From that day on, Yu Yang led a life of stark contrasts.

 

Every night, he tasted the sweet and honeyed taste brought by the peach spirit. But after inhaling the peach spirit, reading funny comments from netizen, digesting the latest recommendations from fellow fans in the super topic on Facebook, and sleeping peacefully in the sweet and peach-scented room, the next day he had to face the frustrating reality of being a dog actor.

 

How many people can handle such a stark contrast?

 

Because Jasmine is an actress of the drama "Seeking Immortality," the entire cast and crew went to watch this TV series being broadcast on Blue Platform and Tomato Platform to support her.

 

Originally just for formality, the result was that seventy to eighty percent of them got hooked.

 

Even those who didn't get into the plot were captivated by the character Sweet and were clamoring in the group chat that this is summer, summer is sunshine, short skirts, peaches.

 

As a result, the peach elements in the drama team increased more and more.

 

On one side, there's a box of chilled peach juice drinks, on the other side, a pack of peach gummy candies. The girls who are afraid of getting fat and dare not eat too much secretly swap for themselves a pink peach water cup, or wear a peach-patterned printed T-shirt. In short, everything related to water peaches has taken over all places beyond the camera lens.

 

Besides the uncontrollable shopping spree, there are also spiritual shareholders staring at the ratings of that drama every day, exclaiming that they keep rising.

 

1.6, 1.8, 2.2!

 

Jasmine, who plays the role of Sweet, didn't react much, but others were excited as if their drama had broken the two ratings.

 

Yuyang has seen Jasmine looking bewildered when she saw young girls share their latest peach-themed items with others.

 

Every time he sees this scene, he really wants to laugh.

 

It must be said that while Jasmine has a strong presence of dog on set, she is actually quite cat introverted. She keeps her distance from the crowd, not very proactive, and seems a bit difficult to approach. This somewhat comforts Yuyang, but whenever he thinks about how Jasmine was all about cats and peaches in her previous two dramas, and now she's a dog here... life is so unfair!

 

Yuyang is like this, criticizing while working on this drama, never forgetting to watch and follow the drama series daily. He is usually very attentive, even down to changing the style of his hotel room, but he never made a fuss about it.

 

The first three days of filming were quite sweet, but by the fourth day, things started to go awry. In the seventh episode, Sweet left something at Qinchuchu, played by Ni An, the heartthrob. She urgently needed it and coquettishly asked her boyfriend to help her get it. He went to get it, and he and Qinchuchu exchanged meaningful glances.

 

In the eighth episode, Effort Sister got promoted at work, and her group of close friends planned to celebrate together. After drinking a bit too much at the bar, three out of the four got drunk. The heartthrob had developed a high alcohol tolerance from going out often, so she called a car to take everyone back. The last person she dropped off was Sweet, who lives with her boyfriend, providing them with another chance to interact.

 

The scumbag No.1 noticed Qinchuchu's charm and from that moment on, he started making some moves behind Sweet's back.

 

When Yuyang saw this, he almost exploded but managed to hold back.

 

However, it didn't matter much because the next day's plotline was the heartthrob's birthday. The scumbag No.1 secretly bought a necklace to give her, but she haughtily rejected it.

 

Qinchuchu said she couldn't accept it and asked him to take it back and not do this again.

 

The little bastard indeed took it back and then gave it to his own girlfriend, claiming he had spent over an hour choosing it to see if she liked it.

 

Sweet was very happy, wore the necklace to a weekend gathering with her friends, and proudly told the other three that her boyfriend had specially picked it for her. The director gave a close-up shot of Qinchuchu slightly smirking, as if mocking her.

 

Yuyang couldn't contain his anger anymore and angrily posted on his social media: "This drama is driving me crazy! Where did this harmful trash come from? Sweet, wake up and kick this scumbag out now! I'll protect your happiness, Zhao Yang, get lost! Sweet's happiness is under my protection!"

 

...

 

In fact, since the day before, there have been many criticisms on Facebook and social media about Qinchuchu and the scumbag No.1. Jasmine's super-rich second-generation friends have already gone crazy with anger, and yesterday Ben even trended on the hot search list, only to have another do-gooder expose Yuyang's social media post.

 

"Jasmine went on a variety show and said that Yuyang doesn't like her, he likes cats. I almost believed it!"

 

"Haha, Yuyang is throwing a tantrum on social media again. It's the first time I've seen a top actor like this..."

 

Fans couldn't help but cover their faces when they saw this.

 

-- "I thought he had changed this time, but he's secretly watching the drama again."

 

-- "Secretly watching the drama and getting all puffed up, you're an actor too, brother! Is it necessary to be so emotionally invested in watching a drama?"

 

 

-- "Why don't you look at yourself before saying that?"

 

--"What can I say?... Let's all just tolerate my silly brother."

 

--"Woah... So, after falling for the cat, did big brother fall into the trap of the peach spirit? Does he really like the peach spirit or does he like that actress?! "

 

-- The crew of 'Seeking Immortality' said they didn't have much interaction, and that big brother is just a surface fan, not as supportive of Jasmine as he appears on his social media.

 

-- Is this still just the surface? Then who can resist his true feelings?

 

-- I'm starting to feel jealous of the women who can make big brother truly fall in love!!!

 

The idol is obsessed with peaches, fans were initially sour about it, but then they posted on Facebook saying even if he treats Sweet this way, they still can't hate her, the peach spirit is really despicable!

 

Oh well, let's just temporarily lend big brother to her, after all, she's so unlucky to keep bumping into scum.

 

The fans made a splash, and it trended again.

 

#UnrequitedLoveExposed, the top idol's love interest turned out to be her#

 

#818 The woman that made thousands of fans jealous#

 

#Yu Yang: I will protect Sweet's happiness#

 

...

 

Don't be fooled by friends who are glued to the drama, Jasmine herself doesn't watch it. She just reads through the script, puts on a face mask at night, and goes to sleep; the next day when she arrives on set, she feels like something's off with everyone.

 

It wasn't until she asked her assistant that she found out about the commotion last night.

 

She was late to see the drama on her friends' circle. Jasmine hadn't even had a chance to complain about it privately, before Yu Yang arrived at the set and gave Jasmine a lecture.

 

"Can't you be a bit smarter? Being deceived by such trash!"

 

-- "?"

 

"Just look at his face, he's not a good person. Also, that necklace he said he spent over an hour choosing for you, you believed that without considering if it matched your style? The gifts he bought for the temptress that she didn't like, he just passed them on to you, and you happily accepted them, not only that, you even wore them to meet the temptress. I'm so mad at you!"

 

-- "..."

 

"How can you be so worrying? There's a limit to being naive!"

 

-- "..."

 

Yu Yang said a bunch, seeing Jasmine's lack of reaction, he asked her, "Did you hear me? Go back and break up with him, tonight!"

 

Jasmine glanced at him, "Did big brother drink too much? How did his brain get so muddled?"

 

Yu Yang went all dramatic, "After our parents passed away, I'm your only family, and you still don't listen to me. You arguing with big brother for a scumbag is breaking his heart."

 

A few people nearby, already changed into their costumes, were trying not to laugh while filming them with their phones.

 

Yu Yang had to make it clear to his silly sister, Jasmine had no choice but to surrender, promising to be more vigilant next time, vowing not to make the same mistake again.

 

"So, are you breaking up with him tonight?"

 

"... Not tonight."

 

"Why not?"

 

"You go ask Director Lang, he's the one who said no."

This morning, the official Facebook account of the 'Seeking Immortality' crew posted a three-minute long video.

 

Seeking Immortality crew Facebook:

 

#Today'sGoofiness##YuYang##Jasmine#

 

"Yuyang's fans all come to see, is your Idol treasure brother? Love it, love it. [Video]"

 

Fans were eager to get firsthand information about the TV series, so many rushed to watch it as soon as it was posted. People at work, in class, almost burst out laughing.

 

-- In the office, I was struggling to hold back my laughter, my colleagues were giving me strange looks.

 

-- Seeing big brother genuinely upset, that look of frustration and disappointment was hilarious.

 

-- Do you see how helpless Jasmine looks?

 

-- Written all over Jasmine's face: 'Are you a fool?'

 

-- Fresh Boy: 'You're the fool for being fooled by that kind of man! It infuriates me!'

 

-- Isn't the funniest part at the end? Yu Yang insisted on them breaking up tonight, Xu Mi said no, when asked why? She said Director Lang didn't allow it.

 

-- Director Lang taking the blame like a champ.

 

-- I get it, sisters, follow me, let's get rid of Director Lang Jun.

 

...

 

Poor Director Lang had just woken up from a dream, reminiscing about last night's ratings, ready to enjoy a hearty breakfast, when his phone rang.

 

It was a call from a friend in the circle. Lang Jun initially thought the person was calling to congratulate him, but little did he know the first thing mentioned was to check Facebook and that he might miss the chance to be pushed out.

 

Lang Jun: ?

 

"What's going on?"

 

Even if the plot from last night angered the audience, they should becriticizing Zhao Yang and Qin Chuchu instead, as they were the ones scheming to hurt Sweet's couple.

 

Lang Jun, filled with doubts, logged into his Facebook account and saw the notifications and comments indicated by the red dots, making his vision darken. Gathering courage, he scrolled through a few pages only to find out that it was the crew of "Seeking Immortality" causing a stir!

 

Yu Yang not only played the older brother in the drama but also arranged a moral education class off-screen, insisting that Jasmine should break up with the scumbag.

 

The show had already finished filming, so why break up now?

 

How could Jasmine not drag others into this mess?

 

She said she couldn't break up because the director wouldn't allow it.

 

And so, Lang Jun, who was once proud, suffered a "web attack." Initially targeted by fans of YuYang's fans, later, even the casual fans of Sweet turned against him, forcing him to repent and apologize to Sweetie.

 

Lang Jun: ... 

 

Just watching a drama, and you all take it so seriously.

 

However, he could only complain silently in his heart, putting on a show of submission to the public.

 

Lang Jun's V: "I have deeply realized my mistake.

 

Please spare me, dear viewers.

 

-- "Have ou spared me? Can you bear to torment my baby like this?"

 

-- "Lang Jun, you have no heart!"

 

-- "If you had a heart, you wouldn't come up with such a storyline!"

 

Lang Jun's V:

 

"I just wanted Sweetie to grow through adversity."

 

-- "You're the one who should to grow through adversity, not her." →_→

 

-- "I feel heartbroken just thinking about how she'll react when she knows the truth. You could have tortured anyone, but you chose my sweetie. You're a jerk."

 

Sand sculpture netizens obsessed with the drama battled with Lang Jun several times. Finally feeling a bit relieved, it was time for their daily routine of watching dramas. After watching two episodes, they were infuriated once again.

Director Lang: "I'm really suffering."

 

Sister Jasmine: "Who isn't? _(´ཀ`」∠)_
