      As a researcher, Jiang Songshi diligently cultivated fungi.

      Divided into three sections, shaken on time, temperature precisely controlled…

      Then, the fungi went bad.

      In a fit of anger, Jiang Songshi went out to clear his mind and found a newly-formed wild mushroom.

      The little mushroom swayed its head, foolishly grinning at him.

      Considering mushrooms are also fungi, Jiang Songshi took the little mushroom home.

      His experience in the laboratory told him that mushrooms could easily go bad.

      So, the little mushroom’s clothes had to be the softest, its food the greenest, kept in the mouth for fear of melting, cradled in the palm for fear of dropping1含在嘴里怕化了,捧在手心怕摔了 (Hán zài zuǐ lǐ pà huàle, pěng zài shǒuxīn pà shuāile) – This is a figurative saying that is often used to describe parents’ excessive doting on their children.

      But…

      Your ex-boyfriend is a bit of an eyesore.

      Rong Ke’s top celebrity boyfriend made a public announcement about his relationship with someone else.

      As he was about to reject the man handing him a business card, he learned of this news.

      He crushed his cigarette and glanced at the card—it was from the top fashion magazine in the industry.

      Rong Ke took the card, his tone lazy and casual: “How do you want to shoot?”

      Yan Zhi had always thought Rong Ke was a conservative person, but on the day of the shoot, Rong Ke was much bolder than he had imagined.

      He attributed this to Rong Ke’s professionalism as an actor, until he accidentally witnessed Rong Ke’s breakup with his boyfriend. Only then did he realize Rong Ke’s behavior was out of the ordinary.

      Seeing Rong Ke being scolded yet too lazy to refute, Yan Zhi “kindly” stepped in to support him, “You were amazing last night.”

      —Referring to the shoot.

      The boyfriend gaped at the two of them, and Rong Ke knew Yan Zhi had nothing better to do and couldn’t be bothered to clarify, “It’s because you guided me well.”

      Having lived a mediocre life, Rong Ke never expected he would one day become a hot trending topic, even overshadowing the promotion of his ex-boyfriend’s new drama.

      Everyone was curious: Who is this person, and why is Yan Zhi praising him so much?

      Yan Zhi × Rong Ke

      Prince Syndrome × Lazy Indifference

      *The Gong is gorgeous and domineering, a fashion industry prince who does as he pleases.

      *The Shou is handsome and indifferent, an out-of-date actor who treats filming as just a job.
