BE Crazy Demon Survival System [Quick Transmigration]Ch16 - The Peak of Competition Between Beauty and Acting Skills (16)

After the scene Chen Anping gave them ample time to rest. He happened to have a meeting with several videographers. The staff were busy and the set was back to its original noise level.

Xu Qichen’s stomach was still aching. He recalled reading somewhere that drinking milk would help lessen it. So, he walked to the bedside table, picked up the cup of milk, and took a sip. QWAOGM

“Don’t drink that, it’s cold.”

Lin Ran’s voice suddenly appeared. Xu Qichen didn’t know why, but he instantly felt guilty. Because of which when he turned around, he was a little unstable.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

The first thing Lin Ran saw was Xu Qichen’s kissed-swollen lips and he immediately flashed back to the scene from before. Then he noticed the white, milk stain around his upper lip, like a comical mustache, and couldn’t resist laughing. He drew a tissue from the box on the bedside table and handed it to Xu Qichen. Xu Qichen didn’t understand and looked up at him confusedly. Lin Ran could only helplessly step closer and  wipe the milk stain for him.

“Thanks…” UwQoPB

He’d just said that when Lin Ran threw a medicine box towards him.

Xu Qichen caught it and found it to be stomach medicine. He looked up at Lin Ran in surprise, “How did you…”

“It hurts till you are covered in cold sweat but you didn’t say anything. Hng! Eating ice cream everyday and drinking so much black coffee, it’d be strange if it didn’t hurt.” Saying that, Lin Ran turned around and left the room.

Xu Qichen stood still, holding the box in his hands.

0901: “Mr. Xu, why are you standing still, what are you waiting for?”

Xu Qichen lowered his head and smiled: “My reward ah.”

0901: …

As expected, not long after, the reward interface appeared before Xu Qichen’s eyes. PLTI9J

“It’s 2500 this time? So much ah.”

0901: “En… because you kissed, although it’s acting.”

Xu Qichen happily accepted the reason and received the points, feeling very pleased with himself. He then looked around for a cup of water to take the medicine.

After the night scenes, everyone packed up and returned to the hotel. Xu Qichen had just finished showering when he heard Zhang Xiaoxiao calling him from outside. nkEwby

“What is it, are you not going to sleep yet?”

Zhang Xiaoxiao squeezed through the doorframe, carrying a large box. “Aah, it’s so heavy! This is from your fans, I looked through it, it’s all food you like. I’ll put it here for you ah.”

This girl is like the wind; whistling in, then whistling out, but bringing food with her every time. Xu Qichen was very satisfied with her.

It’s even in a chiller box. Xu Qichen opened it excitedly. rRCS5z

He was extremely happy to find it’s filled with spicy tidbits that he hadn’t eaten in a long time; things like spicy duck neck, spicy cuttlefish, etc, a whole box full of it.

Xu Qichen sat on the floor, crossed his legs, turned on the TV to a late night talk show, then devoted himself to eating.

He had drunk too much coffee, so he didn’t feel sleepy even when it was nearing dawn.

Only after finishing a box of duck neck did Xu Qichen felt the spiciness. He kept gulping in air to soothe his burning mouth.. cru925

He was constantly receiving Weibo notifications. So he washed his hands, took a big gulp of mineral water, and picked up his phone to check.

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

The notifications were from the @s from his group mates’ posts. He replied to them meticulously, then checked his fans’ comments and private messages, then habitually refreshed the main page.

Naturally, the comments were filled with replies from his fans.

[Has Lin Ran married me today?]: Buy buy buy! Ranran can eat as many candies as you want~

[My son’s nickname is Ruanruan]: My Ruan’s recent style is too sweet ba! Before it was always Lin Susu ah~

[Lin Family’s grandma]: @All of Ran’s family, we were just discussing what to send to the set! Gege wants to eat candies~ v65oO7

[Ruanruan is not soft at all]: Ranran, remember to drink more water and eat more fruits and vegetables in Nice! When the weather is hot, remember to use sunblock and avoid getting a heatstroke! Take care of your health ah!

He’s a bit envious.

But Xu Qichen quickly remembered that he’d just eaten food sent by his fans, so he felt that they were even. After tossing and turning on the bed for a while, he fell asleep. C2TvZK

The following two days were spent filming by the sea. Xu Qichen lived in an inland city, although it was by a river, he very rarely visited its banks. Not to mention, the bay in Nice was unreasonably beautiful. Subconsciously, he found himself running towards the sea during breaks. But he didn’t do much, just soaked his feet in the seawater and squatted to watch the small shells and hermit crabs in the shallow water.

“Mengze-ge, use an umbrella ba. Look, your neck’s burnt.” Zhang Xiaoxiao specially ran over to hand him an umbrella. Xu Qichen took it and thanked her with a smile. Then with the umbrella in hand, he squatted down, once again.

He really has no self-awareness as an idol ah. Zhang Xiaoxiao looked at Xu Qichen’s back and thought he was a bit strange. Today he didn’t eat any ice cream or tidbits, and even spoke far less than usual.

But he usually didn’t speak much either. QaAjSP

Zhang Xiaoxiao sighed, then remembered, she had a serious matter to talk about: “By the way Mengze-ge, when you’re done you should go back. The fans put together funds to send support to the crew. The fans from the France Support Association have specially come over from Paris.”

Xu Qichen reached into the water to pick up a pretty seashell. When he heard Zhang Xiaoxiao talk about aid, he quickly stood up. “Support for the crew? Are my fans here?”

Zhang Xiaoxiao let out a huff of laughter and quickly nodded, “Yes, yes.”

Xu Qichen broke into a smile: “Then let’s go.” He held the umbrella but it was tilted towards Zhang Xiaoxiao’s side. Zhang Xiaoxiao pushed the umbrella handle back. “You use it ba, Mengze-ge, I’m fine.” C6n 2l

“I won’t get tanned.” Xu Qichen tilted the umbrella back.

When they reached the set, Xu Qichen handed the umbrella to Zhang Xiaoxiao. He saw the support area the fans had set up for him. It was filled with the food and gifts prepared by the fans. He looked from one end to the other and found that, all the food was what he liked, but couldn’t eat for now. His expression changed from happy to aggrieved.

Xu Qichen pursed his lips and sighed. He asked Zhang Xiaoxiao to call the staff to eat together, while he took group photos and signed autographs for the fans that came, adhering to all their requests. After they left, he sat alone on the bench beside the support area and opened the gifts.

The first box he opened had a new gaming console. His eyes brightened, sparkling with happiness. JVfYDd

The second gift wasn’t very big. On opening, it turned out to be a pair of spectacles. Xu Qichen was pleasantly surprised. It’s been some time since he last wore glasses. So he happily picked them up, waved it at Xiaoxiao, and then put them on. He suddenly recalled the pair of glasses he had bought online, received just the day before he died. He didn’t get to wear it for long before dying, what a pity.

Zhang Xiaoxiao, who was watching from the side, thought he was being very strange. “Mengze-ge, are you not eating?”

Xu Qichen glanced at the support dining table with a gaze filled with longing. “Keep some for me in the fridge in my room. I’ll eat them in a few days.”

Zhang Xiaoxiao was very confused, but she did as he asked. fVZhLa

Xu Qichen took a selfie while wearing the glasses and posted it on Weibo.

[soulmateJiMengze]: Thank you for the gifts, I love them [heart]

Before posting it, Xu Qichen thought it was too plain, so he added a line.

It’s very hot, don’t get a heatstroke o~ HeAaph

After posting it, every time he refreshed, hundreds and thousands of comments were showing up per second, Xu Qichen couldn’t read them all.

[Mengmeng too meng]: Oh my, it got through so quickly! Mengmeng with glasses is too good looking ba, I really wanna see Mengmeng acting as a refined rascal ah!

[Has Ji Mengze married me today]: Megmeng’s hair grew so fast ah~ Nice is very hot ba, his fringe is stuck to his forehead because of sweat, way too cute [zoomed in screenshot]

[Heart emoji crazy demon Ji Mengze]: I wonder if the support team sent a lot of ice cream haha 9vL0dx

[Meng is naturally meng]: @Ji Mengze First Chinese Support Team, your position as the first has been replaced! Congratulations, congratulations!

Xu Qichen smiled.

“What a good day, both Lin Ran’s and Ji Mengze’s fans came to support. It’s like New Years’ in the crew hahaha.” Q2TlpN

“Right? So much good food ah, it’s like their fans are competing, they’re too cute!”

Only after Xu Qichen heard the staff discussing did he find out that Lin Ran’s fans also came by today.

He was curious. Remembering the post Lin Ran had made a few days ago, his fans must have sent a lot of sweet foods and candies.

Those are daily necessities ah. 2EcfA1

But… he can’t eat them, so it is better not to think about them.

He sighed again.

Then picking up a letter from the gift box, Xu Qichen started reading it with a slight squint.

This fan’s handwriting was a little messy ah. YPebv4

Xu Qichen bent his waist, his face nearly touching the letter.

Suddenly, something small and hard hit his head.

Crying out softly in pain, Xu Qichen raised his head. Lin Ran was standing in front of him with his usual slight smile. He was hugging several different bags of candies.

Xu Qichen scanned the floor with his eyes and found the candy that was thrown at his head earlier as expected. He picked it up and looked up at Lin Ran without speaking. rd4PY6

Lin Ran: “These fans are really… They nearly brought the whole candy factory over. They’ve already been distributed among all the staff but there’s still so much left.” He raised an eyebrow. “I brought some for you.”

“Thank you.” The sun was a little harsh so Xu Qichen raised his right hand to block the sun. “Put it here ba.”

Lin Ran was obviously unsatisfied with this answer. “You don’t want to eat it now?”

Xu Qichen squinted and nodded obediently. tlDLgj

“Why?” Lin Ran glanced at the packed support area here. “Oh, your own fans brought some, so you disdain my candies, is that it?”

Xu Qichen shook his head without speaking.

Lin Ran squatted down with him, snatched the milk candy packet from his hand, tore open the wrapper, and stuffed it forcefully into Xu Qichen’s mouth.

After being force fed a candy, rather than the happy expression Lin Ran was expecting, Xu Qichen looked all teary and only wanted to spit the candy out. 4dOtS

“Hey, what’s up with you today?”

“Can I spit it out?” Xu Qichen asked in a muffled voice.

Looking at his frown, no matter how frustrated Lin Ran felt, he could not let it out on him. But he still thought he was being strange. “Spit ba.”

Xu Qichen took the wrapper from Lin Ran’s hand, spit out the candy in it and wrapped it up. uERlao

Lin Ran watched him make this series of movements. He suddenly pinched his chin, “Open your mouth.”

Xu Qichen shook his head, tightly clenching his jaw.

“Quickly, or I’ll stuff your mouth with candies.”

Xu Qichen could only open his mouth slightly. Imc8VT

“What on earth is wrong with you?”

“Just a bit of… mouth ulcer. It hurts especially when eating sweet food,” Xu Qichen replied quietly.

Lin Ran frowned. “Where, let me see.”

Xu Qichen stuck out his tongue. On the tip, there was an obvious wound. The ulcer area was not small, and it had already turned white. Em2pFB

“You thought the meals on the set weren’t good enough and wanted to eat meat, is that it?”, Lin Ran began to tease him mercilessly.

Xu Qichen retorted in a small voice, “I wasn’t the one who bit it.”

Lin Ran automatically replied, “If you weren’t the one who bit it, then who did it, me?”

After saying this and seeing the other party refusing to meet his gaze, Lin Ran’s condescending expression slowly disappeared. Zni3oN

  1. Pfft, where they so absorbed in that kissing scene that Lin Ran accidentally bit his tongue without knowing? HAHAHA

    Also, thanks for the chapter!

  2. you confused me about the word for the insulated box, so i had to look up synonyms for cold and got cool as in cooler

    thanks for the chapter! ♡

    see you next week i guess?

  3. Lin Ran walked himself right into that one hahaha. I’m strangely gratified that literally stuffing food into Xu Qichen’s mouth is not always ~the right thing to do~, and that such an intense kiss when they don’t have much practice didn’t go perfectly. I know the author said from the start they’d both need to grow, but I love to see it

    Thank you so much for translating! Have a good lunar new year <3

  4. Lin Ran’s thought after the last line this chapter:

    “I’ve committed a crime!”

    You have become the obstacle between Mengmeng and candy. Shame on you. You beast.

    ✨🤣✨🤣✨
