The two of them accompanied Shi Fu while he drank until he was thoroughly intoxicated.
An Yushu looked at Sang Luo, feeling lost. “Sang Luo, should we take him with us?”
Sang Luo paused slightly. “I do not know where he lives.”
“Then what should we do?” An Yushu thought for a moment. “How about we take him to my place? I am not heading back to the family estate tonight.”
“Okay.”
As Sang Luo and An Yushu helped Shi Fu up, the latter struggled feebly. “Scumbag, go to hell.”
Sang Luo was strong enough that supporting him was not an issue. Shi Fu was taller than both of them, and his physique was neither scrawny nor overly bulky. He possessed well-proportioned muscles with extremely beautiful lines.
Just as they stepped out of the bar to bring Shi Fu to the car, a vehicle suddenly pulled up in front of them. The door opened, and a tall man stepped out.
“Hello. Please, give Shi Fu to me.”
The man’s voice was pleasant to the ear, possessing the deep and steady resonance of a cello.
“Who are you?” An Yushu took two steps back. He did not lower his guard just because the man was exceptionally handsome.
“I am his elder brother, Shi Jing.”
He gave a soft smile, and his gentle gaze made it difficult not to trust him. “Rest assured, I am not a bad person.”
In the end, An Yushu let go, albeit half-doubtingly. He grabbed a few of Sang Luo’s fingers and said, “Then you take him back.”
“Alright.”
As Shi Jing took Shi Fu into his arms, the latter remained restless. He struggled to open his eyes and asked, “Shi Jing? Why are you here?”
“To pick you up.”
“Stop meddling.” Shi Fu looked weary and glared at Shi Jing. “Hurry up and find a man to marry yourself off to. Do not come here to manage me.”
“Yes, yes, yes,” Shi Jing smiled helplessly. “Let us go home first.”
“You liar,” Shi Fu muttered rudely. “Annoying fellow.”
Shi Jing showed no hint of anger. Instead, his expression was one of doting indulgence. “Scold me as much as you like.”
With a final shout of “Shameless!” from Shi Fu, the car door closed and they drove away.
An Yushu watched the departing car and could not help but ask, “Are they really brothers?”
Sang Luo replied indifferently, “I do not know.”
An Yushu did not pry further. He said his goodbyes to Sang Luo and headed home. Sang Luo waited by the roadside until a white car appeared. The window rolled down, and Huo Xun’s eyes seemed even more tender under the moonlight. “Get in the car.”
“Okay,” Sang Luo responded and climbed in.
He had no idea that after they left, a camera flash had gone off and their silhouettes had been captured.
The next day, a shocking trending search topic suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and its content was jaw-dropping.

Attached below were photos of Sang Luo with An Yushu and Shi Fu. There were even photos of Huo Xun picking him up and Sang Luo entering the car.
Except for An Yushu, the faces of the others were not clear. Shi Fu was pixelated, and Huo Xun never stepped out of the vehicle, so the photographer likely did not know his identity.
This kind of photo is lethal for a celebrity, especially when someone is intentionally stirring the pot.
- “I did not expect him to be this kind of person. He must use that face to seduce people all the time.”
- “So many people. I am gagging. Is Sang Luo two-timing everyone?”
- “Did anyone see An Yushu? Sang Luo rejected him during the confession, but now that they are not on the show, he scurries off to meet him privately?”
- “Disgusting, truly disgusting. Get lost, you are an eyesore.”
However, some people remained rational and felt that a few photos proved nothing.
- “Wait, could they not just be friends?”
- “A few blurry photos with no signs of intimacy. This is unnecessary.”
- “Where did this marketing account come from? Are they desperate for fame? Xingchen Media will send a lawyer’s letter in minutes.”
Meanwhile, a meeting was underway at Xingchen Media. Huo Xun’s expression was fierce, and his brow was clouded with a dark, terrifying gloom.
“Find out who took those photos immediately. I want results within the hour.”
“Understood, I will arrange it now.” No one dared to cross Huo Xun in his current state.
“Brother, do not worry, I will handle it,” a gentle male voice said, soothing those who heard it.
“I know,” Huo Xun rubbed his temples. “Do not let the mastermind off the hook.”
After the meeting, Huo Xun called Sang Luo. “It is me. Do not look at the rumors online. I will handle it soon.”
“I know,” Sang Luo was currently chatting with Shi Fu.
“Those two need to step forward. We cannot let this reputation stick to you,” Huo Xun said thoughtfully. “We must clarify your relationships completely.”
“I understand. Thank you.”
Hearing Sang Luo’s voice, Huo Xun’s mood improved slightly. “No need to be polite.”
After hanging up, Sang Luo glanced at the lazy Shi Fu beside him. The latter rolled over and leaned slightly against Sang Luo’s side. “I will post a clarification in a bit.”
“Okay.”
As for why Shi Fu was here, it began when Huo Xun saw the trending search and headed to the office. Shi Fu had seen it at the Shi residence as well. He asked Sang Luo for his address and arrived immediately.
Shi Fu had been dropped off by Shi Jing. Upon arriving at the Huo family villa, Shi Jing had given a meaningful smile. Clearly, they both knew about the relationship between Huo Xun and Sang Luo. Since the Shi family had business dealings with Huo Xun, the straightforward Shi Fu had simply asked about their status. After some thought, Sang Luo admitted he was married to Huo Xun.
Shi Fu did not ask more. He told Shi Jing to get lost and followed Sang Luo inside. Once in the living room, Shi Fu claimed he had a headache, so Sang Luo brought him to his own room. This was unusual for Sang Luo, who rarely let acquaintances into his personal space, but he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with Shi Fu.
Using the official account of the luxury brand MOM, Shi Fu reposted the trending search with the caption, “Same roles. Impossible.”
He followed it with a photo of himself and Sang Luo and the caption, “Do not be so bored. It is none of your business who I hang out with.”
The comment section exploded. People realized that Shi Fu, the famous photographer and founder of MOM, was the man in the photo.
Simultaneously, Xingchen Media released the full surveillance footage. It showed the group clearly: Shi Fu was drunk and supported by Sang Luo and An Yushu until Shi Jing picked him up. Then An Yushu left and Sang Luo was picked up by a company car.
The truth was out. The accounts that smeared Sang Luo deleted their posts, but Xingchen filed lawsuits for defamation regardless. The photographer turned out to be a man whose resume Sang Luo had rejected for an assistant position earlier that morning.
An Yushu also released a statement explaining that due to his family background, he rarely felt warmth, and Sang Luo was the first to show him genuine concern. He clarified they were just friends and warned that he would not tolerate further rumors.
The farce settled, but it was only the beginning. In this industry, enjoying the spotlight means bearing the risks. Only by staying true to oneself can one truly endure.
