Lu Ze recognized the approaching figure but didn't struggle. He put his phone into his pants pocket and allowed Mu Chen to lead him away.

Zhaochen halted his steps only when he reached the depths of the small grove, where he could catch a glimpse of the man-made lake on the other end.

The sunlight penetrated through the lush branches and leaves, casting mottled shadows on the ground. The breeze from the lake blew in, bringing in a refreshing coolness.

At this moment, Lu Ze casually withdrew his arm from Mu Chen's grip, neither hurried nor slow.

He had a smile on the corners of his mouth, but his face looked somewhat gloomy, indicating that he wasn't in a good mood. "Superstar, are you trying to make a fool out of me? First, you got drunk and came to my room, then you blocked me from contacting you, and now you personally came to the school to find me. It's hard for me to believe that you have no feelings for me."

"You... " One sentence from Lu Ze made Mu Chen almost explode with anger. Has this person become too confident? How could he possibly like another man?

However, he currently needs help from someone and requires Lu Ze to step forward and explain, so he can only endure it for now. "Haven't you seen today's news? If you haven't, you must have been busy with Weibo."

Shortly after someone exposed the scandal between Mu Chen and Lu Ze on Weibo, major entertainment sections of various news websites also placed their scandal on the front page. Even though the company later released a statement, there was no sign of the scandal's heat diminishing in the slightest.

I glanced at it. So what? Lu Ze approached Mu Chen.

Mu Chen took a big step back and leaned his back against the trunk of a large tree. "I was thinking..."

Lu Ze interrupted Mu Chen's words with a light laugh, "You're not trying to take advantage of this opportunity to stir up some publicity and get me to cooperate with you, are you?"

When misunderstood, Mu Chen's temper immediately flared up. "I'm not stupid, why would I think about creating hype with a man?"

Those media reports are one thing, but Mucen doesn't want to be misunderstood by another man like this again. If this incident continues to escalate, what should he do if everyone mistakes him for being gay? What if one day he has a change of heart and wants to settle down, get married, and have a stable life with a wife and children, but no girl wants to marry him?

"Nurturing a scandal with a man, wouldn't that be ruining my future?" Mu Chen slowly restrained her emotions.

Lu Ze looked at this man who was worshipped by a group of brainless women every day, his temper exploding with just a few words of provocation. His appearance was indeed amusing.

"Why did you come to find me? Are you here to confess your feelings because you were embarrassed last time and didn't make yourself clear?" Lu Ze deliberately provoked him with his words.

Lu Ze did not like being bothered by someone every day, especially when that person was a man. He could tell that Mu Chen was not interested in him, otherwise Mu Chen would not have fled after explaining that nothing had happened between them last time. But this feeling of making someone so angry was quite satisfying.

Ruoze's words were very effective, and Mu Chen was easily provoked by him again.

I've fucking told you before, I don't have that kind of intention towards you. I came here today hoping that you could come forward and clarify that between us, it was completely innocent. We just got drunk, slept peacefully in a guest room together for one night, and that's all there is to it.

After a burst of roaring, Mu Chen's anger in his heart remained unrelieved for a long time, even causing his face to turn slightly red. Aside from the previous encounters on set where they had met, their close interaction only happened three times, so why did this guy have to label him as someone who liked men?

Muchen had some doubts. He glanced at Luze's neck and could faintly see a few marks on it. The originally dark purple marks had faded after two days and turned into a light pink color.

"Luzé, you wouldn't be hiding something from me, would you?" Mùchén felt that something was amiss.

On the day of the completion of the filming of "Early Summer Memories", one of the final scenes was between Lu Ze and the female lead. Mu Chen was standing by during the shoot. It was scorching hot that day, and everyone was wearing thin short sleeves. If Lu Ze had ambiguous marks on his neck, even if he didn't notice, other people in the crew would surely notice. It was obvious that these marks appeared only that night. If there were other people in Lu Ze's room that night, they definitely wouldn't keep him. So, did he make those marks?
