Mr. Yuan is Always UnhappyCh25 - The Second Male Lead is Going to Kill Me with His Handsomeness!

Edited by Yummers 

Yuan Rui was someone who always kept his promises. As long as he agreed to something, he’d accomplish it no matter what. So despite how hard it was to keep it in, he didn’t tell his bed partner Zheng Qiuyang about Bai Tu and Liang Xi’s relationship. rXhRg4

Though he couldn’t help but show off before going to bed. “When I went to the supermarket to buy groceries today, I ran into Bai Tu in the elevator. Coincidentally, he was going there too so we went together.”

Zheng Qiuyang was a bit surprised, he asked with suspicion, “Did you shamelessly stick yourself to his side?”

Yuan Rui hit him. “That’s not it, he heard that I was going to the supermarket so he initiated that he wanted to go together. He’s such a nice person.”

Zheng Qiuyang was jealous. “He’s nice just because he went to the supermarket with you? Your way of giving good reviews makes no sense.” iyHTtW

Yuan Rui didn’t agree, “He’s so handsome and famous, yet still so hospitable. Even when he goes shopping, he brings his own reusable shopping bag, isn’t he nice?”

Zheng Qiuyang, “……” What the heck is he saying?

Yuan Rui saw how the other didn’t retort back anymore, he lied down satisfyingly. “I have such good taste, the male god I like is such a good person.”

“Hmph.”

Yuan Rui laid one leg atop the other’s, he said with a smile, “I’ve got an even better eye for picking my boyfriend.”

Zheng Qiuyang’s previously frowning lips instantly raised up. He reached out his hand to place Yuan Rui’s head on his shoulder, falling asleep with him in his embrace.

Yuan Rui thought to himself before going to sleep, What should I do? Is my male god Bai Tu being forced by Liang Xi right now? Sigh, that’s terrible.

During break time at work, he beat around the bush as he tried to get information from Zhao Zhengyi. Zhao Zhengyi was clever enough to instantly realize his intentions. He said, “Didn’t I tell you last time? Those two are good——friends.” He purposely dragged out his word with intentions. RbKBPT

Yuan Rui said, “I heard that Liang Xi’s family is quite powerful, is that true?”

Though after all, his worries were just worries. He wasn’t that close with Bai Tu and it was their private matter. All he could do was get worried over it when thinking about it. Sometimes when tidying up stuff, he’d see the signature Bai Tu gave him and he would let out an uncontrollable long sigh. That irritated Zheng Qiuyang a lot. He suspected that the other was fantasizing about being in the place of the main characters from The Bridges of Madison County movie with Bai Tu. qS0t6F

When recording the fourth episode for The Sparkling Friends, aside from the fixed guests on the show, there were two special guests who were actors here to advertise their work. One of them was an actress that’d been in the same set with Yuan Rui 2 years ago. She was the female lead during that time, while Yuan Rui was assigned to an insignificant side character, he acted as a model that was barely on screen.

Before the filming started, just as Yuan Rui finished his makeup and was putting on hair gel in front of the mirror, Yang Lu came in. He quickly stood up to greet her.

Yang Lu nodded back, she asked, “Are you in a good state right now? Don’t have another accident again.”

Yuan Rui promised her, “I won’t, Director Yang. I’ll definitely do good.” F9VG5I

Yang Lu simply gave him an “mn” then added on, “Wear something warmer, the winds quite harsh today and we’ll be doing a lot of outdoor activities.”

Yuan Rui showed his surprise from her kindness very visibly.

Yang Lu furrowed her brows, “It’ll affect the recording again if you get sick, don’t drag everyone else down.”

Another person came, it was one of the special guests, the actress. She quickly greeted Yang Lu when she realized her presence. She said, “I’ve worked with Yuan-Ge before, we haven’t seen each other for a long time so I came to say hello.” k3tgu

Yuan Rui said from the side, “……Oh, hello hello.”

The actress made some standard polite remarks, along with things like “please look after me today”, then left.

Once she was gone, Yang Lu asked him, “It’s there something wrong between you two?”

Yuan Rui was evasive for a moment, then stated, “No, we just haven’t seen each other for a long time so I felt a bit weird.” eA8y h

Yang Lu had doubts about his explanation, but she didn’t continue to ask. “Then get ready soon, I’m going to check up on the others.”

Yuan Rui watched her back as she walked away. He realized that she was quite tall. Even with flat-soled shoes, she looked to be around 175cm. Though her build wasn’t that big, both her physique and skin were nicely taken care of. It wouldn’t be hard to believe if someone said she was only 30 to 40 years old.

Zhao Zhengyi, who didn’t dare to let out a sound as he shrunk himself away on the side earlier asked, “Yuan-Ge, what happened between you and that Xiao Hua? Even I could tell how awkward you seemed.”

Yuan Rui was a bit embarrassed to say, “It wasn’t that big of a deal honestly. It’s just that when we were on the same set, she poured juice on me before.” FRjiLH

“……Was it written in the script?”

“No, she brought her cat to the set. I was helping the crew clean up when I didn’t have any other scenes. I didn’t see the cat so I accidentally stepped on its tail, then she got mad.”

Zhao Zhengyi was very angry, “She’s just a mere C-list celebrity, who gave her that much face? Why were you so polite to her too?”

Yuan Rui didn’t mind it too much, “It’s from a long time ago.” lvd Tg

Zhao Zhengyi got more pissed the more he thought about it. “Don’t be such a saint. If you don’t fight back against that kind of person, she’s not going to accept your good intentions. She’ll probably think you’re stupid too.”

Yuan Rui smiled though. “I know that the people I’ve worked with before all call me dumb behind my back.”

“……”

Yuan Rui continued, “And actually, after the juice accident, she came back to apologize once she cooled down. I’m not a kid anymore, there’s no way I would insult or pour juice back on the person just because they did it once, right? If some think I’m dumb or think I’m unlikeable, then I’ll just not hang around them. I won’t go around to bathe in their resentment. Won’t everything be fine then? After all, jobs in the entertainment circle go around in such a large area. It’s not like we’re in an office where we see each other every day from nine to five.” AHnT1g

Zhao Zhengyi didn’t know what to say to him. “You really are, really…”

Yuan Rui took out a Fujiya brand lollipop from his pocket and handed it to him, then also opened one to eat himself.

He continued to speak as he chewed on the candy, “The only ones who I have to interact with every day are you and Lingling-Jie, you both treat me pretty good. Even Director Yang, although she is a bit strict, she even told me to put on some more clothes today in case I catch a cold. That was what my mom was like when she was still alive. She was my homeroom teacher in middle school, she would always scold me in front of everyone at school, but then also snuck in delicious food for me.”

Zhao Zhengyi was afraid he might bring up sad stuff so he quickly asked, “Do you have more candy? Give me another one, it’s quite good.” 7i2yRV

Yuan Rui felt his pocket, strong unwillingness shot out of his eyes as he spoke pitifully, “I only have one left…can I not give it to you? I still want one.”

“……Of course, of course.”

Zhao Zhengyi could only imagine how Yuan Rui acted at home. Mr. Zheng must be so overwhelmed by his cuteness everyday that he doesn’t know how to function.

A makeup artist passed by Yuan Rui’s dressing room while carrying a case, she spoke in surprise, “Director Yang? You…” rjSd4a

Yang Lu glanced at her, then left with a stone face.

The production of the idol drama with Yuan Rui and Le Ningyu was finally complete. Although it was scheduled to be released next summer, the investors were impatient for the profits to come in, so they sold the rights to broadcast to a local channel that would start releasing it this week.

Yuan Rui had a digital television at home, but he didn’t have the connection for the channel. After taking the time to doll it up with a local antenna, they finally found the channel.

Now he had something to do at night. He would eat as he sat on the sofa to watch his own show. It was the first time he had ever gotten such a major role. It was quite fresh for him to see himself saying that many lines on TV, it made him very happy too. XEZJsH

Zheng Qiuyang watched it with him. Sometimes he would say things like, “The second male lead’s so good at acting.” “Compared to the second male lead, the male lead’s a complete squash.” “I can’t, I can’t, the second male lead is going to kill me with his handsomeness!” “Damn, so hot.” The comments kept Yuan Rui’s face red the entire time. During commercial breaks, the two would kiss each other continuously. They were cheesy to the extreme.

One time when Fang Shiqing came to freeload on their food for a night. He hadn’t even watched the TV for 20 minutes when he shouted, “Fuck, you two are so shameless! I’m going to be blind if I don’t leave now!” Then, he escaped. At home, he complained about it to Wang Qi for half of the night, swearing that he’s never going to their place alone to be tortured again.


T/N: “I only have one left…can I not give it to you? I still want one.” 

omg Yuan Rui remembers Zheng Qiuyang’s advice on not always giving others what he needs, hohoho  IjwXfK

Translator's Note

I’ve never seen this movie before, but from the short summary I found, I can see the reason for this joke LMAO
Summary: “A moving love story about a photographer on assignment to shoot the historic bridges of Madison County. He meets a housewife, whose husband and children are away on a trip, and the film traces a brief affair that is never sordid but instead one of two soul mates who have met too late.”
