Chapter 35 Transmigrated into a D-List Celebrity IX

Chapter 35: Transmigrated as a D-List Nobody (Part Nine)

"I heard from the director they asked you to stay and keep filming. Why didn't you?"

Shu Lin, sitting in the driver's seat, looked at him and asked.

My little brother's been acting kinda weird lately. Why pass up a great opportunity like that?

"Forget it. There aren't any girls I like in there anyway. Continuing wouldn't be interesting."

"Girls? Weren't you there for that An Kongyu?"

Did he stop being a fan? Or did he lose interest after spending time with him?

"I think it's better for fans and celebrities to keep some distance."

"Brother, I'm tired. Can I crash for a bit?"

Shu Xian really didn't want him to ask any more questions—he'd have no answer.

"Yeah, go ahead. I'll wake you up when we're there."

It seems he really did lose interest.

Shu Xian was originally pretending to sleep, but he ended up actually falling asleep.

"We're home."

Shu Lin gently patted his arm.

"Mm."

Shu Xian rubbed his eyes and yawned.

Finally home. Time to start his slacker life.

Their parents had gone traveling, so usually, it was just Shu Lin and Shu Xian living together.

Before, Shu Lin couldn't stand him and basically never came home, preferring to stay at his own place outside.

Now that the two of them were living together, the house didn't feel as cold and empty anymore.

Shu Xian slept until noon before getting up.

He headed to the dining room for lunch.

Passing by the living room, he was startled to see Shu Lin sitting there.

"Brother, aren't you going to work?"

Shu Xian tilted his head and asked.

"No, I'm staying home to keep you company."

*Thank you so much.*

Shu Xian forced a smile.

"You're the best, bro."

"Brother, have you eaten breakfast... lunch yet?"

Shu Lin got up, walked over to him, and pinched his cheek.

"I was waiting for you."

Waiting for him?

"Let's go. The food is ready."

"Mm-hmm."

Shu Xian obediently let himself be led by the hand.

"Shu Lin's 'Gaze' +2. Current Progress: 24/60."

Shu Xian was secretly delighted. This Shu Lin was probably a hidden brother-con.

"Brother, eat more. You work too hard usually."

Shu Xian kept loading up his bowl. The sound of "+1, +1" in his mind made him not want to stop at all.

006's announcements only stopped once the bowl was full.

Shu Xian was practically about to feed him by hand.

"Once you're full, we'll head out."

"Where to?"

"To dye your hair back."

"Okay, whatever you say, brother."

His looks would definitely blow everyone away then.

After all, Shu Lin was so handsome, so he probably wasn't too bad himself, right?

"006, how much of Shu Lin's 'Gaze' did I collect just now?"

"Host collected a total of +15. Current Progress: 39/60."

"Awesome! Not far from 60!"

The two arrived at the styling studio Shu Lin had booked.

"Dye it black. He's still young. Give him a suitable haircut."

Shu Lin pushed him toward the stylist.

"Okay, no problem."

The stylist gave Shu Lin an OK sign.

The studio wasn't open to the public; only VIPs could book appointments for styling.

As for how to become a VIP, that was all about how deep your pockets were.

"Relax, man, after the dye job, I'll give you a super cool haircut."

"Alright, thanks."

Shu Xian's hair was already slathered with the dye; he just needed to wait two hours for it to process.

"Tired?"

Shu Lin had appeared behind him at some point, and Shu Xian only noticed when he looked up into the mirror.

"Not really. Getting bored waiting, bro?"

"So well-behaved, you even care about your brother?"

Of course he was! He was gonna be a considerate little angel~

Shu Lin pinched his cheek, worried the kid was getting restless during the dye job, but here he was, asking about *him*.

"Brother is the most important person besides Mom and Dad."

Shu Xian lifted his eyes to meet his.

"Kid, you sure know how to sweet-talk."

"After your hair is done, I'll take you to the mall. Whatever you want, brother will buy it for you."

Gotta admit, Shu Xian's words really warmed his heart.

No matter what this kid asked for, as long as it wasn't over the top, he'd get it for him.

"Thanks, bro!"

"Shu Lin's 'gaze' +10, current progress: 49/60"

"Brother, you're so handsome."

The notification from 006 made him so excited that he couldn't help but praise Shu Lin again.

"Alright, you little flatterer."

"Shu Lin's 'gaze' +2, current progress: 51/60"

Nice, nice!

Shu Xian happily whipped out his phone and started gaming.

Li Ye was actually online. Shu Xian popped open the chat and shot him a message.

Shu Xian: Bro, carry me~

Li Ye: You didn't say goodbye to me.

Oh, crap, that's right.

He'd been too busy shooting the shit with An Kongyu and totally forgot to say bye to Li Ye.

Shu Xian: Sorry, bro. My brother was rushing me, so I left in a hurry.

Li Ye: Compensation.

Compensation?

Shu Xian: What kind of compensation do you want, bro?

Li Ye: I don't like the word 'bro.'

*(Doesn't like being called bro?)*

Shu Xian: Then... Little Li? Little Ye?

Li Ye: Mm.

Shu Xian: Okay, then Little Ye it is. What compensation does Little Ye want?

Li Ye: Haven't decided yet. I'll invite you first.

Shu Xian: Alright, Little Li Li, carry me to victory.

Time to get carried.

"Li Li, help me beat up that enemy Monkey!"

Shu Xian, playing as a support, was not only targeted and killed by the enemy Monkey but also taunted.

So pissed!

"Xian Xian, follow me."

Li Ye came on voice chat and said to him.

"Coming, coming."

Shu Xian scurried happily after Li Ye.

Li Ye was playing as Lan Ling Wang, stealthily approaching the Monkey from the bushes.

With one combo, the Monkey was left with only a sliver of health.

"Xian Xian, use your second skill to stun him."

Shu Xian, playing as Cai Wenji, immediately ran forward and tapped his second skill. The Monkey was bounced and stunned repeatedly between the jungle monsters.

A notification popped up on screen: Cai Wenji eliminated Sun Wukong.

"So satisfying, hahaha."

Shu Xian immediately taunted the enemy Monkey: Oops, I'm so bad, yet I still managed to kill you.

The enemy Monkey was furious. Who brings stun as an assassin?

If it weren't for Lan Ling Wang's stun, he wouldn't have died.

Monkey: Really showing off to carry your girl.

Cai Wenji: Who's a girl?

After a few games, Shu Xian's experience was top-notch.

Whenever he was bullied by the enemy team, Li Ye would always get revenge for him. Now *that's* a teammate.

The hair dyeing is almost done, time for the wash and cut.

Shu Xian: Li Li bro, I'm dyeing my hair and I'll be washing it soon.

Shu Xian now has a whole arsenal of nicknames for Li Ye, cycling through them without ever repeating one.

Li Ye: Mind if I take a look?

Shu Xian: Sure, I'll show you once it's done.

Li Ye: Okay.

After dyeing, he does look a lot more handsome. Shu Xian preens in the mirror.

"Give me a killer style that'll make me look like the alpha."

"Heh, sure."

The stylist agrees.

Young guys these days look soft and cute but still want to act all tough and cool.

"All done, take a look."

"Miracle worker, Zhang... I mean, stylist."

"Heh, as long as you're happy."

More than happy: a neat, clean-cut black short hairstyle.

With fine strands falling over his forehead, he looks totally alpha when not smiling.

"Brother, how do I look?"

"Very cute."

Even cuter and sweeter than he'd imagined.

"Handsome!"

Shu Xian corrects him.

"Cute."

"Handsome!"

"Cute."

Shu Lin can't help but tease him.

"Brother!"

Shu Xian gets annoyed—cute is for girls.

"Alright, alright, handsome."

"Hmph!"

Shu Xian leans close to his ear and says:

"You're the cute one, brother."

He's a straight guy who's drop-dead handsome!
