Wen Shuang woke up to find himself transmigrated into a pure love novel as cannon fodder, a two-faced, materialistic, and vain character who extensively casts nets and ruthlessly reels in fish.
...Chapter 65: Just drink some medicine!
When Wen Shuang met Zhang Zixuan's eyes, her heart sank to the bottom. Needless to say, Xuan Zhe must be watching the live broadcast.
Wen Shuang smiled politely at the camera, and soon it was the second group's turn.
In addition to the girl who played the guqin last time, Wen Shuang also admired a newcomer very much. The other party had an amazing voice and sounded good in any song. However, this newcomer was not among the pre-selected candidates, and it even looked like he didn't know that he was going to be eliminated. He sang with deep emotion and devotion. Fortunately, he ranked third in terms of the number of fans, so he would probably have a good development even if he left the show.
Wen Shuang changed his posture and frowned slightly. He suddenly felt a little annoyed.
But who can guarantee good development?
After all the performances were over, it was time for the voting session. The audience outside the venue had already finished voting. Zhang Zixuan was firmly in first place, and the new singer was in third place, which was almost the same as Wen Shuang's expectations. However, two of the pre-selected candidates were simply unbearable to look at, one was second to last and the other was fourth to last. Wen Shuang felt that the program crew was very bold, and they dared to support someone with such little ability.
The audience probably didn't expect that two of the judges would give their votes to a contestant who was obviously inferior. As soon as the result was announced, there was a burst of booing, and some fans in the audience couldn't help but stand up, with anger in their eyes.
[No way… Rising stars are also doing this]
[Fuck! They're treating us like fools. Even Wang Shengsheng's performance, which was so embarrassing it made me dig my toes into the ground, got excellent reviews. It's over. Another insider.]
[Hey, Wang Shengsheng's dad is one of the investors of the show. Some sisters mentioned that there might be inside information before. Who knew it was true? What's the point of reading this?]
[If Zhang Zixuan hadn't held me back, I would have run away long ago. What a rubbish show!]
Wang Shengsheng is the second to last one, and at this moment he is bowing deeply to the judge who voted for him. The other two judges voted for elimination, and the new singer will compete with Wang Shengsheng. The final decision lies with Wen Shuang. It has to be said that the program team is really calculating. The blame will eventually fall on Wen Shuang, and it can also earn some popularity.
Seeing the two-on-two situation, Wen Shuang snorted in his heart. No one said before coming that he would have the final say. The seniors were careful about their reputation, so why doesn't he need to? Or does he think that traffic stars can just be paid? Since that's the case, no one should be happy.
Wen Shuang plans to poke the sky for fun.
New singer Li Nan held the microphone and smiled gently, with a sense of relief and peace. He was not a fool and had already seen the situation clearly.
Unexpectedly, Wen Shuang said something shocking. He took the microphone and whispered, "I vote for Li Nan."
Wang Shengsheng's smile suddenly stopped, and Li Nan's eyes suddenly widened.
All four judges looked at her in shock. What was Wen Shuang doing?
"Wang Shengsheng, right?" Wen Shuang said gently. "As for your skit, my opinion is that you need more practice. Your facial expressions are too exaggerated, and your body movements are uncoordinated. Li Nan, your singing made me believe for the first time that the soul can be cleansed. You're great. That's all I have to say."
Wen Shuang leaned back, looking like she was saying, "If you have the guts, you can crush me to death."
[Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit! Wen Shuang has turned against us!]
What do you mean by "Wen Shuang betrayed us"? Don't you know the nature of the production team? They probably said they had a pre-selected appointment but didn't mention that the hammer would be in his hand. Wen Shuang clearly smashed the table with the hammer, and everyone's game over.
[What a unique idol I am following...]
【Mother Frost loves you!!!】
Because it was a live broadcast, words spoken could not be taken back, so several directors had to let Li Nan advance even though their facial expressions were almost distorted backstage.
Wen Shuang successfully disrupted this one, and the remaining one was voted for advancement by the three judges, and he couldn't stop it.
Wen Shuang didn't regret doing this, she just felt bored. If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have come and would have focused on filming in the future.
What he didn't know was that because of this operation, the popularity of the program team skyrocketed, and it was on several trending searches. Some people thought Wen Shuang was the one who was showing off, but everyone was more happy!
[I’m a fan, I like this little brother!]
The production team specifically called Zhu Lian about this matter, but after hearing the whole story, Zhu Lian just smiled lightly and said, "Given the popularity of your show, even Wang Shengsheng's biological father could easily withdraw his investment. If you're really worried, please ask your top executive if Wen Shuang is okay with this. I'm hanging up now because I have something else to do."
The director was completely bewildered. Then the top boss called personally, saying that this was it. With Wen Shuang happy, Wang Shengsheng's father's investment was nothing!
Xuanzhe chuckled when he saw this, "Don't mention it, it's quite unique."
If Wen Shuang didn't have you as her backer, she would have fled long ago! Cao Nanyu roared in his heart, thinking that President Xuan was too biased and a typical example of a lover's eyes seeing beauty in everything.
After the recording was over, Wen Shuang simply tidied up backstage. Yang Lian must have heard some rumors, as he didn't ask a single question or say a single word.
Wen Shuang touched her cheek and said, "The effect of the medicine seems to have worn off."
Yang Lian handed him the coat he was carrying: "The weather has changed recently, so dress warmly."
Wen Shuang smiled awkwardly. It had nothing to do with the weather. It was that night when Xuanzhe pressed him in the bathroom.
When I came out of the changing room, there was a man standing at the door. It was Zhang Zixuan.
"Teacher Wen Shuang!" Zhang Zixuan's eyes lit up, and he seemed to want to say something, but when he saw Yang Lian beside him, he held back.
Yang Lian was a man of discerning eyes. He nodded slightly at Zhang Zixuan and said softly, "You guys chat, I'll go drive."
As soon as Yang Lian left, Zhang Zixuan looked worried: "Teacher Wen Shuang, if you do that today, Wang Shengsheng and his father will never let it go."
It seems that Zhang Zixuan also knows about the appointment. Wen Shuang doesn't care: "It's okay, they can't do anything to me."
"In any case, please be careful." Zhang Zixuan continued, "If there is really a problem that cannot be solved, I mean if, just call me."
Wen Shuang was startled by this strong kindness, then nodded: "Okay."
"That kid likes you." Wen Shuang heard Yang Lian say this as soon as she got in the car.
"Don't say that in front of Xuanzhe." Wen Shuang smiled. "I'm young, so I sometimes admire someone who pokes me in the face. I'll be fine when I'm older."
Yang Lian thought to himself that it didn't look like it, but didn't say it out loud.
Xuanzhe was waiting for someone at the company. Not long after he took Wen Shuang home, she started to have a fever. The family doctor came to check on her and was about to cautiously ask if it was anything related to that when the head of the person who was originally sleeping soundly in the bed suddenly popped out, followed by a pale arm. Xuanzhe quickly grabbed it, and Wen Shuang lay down on his legs, mumbling, "Don't go to the bathroom next time...you're bothering me."
Doctor: “…” Solid evidence!
"Is it because of this?" Xuanzhe asked calmly without changing his expression.
"That's probably it." The doctor said tactfully, "This kind of thing happens in the bathroom, and it has a lot to do with a person's physical constitution. Maybe you didn't pay attention and caught a cold."
Xuanzhe suddenly felt annoyed. He had been too busy that night. The hot water had turned into warm water, and he didn't turn on the heater when he got up with the young man in his arms.
Xuanzhe unlocked Wen Shuang's phone and called Yang Lian, asking him to postpone his upcoming trip, as Wen Shuang's return date was uncertain. Yang Lian naturally had no objection and was happy to have some free time.
Wen Shuang has been very tired recently as the filming and recording have been non-stop, but he never complains. Xuan Zhe couldn't help but measure him by his own standards, forgetting that the quail is a fragile thing and will get into trouble if it is tossed around.
"I'll be more patient next time." Xuanzhe leaned over and kissed Wen Shuang on the cheek. "Get well soon."
Wen Shuang was half asleep, but he heard this sentence clearly. He digested it for a few seconds and laughed hoarsely, "Don't hold back, I like you to tease me..."
Xuanzhe: “…” Look, you’re teasing him day by day.
Worried about Wen Shuang being alone at home, they could only turn Cao Nanyu into a spinning top. Everyone in the company found that Assistant Cao was becoming more and more like President Xuan. In the past, he would just roar a few times, which was still within the range of a normal person. But now, when he encounters someone who does something wrong or wastes time, he stares at the other person with cold eyes, and then says all kinds of hurtful words in a slow and steady voice with a half-smile, trying to make the other person remember it in their next life and never dare to make the same mistake again.
Assistant Cao always sheds tears in the dead of night. Is it easy for him?
Wen Shuang woke up once in the middle of the night and lay down in Xuan Zhe's arms. The man bent his knees, placed a computer on them, and was gently sliding his fingertips.
Wen Shuang glanced at it curiously. Perhaps because she had slept for too long, it took her a long time to focus. It seemed to be an introduction to a tourist attraction. She felt dizzy after reading it. Wen Shuang nudged Xuan Zhe's arms and asked, "Are you going out?"
"Jiang Suqing invested in it. It will open in a month. He invited us to come over and spend a couple of days." Xuanzhe gently stroked the top of Wen Shuang's head: "Do you feel better?"
"Hot..." Wen Shuang murmured, but as soon as she moved, she was held down by Xuan Zhe.
"No, I'm sweating."
Wen Shuang wanted to say yes, but when she moved her lips no words came out. It was as if a wind was whistling through her head, blowing it away in an instant.
Wen Shuang finally woke up on the morning of the third day. As soon as she opened her eyes, she thought of the incident at the manor and ran to Xuan Zhe to confirm it.
Xuanzhe liked to see him in high spirits and agreed immediately.
Jiang Suqing had been enjoying himself there for several days. He invited some acquaintances and formed gangs to come down. It was around 10:00 a.m. when Xuanzhe and the others arrived. It was afternoon and the autumn heat was at its last hurdle, which could melt people.
The manor is backed by endless green hills, with grassland stretching forward from under its feet, passing through tall buildings and connecting to the horizon. The sun shines on the land without exception, and it is so beautiful that you can take a picture with just one click.
In order to look classy, Jiang Suqing came here on horseback. He was tall and looked really handsome in his knight's uniform. The tall black horse was fat and strong, and it panted and shook its tail.
Jiang Suqing stroked the horse's mane and boasted to Xuanzhe, "How's it? Not bad, right?"
"Not bad." Xuanzhe was very considerate and planned to take Wen Shuang to her room to tidy up first.
A pool table was moved into the originally spacious hall, and a group of people were either playing pool or sitting around drinking and chatting. The cicadas outside the window chirped weakly, and it seemed like two different worlds compared to the cool and comfortable atmosphere here.
Yu Feng and the others were all there, but Wen Shuang turned her gaze and was slightly stunned.
Why are Zheng Yuanfei and Lu Li here too?
Jiang Suqing seemed to have noticed something. After sending the two to the door of the upstairs room, he said, "Zheng Yuanfei's uncle has a partnership with my family. Xuanzhe, you know that his uncle has no children, so he treats Zheng Yuanfei as his own son. This manor is also invested by his uncle, so he can't avoid it."
Wen Shuang then remembered that there was such a description in the original novel. As the protagonist of the novel, he naturally had smooth sailing and all the good things that fell from the sky could fall on his head. Zheng Yuanfei's uncle's business grew bigger and bigger, but he died of illness before he was fifty years old and left all his property to him. Zheng Yuanfei became a billionaire with tears in his eyes and won many awards in the entertainment industry. He might feel like a lonely and invincible man. Anyway, he gave up the entertainment industry and turned to the business world overnight. Naturally, he was a "genius" and led Lu Li to live a "fairy tale" life.
Wen Shuang felt a pang of jealousy just thinking about it. When she saw it, she felt that the golden finger was not opened too wide.
"Yeah." Xuanzhe replied calmly, motioning Jiang Suqing to go and get busy. He took Wen Shuang into the bedroom, closed the door, and then asked, "You seem to mind Lu Li a lot."
Because I'm the cannon fodder in the book, the catalyst between the main character and the main character!
Of course, Wen Shuang didn't care about this the most. He gently hugged Xuan Zhe's waist and looked up at him: "Try not to talk to Lu Li."
Xuanzhe is the infatuated male second in the book. It is Wen Shuang's speculation that he is not bound by the rules. In fact, it is still quite scary. What if Xuanzhe is controlled by some power? What will he do?
Sensing Wen Shuang's uneasiness, Xuan Zhe gave up his verbal promise. He knew that the young man had many secrets. As he said before, he was willing to wait until Wen Shuang was willing to confess, and he was also willing to prove to him that he had no interest in Lu Li at all.
When the two came down from upstairs, they had already changed into more casual clothes.
"Come on!" Jiang Suqing invited them to play together and took out a bottle of champagne from an iron bucket full of ice cubes.
"Wenshuang doesn't drink." Xuanzhe said in a deep voice, "Is there any juice or something?"
Jiang Suqing knew that Wen Shuang had just recovered from her illness, and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, yes."
"Where is Jiang Ning?" Wen Shuang asked.
"It's too full." Jiang Suqing looked unhappy, but soon smiled again: "But once I tell him you're coming, he will definitely do everything he can to come."
Wen Shuang didn't know how to play billiards, so she sat on the spacious and comfortable sofa with juice in her arms, watching Xuan Zhe take off his coat and play two games with Jiang Suqing.
Xuan Zhe has a great body, the kind that even if he's wrapped in a shirt, his muscle lines can be revealed with the slightest movement. When he bends over to play basketball, the mermaid line on his waist is faintly visible. Wen Shuang stares at him intently.
That saying is so true, beauty can destroy a person's will.
"Hehehe!" Jiang Suqing couldn't help but snap his fingers in front of Wen Shuang, "The table is here, not on Xuanzhe's waist."
Many people laughed, Wen Shuang's cheeks felt hot, and the next second Jiang Suqing's knee was hit lightly by Xuan Zhe.
"You're really nosy." Xuanzhe was annoyed. Jiang Suqing thought why he played so low, wasn't it so that his quail could see more clearly?
Xuan Zhe didn't seem to have said much to Wen Shuang from the time they came down until now, but everyone could clearly feel the occasional glances between the two, and the sense of one chasing the other indulging.
Lu Li looked at Xuan Zhe with a clean expression.
Jiang Suqing made a mistake, causing Xuanzhe to sweep away all the remaining balls.
"I knew it." Jiang Suqing sighed, looking distressed. "Didn't you stop playing this after graduating from college? How come I still can't beat you?"
Xuanzhe said calmly: "You are too bad."
Jiang Suqing held out the club and said, "Which other warrior is there?"
Everyone looked at each other, some shook their heads. Jiang Suqing was considered the top billiard player in this circle, and he couldn't beat President Xuan. Who else could beat him?
Zheng Yuanfei suddenly stood up.
It was like some male beast fighting for territory received the signal to fight.
Xuanzhe glanced at Zheng Yuanfei, put down the golf club without any emotion, then walked up to Wen Shuang and took out a neatly folded paper bag from his trouser pocket.
Wen Shuang was shocked: "When did you take it?"
Wen Shuang is good in every way except that he doesn't like taking medicine. He thought he could escape this disaster by changing his clothes, but it turned out that President Xuan's defense had no blind spots.
Xuanzhe opened the paper package, revealing a pile of colorful pills. He said without any negotiation, "Drink it."
There was warm water on the table, and a packet of medicine cream was divided into five doses. It was not that he was being pretentious, but it was too easy for it to get stuck in the throat, especially the capsules.
"Open your mouth and let me see." Xuanzhe whispered, and after seeing Wen Shuang swallowed it all, he smiled and rubbed the young man's head: "It didn't get stuck this time, did it?"
"No." Wen Shuang smacked her lips. She was becoming more and more experienced in this kind of thing.
Jiang Suqing: "..." Hey, hey, hey, that's enough, it's just a drink of medicine!
Everyone: “…” They were choked.
Zheng Yuanfei had already picked up the golf club. Knowing that Xuanzhe was going to play against him, Wen Shuang was worried that the man would be affected by the protagonist's golden finger. She desperately cheered for her boyfriend. He quickly leaned close to Xuanzhe's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Come on, husband!"
Xuanzhe's eyes suddenly darkened, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and he stared down at Wen Shuang for a few seconds, as if suppressing some emotion, and then asked: "Do you call me like this at night?"
As long as Xuanzhe could win, Wen Shuang would agree to anything. He nodded hurriedly without delving into the seriousness of the matter, "Yeah, no problem!"
President Xuan stood up and walked towards the pool table.
He even called him "husband" and maxed out his buffs. Xuan Zhe had never been so serious since he started playing billiards. Except for a failed snooker where Zheng Yuanfei scored two, he never gave the opponent any chance after that. With absolute suppression and strength, he made Zheng Yuanfei's face turn black.
"Fuck..." Jiang Suqing was dumbfounded. Was this revenge for his father's murder or the hatred for his wife being taken away?
Zheng was far from being completely defeated.
Zheng Yuanfei didn't know what kind of protagonist he was, but from childhood to adulthood, whatever he wanted always fell into his hands through various means and channels. His family was in business, but he said that after entering the entertainment industry, he became a young and powerful actor in just a few years. Generally speaking, he had never been dealt with like this, so he was naturally ashamed.
"It's okay." Lu Li held Zheng Yuanfei's hand and comforted him gently, "It's just a joke." After he said that, he subconsciously glanced at Xuan Zhe. He saw the man smiling and bumping heads with Wen Shuang. He was particularly intimate and gentle, completely different from his usual unattainable self.
How could it be Wen Shuang? Lu Li couldn't understand it at all. Even though Wen Shuang has become a hot traffic now, even though Wen Shuang is completely different from her original self, Lu Li looks gentle on the surface, but in fact he still forces himself to put the two of them into the same category. He is afraid when he thinks of what Wen Shuang has done to him before, but subconsciously he is fearless because of Zheng Yuanfei's unprincipled protection.
These two people are indeed a perfect match. Like Zheng Yuanfei, Lu Li also has a sense of superiority that he has never expressed to outsiders. That is, all men who have come into contact with him will have a good impression of him without exception.
But this doesn't seem to include Xuanzhe.
In Lu Li's opinion, even if it wasn't him, Xuan Zhe should like a lady from a prominent family, or a quiet and lovely girl from a small family, but not Wen Shuang.
Lu Li once thought "viciously" late at night that Wen Shuang should disappear from everyone's sight and not disturb anyone's life.
The rules of this world will affect people's thoughts, making them revolve around the protagonist completely, not noticing any abnormalities and taking it for granted.
After playing billiards for an entire afternoon, Xuanzhe was sweating all over. He went upstairs to take a shower while Wen Shuang was playing hopscotch with Jiang Suqing downstairs.
Wen Shuang is proficient in Go, and she can draw inferences from this. Anyway, the couple tortured Jiang Suqing so much that he lost his temper.
Yu Feng sat next to Lei Wenxu. They were just watching from the sidelines, but in fact they had similar thoughts in their minds: Xuanzhe was so serious about Wen Shuang that he couldn't be more serious.
"Are you relieved now?" Lei Wenxu asked in a low voice.
Yu Feng was stunned for a moment, then said impatiently: "I've said it so many times, I don't care what happens to him."
"You're just being tough." Lei Wenxu commented lightly, and then added, "Why aren't you this tough in bed?"
Yu Feng: “…”
Zhong Ming was there too, holding his wine glass in a daze, when Zheng Yuanfei suddenly walked towards him.
Zheng Yuanfei placed a familiar pendant on the table next to Zhong Ming. His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and anyone who paid attention could hear it. "Thank you for your kindness, but I will take care of everything for Lu Li. Take it back."
Wow! There's more!
Wen Shuang frowned slightly. Looking at Lu Li's shy face, he felt a surge of anger in his heart. In the original novel, there were countless examples of Lu Li deliberately making Zheng Yuanfei jealous in order to provoke him.
Wen Shuang made it very clear that day, that it was "as a fan", and Lu Li did not hide it. It was understandable that Zheng Yuanfei was angry after knowing it, but why did he have to do it in front of so many people? At this moment, Zheng Yuanfei's smug face seemed to Wen Shuang to be asking for a beating.
Normally, Zhong Ming would tolerate Zheng Yuanfei's trouble because of Lu Li, but today was different. Zhong Ming seemed to have woken up from some absurdity. He stared at the arrogant Zheng Yuanfei for a few seconds, then looked at the pendant on the table. Suddenly, without warning, he brushed it off and said in a calm tone, "Don't worry, there won't be a next time. I usually don't take back what I give away. Please take it back."
Damn, Brother Dog has risen! Wen Shuang was shocked.
Seeing this, Lu Li stood up with a look of self-blame on his face.
The edge of the pendant was polished and rounded, and it rolled to Wen Shuang's feet, shining brightly.
Wen Shuang leaned over to pick it up, looked at it through the sunlight, and said to Zhong Ming, who had a grim look on his face: "Brother, if you don't want it, give it to me. It looks good."
Zhong Ming was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Wen Shuang meant. His heart warmed, and he smiled and said, "If you like it, I can make a new one for you."
"I'm dead." Xuanzhe came down from upstairs, his hair still covered with moisture, and said in a bad tone, "If Wen Shuang likes me, I will give it to her."
Zhong Ming: “…”
