Wei Shi’s voice was deep and hoarse, carrying with it strong, aggressive hormones, like a bayonet coated with powerful liquor.

The blade was even pointed indifferently at Wu Jin’s most dreaded vulnerability.

Wu Jin was instantly flustered, his brain completely blanked. He forced himself to speak up and try to explain:

“Hic!”

Wei Shi: “……”

Wu Jin’s breathing was unsteady. When he hiccuped, he would bounce up uncontrollably, rubbing like a cat against the palm of the man’s hand and retracting pitifully after each hiccup.

Wei Shi’s Adam’s apple moved slightly.

Beneath the mountain breeze and sun, the youth’s small curls were so sad that they were almost flat. They didn’t even dare to curl up the slightest bit at the man’s touch.

His brain was misbehaving!

There was no chance between him and the big boss… that was his big brother!

Yet he still peeped at big brother during class! And was discovered by big brother! He couldn’t even be a follower anymore! Aahhhh!!!

Beneath the man’s dry palm, Wu Jin was full of despair and self-criticism:

“Hic! Hic…. cup… Hic! Hiccup!!!”

There was no stopping it at all.

Wei Shi stared at him for a long time before opening his mouth, “Unhappy about the team activity?”

Wu Jin hurriedly shook his head.

Wei Shi: “Unwilling to do the endorsement?”

Wu Jin continued to shake his head like a rattle drum.

Wei Shi enunciated each word clearly, “Did I bully you?”

Wu Jin froze.

Wei Shi raised his eyebrows. The rabbit in front of him was obviously scared silly, and it was unclear which mechanical part had gotten stuck.

He searched through his memory. <Falling In Love With A Popular Idol>, Floating City Press, Chapter 9––use gentleness to accommodate a lover’s cute little temper tantrums, caress him and empathize with him.

“Come here.” The man’s voice was low and deep. His rough palm rubbed along the small curls to the youth’s fragile neck, covering the bite mark that no longer existed.

The delicate skin turned red in the wake of his touch.

Wei Shi knew the structure of the human body like the back of his hand. His two fingers skillfully applied force, easily lifting up Wu Jin’s scattered gaze. His arm was as strong as iron, forcing the youth to look up.

Wu Jin had no power to resist, and his gaze entered the man’s sight.

The man was clearly full of arrogance and vitality, but the callused fingers were gentle and graceful as they pressed against him.

For a moment, Wu Jin even thought that big brother would bow his head and kiss him&#k2013;&#k2013;

Wu Jin’s breath caught, and then he swiftly clutched at his brain.

You, you, you’re being shameless again! Taking big brother’s care as&#k2026; as&#k2026;

Wei Shi’s eyes were deep and dark, covering up the turbulent emotions within. The little rabbit spirit in front of him looked like he’d been bullied cruelly, and Wei Shi almost couldn’t control the impulse to bow his head and kiss him until he was obedient and complacent. Then, he’d take the entire person into his stomach, watching on coolly as he cried and begged for mercy before turning him around and continuing to invade until his aura and scent marked him from the inside out.

Wu Jin’s inner thoughts were also surging. He had even laid out his own future in his brain––the big boss would find out his dirty thoughts and beat him up, then throw him into the rift around Floating City as fertilizer. A few years later, Red would offer up a small white chrysanthemum flower as a tribute and say, Ah-Wu, why would you fall for someone you shouldn’t have…

Wu Jin once again uttered out a desperate cry, “Hic!”

The ambiguous atmosphere dissipated.

Wei Shi patted Wu Jin’s back twice, and the hiccuping finally stopped.

Wei Shi: “Unaccustomed?”

Wu Jin: “No, no!” It was just that he was too close…

Wei Shi made a sound of acknowledgement, “Then, start getting used to it from now on.”

Wu Jin nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. He seemed to think that something was wrong, but perhaps because he was too nervous, he could only continue nodding.

Just then, both their terminals lit up at the same time.

Taking advantage of the moment when the big boss’s head was bowed, Wu Jin quickly peeked at the man’s profile before swiftly ducking his head again.

The first class of the afternoon was over. As their theory instructor was still absent, the trainees of the Crosson Show were basically given a chunk of free time.

There was a lot of noise on the hillside. Caesar had found a football from who knew where, and a group of people started kicking the ball around in the muddy grass. Their faces were covered in the same foolish smiles as the two Crosson fools.

Inside the small studio, once the green screen and camera stands were ready, Ying Xiangxiang closed the windows and smiled slyly at the two lucky trainees who’d showed up at her summons.

To one side of the set-up, the advertiser, North Star Technology’s representative was currently speaking with the program producer.

The virtual screen turned on, and <North Star Technology’s double person luxury life-saving capsule promotional film script> was projected up in the air.

Ying Xiangxiang invited the two of them to sit down, then picked up the script and began to explain the play, “The advertisement will be released one week from now, and they’ll still need to finish the post-production processing, so it’s better for us to shoot as soon as possible. The story is very simple. The beginning is copied from the Titanic, where Contestant Wei is in danger at sea, and has left the only life-saving capsule for Little Witch. Mm, Little Witch only has a few lines here, you just have to shout out ‘no way, no way’.”

Wu Jin: “…….”

Ying Xiangxiang explained in further detail, “At this time, the camera will do a close-up on Little Witch. The sponsor would like to shoot a moment of ‘sad romance and sentiment that touches one deeply in the heart’, which is mainly achieved through micro changes in expression, the eyes, and body movements. Little Witch, your task will be quite difficult.”

After the team activity, Wu Jin had been named the leading actor by the sponsors. According to the gold master of the program group, with his face, there would be a large, large number of viewers who stared fixedly at the ad without switching channels even if he just stood there mute––but some symbolic acting was still required.

Ying Xiangxiang continued, “Finally, Little Witch will open the capsule and discover that it was a double luxury capsule! Therefore, the two of you will be forced close together inside the cabin, snuggling together happily as you push the camera away. Any questions?”

Wu Jin was in a trance as he made a sound of acknowledgement. His mind felt full of paste, and his ears were burning red.

Wei Shi’s expression was cold and indifferent, and he offered no objections.

Ying Xiangxiang looked at Wu Jin, and she laughed playfully, “Then, let’s start with Little Witch.”

The lines were quite simple and only consisted of a few sentences. Wu Jin glanced at the instructor to indicate that he’d finished reciting them, then faced Ying Xiangxiang and seemed to be building up his emotions, “No, you go first…”

Ying Xiangxiang knocked on the table, “Little Witch, look at Contestant Wei. What’s the point of looking at me!”

“……” Wu Jin trembled and hesitated as he looked at the big boss.

Ying Xiangxiang: “Little Witch, relax, don’t be nervous! It’s just a play, how come you’ve turned silly!”

Wu Jin forced himself to eliminate all the distractions in his head. He looked up into the big boss’s eyes, and the man looked straight back at him. Wei Shi’s eyes were deep, his features distinct. Most of the time, they carried a clear sense of deterrence, but they seemed warm and gentle when they landed on Wu Jin’s heart, like a gun-callused palm against the side of his neck.

Ying Xiangxiang nodded and helped Wu Jin enter the mood, “The two main characters in the advertisement seem to be comrades in arms fighting side by side on the surface, but in order to cater to the audience’s taste––some emotional entanglement needs to exist. Come, Little Witch, follow me. Adjust your breathing, and imagine that Contestant Wei is the soft part of your heart! Your white moonlight!”

Wu Jin, who’d been taking deep breaths, suddenly choked on his own, his cheeks bulging, and his small round face turning red.

Ying Xiangxiang: “You admire him, adore him, wanting, but unable to say it––”

Wu Jin seemed to hear a roaring in his ears, as though there were countless fireworks exploding by his ears, stirring up the thoughts deep in his brain. The man held his elbow from behind, his index finger stuck firmly against the trigger. Tearing open the bandage in the dark training room, the extremely powerful hormones emanating from him making his legs go soft.

Admire him, adore him.

The King stepped down from the elevated platform and removed his mask for his knight. His knight hadn’t shown up when he was alone, nor had he been there to stand with him when he fought for the scepter––

No matter how Wu Jin ran, he could only see the vague back of his figure in the light and shadows and couldn’t catch up. He clearly wanted to kiss the crown, but he could only look up to the throne from among the crowd.

Wanting, but unable to say it.

His emotions were put in, then cleared out one by one. These lines became the best camouflage. Wu Jin’s talent as an artist, his acting skills, and emotions all burst out––

The youth raised his eyes again.

A flash of light suddenly leapt across Wei Shi’s gaze as he stood across from him.

He’d always known that Wu Jin had an affinity for the stage. Some people were born to stand in the spotlight and draw the public’s attention. He clearly remembered how Wu Jin had looked when he danced the theme song on the stage, setting off a fire in the audience beneath the stage. Desire and seduction had been interwoven from his waist down his back, but his eyes had been cold and distant––the complete opposite of now.

Wu Jin stood one step away, wearing the most common and well-fitted training clothes, but there was overwhelming emotion brewing in his eyes.

This was the first time he’d seen an emotional outburst from Wu Jin.

‘Adoration’ seemed to be written on Wu Jin’s face, coupled with the urgent vigor of youth. The amber eyes seemed to be drenched by liquor, the focused vision seeming to say that even his soul was burning for the person in front of him who occupied the place at the tip of his heart.

The infatuation, obsession, and despair from the script was all mixed together on Wu Jin’s face, along with a touch of youthfulness––this seemed to be the only place where he could see a shadow of Wu Jin’s original self.

Wu Jin followed the script and said slowly, “No, you go first…”

Ying Xiangxiang’s eyes brightened.

The plot that came after moved smoothly like a boat along the river. Wu Jin didn’t need Ying Xiangxiang to help him find the mood, and skillfully connected his expression and eyes, keeping his gaze locked on Wei Shi’s face the entire time.

The man looked at him quietly.

This monologue was interpreted exquisitely by Wu Jin. Not only he, but even the stage managers and sponsor representative were caught up in Little Witch’s performance.

The youth glowed in the narrow confines of the studio. Several times, he even managed to cause the man’s heartbeat to quake.

It was like the youth was really standing in front of him and confessing to him.

This kind of Wu Jin made Wei Shi feel a sense of infatuated desire. The eager and desperate youth who was in love was like a lost lamb, making Wei Shi want to coax him gently and corrupt him thoroughly, and he also wanted him unable to control his own breathing as he cried out in despair.

In the act or or not; using falsehood as reality.

After Wu Jin finished reading his extended lines, at the last moment between life and death, Wei Shi picked up where he left off, “I will try my best to survive––but only if you live on.”

The scene ended.

There was silence in the studio.

The program producer finally opened his mouth and asked the sponsor politely, “I think it’s OK, what do you think?”

The sponsor abruptly came back to his senses and nodded repeatedly, “This spokesperson… are they really survival show contestants? Not professional actors?”

The program producer laughed loudly and uttered pleasantries, then turned back and ordered, “What are you all standing there for? Stop checking the script, just get them into the life-saving capsule and start shooting!”

Two hours later.

Ying Xiangxiang was complaining to her agent in a low whisper––“Do survival show contestants all have such talent in acting nowadays? They can even turn this kind of spicy chicken script into something like this? I’m shocked!”

The double person life-saving capsule opened up, and the shooting finally progressed to the last scene.

The program PD gestured, and the Ying Xiangxiang who had been acting like a salted fish and doing nothing on the sofa hurriedly jumped up to instruct the two contestants.

Wu Jin’s solo act was long, and he’d gone very deep into the act. His eyes were slightly red as he followed the instructions from the team and lay down flat in the life-saving capsule.

Ying Xiangxiang chattered on, and the light stage manager to one side grew puzzled. For some reason, Contestant Wei seemed to spend more time watching Contestant Wu than Instructor Ying.

Ying Xiangxiang: “Alright. After that, Contestant Wei will be pulled in and hugged by Little Witch like this. You two should discuss how to hold each other when the time comes.”

Wu Jin firmly admonished himself: Control yourself! I’m begging you not to burst out into hiccups at this point in time!

Ying Xiangxiang flipped to the next page on the script, “And then, at this point there’s a period of kissing… If you guys are willing…”

Wu Jin: “……!!!”

Wei Shi raised his brows, and his gaze shifted to Wu Jin with great interest.

Juurensha: Both of them are 1000% on board with this idea
