TRMP Chapter 7
by VolareJiang Yifeng recited his lines while drinking water, reading them over and over like a child.
And Xie Jingshen, amidst the sound of the lines, calmly looked at the project proposal.
He occasionally cast his gaze towards Jiang Yifeng on the screen. Sometimes, Jiang Yifeng sat cross-legged on the carpet by the bed, and sometimes he leaned against the table, propping up his cheek. His gaze was focused, his expression gentle, and all his attention was on the pages of the book in his hands.
The game continued as always.
And Jiang Yifeng was earnestly doing his own thing, a small arrow symbol even appearing above his head—【Your lover is working~】
Xie Jingshen tapped the screen with his finger, but the only option that appeared on the screen was to tease him.
Xie Jingshen clicked the button, and Jiang Yifeng on the other side suddenly felt someone touching his chin.
His eyes widened instantly.
His cat-like, round eyes looked up towards the white frame. Xie Jingshen, for some reason, retracted his finger and sat up straight, intending to play dead.
Jiang Yifeng almost thought it was his imagination.
Until he heard Xie Jingshen’s laughter from his ear, Jiang Yifeng belatedly realized that it was indeed the other party who had touched his chin!
Jiang Yifeng: !!!
He was in shock, while Xie Jingshen sat upright, appearing exceptionally focused.
However, his finger flicked the screen again, and Jiang Yifeng once again felt a hand touch his hair.
Jiang Yifeng felt that this was not an illusion!
It was Xie Jingshen who was doing it!
Jiang Yifeng looked straight at Xie Jingshen, whose hand was clenched into a fist and held to his lips as he coughed lightly.
“Drink some water, your throat is getting hoarse.” Xie Jingshen’s expression was unusually serious.
What he didn’t know was that Jiang Yifeng couldn’t see Xie Jingshen’s face—after all, CEO Xie still hadn’t agreed to allow the phone to use the camera.
So, Jiang Yifeng, feeling the touch of a hand on the top of his head, felt particularly shocked.
——Xie Jingshen is a rogue!
He picked up his water glass and took a sip, moistening his throat before lifting the quilt and shrinking onto the bed. “Are you still at the office?”
“Yes.” Xie Jingshen interlaced his fingers. “There’s still some work I haven’t finished.”
“Didn’t you tell me to go to bed at ten o’clock?” Jiang Yifeng lowered his eyes.
Xie Jingshen paused.
【Because you don’t intend to keep your promise with your lover.】
【Your lover is angry.】
The words that popped up on the system made Xie Jingshen feel puzzled.
Clearly…
Has artificial intelligence become this advanced?
He still wanted to poke Jiang Yifeng again.
However, a rejection sign appeared on the screen, along with a status message above Jiang Yifeng’s head: 【Your lover is angry.】
Xie Jingshen felt at a loss.
He had never coaxed anyone before.
Xie Jingshen’s life was almost entirely filled with work. Being able to squeeze into the top spot on the rich list at such a young age meant that his achievements were directly proportional to his busyness—in addition to the family’s accumulation, Xie Jingshen’s own abilities were not to be underestimated.
His life had been so smooth that he had forgotten how to coax people.
Xie Jingshen silently looked at the sulky Jiang Yifeng in the camera, and then glanced at the time.
It was approaching nine thirty.
If he rushed back now, he could probably go to bed before ten o’clock.
But for a paper lover…
Xie Jingshen felt absurd for a moment.
When the white, glowing frame flickered, Jiang Yifeng thought that Xie Jingshen had finally had enough.
“Someone who doesn’t keep their promises.” Jiang Yifeng muttered, hugging his legs with one arm, his chin resting lightly on his knees.
He lowered his eyes and continued to recite his lines.
The system felt that something was not quite right.
Weren’t they still in the stage of tentatively trying to get the big boss to accept them?
How did it feel like a girlfriend with deep affection was having a tantrum?
Jiang Yifeng watched the time creep closer to ten o’clock, and he had memorized half the script by heart. He put down the script, went to the bathroom for a shower, steamed his cheeks slightly red, and jumped onto the bed in a few steps.
The script was placed aside, messy hair slightly covering his face, his eyelashes trembling, his eyelids drooping.
The fatigue of sleepiness swept through his nerves. Jiang Yifeng curled up in the sheets. One of his hands reached out from the quilt, groping around, wanting to turn off the lights and go to sleep, but before his fingers touched the switch, a small white frame suddenly popped up in front of him.
Jiang Yifeng was startled awake, and in the next second, he looked up in surprise—Xie Jingshen’s cheeks were covered in white mist, his appearance not very clear, but the open dark collar revealed his knotted muscles, and a section of his arm extending from under the bathrobe was firm and strong.
He held the phone in one hand, leaning back slightly, and from the angle of the white frame, the lower part could not be seen.
Jiang Yifeng was stunned for a moment, before averting his gaze and glancing aside with an unusually conflicted expression.
“Don’t look away, are you still angry?” Xie Jingshen sighed helplessly. “I rushed home, I’ll do the work tomorrow… I’ll sleep with you.”
Jiang Yifeng’s eyes instantly fell on Xie Jingshen’s chest muscles.
“Huh?”
“Now I’m keeping my promise with you, so, look at me.”
In Xie Jingshen’s gentle, magnetic voice, Jiang Yifeng had only one thought.
——I can’t even see your face, how am I supposed to look at you!
His gaze remained fixed on Xie Jingshen’s chest muscles for a long time until Xie Jingshen’s goodnight reached his ears, and he smiled sweetly, his eyes curving.
“Good night, see you tomorrow.”
The white frame disappeared, and Jiang Yifeng fell into the soft bedding.
“System, he seems to have taken my words to heart?”
Jiang Yifeng’s tone rose.
“Yeah.” The system was silent for a long time.
After all, the system could see the situation on Xie Jingshen’s side.
How could that big boss, who was rumored to have a damaged emotional system and possibly a problem with his emotional module…
They don’t seem to have confirmed their relationship with each other, right?
Jiang Yifeng got up early the next morning. He changed into his costume and put on his makeup early.
In the scenes being filmed today, he had to act completely unaware in the morning, teasing the male lead with flirtatious words, and in the afternoon, he had to play the jealous cannon fodder who already understood the male lead’s feelings for the female lead, playing tricks on Su Xiaoyu.
Due to the influence of stereotypes, the director specially asked the makeup artist to give him a rather gaudy makeup, and added a thin layer of red gauze over the ordinary inner layer.
Looking at his outfit, Jiang Yifeng felt that he might not be playing the male lead’s admirer, but someone who worked in a brothel.
Zhao Jinming had the assistant director take Jiang Yifeng through the scenes twice to make sure he remembered the blocking, before calling the other extras and supporting actors to the stage one by one.
Chen Ruiyang arrived a little early today, and he glanced at Jiang Yifeng when he walked onto the set.
Jiang Yifeng’s intuition told him to stay away, so he carried his small bench, placed the script on his lap, and let his long hair fall on the side of his face, his eyes lowered to the script.
He waited for filming as usual.
However, the internet was not so ordinary today.
When the station sister in charge of professional on-set promotion for “Mu Yu Ge” placed the pictures of the day on her homepage, fans of the various leading and supporting actors rushed to the comments, unanimously praising the beautiful brothers and sisters of the day.
However, soon someone realized that today’s pictures seemed to have a few more little beauties.
“Can someone introduce the handsome guy in picture 4? I flipped through the cast list and didn’t see his name.”
“Baby P’s pictures are really attentive, picture 4 looks so good, will you really not be scolded for fraud when it’s released?”
“Picture 4 is giving off ‘crushing’ vibes.”
“Looking at the makeup, he should be a blackened villain, right?”
The station sister who posted the pictures was in contact with the crew, and the on-set pictures were originally released according to the crew’s promotional strategy, and then cooperated with the crew’s publicity to get on the hot search list.
When the crew bought a high-ranking hot search, everyone who clicked into the homepage immediately noticed the top hot blog, and the hot comments in it were praising the good looks of Picture 4.
More and more people poured in, marketing accounts jointly forwarded the picture, and the few pictures spread wider and wider, until finally someone noticed the identity of Picture 4.
“Isn’t this the body double that caused a lot of noise some time ago?”
“He’s not a body double at all, okay? The little actor is using my sister to hype the body double thing, how shameless!”
“Why is it that shameless man, a man hyping up ‘crushing’ is really treating himself like a woman?”
The more people there were, the more fierce the quarrel became.
As a popular traffic flower that recently exploded, Su Xiaoyu’s fans and haters were all full of fighting power.
The two sides came and went, arguing endlessly.
As the center of public opinion, Jiang Yifeng had just left the set when he was told by Luo Qi in a phone call that he was on fire, the negative kind.
“I suspect that the crew did it on purpose, in a few days they should release the scenes of you filming on the set and some of the script content.” Luo Qi kindly took the time to remind Jiang Yifeng: “In the future, you should spend less time online, the people online are more harsh with their insults…”
Luo Qi was very euphemistic, but Jiang Yifeng immediately knew what was going on.
“I didn’t expect that after five years of hard work, I didn’t become popular, but I became popular by being slandered.” Jiang Yifeng couldn’t help but sigh, and Luo Qi, hearing the unchanging voice on the other end, knew that Jiang Yifeng didn’t take such a small matter to heart.
After all, he had gone through so many storms back then.
Luo Qi sighed, and couldn’t help but sigh at Jiang Yifeng’s many twists and turns.
And Jiang Yifeng, hearing his voice, instead comforted Luo Qi: “It’s okay, I’m getting so much money for the film… How many years would I have to be an extra to earn this much money, and it includes food and lodging, so I’ll just consider the film pay to be compensation for my mental distress.”
He didn’t notice a white, transparent frame floating behind him as he spoke.
Xie Jingshen had been busy all day, his mind filled with the image of Jiang Yifeng raising the corners of his mouth and saying “See you tomorrow” to him last night.
Those curved eyes, full of stars, seemed to hide endless smiles.
It wasn’t until the end of the afternoon that Xie Jingshen tidied his hair, flipped open his phone, and lightly clicked on that pink APP.
The scene of Jiang Yifeng on the phone instantly appeared on the screen, that shocking beauty instantly crashing into his retina, and he could clearly hear the voice of the person talking to Jiang Yifeng.
His lover seems to have encountered some trouble?
