The teacher looked at the two dirty people: Two little babies, what game are you playing?
