In the hot pot restaurant that was open all night, Cen Yu immediately asked the fat cat, "Are you sure there won't be any bugs when I leave this world?"

For example, someone suddenly disappears while you're eating hot pot!

Or perhaps your personality has changed drastically!

The big fat cat patted its chest and assured, "Absolutely not!"

Perhaps because his credibility with Cen Yu had collapsed, the fat cat, seeing that Cen Yu didn't believe him at all, immediately began to argue, "The last world was different!"

"Because the host is still alive, this world will be sealed off when the host leaves."

"So don't worry about what happens next!"

Cen Yu was skeptical, but decided to believe the fat cat's words anyway.

With only a few seconds left on the countdown to his departure from the world, he silently said "goodbye" in his heart, then felt his consciousness blur, and his spirit left this world.

After he lost consciousness, the people who were holding chopsticks immediately stopped moving.

A moment later, the once-real world suddenly shattered into fragments, and the spirits of the remaining few people coalesced into a single force and went elsewhere...

...

[Remember! Grab Xie Jinshen by the collar and threaten him! Tell him he absolutely cannot tell anyone about this, and if anyone finds out, you'll slash their face!]

"..." Cen Yu had just arrived in this world and hadn't even had time to adapt to the plot when he heard the system's explosive statement.

"Not my brother." Cen Yu asked, puzzled. "Am I a thug or a scumbag?"

"Aren't you just playing the role of a scumbag?" the fat cat questioned.

"..." What you said makes so much sense, I'm impressed.

Cen Yu stretched his shoulders slightly and looked at the pitiful-looking young man in front of him, who was Xie Jinshen, the protagonist of this novel.

"...You should know what you can say and what you can't say, right?" Cen Yu tried to defuse the system's statement and make it harmless.

Xie Jinshen seemed surprised that Cen Yu would come to find him. He nervously clutched the hem of his white shirt. "I didn't know, Xiao Yu."

He leaned against the makeshift curtain behind him, looking at Cen Yu who had come close to him, and felt a surge of fervent joy in his heart—

Xiao Yu is so close to me.

Little Yu is so cute, so close, so very close.

She looks even prettier when she's angry.

Cen Yu had no idea what Xie Jinshen was thinking at that moment; he was still figuring out how to continue the conversation.

As one of the two male idol group audition novels from the last selection, this novel, "Why Did I Become a Top Star in the Entertainment Industry When I Was Just an Assistant?!", is guaranteed by the system to be a completely casual read and will absolutely not have any plot holes!

The main characters, Xie Jinshen and Cen Yu, were originally a college couple!

Unexpectedly, Cen Yu suddenly decided to participate in a boy group audition, and Xie Jinshen, as his lover, could only support Cen Yu. He wished he could work 10 jobs a day just to vote for Cen Yu.

Despite going through all that trouble to dig up wild grass to vote for Cen Yu, Cen Yu finally succeeded in joining the group!

However, on the night of the group's formation, Xie Jinshen did not receive a lover's embrace, but rather Cen Yu's threat.

Cen Yu threatened him, saying that if he didn't want to ruin his future, he absolutely must not mention that the two of them were lovers! He could only say that they were college classmates and good friends.

Furthermore, to prevent Xie Jinshen from speaking recklessly, Cen Yu used some underhanded tactics to make Xie Jinshen their group's life assistant (the kind who eats and lives with them).

The current scene takes place backstage on the night of the group's formation. Xie Jinshen, who was originally excited to celebrate with his lover, was about to receive a threat from his lover before he could even rejoice that his lover had asked him to go backstage.

As someone directly involved, Cen Yu also felt like cursing after seeing this plot.

Soldering iron, you're really no good!

But since the system insisted on this ridiculous plot, he had no choice but to follow it.

So he could only grit his teeth and continue, "If anyone else finds out we're lovers..." He grabbed Xie Jinshen's collar, "then I won't let you get away with it."

He finished speaking and then, unable to bear it any longer, shoved Xie Jinshen away. "Did you hear that?"

Xie Jinshen seemed surprised that Cen Yu would say such a thing to him. He looked down at his collar and hesitated for a long time before saying, "...I understand."

"You're smart to know what's good for you," Cen Yu snorted.

He was standing backstage at the moment, and because their location was secluded, it was almost impossible for anyone else to come.

The other teammates are probably still celebrating with their families in the lounge, and they certainly wouldn't come to this remote place...

The final selection was held in a large recording studio. The air conditioning in this secluded backstage area wasn't very strong, and Cen Yu was still wearing the clothes he had just performed in when he came backstage... Because Cen Yu has a tattoo on his arm, he was wearing a sleeve and decorations on one arm, which conveniently covered up the tattoo.

Cen Yu continued to wait there, somewhat impatiently.

It wasn't that he didn't want to leave, but according to the plot, the main character, Jiang Jueming, who was the center of the group and had huge popularity, came to the backstage where the two of them were having a secret conversation because he wanted some fresh air.

Then I heard the rest of Cen Yu's sentence.

He's just waiting for the main character to come backstage so he can create his first chance encounter with the main character.

Only after hearing a soft footstep did Cen Yu finally utter the remaining half of his line—

"If I hear from a third person that we're in a relationship..."

“Your face is just…” Cen Yu couldn’t bring himself to say anything too extreme, so he paused and let Xie Jinshen think about it himself.

Xie Jinshen indeed showed a frightened expression.

"To prevent you from saying anything inappropriate..." Cen Yu looked at Xie Jinshen, feeling that there shouldn't be any problems with the plot this time!

Because Xie Jinshen in the original work is an honest person!

He's not the naive, seemingly innocent but actually cunning wife type; he's a genuinely honest man!

"You'll become our personal assistant then."

Cen Yu stopped abruptly when he heard the footsteps, realizing that Jiang Jueming must have overheard his conversation.

So he bent down and patted Xie Jinshen's cheek, "Did you hear that?"

Xie Jinshen leaned against the curtain behind him. He could feel the faint woody scent emanating from Cen Yu as he approached... and the warmth of the other's fingers as they touched his face.

He looked at Cen Yu with almost infatuation, finding the other's eagerness to distance himself from him quite endearing.

"I heard that..."

Xie Jinshen said in a low voice.

...

Jiang Jueming stood in the shadows, watching the farce unfold. He squinted and decided to leave before the two people noticed him.
