Cannon Fodder Fake Master Was Stunned After Being Reborn - CH 61.1
Maybe this was the most interesting day since “Bright Stars” started broadcasting. Originally, today’s hot search should be “Bright Stars”. However, a new topic shot up like bamboo during a spring day.
#Mr.Su1Su = Mary Sue/Gary Stu, specifically referring to real-life celebs who seemed perfect.UnrequitedFailure#
Actor Fu was someone ridiculously popular all-year around, it’s no wonder his hot search took less than half an hour to reach top peak. All of this traffic was real too, no need to hire a water army2paid actor in social media basically. to prop it up.
Tuya asked the director with mirth in her eyes, “Director, can you announce the name of the person?”
However, the director suddenly became a man full of integrity. “No, it’s all anonymous. We want to protect everyone’s privacy. As for who it is…?” The benevolent sees benevolence and the wise sees wisdom, so I won’t talk about it here.”
“…”
‘Director, you are really a good dog of a man.’
Although the director chose to keep it as a secret, a person with more than one working brain cell could guess it. There was only one such person that Fu Jinxiao seemed to be fond of.
Tuya and Instructor Li looked at Shen Xingsui almost instantly.
Shen Xingsui, who was standing on the opposite side and guessing who Fu Jinxiao chose, was suddenly caught by this hot gaze. Blinking in confusion, he thought these two seniors were looking for something, “Yes, is there something I can help?”
Tuya and Instructor Li shook their heads crazily.
Since Tuya has a good relationship with Shen Xingsui, she dared to lean over and cough lighty. Her tone was full of implication, it’s just too bad Shen Xingsui was too oblivious to notice. “Sooo… Suisui, who do you think Fu-ge chose?”
Shen Xingsui shook his head hesitantly, and said in a naive tone, “I don’t know.”
“You can boldly guess, young man.” Tuya patted him on the shoulder, “I won’t spill. Tell me, please?”
“…”
Shen Xingsui wondered if it could be him, because he also received two letters.
But after thinking about it, would it be too prideful of him to guess this. Maybe, it was just a coincidence. So he answered, “Maybe it’s Xingchen-ge?”
“Huh?”
“Because Xingchen-ge also received two.” Shen Xingsui said bluntly, “And hasn’t my brother always had a good relationship with Teacher Fu?”
‘If I remember correctly, my ge has been with Fu Jinxiao for a long time. Plus, our family’s relationship are close too. Mhm. My guess should be correct!’
Shen Xingchen pinched his waist beside him, “Teacher Yaya, what do you mean, can’t it be me?”
Tuya covered her smile, “No, no, no. Yes, it’s possible it’s you.”
Shen Xingchen dubiously looked at her smiling and teasing eyes, muttering: “Why do I feel that you are laughing at me.”
“Hey, don’t say that~”
“Sorry, sorry.”
Fu Jinxiao overheard what Tuya said. He set his eyes on Shen Xingsui, and their gazes met. From Shen Xingsui’s perspective, Fu Jinxiao seemed to be secretly looking at Tuya-jie. So, he shifted his perspective to see her. Suddenly, the actor’s smiling smile looked twice as stern, his gaze colder.
The actor wasn’t in a good mood. Shen Xingsui saw this.
“…”
For some reason, Shen Xingsui felt his scalp tingle again, and his back felt cold.
This was probably his sixth sense, something akin to a small animal’s innate intuition for danger. He deeply doubts whether he has done something wrong to make his idol angry.
Fortunately, the director has some godly-level timing, he came to Shen Xingsui’s rescue at the perfect time. “Okay, then this episode is over. We prepared a luxurious meal upstairs to thank everyone for their hard work, and also thank the audience for their support. “Bright Star” will never end, see you in the next episode!”
All the guests also bowed to the camera.
The audience in the live broadcast room was all groaning:
[No no no! QAQ I don’t want to end just yet!!]
[C’mon! Tell us who rejected Fu-ge! I can’t sleep at all at this rate.]
[Hahaha, let’s guess then!]
[First of all, let’s exclude Shen Xingchen.]
[Hahaha, be careful that the young master jumps up and hits you.]
The recording of the show was finally over, and the guests could breathe a sigh of relief. After chatting unscrupulously, the juniors went up to eat first, and some staff brought a pot of herbal tea for the senior to enjoy. They had a pleasant, low-energy chat.
Tuya picked up a cup of tea and took a sip. “What kind of tea is this?
“It tastes weird, but very delicious. The chef of this restaurant should be very knowledgeable.”
Tuya was a foreigner, she couldn’t truly enjoy this kind of tea.
But she has better things to ask – such as, gossip. “Soo, you really sent a letter to Suisui, huh?”
Fu Jinxiao didn’t answer. He only gracefully sip his tea, like an unbothered party.
Tuya smiled. “I know even if you don’t tell me.”
“I just want to ask you, what do you mean by that?” Tuya looked at him with her chin propped up, and sighed, “Suisui is a very good boy, I can see that his mind is very clean and pure, and he admires you quite a bit. But he is still very young after all, if you are not serious, you can’t play with his feelings.”
Fu Jinxiao raised his eyebrows. “Playing?”
Tuya nodded.
“Where did you see that I played with his feelings?” Fu Jinxiao shot back. His previously calm persona crumbled in annoyance, “I’m the one who was rejected.”
Tuya snorted and tried to muffle her laugh. But then, she finally realized something, “Wait, you really really like him?”
Fu Jinxiao might still be expressionless, but Tuya could see a storm brewing inside his dark eyes. Nevertheless, she couldn’t read his mind.
So, she risked her life to ask again. “There’s no way you don’t like him. You took care of him and gave him your attention. But if you only do it half-heartedly, he will be very pitiful in the future. You can’t keep leading him on like this. So, let me ask you this, is this ‘like’ of yours has evolved into ‘loving’ him?”
Fu Jinxiao muttered something. “How… do you know if you love someone?”
“…”
This question sent Tuya off.
The woman sitting at the table wanted to hold back, but couldn’t hold back, and laughed outright.
Hey, Fu Jinxiao couldn’t blame her, okay? This was too fucking hilarious. Male God Fu, Movie Emperor Fu, the flower of the mountaintops3that perfect person who is unattainable. You can only admire them from afar., the perfect Mr. Fu, the dream lover of many, many people in all of China, said something about this. Thanks to the numerous male lead roles he played in dramas and movies alike, everyone thought that he would be a smooth lover.
No matter what, he was this high figure in this circle.
And that mighty Mr. Su was asking whether he loved someone or not.
Absolute hilarity. Peak comedy.
It’s almost as funny as a pretty girl asking if she looks good.
Tuya was still laughing, obliterating her lady-like image. “C-could it be… you don’t understand this?”
While she was happily laughing her ass off, Fu Jinxiao’s complexion didn’t look good. He looked like he was considering murder. His voice was honey-sweet, if the said honey was laced with aconite, that is. “Is it that funny, Tuya?”
“N-no. It’s just. Well, uhm. You see, loving someone is not a concrete thing. It’s just.. Something you instinctively knew, in my opinion. Hm… there’s some tells, such as, your heart beating faster around him, you are willing to make major sacrifices for his happiness, whenever you are with him, you are happy, and your gaze kept locking at him – so even if he’s on a massive crowd, you probably subconsciously looking at him.”
Fu Jinxiao fell into deep thought.
He really doesn’t know much about “love”, and he doesn’t understand what “true love” is.
In fact, he has no shortage of suitors. When he was young, his locker was full of love letters and bento boxes. When he entered this circle, his WeChat inbox was flooded by people interested in him. Whenever he attended an event, a massive throng of people would fight for his attention and time. There were even some nasty people who dared to bother him in his hotel room.
However, those were just passing clouds in his eyes. None of this pest could arouse any waves in his heart.
So he does not know the taste of love.
At the beginning, he didn’t think Shen Xingsui was very special. He just thought that the youth were silly and funny, so he paid more attention to him. Later, he found out more interesting things about the youth, and before he knew it, he was looking forward to uncover more interesting sides of Shen Xingsui. He was shy, yet he was bold, he looked low-key, yet he was passionate. His contradiction was addicting. He couldn’t stop looking at him.
And once this started, he couldn’t stop. Once he made one exception to Shen Xingsui, he kept making more and more exceptions.
By the time he realized it, Shen Xingsui was already a special existence in his heart.
Tuya sighed and continued her lecture, “Emotions are a very mysterious thing, but you have to know that feelings and marriage are not child’s play. Although same-sex marriage is open and not illegal in China, the law only passed about two decades ago. The public acceptance about this matter is still low, though it keep increasing every year. But still, nobody in the entertainment industry dared to disclose their… ah, preferences. Plus, there’s a big gap of status between him and you, and your fans might not be able to accept him. He might even got bashed for this…”
Her worry was endless, but Fu Jinxiao could only hold his silence.
Fu Jinxiao began to play with the rim of his already-cold teacup. He was thinking about something seriously. “I’ve thought about what you said. I can’t answer you now whether I love Shen Xingsui or not. But there’s one thing I can tell you clearly.”
The teacup was put back on the table. The clacking sound of porcelain sounded like something had been finalized.
Fu Jinxiao fixed his gaze on her. Unlike his previous cynical smile, this time, his smile had been genuine. “I’m not playing around.”
Tuya’s eyes widened a little. At this moment, there was a huge wave in her heart. She desperately wanted to shout something on top of her lungs.
‘Oh my fucking God! This old fox is going to steal other people’s good cabbage!!’
‘I can’t see this anymore. Good bye good sir! Have a nice day!!!’
Tuya, after hearing this: peace out, bye!
