QWAPMP Chapter 27
by VolareReturning to the hotel, just as the three people were about to part ways to their respective rooms, Yan Ye suddenly seemed to remember something and spoke to the slowly departing figure, “Song Xi, didn’t you say on the phone that you had something to tell me?”
Song Xi, “…” Oh heavens! Could anyone tell him if Mr. Yan had heard what he and Brother Qiao said just now?
Song Xi braced himself, and under Qiao Xin’s concerned gaze, softly hummed in agreement.
Yan Ye smiled, “I’m free right now. If you have something to tell me, come to my room!”
Seeing his bewildered and flustered face, Yan Ye deliberately didn’t continue, but pressed the elevator floor first, just waiting for Song Xi to voluntarily enter.
Qiao Xin realized something was off about that statement. He leaned next to Song Xi and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, “Do you need me to go with you?”
Mr. Yan’s words sounded strange. Could he be trying to proposition Song Xi?
Although Qiao Xin wanted Song Xi to rely on Mr. Yan, he didn’t want Song Xi to be taken advantage of.
Song Xi didn’t think as much as Qiao Xin. He only thought that Brother Qiao wanted to accompany him because he was worried about him being afraid of Yan Ye, so he immediately shook his head and replied softly, “I’ll go by myself.”
The elevator door was about to close. Yan Ye glanced at the person who had made up his mind and raised his hand to press the pause button, “You don’t need to be nervous, I don’t eat people.”
Song Xi nodded, his body unconsciously leaning towards the innermost corner of the elevator.
Yan Ye only needed to lower his head slightly to see a pair of hands with nowhere to rest, and those long legs that kept inching inward.
Song Xi was shorter than the male lead Song Muhan in height, but in an elevator with only two people, no matter how much he hid in the corner, it was hard to ignore his presence.
Yan Ye looked up at the floor display on the elevator screen, and inadvertently glanced at the clean elevator door that was like a mirror, clearly seeing the faint blush on Song Xi’s face.
He seemed to be thinking about something, his lips pursed tightly, his eyebrows furrowed several times. When he relaxed his furrowed brow, Song Xi happened to look up, his tangled and probing gaze not having time to retract, meeting Yan Ye’s eyes, who had been observing him.
Song Xi looked like he had been startled, his eyes wide, his face showing a startled expression.
His every move, every startle, could almost be made into several emoji packs.
The male supporting character, who hadn’t yet done anything malicious, made it hard for Yan Ye to dislike him. At least for now, he didn’t dislike him, and helping him wouldn’t hurt.
“No need to be nervous, you can be as casual as that night,” Yan Ye deliberately reminded him.
As expected, Song Xi’s awkward expression completely vanished, replaced by a bit of panic.
He wasn’t the type of person who would black out when drunk. On the contrary, he remembered everything clearly the next morning.
Song Xi had wanted to pretend nothing had happened, but as soon as his eyes met Yan Ye’s smiling ones, his face felt hot.
The elevator door opened, and the outside air rushed into the small space. Song Xi secretly took a deep breath and followed Yan Ye out.
After entering the room, Song Xi still seemed a bit reserved. He stood awkwardly by the sofa until Yan Ye spoke, motioning him to sit down, then Song Xi sat down.
Yan Ye went to the refrigerator to get him a bottle of water and opened it.
He had seen Song Xi’s little gesture of licking his lips several times through the mirror-like elevator door just now.
He was probably thirsty!
“Thank you, Mr. Yan!” Song Xi quickly thanked him.
This attitude made it hard to believe he was the same Song Xi Yan Ye had met for the first time. Too well-behaved!
Song Xi drank the water rather quickly, tilting his head back and gulping several times. A few drops of water slowly trickled from the corner of his mouth, flowing down his fair, sexy Adam’s apple and into his shirt.
Yan Ye pulled a tissue for him and said casually, “You said on the phone you had something to tell me? What is it?”
“Cough cough…” Song Xi hadn’t even received the tissue when he choked on the water. He quickly grabbed the tissue, wiped himself, and then quickly apologized, “Sorry, I…”
“No rush, you can tell me after you finish drinking the water!” Yan Ye chuckled casually, his body relaxing into the sofa, his enviable long legs crossed leisurely.
The more he was like this, the more pressure Song Xi felt.
The water in the glass was empty, he had finished it. Song Xi braced himself and spoke, “I want to ask Mr. Yan something.”
“What is it?” Yan Ye said calmly, pretending not to know. Since he had heard Song Xi’s conversation with Qiao Xin, he could probably guess what Song Xi wanted to ask.
Song Xi’s mouth opened and closed. After preparing his words, he finally mustered up the courage, “I heard that Baosen’s endorser hasn’t been decided yet?”
As long as it wasn’t officially announced, no matter what Chu Hui and that Mr. Zhu said, things could still change.
After Song Xi said this, Yan Ye’s expression was noticeably more serious than before. Clearly, this was his attitude towards work.
Song Xi swallowed, just not knowing if Mr. Yan would be the kind of person who handles things strictly according to procedure!
“Not yet. Currently, the company is selecting a suitable person. What’s wrong?” Yan Ye asked seriously.
Song Xi wanted to recommend himself, “Do you think I could…”
His words were instantly interrupted by Yan Ye, “Besides having good skin condition, Baosen’s endorser also needs a certain status. And you are not qualified for that yet.”
The latter sentence was an undeniable fact. If Song Xi were officially announced as the endorser now, leaving aside what the company would do, Song Xi would definitely be torn to shreds by the fans of several other artists.
This was also why Yan Ye didn’t want to tell him now that he had already decided on him for the Baosen endorsement in his heart.
A hint of disappointment flashed in Song Xi’s eyes, but thinking of Chu Hui’s smug look, his eyes flickered with unwillingness. He suddenly stood up and walked in front of Yan Ye.
“Mr. Yan, look, my skin is very good. Doesn’t endorsing Baosen require skin like mine, so flawless it seems breakable?”
Song Xi automatically ignored the latter part of that sentence. When he acted shamelessly, even he admired himself.
To let Yan Ye see his skin condition clearly, Song Xi leaned his face very close to Yan Ye, his hot breath inadvertently spraying on his face.
His jade-like skin glowed with a healthy redness, and it was indeed as good as Song Xi said, but this was far from enough!
Yan Ye’s dark eyes lingered on that face for two more seconds. The familiar face in his memory overlapped with Song Xi’s face, and they were surprisingly similar.
He was lost in thought for a rare moment. Song Xi became anxious and grabbed his hand to touch his face, “If you don’t believe me, you can touch it. My skin is really good, better than other artists.”
This was one of his few advantages, and he had to seize the opportunity to make good use of it.
A dark red glint flashed in Yan Ye’s black eyes. He withdrew his hand from Song Xi’s face, “You really want this endorsement?”
Two similar faces appearing in different worlds, was this a coincidence?
Yan Ye stared at Song Xi with a seriousness he had never shown before in this world.
The warm palm disappeared from his face. Song Xi felt an unspeakable feeling of discomfort, “I want it.” He nodded honestly.
Yan Ye said in a business-like manner, “With your current status, it’s not possible yet!”
Visibly, Mr. Yan’s attitude had softened a bit compared to before, at least changing from “not qualified” to “not possible”.
Song Xi also gradually became less nervous, “I know, but the drama I’m currently filming, once it airs, my position in the entertainment industry will be different from now.”
This was a drama that anyone who had read the plot could guess would be a hit. Although Song Xi was only the second male lead, his role was also very important, and he would definitely gain some popularity from it.
Coupled with the dating reality show that would create buzz for him, it was only a matter of time before Song Xi became popular.
He just didn’t know about the latter part.
“Mr. Yan, Lexing is your company now, and I am your artist. It’s better to give such a good thing to someone within the family than anyone else.” Song Xi started to use twisted logic.
Mr. Yan looked at him amusingly, “Don’t talk about those useless things…” Halfway through his sentence, he saw Song Xi’s face fall.
“If you can guarantee that after this drama is filmed and aired, your fame and popularity will only increase, the Baosen endorser contract can be signed with you,” Yan Ye said lightly.
And just this sentence was enough to cause Song Xi’s emotions to swing wildly, his face unable to hide his ecstatic expression.
“Mr. Yan, are you serious?” Can he really wait for him to finish filming the drama and for it to air? He won’t go back on his word, thinking it’s too long to wait?
“Yes, serious!” Yan Ye nodded, his emotions influenced by the person in front of him, a slight curve appearing on his lips.
A huge surprise struck. Song Xi suddenly stood up, “Thank you, Mr. Yan, for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely become popular, don’t worry!”
As long as he becomes popular, as long as he is famous, he can endorse Baosen!
Mr. Yan reminded him, “There’s one more thing, reputation. The company will not use artists with blemishes.”
He hoped that with this, the malicious male supporting character wouldn’t keep trying to drug people.
Song Xi smiled and promised, returning with a very joyful mood.
After the person left, Yan Ye went to the refrigerator again and took out a bottle of red wine and some ice.
The thick, blood-colored red wine was like the blood in the previous world that had almost made him lose his mind.
The little wolf cub’s blood had an irresistible magic to him. Sipping it slowly was addictive, making him crave more, yet unwilling to devour it completely.
Back in his room, Song Xi’s forced calm expression finally broke where no one could see him. He threw himself onto the soft big bed, rolling around while hugging a pillow.
“Ahhh!” Song Xi smiled foolishly. Although the contract hadn’t been signed yet, Mr. Yan had agreed, so he wouldn’t go back on his word, right?
In the middle of the night, Song Xi was still too excited to sleep. He decided to find someone to share this news with. He sat up from the bed, picked up his phone, and called his manager.
It was two o’clock in the morning. Qiao Xin was already asleep. The phone rang several times before being answered.
A sleepy voice came through, “Hello…”
“Brother Qiao, I have great news to tell you!” Song Xi said excitedly, waiting for the person on the other end to ask what the good news was.
There was two seconds of silence on the other end. Qiao Xin yawned, “My little ancestor, do you know what time it is?”
Two o’clock was when he was sleeping the soundest!
Song Xi glanced at the time and chuckled dryly, “Well, never mind then, I’ll tell you tomorrow!” He still didn’t want Brother Qiao to be so excited that he couldn’t sleep like him.
“Never mind, you tell me what the good news is first!”
Seeing that the call hadn’t been hung up, Song Xi’s lips curved into a smile, “Brother Qiao, I’ve gotten the Baosen endorsement from Mr. Yan!”
“What did you say?” Qiao Xin was dozing off, but he immediately perked up upon hearing “Baosen endorser”. “You said you got the Baosen endorsement?”
Mr. Yan really gave it to their Song Xi? That fast?
Song Xi hummed his affirmation several times. Soon, he heard a crash.
“Brother Qiao, what happened!”
Using both hands, Qiao Xin crawled out from under the bed, picked up his phone, his voice excited, “I’m fine, never mind that, I’m coming over to see you right away!”
Before Song Xi could say anything, the call was hung up. Immediately after, someone knocked on his door.
Opening the door, Qiao Xin looked excited. He immediately slipped into the room, closed the door, and put his hands on Song Xi’s shoulders, “Everything you just told me is true?”
“Tr… true!”
Qiao Xin’s eyes gleamed, and his grip unconsciously tightened, “Song Xi, you’re going to be popular, we’re finally going to be popular!”
Mr. Yan is willing to give Song Xi the Baosen endorsement. Does this mean the company is willing to promote him heavily?
