Out of Breath

Wang Yichen's face was ugly, and he didn't dare to talk to Yan Dongxu at all.

He had completely lost the arrogance from before.

The assistant saw the situation was not right, and told him to quickly throw away the cigarette.

Then he took the broom and cleaned up the cigarette butts on the ground.

Yan Dongxu was too good at this, going live directly, and wildly implying things to the audience. The assistant felt very worried.

Because he knew how terrifying Yan Dongxu's influence was now.

The assistant picked up his phone and muted it, then secretly entered Yan Dongxu's live stream room to take a look.

Seeing the barrage from the audience, he felt dizzy and almost fainted.

He didn't even dare to show the phone to Wang Yichen.

He was really afraid that Wang Yichen would go berserk after seeing it, and get into a fight with Yan Dongxu in the makeup room.

That would truly be the end of his career.

Wang Yichen was able to get to where he was now because he was no fool.

He knew how to maintain his image in front of the public.

He could switch faces faster than someone doing face changing opera, making people nauseous from watching.

"Xiao Liu, did you send the footage of me practicing smoking to Director Wang?"

"Talk to him and see if he can change my role for me? I've practiced with so many cigarettes and he's still not satisfied. What kind of smoking scene does he want exactly?"

The assistant was stunned for a moment, then immediately followed up: "Director Wang said you can't convey that feeling of melancholic grief. I've sent over several videos already and he's not very satisfied. He said they're discussing it over there."

Yan Dongxu was amused listening to this side, thinking this guy really has good improv skills, able to act this well on the spot.

"Viewers, why do you think big stars can get popular? He's really working hard!"

"For the role, he's practiced smoking half a pack already. He acts just like a smoker of 10 plus years."

"You didn't see it, he acted just like a veteran who's smoked for over a decade."

"That technique of inhaling and blowing smoke rings is amazing."

"I've smoked for 7-8 years and can't do that technique."

Yan Dongxu madly tried to undermine him, thinking this punk still wants to pretend to be a bigshot wolf in front of his audience, I'll pluck all the hair off your wolf tail.

【Hahaha, the young man is still too young!】

【He's just acting, hilarious!】

【Does that guy think we're fools?】

【Spread the word that Wang Yichen is braindead.】

【Everyone go report Wang Yichen on other platforms.】

【He doesn't even care about his reputation anymore.】

......

Suddenly, Yan Dongxu received a phone call from Xu Yiyi on his other phone.

His eyes lit up, thinking why did Xu Yiyi suddenly remember to call him now?

Did her anger dissipate?

"Hello, Yiyi? What's up?"

"Put me on speaker."

"Okay."

Yan Dongxu agreed and turned on the speakerphone.

"I can't call you if I have nothing to do? I miss you okay?" Xu Yiyi's coquettish voice rang out from the phone.

Yan Dongxu took a deep breath, immediately understanding what was going on.

"Missing me after just a few nights apart? I miss you too."

Yan Dongxu said, and the atmosphere in the entire room instantly went wrong.

Zhao Qingqing really couldn't stand to keep listening, and said to Xu Lu: "I want to go to the bathroom, come with me okay?"

Xu Lu shot her a grateful look, really unable to bear Yan Dongxu and Xu Yiyi's mushiness.

Although they both knew there was an 80% chance Xu Yiyi saw the livestream, found out about Yan Dongxu's current situation, and deliberately called just for this.

But this was still too mushy! They couldn't withstand it.

"Hmph, I won't tell you that I think of you every night." Xu Yiyi said coquettishly.

This one line almost made Wang Yichen, who was eavesdropping, spit blood from anger.

In an instant he felt his heart shatter, gushing blood as it collapsed.

"Alright alright, I have to go now, I'm still busy here."

Yan Dongxu took the initiative to hang up, making Wang Yichen even angrier.

When he had called Xu Yiyi, she never even picked up.

Yan Dongxu willingly picked up Xu Yiyi's call, but didn't want to chat longer and impatiently tried to hang up.

Comparing people really makes one angry, especially seeing the girl he loved being ambiguous with another man, Wang Yichen's mentality collapsed.

"Hello, Yiyi? It's Yichen. What a coincidence, I'm working together with Yan Dongxu. Let's go out for a meal when you're free?" Wang Yichen stood up and walked over, gently extending the invitation.

Then he quietly waited for Xu Yiyi's response.

"Uh... I hung up several seconds ago already."

Yan Dongxu looked at Wang Yichen as if he were an idiot, thinking this guy really has no shame.

The smile Wang Yichen had squeezed out instantly froze, his expression uglier than if he had eaten shit.

【Hahahaha, this guy isn't really braindead is he?】

【Can't stand it, laughing till my stomach hurts.】

【This is so awkward it opened the door for more awkwardness, most awkward thing ever.】

【Some people have no shame.】

【Dude, stop singing, you should go be a comedian instead.】

【How can you reach this level of awkwardness that the heavens and earth are collapsing?】

......

The assistant couldn't bear to watch any further, and immediately said: "The photographers are ready, they texted just now for us to head over."

The assistant thought that Wang Yichen and Yan Dongxu weren't even playing at the same level. Staying here longer would just become increasingly miserable for Wang Yichen.

The few top trending searches about Wang Yichen had continued climbing.

【Top star Wang Yichen smoking in makeup room】

【Wang Yichen bullies popular livestreamer in makeup room】

【Wang Yichen's image collapses】

......

Seeing the trending search terms made the assistant's scalp tingle. If nothing unexpected happens, he can kiss his job goodbye.

Not protecting his own artist, and immediately such a big incident occurring, there's no chance of keeping his job.

Just a few minutes after they left the makeup room, the assistant received a call from the company.

As expected, he suffered a torrent of curses.

"F*ck, I'm his assistant, not his grandson! I quit!"

"You better immediately apologize to me! Otherwise wait for me to expose Wang Yichen's black history!"

"And you, just got popular with a few songs and you don't even know who you are anymore, brainless trash."

The assistant got scolded until his eyes turned red, and he unleashed a tirade of curses at the phone and Wang Yichen before angrily leaving the premises.

Wang Yichen was left in the hallway completely confused, wondering what had happened.

He had thought to finish the shoot before leaving, but after receiving the company's phone call and seeing the trending searches, he was stunned.

"Yan Dongxu!!!" Wang Yichen was so angry his eyes turned red, wanting to find Yan Dongxu to settle accounts.

He had just rushed into the makeup room.

Yan Dongxu smiled and greeted him, "Yo, viewer friends, the big star is back."

The raging anger in Wang Yichen's heart stalled for a moment, as rationality took the upper hand for now.

He desperately told himself not to act rashly, or he would truly be finished.

"Ah...I seemed to have left my phone here, I'm back to look for it."

Wang Yichen pretended to look around for a bit, scratched his head and said, "My assistant probably took it away. I'm leaving now."

【Clown! Clown!】

【He's not bad, held himself back!】

【Eh, how come he didn't make a move?】

【Right, I wanted to see Uncle De take care of him too!】

【Hahaha, you sure you want Uncle De to make a move? It'd be murder!】

You Were Supposed to Romance the Goddess, How Did You Become a Succubus Instead!

ave】 Shen Qingling was a man with peerless looks, a cunning mind, and the ability to play both the aloof noble and the innocent sweetheart—a master of seduction who could outplay any player. But after an untimely death, he found himself bound to a system and transmigrated into the tragic "true young master" of a melodramatic novel. In the original story, his childhood sweetheart treated him as a backup plan, his fiancée swore to break off their engagement for the sake of the "fake young master," and his own sister saw him as the family's disgrace. He was nothing more than a rat everyone wanted to stomp on. System 077: "Your mission is to change the original fate and conquer the goddesses." Shen Qingling: "Thanks for the invite. If seduction had tiers, I’d be max level." His childhood sweetheart knelt, begging for forgiveness: "Qingling, I was wrong. Please give me another chance." His ex-fiancée refused to marry anyone else: "Shen Qingling, I was blind before. In this life, I’ll marry no one but you." A yandere CEO went mad for love: "Shen Qingling, you can only like me. I’ll stop at nothing to make you mine!" His green-tea sister clung to him daily: "Brother, look at me, won’t you? I’m more obedient than them—I love you the most~" At first, they scorned and trampled on him. Later, they burned themselves like moths to a flame, all for his sake. His looks were his weapon, his sweet words the bait—heroines obsessed over him, villains turned to madness for him. Shen Qingling became a true male siren, igniting battlefield after battlefield of women fighting for his affection. Years later, when System 077—now one of the elites—was asked how to become as outstanding as it, it lazily exhaled a smoke ring and replied: "Just know how to cheer ‘666’ at the right time."
