Chapter 118: Shang Feng Aotian And You Shu Fall!
“Where is he now?”
“Still in Thailand, but he’s frantically calling headquarters… Um, the people we sent have already gone over.”
“Do you think it’s credible?”
“……I think he has a suspicion of shirking responsibility, but headquarters checked his relationships in Thailand and found he didn’t have the ability to cause such a big commotion last time…”
Ji Hemming talked with the agent on the other end while walking toward Young President Liu’s office.
He had recently been possessed by Lao Peng’s bad luck, with water reverse to an unbelievable degree!
Switching to his perspective, one could probably understand Ji Hemming’s mood of having eaten shit.
——I’m one of the Four Great Young Actors, happily being a top streamer in the internal entertainment circle, diving into the film circle, only to be inexplicably exposed for selecting concubines, and finally rumored to like “flattering.”
Is this right?!
This is wrong!
He just has a little fetish, hasn’t provoked anyone, why mess with me? Is liking stinky feet wrong?!
Answer me!
Because of this, Yue Na spent a lot of effort to protect him. Although it seemed he wasn’t affected much in the end and rumors were refuted, the blatant black material still ended up in the rival’s hands, and his reputation became worse than before.
So pissed off.
At this moment, Ji Hemming listened to the content on the phone, his eyes already looking like they wanted to eat someone, as he walked into Young President Liu’s office.
……
Chi Ye didn’t know that Sister Shang had completely given up.
Perhaps he thought Shen Qing Yu would do this, but he had made arrangements early on.
Still that sentence: as long as the shit pot is buckled on your head, who will believe what you say in the future?
It doesn’t matter if Yue Na believes it, it doesn’t matter what they find, after all, such a big incident last time couldn’t leave no traces.
But from beginning to end, what Chi Ye wanted wasn’t for Yue Na to believe, but for others in the industry to believe or be uncertain who exactly did it—this was enough.
As long as it’s uncertain, this is at most gossip for private chats in the industry. Without Chi Ye’s solid evidence to flip the table, the influence would be minimized.
From another angle, Yue Na and Chi Ye are equally mortal enemies—who knows if this is Yue Na trying to mess with Chi Ye, deliberately making him “take the black pot for Shen Qing Yu”?
As for Yue Na… their conflict has long been public. With or without this, they would still make a move to continue messing with Chi Ye.
So, nothing to worry about.
At this moment.
Chi Ye safely passed the dinner time at 《Mushroom House》.
Unlike Shang Youshu, who habitually coaxes herself, he really needed to maintain his figure, especially with 《Xing Ni》 about to start filming—he needed to keep his most perfect external image for profit maximization.
So he didn’t eat much barbecue, nor much dinner.
After dinner, it finally came to the late-night talk therapy segment everyone “looked forward to” the most.
Sister Shang was a bit dazed, but still very loyal, rushing to ask Chi Ye: “Has 《Circulation》 been scheduled for release? When will it air? I’ll cloud package support for you then.”
“Sister Shang is generous!”
Chi Ye smiled: “Not scheduled yet for now, I’ll tell you when it is.”
“Of course.” Sister Shang smiled and nodded, picking up her big tea mug for a sip, her face even redder.
“I heard it’s a ‘soft science fiction’ theme?”
Jiang Cheng stared at Chi Ye from the side, seemingly cueing promotion, but actually sarcastically: “How’s your acting? Chi Ye hasn’t done this genre before, can he handle it?”
What garbage acting skills, idol turned singer actor, six flops in a row glorious record, just got a bit better at singing and now getting cocky, huh?
Chi Ye glanced faintly at him: “Easy to handle, we only have one male lead.”
Jiang Cheng: “…”
“This theme is fresh.” Teacher He smoothed things over from the side, skipping the topic, dutifully promoting for Chi Ye and Ran Qiao: “I’ve never seen a work in this genre before, everyone must pay a lot of attention when it airs.”
“And the song 《Light Years Away》 is also very nice, it’s the theme song for 《Circulation》 oh.”
“Thanks Teacher He, I’ll pack a big red envelope for you later!”
Chi Ye clinked glasses with Teacher He.
Teacher He pretended to be dissatisfied: “Too little won’t do!”
Chi Ye: “Then forget it, can I take back what I said earlier?”
“Hahaha.”
The others around also raised their glasses, Teacher Huang, Lin Jingyi, Fourth Prince and a few others just smiled without speaking.
Actively promote for Chi Ye? Impossible!
Afterward, only Mom Wen mentioned 《Circulation》 a few more times, then the night chat was about done. After a day’s work + recording, everyone returned to their rooms to turn off lights and rest.
《Mushroom House》 this season, like previous ones, had several people sleeping in big dorms.
Not many girls this episode, sleeping together; on the other side of the living room were two boys’ big dorms.
Chi Ye was assigned to the same room as Teacher He and Teacher Huang.
He was a bit tired today too; after entering the room and lying down, he chatted with Empress Dowager for a while, then Empress Dowager “commanded” him to rest. Chi Ye didn’t pretend, put down his mobile phone and fell asleep.
……
Meanwhile, next door.
Sister Shang drank a bit too much today, and in the evening, discovering her period had indeed come as expected, she became even more uninhibited—other girls suffer terribly every time, but not her; from childhood to now, her period never hurt much!
Drunk, head dizzy, she walked to the bedside and fell asleep like a robot.
After an unknown time, rustling sounds came by her ear; Shang Youshu hazily opened her eyes, but not woken by noise, rather by the “gurgling” twisting pain in her lower belly.
Her eyes were dazed for two seconds before gradually waking, then startled!
Bad, really drank too much this time, made a big mistake?!
She rubbed her little belly, saw someone go out the door, and weakly asked: “Mom Wen, who went out?”
From the next bed, Mom Wen who slept later said: “Seems like Jingyi… just took a phone call, they argued.”
“Oh? Argued? With who? Teacher Lu?!”
Sister Shang’s bright eyes lit up instantly, but then “ouch,” feeling a sinking pain in her little belly.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Mom Wen had already gotten out of bed, heading to the restroom: “Sis can’t hold it, going to the restroom to handle some business first.”
“Mom Wen…” Shang Youshu’s little face broke out in fine sweat beads: “Hurry… I feel it too.”
“Got it, don’t worry daughter, sis’s fastest record is 3 seconds.”
Sister Shang was stunned for a second: “Shat your pants?”
Mom Wen: “?”
“Oh… sorry Mom Wen, spent a day with Teacher Chi, got infected.”
Sister Shang embarrassed, hurriedly urged: “Go go, I need to handle business too.”
“Want to go first?”
Mom Wen saw Shang Youshu’s face looked off.
“No problem.”
Sister Shang felt it, not that painful anymore: “You go ahead.”
“Okay, wait for sis.”
Mom Wen said no more; the old rice bucket ate fiercely today, indeed accumulated a lot.
Shang Youshu watched Mom Wen enter the restroom to handle business, then leaned on the bedhead, took out her mobile phone, glanced at the time.
3 a.m.
She blinked, her originally fine mood instantly sank upon seeing the time.
Time’s up!
Emo mode on!
Thinking of her past—well-off family, excellent education, perfect appearance, sexy figure, debut at peak career, audience’s permanent filter for her… she felt a wave of bitterness.
Wind and snow press me for two or three years, I laugh that wind and snow is light as cotton!
No matter how much wind and snow presses me, so what?
Just a little setback, a bump in the road.
I, Shang Aotian, born unlucky, but as long as I strive, even if the whole world is my enemy, what do I have to fear?!
“Gurgle~”
Little belly rumbled again; Sister Shang clearly felt a stream, her face paling another shade.
Fine fine, only this period now can fight me!
A little fear, no problem.
Why hasn’t Mom Wen come out… if not soon, it’ll be a river of blood.
She waited a long time, finding Mom Wen like she drilled in to eat, refusing to come out.
Is there a Manchu Han Imperial Feast inside?! So greedy?
She got a bit anxious, endured the discomfort to get off the bed, went to the restroom doorway, lowered her voice: “Mom Wen, Mom Wen~”
“Daughter.”
Mom Wen’s hearty voice came from inside: “Sis got stuck handling procedures, wait a bit.”
Sister Shang: “？！”
She felt her little belly again, little face deathly pale, shaking her head frantically: “NO NO, Mom Wen, weekends civil servants don’t work, you come out and run the procedures first, let me go.”
“Can’t daughter, sis is halfway done.”
Mom Wen embarrassed: “Wait, Mom Wen will report them, done soon.”
Sister Shang: “…”
She could only nod, endure the embarrassment, standing outside waiting.
But left wait right wait, still no “good news.”
Shang Youshu couldn’t hold it anymore, the pain in her little belly increasingly intense, forehead covered in fine sweat beads, mouth agape toward the lit restroom, then turned to look outside.
Paused, she slyly bent down, sneakily headed to the living room.
Mushroom House has two restrooms total, one women’s restroom one men’s restroom… at this hour, men’s restroom should be empty, right?
Shang Youshu’s heartbeat quickened, like doing something sneaky to the men’s restroom door; saw the light inside off, sign showing “unoccupied.”
Instantly relieved, like finding a savior, dashed in with big steps, pulled the light cord, locked the door, took off pants.
“Mm… a bit much wind and snow.”
Sister Shang endured the intense pain, started handling her period issue.
Tap tap tap.
At that moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside; Sister Shang’s actions froze instantly, white arms instantly raising a layer of fine fuzz.
Almost reflexively, she subconsciously reached to turn off the restroom light.
Click.
Restroom plunged back into darkness.
“Eh, weird, did I see wrong? Wasn’t it on?”
At the corner, Chi Ye rubbed sleepy eyes, yawned walking to restroom door, puzzledly looked inside, tentatively called: “Anyone there?”
“Anyone?”
While calling, tentatively pulled the door.
Click, click, click…
Inside the restroom, Shang Youshu like a frightened little hamster, usually ethereal and graceful face full of terror, watching the constantly twisting door handle, scalp numb.
“……Who’s inside?!”
Chi Ye originally didn’t think it strange, someone inside just wait a bit, but called forever with no sound from inside.
See a ghost?!
He got a bit suspicious too, stepped back: “Not coming out? If not, I’ll call someone!”
Sasaeng fan maybe?!
“……Upset stomach, wait.”
Shang Youshu coarsened her voice, mumbled unclearly.
Chi Ye didn’t hear clearly, but heard someone speaking, relaxed: “Dude, speak up earlier, can’t talk?”
“Alright then, hurry up, I’m holding it.”
“…”
Shang Youshu didn’t speak, like dead, motionless continuing to squat in place.
——She realized earlier she came in a rush, forgot phone and sanitary napkin…
What to do what to do what to do?!
I’m gonna die aaaah!!
Meanwhile.
Outside.
Chi Ye couldn’t see inside, found a chair to sit, opened phone to lower volume, started scrolling.
But left wait right wait, inside still no movement, like that earlier sentence appeared from thin air.
He got up at night a bit urgent to pee, couldn’t hold it, walked over again: “Why so long, eating in there?!”
“Fell in the pit?”
“Say something, really something wrong?!”
Started teasing, but seeing still no movement inside, heart sank.
——Accident maybe?
Thinking this, Chi Ye pulled the door again: “You okay? Buddy, who are you? Jiang Cheng? Or Teacher Huang? Not sneaking to mess with me at night, giving me solid evidence for white teeth?”
Shang Youshu stared motionlessly at the door handle, face ashen.
Mm… alive but nearly dead.
“……Problem.”
Chi Ye frowned, turned to outside, preparing to call the program team’s person in charge, and pull out phone to dial 120.
“Wait, wait!”
Suddenly, Sister Shang inside reacted, hurriedly spoke: “It’s me, Teacher Chi, don’t… don’t call, don’t let others know!”
Chi Ye: “？？？”
Dumbfounded turned back, thinking he misheard: “Lit… Little Shang Teacher?”
“……I… our side is occupied by Mom Wen, I…”
Shang Youshu really felt like dying now, feeling she lost all the face she could in one day.
At the same time inwardly annoyed, why every time encountering Chi Ye is so embarrassing!
What image do I have in his mind…
Aaaah!!!
Sister Shang went crazy, but thinking of “control range,” had to speak: “I… I’m on my period, Teacher Chi.”
Chi Ye was stunned a good while, then said: “Ah, then what?”
“……You… I forgot to bring… I… wuwu.”
Saying saying, really couldn’t say it, Sister Shang actually started sobbing.
Chi Ye totally dumbfounded: “Hey, why cry?”
“I… wuwu… didn’t expect… didn’t expect me to be so unlucky… wuwu, if knew, wouldn’t sneak drink, wind and snow press me two three years, flop there is five years, I regret so much, I fear okay… don’t torment me wuwu…”
Chi Ye: “…”
Correction: “Yours isn’t flop there is five years, it’s squat there is five years!”
“If you don’t make a sound again, I thought you started a buffet inside.”
