Chapter 2 Shang Que, bad!!!

#Shang Que also plays the sheng! #

When Ji Jingchuan saw this trending search, he'd been waiting for Shang Que to respond to his comment on Weibo for nearly half an hour. During those thirty long minutes, he'd mentally rehearsed eight hundred times how to respond without losing face, and yet Shang Que actually went off to read someone else's fanfiction?

This is simply too much! Lu Zhixu and Ning Sheng, why are they hyping up their CP for no reason?

No, Shang Que is also hateful.

Ji Jingchuan angrily threw his phone away, opened a drawer, and pulled out a photo frame. In the old, yellowed photo, two children, both young, flashed the same smile and gave the camera a "V" sign. He stared at it for two seconds, then raised his hand and flicked the girl's head. He raged like a machine gun, "Damn Shang Que, damn Shang Que, damn Shang Que, damn Shang Que!"

[Ding——Hello, host! ]

A voice suddenly rang out from the quiet room. Ji Jingchuan quickly stuffed the photo frame back in, closed the drawer, and turned his head impatiently: "I told you to knock before coming in—"

The door was closed, and there was no one else in the studio except him. Ji Jingchuan was stunned for a second, frowned and asked warily, "Who was talking just now?"

[Hello host! I am the villain counterattack system.]

Ji Jingchuan heard it clearly this time; the voice seemed to come from his mind.

Just give him a scare, it's good that it's not a human. The guilty look in his peach blossom eyes disappeared instantly, and he lazily slumped back into the recliner.

The system took advantage of the opportunity to say: [Host, this world is made up of a book, and you are the villain in the book——]

"TD."

The system was stunned: [Huh?]

"Cancel subscription, don't you understand?" Ji Jingchuan's tone was sincere, without any curiosity, and he asked in a purely yin-yang way: "The elderly system also has to come out to work?"

[…I understand. But why?] The system reiterated, [Host, I am the villain counterattack system that is here to help you change your tragic ending.]

"Who is the villain?" Ji Jingchuan was dissatisfied. "How could a genius like me be a villain?"

[Host, the villain is relative to the male and female protagonists, but in my opinion, you are the protagonist, the big protagonist! ]

Ji Jingchuan was barely coaxed by its flattering tone.

Seeing this, the system quickly continued: [As the villain, in the plot, you will be constantly stirring up trouble and acting like a big shot on a variety show, becoming overshadowed by the male and female protagonists. Ultimately, you will be framed and blacklisted online, and die under the influence of anti-fans.]

"Who are the male and female protagonists?"

[Host, you must know them. The male and female protagonists are Lu Zhixu and Ning Sheng.]

More than knowing them, I was cursing them in my heart just now. Ji Jingchuan frowned, and an irritable mood suddenly appeared on his face.

It’s not over yet, right?

[Not only that, after your death, your sister Shang Que, in her quest to seek justice for you, threatened certain forces while investigating the truth, and ultimately was framed and tragically killed.] Seeing Ji Jingchuan's face suddenly darken, the system immediately struck while the iron was hot: [Host, are you very angry? You're right to be angry. We—]

Before he could finish his passionate words, the young man with delicate features suddenly slammed the table and stood up, shouting angrily, "Come at me if you dare! What's the point of messing with Shang Que? I'll kill him, kill him, kill him!!!"

【？ 】

If shouting could kill enemies, Ji Jingchuan would have been covered in corpses by now. After shouting "kill" countless times, he finally calmed down, but his white neck was still red and veins bulged from his anger.

[Host, don't be angry. With me here, the ending will be different.]

"You're mistaken. I'm not angry." Ji Jingchuan denied it flatly, his handsome face showing his usual arrogant expression again. "A genius won't be swayed by emotions."

He picked up the phone, and after a moment, as if something suddenly occurred to him, his mood changed rapidly. He raised his eyebrows proudly and said, "Shang Que really cares about me."

【Host, you care about her too. 】

"No." Ji Jingchuan's expression changed in an instant, and he emphasized in a stiff and awkward tone: "I don't care about her at all!"

While saying this, he clicked on Shang Que's Weibo homepage, and the latest content caught his eye.

[Shang Que V: The best brother in the world @Jiang Yizhe V]

Ji Jingchuan was suddenly startled.

The person Shang Que @ed is the actor who plays her brother in the TV series "Let Me Fly." In the show, his character is a sister-con who says, "If anyone dares to say anything bad about my sister, I'll shoot you to death." Their sibling dynamic has garnered widespread online love. Comments like "Give me a brother this cute," "Sister, I'm your long-lost sister," and "I'm hooked on this sibling relationship. They're like real."

Ji Jingchuan stared at this Weibo post, his expression becoming increasingly ugly.

The best brother, the best brother...

After Shang Que returned to China, he never called him brother.

Not to mention "best", the only time she used this word to him was to scold him: You'd better not let me see you offline.

Ji Jingchuan pursed his lips tightly, his eyes reddening with anger. He threw his phone away and fell face-first into the recliner like a deflated balloon.

After a while, he gritted his teeth and said in a muffled voice: "Damn Shang Que, damn Shang Que, damn Shang Que, damn Shang Que."

After a pause, he changed his tone and said viciously: "Damn Jiang Yize, don't you have a sister yourself?"

System: Huh?

Didn’t you say “I don’t care about her at all”?

*

Shang Que spent three days on the trending search list after accidentally liking a fanfiction by Xuxu Rusheng. After finally getting off the trending list, he was pulled back up by the official announcement of the variety show's guest list.

Official V for "Friendship Boat": In this hot summer, let's ride on the friendship boat with @JushiwushuangjijingchuanV@LuzhixuV@ShangqueV@NingshengV@LinjinyiyiyiV@JiangyizheV and spend some cool time together.

[You didn't deliberately put Shang Que in the middle of Xuxu Rusheng, did you? ]

[Official Weibo: I heard my sister is a fan of them, so I'll arrange a great viewing spot for you.]

[This time, the CP dance was really in front of the main character. 】

I feel so bad for Shang Que. It's okay if you're just reading other fan fiction, but you saw someone like the car he wrote.

[Shang Que: Don't cue me, I'm going downstairs to buy a bottle of water. I'm not taking the stairs or the elevator.]

I didn't expect that at the critical moment, it was Lu Zhixu who acted as the 38th parallel separating Shang Que and Ji Jingchuan. Give him the Peace Ambassador Award.

Amidst the jokes, this comment quickly became a trending topic. Netizens were also shocked that Shang Que and Ji Jingchuan were actually going to participate in the same variety show!

"Tell me again, what kind of variety show is this? A friendship variety show???"

[Oh my god, Shang Que and Ji Jingchuan can be friends these days? ]

Is there a possibility that the full name of the variety show is "Friendship Boat, Capsizes at Any Time", and it is actually a water fighting variety show that specifically provides opportunities for them to have an offline Mortal Kombat.

Are you really a genius? [Question]

[Oh my god, won’t these two fight until their heads are broken and bloody? ]

Whether it was the couple's "CP" (couple) being shunned right in front of their real partners, or the first on-camera encounter between two recognized rivals in the entertainment industry, this variety show was full of excitement. As netizens eagerly anticipated it, the day of the recording arrived quickly, and once the live broadcast began, the popularity of the show skyrocketed.

A car with a variety show logo stopped at the side of the road. The driver turned to the person in the back seat, who was wearing an eye mask and seemed to have been unconscious all the way, and said, "Teacher Shang Que, we're here. We can't drive in here, so you'll have to walk a little way."

The production team had ample funds and rented a separate Chinese-style courtyard for the filming. There was a winding, deep stone path in front of the villa, which could only be passed on foot.

Shang Que pushed the door open and got out of the car. After picking up his luggage, he was about to leave when he suddenly heard the driver lower his voice like a thief and say, "Teacher Shang Que, I just checked the group message. They said Lu Zhixu has arrived."

He didn't finish the rest of the words, but that "I wish you success" expression seemed to say it all.

Shang Que seemed not to understand his implication and asked three questions in quick succession: "Which group? Who said that? How long has it been?"

The driver confessed, "It should be about five or six minutes. That's what the driver in our work group who's responsible for picking him up said."

Shang Que frowned and analyzed seriously, "He's deliberately dragging you along. On the surface, he's saying he's already dropped Lu Zhixu off, but in reality, he's just showing off that he drove fast and got there early."

"Ah? No, no way. You're already in your forties. What's there to be proud of?"

"You still have a lot to learn about the ways of the world," Shang Que sighed. "Well, keep learning. Learning never ends."

After confusing the driver with a few words, Shang Que said, "You're in your forties, the right age to make a living. I wish you success," and then calmly pushed the suitcase away.

Shang Que had actually already prepared herself for the accidental "like" incident. After all, this was a fanfiction that required mirroring and inverting to be published, so Lu Zhixu and Ning Sheng wouldn't bring it up to her head. If they didn't ask, she wouldn't tell them. If they did, she'd feign surprise.

In short, there must be a way when the car reaches the mountain. Even if there is no road, she can still fool them like she fooled the driver.

Shang Que was quite open-minded. Walking down the green-shaded bluestone path, the villa where the recording had been made appeared before him. On the other side of the path, a girl in a bright red halter dress and delicate makeup emerged.

Their eyes met, and Lin Jinyi suddenly put on a serious expression. He rolled his eyes behind his sunglasses and whispered in a low voice, "You really love to rub shoulders with me."

Shang Que quickly remembered that in the fanfiction, this drama queen secretly had a crush on the male protagonist, but what did this have to do with her? She just accidentally clicked the "like" button, and she didn't kill Lu Zhixu with her own hands. So she said bluntly, "Why are you mad at me? I'll write a fanfiction for you and Lu Zhixu too."

Lin Jinyi was stunned, her face flushed instantly, and she asked in anger, "What do you mean?"

"Hehe." Shang Que avoided answering and continued to anger her: "Lu Zhixu should have arrived. I'll go in and ask him for advice on how to write your fan fiction."

After she finished speaking, she pushed her suitcase and ran away. Lin Jinyi was so angry that she stamped her feet and yelled at the back: "Shang Que! Stop right there!"

Shang Que didn't stop, but instead sprinted across the stone-stacked courtyard and rushed into the hall like a gust of wind. The two people on the sofa and the audience in the live broadcast room were all startled.

[Oh my god, why are there monkeys in the villa? ]

[I just said this kind of house is unsafe, so I won’t buy it.]

If you don’t buy it, then I won’t buy it either.

【No, this seems to be a person.】

"Sister Shang Que!" Jiang Yize was the first to recognize her, excitedly getting up from the sofa and running over. With her fluffy brown hair and goofy smile, she looked exactly like the golden retriever that netizens were comparing him to.

He and Shang Que play brother and sister in the drama, and they have a good relationship both on and off screen. Jiang Yizhe is a young newcomer to the entertainment industry. He may be born with a simple mind and sees everyone as a good person. When he was excluded on the set, he thought that the other party was training him.

Shang Que couldn't stand this almost bullying behavior at the time, so he helped him out and since then he gained a little follower.

She was about to say hello when a loud shout came from behind her.

"Shang Que!"

Everyone turned around and saw Lin Jinyi's high heels clattering on the floor as she rushed in without caring about her image at all.

Jiang Yize's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, and he asked curiously, "Sister Shang Que, did you two come here together?"

"No, I met her at the door." Shang Que lied without blinking, "Lin Jinyi is my fan. She just chased me outside for an autograph. She was so enthusiastic."

She turned around and added fuel to the fire, grinning at the angry Lin Jinyi: "Am I right?"

Threats, naked threats. Lin Jinyi seemed to see the little devil above Shang Que's head, threatening with fangs and claws. She was so angry that her chest heaved, and her eyes were red under her sunglasses.

However, Lu Zhixu on the sofa also looked over here at this time. In front of him and the camera, Lin Jinyi had to pull the corners of her mouth and admitted through gritted teeth: "Yes, I am a fan of Shang Que."

[Huh? Is Lin Jinyi actually a fan of magpies?]

[They are from the same company. Shang Que is Lin Jinyi's senior. She has achieved such great results in recent years and her popularity has almost reached a peak. It is normal for Lin Jinyi to admire her.]

[And for a young lady like me who has the most stubborn personality in her body to confess her love to Shang Que in public, what else could this be but true love!]

[A tsundere and a bitch x a gorgeous actress, I'm hooked! ]

【Why does it seem like the little chicken's eyes are shining?】

[Because Jiang Yizhe was also recommended by Shang Que, hahahahaha! ]

"What a coincidence! I'm also a fan of Sister Shang Que!" As expected, Jiang Yize seemed to have found a kindred spirit and happily recommended her, "I was saying that Sister Shang Que is such a good person, no one would dislike her! By the way, what's your level in the super topic? Are you in the fan group?"

Lin Jinyi's forced smile could no longer be maintained. She glared at him, snorted with a cold face, and ran angrily to the farthest place to sit down.

Shang Que explained: "Oh, she refused to share the burden."

Hearing this, Lin Jinyi almost fainted from anger. No wonder her manager had repeatedly told her to be more restrained before coming here, and not to mess with Ji Jingchuan and Shang Que.

Now she understood that the former was an obvious bad temper, while the latter was just a mean person!!!

Shang Que, bad!!!
