Comrade: Almost a Cat-astrophic Love Story

Apart from the fact that the two male leads were men, Fu Sichen selected all of the scripts carefully, and the plot and characters weren’t bad at all.

Although Pei Zhen took issue with it, one brilliant script hooked him the moment he started reading it. It was somewhat of an ‘Infernal Affairs’ equivalent.

One of the main actors had a split personality and to get close to a figure relating to his assigned duty, he sought the help of a psychologist to erase the memory of his previous involvement with the triads—so that he could join the police force.

He and the other main actor then became good friends.

They developed a close bond that was very sweet in the beginning, but that turned into bitter hatred once they found out about each other’s true identity.

The reason that Pei Zhen liked the conflicting role was because of the challenge it presented. For instance, the outwardly hostile character was actually quite kind-hearted; and how the exterior righteousness of the character hid his secretive, dark past.

It was very emotive!

It brought out a rare enthusiasm in Pei Zhen, and he found himself thinking of this script even during mealtime.

The glass of milk placed before Pei Zhen was giving out a faint aroma, and Pei Zhen’s gaze fell onto Fu Sichen’s long, slender fingers.

“I’ve thought about it. Don’t you regret it.”

Fu Sichen raised an eyebrow.

“If I take up this role, then this year’s Best Actor Award will certainly come to me.”

Fu Sichen, strangely, liked Pei Zhen’s smug look. There was a sparkle in his eyes.

“Great.” Pursing his lips and trying not to laugh aloud, Fu Sichen said softly, “I’ll wait for that moment.”

Once that was settled, Pei Zhen was more enthused than Fu Sichen. He prodded Fu Sichen to inform Wang Youquan, and he would give Xiao Nian the heads-up.

Only, the moment Pei Zhen picked up the mobile phone, it went off with an incoming call from his manager.

“Pei Zhen!” Dong Hai Fairy Girl Xiao Nian Nian sounded out-of-breath and was shrieking at the top of his voice, “Tell me! Are you possessed by the spirit of Fu Sichen?!”

Waking up late in the day because his artiste didn’t have any assignments, Xiao Nian was going to contact his wife to have a round of online gaming when he noticed a message pushed out by Weibo. He almost passed out reading it.

Pei Zhen posted a ‘Like’!

The four letters were like four daggers piercing right through his heart!

“What possessed?” Pei Zhen scratched his ear carelessly. “To be honest, previously, Fu Sichen’s big thumbs-up ‘Like’ post was my doing too.”

Xiao Nian, who was unaware of that, was flabbergasted.

“Well.” Pei Zhen was more concerned about the outcome. “I’m sure now no one will say that Fu Sichen and I are hostile towards each other.”

“Ummmm…” said Xiao Nian, “They recognize it to be in line with your personality and that you’re the same old smug person.”

What?! Pei Zhen was disgusted.

After they hung up, Pei Zhen hurriedly logged into Weibo.

While the Netizens did respond warmly, they ascribed the reason for Pei Zhen to have posted the ‘Like’ to be due to his arrogance. That was painful!

“Tsk tsk, this is indeed Daddy Pei. Who else would dare to declare that Best Actor Fu likes him.”

“Pei Pei is such a lazy person, who is to say that this ‘Like’ posting wasn’t made by Xiao Nian instead. Recently, the couple has been making big news.”

“Logical, reasonable. I’m sure Xiao Nian is trying to milk Daddy Pei’s market value.”

Pei Zhen couldn’t believe it.

His heart was racing anxiously like a thousand horses. Or, more like, what the fxxx.

“Let’s break up.” Pei Zhen was infuriated just looking at the hot search. He glared at Fu Sichen. “I’ve never seen you in such a pathetic pairing—we even failed at a scandal attempt.”

There was no way a break-up would happen. Fu Sichen smiled as he pursed his lips. He walked towards Pei Zhen and drew the man against himself. “It seems that being together isn’t easy.”

With a click, he conveniently took a picture of them and uploaded it with a declaration.

“We are very close.”
