I Just Want To Be In A RelationshipCh2 - I have graduated Primary School.

Seeing how Yu Qinghuan’s eyes widened, looking at him incredulously, his youthful face seeming even younger, Liu Jia’an couldn’t help but give a rare, slight smile. “Okay, follow me to the set and give it a go. I need to fully understand your situation before I can take the right measures to address any issues.

“Director Liu, this wouldn’t be too good ba.” Yu Qinghuan stood there stiffly. He had almost thought that he was hearing things. xWO6cv

What kind of good luck was this? The director had coincidentally overheard him as he was in the midst of a conversation with Manager Yu Xin. Because of those few words, the director had been very impressed with him and generously given him the role!

If this had happened in his previous life, Yu Qinghuan would have laughed himself awake. However, this time, it was completely different. He neither wanted to debut at such a high starting point, nor did he want to become famous. All he wanted to do was to leave the entertainment circle and find love!

Although, truth to be told, he didn’t have that great of a luck in his previous life.

Whenever he went around the entire country with the filming crew, as long as he was present in the car, there would definitely be a traffic jam. Everytime he attended a wedding of the actors he was acquainted with, he would always get nothing but an empty wrapper while everyone else received the tasty wedding candy that was being passed out. Even during meals, in a table full of people, he would be the only one whose bowl contained a little worm. wDt9q8

Yu Qinghuan’s friends would always joke with him that he should buy a few lottery tickets with that heaven-defying luck of his. He had initially been eager to give it a try, buying a few, however he did not manage to hit a single number even once. As such, he just resolutely gave up on such an activity.

Could it be that after his rebirth, his shitty luck has suddenly turned good?

Yu Qinghuan rubbed the back of his head, pondering deeply.

In the eyes of Liu Jia’an, this look of his seemed as though he was embarrassed, and his attitude became even more amiable. “It’s fine. I’m the director and whatever I say goes. You’re called Qinghuan right, come, follow me ba.”

This resembled those schemes where a greasy uncle would trick a cute little girl.

Yu Qinghuan had just been thinking of a way to politely decline so as to not offend him when Yu Xin finally reacted. With such a massive meat pie being offered, he could not contain the urge to open his mouth. He dragged Yu Qinghuan towards the audition field without giving him an opportunity to protest, also not forgetting to exchange pleasantries with Liu Jia’an. “Hello Director Liu, hello Director Liu. Our worthless little brat just has this type of personality. Please don’t worry, he won’t reject you, it’s just that he has just recently entered the entertainment circle and has no self-confidence.”

Director Liu nodded his head: “I know. This isn’t bad.”

The both of them excitedly discussed amongst themselves, completely ignoring Yu Qinghuan who stood at the side. A Pqlg

Yu Qinghuan: “……”

It’s not that he had no self-confidence, it’s that he really did not want to act ah!

In the audition hall, because Director Liu had left, the rest of the judges were no longer as devoted to the audition. As they hurriedly looked at the remaining auditionees, they kept sighing in frustration, sitting in the chairs as if they were paralysed.

The assistant director, Jiang Qi turned his script into a fan as he repeatedly fanned: “Today’s work has been completely in vain. Tidy up and disperse ba. The actors these days ah, tsktsktsk. 1P5Tym

The producer had a good relationship with him. At his words, he casted a sidelong glance: Lao Jiang, you shouldn’t be spreading your negativity. Who knows if we’ll be able to find someone suitable in just a while.”

Jiang Qi didn’t bother to acknowledge him, only using a word to show his attitude: “He⸺”

Just at this moment, Liu Jia’an ushered Yu Qinghuan in. He lifted his hands up and clapped them twice and waited until all eyes were on him. He pushed Yu Qinghuan forwards and introduced him: “Come come come, get to know him everyone. This is Yu Qinghuan, the actor who will be playing the role of Ye Sheng.”

Jiang Qi’s fan dropped. VNxBMU

The producer spat out a mouthful of tea.

Qlat pera atf olgra uijcmf, kbk! Lbk tjcvrbwf!

With another careful look, it completely stunned them. vlkbsY

There weren’t many actors who could withstand the pressure of scrutiny. They were people who had an eye for beauty, and they could tell that this young man called Yu Qinghuan was all natural!

This sort of attractiveness, it was more than okay, it was simply out of this world! It was just that they weren’t sure how good his acting skills would be.

They didn’t even know where Director Liu had managed to find such a person. They couldn’t even find any sort of information on him on the internet.

“Alright, Qinghuan.” Director Liu returned back to his seat and signalled Yu Qinghuan to sit in front of him. He shuffled a few sheets of the script before pointing at a particular scene, saying to Yu Qinghuan: “Come and recite this part.” C9Mf6

This was the part where Ye Sheng was making a scene on the airplane after knowing that he had been sent to the battlefield.

The difficulty wasn’t high per se, but it still wouldn’t be easy for newbies to act it out.

If he slipped up just the slightest bit, the acting would make one seem like a shrew.

Yu Qinghuan gave a sweeping glance and instantly understood the content of what he had to act out. After he had failed to pass the audition for《The Line between Life and Death》in his previous life, he had repeatedly pondered over the script countless times. He had even seen the final film over and over for no other reason than the fact that he was indignant. hoc0Cn

It can be said, in regards to this script now, he was more deeply familiar with it than any other actor.

Yet in this life, he precisely didn’t want such a role. Should he intentionally screw up while acting before privately finding Director Liu to resign?

This thought only flashed in his mind briefly before Yu Qinghuan rejected it.

He didn’t wish to enter the entertainment circle once again, but he also didn’t want to fool others. Even more so, he did not wish to leave a cowardly image or the impression that he could not act on the people he knew. 9fRq3i

After Director Liu’s introduction, everyone was waiting to see Yu Qinghuan’s performance, however, he looked like he was in a trance, not even moving after half a day.

Jiang Qi secretly sent the producer a WeChat message: This person cannot make it.

Producer: What kind of plaything has Director Liu found? What does he like about him? His face?

Jiang Qi: Possibly. k4fn2K

Producer: Never thought I’d see a day where even Director Liu would choose someone based on appearance ah 【Sigh ( ̄Д ̄) =3】

Unlike the other people who were all very passionate, Yu Xin was instead incredibly anxious, hating that he couldn’t seize Yu Qinghuan by the throat and make him quickly perform properly.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Following Yu Qinghuan’s silence, a weird atmosphere descended upon the audition hall. Just as Yu Xin was about to remind him, Yu Qinghuan instead suddenly placed the script down.

As the corners of his eyes reddened, his pupils widened in a split second, brimming with fright and anger. N9siQo

Ye Sheng thought that he had been plotted against, which was why he had been placed on the airplane sending him to the battlefield. The arrogant and wilful Xiao Shaoye was extremely enraged, immediately howling: “I WANT TO GET OFF THIS PLANE! RIGHT NOW! IMMEDIATELY! WHOEVER WANTS TO GO TO THAT SHITTY PLACE, GO ON! REGARDLESS, I WON’T GO! I’M TELLING YOU ALL, MY PARENTS ARE STILL WAITING FOR ME AT HOME, DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO MY PARENTS ARE…….”

The reason he had flared up so intensely was less so that he was truly angry, but more so because he was afraid.

What kind of place was the battlefield? The moment he let down his guard, he would die. He still had so much of his life left to live, there were still so many beautiful things waiting for him, how could he go to that damned place where even birds wouldn’t dare shit at to waste his life!

Yu Qinghuan was very emotional, as though Ye Sheng himself had materialised, protesting like his life depended on it. He wished the flight could be delayed, absolutely refusing to go to the battlefield. EWKg6S

All sorts of complicated emotions were vividly portrayed, that even after he had finished performing, everyone in the audition hall had yet to awaken from their stupor.

The assistant director and the producer quickly glanced at one another. They could see the shock within one another’s eyes.

This is a newbie? This was a lie ba? Since when could a newbie be so outstanding!

This segment of his acting was extremely smooth and natural. Even compared to the previous Film emperors, he was in a completely different league! KRiasd

This sort of breathtaking acting skills, that amazing control of emotions, Director Liu still dared to say this was a newbie? Fucking godly “newbie!”

Even as Director Liu faced the shocked or questioning gazes of others he was completely unperturbed. His mind was consumed by one single thought: He had picked up a treasure!

After Yu Qinghuan finished auditioning, everyone’s attitude towards him instantly changed. There were even some who had heard that he had no assistant, and wanted to help introduce some to him. Yu Xin slyly handled the idle chat to the point that while he was walking there was even an imaginary tail that had stood straight up.

Actually, he had been unwilling when the company had first pushed Yu Qinghuan to him. So what if he was the top 1 graduate in the country? So what if he skipped multiple grades? This was the entertainment circle, not the exam hall! NdVUrh

However, once he got to properly know Yu Qinghuan’s life story, Yu Xin couldn’t help but feel sympathetic. He may already be a slippery old fox, but his heart still held a trace of goodwill.

This orphan with no parents had to rely on countless families when growing up. He could not afford to pay the school fees during high school and had to skip two grades. Luckily, he was smart and became the provincial top scorer, entering the best local university.

Since the drama club was something he could make a living from, during his university days, he had participated in countless plays, eventually coincidentally signing to the company and getting assigned under him.

At this point Yu Xin could not help celebrating this stroke of good luck. Thank god he still felt a little sympathetic and gave this chance to Yu Qinghuan. Otherwise, he would’ve almost missed this good seedling. lIBKUm

Ge, you go first ba, I’ll take a stroll around.” Yu Xin was still deep in his thoughts when Yu Qinghuan suddenly spoke.

Yu Xin was stupefied, but he immediately thought that once Yu Qinghuan became famous, he wouldn’t be able to casually appear in public anymore. He repeatedly urged him to be careful before he drove off in his secondhand Audi.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Once Yu Xin left, Yu Qinghuan did not leave the area, instead, he turned around and went to the lottery stall at the roadside and bought a lottery ticket.

Even though his luck wasn’t good, he had even managed to encounter a situation like rebirth, so, just in case ne! 6StKbV

Stuffing the lottery ticket into his pocket, Yu Qinghuan did not hail a taxi, instead leisurely strolling by the roadside. In his previous life, his life had been overly hectic. If he carefully thought about it, even though he had made a lot of money, he hadn’t been happy at all.

In this life, he will never again let himself become a mere money making machine. He wanted to go to the best places, see the most beautiful sceneries, eat the most delicious food, and finally, find the most suitable person to spend a lifetime with.

As for money, just enough to get by was fine. Fame? He definitely didn’t need that!

The corners of Yu Qinghuan’s lips were slightly curved up. When he had found a zebra crossing and was waiting for the light to turn green before he crossed, he glanced at the opposite road only to suddenly discover that there was a loud commotion. aQ2Gk6

There was a tall and lean man who was currently standing in the middle of the road indifferently. No matter how much the cars behind him incessantly honked, he refused to move, causing the traffic to become incredibly congested.

Quite a few drivers had stuck out their heads to yell at him, their words only becoming more and more vulgar as time passed. However, he did not know if the man was doing it on purpose or not; he just continued to stand still.

The pedestrians at the side all came to see the commotion, but there wasn’t a single person who went forward to drag the man away.

Seeing how the road was getting more and more congested, Yu Qinghuan eventually couldn’t take it anymore and with large strides, he grabbed the man’s wrist and dragged him to the side of the road. QVebzF

“Red means stop, green means go, don’t you even know this? You didn’t graduate primary school?” Yu Qinghuan snapped. He did not expect that when he looked up at the man, that one look would completely stun him.

The man was exceedingly handsome. His facial features were profound and the contours of his face full of heroic spirit. He wore a white shirt that was buttoned all the way up to the collar that was coupled with a long black windbreaker. He did not look old-fashioned, on the contrary, he had a type of ascetic yet suave handsomeness.

What a shame. It was such an attractive face, but he was ill-mannered.

Yu Qinghuan expressed his regret internally for a while, coldly saying: “The traffic almost came to a standstill because of you. Next time, make sure that you obey the traffic regulations before you cross the road. Do you understand?” d7BFMZ

The man simply stared at him blankly, completely silent.

Yu Qinghuan quickly became annoyed. Was this man completely unrepentant?

He had no patience towards this sort of arrogant and pretentious but uncaring attitude. He was just about to leave once he had chided for a bit, the moment he took a step, the back of his shirt was grabbed onto by the man behind him.

Yu Qinghuan turned his head, coolly saying: “What?” 8EL23v

Could it be that he had felt unhappy from his words? Did he want to seek a fight with him?

The man lowered his head slightly, those dark lashes of his trembling slightly as he said very seriously, “I have already graduated primary school.”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Yu Qinghuan: “……”

Yu Qinghuan: “Sure, you’ve already graduated. I know that now, can you let me go?” KqR3w0

The man refused to let go, only looking at him. His pupils were pitch-black and his gaze was deep and profound. He wasn’t sure why, but Yu Qinghuan seemed to notice a hint of grievance within them.

Yu Qinghuan: “Anything else?”

The man: “I do respect the traffic rules, but I do not know how to cross the road.”

Yu Qinghuan: “……” urEdHw

Translator's Note

Raws says 才好丢症下药 which literally translates to “Prescribe the right medicine”.

Translator's Note

做梦多能笑醒- It’s a metaphor to indicate how incredulous the situation was.

Translator's Note

喜糖, literally “Wedding candy”. It’s a common practice in Chinese weddings to give out candy as it represents a sweet marriage. “The candy is sweet, marriage is a good thing, let all your friends and family celebrate with you by sharing candy!” Here’s a link to an explanation.

Translator's Note

小萝莉 (Xiao Luo Li) literally means Little Loli.

Translator's Note

您 Polite/respectful form of saying “You”. It’ll occur several times in the novel so I’ll bold it whenever it’s meant to be polite.

Translator's Note

啧啧啧 (Zezeze) It’s an onomatopoeia for clicking your tongue.

Translator's Note

老姜 literally, “Old Jiang”. It’s a friendly and affectionate way to refer to someone who you are familiar and close with. It does not necessarily mean that they are old or older than you.

Translator's Note

哗啦哗啦 (hua la hua la) is just the sound of shuffling.

Translator's Note

Raws said 【叹息】which means “Sigh”, but it’s more-so he was using an sighing emoji.

Translator's Note

Raws said 像是热锅上的蚂蚁, which literally means “Like an ant who was in a hot pot/pan”. It’s just used to describe someone who is very anxious and antsy. Get it. Antsy. HAHAHA

Translator's Note

小少爷 technically means “Young master”, but I decided to keep it as the pinyin form instead, as there’s a quite a lot of nuance to the term itself. It /can/ be used in a rather demeaning way, especially for spoilt brats like Ye Sheng, so this is most probably a sarcastic way of referring to him instead.

Translator's Note

鬼地方 would mean “Ghost place” if translated directly, but 鬼 is more of a word to curse things out. It means something like “Damn”, “Shitty”, “Trashy”. It’s used as a tone indicator for how terrible that battlefield is.

Translator's Note

神 is a slang to refer to someone who is extremely good at something. 他妈的 is as mentioned before, a way to say “Fuck.”

Translator's Note

Written like that in the raws

Translator's Note

He calls himself 老油条 which actually means “Old Youtiao”. Youtiao is actually dough fritters (picture attached above), but he means to call himself as someone slick. Here’s an explanation on Baidu where they go more in depth about the multiple meanings of calling someone “Old Youtiao”. Link.

Translator's Note

百家饭 literally means “Hundred houses rice”, which is a saying that he went around begging for leftovers, or that he was raised by his neighbours and other relatives. Thanks Baidu once again for providing a really good explanation instead of letting us look like clowns. Link to the explanation is here.

Translator's Note

Raws said 十注双色球 which is a kind of gambling where you choose numbers and then “hit” them. The direct translation would be “Ten circles of dual coloured balls.” Basically he just bought ten numbers. Here’s a picture of the ticket!

Translator's Note

您 Again, it’s a polite way of saying you, but Yu Qinghuan is just being really petty and sarcastic by using this term.

  1. Hi Huo Qu! Little Lamb who turns to a little wolf! To read the parts of the little lamb again is refreshing.

  2. It’s seems interesting and funny! I have some theories about our smart man, but need to wait for more chapters to confirm or deny it (๑¯◡¯๑) Thank You for sharing this novel with us ❤

  3. thanks for translating! ♡

    gong is some brand of neurodivergent, if i remember correctly. though it’s meant to be humorous, as it is at the end of the chapter, maybe don’t laugh at him? or at people like me?

      • You are upset with the MC for getting angry at someone who’s standing still in front of vehicles and causing a traffic??? He does not even know that he is neurodivergent. If that was me i would also be angry at that guy disrupting everybody’s time.

        • I was upset with the MC because him yelling at the ML like that reminded me of some bad memories I have of being on the receiving end of people getting angry and insulting me because I couldn’t do something they thought was obvious. At the time even I didn’t know I was neurodivergent, but the words still had an effect on me.

  4. oh my god, I remember this book… I originally read it on another website but it’s good to see CG as it too. I’m really loving the translation so far too
