Chapter 18: Actually Got Kabedon-ed
After a moment of speechless silence, Ji Shilin cleared his throat and said, “Um… Xixi asked me to come and ask for your advice on how to play the coastal CEO.”
Feng Yan paused, then also smiled. “Oh, is that so? Mr. Luo also wanted to ask Weixi for advice on the role of the merman.”
Feng Yan’s inner thoughts at this moment: Fuck, Ji Shilin is actually playing my role. Can he do it?!
Hehe.
Yu Weixi’s inner thoughts at this moment: Fuck, that dead white lotus Luo Yucheng is actually playing my role. Is he worthy?!
Hehe.
“Oh? How to play it?” Yu Weixi tilted his head at Luo Yucheng. “Let me teach you.”
Luo Yucheng looked at Yu Weixi with uncertainty.
Feng Yan raised a slight eyebrow.
Yu Weixi walked up to Luo Yucheng and looked at him steadily.
Luo Yucheng looked back, a little flustered.
Yu Weixi thought for a moment, then turned his head. “Film Emperor Feng, I need your help. You and little Yucheng can act out the scene. I’ll teach him.”
Under Yu Weixi’s arrangement, Luo Yucheng and Feng Yan stood face to face, quite close.
Chu Qing and Ji Shilin were on the side, curiously watching the drama unfold.
“Alright, let me teach you the demeanor of a merman.” Yu Weixi said to Luo Yucheng, “You have to listen carefully and do as I say.”
Luo Yucheng bit his lower lip, suppressed his dissatisfaction, and nodded with a smile.
Yu Weixi said, “The merman is lonely. He can’t find his kind. For thousands of years, he has been wandering in the sea alone. The CEO is the first human he has ever met who has spoken to him. So the merman’s feelings for the CEO are not just love, but also attachment.”
Not bad, Feng Yan thought. He still remembers it quite clearly after four years.
Yu Weixi continued, “So come on! Yucheng, rest your head on Feng Yan’s chest and listen to his heartbeat.”
Feng Yan: “…”
Fuck your mother.
“…What?”
Luo Yucheng stared at Yu Weixi.
Yu Weixi said with a smile, “Isn’t this the scene where the merman and the CEO first meet? What, you don’t dare to do it?”
Luo Yucheng timidly glanced at Feng Yan. Feng Yan stood on the side like a pillar with a cold expression, making Luo Yucheng, who was acting opposite him, inexplicably nervous and afraid to move.
“Do it.” Yu Weixi moved closer to Luo Yucheng, his voice slightly deep, his eyes cold. “I said, lean on him.”
Feng Yan looked at Yu Weixi with dangerous eyes.
The atmosphere around the two of them was a bit cold and tense, like an invisible battle.
Luo Yucheng looked at Yu Weixi, who was glaring at him with a cold face, then at the equally cold Feng Yan standing in front of him. He was in a dilemma, feeling a little scared in his heart.
“Luo Yucheng.” Yu Weixi tilted his head to look at him. “Can’t you understand human language? Am I not teaching you?”
Yu Weixi’s voice was very soft, as soft as raindrops, and his face was also smiling.
But Luo Yucheng’s heart “thumped,” and he subconsciously took half a step back.
Feng Yan stood like an ice sculpture the entire time.
In the end, Luo Yucheng still carefully leaned his head towards Feng Yan’s chest, but he didn’t dare to press it completely against him.
“What? Does Feng Yan have thorns on his body?” Yu Weixi narrowed his eyes. “How can you play a merman like this?”
Chu Qing, on the side, swallowed.
So fierce.
Luo Yucheng looked up, his eyes a little red as he looked at Yu Weixi, his face full of forbearance.
“Alright, alright, let’s just leave it at that.”
Ji Shilin quickly stepped forward and pulled Luo Yucheng away before the situation could get worse.
Feng Yan looked at the Yu Weixi before him, and for some reason, he felt a little angry in his heart.
Feng Yan paused, then turned to look at Ji Shilin, who was trying to smooth things over, and raised an eyebrow. “Mr. Ji is also here to learn, right?”
Ji Shilin was suddenly cued and said blankly, “Ah… yes…”
“Then let me say a few words to you.” Feng Yan ran a hand through his hair and said to Yu Weixi, “Come here, a little closer.”
Yu Weixi glared at Feng Yan fiercely.
What is this guy trying to do! Is he going to copy him?
Yu Weixi glanced at Ji Shilin, with a strong warning in his eyes: Don’t touch him.
Feng Yan said to Ji Shilin, “The CEO’s feelings for the merman are quite simple. At first, he found it novel. Later, he discovered that this person understood him, and he slowly wanted to possess him.”
“He’s a bit more domineering.”
“Mmm.” Ji Shilin looked at Feng Yan apprehensively.
“Let me demonstrate for you. Watch carefully.”
“Mmm. Mmm… ??”
Thump—
Yu Weixi’s eyes widened.
Because then, Feng Yan suddenly, without any warning… pounced on him.
Yu Weixi: “???”
After Feng Yan finished speaking, he roughly and forcefully pushed Yu Weixi onto the sofa behind him.
Yu Weixi was pinned flat on the sofa, his shoulders held down firmly by Feng Yan, and the back of his head was supported by Feng Yan’s other hand.
Yu Weixi blinked. The tall man was hovering over him, so close that he could see the aggression in Feng Yan’s eyes. The warm breath hit the tip of Yu Weixi’s nose, and his whole body froze.
Feng Yan supported himself with one hand on the sofa, and with the other, he pinched Yu Weixi’s chin and raised an eyebrow. “Mr. Ji, have you learned?”
The remaining three people present were all petrified.
Chu Qing: I feel like I shouldn’t be here. I should be under the car.
“You…!” Yu Weixi barely came back to his senses. The shock in his eyes was replaced by shame and anger. He trembled with anger. “Feng! Yan!”
Feng Yan held Yu Weixi’s hand tightly, turned his head, and smiled. “Remember, this is the CEO’s persona.”
“I remember…” Ji Shilin’s mood was very complicated.
“Feng Yan, you bastard! Go to hell!” Yu Weixi shouted, “Get up!”
Is this person crazy?!
With that, Yu Weixi directly lifted his leg and kicked Feng Yan hard.
Feng Yan quickly got up and dodged Yu Weixi’s sweeping kick.
“Are you sick?!” Yu Weixi got up, his hair a little messy, his ears slightly red. “Did I ask you to demonstrate?!”
“Am I not just learning from you?” Feng Yan spread his hands. “Aren’t we just demonstrating for each other?”
Yu Weixi took a few deep breaths, turned around, and left, pulling Chu Qing with him.
In the room, Feng Yan glanced at the still dazed Ji Shilin and Luo Yucheng and raised an eyebrow. “What’s wrong? Still want to learn? Then you two can act out a scene for me to see?”
“No need. I’ll go back and study the script first. I won’t disturb Mr. Feng.” Ji Shilin smiled. “The filming is about to start.”
On the other side, Chu Qing quietly glanced at the furious Yu Weixi, his worldview still being refreshed.
Wow…
It was the first time he had seen Yu Weixi like this, and the first time he had seen someone dare to treat Yu Weixi like this.
And Yu Weixi was currently in a state of self-repentance.
He vaguely remembered what he had said during the live stream—
That’s it! If I act like a little shit and produce candy again today, then I’ll be kabedon-ed by Feng Yan!
Yu Weixi: “…”
As expected, you can’t make random vows, and you can’t set up random flags.
Fuck.
Then the filming began. Today was the second round of contestants going on stage one by one to get their ratings.
“Hello, Producer. Hello, mentors. My name is Chen Taochuan.”
One of the trainees was quite special.
“Oh?” Lu Jiayan flipped through the profile. “You were an amateur before? A dancer?”
“Sort of…?” Chen Taochuan held the microphone. “I was originally a medical student. Later, I felt it wasn’t suitable and I didn’t like it, so I became a dancer… Now I make a living by teaching dance.”
“I see.” Lu Jiayan smiled. “A medical student? That’s not simple. What was your major?”
“Obstetrics and gynecology.”
…
Lu Jiayan: “Wow.”
Truly unexpected.
Yu Weixi was always more interested in dancers. “So you switched from obstetrics to being a dancer because of your interest?”
“Not just that!” Chen Taochuan’s expression was visibly excited. He held the microphone tightly and said loudly, “It’s also because of you!!! I really admire you! You’re a really, really amazing dancer!”
Chen Taochuan said nervously, “I’ve admired you ever since you became famous in that competition in the US when you were eighteen!”
Lu Jiayan: “…Pfft.”
Quite cute.
Yu Weixi raised an eyebrow.
“Then what are you doing here? Why didn’t you go to the dance variety show next door?”
“Oh, oh, because I think I’m good-looking! I can be an idol!”
When Chen Taochuan said this, he was very sincere and serious, without any other meaning. His two eyes were sparkling as he looked at Yu Weixi.
Yu Weixi: “…”
The others couldn’t help but laugh.
Yu Weixi said with a blank expression, “You can start dancing.”
The music started, and Chen Taochuan closed his eyes slightly.
Yu Weixi was a little surprised. This person looked a little silly, but the music was deep, the drum beats were dense, and a lot of cool special effects were added.
It was the kind of music usually used for Krump.
Then, everyone was surprised.
“Bang!” A gunshot sounded in the music. Then, when Chen Taochuan was dancing on stage, his whole person changed.
Violent, powerful, handsome… like a roaring beast, his body moved smoothly and powerfully.
Yu Weixi’s eyes lit up.
It really was Krump, and a very good Krumper at that.
“Thump! Thump! Thump!”
Chen Taochuan’s feet slammed on the floor with a powerful sound.
And as the melody progressed, Chen Taochuan got closer and closer to the judges’ table, finally ending with a perfect Chest Pop in front of Yu Weixi’s seat.
It was like he was having a dance battle with Yu Weixi, showing off.
“Good!”
After he finished dancing, Lu Jiayan couldn’t help but shout and clap. “Good!”
Yu Weixi also nodded. “The best dancing I’ve seen so far this season. Besides Krumping, do you know any other dance styles?”
Chen Taochuan said, panting, “I do! I teach Urban dance.”
Although it wasn’t a dance style, knowing it would make things much easier later on.
Yu Weixi was very satisfied and wrote an A.
Chen Taochuan was so happy he couldn’t close his mouth.
The next few contestants were not bad. Some were average, some performed okay.
“Hello, mentors. My name is Xu Renjian.”
Like Chen Taochuan, he was an unsigned individual trainee, an amateur.
But he was a little different from an amateur.
“Oh…” Lu Jiayan smiled. “It says here that you had a fan base before you came on the show, and quite a large one.”
“Yes.” Xu Renjian grinned. “I write songs and sing online. I accumulated fans on Weibo without realizing it.”
“Alright, you can start.” Xu Renjian seemed very confident, so Lu Jiayan didn’t say anything.
Xu Renjian then sang a song, a love song. His expression was extremely affectionate. When he reached the climax, he even bent over, hysterical.
I have to say, he sang quite well.
After he finished singing, Lu Jiayan looked at Chu Qing.
Chu Qing said, “You sang very well. It seems you’ve studied professionally.”
Xu Renjian smiled, as if it was a matter of course.
“But…” Chu Qing paused and said helplessly, “just this is not enough. Your singing… how should I put it, it’s like you’re reciting lyrics, like you’re singing for the sake of singing. So although it’s listenable, it’s not pleasant to listen to.”
Xu Renjian’s smile immediately shattered and froze on his face, as if he couldn’t believe it.
“Not pleasant to listen to??” Xu Renjian repeated blankly.
Chu Qing corrected, “It’s just not that attractive.”
Xu Renjian was silent for a moment, then said with dissatisfaction, “I feel like you’re not respecting me.”
…
Yu Weixi was taken aback and looked up with curiosity.
Wow.
Did I just meet a second me??
Where did this weirdo come from, daring to speak like this on a show?
Xu Renjian repeated, “Mr. Chu, when you say that to me, it makes me feel like you’re not respecting me. And Mr. Yu.”
Xu Renjian looked at Yu Weixi and said angrily, “I feel like you’re not respecting me either. You started playing on your phone after I sang.”
Yu Weixi: “…”
