How to Tame a God and the Lucky Beasts-Chapter 189 - 190: (9)
The audience in the livestream was utterly dumbfounded.
They watched as their idol, after getting into the car, covered himself with a thin blanket, smiled, and said, "I’m going to sleep now." And he really did just fall asleep...
The head director’s furious roar came through the earpiece of the filming director lady:
"Wake him up! What’s so interesting about filming someone sleeping?"
"...Weren’t you the one who said they could do anything?"
The lady privately criticized Ruan Xingwen’s cunningness, no wonder before getting in the car, he specifically asked what he was supposed to do once inside.
Recalling the head director’s instructions, indeed, there were no specific requirements; the guests were free to do as they pleased.
Well well, Ruan Xingwen’s version of freedom turned into hundreds of thousands of people watching him sleep live...
Yet, for some unknown reason, tens of thousands of viewers actually watched him sleep the whole way without switching to watch other celebrities’ livestreams.
"Mmm..."
As they neared the destination, Ruan Xingwen, who had slept quietly the entire way, stretched lazily.
"Ah, nothing beats a good nap."
Having slept so well, Ruan Xingwen energetically greeted the audience in the livestream:
"Hi, you’ve been here the whole time? That’s really embarrassing~"
[Huh, man, the way you decided to sleep without a care, I didn’t see even a hint of embarrassment from you.]
[Huh, man!]
"Ah, I’ve been too tired lately, finally got a day to rest, forgive me~~~ I’ll show you guys a big surprise later!"
The audience in the livestream didn’t mind initially, otherwise, they wouldn’t have stayed the whole time.
Now they were all curious about the "big surprise" Ruan Xingwen mentioned.
But Ruan Xingwen was being mysterious, refusing to elaborate, instead pulling out his phone to watch the commotion in other people’s livestreams.
He first clicked into Xu Yang’s livestream.
Since shooting "Different Paths," the two had kept in touch.
Their relationship was quite subtle.
Actually, it wasn’t just them; Xu Yang had a subtle relationship with everyone.
Xu Yang, being dubbed Xu Duidui by fans, shows how good he is at retorting.
Ruan Xingwen quite liked Xu Yang’s personality, but sometimes, when Xu Yang straightforwardly poked at him, he’d feel a tiny bit hurt...
"Hey, look, isn’t Xu Yang also sleeping! You all say things about me... but everyone’s doing the same, right!"
[Huh, didn’t you start it, while Xu Yang was promoting his album dutifully, once he heard you were sleeping, he immediately joined in the napping session!]
Indeed, Xu Yang, with a serious face, was promoting his new album to the audience, until someone in the comments mentioned: Ruan Xingwen next door is sleeping.
Xu Yang, out of curiosity, peeked at Ruan Xingwen’s livestream.
And then...
All the other guests followed suit, one after another, started dozing off.
The head director was at a loss.
An assistant director, seeing this, leaned over to the director, asking for a course of action: "Director Liu, what should we do? Should we wake them up?"
The head director glared at him, reluctantly admitting there was nothing he could do, "Wake them? And risk having their fans accuse us of being inhumane? Let them sleep! Besides, once they reach the destination, they’ll be busy, a bit of rest will replenish their energy."
Meanwhile, Ruan Xingwen browsed through several livestreams and then checked Weibo; there wasn’t any particularly interesting news.
Just as he put away his phone, the filming director lady spoke up:
"Star, we’ve arrived."
Hearing this, Ruan Xingwen looked out the window.
Their first stop was a small village in the mountains.
The car slowly came to a halt, and Ruan Xingwen took his suitcase, following the lady’s lead, got off the car.
They were the first to arrive.
In front of Ruan Xingwen stood a two-story small building.
He pushed open the courtyard gate, and everywhere he looked was tidied up nice and clean.
Facing him was the two-story building, to the east was an annex, with the door open, revealing the interior furnishings.
From the arrangement, it seemed to be a kitchen.
To the west was a warehouse, filled with firewood and some farming tools, along with a small tractor.
The ground floor of the two-story building also served as storage, while the second floor was divided into four rooms and a central living room.
Since there was no place to rest on the ground floor, Ruan Xingwen headed straight to the second floor.
"Hello everyone~"
Upon reaching the second floor, Ruan Xingwen saw the head director’s film crew and the set-up filming equipment already waiting there.
He bashfully greeted everyone.
Only when speaking to fans, would Ruan Xingwen reveal his cheeky shrimp side.
"Star, have a seat first while we wait for everyone else."
Ruan Xingwen nodded, placed his suitcase out of the way, then sat down on the sofa.
He had just sat down when he heard noise coming from downstairs.
The second guest had arrived.
It was Xu Yang.
Ruan Xingwen turned his head and saw Xu Yang already ascending the stairs, his head poking up.
Standing up, he walked over, and the two hugged.
"Long time no see."
"Yeah, long time no see."
After the hug, Ruan Xingwen led Xu Yang to the sofa, and as they passed the luggage area, Xu Yang placed his suitcase next to Ruan Xingwen’s.
"Hello everyone."
Facing the direction of the film crew, Xu Yang greeted them, then turned back to continue chatting with Ruan Xingwen.
"What’ve you been up to lately? Haven’t heard from you in a while."
If he didn’t know Xu Yang’s personality, Ruan Xingwen might’ve thought Xu Yang was complaining.
But in fact, Xu Yang was genuinely curious about what Ruan Xingwen had been busy with lately.
"Hehehe, I’ve been working on a new drama, can’t give details yet, but news will be out in a few days."
"Alright, remember not to flake on the MV you promised me."
"Sure, just send the time to Sister He later."
Hearing this, Xu Yang nodded in satisfaction, and the conversation between the two ended there.
Although they stopped talking, the atmosphere didn’t feel awkward.
In a few minutes, the third guest also arrived.
As fate would have it, the third one to arrive was the female lead from "Different Paths," Su Xiaoya.
Both Ruan Xingwen and Xu Yang stood up to welcome her, with one grabbing her suitcase and the other leading her to the sofa.
"Sister Xiaoya, long time no see~"
Satisfied with their attentive service, Su Xiaoya said with a smile, "Long time no see, Star, long time no see, Xu Yang."
She gave each of them a big hug.
Ruan Xingwen noticed the different ways Su Xiaoya addressed them and mused to himself:
Not sure when Xu Yang, the oblivious blockhead, will be won over by Sister Xiaoya.
Su Xiaoya felt rather helpless too.
During the filming of "Different Paths," no matter if she hinted subtly or outright, Xu Yang never seemed to get it, leaving her unsure if he truly understood.
As soon as she heard Xu Yang would be joining this program, she agreed to the contract from the producers immediately.
If this romance show couldn’t open Xu Yang’s dense heart, Su Xiaoya didn’t know what else she could do...
