What the hell?!
Song Wenjing looked stunned, as though he had heard something earth-shattering. He strode over to Fu Yanci and grabbed his arm. "What the hell did you just say?!"
"Take a good look! That's Chi An! Chi Shuran's brother!"
"Chi Shuran beat me up! It's one thing not to care about me, but now you're running over to grin and joke around with her brother?!"
"Where does that leave me?!"
Breathing hard, he pulled forcefully on Fu Yanci's arm, trying to drag him back. But after all that tugging, Fu Yanci remained planted in the exact same spot.
He was a grown man, and he couldn't even drag one person away?!
Mustering his courage, he pulled hard again, but Fu Yanci still showed no sign of budging. Song Wenjing looked up furiously, only to see Fu Yanci gripping the table tightly with one hand while a group of crew members clung desperately to the other side.
Fine! Just great! So that's how you want to play it?!
If I can't drag this stubborn mule away, can't I get rid of Chi An instead?!
Song Wenjing circled around to the other side. He had just raised his hand, before he could bring it down, when two hands appeared, one in front and one behind, and grabbed his arm.
Fu Yanci/Chi Shuran: "What are you trying to do?"
Song Wenjing: ???
"You're all picking on me?! Do you really think an honest man can't go crazy?!"
Twisting around, Song Wenjing shook off both hands, snatched the cherries from Chi An, and stuffed every last one into his mouth, completely ignoring the looks everyone gave him. After robbing Chi An, he went on to raid Fu Yanci's pockets, searching him from top to bottom. Even when his mouth could hold no more, he kept desperately cramming them in.
Finally, he fixed his gaze on Chi Shuran. Meeting his eyes, Chi Shuran immediately covered her pockets and retreated two steps, warning him sharply, "Don't come any closer. My luggage is right here. Watch out, or I'll stab you to death with my heels."
"Stab me to death?"
"Hahaha! Do you still think I'm the same extraordinarily handsome, immensely talented, friendly Song Wenjing I once was?!"
"I am now Lord Niu Gulu Songshi Wenjing!"
Looking utterly disgusted, Chi Shuran calmly walked over to her suitcase, pulled a high-heeled shoe from the bag behind it, then walked around him to stand beside Chi An. "Then do you know who I am?"
"Who are you?"
"The Niu Gulu Imperial Princess stands before you! How dare you act so insolently!"
Watching the farce unfold before his very eyes, Chi An grew interested and chimed in right after Chi Shuran. "The emperor has arrived! Why are you not kowtowing at once?!"
His mind going blank, Song Wenjing was just about to lift his robes. Only when his hands met empty air did he abruptly come to his senses. Pointing at Chi Shuran, he roared so loudly his voice cracked, "What kind of princess and emperor are you two?! You're still trying that routine on me?!"
Chi An said, "Genius on the left, madness on the right, and me in the middle: I'm the son of heaven."
"What's the son of heaven? The emperor."
[There's a second half to that saying? Genius and madness-what a summary. Son of heaven? Shouldn't the original combination be "just went mad"?]
[Haven't their actions explained it? Just went mad. They only just went mad. Checks out.]
[Rich people have such spectacular mental states. What's wrong with a poor person like me being a little crazier than them?]
[Please don't call yourself poor. We have a nice-sounding name. Please call poor people price-sensitive consumers.]
"Then I'll be the empress, hehe. That makes me a couple with the emperor."
Ignoring every gaze around him, Fu Yanci dropped a bombshell, single-handedly blowing everyone away.
His pupils trembling in shock, Song Wenjing could no longer spare a thought for his image. He scrambled over to Fu Yanci. "Tell me you were joking just now. You only said that offhand, right?"
"What did you say?! You sneaky, conniving, two-faced little bitch! You actually have those kinds of feelings for my brother!!! I won't let you get away with this!"
Stamping her feet in fury, Chi Shuran threw away the high heel in her hand and reached for Chi An's arm. Seeing that hand coming toward him, Chi An's eyes widened in horror, and he ran straight out from between the two of them.
"I'm a germaphobe! Don't touch me with that hand you held a shoe with!"
Chi Shuran: ...
Fu Yanci: ...
Song Wenjing: ...
The three became tangled together. Watching Chi An run off, Fu Yanci's gaze traveled down Chi Shuran's hand, and he spotted that paw resting on his arm. "Don't touch me either! If Chi An finds it disgusting, so do I!"
As they struggled, Song Wenjing kept his eyes trained on Chi Shuran's hand, dodging it precisely. "You can't touch me either! Fu Yanci's the one stealing your brother! If you want to touch someone, touch him!"
"Those were brand-new shoes I bought!" Chi Shuran bellowed, slapping the table. With a crack, the table split apart before everyone's eyes, scattering envelopes all over the floor.
Looking at the broken table, the crew member behind it was heartbroken. "Boohoo-I have to sort everything out again. Good thing I kept holding up the other half. Boohoo-"
"They're all such royal pains. Boohoo-everyone else does tasks, and they argue. Boohoo-I'm just a humble, powerless worker. Why do you have to bully me too? Boohoo-"
The crew member muttered under her breath as she picked up the envelopes. When she looked up and met the four of them's eyes, the corners of her mouth swiftly lifted. "Are there any other questions? You'll have to wait a little before drawing envelopes here."
"Oh, and Song Wenjing's task is complete too. You'll have to wait a little before drawing your next task. We need to sort things out here."
[This girl is so cute too. The mutterings of a working stiff.]
[Good lord, I can't even imagine how spectacular it would've been if that slap had landed on Song Wenjing.]
[Boohoo-does my wife's hand hurt? My poor wife. Let me blow on it for you-]
[Girl, that's enough. Our Wenjing's life matters too.]
[Fine, fine, fine. None of you treat our Wenjing like a human being, huh? We feel bad for him. Taking our baby away.]
[Did none of you notice something weird float past up there just now?]
[I saw it. I was typing and didn't get to scroll back in time. You can't unsend live comments. Now I'd rather believe my eyes were playing tricks on me.]
[Girls, I think my eyes were playing tricks on me too. Go check who that person calling her his wife is.]
[Hahaha, I drank some fake booze just now, so my vision's a little off too. (Can't laugh.) Hurry up and tell me it's fake.]
[(Smile)(Smile) I checked the profile. Aaaah!!! Why! Why is it him!!! I'm going crazy!!!]
[Where's Zhou Zhichu?! My award-winning actor! What were you just doing?!]
Outside the set, a man in a blue-green robe stared helplessly at the screen on his phone, then hastily turned it off. Looking guilty, he glanced at the man standing a short distance away, talking to the director.
With trembling hands, he picked up the script on the table, but he couldn't take in a single word.
I'm done for. Is Brother Li going to kill me?
