Netizens added fuel to the fire:
I specifically checked, and it really wasn't Lu Yang who said it. But how did Dad know such an obscure phrase?
Hey uncle, try harder! Look, even Dad's not playing with you anymore.
[@SquidUncleGarbage, you've completely ruined our expectations of you]
[That's enough, that's enough. Even Dad's not playing anymore, what's the point of watching?]
Sigh, I suddenly feel a bit sorry for Uncle Squid. He spent so much time researching, only to find out he was wrong...
Uncle Squid suddenly felt dizzy and fainted in front of the computer.

After being lectured by Shen Huai, Ye Cang finally resigned himself to writing songs.
However, the night wasn't entirely fruitless. Chatting with several industry insiders gave Ye Cang new inspiration. Since he couldn't change the original design, he might as well go for something big.
So when Shen Huai got up the next morning, he saw Ye Cang walking out of his room with red eyes.
Given Ye Cang's schedule, Shen Huai wouldn't believe he got up early.
"You didn't sleep all night?"
Although Ye Cang had stayed up all night, he was actually in a state of excitement because he already had a general idea for the adaptation.
Ignoring Shen Huai's furrowed brows, he pulled him straight into the room, excitedly saying, "I have a new idea..."
Shen Huai was caught off guard and almost tripped over the debris on the ground.
"careful!"
Ye Cang reacted quickly and pulled Shen Huai with all his might. Unexpectedly, just as Shen Huai was about to stand up, he lost his balance when Ye Cang pulled him and fell backward.
The clutter on both sides, piled up tirelessly by Ye Cang, was already on the verge of collapse. When the two grown men bumped into it, it tipped over and covered them completely.
Shen Huai was protected by Ye Cang and was originally fine, but when he fell, he must have hit his waist on something, and the pain made his face turn pale instantly.
Ye Cang realized he had done something wrong and, disregarding his own pain, anxiously asked Shen Huai, "Are you alright?"
Shen Huai waved his hand and slowly stood up, but he pulled on his injury, which made him wince in pain, and fine beads of sweat immediately appeared on his forehead.
Ye Cang helped him back to his room and then went to find some ointment for him. Fortunately, Shen Huai's family always had a full range of commonly used medicines. Ye Cang brought back the ointment and was about to apply it to Shen Huai.
Shen Huai frowned slightly: "I'll do it myself."
Ye Cang held up the ointment: "What are you doing? Your injury is on your waist, can you even apply it yourself? Listen to me, take off your clothes first."
Having no other choice, Shen Huai could only unbutton his shirt and take it off.
To be fair, Shen Huai's physique was not bad. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, with a thin layer of muscle covering his fair skin. A shallow indentation formed between his beautiful butterfly bones. Perhaps because he was not used to exposing his body in front of strangers, his body was somewhat stiff, and that indentation seemed to become even deeper.
Ye Cang, who had been speaking righteously, suddenly stopped.
My heart was pounding, and a tingling sensation shot from my feet to my head. I barely knew what I was going to do.
After not hearing any movement from Ye Cang for a while, Shen Huai couldn't help but shift his body: "What's wrong?"
Ye Cang came to his senses and said somewhat flusteredly, "It's okay, I'll apply the medicine for you right away."
His gaze darted downwards, but when it fell upon the bruise on Shen Huai's lower back, he immediately snapped out of it, banishing all those lewd thoughts from his mind.
He squeezed out some ointment, rubbed it in his palm to warm it, and then applied it to Shen Huai's wound.
Shen Huai's skin was slightly cool, but when it suddenly came into contact with the scorching heat, it gave him goosebumps. The stimulation made him shudder and try to run away, but Ye Cang forcefully pressed his shoulder down.
"Don't move."
Ye Cang had no other thoughts at this moment, he just focused on rubbing away the bruises on Shen Huai's wound. His palms were calloused, and when they touched Shen Huai's skin, they seemed to bring a numb and itchy feeling, which almost made him groan.
Shen Huai was held by the shoulder and could not move. He could only grit his teeth and endure it, trying not to make a sound.
By the time Ye Cang had rubbed away the blood clots, both of them were covered in sweat.
Shen Huai hurriedly put on his clothes, keeping his eyes downcast and not looking at Ye Cang: "Go take a shower, the film crew will be here soon."
Ye Cang touched his nose, vaguely sensing that Shen Huai was suppressing his emotions. Not daring to do anything reckless at this moment, he obediently went out to take a shower.

When Cherry and the others arrived, Ye Cang was eating breakfast absentmindedly in the living room.
Cherry greeted him energetically, "Good morning, Ye Cang!"
Ye Cang remained listless: "Good morning."
Cherry looked around but didn't see Shen Huai. Curious, she asked, "Where's my manager? Why isn't he here? Is he feeling unwell today?"
Ye Cang said with a hint of melancholy, "He's injured and resting in his room."
"You're injured?!" Cherry's eyes widened. "How did you get injured? Where are you injured?!"
Ye Cang didn't want to talk about those embarrassing things, so he just said casually, "It's nothing serious," and refused to say anything more.
Cherry didn't dare to ask any more questions. Although Ye Cang was usually carefree and seemed to have a good temper, Cherry's animal instincts told her that this person was not to be trifled with, and she didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of him.
Because the room was filled with clutter, Ye Cang had to move his workspace to the living room. He had an inspiration and made quick progress, but he seemed preoccupied and not as focused as usual.
