Second Take On Romance - The A-List Actor Wants Me

Chapter 209: Chapter 209 : Shen Jingwei’s Two-Timing Act

Why should he?

Because...

Jin Zhuo was strongly convinced that Yan Renzhong ought to help him, but he failed to come up with a good reason.

Did he even need to?

His hand fell slack from Yan Renzhong’s sleeve.

"I... It’s my dream to be an A-List actor," Jin Zhuo weakly stated.

"It’s everyone’s dream," Yan Renzhong emphasized. "If I make an exception to everyone, it will be no exception at all. It will only be free meal ticket for everyone."

Jin Zhuo swallowed hard.

Basically, he was only one of many in Yan Renzhong’s eyes.

Probably in everyone’s eyes.

Among his circle of butler friends, he was the star, having landed a role in a popular drama, however small.

His colleagues admired his achievement, seeing him as a beacon of success within their small community.

However, in the vast world of entertainment, he was a mere speck, barely noticeable amidst the countless aspiring actors and actresses.

This knowledge hit Jin Zhuo hard.

For the first time, he looked around and realized that he did not have anything special to offer.

He was handsome, yes, but Peak Point Shooting Studio was brimming with handsome actors and beautiful actresses.

He had talent, but so did everyone else. Otherwise, how did they make it to the drama?

Yan Renzhong gave Jin Zhuo a tap on the shoulder.

"I have to go. It’s my turn. See you around."

Jin Zhuo gritted his teeth as he followed Yan Renzhong with his eyes.

He needed more support. More than Wu Jin could offer.

He needed Yan Renzhong to have his back.

But how to do that?

As he pondered the answer to this question, it appeared before his eyes.

Shen Jingwei, having just left the costume preparation chamber, joined Yan Renzhong and they walked side-by-side.

"..."

Their relationship seemed pretty good.

Yan Renzhong’s cold eyes were brimming with indescribable warmth when they looked at Shen Jingwei.

His smile was genuine, almost loving, really.

And there was something in the way he draped his arm around Shen Jingwei’s shoulder. Something that transcended the brotherly interaction between male actors.

"..."

Jin Zhuo was baffled.

The hell?

Was something going on between these two?

Driven by curiosity, he immediately turned to Weibo, the vast digital realm where information, both verified and unverified, flowed freely.

Sure enough, he found several images and videos that #RenWei fans used to gain support for their ship.

Although the videos were blurry, and probably edited by fans, they showed Yan Renzhong and Shen Jingwei chatting and laughing with each other during shooting breaks.

There were even some clips taken from "Dance Of The Dragons", where the two actors shared a passionate kiss or held each other intimately.

Not to mention the countless fan contributions that made Jin Zhuo pulled a grimace in disgust.

"..."

So was #RenWei a thing?

Jin Zhuo stared at his phone screen in confusion.

In his years of career in acting world, Yan Renzhong had locked lips and embraced countless female leads. The number of time he did bedroom scenes was endless.

This was the first time he had to act alongside a male lead. Actors with typical sexual preference would surely have difficulties adapting to the new environment, but Yan Renzhong’s performance was flawless.

One could almost say that he was acting naturally alongside Shen Jingwei, almost as if...

As if he was in love with Shen Jingwei.

And Shen Jingwei too, saw Yan Renzhong in a different light.

Their interaction held a subtle but undeniable emotional resonance, tugging heavily at Jin Zhuo’s heartstrings.

And then Feng Jietang joined the duo.

The soft pink haze that had enveloped them dissipated like mist in the morning sun.

"..."

Tension crackled in the air as the three men gathered. Yan Renzhong’s face darkened at Feng Jietang’s arrival, and even Feng Jietang seemed uneasy. Shen Jingwei stood between them, flanked by two high-profile actors from rival companies.

What was this?

A love triangle?

No way.

Jin Zhuo clenched his fingers into fists.

He had always been wondering how Shen Jingwei cultivated such a good relationship with Feng Jietang.

He initially attributed it to their starring in the same drama, but his conversation with Yan Renzhong just now opened his eyes completely.

It was not enough to just star in the same drama.

There had to be something more.

A spark to initiate a deeper connection.

Now he discovered that Shen Jingwei also had a good relationship with Yan Renzhong.

The same Yan Renzhong who pointed out his mediocrity.

Jin Zhuo watched the shoot unfold from the sidelines for an extended period, until a realization dawned on him.

The pieces of the puzzle finally clicked together, revealing a shocking and scandalous theory that left Jin Zhuo reeling.

Fuck, did Shen Jingwei sleep with the both of them?

Was this the trump card that made Shen Jingwei stand out among his peers...?

Jin Zhuo was so angry that he almost spat out blood.

When Wu Jin came to greet him, that was the first question he asked Wu Jin, "Is Shen Jingwei sleeping with both Yan Renzhong and Feng Jietang?"

Wu Jin was not sure where that came from, but he was disinclined to resolve the misunderstanding.

Any obstacle Yan Renzhong faced was a windfall for Wu Jin.

He shrugged in response.

"I mean, I wouldn’t be surprised."

Jin Zhuo cursed loudly.

"What’s the problem? Everyone is doing it," Wu Jin lightly said.

Jin Zhuo gaped at him.

"... Everyone?"

Wu Jin nodded almost enthusiastically.

"Well, take her for example."

Wu Jin pointed at the actress who played the Heavenly Empress.

"We all know she is sleeping with one of the big producers in CNC Studio."

"....."

"Or that one."

Now he was pointing at Lang Yuxuan.

"He had been throwing himself at Yan Renzhong’s neck from the moment he became his mentee. Unfortunately, Yan Renzhong got bored at him and became involved with Shen Jingwei."

"But Shen Jingwei and Feng Jietang...!"

Wu Jin pressed a long finger against his own lips, his eyes twinkling mischievously.

"You can’t speak about that unless you have a foolproof piece of evidence."

"..."

Shen Jingwei was too greedy.

Jin Zhuo was determined to put an end to his two-timing act.
