Chapter 153 – Unspoken Rules

Translator: ChuRen/ YuQiChen

“Ah…?”

Tang Qing felt like he was living in a dream.

Just half an hour ago, Lu Zeyu, who had known about his involvement in adult films, gave him a disapproving look, and was now about to join him.

Was this the adaptability of an actor? It was too strong.

Tang Qing looked incredulous, opening his mouth and saying, “Movie Emperor Lu, you don’t have to force yourself like this. I, I can handle it myself…”

He didn’t understand why Lu Zeyu suddenly wanted to film adult movies with him, but he was Movie Emperor Lu, after all.

How could he condescend to accompany him in this kind of filming?

He didn’t have the iron will of Le Ke.

What was going on?

Upon hearing Tang Qing’s refusal, the tall man slightly narrowed his eyes, gazing at Tang Qing.

He still appeared calm, with little expression on his face.

But his beautiful peach blossom eyes were slightly squinted, with a mysterious hint in their depths.

The man’s throat rolled, and he slowly squeezed out a few words in a flat tone:

“Do you still prefer finding someone else?”

Whether it was Tang Qing’s imagination, he always felt that Lu Zeyu’s demeanor was a bit strange.

But in any case, he couldn’t let Lu Zeyu join his adult film crew.

He was about to refuse when suddenly, a voice sounded in his mind.

[System alert.] System 99, which had been missing for a long time, spoke in his mind.

[Host, I just received an alert. The villain’s darkening value has suddenly skyrocketed.] System 99, which had been assisting other hosts with their missions, hurriedly arrived. [I didn’t have time to check your progress here, but no matter what method you use, whether it’s acting cute or throwing tantrums, you must placate the villain.]

After saying this, System 99 quickly logged off. It had been busy with several new hosts lately and none of them were easy to handle.

Tang Qing looked at Lu Zeyu, feeling somewhat lost.

The man was tall, with calm and deep eyes, like a flawless yet frosty statue.

His face was unrealistically perfect, with a high nose bridge, tightly pressed thin lips, devoid of any visible emotion.

He casually looked at Tang Qing, seemingly indifferent to Tang Qing’s response.

However, upon hearing from System 99 that Lu Zeyu was edging towards a darkening state, Tang Qing was unsure of the situation, unable to comprehend what might have triggered the man’s darkening.

Following System 99’s guidance, Tang Qing complied with Lu Zeyu’s intentions, and added an explanation, slightly nervous as he observed the man’s expression, fearing it might not be satisfactory. He continued:

“Movie Emperor Lu, how could I possibly want to work with anyone else? I’m just worried that you’re too busy, and having you cooperate with an unknown director like me, filming these types of movies, would be a waste of your time.”

Tang Qing pursed his lips, nervously watching the man’s expression, afraid he might not be satisfied. He added:

“If Movie Emperor Lu could accompany me in filming, I would be extremely happy. It’s beyond my wildest dreams. Being able to act with Movie Emperor Lu would make me so happy that I couldn’t sleep for days. I am Movie Emperor Lu’s number one fan!”

The man’s expression softened a bit, and he continued to ask, “Do you still want to work with someone else?”

Tang Qing noticed that Lu Zeyu seemed particularly concerned about him working with someone else in films.

But why was this the case?

Was it because Lu Zeyu was the Movie Emperor, always the one rejecting directors rather than being rejected by them?

So, was it that his dignity as a Movie Emperor couldn’t handle being refused for the first time?

Surprisingly, despite Lu Zeyu appearing calm and strong on the surface, his desire to win was unexpectedly strong.

Realizing this, Tang Qing quickly reassured, “Of course not. After working with Movie Emperor Lu, I feel that no other actors can compare to you. Their acting skills, business acumen, and even their looks don’t match yours. If it weren’t for the trouble it might cause you, I would have wanted to hire you as my exclusive actor, only collaborating with you for the rest of my life, directing films for you alone.”

“Movie Emperor Lu is the most perfect collaborator in my eyes!”

Tang Qing gazed at Lu Zeyu with admiration, showering exaggerated praise upon him.

Of course, Tang Qing wasn’t insincere. Lu Zeyu was indeed the Movie Emperor, highly skilled and far superior to working with anyone else, such as Shangguan Linlin. If he could film with him for a lifetime, he would gladly end work early every day.

As Tang Qing continued to praise Lu Zeyu, the man’s expression slightly improved.

He couldn’t help but recall his performance from last night.

Last night was his first time.

Before that, he had never been interested in such things, not even watching many movies.

Tang Qing’s performance last night was incredibly cute, his voice was sweet and alluring, especially when… he grabbed his back and held on tightly.

Really tightly.

He believed he could give Tang Qing a good experience.

However, when Tang Qing just rejected him, it felt like his heart had been tugged at, leaving him with a somewhat empty feeling.

He suddenly started worrying if his skills in bed weren’t satisfying enough for Tang Qing, fearing that Tang Qing might be attracted to someone more skilled.

With Tang Qing’s extensive experience and broad knowledge, he heard that people in their line of work tended to discriminate against virgins. Would Tang Qing prefer someone else…?

After listening to Tang Qing’s explanation, he felt relieved.

Nevertheless, he had indeed worried too much.

He was indeed the man who had “collaborated” with Tang Qing and satisfied him the most.

But he wouldn’t be complacent. He would continue to practice and work with Tang Qing to improve.

Whether it was in skills or endurance, he would be stronger than anyone else.

He would become the best man Tang Qing had ever been with.

The man’s handsome features relaxed, a hint of tenderness seeping through his beautiful peach blossom eyes, as he softly said, “In that case, I will be your exclusive actor from now on.”

“Ah?”

Tang Qing was taken aback, never expecting that Lu Zeyu would actually agree.

Many top directors had tried to collaborate with Lu Zeyu, but not everyone could secure a deal with him. Yet, he agreed to be his exclusive actor.

It was like being hit in the face with a huge surprise from the heavens.

“Then, let’s start filming.”

Lu Zeyu reached out and placed his hand on Tang Qing’s shoulder.

“Just a moment…”

The man’s hand reached for Tang Qing’s buttons, and he suddenly realized what Lu Zeyu meant by “start filming”.

This wasn’t the beginning of a shoot on Gu Minghao’s set; they were going to film according to Tang Qing’s script.

With only two people present, it was clear who Lu Zeyu would be filming with.

Afraid to reject Lu Zeyu again, Tang Qing hesitantly said, “Movie Emperor Lu, should we maybe, go through the script first…”

Lu Zeyu paused for a moment, contemplating slightly, then asked softly, “What kind of script do you like?”

“Such as the Movie Emperor making advances on a new young star, starting with hesitation but gradually falling for the Movie Emperor. Could that work?”

Tang Qing widened his eyes slightly, finding the plot somewhat strange.

“Tangtang, let’s begin.”

After Lu Zeyu finished speaking, his expression changed.

His unparalleled handsome face no longer held its elegant and cool demeanor. Instead, he smirked, his eyes full of mischief, a mocking expression on his face as he said, “Tangtang, don’t you want this role? I’m well-acquainted with the director, arranging this for you won’t be difficult.”

The infamous “unspoken rules” script?

Tang Qing was surprised by how quickly Lu Zeyu got into character, so he tried to immerse himself in the plot Lu Zeyu had suggested.

The young man gazed up nervously at this top-tier figure in the entertainment industry, not expecting that someone of such high status would be the one to suggest such a proposition.

But he knew that to survive in this industry, he had to learn to please the “superiors” in front of him.

His deep chestnut eyes looked bewildered and moist.

As the tall man spoke, his hand not so innocently reached a certain area of the young man.

Tang Qing’s eyes widened slightly.

Due to the plot, Tang Qing didn’t move.

“Be good, neither of us will speak of this, and no one will know.”

The man reached out, caressing the young man’s delicate and fair neck, leaning in close to his ear, whispering, “You wouldn’t want to be shelved from now on, would you? It’s just a matter of my word.”

“It’s better to be with me than with other actors. They don’t have my tenderness, often playing around with young stars.”

The young man seemed frightened by the man’s words, his round almond eyes shimmering with watery light.

His fingers lightly traced the corner of the young man’s lips, satisfied to see his trembling shivers, delicately playing with the rosy lips.

Perhaps this was the “entry fee” in this circle.

The young man bit his lower lip, not daring to resist.

He obediently tilted his head back, exposing his beautiful neck and collarbone, facilitating the man’s actions.

The man seemed pleased by the young man’s compliance, leaning in to bite that exquisite and enticing collarbone.

The young man smelled good, just like his personality, possessing a kind of innocence and beauty.

When the Emperor first saw the young man, he felt his eyes were excessively clear and clean.

Like a small cat suddenly appearing in a pack of wolves.

It was a purity that didn’t belong in this circle, making him stand out among the auditionees, like a blank sheet of paper.

It made people unable to resist tarnishing him.

Today, he could finally be the one to defile that purity.

…

The two “filmed” until evening when Tang Qing got up from the bed, wanting to use the bathroom.

“What, don’t want your role anymore?”

The man grabbed the young man’s hand and planted another kiss.

“Cut!”

Tang Qing couldn’t bear the man’s apparent enthusiasm anymore, so he pushed the man away who was trying to stick to him.

“The camera’s out of battery, let’s stop filming.”

Goodness, was Movie Emperor Lu a bit too obsessed with filming?

His old waist was still aching from yesterday’s torment, not having fully recovered, and he was already overexerting himself today.

His beautiful peach blossom eyes blinked.

The man returned to his polite and cool demeanor. “Tang Qing, I got too carried away just now, I apologize.”

Tang Qing rubbed his waist, showing good temper. “Movie Emperor Lu, I know you are always dedicated and find it hard to break character. I understand.”

The man nodded calmly and deeply.

Tang Qing glanced at Lu Zeyu, enduring and enduring, but finally couldn’t help but say:

“Could you please remove your hand from my… butt.”
