Chapter 39 - Lemon Flavored Film Emperor Gong (18): How does a kiss worth eight figures feel?

Editors: Amaris, rubhyl

During the release of 《The Rose that Blooms on Doomsday》, even if He ChongFeng didn’t fight back, the gossip about the male and female leads raged on.

Most of the BEEs were sensible enough to understand that He ChongFeng’s attitude was not a tacit admission, they knew that he was someone who was able to confess his love in front of the whole world. If Wu LiLi was that person, he definitely wouldn’t have involved her in this PR mess. But He ChongFeng had refused to issue a public statement and Wu LiLi had kept making trouble—she happily showed off her ring and revealed that she wanted to get married as soon as possible—it was like the fans’ hearts were strapped onto a roller coaster.

Gou Liang squeezed his eyes and said to He ChongFeng, “It’s not going to be pretty when their goddess makes her wedding photos public and everyone finds out that the one she’s marrying isn’t you, but a geezer with a beer belly who’s old enough to be her dad.”

He ChongFeng had no interest in other people’s gossip, so he just went along with him. Then they heard the director call everyone back to work.

Since the night of the Crown Prince Dianxia‘s wedding, he and Guan Hui had been sizing each other up secretly, yet on the surface, they were inseparable.

Their relationship was like arsenic-soaked candy, addictive yet agonizing.

Nevertheless, no one wanted to reveal the truth underneath.

After the crown prince finally eliminated the influence of his relatives from the court, the Empress Dowager was no longer in power and the new emperor’s prestige was high. The Emperor intended to abdicate the throne to the crown prince, but enemies then invaded and threw the incompetent court into chaos.

How could the capable crown prince agree to such disadvantageous terms for peace?

After a few rounds of stalemate, Guan Hui was ordered to go on a mission to break the deadlock.

The night before the expedition.

Guan Hui appeared for the last time in the east palace, in the Crown Prince Dianxia‘s bedchamber.

When he arrived, the imperial consort was accompanying the crown prince. She was grinding ink while dreamily looking at the crown prince. He would occasionally return her gaze and they would both smile like a pair of immortal lovers.

Guan Hui felt the sight unsightly, he made his footsteps louder deliberately.

“Your humble servant, Guan Hui, has something important to discuss with Your Highness.”

The imperial consort immediately put down the inkstone and was about to take her leave when she saw the Crown Prince Dianxia wave his hand and laugh. “What brings my beloved subject into the palace at this late hour? If it isn’t important, Gu will go to rest with the imperial consort.”

The imperial consort flushed with embarrassment.

Guan Hui said in a deep voice, “The army is about to depart. As the commander-in-chief, there are some military matters that must be discussed with Your Highness. I hope Your Highness will bear this burden.”

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince Dianxia directed an apologetic look towards the imperial consort. There was a bit of warmth in his eyes.

The imperial consort bowed with eyes filled with tenderness. “In that case, this wife will not disturb Your Highness’ deliberations with Guan-Daren. This consort will take her leave.”

The imperial consort turned to leave, not seeing how the tenderness in Crown Prince Dianxia’s eyes was torn away like a mask, leaving only an expressionless face. He threw away his brush and indifferently asked, “Could it be that you are not prepared even though you are leaving tomorrow? Do you need Gu to stay up all night strategizing for you? Any leader like the general should have a plan in mind before they act. Wasn’t that what you’ve taught Gu, Master?”

Guan Hui stood up and strode forward to pick him up, his eyebrows as sharp as knives. “You’re keeping her here tonight?”

The Crown Prince Dianxia pushed him away and said with a half-smile, “Why not? She is my legitimate consort. Not just tonight, after General Guan leaves the palace and the capital, Gu’s affairs will be none of your business.”

Guan Hui endured his anger and looked at him with dark eyes. Seeing that the crown prince was completely oblivious, he suddenly withdrew his chilly aura and affectionately brought the other person into his arms, tenderly kissing his temples. “Your Highness, I don’t know when I will see you again after tomorrow. There is a chance that… Why bother holding a grudge at this time?”

The Crown Prince Dianxia did not answer the question, but his brow softened noticeably as he said, “I knew what you came here to do, so why bother pretending? If Master wants something, he need only come and take it…”

“Your Highness, can I take your words at face value?”

“…Do as you wish.”

Guan Hui’s eyes flashed with delight. He picked the other person up, kissing his cheek as he strode towards the inner chambers.

The bed curtains were lowered, but the two intertwined figures behind were still visible. They tacitly understood that this would be their last time, so this wanton indulgence was both pleasurable and painful.

……

Guan Hui sat on the bed with his bare chest exposed, looking down at the crown prince who was using his arm as a pillow.

A strand of long hair was stuck to the crown prince’s cheek due to sweat, Guan Hui brushed it back for him. He gently nudged the crown prince’s exposed shoulder with his other hand, asking quietly, “Do you hate me?”

The crown prince opened his sleepy eyes which still held traces of lust. It took him a moment to realize what the other was saying.

The Crown Prince Dianxia laughed and said, “Hate? For what reason? Does my beloved subject not know that…Gu has never loved a person so much in my life?”

Guan Hui listened to his sweet words and laughed as well.

……

The victory announcement was followed by the news that the general had sustained serious wounds and perished.

The Crown Prince Dianxia hurried to the border, but only got to see him one last time.

“…Master.”

He looked at the bloodless man on the bed from afar, not daring to approach.

The military doctor stimulated one of Guan Hui’s acupuncture points, immediately waking him. Upon seeing the crown prince, Guan Hui struggled to get up only for the other person to stop him.

“This subject, Guan Hui…was fortunately not dishonoured by death.”

“You…did well.” The Crown Prince Dianxia said, “Get better quickly. As long as you don’t die, the first thing Gu would do after ascending the throne is to vindicate your Guan Clan’s name and make it known to the world!”

But Guan Hui said, “Whether or not we are labelled rebels or traitors, what importance do worldly matters hold for the dead?”

The Crown Prince Dianxia carefully rested a finger against the faint pulse on his neck. Tears threatened to fall from his eyes but he would not let them. He said fiercely, “I-if you dare to die, I will crush your bones to dust and scatter them…”

But Guan Hui knew that his time was up. He smiled. “Your Highness, I have no regrets after getting to see you one last time.”

“Liar!” The crown prince choked and snapped, “To this day, you’re still lying to me! Guan Hui, you want to die in front of me so that I’ll remember you and suffer for the rest of my life! Don’t be delusional! If you die, Gu will completely forget you…”

Guan Hui laboriously raised his hand to touch his face. “Don’t cry.”

He said, “If I had known about today, that day I would have…”

He laughed and left his words forever unfinished.

“Guan Hui? Master!!”

“Open your eyes! Don’t you dare fall asleep, I won’t let you!”

“Master, Master…”

Yet he could no longer wake the other. The crown prince touched the other’s gradually cooling face as silent tears fell from his eyes. He murmured the other’s name, terrified and dazed.

……

“CUT!”

“Great job, Ah Feng! You’re killing it!”

The set suddenly became lively, but the person they were praising continued to hug Gou Liang and quietly whisper to him.

Gou Liang wasn’t being too immersed into his character, but his tear ducts seemed to have malfunctioned. He couldn’t stop crying even if he wanted to. He said to He ChongFeng: “I don’t want to act out tragic scenes with you anymore, it makes me feel bad. T_T”

This feeling of helplessness was just like when he once held Shi Yu in his arms, watching as his vitality gradually drained away….

He ChongFeng amicably agreed to everything Gou Liang asked for.

Gou Liang’s part would be over in three days, then the crew would be busy with the finishing touches.

At the wrapping up party, the “imperial consort” who believed herself to be quite close to Gou Liang leaned in and whispered to him, “How good is your male god at kissing? Does it feel like it’s worth three million?”

Gou Liang: “Three million? Girl, that was a few years ago. His kisses are worth at least eight figures now.”

“Wow, then how does a kiss worth eight figures feel?”

“Of course it’s…” Gou Liang deliberately paused here. Under the expectant gazes of the little girl and the people around them, he spoke quickly, “…excellent~.” He then blew a loud kiss at He ChongFeng, causing the crew to laugh uproariously.

While dealing with the enthusiastic writers, Gou Liang didn’t forget to eat some spicy crawfish.

In a short while, he had a growing mountain of lobster shells beside him, and his mouth was ringed with oil.

He ChongFeng, who had been dragged by Director Zheng into a conversation about life goals, came over with a wet wipe to wipe his mouth. “Let the crawfish live. Don’t eat them all.”

Although he knew what Gou Liang’s invincible black-hole stomach could do, he still couldn’t help but worry. Gou Liang had no choice but to turn to battle the fresh poached fish. One crew member who easily cried was driven to tears. “If only Guan Hui was this attentive towards His Highness…wuwuwu…”

Gou Liang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

The work here just came to an end, so Gou Liang planned to spend some time with He ChongFeng. However, Zhao Bin unexpectedly came to the door again soon.

—He took Gou Liang to the airport to shoot a luxury car commercial overseas.

Gou Liang: “When did this happen? How come I didn’t know? Is my male god going too?”

“Stop dreaming.” Zhao Bin said, “You would definitely shoot it down if I told you in advance. Mai Tao, I must tell you in all seriousness that the way you are right now is hindering your own career!”

“Just look at He ChongFeng. He’s number 9 on the purple list and this ‘Doomsday Rose’ is only going to push him up. I suspect that after ‘War’ airs and the artist list is revised, his rank will go up. Then look at you. You’re only number 123 on the green list! You only have popularity with no projects to your name! You can’t even touch his heels!”

“Do you know why so many people believed that gossip with Wu LiLi? It’s because she’s also on the purple list! Now that ‘Doomsday’ is off the air and Wu LiLi’s self-directed show is over, how many people do you see are criticizing her? Virtually no one. In fact, most people are feeling sorry that He ChongFeng has such poor taste! If you search for the list of potential partners for He ChongFeng, Wu LiLi is still in first place! You didn’t even make it on the list even though you’re his actual boyfriend! Why? It’s because you’re still just a green list newbie. Don’t you know that if you continue to ruin yourself like this, sooner or later there’ll be a green hat on your head too—”

“Stop!”

Gou Liang couldn’t listen anymore.

“I’m only going to ask you one thing. Is it too late for me to refuse now?”

“Of course it is!”

“Then shut up.” Gou Liang pulled out his phone, incensed.

Zhao Bin huffed. “Good thing I had the foresight not to tell you. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have come obediently—Huh? What’s this??”

He could only watch as a little person came out of Gou Liang’s phone. It should have been a Q-rated holographic baby, but… Zhao Bin incredulously rubbed his eyes. A holographic baby that was visible without VR glasses? That was unbelievable, my cute little newbie!

He ChongFeng—who was remotely instructing the Agent of War crew on holographic technology—felt his phone vibrate. A little holographic baby with peach blossom eyes and little pear dimples poked half his body out. “Calling my male god, quickly pick up the phone~”

He ChongFeng immediately stopped typing and poked those little pear dimples. The holographic baby happily dove back in and answered the call.

“What’s wrong, Little Fool? …Wu, is it time to eat?”

The holographic baby on Gou Liang’s side opened his mouth to say the same words as He ChongFeng. His voice was soft and glutinous and also a little coquettish.

Zhao Bin shuddered. He could hear He ChongFeng’s actual voice, albeit slightly processed. He didn’t want to know further about what this pair of husbands were up to…

The little lemon holographic baby smiled sweetly.

But the little fool holographic baby hung his head sadly as he sat down on the phone screen. “Wen WuZhao’s forcing me to go to the airport. He said that we’re going abroad to film a commercial, the type that doesn’t allow you to take family members along.”

The little lemon holographic baby’s smile disappeared. His chubby face mirrored He ChongFeng’s serious and discontented expression. “How many days will you be gone?”

Gou Liang’s followers after《Wilderness Survival》had already broken 100 million. He wouldn’t have any problem rising to the red list if his lackluster portfolio wasn’t holding him back. This problem troubled not only Zhao Bin but also He ChongFeng. Although he didn’t say it, he was in a hurry to finish the post-production of《Agent of War》during the filming of《River Mountains》. He devoted himself solely to the very long post-production after filming was finished, just so that 《Agent of War》 could air as soon as possible.

He was currently at a critical juncture and couldn’t leave.

The little fool holographic baby counted his fingers before holding up three of them. “At least three days, at most to a week. I’ll be away from you for at least three days, so that’s two nights I can’t cuddle you to sleep… I’m so sad, I want to go home now. Male God, Male God, come defeat my poison-apple stepmother and take me away~”

He ChongFeng thought for a moment and found this timeframe tolerable. “When you’re outside, be good and listen to your agent. Don’t run around and come back right after, alright?”

Little Fool was upset, he bared his teeth. “I can’t believe you won’t miss me at all. ╭(╯^╰)╮”

Little Lemon smiled. He lifted his little hand in a petting motion and said softly, “Be good, be good. I’ll be at home waiting for you to come back.”

Little Fool made a hugging gesture, and He ChongFeng gave him one of his fingers to hug and nuzzle. “Okay then, you watch the house well.”

Little Lemon took the initiative to initiate a kiss. (づ￣3￣)づ

Little Hole also enthusiastically (づ￣3￣)づ.

Zhao Bin watched as Gou Liang pouted and kissed that holographic baby’s mini mouth. Then, Film Emperor He’s characteristic deep voice could be heard making a slightly filtered mwah sound softly…

This world is changing too fast for me to accept. (╯- _ -)╯╧╧

Zhao Bin asked what this was after they hung up.

Gou Liang said smilingly, “My dowry.”

Zhao Bin: So it really was given to him by He ChongFeng.

But…had the WE Engineering Department already produced such a high-grade holographic baby that not only could be seen with just the naked eye but also touched? How come he didn’t hear anything about it? But that was not the main point. This technology alone would quadruple WE’s market value!

Thinking of his 2% stake in WE, Zhao Bin felt like he was floating on air. He was eagerly anticipating the day this holographic baby went public.

A long time later, he realized that…this dowry was one of a kind.

After realizing the truth, Head Agent Zhao would cry in the washroom. But at this moment, he was still an idealistic young man filled with hopes and dreams. He renewed his enthusiasm and took Gou Liang on a five-hour flight to a foreign country to shoot a luxury car ad.

Unlike other advertisements received by newcomers, Gou Liang’s first advertisement was already A+ grade—it was for one of the top ten international brands in the world, and he was the only one featured in it as well. Gou Liang would be the spokesperson of three new cars. In the entertainment circle, this kind of job was worth its weight in gold. Only S-grade PSAs were better.

Zhao Bin told him, “There’s just one requirement to be on the red list, to have filmed at least one A-grade ad.”

This restriction made the orange list a bottleneck for many artists, but Zhao Bin was planning ahead, which showed how ambitious he was.

Gou Liang appreciated this about him.

An SUV, a sports car, and a commercial sedan.

Three sets of commercials were shot. Gou Liang played the travel-loving explorer, the rich young master and an industry elite over five days.

When he got home…

He ChongFeng was still in the same position as he was that day when Gou Liang was tricked into going downstairs by Zhao Bin. There were several cartons of instant noodles scattered around him and the entire room was filled with a scent unique to shut-ins.

Wearing a pair of glasses, his hands were flying across the keyboard. His phone was always beside him.

When the time came—

The little fool holographic baby came out of his phone and said, “Male God, Male God, it’s break time~”

He ChongFeng took off his glasses and eagerly poked his fingers on the holographic baby, but his eyes were full of loneliness. “When are you coming home, Little Fool?”

Gou Liang couldn’t help but speak up ↓

“Male God, Male God, I’m back~~”

He deliberately imitated the soft voice of the holographic baby. He ChongFeng didn’t react for a second, then his eyes moved away from the holographic baby who was nuzzling his fingers towards the door.

Gou Liang was leaning against the door, smiling at him. His eyes were like brightly shining stars.
