Chapter 144 The goose that was eating melon seeds, quack!
Xu Wang looked up at Pei Yanchuan above him in confusion.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just want to learn too." Pei Yanchuan's cold expression softened instantly when he looked down at Xu Wang.
“Okay, then look carefully. Click here to move, click here to use skills…” Xu Wang raised his phone up to make sure Pei Yanchuan could see it before explaining it to him in detail.
Looking at Pei Yanchuan on the left, who resembled a dragon guarding a jewel, and then at Jiang Xiubai on the right, who was staring intently at him, Yunxi felt tears welling up in her eyes. The joy of her winning streak in the game could no longer salvage her current sorrowful mood.
After the celebration banquet ended, the live stream was also turned off on time.
Xu Wang looked at Yunxi, who was suddenly avoiding Jiang Xiubai, and his gossip radar suddenly started flashing wildly. Did these two have something going on?
Curious, he quickly walked over to Yunxi and patted him on the shoulder. Yunxi was startled and turned around. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was Xu Wang, and his tense body relaxed.
"What's wrong with you?" Xu Wang looked at Jiang Xiubai, who was slowly following behind Yunxi.
"Sigh..." Yunxi sighed deeply.
Xu Wang continued to wait.
"well……"
"Alright, stop talking. I suddenly don't want to know anymore. You can go tell Jiang Xiubai instead." Xu Wang said coldly, turning to leave.
"Hey, don't go. I'm just organizing my thoughts. This matter is a bit complicated, mainly because I was naive when I was young."
Before Xu Wang could fully turn his head, his arm was grabbed tightly by someone.
Pei Yanchuan, walking alongside Jiang Xiubai behind the two, stared at Yunxi's hand with a piercing gaze.
Yunxi trembled instantly, and he lowered his head and quickly let go of her hand.
Xu Wang stopped walking.
Yunxi's hands were almost twisted into a pretzel when, in a fit of despair, she took out her phone and opened the chat history of a game account she hadn't accessed in a long time.
Xu Wang curiously leaned over to look.
Yunxi's game name is "Grumpy Cat Head".
Grumpy Cat Head: Brother, you're so good at games! [Admiration]
Brother: Hmm, it's alright.
Grumpy cat head: [Cat peeking out]
elder brother:?
Grumpy Cat Head: Please carry me! [Crying emoji] [Screenshot of consecutive losses]
elder brother:…………
Brother: Pull me up.
Grumpy Cat Head: [So happy I'm spinning around - Wuhu]
Xu Wang looked at Yunxi, who was almost completely shrugging her neck, with a strange expression. So you've always been like this since you were little?
Yunxi smiled awkwardly at Xu Wang, mainly because she was young back then.
Xu Wang continued reading.
Grumpy Cat Head: Good morning, brother.
Angry cat head: Running, running...
Grumpy Cat Head: Goodnight.
Grumpy Cat Head: Brother, have you had breakfast yet? I'm in line.
………………
At first, it was just Yunxi posting, but gradually the other side started replying as well.
Grumpy Cat Head: Brother, the sunshine is so nice today! [sun]
Brother: Mm.
Grumpy Cat Head: Brother, have you finished lunch? [Peeking]
Brother: Hmm, wanna play games?
Grumpy Cat Head: [Play!]
………………
Brother: You've been very busy lately?
elder brother:? ? ?
Brother: Reply to the message!!!
When Xu Wang saw this, he knew that things were not going well.
He continued scrolling down, and found only messages from the other party, sent every few months, mostly with question marks, until the last message sent last December: "Where are you?!"
The chat ended there.
"So... you flirted with Jiang Xiubai, and then you dumped him?" Xu Wang reached out and touched his chin as he concluded.
“I agree with your first statement, but not your second,” Yunxi retorted in a very low voice.
"Is what you're saying important?" Xu Wang asked, speechless.
"Isn't it important?" Yunxi raised her head defiantly. It's very important, okay?
"Then why did you suddenly disappear?" Xu Wang asked again.
"Sigh, it's all my fault..."
“I was ignorant when I was young. Okay, please get to the point.” Xu Wang raised his hand to interrupt.
"Can't you let me set the mood a little?" Yunxi's shoulders slumped abruptly.
"Can this kind of atmosphere solve the problem?" Xu Wang asked rhetorically.
"Okay, no." Yunxi shrank even further, sobbing...
"So you really just want to flirt with him?"
"How could that be! Of course not!" Yunxi shouted excitedly.
In an instant, all three people present turned their gazes toward him.
"So?" Xu Wang looked at Yunxi and handed the right to speak back to her.
Yunxi's upright posture, which had been straightened due to excitement, weakened once again. He tugged at Xu Wang's clothes, signaling him to lower his head.
Xu Wang bent down slightly.
"Three years ago, when I first entered the entertainment industry, I always had a very high and beautiful fantasy about myself, thinking that my future would be bright. But as you know, the entertainment industry is never short of fresh blood, and it is very difficult to make a name for yourself."
"I was doing okay in the first year, but as my first year of newbie protection ended, I got worse year by year. My family wasn't well-off either. At that time, my father fell seriously ill and urgently needed a lot of money for surgery, so I needed to earn money. I worked almost all year round. Sometimes I was so poor that I could barely afford to pay my phone bill. How could I have time to play games? I would forget about them when I was busy."
"When I remembered it again, two years had passed. I was so embarrassed, and the other person stopped messaging me. So I just pretended I never saw it. Anyway, we didn't know each other. Who knew... sigh." Yunxi sighed deeply at the end.
“Who knew he would chase you all the way here? Now you can’t escape him.” Xu Wang continued Yunxi’s words.
"Yeah, so what should I do? I'm so worried. I can't keep running away. I can't afford to pay the breach of contract penalty to the production team, and my agent and company won't allow me to withdraw. Besides, I can't withdraw. My work has finally started to improve, and I've earned more money this year than I have in the past three years." Yunxi was so worried that she had a headache.
"Then you should just tell the truth." Xu Wang looked at Yunxi with an expression that said, "I believe in you."
Yunxi had a look on her face as if the heavens were going to kill her. Heavens above, earth below, have things been too smooth for me these past six months? Why are you testing me like this?
Xu Wang strode forward a few steps, and Pei Yanchuan quickly followed, walking shoulder to shoulder with him.
"Finished talking?" Pei Yanchuan naturally took Xu Wang's hand.
"Mm." Xu Wang nodded with a smile. He was in a very good mood because he had just heard some really big gossip.
That evening, Xu Wang stood by the window in his room and made a phone call to Sister Li.
As Xu Wang expected, Zhong Ran indeed hired online trolls to generate buzz for her performance as soon as the live stream ended, and she has already gained several thousand followers with that singing video.
"How are Yu Yuan's preparations going?" Xu Wang looked through the window at the bright red roses in the courtyard.
"Yu Yuan is very hardworking and diligent. His dance teacher told me that his dancing has improved a lot, and I believe he will bring you a huge surprise." Sister Li's voice was full of laughter, and you could tell that she was in a very good mood.
Sister Li is indeed very happy now because she just watched Yu Yuan's rehearsal today. Yu Yuan's appearance on stage is completely different from his appearance off stage. How to put it, he looks very dazzling on stage. Both his appearance and his singing voice are very eye-catching.
After watching the entire rehearsal, Sister Li concluded that if this person wasn't popular, it was definitely their own fault, definitely their own arrangement, and they must have made a mistake somewhere. But that was completely impossible; Sister Li had absolute confidence in her abilities.
"That's good. If there are no other questions, I'll hang up now."
Just as Xu Wang was about to hang up the phone, Sister Li on the other end seemed to have thought of something.
"By the way, Mr. Xu, Zhong Ran's agent, Brother Jin, suddenly contacted me yesterday. He wants to use the solid evidence he has against Zhong Ran in exchange for a chance to meet with you."
"Brother Jin?"
"Yes, do you want to see him?"
"I'll talk about it after I finish recording this episode and go back."
"Okay, Mr. Xu."
Xu Wang hung up the phone, lost in thought. Zhong Ran's agent was actually going to come to see him with the evidence in his hand. Had he betrayed him?
Before Xu Wang could figure it out, a jacket was draped over his shoulders.
"Hurry up and get into bed after you finish the call. Are you standing in the cold wind?" Pei Yanchuan's voice rang out from behind Xu Wang.
"Ah, you've finished showering?" Xu Wang turned around in surprise, and saw a handsome figure.
Pei Yanchuan was wearing a bathrobe, and water droplets still clung to the ends of his hair because he had just taken a shower.
Xu Wang watched openly and honestly, without even blinking.
"Have you finished reading?" Pei Yanchuan chuckled.
"No, wait two more minutes. I need to see who's so lucky to have such a handsome lover. Oh, it's me." Xu Wang smiled and looked up.
Pei Yanchuan picked up Xu Wang in front of him and said, "Then please let this lucky person go to bed quickly."
"Yes, sir!"
