- 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!

Editor: Jodi
When Father and Mother Shen saw their eldest son suddenly freeze, they thought Shen Ci’s condition had worsened in some way and hurried in to check.
And then, Father Shen adopted the same twisted expression, the same stiff posture, and the same anxious desire to roar as Shen Bie.
Xiao Ci had always been sticky with Lu Xiao, but this was definitely not a sufficient explanation for the way the two of them were cuddling so close together!
And it looked like…. Xiao Ci had been the one who had made the advance?!
Both father and son felt as if they had been struck by lightning, feeling that their baby wasn’t pursuing Shao Jinhuan but had now started to pursue the hell level difficult mode Lu Xiao?
Mother Shen reacted quickly, and pretending as if she hadn’t seen anything, walked to the bed and asked Shen Ci in a warm and concerned voice, “Xiao Ci, do you feel any better?”
Sniffling, Shen Ci nodded.
He let go of Lu Xiao’s neck and scratched his head in a somewhat bewildered manner, and it took a while before he was able to muster a careful and tentative “Mom”.
Shen Ci wasn’t really a member of the Shen family, a fact that was known to both him and the Shen family.
Previously, it was possible to deceive themselves, but the morning’s press conference had shattered all illusions, and Shen Ci didn’t know how to face his once ‘parents’ and so could only try to maintain his old habits for the time being.
Mother Shen’s eyes glistened with tears and smiling, she lowered her head and hugged Shen Ci, tears sliding down, “Xiao Ci, don’t ever change the way you call us, okay?”
Shen Ci’s nose started to become sour again, so he quickly lifted his head and it became a little better: “En.”
He knew that regardless of blood ties, he had been accepted fully by the Shen family.
Since Father and Mother Shen were unwilling to accept Bai Ziwei, he didn’t need to make himself suffer by insisting that his parents recognize Bai Ziwei back into the Shen family. It was just… Bai Ziwei wouldn’t stir up any more trouble again, right?
Father Shen also came over and repeated what he had said at the morning’s press conference again gently and euphemistically, the family looking especially warm and affectionate.
It was only Shen Bie who hadn’t recovered from the earlier shock. He rubbed his forehead, “…. You all talk, I need some quiet.”
However before leaving, he cast a glance at Lu Xiao, a little bit of resentfulness in his eyes, but he quickly turned his eyes away, giving the feeling of daring to get angry but not daring to say a word.
After all, that was Lu Xiao… How could he dare glare at him the way he glared at Shao Jinhuan?
Why did Xiao Ci suddenly take a liking to Lu Xiao?
If Shen Ci had been adamant on Shao Jinhuan, then at least he could give him a couple of beatings to make him treat Shen Ci right. But with Lu Xiao… Forget about daring to do anything, he would even feel lucky if he wasn’t flattened first.
His head started to ache even more as he thought with a worried expression about his family’s little fool being abducted by the big devil king.
After a few days in the hospital, Shen Ci came bouncing back to life and sitting on the bed, called his close friends one by one to update them.
And Wei Shuo, seeing that it had started to rain outside the window got up to close it then quietly sat down to peel an apple, cutting it into small pieces and giving them to Shen Ci with a toothpick.
Shen Ci opened his mouth to bite, chewing while continuing to chat on the phone: “Tomorrow, right? Okay, okay, I’ll be there on time.”
“Alright, Brother Zhang, you be busy, I’ll hang up first. See you tomorrow.”
Wei Shuo, seeing that he had finally ended the call opened his mouth hurriedly: “Ah, don’t make any more calls for now, I’m almost bored to death just listening to you.”
Shen Ci laughed: “Aren’t I done now?”
“What are you doing tomorrow, rushing off to another appointment so soon?” Wei Shuo asked him.
Shen Ci nodded, his face full of anticipation: “Yes, there’s been a lot going on lately, but now I can finally open for business. Brother Zhang got me a public service advertisement with XXTV, I’m going to film it tomorrow. I heard that there will be a lot of big shots there!”
Knowing how dedicated Shen Ci was to his career, Wei Shuo was happy to hear this news.
Securing a spot for a newcomer in an XXTV public service advertisement showed the significant investment that the Lu Group Entertainment Company had made, and with Lu Xiao’s support, Wei Shuo was quite confident about Shen Ci’s prospects in the entertainment industry.
“Ah, but I have to visit my family’s company today.” Shen Ci wilted a little when he mentioned this.
Originally, because of Bai Ziwei, Shen Ci didn’t want to have anything to do with the Shen family’s property, however the attitude of Father and Mother Shen, although gentle, was firm: the property had to be inherited jointly by Shen Bie and Shen Ci, with no third party involved.
Therefore it had been arranged for him to make an appearance at the company, at least to show his face in front of the Group’s employees.
As for Bai Ziwei… Shen Ci didn’t know his current situation and didn’t want to think about it in detail.
Bai Ziwei had almost killed him, and he really didn’t want to be hurt again and be forced to swallow his pain. Why should he?
Even if he had the protagonist’s halo, it wasn’t right to bully people like this when he clearly hadn’t done anything.
Whatever! He decided to leave it to fate.
Wei Shuo agreed with the Shen family’s decision: “That’s good, otherwise people will always talk behind your back.”
“It’s raining outside, so let’s not trouble big brother to come all the way here. I came by car, should I take you?”
Shen Ci felt that he made sense, and so after saying goodbye to Shen Bie and the hospital, he let Wei Shuo drive him to the building of the Shen Group Consortium.
