Mu Chen originally thought that this matter would come to an end, after all, nothing had happened between the two of them.

But just as he was about to finish his short holiday and enter the second day, rumors about him and Lu Ze exploded on the internet.

An ID named "I am afraid of who I am" on Weibo uploaded a video. The content of the video was about the wrap-up dinner. Mu Chen got drunk and stumbled out of the elevator. He mistook Lu Ze's room for his own and tried to open the door with his room card. After several unsuccessful attempts, his temper flared up, and he kicked the door. However, the door didn't open, and he ended up falling on the ground, unable to get up.

After about a minute or so, the door was opened and Lu Ze, wearing a bathrobe, walked out of the room. There was a person lying in front of him. Lu Ze squatted down, waved his hand in front of the person's eyes, and when he received no response, he helped the person up.

If only that were the case, but just as they were entering the door, Mu Chen, who was being supported by Lu Ze, suddenly hugged him. From the perspective of the video recording, it looked like he kissed Lu Ze, and in the end, he pushed him into the room.

Mu Chen had no recollection of this particular segment.

The video was taken clandestinely, and the footage is rather blurry, but Mu Chen could confirm that it was him and Lu Ze.

The person who posted the video probably thought the picture was blurry, and some people might not be able to recognize the main characters in it. After posting the video, they also posted a set of nine photos. The photos included pictures of how Muchen and Luze entered the room, as well as pictures of the two of them in the lobby the next morning, with Luze's hand resting on Muchen's shoulder.

The person who posted the photos and videos captioned them with text. It said, "Rising star Mu Chen had a passionate night with the male actors from the crew, openly showing their affection the next morning."

After the videos and photos were released, it took less than an hour for the number of re-posts and comments to surpass ten thousand. Some people cursed Muzhen for being homosexual, while others defended him, saying that these photos and videos only showed Muzhen staying in the same room with a male actor after getting drunk. They argued that it was unknown what happened behind closed doors, and that there was nothing strange about men living together.

Some media official accounts also retweeted these videos and photos, with a variety of different titles.

"25-year-old actor Mu Chen indulges in a romantic affair with 19-year-old newcomer actress in a hotel."

"Actor Mu Chen is no better than a beast, not even sparing a 19-year-old male college student."

Within a short period of time, even Lu Ze's identity was exposed.

Strangely, these news releases did not mention Lu Ze's name at all. They were all replaced with phrases like "drama college students" or "newcomer actors."

This made Mu Chen doubt once again whether Luo Ze was up to something.

However, Lu Ze's face was indeed exposed. Having rumors about a same-sex relationship is not beneficial for newcomers. Mu Chen also felt that he was overthinking.

After the videos and photos were uploaded to the internet, they spread like wildfire and flooded the entire web. The scandal between Mu Chen and Lu Ze immediately sparked heated discussions among netizens.

And within this period of less than an hour, Luo Chen's phone was bombarded with calls. There were well-intentioned reporters, concerned friends, and also inquiries from the company.

In order to clear his mind, Muru Chen had to turn off his phone so that he could contemplate how to clarify things.

As a result, since they couldn't reach his manager, Liang Xiao, they went straight to his house.

After hearing a rapid doorbell ring, Mu Chen saw Liang Xiao's gloomy face in the doorway. The thick lenses on his nose seemed unable to conceal the raging anger in his eyes.

What's bound to happen will always come. Mu Chen reluctantly steeling himself, opened the door.
