- 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 42.1 End of filming
Editor: Jodi
Lu Xiao seemed to have just arrived, his car still parked nearby, as he walked towards the temporary dressing room with his usual steady steps.
He immediately saw Shen Ci who was wearing a pink lolita dress and raised his eyebrows, his eyes filled with amusement.
Shen Ci froze in place.
“….” He took a few steps back, closed the door of the dressing room, then opened it again—Lu Xiao was still there, and even closer to him now.
No way right? Why was Lu Xiao here?
Could it be that he was a supervisor? But this drama didn’t have investment from Yunxiao!
Could it be for a set visit? But it was clearly Lu Xiao’s working hours now.
“Ah? It’s actually President Lu…. Is he also a newly added supporting role?” Yang Ning followed out, surprised.
The corners of Shen Ci’s mouth twitched: “Impossible.”
He had never heard that Lu Xiao had an interest in this area, what’s more abandoning work to do something boring wasn’t his style.
The director went over with a cup of hot tea: “President Lu, you’re here! We’ve customized several roles for you, so feel free to choose!”
“Do you want to play the principal or the head teacher? Or perhaps the top student with excellent character and learning? It’s all fine!”
Shen Ci was so shocked that his jaw dropped: “???”
The director did mention that there would be some familiar faces making guest appearances, like Wei Shuo, but…… he didn’t say that Lu Xiao, who had nothing to do with acting, would also come!
Lu Xiao continued to look at Shen Ci gently as he said casually: “Whatever.”
The director: “…”
His expression twisted a bit. His friends all knew that he particularly loathed the words “whatever” and “it’s fine!”
They were like a spark to the powder keg.
The director let out a breath, then said with some difficulty: “Um… wouldn’t you like to choose? I’m afraid it won’t meet your expectations.”
Lu Xiao: “It’s fine.”
The director: “…” It felt like a myocardial infarction.
Despite the embarrassment, since they were already dressed, then the show had to go on…..
Shen Ci followed Yang Ning and Wei Shuo to the playground as if escaping for his life, getting ready to film the sports meet parade, and most of the actors had already arrived.
Today’s scene was the school sports meet, with more extras than usual, most of whom were probably students from the school.
As Shen Ci approached, he glanced around and realised that not only their group, but the entire class of actors, were dressed in gender-swapped costumes. For example, Qin Yun was wearing a casual men’s suit.
And among all of them, Yang Ning was the tallest, standing at 185cm, yet he was squeezed into a sailor suit, almost causing Qin Yun and the other actors to burst into laughter.
The photographer walked over to film some behind-the-scenes footage, and Yang Ning simply let loose, posing with Wei Shuo.
“Old man, come and play!” Yang Ning shouted flirtatiously.
Wei Shuo nearly gagged, then howled for Yang Ning to stay away from him.
Despite the commotion, seeing Shen Ci standing aside, laughing hysterically off-camera, the two of them tacitly grabbed one arm each, then dragged Shen Ci, who suddenly panicked and tried to break free frantically over.
The camera’s focus was scrambled.
“Ah, stop filming! Stop filming!” Shen Ci bared his teeth and claws, trying to block the camera, but was easily lifted back by Yang Ning, causing him to feel utterly helpless.
It was over. He was really going to lose face this time…..
In accordance with the usual behavior of his sand sculpture fans….. he could already guess what kind of ridiculous hot search they would stir up.
The filming of the parade was extremely simple. They just shouted a few simple slogans, and it was enough. After finishing, Shen Ci was the first to rush out, unable to wait to change out of his costume.
“Hey, wait! Xiao Shen!” The director called out to Shen Ci through a megaphone.
Shen Ci suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
“I’ve added a scene for you temporarily, come to the office, and don’t take your skirt off!”
He couldn’t even take off his skirt…..
Shen Ci cried out mournfully: “Brother Zhang, doesn’t this count as them violating the contract?”
Brother Zhang was already struggling not to laugh, so naturally he didn’t say anything. Instead, he put his arm around Shen Ci’s shoulder and led him to the office.
Shen Ci went inside reluctantly and found that besides all the filming equipment, there was already someone sitting in the middle of the set.
“Xiao Shen is here. Come, come, this is Mr. Lu, who will be acting opposite you later.” The screenwriter waved several test papers at Shen Ci.
Then he handed a paper to Shen Ci: “Just ask a question, say whatever you want!”
Shen Ci took it: “….” This was too casual!
He looked over at Lu Xiao who was sitting in the teacher’s position, his appearance just slightly tidied up. His black shirt was buttoned up to the top, and with his golden-rimmed glasses, he gave out an elegant temperament with his every move.
The restrained style was to arouse more desire, and coupled with a hint of a faintly cold smile at the corner of his mouth, Lu Xiao emitted a scent of refined debauchery.
He was clearly playing his true self.
Lu Xiao smiled at Shen Ci: “Are you ready?”
“Little uncle…..” Shen Ci called softly: “What are you here for exactly?”
Lu Xiao tousled his hair: “To be your homeroom teacher and discipline you well.”
Shen Ci: “?”
The director, who knows when, had also followed along and was sitting next to the monitor outside. He shouted through the megaphone: “Xiao Shen, stand outside the office! Yes, right there.”
“Ready—action!”
Shen Ci, holding the test paper, walked in as he tried to control his nervousness, his steps somewhat askew.
“Teacher, I don’t know how to do this question!”
He pressed the test paper onto the desk then pointed, with a commanding posture.
His character in the drama was a little tyrant, so naturally he needed to be a bit of a jerk.
Lu Xiao’s pen stopped, then his gaze followed Shen Ci’s finger up to his eyes.
“And so what?” Lu Xiao said leisurely.
Shen Ci frowned impatiently: “So teach me.”
Lu Xiao put his pen down and leaned back slightly in his chair, the smile at the corner of his lips deepening.
“You’re just asking a question, so why dress up as a girl?”
Shen Ci who was caught off guard by the question subconsciously tugged at his skirt, then embarrassed, went silent.
His legs pressed together uncomfortably. Having been reminded by Lu Xiao, Shen Ci felt empty down there again, as if he was really exposed.
If it was just facing the camera alone, Shen Ci would still be able to comfort himself that it was for the sake of acting and then let loose.
But in front of Lu Xiao….. Shen Ci inexplicably felt extremely embarrassed.
“Why’s your face red?”
Instead, Lu Xiao pinched his chin, forcing him to look up, and caught off guard by his deep, dark eyes, Shen Ci was momentarily stunned.
There were things hidden in those deep eyes that Shen Ci couldn’t understand, deep eyes that only reflected him.
Lu Xiao stared at him intently, murmuring softly with a smile: “Beautiful.”
If only he wore it just for him at home, it would be even more beautiful.
His voice was magnetic and hoarse, low enough for only the two of them to hear. Shen Ci’s heart skipped a beat, then he turned his gaze away uncomfortably.
The atmosphere is so strange, say something to break the silence…….
Shen Ci’s lips trembled nervously, however his mind went blank, and his several attempts to speak only ended up with him silent, his throat as if choked by something.
Lu Xiao, seeing his extreme nervousness, wiped Shen Ci’s moist lips with the pad of his thumb, then asked gently, “Why so scared?”
Shen Ci didn’t dare make a sound, his usual character as the domineering little brother of the female lead completely shattering into pieces.
Inside, he scolded. Who exactly had come up with this crappy idea?
To actually make him go against Lu Xiao, how could he dare?!
Lu Xiao suddenly turned his head and covered his mouth and nose, sneezing.
Shen Ci: “….”
However Lu Xiao didn’t seem to care much about this detail, as he motioned for Shen Ci to come closer.
Shen Ci approached the desk like a quail obediently.
“Do you seldom listen during class?”
Shen Ci felt ashamed for the character in the drama and nodded.
“This question is very simple.” Lu Xiao lowered his eyes, took the pen, and pointed to the question on Shen Ci’s paper: “Your teacher must have explained it many times.”
“Also….. you can’t even recognize your own teacher?” There was a smile in Lu Xiao’s voice.
Was this line just a joke, or was it meant for him to make up a story on the spot?
