Chapter 89 Oh no, this setting is too thrilling!

Chapter 89 Oh no, this setting is too thrilling!

"Bro, what kind of messy plays are you taking on?" Jian Yue frowned, "If you're controlled by capital, just blink."

After hanging up the phone, Huo Xiao tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Is society so open now that even a kissing scene is considered messy?"

"What, do you want to go back to the old days? Let your brain be controlled by the eight-part essay again?"

Jian Yue's expression turned colder, "You're confusing the issue. Openness doesn't mean promiscuity, and it certainly shouldn't use such pornographic methods to retain viewers!"

"A kiss is pornographic?" Huo Xiao raised an eyebrow, "Are you being too rigid in your thinking?"

"Kids are kids, still confined within school walls."

Jian Yue was angry, "Who are you calling a kid? I'm already 17!"

"Oh," Huo Xiao curled his lips, "So you're still a minor, then it's indeed not suitable for you to watch shows meant for adults."

Jian Yue, "You—"

Seeing the argument escalating, Jian Li hurriedly intervened, "It's about time we head back to school, right?"

"Come on, I'll take you."

As he got up, Huo Xiao grabbed his wrist, "I brought a driver, let the driver take you."

Jian Yue, "I don't need you!"

"I'll call a Didi myself!"

Jian Li looked at the night sky and shook his head, "It's too late and not safe, take Brother Xiao's car."

"I don't want to!" Jian Yue resisted, getting up to leave.

Jian Li narrowed his eyes, "What, do I have to get rough and slap you?"

Jian Yue, "..."

He glanced over, instinctively covering his face, looking at Luo Chen with fear, "Alright, I'll take the car."

Feng Yuan, who had witnessed everything, nodded to himself,

It seems using fists is more effective,

I'll try it when I get home.

————

By the time Yuan Feng walked home after drinking several bottles of alcohol, it was nearly one in the morning.

Passing by a barbecue stall outside the neighborhood, he saw a few drunk boys huddled together, whispering to each other.

Their eyes occasionally darted to a certain spot, with a lecherous and sinister look.

Following their gaze, Yuan Feng focused and recognized a very familiar figure,

"Ouch—"

"Isn't that Pei Ji?"

"What's he doing out so late?"

"Don't they know that boys can be in danger too?!"

He muttered to himself, intending to quicken his pace, but then saw those boys moving toward Pei Ji.

"Which school are you from? Let's play together?"

"Have a drink, chat a bit, we're all good guys!"

"Hey, why aren't you talking?"

"Don't be shy—"

Seeing the lecherous men about to put their arms around Pei Ji's neck, Yuan Feng couldn't bear it anymore, made a running start, and was about to charge forward.

But in the next second, he hesitated and pulled back his leg.

Because cries of pain were already coming from not far away.

"You're asking for death—ah, don't hit me! I'm sorry!"

"We were just joking—"

"Ah ah ah ah—"

"It's going to kill someone—"

Realizing what was happening, Yuan Feng rushed over and tightly hugged Pei Ji, "Stop!"

"Keep hitting and it will be excessive self-defense!"

"It's me, I'm your Uncle Yuan!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Pei Ji gradually calmed down,

Yuan Feng roared at the men rolling on the ground, "Haven't you run yet? Do you want me to call the police and report sexual harassment?!"

At these words, they scrambled to their feet and ran off.

The disheveled figures grew more distant, and Yuan Feng let out a long sigh of relief before finally releasing Pei Ji.

"When did you learn boxing? How come I didn't know?!"

It seemed to have a bit of Muay Thai influence, each move was fiercely executed.

The fierce look on Pei Ji's handsome face vanished as he turned, his lips curling into a gentle smile, "How was it, professional enough? I learned at a boxing gym near the school."

"I didn't expect it to be so useful in real combat."

Yuan Feng, "..."

More than useful?

It was practically lethal!

Too brutal!

Noticing Yuan Feng's scrutinizing gaze, Pei Ji immediately lowered his head, his eyelashes trembling slightly, "The neighborhood isn't safe, and Uncle came back so late. I thought they might... So I hit them hard."

"Uncle, you're not angry, are you?"

Yuan Feng, "..."

So he was worried about me,

This silly kid,

Ah, it's my fault!

"I'm not angry, but don't do that again," Yuan Feng patted Pei Ji's shoulder, "We need to be good citizens who follow the law, not advocates of violence."

Next time, let me handle it!

I'll kick his ass within reason!

———

Jian Li hadn't fallen asleep when his agent, Li Lin, dragged him out of bed, "Brother, can you please not be late this time?! We have auditions and fittings today, it's going to be a full day!"

"What play?" Jian Li's mind was still hazy, still reeling from last night's hangover.

"Wang Sisi! Director Wang! The one who just won an international award! She specifically waited for you to finish the dating show before starting production, giving you plenty of face. Don't mess up!"

Audition?

Forceful kiss?

I force-kiss Huo Xiao?!

Jian Li's eyes snapped open, and he threw the towel away, "Whoever wants to go, go ahead, but I'm not going!"

"Whatever the penalty fee is, talk to my lawyer after you calculate it!"

Seeing this, Li Lin burst out laughing in frustration, "Brother Li, do you think this is a talent show?"

"You can't imitate someone like Lu Siqi, the refined egoist!"

"Get up quickly, or do you want your little brother to pay for his own tuition?!"

Jian Li, "..."

Being alone in the previous life was much better!

A little brother is such a money pit!

Half an hour later.

The pride of the nation appeared in the parking lot of a film studio.

Jian Li locked his car and walked in nonchalantly, with Li Lin nagging beside him, "When you audition later, don't rush into acting. First, understand the character and immerse yourself in the emotions!"

"What am I supposed to play again?" Jian Li asked absentmindedly.

"Sentinel! Sentinel! Sentinel!" Li Lin was almost in tears, "How many times have I emphasized this important matter?!"

Jian Li rubbed his ears to ease the sharpness of Li Lin's voice, "What are the characteristics of a sentinel?"

Li Lin took a deep breath and then broke down, "Didn't I send you the script ages ago?! It seems you haven't read it at all?!"

"A sentinel has heightened senses and physical abilities beyond those of ordinary people. After awakening, they tend to be impulsive and require a guide's mental support to calm down!"

Jian Li nodded and asked again, "Can't they manage without the support?"

"No!" Li Lin was pulling his hair in frustration, "That's part of the setting, no one can change it!"

Jian Li rubbed his ears again, "If it can't be changed, what's the fuss about?"

By now, they had entered the studio, and whispers could be heard nearby,

"Oh wow, this setting is so thrilling!"

"The guide can control the senses and enhance tactile stimulation?"

"My goodness, once I imagine Jian Li and Huo Xiao's faces, I get so excited!"

Jian Li, "..."

Why enhance tactile stimulation?!

Though I don't understand it, it doesn't feel like a good thing!
