BE Crazy Demon Survival System [Quick Transmigration]Ch27.1 - The Peak of Competition Between Beauty and Acting Skills (27)

Hearing Lin Ran ramble on like that, Xu Qichen suddenly felt like crying.

When his parents left, he did not cry. In school, when he could not make friends because he was too shy, he did not cry. XYdg5K

He had only ever felt his tear ducts working for two people, and Lin Ran was one of them.

He took a step forward and looked into Lin Ran’s gentle eyes.

“I’m sorry.”

Lin Ran’s expression changed. The shine in his eyes extinguished completely, while his demeanor seemed to say ‘I was expecting this.’ He sighed and tried to smile, just so he could diffuse the awkwardness of a failed confession. 1Vra0l

Seeing this expression, Xu Qichen smiled first.

“I’m a literature student.”

Without pause, he took another step closer to Lin Ran.

“I’m not really good at fixing things.”

He placed his forehead on Lin Ran’s collarbone.

“But this time, I want to try.”

With a sigh, Lin Ran embraced him. Maybe he was thinking too much, but Xu Qichen thought the sigh sounded like the sigh of someone who had finally fulfilled a long-held wish after many years. There was an unspeakable strangeness to it.

Before Xu Qichen could think too much about it, he felt a kiss on his ear. qWTBg0

He lifted his head to see Lin Ran smiling so excitedly even his sharp tooth was shining.

“That’s okay, if you fail you can try again and again, until it’s fixed.”

At this moment, Xu Qichen felt like the confusion in his mind had finally been resolved. It turned out that his melancholy of the past few days had been because he had been unable to understand his own heart.

This was the reason why he was only concerned about how Lin Ran thought of him? HQiTmG

In truth, he did not believe that he would ever like another person again, much less a character he wrote himself. He dared not even imagine involving real emotions while he faced Lin Ran with the intention of completing the task, so he never even considered that he might like Lin Ran.

“I’ll apply the medicine for you.” Saying that, he looked at the medicines Xiaoxiao had given him. There was an eyedrop and a cream. “Do I use the eyedrop or apply the cream directly?”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“Eyedrop first, then cream.” Xu Qichen leant back, resting his head on the sofa. Then he felt embarrassed and sat up, “Let me do it myself.”

Lin Ran pushed him back down, “Don’t move.” Then he bent over and carefully removed the gauze and tape over his left eye. “Does it hurt?” SwUbC3

“No.”

Under the gauze, his left eye was still somewhat swollen. After being covered for a whole day it was suddenly exposed to light because of which he could barely open it. Seeing this, Lin Ran’s heart ached for him. He picked up the eyedrop and leant closer, casting a shadow over Xu Qichen’s head. “Open your eye slowly.”

Xu Qichen hummed in acknowledgement then slowly opened his left eye. The whites of his eyes were covered by red vessels. He saw Lin Ran’s frown and laughed, “Is it scary? It’s very ugly ba.”

Lin Ran lightly pecked his left eye, “It’s beautiful.” He uncapped the eye drop bottle and lifted Xu Qichen’s chin, “Don’t blink.” ohDLAb

His hand shook a little, so Lin Ran used his other hand to steady it and successfully dropped a few drops. Xu Qichen rapidly blinked his eyes and the excess eyedrop flowed down his face. Lin Ran wiped it away, then squeezed some cream onto his finger and gently rubbed it on his closed left eye.

“Who was the one who sprayed you?”

Xu Qichen noticed that Lin Ran’s tone had obviously changed. He replied blandly, “A young lady. Yun-jie said they have called the police, and she was caught on camera by some fans. She’ll be found soon enough.”

“She must have been possessed to dare to do such a thing! I almost rushed over in rage yesterday. The reporters kept asking questions that made me so angry I couldn’t keep my rage down, so I had a black face the whole time, and some rivals even got articles published for that.” As he spoke, he had cut a new piece of gauze and carefully pasted it on for him. LvMJGi

“Don’t be angry, she probably won’t dare to do this again.” Xu Qichen opened his eye and smiled at him, revealing his white teeth, “Anyway, aside from my haters, your fans are the ones who hate me the most now. I haven’t even dared to open my private correspondences these past few days.”

“Did you think your fans aren’t scolding me?” Lin Ran pinched his cheek, “They even photoshopped obituary photos of me.”

“Ai, I have those too.” Xu Qichen dug around for his handphone and searched for the photos to show him.

“This looks so fake, look at mine,” Lin Ran was about to pull it up on his handphone when he realised that the topic had strayed, and strayed beyond what was normal. “Forget it, I won’t compete with a top traffic. My fans aren’t as fierce as yours.” Lin Ran held Xu Qichen’s face, rubbed their noses together, then sat down beside him. gvjxKF

His handphone’s notification sounded. After unlocking the phone and checking, Lin Ran told Xu Qichen, “The film’s trailer is out.”

Xu Qichen was not very surprised, “En.”

“You look like you expected this.”

He shook his head, “This is the best time to post it. There were too many negative opinions online about me this past half-month, public opinion had hit rock bottom. Yesterday’s incident turned things around, and even added heat to my name. Adding on the press conference and today’s variety show filming on the road, this should be when the film’s popularity is at its highest, and releasing the trailer now is the best way to take advantage of it.” mu1Nvo

Lin Ran laughed, “You’re the smartest.” But his detailed analysis also made Lin Ran’s heart ache. Xu Qichen’s ability to take on an outsider’s perspective was beyond that of an average person.

“Wanna watch it?”

“Yes.” Xu Qichen leant over. He was somewhat anxious. After all, whether they succeed in turning his image around depended heavily on this trailer.

The trailer was not very long, only about 40 seconds. It began with the sound of a piano and the sky in Nice. From outside the coffee shop, Yu Ning watches Nan Ke secretly, while his narration plays, [I hate summer.] As the BGM rises in tempo, the speed of the scenes changing also increases, until the scene where they kiss under the moonlight. wMapPE

Suddenly the BGM changes. They meet once again, and once again fall for each other. The increasingly fast drum beat accompanies the scenes as they speed up, and finally stops on Yu Ning’s face as he looks at Nan Ke at the bar. In the end, the image merges with the more youthful Yu Ning looking at Nan Ke, then fades to black.

Then, there was only their voices conversing in French.

[Nan Ke: Is this the life you want?]

[Yu Ning: This is the life you gave me.] R451Uf

After watching the trailer, they were silent for several seconds. Xu Qichen was still leaning over, so Lin Ran pecked him on the cheek, then sighed in contentment.

“I will definitely be called a scum gong when it’s released. Poor little kid Yu Ning really stirs up sympathy.”

“You won’t,” Xu Qichen rebutted seriously. “How can a work of art’s value be judged only based on the plot? Nan Ke is a complicated character, and you acted very very well.”

Lin Ran pinched his cheek, “You ah.” So serious that it’s cute. 9fXt87

The trailer was very attractive. Nan Ke’s performance had a lot of depth, and Yu Ning’s change in character was very evident. The overlapping of the two images at the end was very impactful.

This trailer was enough to reverse the discussion online.

“Let’s see the comments.”

Lin Ran nodded and opened the comment box. As expected, most of the comments were positive. KhOlVf

[Buddha-class Girl]: Ji Mengze’s gaze at the end, really really… Why do I suddenly want to watch this?

[Ah Mo-chan]: Why do they match so well? Is this a ‘break-fix’ plot?

[even doctors can’t cure me]: Lin Ran’s acting skills are the devil-level as far as this generation is concerned. That shot of Nan Ke squatting and smoking had me rewinding to rewatch it so many times! But Ji Mengze didn’t pale in comparison, how strange… Has he really been enlightened?

[Watermelon are you there]: Yet another reservation for fragrance. iv7Ke2

[keidns]: Gather around to witness the mass face-slapping of netizens.

[Proudly waving the largest RuanMeng CP flag]: Having removed my CP-tinted glasses, I would like to proclaim, this pair matches too well!

Amongst the comments and reposts, a large portion of them put the focus on Xu Qichen’s performance. After going through so much these past few days, the constantly worsening public opinion finally had a reasonable point to spring up on. In a few minutes, the trailer had made it onto the hot rankings. W9Pdhu

At the same time, fan-captured videos of Xu Qichen getting injured and the filming of the variety show on the road also went viral. Where passersby once followed the haters in insulting his acting skills, there was only sympathy and anticipation.

[A small fafa for you]: Although I’m not Ji Mengze’s fan, deliberately hurting others like this is truly terrible behaviour. Quickly catch her before she hurts more people.

[I’m just this cool]: This can’t be regular ‘taking revenge on society’ ba. Ji Mengze is also very unlucky. Even without doing anything he can be universally attacked online for an entire half a month. There are really good and bad sides to being a traffic.

[wins]: Wasn’t the online attack due to rival groups’ messing around? To be honest I used to dislike JMZ too, because he looks too delicate. But he’s been quiet and serious, and his personality is quite lowkey. Who would have thought haters would dare to assault him in a public place now? Being a traffic is really not easy. But when this film comes out his reputation should be able to make a turnaround. I hope he can drop the title of ‘traffic’ and become a proper actor. gE5L9X

[As adorable as can be]: Previously, when I saw the official announcement, I thought Lin Ran was downgrading. Didn’t expect that Ji Mengze could improve so quickly. It feels like the journey of this film from casting through going onto theatres can be written into a rebirth entertainment industry novel, hahaha.
