BE Crazy Demon Survival System [Quick Transmigration]Ch11 - The Peak of Competition Between Beauty and Acting Skills (11)

The suddenly reduced distance caught Xu Qichen off guard, rooting him to the spot.

Lin Ran’s warm breath fanned his face like the balmy summer winds on the beach. KXH92v

After being in that position for more than ten seconds, Lin Ran leant back.

“Even though you’re only two years younger than me, since cutting your hair, you look more like a kid.”

Then he stood up and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.

Xu Qichen lowered his head and found that he was still holding the half-eaten chicken thigh. He awkwardly put it back into the takeaway box, then drew a paper towel to thoroughly wipe his hands. axKAOs

He asked 0901 in his mind: “Is this Lin Ran really a straight guy?”

0901: “Mr. Xu, he is a character written by you.”

Xu Qichen: “… Oh, right. I almost forgot. I feel like he’s even more OOC than me ah.”

0901: “That’s likely because you’re not following the original plot.”

Faintly sighing in his mind, Xu Qichen looked at Lin Ran, who had seated himself beside him again.

If Ji Mengze was said to have a childish and delicate appearance, Lin Ran, with his straight-edged nose, long, narrow and deep eyes, and an oval three-dimensional face, matched the traditional definition of handsome.

Previously he thought he seemed familiar, but upon further pondering, Xu Qichen guessed that it was probably because every one of his features sniped at his weak spots.

Suddenly, a familiar blue light appeared before his eyes. The scattered rays gradually formed the word ‘Congratulations’. 0AoFyK

En? He earned 800 points this time. Xu Qichen happily accepted the points, his mood instantly improved. He took the initiative to ask, “Why did you come to my room?”

Lin Ran had been playing with his phone. Upon hearing Xu Qichen’s question, he answered without raising his head, “Just to get familiar ah. Aren’t we starting the actual filming tomorrow?”

Although this reason is flimsy, Xu Qichen can grudgingly accept it.

Since Lin Ran looked to be gaming on his phone, Xu Qichen also took out his phone, only to find that his Weibo notifications had exploded. cMaeAz

He opened it to check.

In the comment section, a lot of people had suddenly shown up to scold him. Unlike the passersby from before, the IDs of this group of people all seemed to be related to Sun Cheng.

Strange.

Xu Qichen had an ominous premonition. He opened the hot search page, and as expected, the number one hot search had already changed from [Ji Mengze] to [Ji Mengze Sun Cheng]. IBogTl

He tapped on it.

The first few featured posts were from marketing accounts with information about Sun Cheng’s audition, as well as screenshots from his audition video. The texts also had similar content.

According to an insider leak, the original actor selected for the role of Yu Ning in Director Chen Anping’s new film on homosexuality, Nan Ke, was Sun Cheng. However, due to various reasons, Sun Cheng lost the opportunity to act that role.

A few marketing blogs even attached the screenshot of one of Sun Cheng’s Weibo posts. oKw uW

Xu Qichen tapped open Sun Cheng’s main Weibo page and found that he had indeed posted a Weibo at about 12pm, the content being: [What we have, we should engrave in our hearts; what we have lost, we should be thankful for. I’m still young and in my prime, there is much to look forward to in the future.] Attached was a selfie with a bright smile.

Looking at the bright smile and the two sweet dimples, Xu Qichen felt upset.

The discussion online had already changed directions.

Originally, the passersby were only ridiculing with [Ji Mengze’s acting skills are unworthy of being cast in Nan Ke], but now it had morphed into a more maddening topic like [Ji Mengze cut off Sun Cheng]. duQxq2

[Dawn wind, waning moon]: So I was wondering, wasn’t there a melon before about Sun Cheng being cast as Yu Ning? Why did the official announcement say Ji Mengze? Seems like there was really a problem here.

[I’m a chestnut not a lychee]: Aside from a face what does JMZ have? Sun Cheng even has a Best Newcomer Award, how can Ji not feel embarrassed cutting him off?

[Chengcheng is the World’s No.1]: Carry my Cheng away, top traffic group is really different ah. Btw advertising chengcheng’s XXXX show, premiering on 19 June, 8pm o!

[My Ran was hand-fed by the heavens]: JMZ must be drunk, if you don’t have the right drill then don’t TM do porcelain repair, okay? Don’t you know your own weight will drag others down?! tvhG5U

[Lin Ran’s third concubine]: Ran family don’t join the fight! Ran family don’t join the fight! Ran family don’t join the fight! Don’t you know, you will only burn yourself while fanning the flames?

“Didn’t you say you don’t care about others’ scolding?”

Xu Qichen: “En. It’s just that it feels… I don’t know how to say it.” His head lowered again subconsciously. No matter how little he cared, it’s still uncomfortable to have black and white inverted like this and be falsely accused. XrtHvf

Suddenly he heard a click.

Xu Qichen raised his head again to see Lin Ran holding out his phone facing towards him, to take a photo.

“I’m going back first.” Lin Ran put his phone in his pocket and walked towards the door himself. Then he turned around and said with a teasing smile, “Thank you for the hospitality.”

0901: “Mr. Xu, will you not stall him?” 25ufwZ

Xu Qichen said without any sentiment: “He’s finally leaving, I’m very happy.”

0901: “…”

He became the only one in the room once again. It felt more oppressive.

Xu Qichen laid down on the bed. i7EYdD

Through the open window, the night wind of Nice brought with it the atmosphere of the sea; salty and cool. When it blew on his face, it didn’t feel very comfortable.

He didn’t know how long he spent in a daze before several WeChat notifications rang.

He didn’t want to move, but he was worried it might be Li Yun, so he reluctantly opened it.

Xu Qichen’s sixth sense has always been accurate, it really was Li Yun. Gk jQS

Li Yun: Where are you now?

Li Yun: Is Lin Ran with you? How did you become so familiar?

Li Yun: Why didn’t you follow him back?

When Xu Qichen read the messages, his mind became a mess. X0ecdR

He opened Weibo to find Lin Ran had already gone on the hot search. On tapping it open, he froze.

Five minutes ago, Lin Ran had posted a Weibo.

[Lin Ran]: Little kid Yu Ning cut his hair today, so cute. [cool]

The attached photo was the sneak shot he had taken of him earlier. VRATUM

Wearing a white t-shirt and casual shorts, his hair in a mess from Lin Ran’s rubbing. Because of the angle of the shot, he looked especially small. Only half of his fair face could be seen. On the floor was the mess of takeaway boxes, cola cups, and the towel he had used to dry his hair.

It gave off…

A homely feeling.

Xu Qichen checked the comments. The hottest comment was actually from Lin Ran himself. WA PUD

[Lin Ran]: @soulmateJiMengze my photo taking skills are good right ^ ^

The feelings in his heart at this moment were difficult to describe with words.

With his brain filled with Lin Ran’s not-quite-there smile, Xu Qichen looked at this line for a long time.

Xu Qichen: “0901, I have a question.” Wqrnlw

0901: “Mr. Xu, please ask.”

Xu Qichen: “Does Lin Ran already like me?”

0901: “Mr. Xu, this is against the rules. This kind of question involves the secondary task, I do not have the authority to answer you.”

Xu Qichen: “Okay.” HB6ZNp

This question only lived in his brain for about ten seconds before he figured it out.

Lin Ran only did this to prevent the ever-fermenting discussions from affecting the filming progress of his new film. After all, they were colleagues now.

Plus, why would somebody whom he had met only a few times like him.

Ah, that’s not right, saying it like that is a bit like face-slapping. Xu Qichen recalled the past he couldn’t bear to look back on. YXiZlS

It’s better to look at the comments ba.

Lin Ran’s posts have always been the ‘10 thousand reposts, 20 thousand comments’ kind. His fans were not obsessed with numbers, preferring to let them be natural, unlike a lot of traffic’s Weibos like Ji Mengze’s, which normally have hundreds of thousands of reposts.

In the comments section of the post from Lin Ran was a large group of passerby rotten girls.

[ I want to go and see you tomorrow ]: Large scale official death-inducing fanart series! Calling him ‘Little kid Yu Ning’ is really so su I’m going to explode ah! lwk1QB

[The sea bird and the fish]: Why am I suddenly being stuffed with dog food? ‘Protecting the kid’ aesthetics, I can’t even refuse to eat it!

[Like your smile]: Sorry, this morning I said I’d rather die than watch this film, now I only want to say this: Very fragrant.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

[Gunala Goddess of Darkness]: Above, Wang Jingze law hahaha.

[Keeprealll]: Ji Mengze sitting on the floor, beside him is the bed… emm, my focal point is a bit bent… but Ji Mengze’s youthful aura here is really explosive! E1mx0

[Yes I’m a beauty-con so what]: Teacher Lin is full of the ‘pampering gong’ aesthetic ah, older pampering gong x beautiful well-behaved shou, this setting is too cute ba! Plus the beauty! Beauty dogs carnival ah!!

[It’s my mengmeng]: Is Teacher Lin publicly slapping someone ma 2333

[Has Lin Ran married me today]: Big brother, at this time you shouldn’t step in casually ba…

… jyITSu

Although there was still some unrest, it’s basically been covered. The netizens’ commenting speed was so amazing, it made one’s hair stand. Within 10 minutes, there were more than 30 thousand comments. The big V accounts also began to repost this Weibo, discussing various details of the photo.

Everyone’s meng point… is very sudden ah.

Xu Qichen suddenly recalled Li Yun’s WeChat message and quickly followed Lin Ran.

Xu Qichen: “0901, am I supposed to reply to him?” LH9xJO

0901: “Mr. Xu, since Lin Ran has even @ you, I think it is necessary to reply.”

True. After some thought, Xu Qichen decided on a ‘laugh-cry’ emoji. Anyway, this emoji is an all-purpose one.

Once he decided, he tapped on it and sent it. Suddenly his phone rang, shocking him into almost mistakenly hanging up.

Li Yun’s voice was as lively as usual, “Hey! Ji Mengze! Why didn’t you reply to my message!” JwPkGi

Xu Qichen replied weakly: “Ah… After I saw it I went to check Weibo, so I forgot to reply to you…”

“Is Lin Ran still in your room?”

Xu Qichen: “No, he went back a while ago.”

Li Yun’s voice suddenly went up a tone, “So he was really in your room!? That photo was really taken by him?” SCkfMg

Xu Qichen: “En, we ate something together.”

Li Yun was a bit confused, how come her celebrity could always easily become familiar with others? He clearly has a stiff and quiet personality. “Okay, Sun Cheng’s team has already created waves, trying to steal the heat from you and the film, pulling you into deep waters and letting you carry the pot. Don’t reply, understood?”

“En, I understand.”

“Just ignore this matter and focus on filming. Lin Ran posting on Weibo at this time is also to help you. If Sun Cheng’s team has no other tricks, this matter will blow over soon.” 5bhAVR

Xu Qichen replied with an ‘en’. After a few more instructions, Li Yun quickly hung up the phone.

She’s always so excited, Xu Qichen thought.

His phone screen returned to the earlier Weibo interface. He refreshed the comment section and found that his comment has already been liked to the number one spot under Lin Ran’s comment.

But… ux54lG

Ai!!!

He clearly sent a ‘laugh-cry’ emoji ah!

Why did it turn into a heart??
