The content of the shoot was simple—there was no script, just sex. However, before the filming, Cheng Xu had to go through a series of preparations. First, the stylist gave him a new haircut, then handed him a bathrobe to go shower and clean up.

Though there was someone available to assist with the cleaning, Cheng Xu declined. The manager responded, “Since you’re a novice, we’ll have someone check the cleanliness afterward. It could be quite awkward during filming if it’s not done properly.”

Cheng Xu’s face stiffened, his fingers tightening on the bathrobe, but he quickly nodded, “Okay.”

He had already come this far, what was there to hesitate about now?

The bathroom was spacious and luxurious, featuring an especially large mirror that reflected Cheng Xu’s features. His looks were handsome; he had even been voted the most gentlemanly man of the year once, with the media describing him with words like “gentle,” “modest,” and “cultured.” His demeanor was indeed mild, always maintaining an elegant composure, making it impossible for anyone to fault his manners.

But that was before his bankruptcy.

Now, there were slight wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and without the embellishment of high-end clothing, his former air of refinement seemed diminished, making him look no different from an ordinary man.

No, perhaps even more downcast.

Cheng Xu gave a wry smile in the mirror, then began to undress. His body was proportionate, neither flabby nor notably muscular. Aside from his fair skin and long legs, he seemed to lack any other distinctive features. He stripped and stood under the shower, thoroughly washing himself. The bathroom was well-equipped, especially for “0s,” and even had an intelligent enema device. Cheng Xu had never used such a device before, and it proved quite challenging, taking nearly an hour to clean himself thoroughly.

Feeling weak in the legs and a throbbing soreness in the expanded area, Cheng Xu leaned against the wall as he stepped out, wearing only a bathrobe. The manager was already waiting outside and smiled at him, then waved a hand, “We’ll do the hair removal next, and then another rinse.”

Given the small proportion of homosexuals and the scarcity of women, many “straight men” also watched GVs, preferring pale, youthful boys. Hair on parts of the body other than the head and eyebrows could be off-putting, so they performed hair removal on the actors. The modern hair removal devices needed only two sessions to completely remove hair without it growing back.

Cheng Xu hadn’t expected this, and he paused, but he didn’t refuse.

The hair removal was conducted by a “New Female” who barely spoke or looked at him, just focused on the task, which somewhat relieved Cheng Xu.

After enduring so many derogatory glances, every fresh experience still made him uncomfortable.

The hair under his arms was quickly removed, leaving his armpits smooth and clean. Cheng Xu’s body hair was sparse to begin with, and it didn’t take long to remove the hair from his arms and legs. When the person reached towards his groin, Cheng Xu instinctively flinched, “Is this necessary too?”

“Yes, only the hair on your head and eyebrows can stay,” the “New Female” said gently, without any odd inflection in her tone.

Cheng Xu reluctantly let go, allowing his pants to be pulled down for the removal of his pubic hair.

Inevitably, his penis was manipulated during the process, and despite his efforts to resist, he became erect. He quickly apologized, “Sorry…”

“It’s okay.”

Cheng Xu felt awkward, and the brief duration felt painfully long. When it was finally over, he was about to get dressed when the “New Female” said, “Not yet, there’s still one more area that needs attention.”

Cheng Xu paused, “Where?”

“Your anus.”

Hearing those words, Cheng Xu blushed and murmured, “There shouldn’t be any…”

“Let me check, please. It’s my job, thank you.”

After a tense ten seconds, Cheng Xu slowly turned around, for the first time in his life voluntarily presenting himself in such a way to another person.

“Spread your legs a bit more, good, that’s fine.” It seemed the person checked briefly before saying, “Actually, it’s quite clean here, no need for more.”

The “New Female” quickly packed up and left. After the door closed, Cheng Xu reached for his bathrobe, but then remembered he still had to rinse off, and stopped himself.

How had it come to this? If there were any other way, he certainly would have taken it…

But considering his situation, Cheng Xu sighed softly. Were there really no people left willing to help him?

When he emerged from the bathroom again, Cheng Xu’s face had regained its calm, and all his struggles and resentments were buried deep inside.

It’s just the body, just fifteen times, what does it matter?

As another “New Female” donned rubber gloves and spread open his rear to check, Cheng Xu was trying to adapt. He closed his eyes, trying to ignore the strange feeling, but it was difficult to do so. The person’s fingers entered him, stretching his rectum perhaps to check for a small hole, and soon after, they withdrew and replaced by a sticky liquid.

“Don’t be tense, I’m helping you dilate so it won’t hurt later,” said the “New Female,” still with a gentle voice that was pleasant to hear.

“Thank you,” Cheng Xu tried to relax.

“You’re welcome, it’s my job.” This “New Female” was evidently more vivacious, “Whenever there’s a shoot, I help the actors dilate. My technique is really good! Does it hurt? It must hurt a bit since you’re not a ‘New Female,’ and it’s your first time. Honestly, I was quite surprised to see you here; I used to buy magazines with interviews of you, I still have them saved.”

Cheng Xu couldn’t find any malice in her tone, so he couldn’t muster any annoyance, nor could he rudely tell her to be quiet, simply responding, “Thank you.”

“Really, it’s no trouble. I’ll make sure you’re well-prepared. Today, your co-star is very thick and quite long, he was chosen from the Dark Planet for that very feature. By the way, do you know about the Dark Planet?”

Cheng Xu softly replied, “The Dark Planet is number seventy.”

“Right, right, you really are well-read! I didn’t know until I met Markus. Oh, by the way, Markus is who you’ll be working with today. He has very dark skin, is muscular, and lasts a long time in bed—his record is two hours and thirteen minutes. But he’s very gentle, so you don’t have to worry.” The young tone in her voice carried a naivety.

“Thank you for letting me know,” Cheng Xu, whose knees were starting to hurt from kneeling, couldn’t help but ask, “Are we done?”

“Almost there.”

Cheng Xu continued to endure as the “New Female” chattered endlessly about company gossip and the loves and hates of porn actors, then suddenly asked, “By the way, have you met our boss?”

“Do you mean the one I signed the contract with?” Cheng Xu asked.

“Oh, not him, he’s just our manager. There’s a real boss above him.” Her excitement was palpable, “I saw him once, he’s really handsome! And super young, and a noble too!”

Cheng Xu wasn’t particularly interested, but his good upbringing stopped him from cutting her off. Just as she was about to reveal more, the door opened, and the manager hurried in, saying, “Are you done? Everything else is ready, just waiting on you.”

“Done, done, all done now!” the “New Female” hurriedly replied.

Finally allowed to head to the studio, Cheng Xu didn’t know whether to feel relieved or more anxious. Upon entering the studio and seeing all the staff and equipment, his reaction was still one of nervousness.

His co-star was indeed a black man from the Dark Planet, which is the homeland of the black race, but Markus was particularly robust. Cheng Xu noticed that Markus’s arms were nearly twice as thick as his own. Despite Cheng Xu not being short, standing next to him still gave off a vibe of a delicate bird relying on a strong tree.

Markus wore little, just a towel wrapped around his waist, his well-defined muscles on display, especially his pectorals and abs, which were somewhat intimidating. And it was evident that his lower body was indeed thick, as even the towel couldn’t hide the protruding shape.

Cheng Xu glanced and quickly looked away, maintaining his composure as he approached the director and asked, “What should I do?”

“No need for a script, just direct shooting. Are you nervous? If so, you can talk with Markus for ten minutes to get comfortable,” the director suggested.

Cheng Xu pressed his lips together, “I need ten minutes to adjust, thank you.”

But during those ten minutes, he couldn’t leave; he still had to face all the people and equipment around him. In the large shooting area, besides a very soft-looking bed, there were no other props. Cheng Xu moved to a corner and noticed Markus approaching. He had to say, “I’d like a moment to myself, thank you.”

Markus, apparently as gentle as his appearance suggested, didn’t get upset or anything, just replied, “Okay, but don’t worry, I’ll be as gentle as possible.”

Cheng Xu forced a smile, not truly reassured.

Once the ten minutes were up, the lights and camera were all set, and the cameraman was ready. Cheng Xu, not one to cause trouble, approached Markus as he was about to sit on the bed. He heard someone say to the manager, “The boss is here,” and the manager rushed out.

The shoot didn’t pause; Cheng Xu was already lying on the bed, his loose bathrobe slightly open, revealing his pale skin and bare legs.

The camera zoomed in, and Markus climbed up, his movements gentle. He lightly touched Cheng Xu’s face before asking, “May I kiss you?”

Cheng Xu noticed the erection hidden under the towel, prominently outlined. He hadn’t anticipated having such an effect, or perhaps it was just Markus being professional, but either way, it made no difference to him.

He gave up struggling, murmured a soft “Mm,” then slowly closed his eyes.

The room was quiet, but he was aware of the many people around him, watching as he was about to have sex with a man he had just met, the video to be sold worldwide for acquaintances and strangers alike to enjoy, mock, or deride…

As the other’s breath neared, just about to touch his lips, a sudden loud noise erupted in the studio, followed by a frantic voice, “Stop! Everybody fucking stop!”

Cheng Xu abruptly opened his eyes, turned his head, and saw an enraged man storming in, like an irate young leopard.

It was Yan Qi, the only man who had ever harbored inappropriate thoughts towards him.
