Ye Chen was delighted. âBrother Zhe, what are you going to play as?â
Once he said those words, Yu Xingzhe began to regret it. That was so childish, it truly wasnât in line with his reserved persona.
But who would have thought that Ye Chen would take it seriously and said, âIâll ask Director Li and see if there are any suitable roles for you!â
Gu Xi, â...â
Yu Xingzhe, â...â
Ye Chen had taken his leave. Yu Xingzhe opened his mouth, thinking of calling him to return, but Gu Xi said, âHe told me that after he finished shooting this movie, he wonât accept any more roles.â
Yu Xingzhe was bewildered.
Gu Xi said, âI hope that we wonât have any regret when we watch this movie in the next few decades.â
ââThat Ye Chen wouldnât regret that he had chosen Ren Jing, and that they wouldnât regret having entrusted Ye Chen to Ren Jing.
After Yu Xingzhe pondered over Gu Xiâs words for a while, he thought that he would feel sour like he just drank vinegar, but actually, he felt very calm. He was even slightly looking forward to it.
Looking forward to witnessing Ye Chenâs fairytale love.
Director Li was sipping his tea when Ye Chen ran into and spoke to him. He nearly choked to death before saying, âT-T-That second young master of Yu Family??â
Ye Chen said, âDonât worry, Director Li. Old Yuâs acting skills are much better than mine!â
Director Li wasnât concerned about that. What gave him a headache was... With so many âfamous peopleâ gathering here, it wouldnât match with his low-profile, meaningful, and natural style.
It was his assistant director who had better foresight. This clearly showed that this movie was going to be popular!
Movie King Renââa guarantee that the movie would go to the box office in no time!
Director Guââa well-known figure in the circle!
Yu XingzheââGod-level figure who collaborated with them!
Even though they might lose some audience when Ye Chenâs poster was released (there were always those who didnât want to die of second-hand embarrassment), as long as the movie was screened and the audience saw Ye Chenâs acting skills, they would certainly pass it on by word of mouth. When that moment came...
Goodness, Old Li is about to make a bundle of money!
The assistant director immediately agreed. âNo sweat! It so happens that there is a suitable role for him!â Doesnât fucking matter if there is or there isnât, we have to make him stay first. Itâs good if there is one, but if there isnât, we could just make one up!
Since Director Li was a âface judgerâ, he must seize the opportunity to shoot the movie with this demon-rank figure!
Ye Chen struggled to keep the corner of his lips down. âI wonât, I wonât, I certainly wonât smile anymore!â That was what he said, but his eyes were still in a curve.
Gu Xi told Ren Jing, âYou should be more indifferent to him. That way, heâd be able to bring out the emotion more.â
Ren Jing nodded responsibly. âIâll be more indifferent.â That was what he said, but his pupils which were filled with infatuation almost had âChen Chenâ written all over.
Gu Xi nearly got drowned by all the pink bubbles they were creating!
Yu Xingzhe watched over them for a moment and suddenly didnât feel like signing the contract anymore. Would he be shooting a movie after joining the crew? He would probably be swallowing lots of dog food instead!
They would delay too many hours if they went on like this. In the end, it was Death System who offered to help Ye Chen.
Death System, âCome, come, come, Iâll help you find the right emotion.â
Ye Chen asked, âHow?â
Death System only uttered a sentence, but it was enough to stab right at Ye Chenâs gut. âWhat if everything was a dream?â
Ye Chen suddenly felt that his chest was engulfed with a slight chill.
Death System continued, âHave you really been revived? Does Death System truly exist? Does Ren Jing truly love you? Such a happy life, is it only a pipe dream?â
Death System only casually said these few words, yet Ye Chen instantly lost his wits.
Everyone was quite astonished. They really had no idea how Ye Chen managed to find the (right) feeling.
Fortunately, they shot the scene perfectly. Ren Jing noticed that Ye Chen didnât look well, thus he asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
Ye Chen replied, âI-Itâs nothing.â
Death System said, âAlright, I was just teasing you, donât take it seriously.â
Ye Chen knew that Death System was only teasing him, but when he contemplated on it for a bit, he couldnât help but feel a chill on his back.
When everyone was having lunch at noon, Ye Chen tried his best to keep his spirit up, but he was still somewhat in a daze.
Ren Jing said, âAre you tired? You should return and have a rest in the afternoon. The crew had arranged to shoot other peopleâs scenes first.â
Ye Chen asked, âIs that alright?â
Ren Jing replied, âYes.â
Ye Chen wasnât in the best condition, he didnât want to be at the shooting site in the afternoon. He asked Ren Jing again, âDo you have anything you need to do in the afternoon?â
Ren Jing, âNothing much. Iâll accompany you.â
Ye Chen felt warm inside his heart. He quietly held Ren Jingâs hand, then grunted, âMn.â
Death System felt somewhat anxious. âBrother, thereâs no way youâre that emotional, right? I was merely helping you find the (right) feeling.â Seems like I would overdo it if I was careless.
Ye Chen didnât say anything.
Death System said, âHow could this be a dream? Could you even dream of such a smart and stylish system?â
Ye Chen, â...â
Death System said again, âNow pinch yourself, itâll definitely hurt lots that youâll wail!â
Ye Chen finally said in a low voice after a long time, â...Things are quite unrealistic, indeed.â
Being revived was unrealistic, Death Systemâs existence was unrealistic, and being able to receive a tremendous amount of happiness also made him feel a bit uneasy.
Death System said, âWhatâs unrealistic about them? No matter how unbelievable things might be, itâs real once it happens.â
Is it truly real once it happens? Ye Chen stared blankly as he was lost in thought.
Ren Jing called his name.
Ye Chen suddenly snapped out of it. He looked at Ren Jing while still feeling quite bewildered.
Ren Jingâs eyes had a hint of worry. He kissed Ye Chen then asked, âWhat are you thinking about?â
Ye Chen stared into Ren Jingâs eyes. When he caught sight of his own reflection in his twinkling black eyes, he promptly felt at ease.
There was only Ye Chenâs reflection in his eyes.
This was truly too good to be true.
Ye Chen began to speak. âIâm a little scared.â
Ren Jing asked, âWhat are you scared of?â
Ye Chen whispered, âIâm scared that everything was only a dream.â
âA dream?â Ren Jing was startled.
Ye Chen was very embarrassed, but still said earnestly, âIâve been feeling so happy all this while. Being together with you made me truly happy. I like you, and you also like me... Youâve always been so, so nice to me. Everything is wonderful, so wonderful it feels like a dream...â
Ren Jing abruptly tightened his grip on Ye Chenâs hand.
Ye Chen said as his cheeks reddened, âAm I too...â
Not waiting for Ye Chen to finish his words, Ren Jing spoke. His voice was very low and a bit hoarse when he said, âThis canât be a dream.â
Ye Chen inexplicably felt his heart tightened.
Ren Jing buried himself into Ye Chenâs neck before he took a deep breath. âIf this is a dream, then...â
He didnât finish his words, yet Ye Chen could hear it clearly. He could keenly feel Ren Jingâs fear, so deep it went on the verge of despair.
Ren Jing was a lot more scared than he was.
This sentence plunged into Ye Chenâs mind and immediately sobered him up: I mustnât give way to foolish fancies!
Ren Jing was real, he was real, everything was real!
Ye Chen also hugged him tightly. Upon feeling the warmth of Ren Jingâs body, he felt relieved right away. âRen Jing.â
Ren Jing simply hugged him closely.
Ye Chen said under his breath, âI must be too deeply in love with you.â
Ren Jingâs body suddenly froze.
Ye Chen mustered his courage and continued to speak, âBecause I love you so deeply, Iâm worried about the gains and the losses.â
The author has something to say:
Donât worry, this entire storyâs sweetness is: âââââ (itâll keep going up incessantly XD)
T/N: âBig surpriseâ next chapter! Look forward to it~
um
In response to this chapter: As a 24/7 worrywart and mediocre person, I understand Ye Chenâs sentiment so much (Please Ye Chen bby u and Ren Jing (and all of my children in this novel!?) deserves all the best huhuhuuuuu donât let anyone tell u guys otherwise!?!?!?!?!? Iâll fight ANYONE WHO SHITS ON THEM, I WONâT HESITATE BITCH) </3 It kinda saddens me when I think about how I donât deserve anything I have right now. Even when it comes into translating, I always low-key (or high-key?) feel bad for continuing this series because I was unable to update quicker and that yâall have to keep reading my shitty translations and blabbering LMAO... Well yeah, someone out there said they dropped this novel thanks to my crappy translations so yeah it didnât make me feel better about myself cries. I knowwww, I should just ignore them rite? But yeah, such reviews/comments or things like that always make me wonder if Iâm truly worthy to be called a translator. It also made me maybe a bit too cautious whenever I translate, I had to keep checking the lines over and over again and sometimes stress over them when I canât find the proper translations, or when I canât exactly decipher the raw. Maybe I never was a translator. Maybe I should never translate in the first place. Someone else could definitely translate this novel better. This novel wouldâve been completed by now if I didnât pick it and someone else did. And the list goes on LOL...
Sorry, all that I did these days were blabber... Iâm just so tired, idk. I havenât translated anything for almost a week. I canât bring myself to do things properly ksksksksksk. I canât update on time. I canât reply to comments. I just. canât. I just donât have the energy. Iâm really sorry... Iâll try my best, but I canât promise anything.
