TRMP Chapter 57

Chapter 55

In the beginning, Jiang Yifeng had fantasized that someone, unable to bear seeing him rise to fame, was using every means to hinder his progress.

But as time passed, Jiang Yifeng gradually abandoned his illusions.

After five years of not becoming famous, blaming anyone was useless.

He didn’t take Guan Shaodong’s words to heart, only chuckling and teasing, “You think so highly of me?”

“Of course.” Guan Shaodong finished speaking, then leaned in and whispered, “If you had cross-dressed as the female lead earlier, you might have become famous…”

Before he could finish, Jiang Yifeng had already jabbed an elbow into Guan Shaodong’s arm.

Guan Shaodong yelped, baring his teeth, then grumbled, “I’m giving you an idea.”

“If I cross-dress as the female lead, I’d have to drag you over to play my younger sister.”

“That won’t do, I have to play the male lead.” Guan Shaodong immediately retorted, firmly rejecting any possibility of being turned into a clay sculpture.

The mischievous Guan Shaodong stood beside Jiang Yifeng, and Gu Miao, who had originally planned to approach, ultimately retracted his steps.

He felt that he was still overthinking things.

The possibility of Jiang Yifeng becoming famous… was too small.

Playing a few supporting roles couldn’t shake his position.

Gu Miao quietly consoled himself.

He glanced at his phone and checked the online forum. A few days ago, he had a conflict with a minor celebrity over an endorsement deal. Even today, there wasn’t a single comment from the minor celebrity’s fans on their forum.

But Jiang Yifeng…

In the beginning, Gu Miao couldn’t even find Jiang Yifeng’s name when he searched. Even with recent searches, the content was pitifully scarce.

In addition, after learning from Qi Leya that Jiang Yifeng was being ostracized by the company’s higher-ups and had to rely on submitting his own resume to fight for resources, the stone in Gu Miao’s heart gradually settled down.

His emotions gradually returned to stability, and the complex feelings that had disturbed him for several days were finally relieved by self-consolation.

They stayed in the valley for a few days. Gu Miao’s scenes and Jiang Yifeng’s only had a small amount of interweaving left.

Jiang Yifeng observed Gu Miao several times. Gu Miao still looked down on him, but he was less unnatural than at the beginning.

However, Guan Shaodong was even more troublesome than Gu Miao.

That kid Guan Shaodong had a sharp tongue.

When Jiang Yifeng was filming the scene where the suicide attempts but is discovered by the male lead, he staggered forward, his clothes tattered, his expression dazed. Step by step, he stumbled to the riverbank and fell into the water on his side.

He let the river water wash over his face, and large patches of blood flowed from his front and back, soaking the soil and water beneath him.

The male lead, carrying a bamboo basket, had come out to gather herbs, but he saw someone by the lake from afar.

Smiling, he passed by the lake, intending to help someone make a grave, but he accidentally saw the face soaked in the water.

The male lead’s expression stiffened. He threw down the bamboo basket and rushed over to pick up the person.

He put Jiang Yifeng on the ground, and the first scene ended.

Zhao Wenjun had already yelled “Cut!” when Guan Shaodong lowered his head and smiled foolishly. “You think we should just do CPR in the next scene?”

“I guess you don’t want to film serious dramas anymore.”

Jiang Yifeng opened his eyes.

He had kept his head in the water while filming, and even though he had tried to be careful, he still choked on some water.

The corners of Jiang Yifeng’s eyes were red, and the tip of his nose was also red from the water.

Guan Shaodong looked at Jiang Yifeng’s long hair sticking to his face and his black clothes hugging his figure, and couldn’t help but complain, “Your long hair really doesn’t make you look like a man.”

After speaking, he tugged at his own hair. “Does my long hair make me look like a man because I’m ugly?”

That one sentence extinguished the anger that had just arisen in Jiang Yifeng.

He grunted and lay back down on the ground.

The makeup artist helped Jiang Yifeng reapply his makeup and specially gave Jiang Yifeng a water bag to hold in his mouth.

Zhao Wenjun announced loudly, “Guan Shaodong, when you rescue him later, press directly on his chest. Don’t pull any funny business.”

“How did you know I wanted to pull funny business!” Guan Shaodong looked terrified.

Everyone around laughed.

Jiang Yifeng also laughed.

He lowered his voice and told Guan Shaodong to behave himself.

“What’s wrong, afraid your boyfriend will be jealous of me? Have you two kissed yet?” Guan Shaodong deliberately lowered his voice.

“Get lost.” Jiang Yifeng replied silently.

“Looks like not. You guys are just doing platonic love.”

Guan Shaodong’s mouth was so annoying that Jiang Yifeng wanted to open his eyes and punch him.

He was hitting him where it hurt!

When the next scene was filmed, Guan Shaodong had to hold Jiang Yifeng in his arms after he woke up.

He pressed down hard a few times. Jiang Yifeng bit through the water bag in his mouth and spat out the water, waking up from a coughing fit and being hugged tightly by Guan Shaodong.

There was no dialogue in this part, which meant they could say anything they wanted.

Jiang Yifeng didn’t say anything. He just secretly pinched Guan Shaodong when he hugged him.

Guan Shaodong winced in pain.

The side shot made the two of them look exceptionally beautiful.

After the two finished filming this scene, Guan Shaodong came to settle the score with Jiang Yifeng. “Was it just because I said one sentence about you and your boyfriend?”

“It’s not like I don’t want to? I just haven’t found the time to meet him yet.” Jiang Yifeng said angrily.

Guan Shaodong shut his mouth.

After they finished filming and were on the way back in the car, Jiang Yifeng still felt gloomy.

He wanted to see Xie Jingshen even more.

Human desires are always insatiable.

The production team gave several actors two days off because they needed to prepare the subsequent sets and filming.

Jiang Yifeng packed a few clothes in his hotel and prepared to go home, but before leaving, Jiang Yifeng specially contacted Xie Jingshen.

Perhaps Guan Shaodong’s words had stimulated him, Jiang Yifeng’s tone was particularly dejected.

“I can’t even see you.” Jiang Yifeng’s eyelashes drooped slightly, his eyes looking pitiful, and that hoarse, pitiful voice immediately softened Xie Jingshen’s heart.

“There’s always a way… once we find more anchor points.”

Xie Jingshen tapped in the air, “Two points can draw countless lines, three points can only draw one plane. If there are more and more points… then there will only be one possibility.”

Jiang Yifeng was stunned for a moment.

He clenched his fist and nodded.

Xie Jingshen smiled.

Before he could say anything else, the system suddenly began to vibrate violently.

Xie Jingshen was stunned.

[Detected a monitoring loophole – touching the core of the [Past] chapter.]

Xie Jingshen: “?”

Xie Jingshen didn’t know what was happening. He subconsciously clicked on the center of the vibration on his phone and suddenly felt a slight pain in his finger.

It felt as if an electric current was passing through the tip of his finger. Xie Jingshen felt his breathing stop.

The next second, his chest vibrated violently. Xie Jingshen subconsciously grabbed the doll next to him, and the game interface changed drastically, as if some unpredictable error had really occurred.

Xie Jingshen subconsciously used his palm to shield his cheek. The sensation between his palms became increasingly strange.

The furry doll gradually became scalding hot.

The area his palm touched gradually became hotter and hotter, and his fingers were slowly being burned, but Xie Jingshen didn’t let go.

The dizzy feeling made his vision go black. The next second, he heard Jiang Yifeng’s voice.

But that voice was strange, as if it was right next to his ear.

The temperature under his palm became increasingly gentle and delicate. He opened his eyes and found that he seemed…

Xie Jingshen took a deep breath.

He saw Jiang Yifeng in front of him, staring at him with a surprised and astonished expression. The environment in front of him was exactly the same as what he saw in the camera.

And Jiang Yifeng himself was even more beautiful and stunning than he looked through a layer of clouds.

His palm was on Jiang Yifeng’s waist, exactly the same as when he was holding the doll.

Jiang Yifeng awkwardly twisted his waist. He felt that Xie Jingshen was holding him too tightly.

Just now, the system had urgently told him that there was a malfunction and that Xie Jingshen was being rewarded with 48 hours to appear in his world.

Before Jiang Yifeng could react, he felt a darkness in front of him, and a pair of hands gradually materialized and clenched around his waist.

That hand tightly gripped his side.

Even if it was only for a moment, Jiang Yifeng froze.

It took him a while before his vision gradually returned to normal.

And Xie Jingshen was standing next to him, seemingly still recovering.

Xie Jingshen felt his breath catch in his throat.

His mind was blank.

Xie Jingshen leaned forward slightly, took a deep breath, and stared intently into Jiang Yifeng’s eyes.

There was no air conditioning in the room, but Xie Jingshen felt incredibly hot. He was only wearing a thin suit, which was permeated with coolness in the early spring evening, but his breath was scorching, and his eyes were also burning his retina with that face.

He realized for the first time why someone would forget to breathe when they suddenly got something they had dreamed of.

It was a feeling of being so careful that he almost didn’t dare to touch it. Xie Jingshen’s palm gently touched Jiang Yifeng’s cheek. He subconsciously leaned down, and Jiang Yifeng was brought into Xie Jingshen’s arms.

The face in front of him gradually enlarged.

Jiang Yifeng’s heart tightened. The next second, he also tiptoed and leaned towards Xie Jingshen.

The gradually enlarging face made Jiang Yifeng more and more nervous.

“—”

Xie Jingshen suddenly let go, his entire body tilted to one side, and he sneezed loudly under Jiang Yifeng’s gaze.

Jiang Yifeng: “…”

He was like a little rabbit that had just been startled, jumping out of Xie Jingshen’s arms, pulling a tissue from the head of the bed and handing it to Xie Jingshen, but turning his head away, not daring to look at him.

Xie Jingshen looked even better and more dazzling than he did in the camera.

But also a bit silly.

Jiang Yifeng thought silently.

Jiang Yifeng found his down jacket for Xie Jingshen. After Xie Jingshen put it on, he only felt that it was too small. The sleeves and the whole clothes were very tight, and even the zipper couldn’t be closed.

He pitifully gripped the clothes with his hands and looked at Jiang Yifeng.

“I don’t know how I just—”

“The system said it was a glitch compensation. We have 48 hours together.” Jiang Yifeng made a number gesture, his eyes full of stars. “Xie Jingshen, we can be together for a whole 48 hours.”

They had a whole 48 hours to be together, to hug, to date, to be like an ordinary couple…

The original gloom was filled with anticipation. Jiang Yifeng had all sorts of ideas in his head, and his eyes were lit up with stars.

He reached out to grab Xie Jingshen’s hand, but recoiled as if he had been burned.

Jiang Yifeng looked at Xie Jingshen cautiously.

After meeting him, he was always afraid that Xie Jingshen would think he wasn’t demure enough.

But he really wanted to hold Xie Jingshen’s hand – to see what his palm felt like, whether it was as warm as when he stroked him.

“My hands are so cold.” Xie Jingshen grabbed Jiang Yifeng’s palm and held his entire hand tightly in his palm. “Can you help me warm my hands?”

The author has something to say:

CEO Xie: What the hell is this system glitch? Garbage game.

CEO Xie: Garbage game is good, it can have more glitches.
