Bang.
Under the scorching sun, the young man, who had consumed half a bottle of mineral water, rolled down, sitting in the shade for a brief rest. His dark, fluttering eyelashes danced like those ensnared by a nightmare.
A pitch-black lens stood to his left, resembling an eye filled with probing intent. Beyond the lens, rows of real-time bullet comments floated by:
【What happened to him?】
【If you do no wrong, fear no ghost knocking at the door; even in broad daylight, you can still break into a cold sweat.】
【Look on the bright side, maybe it's just an act?】
【Indeed, our acting king is putting all his acting skills into play.】
【Too bad, at this moment, Xue Minglang is busy doing makeup with Su Qingyue, no time to watch him.】
【Tsk.】
The chaotic memories in his mind were forcibly suppressed. His eyelids felt like they had two weights hanging on them as Xie Ye struggled to open them, and his body suddenly felt lighter.
Bending over to pick up water, the staff was also startled, "Brother Xie, you're awake?"
With a pounding temple, Xie Ye responded vaguely, "Hmm."
Earlier, he had only applied a thin layer of foundation. Despite the fine sweat on his forehead, his face showed little change. His skin was as white as snow, and you could even vaguely see the blue marks underneath, fading in the sunlight.
However, his lips were extremely red, and the contrast made him not appear weak at all but rather enchanting.
Although the staff had been seeing this face frequently lately, they couldn't help but steal a few more glances, carefully handing the water to Xie Ye, who was in a hurry, "I'll go get the makeup artist to touch up for you."
Looking around, Xie Ye gradually understood his current situation: the camera, tripod, the stiff microphone on his back, and several handsome men and beautiful women surrounded him. He withdrew his gaze, pinched the water bottle in his hand, and pondered.
He's alive again.
How many trumpets did he have left to scrape?
The female host seemingly casually brushing her hair past her ear, received the order from the chief director.
The female host who received the instructions approached with a smile, "Brother Xie, what are you looking at?"
Xie Ye straightforwardly replied, "People."
【What did I say! Xie Ye coming to record "Let's Travel Together" is indeed with ulterior motives!】
【Taking a closer look, it does seem to be in Xue Minglang direction.】
【He's been rejected several times, why is he still being persistent?】
【Take Xue Ge without reservation.】
【Keep some distance from normal people, please!】
Without guessing, you could tell what the situation in the barrage was like now. The female host showed no signs of trying to defuse the situation.
Instead, she was relentless and insisted on asking the name that everyone wanted to hear before giving up, "People? After observing so carefully, Brother Xie, which guest would you most like to travel with?"
With a splitting headache, Xie Ye couldn't be bothered to think about whether there was a trap in the other's words. He raised his eyes and casually pointed at the one who looked most pleasing to him, "Him."
The female host didn't hesitate, "So it's Xue... Gu Cong?!"
【Gu Cong? These two haven't even spoken to each other. Xie Ye must be trying to save face for himself.】
【Pick up Cong Bao and run.】
【He's still an eighteen-year-old kid!】
The boy chosen by Xie Ye was indeed quite young, tall enough, with facial features still carrying a hint of innocence. Dressed casually in short sleeves and shorts, he seemed completely unafraid of getting sunburned.
Probably hearing someone calling his name, he turned around, revealing a bright and clean smile towards Xie Ye.
1101 came online at this moment.
Being thrown behind by the host once again, it received the development of the plot. Its eyes darkened, "You're wrong, you should have chosen Xue Minglang."
However, the youth being nagged at didn't respond, as if he hadn't heard anything.
"Host? Host?" For the nth time being ignored by the host, 1101 had to raise its voice, "Xie Ye! Passive evasion won't work. We need to complete the tasks well to get rid of the NPC status, didn't you agree?"
Finally, Xie Ye responded, "Too noisy."
Just as this Quick Wear System with the designation 1101 said, he was originally just a tool NPC without self-awareness, pushing the plot in the novel world. However, one day, while busy picking faults with the protagonist, he suddenly felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured over him and woke up.
Recalling various past stupid behaviors that diminished his intelligence and the melodramatic entanglements with the protagonist, Xie Ye decisively chose to pack up and run away:
What a joke, who in a novel world would want to compete with the author's biological son?
And when he ran away, it directly disrupted numerous small worlds, with no more antagonists. How could the subsequent stories be told?
As for the struggling 1101, it wanted to recruit Xie Ye as an employee of the Quick Wear Bureau. However, after seven or eight worlds, no matter how much it talked or persuaded, there was no sign of the other side relenting.
【Alright, alright, I'll keep it down.】
NPCs with self-awareness were equivalent to having human rights. As long as they followed the rules, even the Quick War Bureau couldn't force them. Xie Ye had long passed the stage of getting angry and arguing with it. 1101 spoke with a mature tone, advising patiently, "Didn’t you die again in the last world? If you follow the plot, complete the tasks, and die as planned, you can have another seventy or eighty years of life. You can play around wherever you like after a peaceful death."
Xie Ye responded, "You're right."
Xie Ye continued, "But I don't really want to live that much."
If it weren't for waking up on various small trumpets time and time again, early death might not be such a bad thing for him.
1101: Where is that programmer who conveniently lumped all the supporting roles with the "Beautiful , Strong and Miserable" tag from the homoerotic novels into one model? Come out! It must give that guy a good beating!
For a full eight worlds, lacking the crucial NPC Xie Ye as a driving force, not to mention the chaotic plots, even the relationships between the main characters were unclear. Even though it was just a baby, a pitiful newborn system.
【Xue Minglang is the protagonist gong in this world,】 the stubborn host remained unyielding, leaving 1101 powerless to correct, "You are his 'White Moonlight' from his younger years, helping to contribute to the path of the main character's relationships. How could you choose a background character hastily passed over in the original work?"
Xie Ye responded indifferently, "White Moonlight? I think it's more like rotten rice."
Xie Ye, the movie star, his new small role, had also been a well-dressed young master in his youth. Due to his parents' job changes, he moved abroad to study.
Later, Xie Ye's father made a mistake in his business, and the multi-billion-dollar investment went down the drain. The company went bankrupt, and Xie's father, unable to bear the blow, jumped off a building. Xie Ye's mother followed suit by cutting her wrists.
At the age of eighteen, Xie Ye was forced to drop out of school, wandering the streets of a foreign country. Fortunately, he was discovered by a talent scout and found a job that could make ends meet.
Unfortunately, this niche movie about same-sex love did not make Xie Ye instantly famous. In a foreign land, he played minor roles, worked as a runway model, and after several years, he finally won the Best Actor award with a globally popular suspense film, terminating his contract with the company and returning to China.
In theory, with the title of Best Actor, "Xie Ye" should not have ended up in this situation. However, as the once White Moonlight that the main character Xue Minglang had longed for, he was destined to be dragged into the quagmire by various reasonable and unreasonable accidents in the plot.
So, "Xie Ye," who was originally shooting movies peacefully and almost forgot about Xue Minglang, suddenly became obsessed with him. He openly suppressed Su Qingyue, a junior who had recently become close to Xue Minglang. His actions were arrogant and persistent, and eventually, Su Qingyue's big brother, who cared for his younger brother, exposed a bunch of scandals.
To star in a daring film, dropping out of high school, suppressing juniors, and earning money from s*x scenes... Coupled with the influence of the love brain under the plot, "Xie Ye," who did not have a solid foundation in China, deeply realized what it meant to be mocked across the entire internet.
At this moment, the director's team of a popular variety show dared to invite him to participate. It was nothing more than valuing his black-red flow and the entanglement with Xue Minglang and Su Qingyue. They were afraid that he might not withstand the ridicule and withdraw halfway. The contract offered an extremely high remuneration, and the penalty for breach of contract was also exorbitant.
Originally, "Xie Ye," who acted like a puppet according to the plot, had used most of his savings to repay his father's debts. At this moment, the accumulated funds in his account were indeed not enough for recklessness.
Chasing after a man like this, running without notifying the company even for a variety show, Xie Ye's agent had gradually given up hope of managing him.
The female host in front of him was clearly aware of the twists and turns in this matter. After waiting for a long time without hearing Xie Ye change his mind, she laughed, "Gu Cong is indeed a lovable child. I didn't expect Brother Xie to also watch talent shows."
Xie Ye remained nonchalant, "Mm."
Although he hadn't even seen the face of that person.
"Travel Together," one of the popular slow-paced variety shows in the past two years, had live broadcasts and editing, bringing in new content every day. Coupled with the setting of selecting partners for group travel, it was a paradise for CP (Couple Pairing) fans.
Eight guests, two women and six men. According to the program's initial expectations, apart from "Xie Ye," who went to face Xue Minglang's cold face and dismantle the "Lang Yue CP," there were three male participants. To balance the male-female ratio, one pair would be formed, and the remaining two "strong contenders" would compete to become popular and increase the show's heat.
But with Xie Ye's meddling, the director suddenly felt a twitch in his right eyelid.
As it turned out, his premonition was correct. During the selection process, Xie Ye, who should have actively tried to partner with Xue Minglang, unexpectedly abstained!
"No reason, I'm fine alone," the camera swept over the black-haired youth standing in the center of the venue, casually unbuttoning the top button of his shirt. "Can we speed this up? It's so hot."
Danmu (bullet screen) comments: "Playing the victim again."
【Is it uncomfortable with just two items off?】
【Xue Ge, don't be fooled!】
Destined to be an ignored cannon fodder in the script, Xie Ye didn't care how the outside world would judge him. Facing the surprised gazes around him, he returned to his original position. He even applauded when the main characters successfully formed their team.
Danmu comments: "It's so bizarre."
【This is definitely bizarre.】
【What could Xie Ye have against Su Qingyue?】
【After voluntary team formation failed, teams will be drawn by lottery. Please, please, my treasure, don't end up with him.】
Compared to the lively and spirited young flowers of the same age, an old man with a lot of negative scandals is indeed not an appealing choice. Recognizing this, Xie Ye moved to the corner of the camera, making room for the positive characters.
Unexpectedly, in the next moment, his name was suddenly mentioned.
"I choose Brother Xie."
With amber pupils that were clean and bright under the sunlight, the young man named Gu Cong scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly. "Actually... I'm a bit of a Beauty enthusiast."
Danmu comments:
【Brother Xie is so lucky!】
【Face fanatic? Are you serious?】
【Brother Xie, congratulations on attracting another fan!】
So, of course, he had to choose the most beautiful one.
