Chapter 31: Transmigrated into a D-List Nobody (Part Five)

"Shu Xian, online rumors say you're a fan of Film Emperor An. Now that your idol is right here, don't you want to say something to him?"

As soon as Chen Feifei finished speaking, An Kongyu looked his way.

Seriously, lady, are you trying to make the atmosphere even more awkward?

The entire entertainment industry knows that Shu Xian has been riding on the film emperor's coattails for clout.

What is he supposed to say? Force out some compliments?

He hasn't even watched any of the film emperor's work.

Shu Xian quietly shifted his crossed legs down and put on his shoes.

He intended to salvage his image in front of Film Emperor An.

"Don't be shy, go ahead and say something."

"Maybe the film emperor can fulfill your wish," Chen Feifei encouraged him.

Chen Feifei and Film Emperor An had picked a rule: they could not refuse each other's requests.

For the sake of popularity, Chen Feifei was willing to risk being criticized to secure this wave of clout.

This was her chance to break into the entertainment industry.

"Um, I don't want to say anything. I don't want to cause any trouble for Film Emperor An."

"As long as Film Emperor An is doing well, I'm happy."

Heh, clever me.

An Kongyu didn't expect Shu Xian to say that and raised an eyebrow in surprise.

It seemed this Shu Xian wasn't as bad as the rumors online made him out to be.

"An Kongyu's 'Gaze' progress: 1"

Hearing 006's notification, Shu Xian felt a bit excited. This was a good start.

Shu Xian's response made Chen Feifei lose face. His answer made her seem like she was just stirring up trouble.

Chen Feifei shot Shu Xian an unhappy glare and then asked:

"Shu Xian, I'm curious. You have no popularity, no credits—how did you get onto this show?"

Oh, he could tell this girl was up to no good from the start.

Alright, alright, watch me take you down.

"What does it matter if I have credits or popularity? I'm single, so why can't I be here?"

"Besides, this is a dating show, not an audition, big sis."

Shu Xian's "big sis" made Chen Feifei snap.

"Who are you calling 'big sis'?"

Chen Feifei was so angry she stood up.

"Whoever is older, I call them that."

Shu Xian picked at his nails, acting all nonchalant.

This attitude made Chen Feifei even angrier.

"You nouveau riche poser, coming to a dating show just to chase clout."

"Quite the rhyme, keep going."

Shu Xian made a "please continue" gesture.

"You even delude yourself into thinking Film Emperor An would like you. Dream on."

"Spending your parents' hard-earned money to chase stars—your parents drew the short straw when they had you."

Seeing Shu Xian fall silent, Chen Feifei felt a bit better after getting that off her chest.

Shu Xian raised his hand and extended his index finger:

"First, I don't want Film Emperor An to like me."

"Second, I came to this show because my parents donated ten million for charity, and the producers invited me."

(Of course, in the original story, he came for Film Emperor An.)

"Third, my family is very rich. Have you ever seen a Black Card?"

Shu Xian took out a Black Card and flashed it in her face.

"Ugh, it's such a pain. I've got three. Can't even spend it all."

"You..."

Chen Feifei's face turned red with anger.

She thought Shu Xian was a soft, easy-to-bully nouveau riche, but he turned out to be a tough nut to crack.

"Acquiring An Kongyu's 'Gaze' progress +5, current progress: 6"

Wow.

Film Emperor An also enjoys watching people get put in their place?

"You're quite different from the rumors."

An Kongyu said to Shu Xian.

"Ah, just a victim of bad press."

Shu Xian glanced at Chen Feifei and replied.

Chen Feifei was too angry to retaliate and could only stomp downstairs, her heels clacking angrily.

Only the three of them remained on the rooftop.

"I heard you're my fan?"

"Yeah, you could say that."

"Which of my works do you like?"

Is this a pop quiz now?

"006, quick! Tell me his works."

"His works include 'Chasing the Wind at Night,' 'Goodbye,' 'Hello,' and others."

"What's 'Chasing the Wind at Night' about?"

Just to be safe, Shu Xian asked.

"It's about an autistic protagonist who enjoys cycling at night."

"Okay."

"I like 'Chasing the Wind at Night.'"

Shu Xian said with complete confidence, ready for any follow-up.

"Oh? That one is from years ago. Do you like the latest one?"

An Kongyu asked again.

"006, which one? Hurry!"

"Sorry, host. You only have three chances per day to ask about your 'gaze' collection target."

What the?!

"But I haven't asked three times yet."

That was only twice just now!

"Host, you also asked today why there was no mission for An Kongyu this morning."

Shu Xian wanted to scream.

"That counts?!"

"The system counts it automatically."

That's absurd!!!

"What? Don't you like it?"

Seeing him take so long to answer, An Kongyu pressed.

Was it that he didn't like it? He just didn't know!

Shu Xian was frantic.

"That drama is called 'Him and Him.'"

Li Ye leaned close to Shu Xian's ear and said.

"That 'Him and Him'? It's pretty good."

Shu Xian gave Li Ye a grateful look.

"Oh? Which male lead do you prefer?"

?

Which male lead? It's a double male lead drama?

"It's starring me and him."

Li Ye whispered in his ear again.

"So, which one do you prefer?"

Tsk, this is really hard to choose. One is the mission target, and the other is a guy he'd gotten along with all day who was pretty decent.

Kind of a tough spot.

After thinking for a moment, Shu Xian looked up and found both of them staring intently at him.

"Both of them acted really well. I like them both."

Shu Xian pasted on a sincere smile.

No choice, had to say it that way.

Can't afford to offend anyone.

"If you had to choose a romantic partner, who would you pick?"

Is An Kongyu for real?

"Of course, Li Ye, because I haven't had much interaction with you yet."

That answer should be fine, right?

"An Kongyu's 'gaze' collection progress +4. Current progress: 10"

Huh?

Does he like it when I don't choose him?

Got it, got it.
