Liang smiled and said calmly, “Uh huh. I didn’t say you like men. Maybe the person you like happens to be a man.”
The actor looked stunned and was confused by her words. That’s right. Why did he feel such trepidation whenever he was in the presence of Gong Jie? In fact, he would feel a little uneasy and would try to hide that by being evasive.
Could it be… The actor bit his fist. Could it possibly be that… he was subconsciously interested in Gong Jie?!
No, no, no… This was Liang Yin leading him on. He looked up sharply at her, his eyes ablaze. Liang Yin was stunned.
“What are you looking at? Hurry up and memorize the script.”
Liang Yin said aggrievedly, “What script? Didn’t the production team stop filming because of Tang Yu’s matter?”
“We don’t know when we’ll resume filming. If you don’t remember your lines when we start, you won’t be able to catch up even if you spend late nights studying.” With this, Hua Jin found the script and tossed it in front of her. “Go through the script!”

Liang YIn grunted, reluctantly picked up the script and read it in silence.
The actor left the room. Liang Yin hid her face behind the script and watched him go, then breathed a sigh of relief.
The actor returned to his room and lay down on the bed, frustrated. He tossed and turned, but sleep would not come.
He covered his face with the blanket.
No way…
Could he have been single for too long?
So much so that he was beginning to imagine things, even to the point of doubting his own sexual orientation…?
…
“Qin Zhou?”
In the café.
Hua Jin stirred his coffee as he stared into space. Sitting across from him, his agent raised an eyebrow and glanced at him. “What?”
“Do you have feelings for men?”
“Pfft…” Qin Zhou almost spat out his coffee. His eyes widened, and he snorted. “My orientation is perfectly normal,” he said expressionlessly. “Why? Have you changed your orientation since you became a woman?”
“Of course not!” The actor insisted, “I like women!”
His repeated emphasis drew suspicion from the manager. “Why are you repeatedly saying that? It’s almost like you’re trying to convince yourself.”
“Someone had some doubts about my orientation.”
“Oh? That has always been the case, hasn’t it?”
Hua Jin’s sexual orientation had always been the subject of gossip in the media. Many paparazzi wondered if he was gay. The question, of course, had never been answered with any certainty.
“What’s the big deal about liking men?” The manager added, “In the industry, it’s actually pretty common to see same-sex relationships. There are also those who like both men and women! Investors are best at that.”
In this industry, some investors had particularly voracious appetites. Not only did they have many women, they would also keep young men.
Actually, one’s potential orientation is not something that’s cast in stone.
Sometimes when a man likes another man, it does not necessarily mean he’s gay. It’s something pure, simply because the person he likes happens to be a man.
“The announcement that Tang Yu was fired from the production team will probably be made public soon.” Qin Zhou took a sip of his coffee and continued, “You’ll need to push Liang Yin to consolidate the script. The crew will probably resume filming shortly.”
“Well then…” The actor asked tentatively, “Who will replace Tang Yu?”
“Anyway, it’s not an important role. When the time comes, we’ll see whom the investors have chosen as a replacement.”
