How to Tame a God and the Lucky Beasts-Chapter 187 - 188: (7)
Ruan Xingwen had a bit of a headache.
Because Sister He had accepted a romance-themed reality show for him.
"Sister, I don’t want to fall in love..."
Isn’t career more appealing...
Zhang He tried to persuade him earnestly:
"Kiddo, it’s romance-themed, not actually asking you to fall in love."
Ruan Xingwen looked at Zhang He helplessly.
His sister probably thought he was naive? Even if his village had slow internet, he knew these kinds of shows were just a bunch of celebrities flirting to fulfill fans’ fantasies.
But these shows have advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is gaining a lot of CP fans.
The disadvantage, naturally, is offending the solo fans.
Zhang He saw that Ruan Xingwen still wasn’t agreeing, finally bringing out the trump card.
"The show pays a lot."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Xingwen’s ears perked involuntarily.
Zhang He thought:
Hmph, can’t I handle you? Little money-grubber.
Zhang He confidently placed the contract from the show on the small table in front of Ruan Xingwen.
"Read it yourself."
They were very ordinary program clauses.
The only two points that attracted Ruan Xingwen were:
[Actors participating have no script.]
Ruan Xingwen raised his eyes questioningly at Zhang He:
"No script?"
Is it fake?
Zhang He, admiring her freshly done nails, casually said:
"Yeah, why else would I have accepted the show for just that money?"
Indeed, variety shows are a good way to showcase an artist’s true personality. Many artists have decent public images, but once they participate in these shows, their real characters are exposed to be very different from their images.
The reason Zhang He was reluctant to let Ruan Xingwen participate in shows is...
The boss doesn’t allow it. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
It’s that simple.
The boss didn’t initially want to agree to this show, especially since it’s romance-themed.
But when the boss saw the fee offered by the show team, he was silent.
This silence lasted all night.
The next day, with two dark circles under his eyes, he appeared in front of Zhang He and left her with one word: "Accept."
Then, with a "bang," he went back to his room to sulk alone.
Zhang He, at a loss, realized after looking at the contract’s payout why it suddenly made sense.
At this price, Ruan Xingwen, the little money-gubber, would surely agree.
It’s not that YX Studio gives Ruan Xingwen a small share, but who wouldn’t want more money～
Thus, the contract was signed.
Three days later, the variety show began filming.
At five in the morning, the photographer and the follow-up director arrived at Ruan Xingwen’s villa.
Since they had notified in advance, the filming crew wasn’t stopped and went straight to Ruan Xingwen’s doorstep.
Li Mu had been waiting at the door, which was arranged beforehand.
Li Mu opened the yard gate, unlocked the villa door, and the group snuck into the villa.
As for why they snuck in – it was naturally because Ruan Xingwen didn’t know the program would pull such a stunt.
The purpose was to show the audience the most authentic side of their idol.
Although they kept it from Ruan Xingwen, Zhang He and Li Mu both knew about it and had put away some things that shouldn’t appear on camera beforehand.
Aiming to present the most genuine Ruan Xingwen to the audience.
Li Mu gently pushed open the door to Ruan Xingwen’s bedroom a crack, peeking inside at the central large bed.
Expressionless, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he reminded Ruan Xingwen to wear pajamas yesterday, and luckily Ruan Xingwen listened.
Li Mu adjusted his emotions, turned around with an expressionless face, and signaled to the shooting crew behind to come in.
The following director immediately understood, only bringing the camera guy quietly into the bedroom.
After entering the room, the camera guy found a spot with great lighting, set up the camera, waiting for Ruan Xingwen to wake up.
The follow-up director was a girl, who almost squealed when she saw Ruan Xingwen sleeping adorably.
Wow! Why did they have to show her this startling scene so early in the morning!
Look at those eyelashes, they are truly essence of lashes!
This smooth, baby-like little face, this chubby cheek, the slightly open pink lips, looking so peacefully asleep.
No one knew what Ruan Xingwen was dreaming of, his pink little tongue licking his lips slightly, looking so sensual, yet with such a face, looking pure as well.
It’s the embodiment of contradiction!
"Slurp."
An unidentified sound of swallowing saliva rang out, even though it was soft, it still woke up Ruan Xingwen.
All they saw was Ruan Xingwen, groggy with sleep, sitting up straight, rubbing his eyes, and stretching lazily.
The live-stream audience, who had come for the sound, also happened to catch this moment.
The screen, which had been filled with comments like [checking in.] [looking forward to it.] suddenly went quiet.
As if everyone was stunned.
Then, on every screen, the same sound of swallowing audible on the director’s end echoed coincidentally.
When everyone snapped back to reality, the comments started snowing, streaming rapidly down the screen.
[Woooo! Baby killed me!]
[Slurp~ My mom asked if her breakfast was so good that it made me drool. I replied, Mom, shouldn’t you have a bit of self-awareness?]
[As a result, my mom slapped me and told me to go back to my room.]
[My granny and grandma asked why I was kneeling and licking my phone screen...]
[My mom asked the same, then I showed her the live stream... Now, my mom’s fighting me for my phone, wanting to join the licking screen team!]
...
After composing himself for a while, Ruan Xingwen finally saw everything clearly in front of him.
Immediately buried himself into the quilt, wrapping up tightly.
Even though she liked Ruan Xingwen’s looks a lot too, the follow-up director girl regained her professional demeanor, helplessly reminding:
"Xingzai, you are wearing pajamas, and we are just doing normal filming..."
As soon as the director girl spoke, she revealed her "mom fan" identity.
[This follow-up director is also a member of the mom fan group, but she can see Xingzai in person, I’m jealous!]
[Jealousy + envy!]

[+10010]
...
"Alright Xingzai, originally I had a waking-up task, but since you’re awake, we’ll skip it."
Ruan Xingwen was a bit curious about how the show planned to wake him up.
"Sister, what task did you prepare?"
To his surprise, the director girl blushed, God Ze’s little wife gently covered her lips with her delicate hand, and coughed lightly,
"Ahem, since you’re already awake, there’s no need to do this task."
The more she acted like that, the more curious Ruan Xingwen became.
"Sister, just tell me～"
Wearing cute yellow pajamas and pouting to act cute was truly irresistible.
The director girl gave up resisting, resignedly taking out a...
Um...
Squeaky chicken...
Ruan Xingwen, looking at the squeaky chicken, awkwardly scratched his nose.
Alright, he thought it would be something else...
The director girl glanced at the time, interrupting Ruan Xingwen’s endless imagination,
"Xingzai, you better get up and get ready, and then we should set off."
