On set.
Director Yu hurried over to ease the tension. "All right, all right, anger hurts the kidneys, anger hurts the kidneys. Everyone, give a little. Give a little."
Zhuang Luo stepped forward with a show of generosity to persuade him. "Forget it, Weizhou. Xu Su might just be in a bad mood lately, so don't..."
"Who said I was in a bad mood?"
Xu Su stopped smiling and put on a stern face. "I'm in such a good mood I want to blow up the planet, and you're saying I'm in a bad mood?"
Everyone on set: ...?
Live comments: ...?
What kind of new way of expressing yourself was this???
"Ahem!"
The silent battle ended with two light coughs from Director Yu. "All right, all right, let's continue."
As he finished speaking, Huo Yuchen withdrew his gaze from Xu Su.
Then the second round began.
Director Yu started. "I hope tomorrow-"
Shen Chuanzhu: "I hope tomorrow you can-"
Lu Jing: "I hope tomorrow you can get your wish-"
Xu Su: "I hope tomorrow you can get your wish of cerebral palsy-"
Everyone: "...?"
Live comments: [???]
Unperturbed, Huo Yuchen calmly continued, "I hope tomorrow you can get your wish of cerebral palsy and epilepsy-"
Everyone: "...??"
Going for a repeat performance, were they??
Live comments: [??????]
You two just had to play it like this, huh?
To Huo Yuchen's right, Li Weizhou clenched his fists and held himself back again and again before finally gritting his teeth and continuing, "I hope tomorrow you can get your wish of cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and constipation!"
Director Yu: "..."
Could you not look at me while saying that?
[Hahahaha, guys, does anyone get me? I'm seriously laughing myself rich. The look on Li Weizhou's face, hahahahaha.]
[The director's expression is pretty spectacular too, hahahahahaha.]
[Fuck! I think I've found a ship. Why is Huo Yuchen going along with Xu Su so readily? Holy shit.]
[Xu Su is definitely doing it on purpose! He's targeting our Weizhou!]
Before the third round began, Li Weizhou asked to change positions.
He refused to stand last again.
Director Yu considered it. Figuring no one would want to stand last, he changed the rules on the spot. "Let's draw lots."
Their positions would follow the order they drew.
Five minutes later, the results were as follows:
Lu Jing ① → Shen Chuanzhu ② → Xu Su ③ → Huo Yuchen ④ → Li Weizhou ⑤.
Xu Su laughed. "Some people have dubious intentions; some are destined for misfortune."
The person destined for misfortune: "..."
The third round began.
Director Yu: "Every day when I get up-"
Lu Jing: "Every day after I get up-"
Shen Chuanzhu: "Every day after I get up, I want to-"
Xu Su: "Every day after I get up, I want to commit crimes-"
Huo Yuchen: "Every day after I get up, I want to commit crimes and go to prison-"
Everyone: ???
Live comments: ???
[Xu Su, you'd better just be saying that!]
[As soon as it gets to Xu Su, I know the sentence is going to veer off course.]
[Just saying, could the relevant authorities look into this? I suspect Xu Su and Huo Yuchen mean every word.]
[Hahahaha, this is so absurd.]
There was absolutely no way to continue that sentence.
Li Weizhou's complexion could now be described with a song-
"Red, orange, yellow, green, blue~ So colorful..."
Okay, stop right there.
There was no suspense about the final result. Li Weizhou and Zhuang Luo suffered a crushing defeat and were put in charge of preparing everyone's dinner that day.
Since they would be eating together, dinner would be held at the production team's luxury villa.
Until dinner was ready, the other four guests were free to roam nearby.
Xu Su found somewhere quiet to contemplate life.
Mostly, he contemplated how to get that priceless heart-shaped diamond back from Li Weizhou.
He couldn't very well bring it up directly, because the original owner of his body hadn't left any evidence.
If he simply went straight to Li Weizhou and demanded it, the latter might not admit anything. If things blew up, Li Weizhou might even hire a lawyer to sue him for defamation.
He had to find a way to make Li Weizhou return it voluntarily.
Fuck, the more he thought about it, the more cheated he felt!
Before transmigrating, he'd practically worn out his electronic wooden fish from tapping it!
Never mind making him some domineering CEO or wealthy young master, a pampered wife or young married woman, but surely he shouldn't have ended up as someone this miserable?
Even making him a gorgeous housekeeper in a rich household who had illicit affairs with the master every day would have been fine!
Sigh...
Forget it. Since he was here, he might as well go crazy.
"Xu Su? What are you doing here?"
Someone suddenly spoke from beneath his backside.
Xu Su looked down. It was Lu Jing.
"Nothing. Just reminiscing about the past."
"The past??"
Lu Jing's brain froze for a moment, and he asked in bewilderment, "What past can you reminisce about up in a tree?"
Xu Su tipped his head back to gaze at the sky, looking forlorn, as though he had seen through the mortal world and grown weary of worldly affairs. "Missing the days when I was a monkey."
"...When you were a monkey??"
Lu Jing was utterly baffled. "What's so good about being a monkey??"
"What's bad about being a monkey?"
Xu Su tilted his head to look at him, perfectly serious. "No work or school, no marriage or kids, and you get protection from animal welfare organizations. If you work a little harder, you can even rule Flower-Fruit Mountain. What's bad about that?"
Lu Jing: "..."
I actually have no comeback.
[Xu Su! You! Don't be so ridiculous!]
[Fuck, I actually think he has a point. Shit!]
[+1! I think he makes a lot of sense too!]
"You're already this unlucky as a human, yet you're still dreaming of being a monkey? Aren't you afraid you'll die even more miserably?"
Another voice abruptly sounded from the side.
Bracing himself against a tree trunk, Xu Su turned and saw a tall, handsome figure standing behind the tree.
Dense foliage blocked the man's face, but that didn't stop Xu Su from recognizing Huo Yuchen by his refined bearing, perfectly proportioned figure, and clear, mellow voice.
"What's there to be afraid of?"
Xu Su replied calmly, "Whether you're a human or a monkey, you can't escape death in the end anyway. At least a monkey wouldn't be saddled with fifty million in loans."
Hearing those last few words, Lu Jing was stunned. "You owe fifty million in loans?!"
"...?"
Xu Su remained expressionless. "Is your internet a little slow? The whole world knows about this."
[LMAO. Since you know the whole world knows, you still have the nerve to bring it up again?]
[Sorry, everyone. Our Jingjing has been spending time at a Buddhist shrine lately, so his internet's a little slow.]
[Hahahaha, let's see how he pays it back!]
[To the person above, I don't get what you're gloating about. Can't he pay it all off just by selling the diamond?]
Before you continue
