The press conference for the TV drama "All Out of Love" officially began. After a preview clip of the drama was shown on the big screen, the host invited the main cast and other actors to the stage.
As Lin Qinghe stepped onto the stage, cheers erupted from the audience, followed by Shen Feilang, You Rong, and others.
Lin Qinghe was the first to speak into the microphone, "Hello everyone, I'm Lin Qinghe, and I play the female lead, Chu Jingyue, in 'All Out of Love.' It's a pleasure to be here with all of you today."
Next, Shen Feilang introduced himself, followed by the actress playing the important second female lead, and then You Rong.
You Rong took the microphone, his expression as indifferent as ever. He stated concisely, "Hello everyone, I'm You Rong, and I play Zhang Mingxuan in 'All Out of Love.'"
After the initial greetings, the host began to question the two main leads. Lin Qinghe cooperated and interacted with Shen Feilang. During the game segment, their feet were tied together, and the goal was to pop as many balloons as possible within a set time.
Naturally, Lin Qinghe was paired with Shen Feilang, as they were the main leads. Staff members tied their feet with a strip of cloth. Shen Feilang beamed, "Sister Qinghe! Leave it to me. I'm sure we'll be unbeatable!"
Lin Qinghe forced a smile, "Mm, let's do our best! I believe we can do it!"
The host announced the game's start countdown. Lin Qinghe and Shen Feilang held hands and stepped forward together. Unfortunately, their coordination was poor. Nearly a minute passed before they managed to pop a single balloon.
Shen Feilang laughed with a hint of helplessness, "Sister Qinghe! Look at me, and try to match my steps. We have to move together!"
Lin Qinghe claimed to be trying her best, but their coordination remained nonexistent. The audience watching felt awkward; there was absolutely no chemistry between them.
Shen Feilang seemed to notice this. His eyes flickered slightly, and he feigned casualness as he urgently lifted his foot to pop a balloon. However, their feet were tied together, and his sudden movement caused Lin Qinghe to lose her balance and nearly fall forward.
Shen Feilang exclaimed, feigning concern, "Careful!" He then deliberately fell first, acting as a human cushion for Lin Qinghe, so she landed on him, and he held her tightly. The website of Sudan Novels.
Lin Qinghe grunted as she fell, the scent of an unfamiliar cologne assaulting her. She frowned in displeasure and immediately tried to get up, but Shen Feilang's arm was around her waist, preventing her from doing so quickly.
Shen Feilang continued his act, asking with feigned worry, "Sister Qinghe, are you okay? Did you get hurt?"
The audience erupted in cheers at this seemingly dramatic scene. Although displeased, Lin Qinghe couldn't do anything under everyone's gaze and could only endure it, saying, "I'm fine. Let's get up now."
It was only then that the host and others realized what had happened and helped Lin Qinghe and Shen Feilang up. The host even joked about Shen Feilang playing the hero, saving the damsel, and how it resembled some scenes from the drama.
Meanwhile, You Rong sat to the side, having clearly seen Shen Feilang's deliberate action that caused Lin Qinghe to fall. His brows furrowed, and his gaze fell upon Shen Feilang's arm.
The image of Shen Feilang's arm around Lin Qinghe's waist moments ago was particularly jarring.
Lin Qinghe and Shen Feilang's game concluded. They had popped a total of six balloons within the allotted two minutes. Later, when the second female lead and the second male lead played, they symbolically popped only three, showing no intention of surpassing Lin Qinghe's group.
When it was You Rong's turn, there were no remaining female actors on stage. As the host was about to suggest he team up with You Rong, Lin Qinghe suddenly spoke up, "Um... I want to play another round. How about this, I'll play with You Rong again!"
"Uh..." The host was surprised that Lin Qinghe wanted to team up with You Rong. After all, she was the female lead, and he was a relatively minor supporting character. The pairing was indeed unusual, but since Lin Qinghe had asked, he naturally couldn't refuse. "Alright! Then let Qinghe and You Rong play again."
Lin Qinghe and You Rong went up, and the staff tied their feet. Lin Qinghe whispered, "You Rong, let's do a call-out later. One, two, three, and we'll step together. This will ensure our steps are synchronized, we'll be faster, and we won't fall!"
You Rong raised an eyebrow slightly and said in a low voice, "...No need."
"Huh? What?"
Before Lin Qinghe could understand You Rong's meaning, the host began the countdown: three, two, one, go! As soon as the host finished, Lin Qinghe finally understood what You Rong meant by "no need."
You Rong wrapped an arm around her slender waist and lifted her entire body with one hand. Lin Qinghe's feet didn't even touch the ground. He carried her forward with swift steps, popping a balloon with each stride, moving incredibly fast.
Lin Qinghe was stunned for a few seconds. When she came to her senses, she couldn't help but excitedly cheer for You Rong, "Quick, quick... You Rong, only five left! To the right... to the left... Great! The last one! We've popped all the balloons! We won!"
Lin Qinghe excitedly hugged You Rong's neck, and the atmosphere on stage suddenly became subtly charged.
Seeing the ecstatic Lin Qinghe and the doting, powerfully masculine You Rong with a faint smile, Shen Feilang, the official "CP" (couple), instantly felt a little redundant.
The host quickly stepped in to smooth things over, congratulating Lin Qinghe and You Rong's team on winning the game, and then promptly moved on to the next segment.
Even as the event moved to the next stage, the audience couldn't help but whisper amongst themselves.
"Wow! You Rong actually lifted her with one hand. That level of boyfriend power is amazing!"
"Yeah, if you look closely, putting aside all the messy rumors, You Rong is really handsome... even more handsome than that Shen Feilang, and he has such great chemistry with Lin Qinghe!"
"Really! As a devoted fan of Shen Feilang, for a moment I even wished You Rong was the male lead of 'All Out of Love.' I'm so sorry... I've failed my beloved idol, but... You Rong's face is truly impeccable. His looks are just too stunning!"
"Yes... yes!"
Shen Feilang heard these comments, and his expression on stage immediately soured. After all, anyone would be unhappy if a supporting actor stole the spotlight from the main male lead.
The rest of the event proceeded relatively smoothly. After two hours, the activities concluded, and they bid farewell to the audience. You Rong, Lin Qinghe, and the others prepared to return to the film set.
You Rong got into his own van. He saw Lin Qinghe on the opposite side, seemingly about to get into her vehicle. Just then, Shen Feilang caught up.
You Rong couldn't hear their conversation, but seeing Shen Feilang standing beside Lin Qinghe, he inexplicably found it irritating.
While talking to Shen Feilang, Lin Qinghe suddenly heard a system prompt: "Progress increased by 2%, total progress is 34%."
