"Yunyu, you won't ask me what happened during that retake of Bai Shijue's scene?"
"Huh? What happened? All is well, right?" Yunyu asked.
"All is well except for one person, Bi Hexian," Huang Jinren sighed, full of woe. "He played the part as Bai Shijue really terribly. It's so terrible that Director Shen didn't even bother to check the recording. He just took what was the bare minimum and be done with it."
"He even scolded Bi Hexian for being mediocre and unprofessional," Huang Jinren reported.
"But Han Ye Gege is still shielding him?
…
"As expected," Yunyu said lightly. He just shrugged it out as he knew that was going to happen. "I'm not surprised, Jinren-Ge."
"Yunyu…"
"Well, as long as Han Ye Gege is happy, I guess. I hope I can continue supporting him until this drama series ends! You still have plenty of scenes, right?"
"I do. I will have to do another shoot today, actually."
"Oh-ho, no rest then. Then, good luck, Jinren-Ge. If you'd like, you should come to my house on Saturday, and I will cook you something for lunch!"
"That's a promise then," Huang Jinren kept that in mind. "I will come Saturday noon, so we can have nice lunch together."
"Sure, talk to you later, Jinren-Ge."
"Talk to you later," Huang Jinren hung up the call first. He was glad that Yunyu didn't really care about the torment that Han Ye dished out.
Or maybe, Yunyu had grown numb of it. He was also happy that Yunyu finally auditioned for something. Staying around Han Ye for too long would only tear Yunyu apart.
Huang Jinren took a bath and went to the movie studio for another shoot. He had plenty of scenes with Han Ye today. Although he really hated that guy, Yunyu told him to stay professional.
So he did.
Huang Jinren arrived quite early, and there was only the staff preparing the set right now. Huang Jinren walked to his room to prepare himself when he found a man standing in front of Han Ye's room.
He frowned, but he didn't want to have anything to do with that vile Han Ye and his new pet, Bi Hexian. So he just walked past him.
"Mr. Huang Jinren is still mad at me?" Bi Hexian suddenly said.
Huang Jinren halted his step. He looked over his shoulder to see Bi Hexian leaning on the door.
This bootleg version of Yunyu had a smirk on his face as if he was looking at something interesting, "Mr. Huang, I just don't understand."
…
"I don't understand. Why would you waste your energy to get mad at me just because I said that that man called Yunyu is bugging me? Don't you see that he looks at me with his evil eyes? I bet he is jealous because I can get Han Ye Gege's favour without doing much."
Huang Jinren's eyes widened. He interrupted Bi Hexian and asked, "You called Han Ye as your Gege?"
"Uh-huh, I mean, it's Han Ye Gege who told me that I should call him Gege rather than Mr. Han," the smirk on Bi Hexian's lips widened. He looked so proud. "Obviously, because I am such a fresh young man, a beauty that fits his criteria so much~."
…
Huang Jinren wanted to ignore Bi Hexian again. He bet this little bitch did this to taunt him.
"I mean, of course, Han Ye Gege told me to call him Gege because I'm such a good looking man. Unlike that man called Yunyu, he is so shameless. How could he call Han Ye as his Gege when Han Ye never allowed him to? Hihi, what a shameless kid. He really doesn't know his place, right?"
Huang Jinren turned his body and grabbed Bi Hexian's arm. He clenched the arm tightly until his nail almost pierced Bi Hexian's skin.
"Listen, you little counterfeited shit. You have no right to slander Yunyu at all. He is loved by everyone but that coldhearted monster. He has more worth than you, so shut up before I punch your teeth out," Huang Jinren threatened. But rather than getting scared,
"Oh~ Mr. Huang is so scary, I'm shivering," Bi Hexian said, still with a mocking grin on his face. "In the end, I'm the one who got the role, right? I am Bai Shijue in this series, not that guy."
"You!" Huang Jinren raised his fist, but the door behind Bi Hexian suddenly opened, and Han Ye glared at Huang Jinren.
"Don't you dare hurting him, Huang Jinren."
Huang Jinren gritted his teeth. He really wanted to beat both of them. He didn't even care if he would face a huge backlash that might end his career. His accumulated wealth and investment were enough to live comfortably without his acting gig.
But he cared about Yunyu because Yunyu's love for Han Ye was really pure and dedicated. He worried that Yunyu wouldn't talk to him anymore if he beat Han Ye up.
Thus, he rudely threw Bi Hexian to Han Ye and cursed at both of them, "You, little counterfeit bitch, don't think that you're better than Yunyu. Just because you got the role doesn't mean you're talented or better than him. That means you just have one coldhearted vile monster who wants to torment Yunyu for the sake of fun."
"And you, Han Ye, Bai Yunyu already auditioned for another role. He is going to star in another series. If you dare to ruin this role again, Han Ye, I swear I will fucking kill you. Don't touch him, you heartless bastard."
Huang Jinren turned around and walked away. He was trying to curb his emotion because he didn't understand how could Yunyu fall in love with a man like Han Ye.
Meanwhile, Han Ye was staring at Huang Jinren's back. He was also surprised that Bai Yunyu would be auditioning somewhere else. He really thought that little shit wouldn't do anything but mope for his unfortunate fate.
Bi Hexian shrugged, "That guy is really blind. Obviously, I got chosen as Bai Shijue because I'm better than him, right, Gege?"
"Hm, you are."
"Hehe, Han Ye Gege is really the best!"
