Chapter 20

Li Zixi looked at Yu You in front and thought, such a smart person, for so many years, why hasn't he blown up? She believes, as she had thought before, he would blow up someday. After all, there's beauty, there's acting skills and again, smart.

Yu You indeed is a smart person with *accumulated wisdom. The reason why he is not popular, just like what Li Zixi guessed before, there is no big hit work. More importantly, he has his own bottom line.

[*Accumulate – although this is the used term, the direct translation of 厚积薄发 is thick accumulation thin hair. The meaning of hòu jī bó fā can be divided into two: 1) 厚积, to save a lot and; 2) 薄发, to release slowly. This idiom could be explained as 'things can only be done well with well preparation'.]

Although he knew that after doing some things, he could make himself famous, he is not willing to do it. He would rather stay neither dull nor hot in the entertainment industry, free to quietly do things he likes to do. He doesn't want to be hot *all over China right away by doing some dirty trade.

[*All over China - 大江南北 is an idiom which translates to both sides of the Yangtze River. Since the river runs along the middle of the country, it is pretty much considered to be dividing the north and south of China.]

Have to say, his thoughts, really like that of senior cadres'. However, senior cadres also have spring.

Admittedly, Yu You is a smart person in the circle. In that way, others, don't know if some people are real smart, self-smart, or it could be too smart.

As soon as Wu Xinran got off the plane, she was immediately surrounded by fans and reporters at the airport.

"Wu Xinran, it was said that you are going to shoot a MV for Ye Handong's new song. Is this matter true?"

"Xinran, why did Young Master Ye choose you as the female lead of the MV? Did you know each other before?"

"Baby Ran, you are so beautiful today."

"Wu Xinran, I heard that you released Director Jin Cheng's pigeon. Is this true?"

Wu Xinran was wearing a smile as she walks. Hearing this, she took off her glasses. Looking at the reporter, she gently explained: "Oh, no, don't say such words. I have never seen Director Jin Cheng's pigeon!"

After speaking, Wu Xinran strode away wearing sunglasses. And the reporter who asked the question stood there with black lines on his face. In the end, did she hear and understand, or deliberately did not understand, or really did not understand?

Soon, this interview video of Wu Xinran immediately climbed on Weibo's hot search.

"Ah, ah, ah, Baby Ran is so beautiful today, I want to kneel and lick. (Drool)"

"Baby Ran and Young Master Ye to shoot a MV? Our family's Baby Ran is great. (Like)"

"Baby Ran and Young Master Ye *match faces. (Obsessed)"

[*match faces – a good match; looks good together]

"Indeed, a graduate of a foreign key university, super high *double quotient. No need to say. (Smiling proudly)"

[*double quotient – refers to IQ (intelligence quotient) and EQ (emotional quotient)]

"Baby Ran's answer, I give full marks. Can be included in the top ten answers of the year. (Witty)"

......

The above were Wu Xinran's fans' comments, supporting everything about idols. No need to explain. Of course, there were also a few unharmonious voices appearing.

"Take Young Master Ye away, we won't make an engagement! (Goodbye)"

The reply below was: "Hehe, you don't make an engagement, but your Young Master Ye has already made an engagement, ah."

"Wu Xinran is uncultured, Wu Xinran is uncultured, Wu Xinran is uncultured. (Cuss)"

The replies below were: "There is a mental retardation here." "The *landlord has been mentally retarded for many years. Quickly get a treatment." "The landlord is illiterate, a *SB" "Everyone, don't bother with the *sunspot, the more you reply, the happier she will be."

[*landlord – OP (original poster). They were called landlord because the topics and the comments in the forum look like buildings]

[*SB – abbr. for 傻屄's pinyin, shǎ bī. Shǎ means stupid and bī refers to the modern English alphabet's B which, according to them resembles the female vulva. So, literally, it means stupid cunt or stupid bitch.]

[*sunspot – an internet slang for anti-fans that leave malicious comments]

"Am I the only person who feels that Wu Xinran didn't understand the reporter's question? (Skeptic)"

The replies below were: "You are indeed the only person." "Upstairs is too polite. It's possible that the landlord is not a person but a pig"

The next day, a lot of articles began to appear on major websites with the titles "Ranking This Year's Top Ten Best Answers to Reporters' Questions", "List of Entertainment Circle's Double Quotient Online Female Artists", and "The Relationship of Wu Xinran and Ye Handong".

****************

The new song has a few tones that has not been adjusted yet, and Young Master Ye, who feels that the lyrics are not quite perfect, went out in an irritated mood. Walking out of the dessert shop wearing a face mask, glasses, and carrying a box of chocolate cake on his hand, the reporters outside blocked his way.

"Young Master Ye, may I ask, will you really shoot the MV with Wu Xinran?"

"Young Master Ye, may I ask, what's the relationship between you and Wu Xinran? Why would she star in your MV?"

"Young Master Ye, in order to make a MV with you, it was said that Wu Xinran pushed Director Jin's drama. Do you know about this?"

Ye Handong looked at the reporters and growing number of fans in front of him, frowning tightly, and feeling more irritated!

He angrily picked up the nearest microphone and said one sentence...

"Who is Wu Xinran?"

It's not strange that Ye Handong didn't remember Wu Xinran's name. He didn't pay much attention to gossips and rarely use social media. Previously, he also studied at a foreign university's music conservatory. He had just returned home not long ago and knew very little about domestic celebrities. He may still know a few celebrities of the previous generation. The celebrities of the new generation, he thinks that as time goes by, everyone looks the same. In his eyes, it is no different from the passersby.

Of course, people who have talent in singing are a little different in his eyes. Other than that, he really doesn't remember a few people.

Although his agent, Guo Kai, mentioned Wu Xinran to him before, he was tuning that day and didn't care at all at what he said on the phone.

Moreover, in his opinion, the most important procedure for a song is to write the song and sing it. The song has already been written long ago and the recording is done. The tasks had been completed. The MV is really not that important, he even almost forgot that he has to shoot a MV for his song.

The lethality of Ye Handong's words was still very great. When these words came out, the audience became silent.

A few seconds later, the reporter closest to Ye Handong reacted, took over the microphone that Ye Handong handed back and tremblingly said: "Do you really not know Wu Xinran? But it was said that she was going to shoot your title track, 《The Farthest Distance》, MV. Is this news fake?"

The reporter's voice finally brought everyone back to reality. Everyone held their breath in anticipation and prepared to listen to Ye Handong's next answer.

"《The Farthest Distance》MV is going to be filmed?" Ye Handong asked, looking at the reporter in confusion.

The little reporter held Ye Handong's puzzled eyes, he feels like there were *ten thousand alpacas whizzing by. My Young Master Ye, ah, you are the one who's going to shoot the MV, not me. How could I know whether it will be filmed or not, ah. If you don't know, then even more so I don't know, ah.

[*ten thousand alpacas whizzing by – there's a strong dissatisfaction but cannot be voiced out]

Not hearing a confirmation reply from the reporter, Ye Handong was not satisfied. He touched his chin and thought about it for a while and said, "Oh, there seems to be such a thing. Yes, 《The Farthest Distance》MV is going to be filmed. "

The reporters who heard the answer almost vomited blood. Young Master Ye, you are so cute. Does your mother know?

Whether his mother know, we don't have any idea. But his fans know now.

They started screaming, "Aaaahhh aaaahhh". So cute, don't you think so? They were still worried about their idol before, Wu Xinran will *rub heat by shooting with their idol. Turns out that their family's idol didn't know Wu Xinran at all, ah. They were so happy. What's even happier, their idol turns out to be such a person in private!

[*rub heat – use someone's popularity to help increase attention towards their way; close to 'ride someone's coat tail']

They were cheated by how he was packaged before, thinking their idol is a talented, cold, and unapproachable person. Did not expect this to be not the case. Their idol is like an *otaku! Doesn't mind about the entertainment industry, confused about his own affairs, and seems to understand but not understand at all. It's simply cute that it melted their girlish hearts, can't deny it!

[*otaku – literal translation is 'dead house'; refers to someone who dislikes going out and prefers staying indoors]

Moreover, he even went to the dessert shop alone to purchase chocolate-flavored cake!

A fan yelled boldly: "Young Master Ye, you are so cute! I love you so much, ah!"

"En, I got it." Ye Handong nodded. But cute? What do you mean? Does she want to say that he is awesome? It must be, he is indeed a very awesome person. This might be a fan who do not speak standard Mandarin.

[The word cute and fierce (could also be brave or awesome?) sounds almost the same. 萌 (cute) is pronounced as méng and 猛 (fierce) is pronounced as měng. For this reason, Handong got confused and thought the fan's standard Mandarin vocabulary is poor.]

Fans boldly asked again: "Young Master Ye, for whom did you buy your chocolate cake, ah?" "Will you eat it yourself or your girlfriend will eat it, ah?"

Girlfriend? Is he still a single dog?

"Of course, I bought this for myself." Does he seem to be so idle, buying cake for others to eat. Eating the cake that he personally bought, are you not afraid of indigestion?

Fans immediately felt relieved when they heard this. An idol who loves to eat desserts and also girlfriendless is really handsome, ah.

It all started when a small fan saw the suspected Young Master Ye in the dessert shop. At once, someone opened a live broadcast and what Ye Handong did had been recorded throughout.

Twenty minutes later, Guo Kai finally arrived with bodyguards. He pushed the crowd aside and saw an intact Ye Handong standing in front of his own eyes. About to cry out.

Ye Handong glanced at him coldly and Guo Kai almost knelt down with soft legs. Originally wanted to talk and blame but can't talk at the instant. Just feel that the boss is not wrong, it's himself who's wrong.

Guo Kai tremblingly led his boss out of the encirclement. He was about to get on the nanny car when Ye Handong saw the fan who had been following behind him that is not standard in Mandarin. Tangled for a bit, he said something.
