Chapter 19 Now look what's happened, he's become the villain too...
Chapter Nineteen:
When the sunlight streamed back into the room, Mu Shaowu reluctantly opened his eyes and discovered that Ye Qingxi had fallen asleep beside him at some point.
At this moment, the child's soft arms were draped over her body, her head was lowered, and her soft black hair was brushing against her neck.
Mu Shaowu blinked. If he remembered correctly, they had each slept on one side of the bed last night.
Originally, he wanted to sleep with Ye Qingxi in his arms, but Ye Qingxi refused.
Normally, he would tease him and insist on sleeping with him, but last night was a special case, so he couldn't tease him and could only agree to sleep separately from Ye Qingxi.
Unexpectedly, after sleeping for one night, Ye Qingxi actually snuggled up to me on her own.
So cute.
Mu Shaowu poked Ye Qingxi's little face, but then reluctantly withdrew his finger, afraid of waking the child in front of him.
Last night's events were too heavy. Mu Shaowu was afraid that Ye Qingxi would wake up and find him gone, and feel sad alone. He subconsciously wanted to lie in bed and wait for him to wake up.
Unfortunately, the amusement equipment he ordered for Ye Qingxi arrived, and Mu Shaowu wanted to check it to see if there were any problems.
But if I go for a checkup, I definitely can't just lie in bed and wait for Ye Qingxi to wake up.
To check or not to check, that is the question.
After much deliberation, Mu Shaowu ultimately decided not to get out of bed.
He built the amusement park for Ye Qingxi just to make him happy.
Now that Ye Qingxi might be unhappy, the amusement park is naturally not that important.
Mu Shaowu lay on the bed, quietly watching the child beside him.
It was almost 11 o'clock before Ye Qingxi finally showed signs of waking up.
He hummed twice, twisted his body slightly, then raised his hand to rub his eyes and slowly opened them.
"He's awake." Mu Shaowu poked his little face.
Ye Qingxi nodded blankly, then saw Mu Shaowu lying next to him and asking, "What do you want to eat?"
"It will be all right."
"Let's have shrimp dumplings then, Aunt Zhang made some."
"Okay," Ye Qingxi replied.
"Then you can get up now, little prince~"
As he spoke, Mu Shaowu poked his forehead with his hand.
Ye Qingxi: !!
The Little Prince?!
Where do you get so many nicknames for me, calling me "baby" and "little prince"?
Ye Qingxi instantly woke up, threw off the covers, and walked off the bed.
Seeing that he was in good spirits and that yesterday's events hadn't affected his mood, Mu Shaowu was relieved.
He didn't mention yesterday's incident. He sat up, went into the bathroom, stood next to Ye Qingxi, and brushed his teeth with her.
After washing up, Mu Shaowu carried Ye Qingxi off the stool and went downstairs with her to eat.
Mu Shaoting had already gotten up and was sitting on the sofa in the living room playing on his phone.
Seeing the two of them come down, he said to Mu Shaowu, "Mu Shaoyan went out, so it's just the three of us at home today."
Where did he go?
"They said your brother is in trouble, so go and help him immediately."
Ye Qingxi: ...Got it, off to fight.
After all, Mu Shaoyan's character in the book is a rebellious, eccentric, and flamboyant teenager who bullies the protagonist's younger brother at his high school every day.
"Wait a minute," Ye Qingxi asked in confusion. "This kind of chuunibyou and rebellion is one thing, but what's with the 'kill-matt' style?"
He thought that although Mu Shaoyan's hair was a bit long, he still had the cool and handsome school heartthrob style, and couldn't possibly be associated with the "emo" subculture.
As Ye Qingxi thought about this, he couldn't help but think of Mu Shaoting standing in front of him.
The character in the book is portrayed as someone who loves rock music, is rebellious, unrestrained, and prone to stealing love.
Ye Qingxi looked at her in a white floral dress, with soft, long, wavy hair, and even her makeup was light. Was this... unruly? Wild and unrestrained? A woman who stole someone else's love?
"Auntie, what kind of music do you like?" Ye Qingxi asked.
"Rock and roll." Mu Shaoting said without hesitation.
Ye Qingxi: ...Well, you really do love rock music. I never would have guessed.
So, did he not notice the others either?
Do they have a hidden side that he needs to unlock?
No way!
Ye Qingxi felt that it was highly likely that the younger brother and sister of the main character had distorted their character settings. For example, the main character was a nobody, and there was a huge gap between him and a top star like Mu Shaowu. So when Mu Shaowu didn't want to take the script, the production team opened auditions, and he was qualified to audition. But later, the production team finally managed to persuade Mu Shaowu to take the role, and naturally, the production team would no longer consider the actors who had auditioned before.
The protagonist may feel wronged, dissatisfied, or even blame the production team for having two plans and not taking them, the auditionees, seriously, but he insists on blaming Mu Shaowu.
They felt that he was abusing his power, taking advantage of his status as a top star to steal resources that should have belonged to him.
There's no need for that. To put it bluntly but realistically, Mu Shaowu probably doesn't even know who he is.
He even stole the resources that should have been his. He has such a good idea. Doesn't he realize that even without Mu Shaowu, he wouldn't be able to play the lead role?
How could that be?
What makes a TV series, especially one with a large investment, attractive to investors?
Is it because of its exciting plot and touching story?
Of course not, because many investors simply don't have the time or the inclination to read your script.
So the simplest way is to rely on celebrities.
The more popular a celebrity is, the stronger their fans' purchasing power, and the more likely investors are to make money from them, the more willing they are to open their own pockets.
This applies to both initial investment and subsequent business attraction.
If you really cast an actor that nobody has ever heard of, unless they have powerful connections or someone to promote them, which investor would take money out of their pocket just because they work hard? That's a capitalist, not a philanthropist. So the protagonist was wrong from the start.
What he needs to do is to play every role he can get well, instead of thinking that the role belongs to him just because he auditioned for the lead role and the director politely said "not bad" after the audition.
That's impossible.
Even if Mu Shaowu doesn't act, it won't be his turn.
As a veteran in the entertainment industry for 13 years, Ye Qingxi understands the industry well, both its glamour and its harsh realities.
Therefore, from the very beginning, he disliked seeing Mu Shaowu as an opponent and wanted to pull him down and trample him under his feet.
Now that he's gradually become familiar with the Mu family, he's grown even more disgusted with the main characters.
Want to tear the Mu family apart, with some dying and others going insane, because of their beautiful love? Dream on!
He would never allow them to succeed.
Ye Qingxi suddenly realized that the protagonist's success in the book was largely due to the help of the male lead, Qiu Lu.
What if Qiu Lu can't help him?
Ye Qingxi remembered that the Qiu family was not very powerful at the beginning. It was only as the protagonist's career got better and better that the Qiu family's development also improved. Otherwise, if they were too powerful from the beginning, would the protagonist have attacked Mu Shaowu, the antagonist?
Go ahead and fight. If you win, who will the protagonist have to face? If you lose, that would be too embarrassing.
If we don't fight, how can we experience the love that the protagonist, the dominant one, has for the submissive one?
Therefore, in the author's setting, the Qiu family was not as good as the Mu family at the beginning, and even in the end, they did not catch up with the Mu family. That's why the protagonist made a comeback in the last round and defeated the big villain Mu Zheng, crushing the Mu family's glorious moment.
That's easy.
Ye Qingxi thought, since he hasn't developed into a very powerful being yet, then let him stop developing.
It's getting cold; it's time to stop the Qiu family's development.
However, his cheap father probably couldn't do this; it would have to be his uncle. Ye Qingxi thought to himself that he needed to find time to talk to his uncle and ask him to keep an eye on the Qiu family and not give them a chance to grow.
Thinking of this, Ye Qingxi smiled as if she remembered something.
Well, now he's become the villain too—a mini villain.
I wonder how the main character will describe him. I'm actually quite curious!
