Chapter 6

As the famous prince of the Beijing circle, Wei Ziyu is of course the most popular person in the whole program. He was also the first one to enter for the recording of his personal vlog. He did not leave after the recording because he wanted to see Jiang Chenglu behind him. Since they are still in the stage of reconciliation, he, who is arrogant, stubborn and cold, just wanted to take a look from a distance and then leave. But halfway through, he suddenly felt a pair of eyes focused on him, and when he looked again, he met Chu Yu's eyes.

But that was his unilateral opinion.

He had heard of the name Chu Yu before entering the camp. He thought that he was not a good person and had a lot of negative information about him. Fu Hansong, who was in the same circle, had talked to him about this person in a contemptuous tone. He had only heard about the incident in which he put nails in the shoes of a trainee from the same company, and that Fu Hansong had jokingly asked him to be careful about his little white girl, saying that Chu Yu liked to target the little, pretty, and unknown trainees with no background.

It just so happened that he met the real person today. The real person looked very different from the evil face he imagined. It was so beautiful that it was deceptive. But a vicious heart cannot be concealed by a beautiful appearance. He should give the other party a verbal warning so that he will not cause trouble for Jiang Chenglu.

When he brought Chu Yu to a deserted tree-lined path and stopped, he sternly said, "You..."

Before he could utter the next word, his words were interrupted by a sudden air broadcast.

[Are the top guys in those classic crematorium romances always 188cm tall?]

Wei Ziyu thought about what he had just heard in disbelief. Apart from the three familiar numbers, he didn't understand anything else.

But how did he know I was 188 cm tall?

[There's no heel pad either, so it seems less watery than the guy with sunglasses.]

Who is the guy with sunglasses?

[Hey, hey, I'm not really stupid. I just like to be a fool. I can guess what he's going to say next with my eyes closed.]

The voice seemed to be talking to someone, and the back and forth conversation became more and more excited.

...It's so noisy. Never mind. He must be hallucinating. He hasn't even started warning the person in front of him yet.

Thinking of this, he frowned and opened his mouth again: "Give me..."

[Be careful and don't mess with Jiang Chenglu. I know all the dirty things you did in the past. If you don't want to get out of this show, just stay in your place and behave yourself.]

Wei Ziyu, whose all lines were taken away, was dumbfounded.

The key point is that the broadcast voice that interrupted his lines sounded mean.

Chu Yu, who was standing in front of him, pursed her lips, her slightly drooping eyelids making her look cold and distant, her whole person exuding an indifference that was none of her business: "What?"

The voice is exactly the same as that mean radio broadcaster.

It was the first time that Wei Ziyu was so embarrassed and silent in front of a stranger of the same age.

The host has stopped talking, but the broadcast is still going at full speed.

"Why aren't you talking, little brother? Is there something on your mind? Is it because you can't win over your wife? Or is it because she would rather wash dishes in a restaurant than accept your 100,000 yuan check?"

"Why is this happening, little brother? Let me see which chapter you first kissed your wife in. Wow, it's chapter 101. You're only one more 300,000 words away from winning over your wife. Come on, little brother!"

...A few blue veins popped out of Wei Ziyu's temples.

Unlike the previous few people, he almost immediately accepted the fact that he could hear Chu Yu's inner voice. Although he still couldn't quite understand the specific meaning of "one hundred and one chapters" and "three hundred thousand words" in that voice, he could still hear the basic emotions - the person in front of him was mocking him, and probably cursing him very dirty!

God bless you, this is the first time since Chu Yu was born that someone’s first impression of him is that he “likes to be a jerk”.

[I'm really bored. Their passionate and abusive love story of you running away and him chasing after you has nothing to do with me. I'm just a passerby whose life has not had any setbacks.]

[Why isn't he talking? If he keeps standing there like this and gets photographed by the fans outside, they'll tell us off.]

When Wei Ziyu heard this, he jumped back ten steps quickly as if by reflex.

【Wow, such flexible legs.】

...Even though the person opposite him had only said two words from the beginning until now, he felt like he was already overwhelmed.

The prince of the Beijing circle, who had lived a smooth life for the past 20 years, had never experienced this feeling of meeting his nemesis.

He was now even afraid to hear that broadcast voice ringing in his ears again.

"What do you want to say?" The person opposite seemed to be a little impatient, with cold eyebrows slightly frowned, and long eyelashes drooped to cover her eyes. Anyone who saw her would exclaim that a cold and aloof beauty had come down to earth to participate in a talent show. However, once it was combined with the voice broadcast in the air and consumed, it was a different scene.

[If he doesn't say anything, I'm going to get so embarrassed! ]

I really want to crawl in the dark. I really want to crawl in the dark. I crawl, crawl, crawl, crawl, crawl, crawl, and quickly leave this beautiful world.

"...Nothing." Wei Ziyu was shocked by his own weak voice when he spoke again. His tone was almost begging, "You can go back first."

He almost added "ancestor" at the end of the sentence.

He needed to be alone and calm down. The incessant broadcasting noise, with each decibel louder than six, was too mentally polluting.

"Hmm?" The person in front of him seemed to hum a syllable casually through his nose, and his expressionless face showed no emotion.

But the voice of the heart can be like——

Did I guess the line wrong? How could that be? (Confused)

[Alright, alright, finally we can go. Yay! Take off! (Exultant)]

...a very strange and bizarre mental state that one will never forget once hearing it.

Especially with such a cold and icy face, it is even more disconnected.

Wei Ziyu was still complaining while treating the mental damage he had just suffered. Chu Yu had already fled the scene at a speed of 800 miles, running faster than a rabbit. Halfway through his run, the system suddenly called out to him, "Host!"

What's wrong?

"Look, that's Jiang Chenglu!"

hold head high?

Chu Yu turned around and just happened to see a young man with a trainee nameplate hanging on his chest standing under a poplar tree across a tree-lined avenue. He lowered his head and pursed his lips as he looked at his empty hands, his expression seeming a little depressed.

"According to the plot in the original book, you did behave yourself for a while after being threatened by Wei Ziyu, but other trainees did some tricks. Jiang Chenglu was tripped as soon as he came out of the studio. He should be looking at the new wound on his hand now."

hold head high?

"Don't be so arrogant, Yuan Fang. I'm telling you all this just to hear what you think!"

Mr. Di, based on my many years of experience in handling cases, I usually use my eyes to see things like this.

The system crashes and displays a blue screen.

Chu Yu touched the pocket of his coat and unexpectedly found a roll of something. He hesitated for a while, took more than ten deep breaths, and finally walked towards the boy opposite him who looked gentle and non-aggressive with an attitude of being ready to die.

Jiang Chenglu was lowering his eyes as he listlessly lowered his sleeves, covering the red marks on his fair wrists from the fall a few minutes ago. When he looked up again, a few Band-Aids suddenly appeared in front of him, along with the cold and sullen face of the boy who handed them to him: "Here you go."

He blinked, and before he could react, he tentatively stretched out his fingertips to remove the Band-Aid from the other person's palm. The next second, the other person turned and left. His movements were neat and clean, without any regrets, which made him even more confused.

But he remembered the name on the nameplate on the man's chest and that handsome and extremely objective face.

Based on Xiao Baihua's many years of experience with bad people, he thought the person in front of him was a good person.

On the other side, Chu Yu breathed a sigh of relief after galloping away from the delivery scene, and was very satisfied with his performance without stuttering or turning his head.

Very good, very straightforward, and should be very handsome. Although he was too nervous to look at Jiang Chenglu's reaction opposite him, since he was willing to accept his Band-Aid, it means that his interaction with humans just now was very successful!

He's one big step closer to overcoming his social anxiety disorder! Yay!

The system in his brain was still pondering the deeper meaning and logic behind his actions. "Host, I know your trick. It's called taking advantage of a weak position and providing timely assistance. Using the tiniest of band-aids to gain the most sincere gratitude, you use this to build closer ties, infiltrate the enemy, and ride on the protagonist's luck to become the protagonist yourself! Right?"

Huh? Chu Yu lowered his head and touched his pocket again. This time it was empty.

I'll just give it away if I want to. I won't be using this thing for a while, so I might as well give it to someone who needs it more.

Do you have any misunderstandings about a kind-hearted person who eats a lot and thinks little?

[Ding Dong, the character Jiang Chenglu's favorability towards you has increased by +5. The total favorability of all trainees is now 5. Please keep up the good work, host!]

An electronic synthesized announcement sounded, startling both Chu Yu and the system.

Chu Yu asked in his heart, was it you who made that clip sound just now?

"No! I'm a mature young man and I don't make slurs." The system paused after speaking, then happily added, "This is the automatic announcement when the mission progresses. Host, we have gained favorability!"

Chu Yu also nodded with emotion, and asked: What is the maximum favorability requirement for trainees in my task card?

“…200.”

The system was afraid that Chu Yu would feel that his goal was out of reach and would simply give up, but the host's train of thought seemed to be more peculiar than he imagined.

5:200, that doesn't seem too difficult, Chu Yu pondered to himself.

Wouldn’t it be enough if he just gave Jiang Chenglu 40 more Band-Aids?

Is he really a genius!

"Where are we going next?"

Chu Yu looked around. It was a rare sight with no one around and the sun shining brightly. In a good mood, he found a roadside bench and lay down on it.

sleep.

The only activity scheduled for the afternoon is recording a personal talent vlog. After the filming is completed, he can rest. Tomorrow morning, he will start rehearsals for the three-day trainee debut stage performance. In other words, at least he can rest assured today.

Sleep, sleep, sleep! The purpose of life is to sleep whenever you can!

The system, for once, didn't interrupt him. Instead, it quietly and continuously made the sound of keyboard tapping in his head. Chu Yu was almost falling asleep under the gentle warmth of the sun. Half asleep, he asked it, "What are you doing?"

"I was looking for a bug. My intuition told me that something was wrong with the system, but my permissions were too low. I searched for a long time but couldn't figure out what the problem was."

Then don't waste your energy and sleep with me for a while.

"...If you can improve the mission progress a bit more and let us get the periodic rewards, I can upgrade the system. Then I should be able to find out what the bug is."

Chu Yu simply played dead and pretended not to hear anything.

When it comes to bugs, it is better to believe they don’t exist than to believe they do, especially a Schrödinger’s bug. If you think it is fine, then it is fine.

He has always been open-minded when it comes to getting into trouble.

"..." The system sighed like an old father, and silently used its authority to raise the temperature around Chu Yu a little to prevent him from catching a cold.

He slept unexpectedly soundly. When Chu Yu opened his eyes again, the sun had already set and it was pitch black all around. He touched his hands together and found that they were not as cold as he had imagined.

He wanted to take out his cell phone to check what time it was, but after fiddling with it for a while, he remembered that his phone had been taken away. So he slowly stood up and prepared to go back to the dormitory.

At this moment, an electronic broadcast voice exactly the same as the one in the afternoon rang crisply in his ears, and the content of the broadcast made both the person and the system confused.

[Ding Dong, congratulations to host Chu Yu for gaining 20 points of audience favorability. The current total audience favorability is 20. Please keep up the good work, host!]
