Chapter 6

After a week-long break Shen Shujie rejoined the film crew. Truth be told, playing the part of a sickly second male lead, he didn’t have many lines to say. Every day all he had to do was lie somewhat down on the bed and pretend to cough blood out. Bearing in mind the fact that Shen Shujie had spent quite a few years in this industry already, as long as there weren’t many lines he needed to memories or any scenes that required high levels of acting skills, then he would usually perform quite satisfactorily.

His assistant Little Duan helped take a side-profile picture of him as he lay on the bed looking out the window. The lighting in the room was so dim that the only source of light was a ray of light shining on him through the window. As a tuberculosis patient, he had spent many years unable to get down from his bed, and his eyes carried faint traces of deep longing, as well as extreme loneliness.

Little Duan felt that the picture was perfect, “Let’s post this on Weibo.”

Shen Shujie nodded politely in thanks at this. He didn’t have his own personal assistant, and usually his assistants on-set were randomly assigned by his company. The only person in the company who knew of the relationship between Jiang Haofeng and himself was the company’s CEO. Initially, the CEO had thought that Jiang Haofeng’s madam sudden desire to enter the entertainment industry would mean that he would instantly become famous, yet up till now, Shen Shujie appeared to treat this like an ordinary job and didn’t have many requests. Thus, the CEO also didn’t bother too much about this, merely thinking that he would assign him more assistants once he got famous, but Shen Shujie seemed to remain at his level of popularity. There were a lot of twists and turns on the path to success in the entertainment industry, and his acting skills weren’t even that good, let alone other aspects.

Complying with the film crew’s request, he uploaded that picture, and as he did so, he thought for a moment or two before adding two characters.

Shen Shujie: Bed Scene.

Before Shen Shujie could even put his phone down, comments began to appear, and as he scrolled down through them, he couldn’t help but let out a laugh.

@People_who_covet_someone_else’s_wife_are_hateful: As a public figure, you should be careful about what you say.

As for the fans beneath this comment, they were utterly overcome with joy at this picture, yet this weird account was back with their odd-sounding comments.

”AH-AH-AH-AH-AH-AH Shushu!!!!”

”AH-AH-AH-AH Shushu!! Adding a like for your new project!! Such a pretty frail young noble!!! Even though the little wifey managed to snatch the sofa, but I definitely won’t like her comment!!”

T/N: Sofa – internet slang for So Fast (so snatching the sofa would mean being the first to comment)

”The little wifey is here to ruin moods again! Even though what they said makes sense, I still won’t like it!”

”How has Shushu misspoke? Isn’t this a scene on a bed? Plus I practically drooled over Shushu’s side profile!!! He’s so handsome I could explode!!”

”@People_who_covet_someone_else’s_wife_are_hateful, why are you so concerned about what Shushu writes on his own personal Weibo, you’re overstepping!”

”Even though he is a public figure, but Shushu was purposely being humorous, can’t you tell?”

”If you don’t like it then don’t look at it ah! I really hate this type of person who likes to go around criticising everyone!”

Shen Shujie continued to look through some more comments for a while, then he logged off Weibo and sent the same picture from just now to Jiang Haofeng, asking him, “Do I look good?”

Jiang Haofeng probably wasn’t occupied at the time because his reply was instant, “Mmm.”

”Take a guess, what genre the project is this time.”

”Historical.”

”How clever our CEO Jiang is, you instantly guessed it.”

“……”

”It’s always playing some young nobleman or young master, honestly I want to try challenging a higher level of difficulty.”

”What do you mean by higher level of difficulty?”

”Like, maybe trying a forty-minute long bed scene?”

”Not possible.”

”With you.”

”Alright then.”
