Pretty and Flirtatious Cheap Good Chen Liguo [5]
The oyster sauce choy sum was very delicious, and Chen Liguo ate very happily.
Xie Anhe, the host, didn’t move his chopsticks very much and continuously helped Chen Liguo peel shrimps.
The shrimps here were all fresh, shipped through the air. Unfortunately, Chen Liguo has already become lazy to the extent hated by both man and god——If Xie Anhe didn’t peel them, he would probably put the shrimp in his mouth and chew it together with the shell then swallow it into his stomach.
The atmosphere of the meal was very harmonious. Ultimately, Chen Liguo’s belly began to bulge slightly so he reluctantly put down his chopsticks. If Liu Shasha found out, he would be scolded again.
Xie Anhe asked, “Are you full?”
Chen Liguo nodded.
Xie Anhe said, “Then accompany me for a walk?”
Chen Liguo felt that it was good for helping him to digest so he nodded.
Xie Anhe paid the bill and went out with Chen Liguo. Chen Liguo’s stomach was heavy, even his brain wasn’t working very well and if Xie Anhe said something it would take him a while to react.
Xie Anhe didn’t mind Chen Liguo’s sluggishness. If Chen Liguo didn’t respond he would repeat it gently once or twice until Chen Liguo responded.
Just as the two left the restaurant and were about to get into the car, the shadow of a person rushed out from the roadside.
“Xie Anhe, you’ve won!!!” Chen Liguo was very familiar with that voice. It was definitely the voice of Chen Hengwei which he heard before. Chen Liguo’s gossip radar biubiu sounded and his mind instantly sobered up.
Chen Hengwei stood before Xie Anhe with tears in his eyes. He said with gnashed teeth, “Don’t touch Xiao Wei, I’m willing to be with you.”
Xie Anhe: “????”
Chen Liguo: “……” Yi? How come he feels that several question marks appeared above Xie Anhe’s head?
Chen Hengwei stood before Xie Anhe with a wry smile. “I originally thought that you really had no interest in me like you had said. But if so, why have you found a substitute? Xie Anhe, you’re really not like a man at all.”
Xie Anhe furrowed his brows. He said, “Chen Hengwei, are you sick?”
Chen Hengwei said, “You don’t have to pretend anymore——Even if Sun Qingyi is like me, he isn’t me!”
Chen Liguo looked on from the side, his eyes as bright as a bell of copper and was just short of peddling melon seeds, peanuts, and drinks.
Xie Anhe laughed at Chen Liguo’s infuriating peanut gallery expression and reached out and tapped his forehead. “You’re not angry and are even this excited?”
Only then did Chen Liguo realize that his expression was too obvious. Ai, being able to go slightly out of character in this world simply wasn’t good……. Even his acting skills were regressing.
Chen Liguo quickly changed his expression into a pitiful expression and said, “Mister Xie, who is this? Do you have something going on? If there is, I’ll take my leave.”
Chen Hengwei said coldly, “Leave.”
White lotus Chen Liguo looked at Chen Hengwei and said with a bitter laugh, “Mister Xie, then I’ll take my leave.”
“I didn’t tell you to leave!!” Xie Anhe was nearly angered into laugher by Chen Liguo’s reaction. He grabbed Chen Liguo’s hand and turned his head to look at Chen Hengwei, saying, “Chen Hengwei, do you still remember what I told you before?”
Chen Hengwei said, “Xie Anhe——I know my wrongs!”
He had been taught a lesson in private after rushing in to find Xie Anhe last time. Later, Xie Anhe didn’t come to see him either and found someone to tell him that if he saw him appear before him again in the future, he’ll have him scram out of the entertainment circle.
Naturally, Chen Hengwei inevitably took this threat as Xie Anhe’s interest in him. After all, Xie Anhe had chased him so hard at that time, simply as if he wanted to hold up the world with both hands in front of him.
Fed up, Xie Anhe said, “You can scram now.”
Chen Hengwei’s eyes widened.
White lotus Chen Liguo watched on from the side with keen interest. He liked this kind of melodramatic ‘he is my substitute, in the end, do you love him or love me’ plot the most——He felt that if he were eating, he can even eat a few more bowls.
Chen Hengwei said angrily, “Xie Anhe, don’t regret this——Sun Qingyi, you’re really shameless!!”
Chen Liguo who was scolded for being shameless had tears in his eyes. He did not fight with Chen Henwei and turned his head to look at Xie Anhe.
Chen Liguo’s eyes were full of tears and his expression anxious. He perfectly played a weak and pitiful role. “Mister Xie, I’m sorry.”
Xie Anhe pulled Chen Liguo along and left. Before he left, he gave Chen Hengwei a glare.
Chen Liguo’s heart was excited and he thought about how he would share this gossip with Liu Shasha later.
Xie Anhe got onto the car and buckled his seat belt then suddenly asked, “Liu Shasha really likes listening to this stuff?”
Chen Liguo blurted out, “Yeah, yeah, she just loves gossip.” When he finished speaking, he realized that he let his tongue slip and at once, let out two tears of embarrassment.
Xie Anhe said, “You’re so excited you’re even crying?”
Chen Liguo: “……” They are tears of sadness about being a substitute thank you very much.
Xie Anhe wiped away Chen Liguo’s tears with his fingers and said, “Read the script properly, it’s about to start.”
Chen Liguo said pitifully, “Mister Xie, this one understands.”
Xie Anhe seemed to be a little helpless towards this appearance of Chen Liguo’s and said, “It’s a misunderstanding about Chen Hengwei and I. I don’t like him——”
Chen Liguo pretended to not care. In fact, even his ears stood up. “Oh.”
He waited for Xie Anhe to continue speaking but who would have thought that this elder brother would look at Chen Liguo with a profound look and say, “Since you don’t want to hear, I won’t say it.”

The system indifferently said, “You still need to taste shit before knowing whether it tastes good or not?”
Chen Liguo: “……” Trash system are you able to speak properly? Are? You? Able? To?
Their walk interrupted by Chen Hengwei who popped up suddenly. Xie Anhe’s mood was a little bad and he was quiet the entire way. It wasn’t until they were almost at Chen Liguo’s home that he seriously said to Chen Liguo, “Qingqing, I really do want to pursue you.”
Chen Liguo bit his lips and looked down at his own fingers.
Xie Anhe saw this and sighed helplessly. “Go on.”
Chen Liguo twisted his bum and got off the car.
He originally thought that Xie Anhe was only joking when he said that he wanted to fix Chen Hengwei up. But not even two days later, news about Chen Hengwei taking drugs burst out——To be accurate, it was taking illegal drugs, but at this time, no one cared about what it was that he did specifically. In any case, he and his girlfriend were said to have been reported by enthusiastic neighbors and were then gotten rid of completely by the police.
Because the entertainment industry in this world was extremely advanced, the demand for stars in this respect was pretty high. A single case of illegal things such as taking drugs, prostitution, and so on getting exposed and the star would be basically abandoned.
At this moment, Chen Liguo was nesting on the sofa reading the script. His eyes were shaped into walnuts again from crying. The lacrimal glands in this body really were poisonous. Chen Liguo had cut himself when peeling an apple, and although he didn’t feel anything, his tears began to fall automatically.
Liu Shasha who came to find Chen Liguo was already used to her family’s actor’s recent haggard appearance. She found a bag of chips and supervised Chen Liguo as she ate them.
“How do you feel about the script?” Liu Shasha asked Chen Liguo.
Chen Liguo had already read the script several times. The shooting would start in a few weeks. He said, “Almost.”
Liu Shasha said, “En, I believe in you roar.”
Chen Liguo grit his teeth and said pitifully, “But, but this one is so scared of Xie Anhe oh.”
Liu Shasha said, “What are you afraid for? He’s not the kind of person who forces others.” When she said this, she felt a little guilty. Xie Anhe really wouldn’t do something like force Chen Liguo but if he really wanted Chen Liguo to give in, there was no lack of means.
Even with Chen Liguo’s current position, he can’t beat him.
“Fortunately, the nude scenes have been deleted.” Chen Liguo said. “Otherwise this one wouldn’t know what to do.” That nude scene was really erotic. He very good for nothingly became hard from reading many times and then even more good for nothingly went to the washroom to rub.
Chen Liguo said to the system, “Ai, feels like I’ve returned back to the time when I read those little yellow books back in high school.”
The system asked, “Were they good?”
Chen Liguo said, “Good ne.”
The system said, “Fortunately it’s been deleted ne.”
Chen Liguo: “……”
System: “M-u-ah”
Chen Liguo: “……” Can you stop talking?
Liu Shasha said, “Oh, is that so.” Her eyes were a little shifty but Chen Liguo didn’t notice.
Chen Liguo said, “No matter how it is, this is a good script. This one must work hard.”
Liu Shasha’s expression became heavy. She patted Chen Liguo on the shoulder and said, “Darling, elder sister will always love you.”
Chen Liguo: “……” Elder sister, why is your expression so heavy.
A few weeks later, the filming of Shadow Lantern began.
At the same time, Chen Liguo’s new movie was a bit hit. Not only was the box office astonishing, it even received a tide of positive reviews. Chen Liguo left a line of thanks to everyone and in just one short hour, it received more than 30 million comments. His eyes almost fell off.
Chen Liguo: “There are 700 million people in this country, right?”
The system said, “That’s right.”
Chen Liguo said, “Then that means out of ten people, one likes me?”
The system was very calm and said, “How do you know that they’re not a water army invited for you?”
Chen Liguo: “You even know water army?!”
The system said, “Chen Liguo, you are insulting my IQ.”
Chen Liguo: “I never ever insult things that don’t exist.”
System: “……” Between it and Chen Liguo one would need to die sooner or later.
In any case, when the filming of Shadow Lantern started and Chen Liguo entered the site, almost everyone’s eyes were on him.
Xie Anhe had arrived earlier than him. he sat there and seemed to be reading the script. When he saw Chen Liguo coming, he called out, “Qingyi.”——Contrary to what one might expect, he didn’t call Chen Liguo ‘Qingqing’ in front of others.
Chen Liguo’s attitude was neither hot nor cold. He called out, “President Xie.”
Xie Anhe said, “You’ve come?”
Chen Liguo said, “En, I’m not late am I?”
Xie Anhe said, “Not at all. Since you’ve come let’s get started.”
Chen Liguo thought that this Xie Anhe really was in such a hurry. But half an hour later, he knew why Xie Anhe was in such hurry——Liu Shasha that pit digger, has said that the nude scenes had been deleted. If it had been deleted, why was the director telling Chen Liguo to take off his clothes?
Chen Liguo stared at Liu Shasha who laughed awkwardly. “Hahaha, aiya, how come we’re shooting this as soon as you get on ah?” She had wanted to wait a few days before telling Chen Liguo about how the nude scenes weren’t being deleted. How could she know that Xie Anhe, this beast, would be so anxious?
Liu Shasha said, “Director, do you want to let them have some contact and get the feeling before filming this scene?”
The director said, “Let them find the feeling first.”
Liu Shasha: “……” What feeling, the pleasure of the body?
But although Liu Shasha was a little panicked, the director had the final say in how this film would be shot.
After clearing out the place, without any better option, Chen Liguo took off his clothes and pants, leaving only his underwear.
Contrary to what one might expect, Xie Anhe was much more relaxed than him. As soon as the director gave the signal he stripped until there was nothing left. His body was very good as well and Chen Liguo stole a few glances as well.
This scene was the beginning of their love. Chen Liguo played the bold and unconstrained shou, You Guang while Xie Anhe played the bookworm gong, Li Monian and finally, they couldn’t help but roll together in the plot.
The two changed into their school uniforms and at the director’s ‘action’, the camera began to work.
You Guang’s eyes were full of dense love. This love was very strong. Only teenagers who have never experience their feelings dying could have such a passionate gaze.
You Guang called, “Niannian.”
There was a bit of a blush on Li Monian’s ears. He hung his head and didn’t speak, his eyes still resting on his desk.
You Guang rubbed his chin against Li Monian’s shoulder. His voice was soft carried youthfulness. He gently and cautiously said, “Niannian, I’ll help you rub it.”
Li Monian’s eyes shifted and he pursed his lips, saying, “You Guang, it’s weird.”
You Guang beamed and said, “It doesn’t matter, we’re only going this because we’re good brothers, it’s normal.”
As he spoke he crouched down in front of Li Monian and buried his head between his legs.
The look in Li Monian’s eyes began to become dark and his body became stiff. He grabbed You Guang’s head and said, “You Guang——”
You Guang said unclearly, “Niannian, I like you.”
Li Monian’s expression, however, became somewhat sad.
His desire came out but his soul was empty. Li Monian looked at You Guang’s cheeks that had been dyed a deep red and caressed his lips with his hand. He said, “You Guang, this isn’t right.”
You Guang asked, “Do you want me?”
Li Monian didn’t speak.
You Guang slowly took off his clothes. His body was very beautiful, just like the shining sun, which made Li Monian want to look but made him afraid of burning his eyes as well.
You Guang said, “Li Monian, let’s do it.”
The emotional teenagers embraced each other. Beside them was a big pure white bed, clean, like their love.
——Chen Liguo was also very moved by this kind of love and then shamefully became hard.
Xie Anhe leaned over him, their bodies stuck closely to each other. Although they didn’t really do it, but the touch of their skin and their actions closely resembles sex which made him react.
Xie Anhe looked at Chen Liguo whose face was reddened all over and smiled happily. With his back to the camera, he whispered in Chen Liguo’s ear, “So embarrassed?”
Chen Liguo grit his teeth. His eyes reddened and tears were about to fall.
But when Xie Anhe saw this, he whispered, “You Guang, does it hurt?”
Chen Liguo choked with light sobs and wrapped his arms around Xie Anhe’s shoulder. He said, “It doesn’t hurt.”
Xie Anhe kissed away his tears.
This should have been a very beautiful scene but Liu Shasha who stood to the side felt very sad. She had read the script before and this scene right now was even more beautiful, which made the contrast of the two’s circumstances even more clear.
At the end of the scene, Liu Shasha realized that she was crying. She reached out and wiped away the tears around her eyes and felt a little helpless. “This is the first time I’ve cried from watching a nude scene.”
The director who was beside her laughed, “It’s alright, I want to cry when I see it too. Qingyi’s acting skills truly have become more and more outstanding. And President Xie——This really is an eye-opener for me.” A painful struggle and momentary joy, these two people had enacted this contradiction brilliantly. They were obviously doing a very joyous thing, but none of them showed a smiling expression. You Guang smiled with tears and Li Monian cried with smiles.
The director said, “I was originally still worried, but thinking about it now, it truly was unnecessary.” He took on this script because it was honestly brilliant. But when he heard that Xie Anhe was going to take a part, he was very reluctant. After all, the kind of actor who carried resources into the team might destroy the whole film.
But the director didn’t expect that Xie Anhe’s acting skills not only didn’t lag behind but complemented Sun Qingyi’s.
This scene was paused several times in the middle. However, this was all because the director wanted to find a better angle. After shooting, the director was very considerate and left some time for the two people——They were all men, everyone understood.
Everyone left, leaving only Chen Liguo and Xie Anhe to lie in the bed under the covers and ponder over life.
Xie Anhe asked quietly, “Have you become soft?”
Chen Liguo: “…… Not yet.”
Xie Anhe sighed and took out a cigarette from his clothes bag, “Smoke one?”
Chen Liguo originally couldn’t smoke, but he still accepted it and light a cigarette.
Under the smoke, the expression of the two people were filled with the vicissitudes of life. Xie Anhe said, “I didn’t expect that you would also get hard.”
Chen Liguo: “…… Sorry.”
Xie Anhe said, “The one who should say sorry is me.”
Chen Liguo felt that this conversation was a little strange. It was a little like that kind of embarrassing feeling of two people getting drunk only to wake up to the other person being your best friend.
Xie Anhe saw that the mood had become terrifyingly cold so he said, “I’ve asked my friend to bring back a lot of nail polish for me.”
Chen Liguo: “….. You paint as well?”
Xie Anhe: “……” He was silent for two seconds, seemingly like he didn’t know how to continue the conversation. Finally, he said, “It’s for you.”
Chen Liguo’s gaze drifted into the distance and he said, “Thank you.”
Xie Anhe said, “You’re welcome.”
It was already 15 minutes later when the two of them finally became soft.
Liu Shasha waited outside for the two of them to come out. She originally thought that Chen Liguo was eating a loss in this situation, but why did Xie Anhe’s expression seem even wearier than Chen Liguo’s when they came out, like he had undergone the vicissitudes of life……
Liu Shasha asked Chen Liguo, “What’s the matter?”
Chen Liguo looked at Liu Shasha and said, “It’s nothing, I’m very well.”
Liu Shasha said, “I’m not asking about you, I’m asking what’s the matter with Xie Anhe.”
Chen Liguo spoke rubbish with a deadpan expression, “He also loves nail polish.”
Liu Shasha’s eyes widened and she looked inconceivably at Xie Anhe who wasn’t far away. She had thought that Xie Anhe was the kind of man who was very suitable to be a boyfriend, a very reliable man. Could it be that he was pretending just like Chen Liguo?!
Chen Liguo said, “I recommended bright red to him.”
While the two spoke, Xie Anhe walked over and asked, “What are you talking about?” He indistinctly felt that Chen Liguo wasn’t saying good things about him.
Chen Liguo smiled and said, “I’m telling Liu Shasha that you like bright red nail polish.”
Xie Anhe didn’t think that there was anything amiss with these words and calmly said, “Yes, I think it’s very suitable for white skin.”
Liu Shasha looked as if she had seen a ghost.
Chen Liguo said, “Let’s go, us two will go act a scene.”
Xie Anhe still didn’t know that he had been blackened by Chen Liguo. He nodded and walked away with Chen Liguo.
Liu Shasha looked at the retreating figures of the two people and somehow made out the flavor of ‘besties’ flavor……
It was said that tragedy was destroying beautiful things for people to see. Shadow Lantern was such a show. It spread out beautiful things before you little by little and then little by little crushed them to pieces.
You Guang gave Li Monian a lamp, saying that this lamp would shine upon their path forward. But when the God of Death took You Guang away from Li Monian, the lamp stopped lighting up.
Neither Chen Liguo nor Xie Anhe were teenagers but the most mystical thing was that the two performed the soul of a youth’s unripeness and cautiousness.
Liu Shasha, as an outsider, naturally saw the most clearly. She could even see the shadow of a boy she had liked in high school in Chen Liguo. She could already imagine how many tears would be murdered when this movie is released.
A day of filming ended and Chen Liguo and Liu Shasha prepared to head home.
Xie Anhe invited them to eat dinner but Chen Liguo said that he was tired and wanted to rest.
Xie Anhe looked Chen Liguo profoundly and said, “Go on then, have a good rest.”
Chen Liguo nodded.
On the car, Liu Shasha asked Chen Liguo if he was very tired today. She felt that Chen Liguo had gotten too into character.
“Yeah.” Chen Liguo said. “I’m a bit tired.”
Liu Shasha was a little worried. She sent Chen Liguo upstairs but couldn’t stop worrying when she went back to the car. She hesitated for a moment before going back upstairs. However, after she opened the door with her spare key she heard ‘en en ah ah’ sounds coming from inside the room.
Liu Shasha: “…… This is your ‘a little tired’?”
Chen Liguo who was busy with putting on his pants asked with horror, “How come you’ve come back Shasha? You’ve scared this one to death.”
Liu Shasha gnashed her teeth, “Can't reprimand you to death.”——Unexpectedly, the first thing you do after going home is to watch porn.
Chen Liguo: “…… This one just wanted to loosen up for a while ma.”
Only then did Liu Shasha discover than Chen Liguo really was loosening up——Taking off his pants on one hand and applying nail polish on the other while watching a yellow film. It was estimated that she wouldn’t see the second in all her life. En, she didn’t want to see the second either.
The Author Has Something to Say:
Nutrient fluid is inflating lalalalala. Everyone quickly come water me ah. The withered author needs to be irrigated _(:з」∠)_ Watching you all guess the plot so sorrowfully makes me want to cry heeheeheehee ♥ Oh right, the Li Monian that the gong is acting out is a bookworm gong ah. The one Chen Liguo is acting is a bold and unconstrained shou, You Guang.
Thank you darlings for the mines, grenades, and rockets, muah. There were a lot of mines today as well. To say again, the author’s notes don’t count in the word count.

They’ve been disabled, (temporarily I think) because it’s suspected that a bot was spamming it, causing the site to crash often :'(
Ahhh okay thanks!
❤️. The fan art is soo good!😖👍
Thanks for the chapter!😚💕🙏
Thanks for the chapter 😚☺
The funniest drama i been read..
You know, I have a feeling that the man Chen Liguo loved in his original world was also transmigrated, he become ML. This Shadow Lantern film perhaps a hint about the relationship between ML and Chen Liguo in their original world. After the death of Chen Liguo, ML, who was actually loved Chen Liguo but pressured to marry a woman by his family, become insane, and when he died system pick him to become a transmigrator.
Im having the same thought too
So I’m thinking that in this world our gong really does want to try something different. Maybe he’s learned from the past world’s that he can’t “force” CL, even though he doesn’t seem to know that it’s because CL cannot go OOC. Therefore, in this world, he’s trying a much more gentle approach?
Since CLG always dies, I have a faint premonition that the movie’s ending will be our CP’s ending this arc…
LMAO this is so f*cking funny I can’t-
Also, the fanart is so delicious! It’s perfect! My mind was instantly refreshed hehe
Thank you very much for the chapter ❤❤❤❤
The fan art is pretty!
Ooooo ml tryna be smooth/soft this time w/o wrecking the mc — maybe the previous world hit hard ah. Also trying to help daughter of fate get resource.
On another note, i find it funny that he has mistaken the substitute as the mc before 😂 like, maybe the body build, and a lil on the personality? Hahahaha so funny ah.
Also, qwq on them filming their tragiv love story ah, the mc acting as the og ml in their og story/world and the ml, vice versa, cri (sadd that thr mc doesn’t think much abt it or connect it to their og love story 😂😅 — jaiyou ml ah)
Chen Liguo you are insulting my IQ
I never insult things that don’t exist…
Hats off.. Chen Liguo 😆😆😆👏👏
The story and its bed scene indeed felt sad…
