Your Rival in Love Gets Prettier Every Day
Chapter 159: Drunk

âHas anyone seen the video circulating on Shen Jintaiâs birthday event? Touhua is so beautiful!â

âI want to see, where is the link?!â

Someone immediately posted a link.

When you click on it, you can see Shen Jintai in a white shirt, half of his waist was exposed as he was doing a dance, and his hair was messy. As he turned around, he took a rose from a backup dancer and pinned it to his ear. The red rose combined with his black hair and fair face made him look exceptionally handsome.

The screams of fans can be clearly heard in the video. Although there was no live broadcast for this birthday event, there were a lot of materials online, especially Shen Jintaiâs last speech, which was hotly searched.

Of course, the main reason why it went to the hot search was due to the power of the three great masters of The East Palace. It was unique to have the three of them singing together so it wasnât a shocker that it made it on the hot search.

âMany satellite TV channels are broadcasting during Chinese New Yearâs. Itâs been replayed so many times already but every time I watch it, I still cry my eyes out. Li Xu, Zhou Ying, and Zhou Jing. The stamina of the characters are too strong. My douban* rating for watching this drama has risen.â

*According to the Wikipedia, itâs similar in functionality to Reddit.

âYeah, the three of them sang the theme song together. I only heard one sentence and got goosebumps. Itâs a pity that such a good drama will probably not be made again in the next ten years.â

âIâve been squatting all night. Why didnât I see the news of Touhuaâs public love affair? I thought he would go public tonight.â

âI donât think it was made public this time. It seems that itâs just a test to see what the public opinion is like as Yan Qiuchi was also there. When Shen Jintai sang , the big screen cut to Yan Qiuchi and many fans started screaming, an obvious sign that they have accepted it.â

âDamn, where is this video, why didnât I see it! Please have mercy on me, a JinQiu CP fan, and reward me with some sugar!â

Someone immediately posted this video. In the blurred and shaking lens, Shen Jintaiâs singing voice was faintly heard. When he sang the lyrics âLike I am with the lovely youâ, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd. The recorder can be clearly heard in the video as the sound of a girlâs voice said excitedly: âFuck me! Fuck me!â

The phone camera swayed and moved to the big screen, showing Yan Qiuchi wearing a baseball cap. When he saw the camera pointed at him, he acted a bit shy, then smiled and wave his hand towards it. The best thing is that in the next second, the camera switches to Shen Jintaiâs face. Amidst the screams of fans, Shen Jintai smiled shyly but his eyes were glowing.

âMy god, my god. This is public. Naked, so naked! Iâm basking in love!â

âItâs really no different from being public. Depending on the reaction of the gold powder, they may already have accepted him as their son-in-law.â

âTouhuaâs birthday is so grand. The sea of golden flowers looked so romantic.â

After the event, the gold powders began posting pictures of the scene. was a topic that gold powders brushed on and ranked first on the hot search. When you click on it, you can see a golden sea of lights and colorful flowers everywhere. The joy and excitement of the gold powders can be felt across the screen.

âDonât go, weâll have dinner later.â Shen Jintai shouted at Bai Qingquan and Zheng Siqi while undressing.

âArenât you busy?â Bai Qingquan asked.

Shen Jintai took off his costume in the fitting room and put on his jacket: âI will meet a few fans. You go to the restaurant I have booked and wait for me. Iâll be there in a while. Xiao Tang, you take them there.â

After Shen Jintai changed his clothes, he went to meet with a few fan representatives, took a photo with them and chatted for a bit, before getting in the car and heading to the restaurant.

As soon as he got in the car, he was completely limp. He was completely exhausted, and he couldnâtâ believe that he managed to survive that event.

âTomorrow is the 30th so you can take a good day off.â Li Meilan said.

Shen Jintai opened his eyes slightly and asked: âArenât we still filming?â

âDirector Qiu Hong sent a message and said to let you take a day off so you can adjust your mental state before filming.â

has now entered its most important parts so the scenes being filmed were all highlights. The emotions need to be extremely strong. Qiu Hong felt that he had been tired recently and was afraid he wouldnât be able to perform well. Still, Shen Jintai was happy that he could have a day off that he can use to get good sleep and recover.

They had booked two private room at a restaurant after the event. Zheng Siqi and the others were in one, while his own team was in another. Halfway through their meals, he went to his team to hand out red envelopes.

Shen Jintai: âThis year is a good harvest year, and it has also been a hard year. I didnât take a break, and everyone followed me without a break. Youâve all worked hard!â

Wang Nan smiled and said: âAs long as the year-end bonus is in place, it wonât be hard!â

Everyone laughed, Shen Jintai motioned to Li Meilan and said: âYours!â

âThank you, Brother Jin!â

The year-end bonuses were all in Li Meilanâs hands. She carried a bunch of bags of various sizes. Everyone guessed that it was gifts such as an iPhone and the like. When Wang Nan opened his bag, he immediately let out a âWowâ and clutched his chest and took a step back.

Xiao Tang and the others laughed and asked: âWhat? What?â

Li Meilan smiled and said: âEveryone has a share.â

Shen Jintai laughed and gave each of them a bag according to the name on it.

Bai Qingquan was talking to Zheng Siqi when he heard a scream from next door. He turned his head and glanced at the door of the room: âWhatâs the matter?â

Xiao Tang jumped up. As one of the oldest employees, he received a year-end bonus of more than 200,000 yuan, and his bag was full of red hundred-yuan bills!

Shen Jintai smiled and said: âI donât know what to give everyone and I was afraid to giving something you donât need, and itâll go to waste. If you think about it, itâs best just to give money. That way you can buy whatever you want!â

Stars have always been generous when giving out year-end bonus, but it was usually in the tens of thousands. Rarely did one pay more than six figures. This shows that Shen Jintai was popular enough that he earned enough and that he was also extremely generous as well. They all knew that Shen Jintai was still young and was on the rise, so the good days are just starting!

âI am a nostalgic person. Whether itâs now or in the future, I hope that our team can always be together.â Shen Jintai raised his cup and said: âCome, letâs have a toast. Everyone has worked hard this year, and weâll continue to work hard the coming year.â

Everyone raised a glass together, and Li Meilanâs eyes turned red with emotion. After drinking a glass, the team members dispersed. Shen Jintai returned back to the other room and chatted with Bai Qingquan and the others for a while. Bai Qingquan told him that the box office for their movie had hit a new high.

The reputation of had thoroughly improved that the predicted box office kept rising. It has now been raised to 1.5 billion.

Since he didnât have work tomorrow, Shen Jintai let go and drank to his content. By the time the three of them left, Shen Jintai was completely drunk. Bai Qingquan and Shen Jintai helped him walk outside and saw that it had started to snow again. The snow was light and the snowflakes were fine.

Shen Jintai staggered and said with a smile: âIâm very happy to have you with me today. I hope⦠I hope that the friendship between the three of us will last forever. No matter whether weâre still⦠popular or not in the future, our friendship will not change.â

Zheng Siqi smiled and said: âWeâll all be big hits. In the future, weâll be the big three in the entertainment industry.â

Bai Qingquan said: âDonât be sensational. If you get too overly excited, youâll make me cry.â

Shen Jintai and Zheng Siqi laughed.

When Shen Jintai returned to the hotel, it was almost midnight. He was exhausted and the alcohol did not help. In his state of lethargy, he took off his clothes and slumped on the bed. Yan Qiuchi turned off the lights and went to cuddle him. Shen Jintai suddenly woke up and kept pressing his lips on him.

Humph, I want to kiss him.

Yan Qiuchiâs heart jumped and lifted him up as he asked: âAre you sober or drunk?â

Shen Jintai didnât speak but kept pecking his lips like a woodpecker, being quite proactive. Yan Qiuchi couldnât resist and took action. When he was about to make a move, Shen Jintai had fallen asleep again.

Yan Qiuchiâs fire was lit, and he couldnât hold it down. After suffering all night, he suddenly heard Shen Jintai say: âYan Qiuchi, youâre so kind.â

Yan Qiuchi was taken aback for a moment and asked: âAre you not asleep?â

He suddenly became energetic and wanted to pull off Shen Jintaiâs clothes. Shen Jintai hummed and said: âIâm exhaustedâ¦â

âJust lie down and donât move.â Yan Qiuchi said. He wasnât planning on doing anything else besides kissing. He went to unbutton Shen Jintaiâs clothes but felt that he was motionless. It seems that Shen Jintai had really fallen asleep now.

Yan Qiuchi sat there hesitating for a long time, then buttoned up Shen Jintaiâs shirt again.

The author has something to say:

Itâs about to start.

Kinky Thoughts: Yan Qiuchi being a gentleman through and through. Iâm very curious about how the author is going to skirt around the censorship.
