Chapter 30 Transmigrated into a D-List Celebrity IV

Chapter 30: Transmigrated into an Eighteen-Line Nobody (Part Four)

Once he finished the cake, Shu Xian got sleepy and slowly fell asleep against Li Ye's shoulder.

Outside the window, the big tree rustled softly in the gentle breeze, while the noon sun blazed down fiercely on the earth.

It was quiet, with a layer of white noise.

Li Ye looked over at the guy sleeping peacefully beside him.

His delicate features seemed quite well-behaved beneath that head of colorful hair.

With such an innocent appearance, was he just as colorful on the inside?

Shu Xian was out cold, and gradually, because of him, Li Ye also began to feel sleepy.

He leaned his head back against the sofa and, listening to Shu Xian's breathing, fell asleep as well.

They were holding hands, with Shu Xian resting his head on Li Ye's shoulder.

If you looked closely, Li Ye had slouched down a bit to make Shu Xian more comfortable.

It was a beautiful scene.

The cameraman captured it all, both filming and recording.

They slept like that until the afternoon.

Shu Xian was the first to wake up—woken up by hunger.

He had only eaten a little cake at noon and was now ravenous.

Li Ye, however, was still fast asleep, his head tilted back against the sofa.

Unlike his usual self, the sleeping Li Ye appeared completely non-threatening.

Sweet and well-mannered, like the boy next door.

Shu Xian took out his phone and snapped a few photos of him.

Heh heh, he was so cute.

He couldn't help it and reached out to pinch his cheek.

Then, he playfully took a few selfies with him.

Just as he was getting into it, the person beside him opened his eyes.

Shu Xian jumped, his hand shaking.

"I wasn't taking photos, it was the cameraman!"

Shu Xian tried to cover it up by hiding his phone behind his back and pointing at the cameraman.

Cameraman: ...

"Are you hungry?"

Li Ye didn't call him out and instead asked directly.

"Yes, so hungry. I woke up because I was starving."

"You're hungry too, right?"

Shu Xian rubbed his stomach, feeling like he could eat an entire cow.

"Any dietary restrictions?"

Li Ye asked.

"Huh? Are you going to cook? No restrictions, I eat everything."

Hehe, he was in for a treat—the male lead was cooking for him.

"Cameraman, do we still need to hold hands while cooking?"

Shu Xian asked.

"No, but you have to hold hands while eating."

"Okay, got it."

Shu Xian helped out by washing vegetables and chopping scallions.

Soon, two bowls of egg noodles were ready.

The aroma filled the air.

As soon as they were placed on the table, Shu Xian eagerly dug in.

"Slurp, slurp." He took a couple of big bites.

"Mmm, so good."

"Yeah."

Li Ye's lips curved slightly.

"Here, have the egg. You're too thin, eat more."

Shu Xian picked up the fried egg and placed it in Li Ye's bowl.

Although Li Ye was taller and more muscular than him, in the original story, he was also frail and prone to illness.

Fortunately, this mission didn't require him to do anything malicious to Li Ye.

Since Li Ye was treating him well, Shu Xian decided to take better care of him.

"006, it's great not having to do any malicious tasks."

Shu Xian sighed with relief.

"Who said you don't have to do malicious tasks? You do."

"But isn't it just about getting 'attention' from important characters?"

What malicious things did he still need to do?

"If you want to steal 'attention' from the protagonist uke, don't you have to make the important characters dislike Li Ye so they shift their 'attention' to you?"

006 explained:

That kind of makes sense.

"Can't we get by without playing dirty?"

"Sure, if you're good enough."

Li Ye, the male lead, naturally has the protagonist's halo. Pulling it off without playing dirty would probably be tough.

"All right, I understand."

I'll play it by ear then.

"No, you have it."

Li Ye put the fried egg back into Shu Xian's bowl.

"It's fine, it's fine. Your health isn't great, eat more to build yourself up."

Shu Xian put it back again, then moved his bowl to the other side to prevent Li Ye from returning it.

"Fine, just eat it."

Two grown men passing food back and forth doesn't look good.

"Okay, thank you."

Li Ye lowered his head and started eating.

Then he added, "But my health is very good."

If you know, you know. Shu Xian automatically ignored the latter part.

"Don't mention it. I should be thanking *you* for making the noodles."

The variety show was updated daily with a new episode.

To gather more material, filming followed a twelve-hour schedule.

Recording started at 8 a.m. and ended at midnight.

Then the staff worked overnight to edit, and the show started airing at 8 a.m. the next day.

It was the first time anyone had seen a variety show air so early, and this one was designed to be replayed throughout the day.

Even so, many people were willing to rewatch it twice, three times.

Don't ask why; the answer is always good editing.

The audience loves it.

Fans keep revisiting the CP moments, getting more and more hooked.

"Shu Xian, try to do more things so it's easier to edit in post-production."

The director told him.

Actually, there was already plenty of material, but the cameraman wanted even more.

To get the audience hooked in an instant.

"Got it."

"The weather outside is nice, wanna go up to the roof and look at the stars?"

Li Ye was washing the dishes, and Shu Xian asked from beside him.

"Mhm."

Shu Xian watched Li Ye wash the dishes, feeling such a domestic vibe.

He had originally intended to wash them himself, but Li Ye insisted it wasn't necessary.

To avoid looking like he wasn't doing anything, he stood beside Li Ye to keep him company.

"All done."

Shu Xian pulled out two napkins and handed them to him.

"Your Highness, please dry your hands."

"Hmm?"

"Let's go."

Seeing his hands were dry, Shu Xian grabbed his hand and led him towards the rooftop.

To make the filming look good, the rooftop had been decorated early by the director's team.

There were sofas, camping chairs, tents, and mats spread on the floor.

Rows of twinkling lights hung from above.

The atmosphere was just perfect.

"Wanna lie down and look at the stars?"

Shu Xian took off his shoes and was about to lie on the floor.

"You just ate. Sit for a bit first."

Li Ye held him back.

"Uh, okay."

Shu Xian sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, and Li Ye sat down beside him.

"Tired? Do you want me to hold your hand?"

He just realized that Li Ye had been the one holding his hand all day, even during the meal.

"It's fine, I'm not tired."

Shu Xian's hand was small and soft, very pleasant to hold.

That was Li Ye's first thought after holding his hand.

"Oh, hey! You guys are up here too?"

A woman in impeccable makeup and attire walked up in high heels.

She is the rising starlet Chen Feifei, who's big into cosplaying all sorts of characters.

It's not just very similar—it's practically identical.

She is the goddess in the hearts of many men.

Right behind her came Film Emperor An, An Kongyu.

He started acting at twenty and is now twenty-five, having won the title of Film Emperor for five consecutive years.

He is a veteran of the entertainment industry, yet still single to this day, pressured by his family to join a dating show.

His fans are also highly vocal, hoping he and Li Ye will spark some chemistry.

Chen Feifei and An Kongyu sat down opposite the other two.

"Hello."

"Hello."

"Hello."

"Hello."

After the four exchanged greetings, a silence fell...

Pretty awkward.

"Mission: Steal An Kongyu's 'gaze'."

"Current Progress: 0"

"Why wasn't the mission issued this morning?"

"Because the system didn't identify the person this morning."

...

An Kongyu was sitting near me this morning—how could it not detect him?

That's a bit ridiculous.
