Cannon Fodder Fake Master Was Stunned After Being Reborn - CH 50.1

Sorry for the late update! I just woke up after a 16 hours sleep (´∩｀。)

When the winner announcement rang in everyone’s earphones, all of them had similar reactions – shock and confusion.

“Wait. Didn’t Fu-ge’s group have the least amount of cards??”

“Oh yeah, you can also win by finding the spot…”

“This feels like cheating somehow.”

Only Shen Xingchen seemed to be more used to this matter. He sighed, patted Ning Ze’s shoulder beside him and said, “Don’t be surprised, this is a very normal thing. If anything crazy happened, it probably has something to do with Fu Jinxiao.”

In his mind, Fu Jinxiao couldn’t not win.

And everyone seemed to accept it easily.

At the end of this mission, because of Actor Fu  and Shen Xingsui’s unexpected headwind victory, it became a hot search, which sparked a heated discussion among netizens:

#VerySueAndBornToEatThisBowlOfRice# 1(Very Su/Sue = very perfect man, like a gary stu. “Born to eat this bowl of rice” = suitable for the job he’s doing.)

#ActorFuLoopholeOperations#

#FuJinxiaoShenXingsui#

Shen Xingsui found out about this during the ride towards the next destination. He looked at it repeatedly, constantly refreshing the page, as if he wouldn’t get tired no matter how many times he looked at it.

Fu Jinxiao leaned over, “What are you looking at?”

Shen Xingsui replied honestly, showing him the screen of the phone, “Look, we are trending together.”

“Oh, so it’s that?” Fu Jinxiao glanced at him with a deeper look, “You looked… hypnotized looking at that. Mind telling me why?”

Even the youth still looked absent-minded when answering his question.

In this regard, Actor Fu has a lot of opinions.

Fu Jinxiao’s words made Shen Xingsui finally out of his stupor, “Am I in a daze?”

“Oh, uhm.. I’m sorry, Teacher Fu.” As a straightforward person, Shen Xingsui immediately apologized. But his voice began to get smaller the more he explained the reason, “I… uh… may have looked into the tag too deep just now. And that made me lost my mind, because…”

Fu Jinxiao raised his eyebrows, “Because of what?”

Facing this unfairly handsome face, Shen Xingsui faltered a bit. He was a bit speechless, confused about his choice of words to explain what he felt. With a voice barely louder than the buzz of a mosquito, he said, “Because… it’s the first time my name trended next to yours2the original was more like “it’s the first time I trended with you”. Which was factually incorrect. He and FJX has trended together, although the tag was #TeacherStudent# during Starlight. So I changed it..”

There was a moment of silence in the car.

This enclosed space was very private, as there was no camera here. That’s why Shen Xingchen dared to speak out his mind.

Shen Xingsui couldn’t understand what Fu Jinxiao’s meaningful gaze meant. It made him nervous. Fu Jinxiao saw the youth’s state, and he was once again tempted to tease him further, “Little friend, I didn’t mean it in a bad way. I like the fact that we trended together. Did you think I’ll be offended by the hot search? No, I just find your reaction a bit amusing. It seems that your ideological awareness still needs to be improved.”

Shen Xingsui instantly thought his words were a bit misunderstood, so he quickly try to clarify his thoughts, “No, no, I mean, uhm… like… er…you’re okay with me seeing it, then?”

When he turned around to see Fu Jinxiao, the actor was actually smiling at him. The handsome man leaned back lazily on the car’s plush seat, with half of his arm draped over the handrail, another arm propping up his chin. It was clear that he was looking at Shen Xingsui with mirth, as if he was fond of teasing his small pet bunny.

Shen Xingsui felt a little annoyed.

Fu Jinxiao looked at the youth’s irritated expression and finally restrained his desire. He immediately rectified his previous act, “Okay, okay, that’s my bad. I won’t tease you anymore. Here, I’ll have something for you as an apology.”

Shen Xingsui squinted at him in suspicion.

Fu Jinxiao put a paper bag into his palm.

Shen Xingsui asked, “What is this?”

The actor immediately answered concisely, “Sugar.”

A bit confused, Shen Xingsui opened the small paper bag, and there were indeed granules of white sugar inside. He was wondering why would anyone – moreover Fu Jinxiao – gave him straight sugar. Normal people would instead give candy, right?

Before he could ask, Fu Jinxiao answered, “Aunt Xu told me that due to overexertion during the past, you have some level of hypoglycemia. You just ran around all over the town, and I could clearly see that it has taken a toll on your body.”

Actor Fu’s voice was still gentle despite his lecturing words. He still felt like a strict teacher, but without a hint of anger in his voice. Overall, he still made people tremble.

Shen Xingsui held the sugar bag, his eyes flickered, but he was speechless: “I…”

Fu Jinxiao said, “Try it?”

He opened his mouth and put a small sugar cube inside his mouth. The sweetness was overwhelming enough to pierce his heart. He subconsciously furrowed his brows and eyes. After getting used to the taste, he let out a genuine smile and whispered back, “It’s very sweet.”

Shen Xingchen, who was just napping on the front seat, jolted awake at the mention of this word. He automatically turned around to Shen Xingsui and asked during this half-awake state, “Sweet? What’s so sweet? Sweet and sour pork ribs?”

“…”

Fu Jinxiao raised his eyelids to look at him, and teased the idiot-looking young master, “There’s no sweet and sour pork ribs, but soon we’ll eat sweet and sour abalone.”

Shen Xingchen perked up, “Really?”

Fu Jinxiao pursed his lips, and said slowly, “I’m lying.”

Shen Xingsui next to him couldn’t help covering his lips and sniggering. Fu Jinxiao saw this and it only made his fake smile wider. Shen Xingchen, on the other hand, was devastated.

Fu Jinxiao could bully him but he couldn’t retaliate back!

The car soon arrived at the town’s top restaurant specializing in local cuisine. It was built according to the ancient pavilions look during ancient times. Vines crept along the gates and the walls, its green leaves fluttered as the wind blew. The antique buildings exuded a classical charm. After entering, an elegant incense lingered on the entryway, making as if you were transported to a by-gone era of the past.

Since Fu Jinxiao and Shen Xingsui won, they could eat at this restaurant.

The director said to the others, crushing every bit of hope they had in their heart, “This is not where you eat.”

Everyone was puzzled – if that’s the case, why bother bringing them here? Making them green with envy??

After leading everyone upstairs, the director pointed to a small stall not far outside the building and said, “That’s where you can eat dinner.”

“???” What kind of difference is this!!

Everyone was dumbfounded:

“Director, how could you be this cruel???”

“Then why did you let us come here?”

“Director, this is bullying.”

The director cheerfully said without a hint of remorse, “I asked everyone to come up to see the town’s scenery together. From here, you can see the scenery of the dock, and secondly, let you all smell the local specialties and enjoy the happiness together.”

Everyone: “…”

The live broadcast room resumed, and the audience was immediately greeted by this large-scene of class disparity.

[HAHAHAHAHA Oh my God!!]

[And the winner of “Least Human-like” program crew goes to…]

[I’m sorry but I laughed so hard.]

Just when everyone’s faces were green with envy, the director finally regained his conscience, and said:

“Okay, I also know that it may be a bit unacceptable to everyone. So… how about this. Everyone can give a performance, and if the winning team judged them as satisfactory, you can have a meal in this restaurant!”
