Unedited (I’m looking for an editor~)

With the breeze brushing by his ears, Bai Zhi secretly glanced to the side at the person engrossed in driving, and he suddenly felt somewhat happy in his heart.

Now, the villain shouldn’t hate him, right?

Isn’t he a step away from completing his mission now?

It would be great if he could just progress more……

Bai Zhi pondered for a while, suddenly saying: “Senior, let me tell you1 a joke ba.”

Fang Jingmo gave him a sideways look, not agreeing or refuting.

Bai Zhi thought about it: “Once upon a time, there was a cat and he fell in love with another cat. But the cat refused his wooing because she wanted to marry a bear and give birth to a bear-cat.”2

Bai Zhi amused himself: “Hahahahaha……”

Fang Jingmo: ……

Bai Zhi: “Once upon a time, there was a frog and he snuck a kiss from the rabbit then slipped away. After a toad had come out from inside of the pond, the rabbit had laughed heartily, it was allergic to it ba!”

Bai Zhi amused himself once more: “Hahahahaha……”

Fang Jingmo: ……

Bai Zhi laughed as he continued to speak: “Once upon a time——”

“Once upon a time, there was a foolish demon.” Fang Jingmo suddenly said, interrupting Bai Zhi’s words: “It had not yet cultivated its human form, it was dim-witted and also didn’t know how to find things for when it was hungry. When it saw nestlings inside of their nest crying out to eat, it climbed up into the nest and also followed after them and cried out. As a result, it was pecked all over by the mother bird, and uglily tried to frantically escape back into its cave-dwelling.”

Fang Jingmo’s voice was nonchalant: “Is it funny?”

Bai Zhi shook his head as if his life depended on it.

But Fang Jingmo slightly hooked his lips: “It’s funny.”

Bai Zhi didn’t have the slightest idea of what integrity was, and immediately changed to nodding: “It’s funny.”

Fang Jingmo turned his head as he slowly parked his car.

“We’ve arrived, get out.”

Bai Zhi heard what was said and took a glimpse at the environment of the building, discovering that Fang Jingmo had already sent himself downstairs.

“Thank you, senior!” He said no more, hurriedly opened the door and got out.

Fang Jingmo immediately restarted the car, slowly leaving the place.

Bai Zhi watched the person gradually leave further away, silently speaking:

“Uncle, are you here?”

“What is it?”

“Just now. Fang Jingmo’s story, what does it mean ah?”

The system was silent for a moment: “Who knows?” After a moment, it spoke again: “Don’t worry about it.”

“Okay.” Bai Zhi gave up.

……

It wasn’t until the next day when he was awakened by the sound of his phone being bombed indiscriminately that Bai Zhi remembered what he had overlooked.

“Du Jian! Take a look at what you’ve done! Running into people in the middle of the night? You’ve fucking grown up!”

Bai Zhi was lying down with hazy eyes, obviously not yet awake: “What?”

“Take a look online yourself. Congratulations ah, Young Master Du,3 you’ve4 made it to the top of the hot search again ah!”

Bai Zhi rubbed his eyes, opening Weibo with one hand.

#DistressedForLiuYi#

#DuJianGetOutOfTheEntertainmentCircle#

……

Topics like those flooded in a flash, Bai Zhi watched silently for a while. He turned off his phone and continued to sleep.

Nothing happened to Fang Jingmo, his food would guarantee he was alive and well. It’s all right, continue sleeping.

By the time Bai Zhi had woken up from his sleep, it was already dark outside of the window.

Bai Zhi opened his phone, and as expected, he saw seven or eight missed calls from Xu Feng and thought about whether he should call back or not.

The other party had already called first: “It finally got through…… Du Jian, tell me, how did you fool around with Fang Jingmo?”

Bai Zhi: “??”

“You didn’t even tell me about such a big thing?” Xu Feng’s tone was very hurried: “Punk, you’re a little capable. So, I’ll help you with that reality show opportunity. Do you know how to make a better relationship with Fang Jingmo?”

After he5 said that, he refused to listen and hung up as fast as possible.

Bai Zhi was still puzzled: “What, I had already fooled around with Fang Jingmo?”

“Go onto Weibo and take a look.” The system suggested.

Bai Zhi obediently opened the interface and found that the hot search had already gone in a strange direction.

#DistressedForDuJian#

#KeyboardWarriorsOweDuJianAnApology#

Bai Zhi clicked in with a dumbfounded face, discovering that the cause was Fang Jingmo voicing out on Weibo.

He showed a piece of surveillance and Liu Yi’s medical bill, stating that that was simply a moment of Du Jian’s kindness and that the bumping into someone didn’t exist. 

Then Liu Yi herself spoke out, explaining that she had simply fainted from hypoglycemia, and shot a video of herself to prove that she was indeed safe and sound. She also apologised to Du Jian on Weibo. Because he had actually done a good deed in passing, Du Jian was faced with scolding all day. She felt very sorry for this.

Du Jian very strongly brought out two waves of hot searches in a day, and they’re still hanging high on Weibo at the moment.

“The truth came to light.” The system voiced: “I didn’t expect for the villain’s impression of us to be so good, even intentionally explaining for you.”

Bai Zhi smiled brightly at hearing what was said: “Then aren’t we getting even closer to our goal!”

“It seems so.”

Xu Feng’s speed was very quick, the chance he’d fought for was soon given to him. He didn’t forget repeatedly warn Bai Zhi: “Speak less, work more, and improve on a favourable impression with passerby’s.”

Bai Zhi answered one after another, intentionally arriving at the filming location in advance.

Apart from Bai Zhi, there were also two other girls who had arrived in advance. Liu Yi was dressed in a lively, yellow, short, goose skirt, she had a high ponytail appearing youthful and energetic. After she had looked around, she carried a bottle of water and headed directly for Bai Zhi, extending a hand towards him: 

“I didn’t have the opportunity to express my thanks before, Du Jian. Thank you for helping me last time.” 

Big brother’s6 beloved was thankful so Bai Zhi was nervous: “It’s alright.”

Liu Yi saw the man still not react, and very naturally withdrew her hand: “Do you have time soon? I’d like to treat you to a meal.”

To have a meal? The insides of Bai Zhi’s brain suddenly trembled, a man and a woman together, in the dead of the night, having dinner together…… That’s not good, if the villain misunderstands, the favourable impression I brushed up with great difficulty will go to waste!

“I’m not having the meal!” Bai Zhi hurriedly declined.

“Eh…….” Liu Yi didn’t expect this outcome: “Then……”

“I was just passing by, don’t worry about it.” Bai Zhi stated: “Or……you could pay back the medical fees?”

Liu Yi: “……Okay, let’s add our WeChats ba. I’ll transfer it to you.”

“I don’t play WeChat.”7

Liu Yi was already unable to maintain the smile on her face: “Ha?”

“Forget about it.” Bai Zhi promptly waved his hands: “You can just pay me back in the future.” 

Liu Yi didn’t say anything for quite a while, fortunately, the directing team appeared at this moment.

“Your mission is to head to the hut before sunrise and sort out your breakfast yourself. Draw lots to assemble groups of two, and begin.”

Bai Zhi stood in the same spot, waiting for the person who got him to come over. But once again, he saw Liu Yi swaying her high ponytail.

“Don’t look at me like that, I really did casually draw it out.”

Liu Yi put one hand on Bai Zhi’s shoulder, indicating with her head: “You can’t resist fate when it comes ah, come, let’s go together.”

Bai Zhi wanted to cry but there were no tears. But fate had found the wrong person!

The two people kept this strange atmosphere for a while. They suddenly stopped their steps, Liu Yi looked at the cogon grass house she had her eyes on that was leaking from three sides ahead of her, and coughed:

“Director, this is a bit fierce of you ah.”

“It’s okay. You’ll need to find the ingredients for your next meal.”

“Where do we get it?”

“That’s simply your business.” The program team stopped talking.

Liu Yi tilted her head, looking at Bai Zhi, indicating him to speak: “What do we do?”

Bai Zhi thought about it, then voiced: “We’ll go take a look for any other people, and borrow things.”

“Okay.” Liu Yi very frankly and straightforwardly agreed, finding something fishy a moment later: “It’s wrong, the inside of this house doesn’t have water.”

“The well is behind the mountain, you need to carry it on a shoulder pole yourselves.” The director reminded again.

“You find other people, I’ll carry water on a shoulder pole.” Bai Zhi made a prompt decision.

Liu Yi raised her head and looked at him, suddenly smiling: “I won’t necessarily be able to bring back many things.”

“They’re all yours if you find it.”

“Alright, I’m off.”

Liu Yi ran off in an instant, Bai Zhi finally let out a long breath, resigning himself to carrying the bucket.

When they had finally arrived at the back of the mountain, there were already two guys. They gritted their teeth and very carefully carried the buckets in their hands down the mountain road. Bai Zhi wasn’t too familiar with them, he also didn’t want to get too involved with people outside of the mission. He simply went around, quickly finished getting water, held the bucket and ran away.

Everyone who was left behind in a flash: ……??

Bai Zhi was very considerate and slowed down his speed to take care of the photography boy. A bucket of water went into the jar, the bucket was empty in an instant.

Bai Zhi looked at the absolutely empty bucket and looked at the not yet filled jar. He contemplated for a moment, lifting the bucket again.

The two male guests from before had not yet gone down the mountain, this kind of mountain road wasn’t easy to walk on. What’s more, they also had a large bucket in their hands. They slowed their speed, planning to rest a little for a while, then they heard a wave of footsteps.

Bai Zhi carried the bucket without regard for others, leaping ahead of their bodies. Not even a moment later, he was carrying another bucket of water down the mountain, going past them.

The two people who were left behind: ……

The great demon, Bai Zhi, filled the water jar until he was perfectly content and put down the bucket. He squatted, butt on the ground, beginning to think of what he should do.

He had not yet thought it out when Liu Yi came back, biting an apple: “I didn’t many people, just brought these back.” 

She casually tossed a plastic bag to Bai Zhi: “A few fruits, half it.”

Bai Zhi looked at these ordinary fruits lacking spiritual energy, his heart disdaining them: “I don’t want it, I’ll give it all to you ba.”

“Really? You’re not hungry?” Liu Yi took another bite.

Bai Zhi shook his head, suddenly remembering something after a moment: “Aren’t you hypoglycemic? Can you hang on?”

Liu Yi had a bright smile on her face: “Those days, I was losing weight. I’m all right, I got better early.”

“Oh.” 

“Are you worried about me?”

“I’m not worried.” Bai Zhi cast a glance at her.

Liu Yi, contrariwise, suddenly looked interested: “Do you have someone you like?”

“……Uncle, what’s this about?” Bai Zhi called out to the system.

“Don’t panic.” The system said: “She might fancy you.”

“??”

“Hurry up, say that you have someone you like and that it’s not her so that the female lead gives up quickly!” The system suggested.

“I have someone I like, but it’s not you.” Bai Zhi promptly answered.

“Oh.” Liu Yi finished taking the last bite of her apple: “Is she good-looking?”

“Good-looking!”

“Handsome?”

“Handsome!”

“Taller than me?”

“Taller than you!”

Liu Yi’s tone was profound: “I’m 177cm.”

“He’s9 187cm!”

There was a weird silence all around for a moment. Liu Yi glanced at him, tilting her head. Her tone was dragged very long: 

“So that’s how it is ah.”

Zenne: Hahhhhh, finally done. I could translate 3k chaps in 2 days or so but then it just makes me not wanna translate for a while. So, hope you can bear with these updates that come every 5 days or so. This arc is soon ending and I’m not looking forward to the next arc since I found it kinda boring. But, some of you guys might enjoy it so, whatever. There are also two phrases that I’m kinda iffy about, so I’ll fix those soon.
