Director Li had met Fu Xiuning at a drinking party and knew that he was the boss of June Culture.
It can be said that anyone who is a little bit obsessed with looks would not be able to leave any impression after meeting Fu Xiuning.
The first thing he saw when he turned around was Fu Xiuning holding an ice cream towards Xing Shi. From this angle, the slightly raised arm covered half of his face. When the other person put it down, he could see who it was. He was stunned at first, then quickly stood up.
“Boss Fu?” he asked in surprise, “Why are you here?”
Fu Xiuning said, “I heard he was filming a music video here, let’s take a look.”
Director Li was even more surprised. The boss of a company came to visit a trainee. Even a fool could tell that this was not an ordinary trainee. Seeing that the other party did not hide anything, he asked directly, “Is he yours?”
Fu Xiuning said: “My brother.”
Director Li was surprised, but reacted quickly. He turned around and waved to Xing Shi, who ran over, took the ice cream from Fu Xiuning’s hand, and scooped a spoonful happily.
At this time, the assistant also distributed cold drinks and fruits to the staff.
Director Li waved his hand and announced that they would take a break.
Everyone cheered and started eating.
They noticed Fu Xiuning when he first arrived. When they saw Yu Shu standing with him, they thought they were friends. Now they found out that he was the boss after asking. They couldn’t help but discuss him in amazement and thought that the boss was more handsome than a star.
The director’s attention had previously been on Xingshi. Now he learned from them that Fu Xiuning had been there for more than ten minutes. He glanced at Xingshi who was concentrating on eating ice cream, and thought to himself that the brotherhood was quite good.
He was not idle, he sat next to Xingshi and continued to explain the play to him.
The plot of the MV is very simple, it tells the story of the protagonist’s secret love.
Every object he sees and every little thing he encounters in his daily life reminds him of the person he likes. This person makes him happy and also makes him depressed.
Yu Yi plays the protagonist’s friend. He is paired with another supporting character, a tall and tough male model. In the plot, the three of them are friends. They occasionally play basketball and have meals together. Yu Yi and the male model have a good chat. When the protagonist looks at them, he will be distracted and think of the person he likes.
This secondary CP is handled very subtly. At first glance, they seem to be friends, but a closer look reveals that they are a couple. Therefore, Yu Yi’s role is very simple. He just needs to be a little happy, and he doesn’t even have to act too happy.
In comparison, playing the leading role is a bit difficult for newcomers.
Because the secret crush does not appear in the plot, everything depends on the protagonist’s eyes and expressions to show his or her feelings.
Director Li looked at Xingshi’s face and said ambitiously, “I want the audience to feel sweet and happy for you when you light up. When you feel down and depressed, the audience will also feel the same way and want to rush into the screen to grab your crush and ask him why he doesn’t like you.”
Xingshi swallowed a mouthful of ice cream with enjoyment and nodded obediently: “Okay, I’ll try my best.”
Director Li was very pleased. With his outstanding looks and strong background, he was not angry even when he was rejected several times in a row in such hot weather. How rare is that.
Yu Shu interrupted: “How about I tell you how I feel?”
Director Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, “That’s a solution.”
When he and Yu Shu talked about the idea of the MV, he heard the other party’s reasons, and he also knew that it was no secret that this matter had been on the hot search, so he said to Xing Shi: “He wrote this song for his secret crush, and it was the most touching.”
Xingshi looked over cooperatively: “Really?”
Yu Shu smiled and nodded, secretly glancing at Fu Xiuning.
Fu Xiuning held the cup in one hand, his expression calm and his temperament aloof, just like when they first met, without any change.
Yu Shu was bound by the system at the beginning. She was deeply attracted to him the first time she saw him and chose the love line without hesitation.
There was a round table under the parasol, with only four of them sitting at it.
He said: “Let me first tell you why I arranged such a secondary CP in the MV, because the person I like is also a boy.”
Xingshi cooperated again, surprised: “Huh?”
Yu Shu smiled and said, “Did it scare you?”
Xing Shi adjusted his expression: “It’s… okay, just a little unexpected.”
Yu Shu asked, “You don’t mind this kind of thing, right?”
Xing Shi said: “No.”
Yu Shu thanked him and then got to the point: “The person I like…”
He paused for a moment, his eyes filled with tenderness: “He is an extremely excellent and outstanding person, and many people are chasing after him. I fell in love with him at first sight, and I am filled with joy every time I see him. I cherish every minute and second I spend with him. After we break up, I will listen to news about him through various channels. Even if it is just a trivial matter, I can listen for a long time.”
He sighed in frustration, “I know he doesn’t like me, and I also know there’s a big gap between him and me. I don’t know how to make him see me, and I’m always afraid that he’ll suddenly like someone else. I desperately want to convey my feelings to him, but I’m also afraid that he’ll hate me, so I become inferior and uneasy, and I’m no longer myself.”
He smiled at Xingshi: “How is it? Did it give you some inspiration?”
Xing Shi thought for a moment, “Maybe.”
The system couldn’t help but chuckle, “I want to enlighten you, but that’s just an excuse. I said it specifically for Fu Xiuning to hear! If he plays the victim later, maybe he’ll ask you to help him!”
Xing Shi said: “You are right.”
The system was proud: “That’s right, I can’t hide his little tricks from him. Unfortunately, it’s useless for them to struggle. Just look at this ice cream and you will know that Fu Xiuning’s heart is with you!”
Xing Shi ignored it and asked Yu Shu curiously: “Have you confessed your feelings?”
Yu Shu’s expression was slightly nervous, and he shook his head: “No, I don’t dare. I’m worried that I’ll be rejected if I confess directly, which will lead to awkwardness when we meet in the future, so for now I can only try to pursue him and strive to get closer to him as soon as possible.”
Xing Shi encouraged him: “Come on, Brother Yu.”
Yu Shu smiled and said, “I will.”
After the break, Xingshi got up and started working.
Most of the MV is the male lead’s solo performance. Yu Yi and the male model don’t have many parts. The director wanted to let Xing Shi find his form first, so he signaled for them to find a cool place to chat and get to know each other.
After the two people got to know each other a little, they came together to watch and take pictures.
Fu Xiuning did not leave, but sat on a chair waiting for someone to get off work.
It was a pleasant surprise for Yu Shu to meet Fu Xiuning today, so of course he would not leave and sat beside him to keep him company.
Yu Yi saw them when he passed by and greeted them politely.
Yu Shu kindly told the juniors: “It should be your turn soon. It’s the first time for newcomers to shoot, so it’s inevitable to be nervous and make mistakes. The director is a very good person, don’t be afraid.”
Yu Yi’s face was full of gratitude: “Thank you, Brother Yu.”
He looked at Fu Xiuning and said seriously, “Thank you for the cold drink, boss. And what happened with Brother Qi last time. You may not remember it, but I really appreciate it. Thank you.”
Fu Xiuning had never done anything related to Qi Changyi, so he knew that it must be an excuse made by Xingshi, so he calmly acknowledged it: “Yes.”
Yu Shu watched Yu Yi leave and asked, “Brother Qi, what’s the matter?”
Fu Xiuning said: “He is a fan of Qi Changyi.”
Yu Shu had already known through the system that Yu Yi and Xing Shi were roommates, and guessed that it was probably because of Xing Shi that the fans and idols met, and said, “Is that so.”
He was not interested in this and changed the topic to Xingshi: “Xingshi has such excellent appearance, why didn’t he participate in this year’s talent show?”
Fu Xiuning said: “He himself doesn’t want to go.”
Yu Shu smiled and said, “I see. If he is willing to go, he will definitely be in the top three in popularity.”
Fu Xiuning believed this and echoed it.
Xingshi is performing sweetness at this moment.
Thanks to the ice cream, he can now appreciate the sweetness the director required. He got into the mood quickly and filmed all the sweet scenes in this scene in one go.
What followed was bitterness. The director talked about it twice without any effect, so he decided to refer to Fu Xiuning’s method.
He asked people to buy a few ice creams, and they lined up behind the camera and ate them facing the stars.
Strong response——
“Hold on, this isn’t bitterness, this is hatred.”
“Yours are saved for you. Just think about it. You have to work now, and you have to wait a while before you can eat it… You still hate it!”
“They only took two bites. It’s not necessary. You should take it.”
Fu Xiuning saw what was happening here, came over to watch, and heard the voice of the system.
The system was a little annoyed and guided him: “If Fu Xiuning was with someone else, what would your reaction be?”
Xing Shi thought for a moment and said, “Should I give him a gift?”
The system said: “…I am asking about your feelings, not your actions.”
It coaxed him: “Look, you are a man, and there is such an outstanding boy like Fu Xiuning in front of you, and he is very attracted to you, but you missed him and have to watch him date someone else. Wouldn’t you feel depressed?”
Xing Shi also wanted to finish the work as soon as possible. After thinking carefully for a minute, he really couldn’t imagine Fu Xiuning falling in love with someone else. To be honest, “I can’t think of it.”
The system said: “How could I not think of it? For example, he was moved by Yu Shu and agreed to his confession.”
Xing Shi said: “Heh.”
The system was immediately excited: “Are you jealous?”
Xing Shi naturally would not tell it that Fu Xiuning knew who the host was, and signaled it to shut up and figure it out alone.
He had experienced bitter times in the wizarding world before. He was the only one alive in their team. Although he had only known many of them not long ago, he still felt bad when he saw his teammates fall one by one.
He tried hard to bring it in, but still failed.
Director Li stroked his chin and commented: “It’s much better, but the loneliness is stronger than the bitterness, and it’s a bit sharp, which makes me feel that you will explode and kill someone in the next second.”
Xing Shi said: “Then I will adjust it again.”
The system suddenly said: “I figured it out!”
Xing Shi said: “Hmm?”
The system said, “Suppose Fu Xiuning is no longer your brother. He doesn’t let you eat in the restaurant, doesn’t accompany you to watch the little bear, doesn’t buy you snacks or ice cream… In short, he doesn’t love you anymore and loves someone else. You two are back to the original state. What will you do?”
Xing Shi thought, what else can he do? He can just dismantle the system himself and said, “I’ll be his father.”
system:”……”
Do you have any dad addiction?
I can’t carry it. I can’t carry it at all.
Xing Shi said this, but he still thought seriously about the scene where his relationship with Fu Xiuning broke down.
Director Li was pleasantly surprised and said, “Hey, this disappointment is a little on point, keep it up!”
Xing Shi was startled, and out of the corner of his eye he noticed Fu Xiuning’s figure and looked over.
Fu Xiuning also looked at him, and the two men’s eyes met in the air.

The system was happy: “Look, I can’t help but like you!”
Xing Shi said: “Shut up.”
He looked away and heard the director’s words: “You have to add some distress, let me think…”
Director Li also knew that this kid had never experienced love, so it was indeed difficult for him to understand, so he asked, “Have you ever had anything depressing in your life?”
Before Xingshi could answer, Fu Xiuning stepped forward and asked, “For example, if you failed two subjects at the end of the semester, do you have to take make-up exams at the beginning of the semester?”
Xing Shi: “!”
system:”!”
This is too cruel!
The director was surprised: “This works?”
When he turned his head to look at Xingshi, he saw that the other party looked painful. He realized that it was really useful. He hurriedly struck while the iron was hot. After taking this shot, he called Yu Yi and the others to go to the basketball court.
Xingshi continued shooting until the afternoon.
The sky, which had been gloomy for a long time, finally began to rain. He performed sweetness and sadness in the rain, and finally finished his work.
Yu Shu smiled and said, “Congratulations on finishing the filming. You’ve worked so hard. I’ll treat you to a meal. Will the boss come too?”
Xingshi looked at Fu Xiuning.
Fu Xiuning refused.
Yu Shu’s expression was downcast for a moment, but he soon put on a smile again: “Then what about Xingshi?”
Xing Shi said: “I can’t either. I was too excited yesterday and didn’t sleep well. I want to go back and catch up on some sleep.”
He would take the job and ask Fu Xiuning to come see him, just to set a hook for Yu Shu.
He can act like a naive person in front of Lin Kecheng, but not in front of Yu Shu, because Yu Shu doesn’t know that he is the host, and all his understanding of him comes from his past self.
According to the information of the “original owner”, he used to be smart and capable of causing trouble, and was a difficult person to approach. Although his personality has improved now, in order not to arouse suspicion, he has to maintain the tone of “difficult to approach”.
Once he has this label, it will take some effort to conquer him.
If Fu Xiuning’s attitude towards him was average, Yu Shu might feel that he was wasting time on him and give up the idea.
So today he wanted Yu Shu to see with his own eyes how Fu Xiuning treated him differently so as to strengthen his belief.
After all, it was easier to approach him than Fu Xiuning, who was used to all kinds of tricks and generally had a -5 attitude towards people. With such an obvious breakthrough in front of him, no matter how difficult it was for him to approach, Yu Shu had to rush forward.
Yu Shu was rejected repeatedly, but still had a smile on his face.
He looked at Yu Yi kindly: “Why don’t you come, Yu Yi? You don’t have many scenes today, so you’re not as tired as he is. Let’s have dinner together, and I’ll personally take you back to the company in the evening.”
Yu Yi hesitated for a moment and agreed.
Yu Shu breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and patted his head: “That’s great, if you all reject me, I will be very sad.”
Xing Shi knew that if anything happened to Yu Yi in his hands, he would be to blame and it would greatly drag down his reputation, so he would never do anything to Yu Yi. He said goodbye to them politely, got in Fu Xiuning’s car, and left Z University.
When I got home, my aunt had just prepared dinner.
The two of them took a shower and sat at the dining table.
Xing Shi ate a few bites of food contentedly and looked at the person opposite him: “Brother, I feel that Yu Shu is quite affectionate towards you.”
Fu Xiuning said calmly: “That’s his business.”
Xing Shi recalled: “I remember that you mentioned him when you were talking about your special physique. You classified Lin Kecheng as one of these people. So he is the same as Lin Kecheng?”
Fu Xiuning looked at him, knowing that he would not ask about something he already knew, and said, “It’s different. At least Lin Kecheng is not pursuing me.”
Xingshi understood that the key point of this sentence was in the first sentence.
These two people are different, so Yu Shu is the host of the crossing. In the words of the system, if the strategy fails, they will take each other away together, so when he absorbs energy, it will be one machine and two lives?
He asked, “What is his character like?”
Fu Xiuning looked at him and commented, “He is not a good person.”
Among these hosts, those who have traveled through time and space account for a larger proportion.
The natives selected by the main system are ambitious but mediocre people, which is a bit stereotyped. Most of them are cowardly and have no opinions. Suddenly they get a system that falls from the sky, so it is easy for them to cooperate with the other party.
Compared to these people, the hosts who traveled through time and space had more distinct and richer personalities, and they resisted most fiercely when they were first bound. More than 90% of the first-level and second-level punishments he had seen over the years were created by them.
But it was of no avail, none of them could resist successfully.
This is not because they are not strong enough, or not smart enough to learn to be hypocritical to the system to get the job done, but because the strategy gene is engraved in their bones.
They all came in with amnesia, and were suddenly bound to an unfamiliar system. Most people’s first reaction was to refuse to accept it. But after seeing him a few more times, their attitudes immediately changed.
Fu Xiuning couldn’t explain why, but he seemed to naturally attract the attention of this group of people.
They stared at him, eager to get close to him and possess him, so they quickly reconciled with the system and started to conquer him together.
Perhaps there is influence from another world, and they are more extreme and more unscrupulous than the indigenous people.
In these years, Xingshi is the only exception.
Not only did he resist the system, but his attitude remained the same every time he met him several times afterwards, even when he was under his nose.
Apart from eating and dismantling the system, his biggest hobby in daily life might be to stir up trouble and trick him. He has no intention of getting close to him or getting him.

[Current Favorability Value: 21]
Xing Shi: “?”
system:”!”
Fu Xiuning: “…”
The system asked: “Why!”
It was the first time it had been deducted points in such a long time, and it was immediately irritated: “Because you always mention Yu Shu, is he jealous?”
Xing Shi didn’t understand either, but he knew that this couldn’t be the reason, so he asked innocently, “How should I know?”
The system said: “Don’t mention him, change the subject!”
Xingshi responded to the sentence “not a good person” with a “hmm”, ending the topic.
Then he took a bite of his rice and secretly looked at the person opposite him, thinking that it couldn’t be that he was talking about Yu Shu not being a good person, and then his thoughts diverged and he thought that he was not a good person either, right?
Are you so wicked? Where are the brothers you promised to be?
He couldn’t help but said, “A man’s heart is like a needle in the sea. I’m not trying to steal Yu Shu.”
The system said: “That’s it!”
Xing Shi said: “You say you don’t care about Yu Shu, but you actually have another set of thoughts in your heart, haha.”
The system corrected: “No, he cares about you. You can’t always mention others in front of him, understand?”
Xing Shi said: “I don’t know!”
Fu Xiuning: “…”
Xingshi just talked about it casually, then quickly ignored the episode and buried his head in eating.
Fu Xiuning was silent for a few seconds, and also skipped over this matter, and changed the subject: “He will definitely approach you later. If you find it annoying, just throw it to me.”
Xingshi paused in his eating and looked up at him.
Fu Xiuning said: “I’ll help you deal with him.”
Xingshi can understand what the other person means.
This is because he was worried that Yu Shu would use extreme measures against him and that something might happen to him.
He was very calm: “It’s okay, let’s see how he wants to approach me. Don’t worry, no matter what he does, I will tell you the first time.”
It was a week later that Yu Shu contacted him again.
They added each other on WeChat on the day they confirmed the job and created a small group of three.
The other party sent a voice message with an obvious smile in his voice.
“The first version of the MV has been edited. Would you like to come and see it? It’s in Director Li’s studio, not too far from the company. I’ll send a car to pick you up. Have lunch and come back later.”
After hearing the news during the break, Yu Yi looked at Xingshi with shining eyes.
Feng Zifan saw him like this and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Yu Yi whispered the reason to him.
Although Feng Zifan was very curious and wanted to go and take a look, he knew that they had signed a confidentiality agreement and could not reveal too much before the MV was officially released.
He was a little envious: “Go ahead. If it were me, I would have been eager to go.”
Yu Yi looked towards Xingshi.
Xingshi nodded and replied with an “OK”.
After class at noon, the two of them simply packed up and went downstairs to the company.
Yu Shu’s car had been waiting for a long time and set off as soon as they got in.
Xingshi looked out the window lazily, only to find that the route looked more and more familiar. After a moment, he opened the door and got out of the car, and saw three big words: Linlan Garden.
Yu Shu had just arrived, with Director Li and others standing beside him.
He greeted her with a smile: “I am here.”
Xingshi raised an eyebrow: “Don’t you want to watch the MV?”
Yu Shu explained: “Director Li and the others were busy all morning and were hungry. I thought you guys must be hungry too after training so hard, so I thought we should have a meal together first and then watch the MV.”
Xingshi said “Oh” and followed them in.
The group walked along the winding corridor and passed a private room halfway. Yu Shu suddenly stopped and said, “Hey, I think I heard my friend’s voice. Wait for me for a moment.”
Xing Shi was surprised: “Ah? Was there a sound just now? Did you hear it?”
Yu Yi hesitated and shook his head.
Xing Shi looked at Director Li and the others again, and seeing that the latter also shook his head, he looked at Yu Shu.
Yu Shu maintained his expression: “It was just one sound, and it sounded very similar to me.”
Xingshi was very impressed: “You can tell it with just one sound?”
Yu Shu smiled and said, “Maybe he’s a singer, he’s more sensitive to sound, I’ll go take a look, wait for me.”
Xingshi wanted to know what he was up to, so he agreed cooperatively and stood there without moving.
Then he called the system: “Check who is in that private room.”
The system worked efficiently and quickly provided him with seven names, both men and women, who were about the same age as them, either celebrities in the circle or young masters and young ladies from wealthy families.
It said, “Nothing too special. What does he want to do?”
Xingshi waited patiently for a few minutes, and when he saw Yushu coming back, he told them who was inside.
When Director Li and his friends heard that there was someone they knew, they couldn’t help but go over as well. The two newcomers, Xing Shi and Yu Yi, naturally followed behind.
Just as the system said, there are young men and women inside.
When the other party saw the two of them, they all looked over and asked their names.
Xingshi felt some of the burning gazes on his body that were hard to ignore. He reacted silently, and while responding with a few words, he couldn’t help but take out his cell phone to contact Fu Xiuning.
Xing Shi: [Brother, Yu Shu and I are going out to eat]
Fu Xiuning: [You have already said that]
Xingshi: [In Linlan Garden]
Fu Xiuning: [So?]
Xing Shi: [I don’t know if my guess is right, I feel like he wants to introduce me to someone so that I can have a relationship and feel his feelings.]
Fu Xiuning: “?”
