"Eehh… I don't know. I don't think I'll ever fall in love with a guy like him. He looks arrogant and domineering, definitely not my type."
"I don't think he is also into you, Boss Feng," Shi Qiang said bitterly. She was an avid fan of the Movie Emperor Sun. How could she let her male god got slandered by her weird boss?!
Male God > Boss.
That was Shi Qiang's motto.
Xiaojun looked at the poster again. Indeed, this Sun Zhu guy was handsome. His face was perfectly symmetrical. Even if Xiaojun tried to find the flaw in him, he couldn't. Because this guy seemed to be born perfect, especially since Shi Qiang said that Sun Zhu was a long-reigning movie emperor.
But just like the rule of justice and fairness, Xiaojun knew there must be something wrong with this movie emperor. If a perfect CEO like him had many weird hobbies, this guy must have something as well.
Xiaojun whispered in Shi Qiang's ear, "You know that old saying? If a man is too perfect, either he is a jerk or gay. Maybe Sun Zhu is actually a jerk who plays with many girl's hearts. Or… he is simply gay."
"That is not possible! Don't you know how many girlfriends he had before? Whenever there is a new movie coming out, he will date the female lead! Emperor Sun's charm is just too much!" Shi Qiang persisted. She had been heartbroken knowing how many handsome men had turned gay for Boss Feng.
If Emperor Sun also turned out gay for Boss Feng…
"Boss, I know you may feel like you are like… the main character from a BL novel. But trust me, you are not. This is not a BL rom-com novel, written by an author that wants to write crack about gay CEO, but always forget to update because he has a main ongoing novel and a new novel planned for the annual contest!"
"… why are you so detailed about it anyway?" But Xiaojun imagined himself as the main character in a BL novel, "Hm… now that you mention something like that, it would not be impossible for me to have a lot of men chasing over me, rom-com style~ Hehe."
"I bet the author will write something amazing for an annual contest. I hope he can get lots of support from his beloved readers," Xiaojun said.
"Wait, why he?" Shi Qiang started imagining a man in his mid-twenty secretly writing BL or fantasy romance while working in the office, "Okay, that sounds cool. But you know what's cooler, Boss?"
"What?"
"What if… the Movie Emperor is actually a BL author as well," Shi Qiang looked towards Sun Zhu's poster and shook her head, "No, no, nevermind. That is simply impossible."
Ding! Xiaojun got a text notification.
*Zhu'er - 08.30 a.m
Good morning, XiaoXiao. How is your weekend? I'm currently working in a mall. I have to follow my actor for his fan meeting. He is a handsome and popular actor, while I'm just a regular cameraman/backdrop assistant, definitely not a movie emperor or whatsoever, haha. Will you still accept me with my average life?*
'Zhu'er is currently helping on a fan meeting? Is he around here?'
***
Ding! Sun Zhu got a text notification.
*'XiaoXiao – 8.32 a.m.'
UwU good morning Zhu'er! Ah, I'm also outside right now, accompanying my friend to a fan meeting. Awww, Zhu'er, don't worry about such a thing! I'm also just a regular person. I'm not like… a wealthy CEO or something. We are only two ordinary people, so it's okay!
Can't wait to meet you later!*
'XiaoXiao is in a fan meeting also? Is he in my fan meeting?' Sun Zhu was worried for a moment, but he assured himself, 'It's okay, the coincidence should not be this big. Maybe there is another fan meeting somewhere.'
Sun Zhu was busy checking his watch. He was sitting in a room prepared for him, "Aunt Tian, why haven't we started yet? I have a meeting at two."
"Aish, be patient la, don't you know it takes time to prepare?" Aunt Tian replied.
After a while, a man came up inside his room and said, "Sun Zhu, it's the cue for your entrance."
Sun Zhu put on his bright smile and walked up to the stage. He greeted his fans, who brought banners, chanting his name, and some of them even cried when they saw Sun Zhu. As an actor growing up from a child actor to be a famous movie emperor, it was not really a surprise for Sun Zhu.
However, what surprised him was the sight of a tall man at the back of the crowd, standing silently amidst the hysterical fans, 'I have a male fan? That's rare,' Sun Zhu thought. His fans are 90% women, from all age-range. So it was a bit surprising that a man joined in.
'Maybe he is accompanying his girlfriend or sister,' Sun Zhu thought before opening the signing, handshake, and selfie requests from his fans. It was just like a normal business day for Sun Zhu.
But he couldn't let go of his sight from that man. He felt… familiar.
'I wonder if XiaoXiao is here.'
***
"Boss! Isn't Sun Zhu amazing? He looks way more handsome than in the photo, right?" Shi Qiang said, her face was ecstatic after seeing Sun Zhu in front.
"Yes, I have to admit that he is like a perfect prince. Now I understand why many young girls loved him," Xiaojun replied, "His overall charm is just amazing."
Xiaojun commented, but he was not really focusing on how handsome Sun Zhu truly was like a male god descended from heaven.
…
Instead, his eyes wandered around, trying to search for his Zhu'er, ignoring the movie emperor on the stage. Maybe Zhu'er was currently working hard behind the stage for this Movie Emperor.
'Hn… I wonder if Zhu'er is here…'
