Superstar, No Big Deal?!Ch13 - The Anger and Puzzlement of Luo Yanqian

“Big brother, you’re so boring.” said the white-robed teenager, lounging lazily in a recliner. He brought his fan up to his face, and began to fan himself.

“Okay, cut!” Even as a well-known director in China, Lin Yiqian didn’t expect the new person to perform so well. His acting skills did not fade even in comparison to Xiao Qishen. It was impossible for such a person in this circle to not gain a place in this industry. 0XIY4J

Xiao Qishen’s acting skills were not considered to be the best of the best. It’s just that in this industry, having top acting skills didn’t necessarily guarantee someone a spot at the top. A so-called superstar did not necessarily have the best acting skills and the best singing skills. What they must have is the ability to act, sing, and wear many masks.

Xiao Qishen was such a character. He had everything a superstar should have, and had a background that other artists didn’t have.

For over a decade, only one person in his industry was not only a master in acting and singing, but also had an incomparable position. However, he died in such a dismal way.

“Director,” his assistant saw him lost in thought. “what should be prepared next?” rHIOqy

Lin Yiqian looked at his wristwatch. “We’ll break for now. Get ready for tonight’s night-scene.” He went to Shan Yatong and Xiao Qishen. “Today’s condition was good. Yatong’s first performance was great.”

Shan Yatong’s blushed slightly. “Thank you, director.” No one could believe that this young man had just acted like a wilful and lazy son of nobility.

Xiao Qishen said with a smile, “Yatong, do you really have no experience with acting?”

Shan Yatong met Xiao Qishen’s gaze. “I don’t.” There wasn’t much of an explanation to his words, just a faint smile and a hint of shyness. But even in that moment, Xiao Qishen felt like he saw a flash of coldness from the young man’s eyes.

Xiao Qishen didn’t mind. He took the drink from his assistant, and handed it to Shan Yatong. “Do you want it?”

Shan Yatong took it. “Thank you, Xiao-Ge.” Before he could unscrew the bottle cap, he saw Yang Jun coming towards him with his mobile phone. He apologized to Xiao Qishen with a smile. Taking the mobile phone, he took another two steps forward. The caller ID was an unknown number.

Looking at the display in the call, Shan Yatong looked at Yang Jun. Gripping the mobile phone, he lifted it to his ear. “Hello, this is Shan Yatong speaking.”

“Yatong, have you been transferred to Sky Crown?” Shan Yatong could hear the anxious voice coming from the phone, recognizing Luo Yanqian. RHJvxK

He was doubtful; did Luo Yanqian really call just to discuss this?

“En, why?” He asked indifferently.

There was a pause, and the anxious questioning continued. “How’s your treatment at Sky Crown?”

“I don’t know.” Shan Yatong looked at Lin Yiqian and Xiao Qishen who were not too far away from him. “At the moment, no one from Sky Crown has opened discussions with me.” b6k3EO

“It doesn’t matter.” Shan Yatong said with a faint smile. “Aren’t you recording a program today? Why did you call me?”

From Shan Yatong’s obvious change of topic, Luo Yanqian growled. “Yatong, can you take this seriously?”

Shan Yatong could hear the low growl of Luo Yanqian from the phone, as well as the quiet urging of a TV crew from the background on the other end of the phone. He said, “I am very serious, Luo Yanqian. You focus on recording your program. We will talk when you’re done recording.” A8spRm

Xiao Qishen watched from the corner of his eyes, as Shan Yatong closed the phone cover. Shan Yatong was squinting, which was a very different look to the bashful shy appearance the teenager had just now.

He walked up to his side, and rested a hand on Shan Yatong’s shoulder. “Yatong, where are you going to eat later? ” He saw that the call on the phone was an unknown number.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“Xiao-Ge?” Shan Yatong’s mouth parted in obvious surprise, taken off-guard by Xiao Qishen suddenly leaning on his shoulder. “Are you referring to lunch?”

His other hand pressed the phone’s sleep button. Xiao Qishen patted him on the shoulder. “Yeah. If you have no place to go, you can come with me.” He turned to Lin Yiqian. “Director Lin, we’ll be going ahead first.” CXkjYq

Xiao Qishen dragged Shan Yatong to the dressing room to change out of his costume, then brought him to Xian Qishen’s car. Shan Yatong was confused. When did the entertainment world’s Heavenly Emperor become so enthusiastic about small artists?

Xiao Qishen started playing a French song in his car, suddenly reminding Shan Yatong that Xiao Qishen even spoke up on a TV program, confessing that he liked Jing Anjue the most. He couldn’t help but laugh coldly on the inside. This man probably didn’t even know what kind of movies he’s acted in or songs that he’s sung.

“Xiao-Ge, is Jing Anjue your favourite?” Shan Yatong chuckled. “I also love his movies.”

“Jing Anjue?” Xiao Qishen was surprised. Then he asked, “You like him?” wKXgW4

Shan Yatong turned to look out the window. “Mm.” He hummed in agreement.

Xiao Qishen remembered the mistakes he made last night when drawing for a question. Originally he was supposed to answer that he liked Jing Anjue the best, and then perform the iconic flower picking and smile scene. But Xiao Qishen did not like being in other people’s shadow, so he did not draw that question. He had thought maybe Luo Yanqian would receive it, but he did not expect Shan Yatong to get the question. However, it was only then that he saw once again how special the young man was.

“You like French cuisine, right?” Xiao Qishen continued to search for a topic to talk about.

Shan Yatong looked from the window to Xiao Qishen in confusion. When did he ever say he liked French food? nUkFYK

Xiao Qishen raised an eyebrow, and explained himself. “Yesterday you went to a French restaurant with Luo Yanqian for dinner. It was photographed by the media.” As for the content of the media report, you don’t even have to guess what melodrama was reported.

“And then was it rumoured that I’m gay with Luo Yanqian?” Shan Yatong asked rhetorically, not the slightest bit surprised.

Xiao Qishen kept his eyes directed in front, so he did not see the chill in Shan Yatong’s eyes. “You don’t have to worry. No one will believe such minor tabloid stories.”

Shan Yatong wanted to know, why exactly did he know of such a small and insignificant report? He responded wordlessly, and ducked his head, no longer talking. 9p4WQ2

Xiao Qishen noticed that Shan Yatong addressed Luo Yanqian distantly with his full name. For some reason, this filled him with a sense of relief. “What do you like, if not French cuisine?”

Shan Yatong really could not understand this Xiao Qishen. A heavenly figure did not need to be so kind to small artists, did he?

Did the media pay attention to things like caring for the younger generation?  Even so, he didn’t have to do that.

“I don’t particularly dislike it.” said Shan Yatong with a smile. He took out his cell phone and turned it on. sLNPjA

Seeing his action, Xiao Qishen asked, “You’re not afraid the company won’t be able to reach you?”

Before Shan Yatong could answer, the phone rang again. He lowered his head and watched eleven numbers flash back and forth on the screen. He pressed the answer key.

“Shan Yatong!” The voice from the phone was furious.

Shan Yatong rubbed his ear. “What’s wrong with you?” BYryH7

“Where are you right now? I’ll come find you.” The person on the other side of the phone seemed to be trying to suppress their anger.

“You didn’t record your show?” Shan Yatong was slightly surprised.

“Stop messing around. Where are you?” Obviously the man had very little patience. His anger was still clear through his words.

“I’m in the car right now.” said Shan Yatong, rubbing his forehead. “You’re going to cause a lot of trouble if you don’t finish the show recording…” psi9cw

“In whose car?” The man on the other end of the phone didn’t give him a chance to talk.

“Xiao-Ge. I’m going to get lunch with him.” Shan Yatong smiled. He glanced at the seemingly serious driver.

There was a click, and then a beeping sound from the other end of the phone, the call ending abruptly. Shan Yatong looked at his phone. What was this situation?

Did the people of the entertainment industry really become this strange in just four years time? JXuaPU

“I’ve thought about it. How about going for Western cuisine?” Xiao Qishen smiled, tilting his head to ask Shan Yatong, who was still in a daze staring at his phone.

“Ah, yes.” Shan Yatong agreed, putting his phone back inside his coat pocket. Forget it, this teenager was a popular youngster. It’s normal to be a little weird.

“Your friend seemed angry?” Xiao Qishen steered the car, taking a turn. “Did you guys have a fight?”

Shan Yatong scratched his head and looked a little helpless. “N-no…” 2nrTL8

Xiao Qishen didn’t continue to press. In this industry, it was taboo to ask in detail in order to get to the bottom of things. Just because he admired the young man did not mean he had to know everything about him.

But he can guess a little, and that was enough.

On the other end, Luo Yanqian threw his cell phone to his assistant and stood up with a calm face. “Now you can start recording the show!”

The staff standing next to him eagerly led him backstage. Their program was not very popular. They were able to invite Luo Yanqian this time, all thanks to some personal connections. But looking at his expression, Luo Yanqian did not seem very happy. Still, it was best he tried not to offend this popular artist. 3zntQw

Luo Yanqian walked along the dark backstage corridor in a daze. What was there for him to be angry or worried about?

It was Shan Yatong’s own decision. What was he irritated about, and what could he even worry about?
