Upon seeing Lotus Paste Orange Filling’s public display of affection on Weibo, fans, naturally, strongly condemned this “immoral behavior.”
[It’s everyone’s responsibility to care for single dogs! Everyone’s responsibility! Orange Goddess, doesn’t your conscience hurt? [Image]]
The accompanying image, of course, was a golden crispy chicken. These fans uniformly commented with this picture under Lotus Paste Orange Filling’s Weibo, hoping to awaken the Orange Goddess’s conscience. They wanted the cute and wealthy goddess, not this villain who constantly showered them with dog food!
However, to the fans’ disappointment, Lotus Paste Orange Filling seemed to completely ignore their comments. From that day on, Lotus Paste Orange Filling’s daily routine, besides confessing to Rong Xu three times a day, was finding new ways to flaunt her affection.
[Lotus Paste Orange Filling: I miss you so much. Do you miss baby, @Lotus Paste.]
Fans immediately clicked on the “@Lotus Paste” account, only to find it was a zombie account. Clearly, Lotus Paste Orange Filling hadn’t even tagged the right person.
[Lotus Paste Orange Filling: Baby has been very good recently, @Lotus Paste]
Fans’ mouths twitched, feeling their 24K titanium alloy dog eyes had already gone blind.
Such “dog food” Weibo posts were countless. Although Lotus Paste Orange Filling was one of Rong Xu’s prominent fan leaders and a famous “wealthy and beautiful goddess,” her constant display of affection inevitably led many people to unfollow her.
But Lotus Paste Orange Filling didn’t care at all. Even though her Weibo followers had decreased by ten thousand in the past month, she continued to enthusiastically confess her love to Lotus Paste. And recently, her displays of wealth had become fewer and fewer. Originally, Lotus Paste Orange Filling wasn’t a person who loved to show off, only having flaunted a house once on Weibo. But ever since she started confessing to Lotus Paste, she truly seemed to have become “good.”
The fifteen thousand copies of “Rong Yan” album were never mentioned again by Lotus Paste Orange Filling. When “3200 Miles” was released, she only posted one movie ticket stub, no longer hundreds of tickets, nor did she rent out theaters to invite fans to watch the movie.
Such a well-behaved Lotus Paste Orange Filling felt unreal to the fans, but seeing this “wealthy and beautiful goddess” suddenly become so… “delicate”—yes, delicate—seeing her delicate way of confessing, fans’ hearts strangely melted a little.
[Orange Goddess is really so cute, confessing so happily every day. I wonder if her boyfriend even sees it.]
[If I had a girlfriend as cute and silly as Orange Goddess, I would definitely spoil her for life!]
[LS (Lounge Seat, referring to the person above) count me in. Before, I only thought Orange Goddess was different from other rich second-generations, so I followed her to see. But now, after seeing her confessions to Lotus Paste so often, I suddenly feel like she’s just an ordinary young girl, maybe shyly acting spoiled with Lotus Paste every day.]
Netizens were buzzing with discussions; some unfollowed, while others grew to like her.
And of course, they didn’t know that the “delicate,” “shy,” and “spoiled” young girl they spoke of was currently walking through the glass corridor of Huaxia Entertainment. Sunlight streamed through the windows onto that handsome and noble face. Qin Cheng calmly raised his hand and pulled down the sunglasses on his nose, his sharp, slender eyes gleaming with a cold light, exuding an extraordinary aura.
Delicate?
Shy?
Spoiled?
Xu Jin was the first to object!
The filming of “Limit” had not yet completely finished, and Qin Cheng’s return to China this time was for matters concerning the charity foundation. Last month, after Rong Xu discussed the matter with Luo Zhentao, Luo Zhentao began to arrange the foundation’s affairs for him, and Xu Jin also proactively helped. The preliminary preparations for the foundation progressed smoothly. Today, they were preparing for the final meeting, and three days later, it would be announced to the public.
Luo Zhentao directly held the foundation meeting in a conference room at Huaxia Entertainment. Rong Xu had also established a charity foundation in his previous life, so this time, he was well-versed. The moment the conference room door opened, Rong Xu turned his head towards the door, and his gaze met that of a certain man.
His lips involuntarily curved upward, and the young man smiled as he waved. When Qin Cheng stepped to Rong Xu’s side and sat down, he turned his head to look at Luo Zhentao next to him, his gaze calm: “Brother Luo, let’s begin.”
Establishing a foundation sounds simple, but in fact, it is very complex. This meeting lasted until evening before it finally concluded. Not many people attended the meeting, only the professional elites personally selected by Luo Zhentao and Xu Jin to work for the foundation. They were just waiting for the foundation to be officially established to properly operate this behemoth.
Yes, the foundation established by Rong Xu and Qin Cheng was bound to be a behemoth.
As early as a month ago, Rong Xu and the man had decided on the foundation’s name. They had originally planned a more conventional name, but Qin Cheng held his young lover and earnestly whispered, “Call it ‘Rong Yan.'”
Rong Xu didn’t react immediately, his mind instantly recalling his album: “‘Rong Yan’?”
Qin Cheng nodded: “Yes, it’s Rong Yan.”
This wasn’t an unprecedented situation; charity foundations could be named after their founders. But after a moment’s thought, Rong Xu frowned: “It’s related to my name, that’s fine. But you also founded this foundation, don’t you need to name it?”
The answer to Rong Xu was an extremely tender kiss.
Qin Cheng gently kissed the young man’s beautiful brows and eyes, and softly said, “This foundation can only be established because of you.”
Qin Cheng was not someone particularly eager to contribute to society. Admittedly, he often participated in public welfare activities, filmed public service advertisements, or directly attended charity events. For example, when he previously participated in a charity event, he once bid a high price for several of Rong Xu’s costumes from the “Ambush” set. However, that was the extent of his involvement.
For the Rong Yan Foundation, Rong Xu and Qin Cheng have both signed an agreement: from now on, twenty percent of their earnings from every film and television project will directly go into the foundation’s account!
Qin Cheng earns at least hundreds of millions per film, and Rong Xu’s current earnings are also in the tens of millions, approaching a hundred million. It’s foreseeable that in the future, both their earnings will definitely exceed one hundred million, and they will each have at least two projects per year.
Many celebrities, after establishing foundations, solicit funds from society, contributing little themselves, and primarily offering their fame. However, the two founders of the Rong Yan Foundation are genuinely investing significant capital into the foundation, and this capital will not be exhausted over time; instead, it will continuously increase.
When Rong Xu made this decision, Luo Zhentao was surprised but did not object. Qin Cheng even signed the agreement directly, without expressing any opinion on the proposal. This is the Rong Yan Foundation, Rong Xu and Qin Cheng’s foundation.
When this foundation was officially announced to the public, it immediately sparked widespread discussion. Unbeknownst to them, fans had already accepted a fact: Rong Xu and Qin Cheng seemed to have a very good relationship. Whether it was their past travels together in Europe or their frequent interactions on Weibo, they appeared like extremely close friends. But now, seeing them actually establish a foundation together, fans suddenly realized—
[Rong Rong and God Qin’s relationship is actually this good!]
It’s often said that even close siblings should keep clear accounts, and anything involving money tends to cause various conflicts. There’s an old Chinese saying: “One can share hardships, but not wealth.” Yet now, Rong Xu and Qin Cheng have actually established a foundation together, becoming financially entangled. It would be absolutely impossible to confidently do this with someone unless their relationship was incredibly strong.
Since the male gods’ relationship was so good, the fans’ relationships naturally became more harmonious.

The day after the foundation’s establishment, Qin Cheng flew back to Canada to continue filming. Before he left, Rong Xu, dressed in pajamas and with his hair still unkempt, stood unenergetically at the entrance, watching him leave.
After putting on his shoes, the man looked up at his young lover. The beautiful young man was still half-asleep, leaning against the wall, watching him while yawning. Physiological tears immediately welled up in the corners of his eyes, making him look adorable and innocent.
Rarely seeing his lover in such a cute state, Qin Cheng raised an eyebrow. He didn’t speak, just quietly watched. After a long while, Rong Xu realized something was amiss. He weakly raised his eyes and asked, “Didn’t you say your flight was at 7:00 a.m.? Xu Jin is waiting downstairs. Why aren’t you leaving yet?”
Qin Cheng gently curved his lips and softly said, “Xiao Xu, shouldn’t you reward me…”
Rong Xu slightly furrowed his handsome brows and retorted, “Why should I reward you?”
Qin Cheng answered as if it were obvious: “Because I actively responded to the organization’s call and contributed my part to charity, ahem…”
The young man calmly withdrew his fist, smiling: “Mr. Qin, isn’t that what you should be doing? Dedicating your life to the organization is your responsibility. The organization will remember you. Go, I won’t see you off.”
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Rong Xu turned around, rubbing his waist as he walked towards the bedroom. Last night, that man had really put him through the wringer. They hadn’t seen each other for a long time, and it went on until three or four in the morning before it finally ended. Who would have thought the man would wake up refreshed at five-something? He was so sleepy he just wanted to go back to bed.
However, Rong Xu had only taken two steps when he was hugged from behind. Strong, lean arms wrapped around his waist, preventing him from leaving. He heard the man’s hoarse voice whisper in his ear: “Just a little reward, just one.”
Suddenly recalling some Weibo posts he had seen a few days ago, Rong Xu’s spirits lifted, and his lips curled: “So, delicate, spoiled, shy Orange Goddess, what do you want me to reward you with?”
“Just tell me what your alternate account is.”
Rong Xu pushed aside the arms and walked away: “Xu Jin must be getting impatient downstairs, bye bye.”
Qin Cheng: “…”
He wouldn’t even tell him such a small thing!
There were very few people Qin Cheng couldn’t handle, but unfortunately, his young lover was one of them.
Watching Rong Xu walk back into the bedroom and close the door, Mr. Qin shook his head with a wry smile, left to drag his luggage downstairs by himself.
However, he had indeed tormented his lover too much last night. Having not seen each other for days, he simply couldn’t hold back. By the end, Rong Xu even shed a few tears, so angry that he bit his shoulder hard. It was probably a mix of pleasure and exhaustion.
On the way to the airport, the handsome and elegant man lowered his gaze, pondered for a moment, and then posted a Weibo message.
[Lotus Paste Orange Filling: You bullied baby, baby is unhappy. Come comfort baby quickly! , ,??? , ,!]
Since it was only five or six in the morning, not many fans were commenting on Weibo.
However, not long after, Qin Cheng received a message from his young lover:
[Your message woke me up. You bullied me, I’m unhappy. Come comfort me!]
The man’s thin lips curled, and he rapidly typed out a string of shameless love words and sent them. Rong Xu’s side paused for a long time, only replying with “That’s more like it, sleeping now,” and Qin Cheng didn’t disturb his young lover further.
However, he calmly opened his alternate account and, looking at the hundreds of thousands of followers, very calmly clicked inside.
His young lover wouldn’t tell him, so he couldn’t find out? Being woken up by a notification meant that Rong Xu’s alternate account must have followed Lotus Paste Orange Filling, and specifically, had special notifications turned on. It’s just that… the Lotus Paste Orange Filling account had over a hundred thousand followers…
Qin Cheng sighed softly. It was a long and arduous road, but at least there was a direction now.
In early September, “3200 Miles” was pulled from theaters worldwide. This major international co-production film ultimately grossed 11.8 billion yuan at the box office. This achievement ranked second among Clemens Holt’s commercial blockbusters and third among Rong Xu’s works.
Although this film’s box office performance might not seem exceptionally high in Rong Xu’s film career, in fact, it was the second highest-grossing film globally in 2045!
After the film’s theatrical run ended, it entered the highly lucrative period for DVDs and merchandise sales. The sales of “3200 Miles” DVDs were remarkably impressive, raking in money worldwide and directly topping this year’s movie DVD sales charts.
For a time, Rong Xu’s popularity reached its peak since his debut. In music, the sales of the “Rong Yan” album officially surpassed “Lost Wings” last week, becoming Rong Xu’s highest-selling album and topping this year’s Chinese music sales chart. In film, Rong Xu boasted three films with box office grosses of over ten billion yuan, an achievement that places him at the very pinnacle globally.
The establishment of the Rong Yan Foundation further garnered widespread social attention for Rong Xu. At this point, this young actor was only missing a “Three Golds” award trophy. The Golden Rooster Award, the Oscars, and the Golden Bear Award. He already possessed many trophies from second and third-tier awards, but these three “Best Actor” trophies were still elusive.
Rong Xu’s fans weren’t worried about this; their Rong Rong was already so amazing, achieving such excellent results within two years of his debut. Rong Xu’s haters could only mock him in this regard, sometimes saying, “What kind of big star is he without the ‘Three Golds’ recognition?” and sometimes saying, “Qin Cheng got the ‘Three Golds’ trophy at sixteen, but some people are already over twenty and still can’t get it.”
Upon hearing this, let alone Rong Xu’s fans, Qin Cheng’s fans exploded first—
[Our God Qin and Rong Rong are good friends, haters don’t try to drag us down. Rong Rong only debuted at eighteen. Are you going to magically pull out a sixteen-year-old ‘Three Golds’ trophy for him from Africa? Rong Rong is amazing and great, we all love him! God Qin’s friends are our friends, haters get out!]
These malicious attacks could no longer affect Rong Xu himself. His fans also didn’t force their Rong Rong to chase any specific awards. Does not having awards mean he’s not a good actor or doesn’t have good works? As long as he’s Rong Xu, as long as he’s willing to act, they are willing to support him in cinemas!
How Rong Rong’s acting is, you haters don’t need to acknowledge!
Luo Xi observed the clashes between fans and haters and reported everything to Rong Xu. Hearing these things, Rong Xu smiled helplessly, shaking his head: “I don’t really have strong opinions about awards, but Sister Xiao Xi, I’m not completely unwilling to pursue awards; I just haven’t found a suitable script yet.”
Three days later, a script was delivered to Huaxia Entertainment, reaching Rong Xu’s hands. After carefully studying the script for a week, Rong Xu immediately had Luo Zhentao sign a contract with the production team.
At the end of September, a film crew held its commencement ceremony in Hong Kong.
Male Lead: Rong Xu.
Female Lead: Xia Muyan.
