chapter 84
Jiang Yuming was covered in sweat. He performed with great effort, trying his best to bring out every emotion and perfect every detail.
His scene was a highly explosive one, and if he hadn't handled it well, he could have lost everything. Fortunately, he did it perfectly and finished the performance smoothly.
As soon as he stopped, he looked in Meng Youcheng's direction...
Seeing Situ Ming standing there, his fists clenched immediately. Without saying a word, he stepped off the stage and went to stand beside them...
"I……"
Meng Youcheng looked into Situ Ming's eyes and hesitated for a long time.
"Uncle..."
Just then, the boy came to his side, grabbed his hand, and said, "I'm so sweaty, can you take me to the restroom and help me dry off? I'm afraid I'll catch a cold again..."
Without giving the man a chance to speak, the boy grabbed his hand and hurriedly walked towards the restroom...
As soon as Jiang Yuming entered the cubicle, he quickly locked the door...
Meng Youcheng also took out a towel from his backpack, lifted his clothes, and slowly and carefully wiped away the sweat...
"Uncle... what did he say to you?"
"Who?"
The man looked up at him, then belatedly realized, "Oh... he... didn't say anything..."
Why does he keep coming to see you?
Jiang Yuming said somewhat agitatedly, "Why do I always pester you? Why do I always try to ambush you when I'm not looking? Why do I always...?"
"You're overthinking it..."
Meng Youcheng interrupted him, his hand gripping the towel tightly. "He..."
"Uncle... do you think he likes you? Does he want to take you away from me? Does he have ulterior motives towards you? Does he want to take advantage of me when I'm not looking...?"
Faced with the boy's barrage of questions, the man thought for a long time before saying, "You're really overthinking it... With looks like this, who would like me? He... definitely wouldn't like me, you're really... overthinking it..."
"Uncle..."
Jiang Yuming stepped forward and grabbed his arms. "Don't belittle yourself. Don't say things like that anymore. You're very handsome, really handsome, which makes me feel insecure when I'm with you, especially when I see you with other people..."
"I always have these wild guesses, and it's really upsetting. If possible, could you please stay away from him? It might be a hassle, but please try not to talk to that person when I'm not around..."
Meng Youcheng was just about to speak...
The boy muttered to himself, "If he could just disappear from this world forever, maybe I wouldn't have to suffer like this?"
Meng Youcheng was immediately shocked. "Huh?"
"It's nothing, I meant..."
The boy looked down at him. "He gave me a very bad feeling. I hope I never see him again. I didn't want to kill anyone, really... I'm still me. I didn't want to kill anyone. You have to believe me, okay, Uncle..."
Looking into his innocent eyes, Meng Youcheng froze for a few seconds. "Oh... don't grab my hand anymore. I'll wipe it clean for you and then we'll go out..."
The boy then released his hands...
Meng Youcheng carefully wiped himself with a towel...
Five minutes later, he finally finished wiping. "OK, let's go..."
Just as he turned to leave, Jiang Yuming suddenly picked him up from behind. Meng Youcheng panicked and asked, "What...what are you doing?"
……
Where did you guys go?
They had just come out of the restroom when they bumped into Fang Tingting.
Just as Meng Youcheng was about to explain, Jiang Yuming, who was standing next to him, said with a smile, "Oh... I haven't been feeling well. I keep catching colds lately, and the doctor told me to be careful. During the performance just now, I sweated a lot, so I went to ask my manager to wipe my sweat. If I catch a cold later... it would be a real problem?"
Fang Tingting smiled. "Oh, I see... But the air conditioner here is indeed broken today. They'll send someone to fix it tomorrow. You'll have to get used to it. Most of the time you'll be filming outdoors, so the weather will be unpredictable..."
"Um……"
Fang Tingting hesitated for a moment, "Just now... you weren't eliminated. Your performance was excellent. Even as a supporting role, what you just showed almost overshadowed the main character. The rankings are out, guess where you are?"
"Hmm...first place?"
The woman smiled and said, "Not yet. You're ranked fifth in our team, and tenth overall. That's already a pretty good result. Take it slow..."
"So...who is number one?"
Fang Tingting thought for a moment, "Are you talking about our team, or the whole team?"
"The whole team..."
"It seems to be... Situ Ming."
Situ Ming, who had been watching everything from a distance, looked at the young man with a meaningful smile...
He held up one finger, making a "five" with his other hand, and then made a "one" with his other hand. After making sure Jiang Yuming saw both, he briefly raised his middle finger, accompanied by a mocking smile...
The boy's face immediately turned ashen...
Meng Youcheng, who was standing nearby, was observing all of this...
He was ready to grab Jiang Yuming's hand at any moment. Given the boy's personality, he would definitely roll up his sleeves and fight back if someone mocked him...
but……
This time was strange; instead of acting impulsively, he even smiled…
A strange smile, eerie, sinister, and terrifying.
……
At noon, Meng Youcheng and Jiang Yuming sat down together to eat the boxed lunches they had just bought...
The boy said as he ate, "After the meeting this afternoon, we can go home..."
The man glanced at him. "I know..."
Meng Youcheng picked all the meat out of his bowl and put it into the boy's bowl, "Eat more, you worked hard just now..."
Jiang Yuming smiled happily, but after a second, his smile froze. "If Uncle... you want to use this as a reward to reward me, I think it's really unnecessary..."
Meng Youcheng looked bewildered. "What?"
The boy picked up a piece of meat. "Uncle...didn't you want to use this as a reward?"
"award?"
"Yes, I did so well just now, I definitely deserve a reward. These few pieces of meat... I think they're too little, or rather... I'm not very satisfied..."
The man thought for a minute, then decided to play along, "So, what do you want?"
"I want...you to kiss me."
"No... there are too many people here."
"Uncle..."
Jiang Yuming leaned close to his ear and said with a smile, "Are you shy?"
The man glanced at him. "I just feel embarrassed, and it's not good for your reputation. If someone takes a picture, all your female fans will unfollow you. How will you ever be able to work again?"
The boy thought for a moment, "Can I ask for something else?"
"Can……"
"Tonight...do it with me more than twice...?"
Before he could finish speaking, Meng Youcheng nearly spat out the food in his mouth. "Are you crazy?! My body can't take it... You already need it every night, which is exhausting enough, and you're doing it more than twice, you really..."
"May I sit here?"
Just then, a woman's voice interrupted their conversation.
Jiang Yuming glanced at the other person, smiled, and said, "Of course."
Fang Tingting sat down next to them...
The woman said while eating, "You and your brother are really alike, especially in terms of your temperament. It seems like it was something you were born with?"
"My...brother?"
The boy was immediately shocked. "Sister Tingting...you didn't choose me because of...my brother, did you?"
The woman tossed her hair and smiled, saying, "Of course not. I won't choose you because of your brother. I don't like people bringing their own money into the team, and I don't like shady dealings. I hope that someone with real talent wins the championship..."
"I chose you. Don't worry, it has nothing to do with your brother. I value your acting skills, including your looks. You have the makings of an actor. I was once like that myself, and I know you didn't rely on your family to get here step by step..."
"I used to think that I could climb very high without relying on anyone, but I later realized that's not true. It's about your own abilities, which you should cherish, not let go and benefit others..."
"You may not understand what I'm saying now, but after some time, when you see the true face of the entertainment industry, you'll know how important what I'm saying is."
Jiang Yuming hesitated for a few minutes, "Sister Tingting, you..."
"I know all about your company's shady dealings, but I'm glad you didn't choose to accept it. However, I'm also a little sad. I know you're young and want to win fair and square, but I want to tell you..."
"If that's really what you think, you'll miss out on a lot of good opportunities. Your family background, your brother—these are your strengths, your extra resources. You should cherish these things. That's roughly the idea..."
The woman thought for a moment, "Tomorrow is the actors' competition, and you've drawn the current number one spot, Situ Ming. I hope you can perform well and at least make it through tomorrow's competition."
