- Chapter 17.1 Shock! Another big guy is a fanBai Ziwei was really angry. He was a fiery spirit who couldn't stand being patient, how could he bear this now?The company's double standards were way too obvious. Weren't they afraid of being scolded to death by their own fans?Veins throbbing at his temples, his fighting spirit rose, waiting for either Shen Ci or Zhou Xing to start explaining. Whatever they said, he had decided he would fight back viciously and spray them to death!Shen Ci: "Um, can we swap our acts?"Bai Ziwei: "... Huh?"Shen Ci handed him some paperwork: "I'm sure I won't be able to do this, it would be a waste if I had it. I happen to like your act too."He turned to Zhou Xing: "Zhou Ge, is that okay?"Zhou Xing shrugged nonchalantly: "No problem, we respect the artist's wishes haha."Bai Ziwei: "...."A knot of fury lodged in his throat, neither rising nor falling. Suddenly feeling deflated, Bai Ziwei nearly choked on his own frustration. He looked down at the act he was ready to fight Shen Ci for and having received it so easily, suddenly he felt it wasn't all that special.Shen Ci nervously watched as Bai Ziwei's face turned the color of a pig's liver, thinking that he should be safe from any protagonist aura related turbulence now.The feeling of surrender was quite satisfying, he thought. He had avoided conflict and got a simple act suitable for himself-- it was like killing two birds with one stone!Shen .big coward. Ci gave himself a big thumbs-up in his mind.Bai Ziwei snorted and with nothing to say, finally had no choice but to leave in annoyance.Zhou Xing patted Shen Ci on the shoulder, looking at him admiringly: "We'll make some changes to this act, don't worry, we won't let you be at a disadvantage."Bai Ziwei's original act indeed didn't offer much exposure and it lacked topics for hype. But it was a general plan given by the artists' department, so Zhou Xing was just following orders.Everyone would prefer an act with better exposure, ability to showcase talent and topic attractiveness. Bai Ziwei's anger wasn't unreasonable.Zhou Xing had been prepared for a big showdown, even getting ready to sit back and enjoy the drama. But he hadn't expected Shen Ci to give up so generously.In order to avoid tension between artists from the same company, he had made such a huge sacrifice. Zhou Xing immediately revised his impression of this rumored spoiled "little young master", his original impression raising a bit significantly.Rumors, sure enough, are just that-- unreliable groundless talk.Shen Ci, however was a bit frightened: "Then, please don't make it too difficult.... I really can't dance."Zhou Xing burst out laughing with a haha: "Alright, we'll customize it to your ability."***Holding the folder, Shen Ci's next task was to coordinate the filming of a music video. The MV was for a hot pop singer from the same company's new song. As it was a youthful love song, the company had chosen Shen Ci and another young girl to film it together.This time the coordination went quite smoothly. In the end, Shen Ci was forced to take a group picture with the girls from the responsible team-- no pictures, no materials.After the group pictures were over, seeing that the tragedy of being surrounded and harassed by the receptionist girls from the Lu Group was about to happen again, Shen Ci seized the opportunity to escape.With a numb expression, he set off on the road back to Zhang Ge's office. Seeing that there weren't many people on the road, he took out the filming plan for the MV he had just received and started to look through it.A youthful love story, ah...During the filming of "Don't Say Farewell" last time, his seniors had criticized him for his lack of sincerity in his emotions, saying that it would be better to fall in love before filming again.The question was, where could he find love? From childhood to adulthood, he had never had a crush on any girl. Later, he didn't know when, but he suddenly became very fond of Shao Jinhuan and what he thought was a crush that lasted for several years was forced to come to an end.The feeling of liking Shao Jinhuan.... Shen Ci discovered blankly that he could no longer remember what it was like.Closing his eyes again, Lu Xiao's gentle smile unexpectedly floated into Shen Ci's mind.Shocked, Shen Ci shook his head fiercely. Mom, his brain must be broken!"Thud!"Caught off guard, Shen Ci bumped into something and fell backward.He scrambled to his feet quickly to check on the other party: "I'm so sorry! I wasn't watching where I was going, are you okay?"The person who had collided with Shen Ci had also fallen backwards. Rubbing his head, he was frowning at Shen Ci when his eyes suddenly widened."Shen Ci?! My god!"The person was a tall and handsome young man. With a trendy outfit and an earring, he looked like a cool guy, yet at this moment, he shouted in a dramatic manner like a young girl.Shen Ci froze, looking at the young man with an expressionless face as his eyes twinkled.He recognized this person as the singer of the MV he was about to participate in, Yang Ning.The reason Shen Ci could remember him was because his name, was completely inconsistent with his image. The Ning in Yang Ning's name (杨柠) literally means lemon 🍋 , so I'm assuming his happy hyper sort of personality is at complete odds with the meaning of his name (Ning in this case) as lemon is sometimes attributed with the word sour.Looking somewhat excited, he grabbed Shen Ci's arm, "I've finally met you in the company! The almanac said today was a good day to go out and sure enough, it wasn't wrong!"Shen Ci suddenly had a bad premonition.Yang Ning shouted, "I am a hardcore fan of yours! Look, look, my level in your fan group on Weibo is pretty high, right? I check in every day!""When my agent asked me to choose the male lead for my new song, the first person that came to my mind was you!""You must be here to get the MV materials, right? It would be much better to hear it directly from me! Come, come..."With a confused look on his face, Shen Ci was helped up by the chattering Yang Ning who organized the materials and brought him into the nearby studio.It turned out that not only was his name a stark contrast to his image, but his personality was also quite different!

Chapter 4.1 Whenever he was with his big brother, Shen Ci became completely lazy.
Shen Ci thought for a long time, but he really couldn’t imagine what Lu Xiao, such a strong and calm man, would look like when he lost his rationality due to desire.
The aphrodisiac was so potent that it could make Shen Ci feel weak, yet little uncle managed to come to his rescue and even muster up the energy to help Shen Ci. Shen Ci really wanted to give Lu Xiao a “Best Little Uncle” award.
Lying in bed with all sorts of thoughts, sleepiness gradually took over and Shen Ci eventually drifted back to sleep.
His sleep was restless, as he dreamt of being relentlessly pursued by a giant brown bear, only to be snatched away by a tiger and thrown into its den. The tiger circled around Shen Ci, licking his face excitedly several times, scaring him to tears and leaving him unable to move.
The tiger dragged out a large iron pot, boiling water and adding firewood, and began to smash rocks against the pot’s edge with a “bang, bang, bang” sound.
Shen Ci grew even more frightened, huddling in a corner and crying loudly.
The “bang, bang, bang” sound grew louder, and finally, Shen Ci broke down and screamed. He sat up from the bed like a carp flipping in the air, only to realize belatedly that someone was pounding on the door.
He buried his face in the bedding, rubbed away his tears and shuffled to the entrance wearing his slippers. After peering through the peephole for a while, he finally let out a sigh of relief, opened the door and flung himself out.
“Big brother!”
The visitor stumbled as he was pounced on, but managed to steady Shen Ci, then roared, “Shen Ci, you little rascal! I’ve been knocking on the door for so long and you didn’t answer! And you still have the nerve to call me big brother!”
Shen Ci grinned, “I was sleeping! Big brother, come in quickly.”
“What time is it already? You’re so lazy it’s unbelievable.”
Everyone in the Shen family doted on their youngest, Shen Ci. Although his big brother, Shen Bie, had a fiery temper, Shen Ci knew that he had a heart of gold and treated him extremely well.
Shen Bie frowned and hoisted Shen Ci onto his shoulder in one swift motion.
He snorted, “You’re lighter again. You must not have been eating properly!”
Shen Ci pouted, “I lost weight because I’ve been working hard, you know. You should praise me.”
Shen Bie tossed Shen Ci onto the sofa bed and placed the two large bags he was carrying on the coffee table.
Shen Ci’s eyes lit up as he rummaged through the plastic bags, “You brought me more delicious food! Big brother, you’re too kind!”
“Wearing so little, are you trying to catch a cold?” Shen Bie glared at him before heading to the bedroom to fetch a fluffy coat for Shen Ci.
“It was really warm in the quilt just now.”
Shen Ci lounged on the sofa, munching on the potato chips he had just opened while enjoying his big brother’s motherly care.
When the two brothers had gone to study in the M country, Shen Bie had always looked after his younger brother. As a result, whenever he was with his big brother, Shen Ci became completely lazy.
As Shen Bie buttoned up the coat for him, he casually said, “If being an idol is too tiring, just come home, alright? You can just be a good-for-nothing.”
Shen Ci looked up at his big brother. After learning the truth and observing him closely, he realized that they didn’t really look alike.
Shen Bie, the legitimate heir of the Shen family and the future inheritor of the family business, resembled their mother more. Both his appearance and demeanor were elegant and noble.
After all, they were the ones with the real blood connection.
Compared to his big brother, Shen Ci knew he was just a nobody who never thought about fighting for the family fortune.
When they were in the M country, Shen Bie finished his master’s degree and Shen Ci completed his undergraduate studies, so they both returned home together.
As expected, Shen Bie joined the Shen Group’s headquarters to learn and grow, while Shao Jinhuan was already making a name for himself in the entertainment industry. Shen Ci used that as an excuse to enter the industry and become a vase idol.
He claimed to be chasing after Shao Jinhuan, but in reality, he was just bored and looking for something to do.
“Big brother, you’re so good-looking, you’d definitely do better in the entertainment industry than me!” Shen Ci flattered him.
Shen Bie smacked him on the head, “Don’t change the subject; I’m talking about something serious.”
Shen Ci had no choice but to admit, “Big brother, you know I’m not good at anything. I can only act cute on TV to earn some pocket money.”
Moreover, he wasn’t a real member of the Shen family, and his identity would eventually be replaced by Bai Ziwei.
He worked hard to build his entertainment career so that he wouldn’t starve when he was kicked out of the family.
“The money you make from filming for a month, I can earn back with just a small project.” Shen Bie said with a smile in his voice.
Shen Ci cried out in despair, “Big brother! Do you have to crush me like that?”
Shen Bie laughed heartily, ruffling his beloved little brother’s messy hair, “I just wanted to tell you that you don’t have to work so hard. If it comes to it, I can support you for the rest of your life, earning money for you to squander.”
Shen Ci froze and his nose suddenly felt a little sour.
The one who should have received Shen Bie’s promise should have been the real young master of the Shen family—Bai Ziwei.
Shen Ci forced a smile, “I don’t want to be a burden to you! Brother, I quite like being in the entertainment industry, so please let me fulfill this little wish.”
Shen Bie stared at him and suddenly asked, “Is it because of that brat Shao Jinhuan?”
Shen Ci was eating potato chips and almost choked upon hearing this. He quickly took a sip of water to calm himself down.
He had forgotten that when he eagerly followed Shao Jinhuan into the entertainment industry, the one who reacted most strongly was Shen Bie. Shen Bie was so angry that he went straight to Shao Jinhuan’s house to pick a fight with him. If it wasn’t for Shen Ci holding him back and begging him, Shen Bie might have beaten Shao Jinhuan into the hospital, and ended up in the emergency room himself.
After all, Shao Jinhuan didn’t need a stunt double for his fight scenes, and he had learned his combat skills from professional Muay Thai fighters.
Thinking back to the painful past, Shen Ci hurriedly hugged his big brother and tried to appease him, “How could that be? Brother, haven’t you noticed how much I’ve changed? I don’t like him anymore!”
Shen Bie clearly didn’t believe him, and he peeled Shen Ci off of him, looking him up and down suspiciously, “You have indeed changed a bit, but who knows if you’re not lying——”
“Buzz—buzz—”
The vibration of a cell phone interrupted Shen Bie’s questioning, and Shen Ci, feeling relieved, frantically searched through the pile of snacks on the table to find his phone.
“It’s my manager, Brother Zhang.” Shen Ci showed his big brother the phone screen.
Shen Ci slid to answer the call, “Hello, Brother Zhang, what’s up?”
“Xiao Ci, are you free right now? Come to the Affiliated Third Hospital.”
Shen Ci was stunned, “What? Affiliated Third Hospital?”
Brother Zhang seemed to sigh on the other end of the phone, “Bai Ziwei had a car accident and is still unconscious.”
