Lu Wenxing tightened his grip on the phone and his heartbeat quickened unconsciously. If he had heard this sentence in the past, the answer would definitely be yes. He wanted to, and he wanted to very much.
After the first episode was aired, Lu Wenxing felt the skyrocketing number of fans, and it was impossible not to be surprised. Wen Miao and Zhou Zitong would dream of becoming famous overnight, and Wei Ze would dream of holding a hundred concerts.
Of course Lu Wenxing would too.
He wants to make movies and he likes making movies.
If only the opportunity had come earlier, or if only he had met Gu Yanshen earlier.
He didn't know that he was living in a novel, didn't know that he was a cannon fodder for the protagonist, didn't know that he would implicate his family, and didn't know how the plot would develop next.
But now, he knows everything.
No matter how reluctant he is, if he wants to stay away from the cannon fodder plot, quitting the circle is his only option at the moment.
Lu Wenxing's throat rolled, and his heartbeat calmed down. He heard his own calm and composed voice, "Teacher Gu, I'm sorry, I don't want to film."
Gu Yanshen didn't ask him why. After a moment of silence, he said to Lu Wenxing.
"It's okay, I just wanted to recommend you for an audition."
"I……"
Gu Yanshen seemed to know what he would say and interrupted him. "Don't rush to refuse. I think you might change your mind."
Lu Wenxing: “……?”
"Contact me when you've thought it over. Go to bed early, good night."
Lu Wenxing was still confused and subconsciously replied "good night".
***
On the weekend, Xie Chengfei had a day off. Lu Wenxing took him out for lunch and then took him back to his dormitory.
"Do you want to play on the computer? Or a tablet?"
Xie Chengfei is a senior this year. The school has strict supervision and usually asks parents not to give their children electronic products. However, Xie Chengfei's grades are very good and no one has to worry about his studies.
"Isn't it time for the holiday?" Lu Wenxing handed the tablet to Xie Chengfei.
"We'll have the day off next Wednesday."
"Okay, we'll go home when you finish class."
Lu Wenxing's adoptive parents live in City B. Both of them are studying abroad. Xie Chengfei always goes back during long vacations. Since Lu Wenxing signed with Mango Entertainment, he only has time to go back for a few days during the winter and summer vacations.
"Brother, I want to drink fruit tea."
Lu Wenxing handed the phone to Xie Chengfei, "Order yourself."
"oh."
Xie Chengfei ordered a cup of Zhizhi Mango for Lu Wenxing and a cup of taro bubble milk tea for himself. While waiting for the milk tea, Xie Chengfei picked up the tablet and opened the video APP, "Have you watched the second episode of "Weekend Without Limits"?"
"No, it was just aired today."
"Then let's watch it together."
This was not the first time Xie Chengfei had been to Lu Wenxing's dormitory. He knew where all his things were placed, and he skillfully took out a tablet stand from the drawer.
The two chatted while watching the variety show. Xie Chengfei also liked to watch the barrage, and he would turn it on every time to share the joy together.
Like the audience in the barrage, Xie Chengfei leaned on Lu Wenxing and laughed when he saw Lu Wenxing opening gifts given by other artists.
"Brother, your expression is so funny."
Lu Wenxing: “…”
"I used to be happiest when I received gifts. This is the first time I know that receiving gifts can be so difficult. You really have worked hard."
Lu Wenxing: “…”
Not only Xie Chengfei was laughing, the comments in the barrage were also very joyful.
[Xingxing's expression doesn't look like she likes it! ]
[Oh my god, when Song Jiajia posted on Weibo, I really thought Xingxing liked pink]
[Hahahaha, I almost died of laughter. Xingxing’s expression when she opened the gift box was really funny]
【Xingxing: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing? 】
When Lu Wenxing opened the third gift, he looked up and asked the director, "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
The post-production editing added a lot of question marks above Lu Wenxing’s head, with a subtitle:
[Children, do you have a lot of question marks?]
"Do you think girls can wear such a large home outfit?" After the director answered the question, Lu Wenxing had to put aside his doubts and guess the next gift box.
As the rabbit dolls were displayed one by one, Lu Wenxing finally couldn't hold back his expression anymore and raised his doubts once again.
"Isn't it really the wrong person?"
[Although I feel a little sorry for Xingxing, it's really funny]
[I am now curious, why do they give star-shaped pink gifts]
[Curiosity +1]
Xie Chengfei noticed the bunny dolls placed separately on the table and the bookshelf, and picked up one and rubbed it.
"It's actually quite cute."
Lu Wenxing: "Like?"
"Not bad." Xie Chengfei was busy watching the variety show, so he just responded casually, not noticing Lu Wenxing's thoughtful expression.
In the video, what Lu Wenxing finally took apart was a Bluetooth speaker. The program crew gave him a close-up, capturing his surprised and delighted expression clearly.
"It seems that Xingxing likes this gift very much."
[Xingxing: I don’t like this gift, I just don’t like pink]
[Xingxing: My world is finally not pink]
[Hahahaha, huge misunderstanding]
When Lu Wenxing put little grey hearts on other gifts, the comments on the forums became even more crazy.
"Except for the green team where Lu Wenxing is, the other two teams will each be deducted 20 points."
After the director finished speaking, everyone except Gu Yanshen had a look of disbelief on their faces, and a special editing comparison was made in the later stage.
The picture is divided into two. On the left, Song Jiajia and others said very confidently, "Xingxing will definitely like it." On the right, Lu Wenxing pasted a gray heart.
【Hahahaha, fuck? 】
So why are they so confident?
【Same curiosity】
"You're a big liar."
Song Jiajia in front of the camera said with a sad face: "Didn't you say that you like whatever I give you?"
"I don't know which one was given by Sister Jiajia."
[Wait! So the Bluetooth speaker was given by Brother Shen? ]
[Why is it that only the deep gift is out of place among the pink and tender people? 】
[The rabbit was given by Da Meijia. Looking at Da Meijia’s Weibo, Lu Wenxing had to force himself to like it, hahahaha]
Then came the accusations against Gu Yanshen from several other artists.
“A question mark indicates doubt, which means uncertainty.”
When Gu Yanshen said this, not only did the artists widen their eyes in disbelief, but the audience in front of the screen also looked confused.
[??? Am I the only one who feels the sudden deep tea? ]
[Hahahaha, so it was spread by mistake from Brother Shen]
[So you are this kind of Gu Yanshen]
Lu Wenxing turned his gaze to Gu Yanshen with a bright smile.
"Explain?"
"I like pink?"
Facing Lu Wenxing's two consecutive questions, Gu Yanshen put on a serious expression and said seriously, "Tactics."
"You see, we scored 20 points at the start, and they started with minus 20."
[Fuck! What the hell is tactics? Brother Shen, do you think I believe it?]
[Fuck, my brother Shen’s cool and calm personality has collapsed]
[I am the only one who is curious, why did Gu Yanshen say that Xingxing likes the color pink? ]
[Curiosity +1]
When Xie Chengfei saw this, he turned around and asked Lu Wenxing, "Why did Mr. Gu say you like pink?"
Lu Wenxing: "…Because of tactics?"
Xie Chengfei: “…”
"Don't use the words he used to fool you to fool me." Xie Chengfei was not so easy to fool, but if Lu Wenxing didn't say it, he couldn't guess it.
"Do you want to watch it or not? You have so many questions." Lu Wenxing pretended to turn off the tablet.
"look."
Xie Chengfei held on to the tablet tightly and refused to let go.
Next came the announcement of the task, which was to work as a waiter or resident singer in a bar. When Lu Wenxing was asked specifically if he had ever been to a bar, he answered.
"When I was a freshman, I hadn't signed with an entertainment company yet, so I worked as a part-time singer in a pub near the school."
"I only knew that the stars can dance, but it turns out they can sing well, too?"
"Xingxing's voice is so beautiful, she must be a good singer too."
Several artists talked one after another, and the comments were neatly displayed in a row [High energy ahead]
Then, there was Wen Miao's humble tone.
“Although I’ve released an album, I’ve never performed live before. I don’t know if I’ll get stage fright.”
Li Xiangming nodded in agreement, "Although I have held concerts, I only needed to sing. In terms of livening up the atmosphere, we are definitely not as good as the stars."
[Hahahaha, look at Xingxing’s expression, it’s so funny]
[Xingxing: Nothing more than nothing, nothing more than nothing]
Xie Chengfei was watching intently, but Lu Wenxing was not as obsessed as him. He answered a phone call and went downstairs to get takeout.
When Lu Wenxing walked in with milk tea, he saw Xie Chengfei looking at the tablet in amazement.
Seeing Lu Wenxing coming in, he pointed at Gu Yanshen and said, "Actor Gu can also mix cocktails? That's amazing!"
Lu Wenxing: "...I can do it too."
"oh."
Lu Wenxing: “…”
A while later.
"The cocktail looks so cool! Look, there are sparks on the poured cocktail."
Lu Wenxing: "Looks handsome, but actually just like that."
But Xie Chengfei didn't care what Lu Wenxing said at all, and his eyes showed some interest and eagerness to try.
"Brother, you look so handsome in a suit!" Seeing Lu Wenxing entering the camera in a suit, Xie Chengfei praised him generously.
Lu Wenxing then curled the corners of his lips, "When has your brother ever not been handsome?"
The two of them sipped their milk tea and continued watching the variety show.
"Who taught you this trick of giving roses?" Xie Chengfei was a little surprised. "In the words of the girls in our class, it's 'Brother, you are so good at it'!"
"Why do you care about what girls say?" Lu Wenxing flicked Xie Chengfei's forehead, "Are you in a premature love relationship?"
Xie Chengfei pouted, "Brother, I'm almost eighteen, it's not considered a premature love anymore."
Lu Wenxing narrowed his eyes and said in a more serious tone, "Are you really in love too early?"
"I'm just giving an example. I didn't fall in love early." Xie Chengfei couldn't help gossiping when he talked about this. "Brother, have you ever been in love?"
"No."
Xie Chengfei rarely talks about such topics with Lu Wenxing, so Lu Wenxing couldn't help but become serious.
"I don't care about your studies. The college entrance exam is only half a semester away, so focus on it. Even if you like a girl, you have to hold it in until after the exam."
Xie Chengfei was usually quite obedient, but he couldn't stand Lu Wenxing controlling him like a parent, so he couldn't help but retort.
"I held it in until after the college entrance exam, and then everyone was chased away."
Lu Wenxing: “…”
As soon as Xie Chengfei moved his eyes to the tablet, he saw a slender hand reach over the girls in the front row and take the rose in Lu Wenxing's hand.
It was Gu Yanshen’s hand.
Xie Chengfei always felt that something was strange. Why did Gu Yanshen specifically reach out to take the rose?
The atmosphere and occasion made it seem like a confession scene.
Lu Wenxing watched it with Xie Chengfei for a while, and when he saw the director sending him a text message, he couldn't help but think of the sentence "Can I touch your abdominal muscles?"
Lu Wenxing didn't want Xie Chengfei to see such embarrassing lines, so he took the tablet away.
"You should go back to school."
"It's only five o'clock." Xie Chengfei hadn't finished reading yet and tried to grab the tablet from Lu Wenxing's hand, but Lu Wenxing pressed him down on the chair. "Evening self-study is at 7:30, let's go out for dinner, and I'll take you back to school."
"Can't we order takeout and watch while we eat?"
"no."
Lu Wenxing refused directly. After putting on his coat, he handed Xie Chengfei's coat to him.
However, what Lu Wenxing didn't know was that although Xie Chengfei didn't see it, the majority of the audience saw it. What's even more amazing is...
Just a few hours after the variety show was broadcast, when asked why Gu Yanshen chose Lu Wenxing, Gu Yanshen's "rigorous" "joke" became a hot topic.
——No, I am more rigorous.
——How rigorous is it?
——According to the criteria for selecting a concubine.
Wei Ze was a surfing boy and he forwarded the message to Lu Wenxing.
[Wei Lai’s top star] Look at the stars.
#More rigorous Gu Yanshen#
Lu Wenxing: “…”
Lu Wenxing hesitated for a moment before clicking in to read it. Fortunately, the topic was not about him, and no fans took it seriously. The reason why Gu Yanshen was sent to the hot search was——
[I can even tell jokes]
[Hhhh, seeing the confused expressions of the other people, I almost died of laughter]
[I made a serious joke]
[Ah!! Please ask Shen Shen to appear in more variety shows. I always thought that Shen was a cool, calm and steady male god. Now I know that Shen can also tell jokes.]
In the hot search topic list, the largest number is Gu Yanshen's fans, most of whom are laughing at the "cold joke" that Gu Yanshen said, but there are also a few Weibo posts without likes or comments, and they are secretly supporting the couple.
[A dumpling] I am the only one who thinks Shen Shen and Xing Xing are a good match
[Sugar Girl] So sweet! Even if you cut out Shen Ge's words separately, they sound like a confession.
[Milk Tea is True Love] Why did I feel so sweet in entertainment variety shows? Is what I am watching not really a dating variety show?
[Working People] Heavy sweets lovers say: These two CPs are so boring
A blogger with few fans also posted a Weibo following the trending topic.
She also attached two photos, which seemed to make sense.
The first one is a photo of Gu Yanshen in a costume drama a few years ago, in which he played the role of the Regent.
The second one is a screenshot from a variety show, which is what Gu Yanshen said, "according to the standards for selecting concubines."
The two pictures are put together, and the blogger adds text -
The Regent Prince personally selects a concubine!!! The cold and ruthless Regent Prince x the beautiful concubine? CP name: Princess
