Vase cannon fodder is pampered by the group again

Chapter 75.2

Editor: Princess

In the quiet, dark room, only breathing sounds tainted with high temperature remained, and everything gradually calmed down.

Shen Ci was held in long arms against a broad chest, and his head was comfortably dizzy while he didn’t want to move a single finger.

He was so tired and sleepy, and he really wanted to sleep.

Since his Little Uncle would help him clean up anyway, the willful little friend closed his eyes with peace of mind, preparing to have a good dream.

“Baby, let me ask you a question.”

Lu Xiao’s kiss fell on the root of Shen Ci’s fair ear, still restraining his strength to avoid leaving marks on Shen Ci’s body that would affect his work.

Shen Ci had no strength left, and he opened his mouth softly while snuggling in Lu Xiao’s arms: “Mm…”

The big hand with thin calluses interlocked fingers with Shen Ci’s slowly, and Lu Xiao looked down to pick it up and kiss Shen Ci’s ring finger.

“Are you willing to go public with me?”

The low, hoarse voice sounded next to Shen Ci’s ear like a bell, causing Shen Ci to suddenly became somewhat more awake.

Go public? Why did Lu Xiao suddenly bring this up?

Was it because of the strange tags that others had given him on Instagram?

He raised his watery, hazy deer eyes, and their four eyes met with their gazes intertwining.

“After we go public, baby can’t regret it anymore.”

“No matter where you go, you’ll have to bear my mark.”

“If baby leaves me, I’ll catch you and bring you back, and lock you up forever…”

Lu Xiao kissed Shen Ci’s ear intermittently, each sentence becoming lighter and more hoarse, affectionately concealing his cruelty.

“Of course I’m willing, but as for the timing, I’ll have to discuss it with Brother Zhang and the others first…” Shen Ci forced his eyelids to stay open, and there was some confusion in his eyes: “But why would I leave?”

Lu Xiao froze, staring at the clear, transparent beautiful eyes of the person in his arms, and he couldn’t help but smile.

Little fool, his little fool.

His heart felt completely soft, and he lowered his head to kiss Shen Ci’s red lips, unable to control himself as he continued to deepen the kiss.

“Mm, I won’t leave either.”

Lu Xiao took a private jet early the next morning, and Shen Ci hugged the little dog to see him off at the airport. Brother Zhang teased him that he looked like a resentful wife left at home, specifically a resentful wife who was nursing a child.

Shen Ci became embarrassed and angry, so he “brutally beat up” Brother Zhang before storming back to the film set. He also happened to act out a scene where Wen Yu lost control and smashed a cup, and his angry expression and intense movements shocked the photographer.

The camera once again amazingly passed in one take, and Brother Zhang gave him a thumbs up while saying seriously: “Even I have to call myself an expert!”

Naturally, he was chased and beaten by the tooth-and-claw Shen Ci again.

For the next week’s scenes, they were all relatively routine campus scenes, and Shen Ci had to stay on set for five or six hours every day.

As long as he had seriously studied the script, acting wasn’t difficult.

However, during the time when he wasn’t on set, Shen Ci spent almost all of it communicating with the actors and sorting through the script. He pestered them to practice scenes with him, and he also communicated with the families of patients with bipolar disorder that Brother Zhang had previously contacted.

In order to get into character, Shen Ci had practically become obsessed with it.

After Lu An finished acting in today’s scenes and returned to the hotel, he went to check on Shen Ci’s suite and found him still frowning at his script as expected.

The previous Shen Ci had also worked hard, but he hadn’t reached this level of forgetting to eat and sleep. Lu An was a bit worried.

It seemed that starting from the second day of filming, Shen Ci had entered this state, and he didn’t know what had stimulated him.

He patted Shen Ci’s shoulder: “Are you possessed? Take a break.”

Shen Ci waved his hand perfunctorily: “No need, no need.”

However, his script was suddenly snatched away, and Lu An crossed his arms while looking at him coolly: “What’s really going on?”

Shen Ci grabbed at the air a few times but couldn’t reach it, so he had to give up and collapsed powerlessly on the sofa.

“I need to transform quickly. If I stop being an idol traffic star, then I can freely announce my relationship…” Shen Ci murmured.

A few days ago, Lu Xiao had suddenly proposed that he wanted to go public, and Shen Ci had agreed in a daze at the time. Only later when he thought about it carefully did he realize that this matter was very troublesome, considering that he was still an idol who depended on his fans for a living.

If going public meant unemployment, that would be very awkward.

Lu An: “Mr. Lu Xiao wants to go public?”

Shen Ci was startled: “How do you know that I’m with him…?”

Lu An raised an eyebrow: “I’m not blind. I ran into you two going out together that morning, and I could tell just from looking at your expressions.”

Shen Ci covered his face and sighed. Was it really that obvious?

Lu An: “You don’t need to be so anxious. Don’t underestimate yourself – the seniors all think very highly of you.”

Shen Ci scratched his head. How come he didn’t know about this?

Lu An ruffled Shen Ci’s hair: “They’re just afraid you’ll become arrogant and complacent. Come on, let’s go out for a walk and relax?”

Shen Ci immediately sprawled on the sofa like a pancake: “No, walking is so tiring.”

“Hmm… how about playing games? But Xiao An, you’re a top student – do you know how to play?”

Lu An nodded: “I basically know how.”

They decided to act immediately, and Shen Ci sat up like a carp jumping out of water, then pulled Lu An into their gaming group: “Everyone, let’s play together and have some fun.”

Coca-Cola Baked Sea Urchin: A newcomer is here! Everyone scatter flowers, scatter flowers!

Peaceful Journey: Hello everyone.

Wei Shuo: ?

Qin Yun: ??

Xia Qingqing: ???

Yang Ning: Ah this…

Coca-Cola Baked Sea Urchin: One punch, one monster! This is Lu An who’s partnering with me. Everyone quickly pay respects to our top student!

Wei Shuo: This WeChat name is almost the same as my dad’s. Scholar Lu is really mature enough, haha.

Xia Qingqing: Yeah, it scared me to death!

Coca-Cola Baked Sea Urchin: You guys still have the nerve to talk! Each of your game names looks like you’re participating in a beauty king election contest.

Coca-Cola Baked Sea Urchin: What “Handsome and Hard Tough Guy”, what “Lemon Soft Candy”… You all deserve a beating from your parents to force you to change your names!

Yang Ning: Idol, you don’t understand! If your name is cute, you can find strong big brothers to carry you and win easily!

The gaming group was immediately struck silent by this for ten seconds before being flooded with rainbow vomit emojis.

Wei Shuo: That disgusted me so much. Come on, let’s play games! I’ll start a livestream too.

Wei Shuo: This round is a “no sissy carries allowed” game. Let me show the newcomer how to fly first!

Yang Ning was ruthlessly kicked out of the team, and his resistance was ineffective. The five of them formed a team and started matchmaking.

Shen Ci bumped Lu An’s shoulder: “Hey, top student, just follow my commands later!”

Lu An looked like the type who rarely played games, but he seemed to know the basic operations, so Shen Ci simply took charge of directing their actions.

Since there were many people online at night, the five of them were quickly matched up, and Shen Ci rubbed his hands together, ready to show off.

Unfortunately, their opponents were very strong, and every time Shen Ci confronted an enemy head-on, he was killed in a few hits and went crying back to base.

Instead, it was Lu An who silently got first blood and calmly rushed into the enemy’s base. His positioning and techniques were extremely skilled and flashy.

A real top student could even crush others at gaming…

“Holy crap…” Shen Ci’s jaw dropped: “This is what you call ‘basically knowing how’?!”

Lu An still had time to respond without even looking up: “Mm, my skills are really average.”

Shen Ci’s mouth twitched: “Classmate Lu, do you know there’s a type of person called a ‘top student bitch’?”

The kind who said “I really don’t know” and “I’m doomed this time” with their mouths, then cried pitifully after exams, but their final scores still crushed the entire class as they created their own difficulties before turning things around themselves.

After one round ended, Lu An undoubtedly claimed first place in performance, while Shen Ci and Wei Shuo lay flat in the back row. Wei Shuo, who had said he would carry them, bravely claimed last place.

Wei Shuo: Damn! You’re a big shot but didn’t say so earlier? Big brother, take me flying next time!

Yang Ning: Get lost! Big brother should take me!

Xia Qingqing: Get lost! Big brother should take me!

…

Shen Ci numbly copied and sent the same message, while fighting spirit ignited in his heart as he urged everyone to start another round.

Lu An once again successfully became MVP, causing the entire gaming group to collectively acknowledge him as their father while crying and begging to be carried.

Shen Ci was getting addicted and was urging Lu An to start another round to show off when he suddenly heard urgent footsteps behind him.

He thought it was Brother Zhang, but heard an unfamiliar agitated voice: “Hey, Brother Lu, why are you playing games!”

It was Lu An’s assistant Yu Yang, and when Shen Ci turned to look, he seemed inexplicably angry.

Far from greeting him, Yu Yang didn’t even spare Shen Ci a glance, which made Shen Ci uncomfortable.

Seeing that Lu An wasn’t speaking, Yu Yang became even more anxious and chattered incessantly: “Director Min hasn’t been paying much attention to you lately and rarely has private conversations with you. You must take this matter seriously!”

“We don’t have the good fortune that others have, so we must grasp every opportunity well! Your urgent priority right now is to study the script carefully. It would be best if you could find problems and talk to Director Min alone to deepen his impression of you!”

“So stop doing time-wasting things like playing games. If you don’t have good parents, you can only fight for yourself. Brother Lu, I will definitely work hard with you! Don’t lose heart!”

Yu Yang reached out his hand, seemingly wanting to snatch Lu An’s phone. Both Lu An and Shen Ci couldn’t help but frown.

What……… on earth was this assistant doing?
