A big starâs story with Young Master Chen naturally drew countless fans.
Cao Zijin was the type who always played the empress in every TV show or movie. Liu Feifei, on the other hand, was always cast as the poor concubine everyone felt sorry for.
It was all about the aura.
Cao Zijin wanted Chen Fan to take a few more photos, but he refused. Chen Fan found an excuse, a place to sit, and started playing on his phone. He was here for a set visit and waiting for the day to end, his self-imposed task for today.
This task wouldnât impact the plot much, but Chen Fan disliked adding scenes. However, he couldnât avoid it since it was a command from his mother. He had once disrupted the entire cycle in the past, causing his mother sorrow, and in a fit of anger, heâd crushed every character.
Not with force, just pure strategy. But thatâs all in the past. A good man doesnât dwell on past victories.
Liu Feifei touched her cheek and sat next to Chen Fan. âBrother, you donât need to feel pressured. I wonât blame you. I know you wouldnât really hit a girl.â
âNo, I would. I like hitting women.â
Liu Feifei looked at him in disbelief and said, âBrother, stop joking.â
In truth, Chen Fan didnât like interacting with Liu Feifei.
Theyâd only interacted a few times, and to Chen Fan, this woman was a bug in the story.
âBrother, you seem so lonely. You donât fit in with this world.â
. Damn it, sometimes Chen Fan suspected she knew the script or something.
âWhy would I be lonely? I lack nothing.â
âI donât know, itâs just a feeling that youâre lonely, like a footless bird that flies endlessly. When it lands, it dies. So sad.â
Chen Fan ruffled his hair, feeling a surge of anger.
This was why Chen Fan didnât like herâaround her, lying was impossible. She seemed to see right through peopleâs lies.
âDonât worry. Iâll fly far and high. Isnât that life? Striving, working hard.â
Liu Feifei tilted her head. âBut ⦠when youâre flying, you have no one by your side. Brother, can you even love anyone?â
âI love a lot of people. I love all beauties.â
âIsnât it said that youâre the last virgin in Qincheng? Is that not true?â
âHaha, Iâm just particular.â
âSigh, I heard that boys who stay that way too long suffer health problems. Brother, if you can, you should find a girlfriend. Itâs good for you. At least, people wonât talk.â
Just then, Director Zhao called her over, and Liu Feifei ran off.
âBig brother, hang in there! I feel like Ye Aotian wants to kill you. He gets mad so easily; heâs such a barbarian.â
But Liu Feifei ran off.
Chen Fan had met many female protagonists throughout the novel, but this second female lead was the only one who piqued his interest. She was so simple and innocent, almost as if the author had created her to add a bit of tenderness to an otherwise gritty story.
She was the kind of naïve girl whoâd care about others even if she were kidnapped.
Tao Xiaoyao handed Chen Fan a pack of cigarettes.
âFallen for her?â
âWhat? What are you talking about?â
âNothing, just kidding. I noticed Zhu Yeqingâs power increased again. Have you twoâ¦?â
âCould you tell?â
âMore or less. Youâre lucky. Zhu Yeqingâs cultivation does depend on men. Sheâll never betray you. Her technique means sheâll only ever love her first man.â
Chen Fan said, âWhat does that have to do with me? Sheâs just my subordinate. Do you think Iâm that bored?â
As night fell, Chen Fan counted on his fingers; it was almost time for things to happen.
Based on his memory, it was the protagonistâs time to show off, and there might even be something else happening tonight.
Normally, Chen Fanâs scenes were at night, but since he was already here, he might as well watch.
Suddenly, Chen Fan grew alert and started scanning his surroundings. Soon, he noticed a figure squatting on a tree in the distance.
The person was wearing a cap, a tracksuit, and a mask. It was a woman, and based on her breathing, it was Ling Yuyan, damn it.
Chen Fan also sensed two other presences. He hadnât noticed them before, but it was clear these two were in sync with their breathing.
This likely meant they were here to cause a stir.
The novel featured twin female leads twice, and the nearest ones were members of Ye Aotianâs team.
The team had five members; two were dead, three were left.
Three women, a pair of twins, and one solo woman. These three hadnât appeared in a while, supposedly reporting back to their clan.
Probably, if his memory served right. They had indeed tried to kill him multiple times, and a few times, theyâd almost pushed him to the edge, causing him significant trouble.
He looked over at Tao Xiaoyao by his side. It didnât add up; with someone as fierce as her protecting him, they should know better than to try anything.
Was there another reason?
Forget it. As long as the general direction didnât change, as long as the protagonist could flaunt himself, it didnât matter.
