Chapter 7- Status: Want to Empathize

 

Sang Xian’s new announcement to Ran Shu’s organization is for him to assist a guest on a show.

 

Logically speaking, this job should be straightforward.

 

Ran Shu only needs to arrive at the shooting location, rehearse with another contestant for a few days, shoot some tidbits during the training period, and then go directly to the stage to perform.

 

As for whether he can help this guest get a good ranking in the future or whether this guest can advance smoothly, he doesn’t have to care.

 

Of course, it would be nice to be able to provide some help to this guest so that Ran Shu will be in a good mood for two days. But that’s all there is to it: he just has to appear.

 

It happened that such a simple assistant performance made Ran Shu the headline on the day of the live broadcast.

Ran Shu said it reluctantly.

But he even wanted Sang Xian to remove the headline.

 

He really didn’t want to ask Sang Xian, so he forcibly held back.

But because of this – he collapsed! 

 

　　*

 

Ran Shu sat cross-legged on the floor of the training room, watching Liang Junfan dance with a dull expression. He couldn’t help but rub his face helplessly.

 

“Before I came, I thought that you might not be good at dancing…” Ran Shu covered his face with his hands, and his voice came out from between his fingers, muffled.

 

Liang Junfan walked up to Ran Shu and asked very seriously: “Is it particularly bad?”

 

“I can see that you are trying hard to dance well, but your dancing posture is as if someone threw a cigarette butt into your neck.”

 

Liang Junfan was not angry after hearing this description but laughed out loud like thunder.

 

Liang Junfan was originally a singer and participated in a singer competition program.

 

Unfortunately, he had the lowest number of votes in the previous voting, so he had to choose the track at the end. He doesn’t know if the other guests did it on purpose, but only one song and dance were left for him.

 

A vocal, forcibly became a dancer.

 

“If I hadn’t really reached a desperate situation, I wouldn’t be able to invite you here.” Liang Junfan replied very sincerely, his tone full of helplessness.

 

Although the company arranged the job, if Liang Junfan didn’t want to invite Ran Shu, the job wouldn’t fall to Ran Shu.

 

Even if Ran Shu’s popularity has declined in the past two years, his dancing skills as an idol are still unquestionable.

 

Ran Shu’s strength was so strong that Liang Junfan felt that as long as Ran Shu came, they would be able to turn the tide.

 

Ran Shu finally stood up and came all the time, and he couldn’t live up to people’s expectations.

 

He stepped aside to watch a dance demonstration.

 

He has always been very good at pick-up dancing. Generally, he can remember the outline after watching it the first time, and he can jump out after the second time.

 

After Ran Shu danced along with the video, he turned off the video, turned on the music, and presented the dance in its entirety to the mirror in the training room without missing a beat or forgetting a single move.

 

After all, he has practiced dancing since he was a child, and he has a good foundation. He has not slackened his practice in these years, and he is always ready to go. It is very easy for him to keep up with the rhythm.

 

He has excellent strength and balance when he dances, and his slender figure does not lose his sense of strength. His dance moves are presented graciously, and there will be a feeling of releasing emotions towards his audience.

 

“Hey!” Liang Junfan applauded after reading it, “As expected of a professional, it’s too good. I didn’t ask the wrong person.” Walking over to Liang Junfan, he began to teach Liang Junfan some dance moves little by little.

 

Liang Junfan has an excellent personality and tries his best to cooperate.

 

For three consecutive days, they would rehearse until the wee hours of the morning.

 

　　*

 

On the day of the competition, the program team prepared very loose clothes for Ran Shu.

 

In the dance, his movements are open and direct. There are even somersaults present. After changing into his costume, he tried some moves in a place where there was no camera. He immediately rolled his eyes and pointed to his chest: “Fix this. Else, after this dance, there will be uncle ribs everywhere in my chat.” 

 

The assistant quickly understood and said to him: “I understand!”

 

Ran Shu has a slender figure, and many clothes borrowed from brand dealers would make him fat, so Ran Shu’s assistant carried a sewing kit in his bag all year round. 

 

Needlework and buttons, alike.

 

After he took off his clothes and trousers, the assistant began to sew them up with ease.

 

The assistant’s technique is very good. Even if the fixed buttons are removed later, there will be no traces on the clothes.

 

He put on his own clothes and sat aside. Ran Shu took out his mobile phone to scan the voting platform for a while and took a rough look at the votes.

 

Liang Junfan is a capable male singer, but his looks are not outstanding. In the entertainment circle, this kind of look is too passerby, and there is no one who’d actually bother to remember him.

 

In addition, he used to sing the theme song of TV dramas, so the singer is not popular.

 

Everyone is familiar with his songs, but he has not participated in any variety shows before, so not many audiences are familiar with him. The combination of these factors sends him to the bottom of the polls despite his strength.

 

This round is another challenge since dancing is not his strength. This proves the situation to be extremely difficult.

 

At this time, the assistant gave the clothes back to Ran Shu again, and a small button was sewn on the inside of the clothes and both sides of the trousers.

 

After he put on the clothes, the assistant squatted down and hung a rubber band between the clothes and trousers. He then fixed the rubber band with a needle and thread.

 

Ran Shu tried it again, and the clothes would not lift up again. He was more than satisfied.

 

Before taking the stage, Ran Shu stood beside Liang Junfan and patted him on the back: “Don’t be nervous.”

 

“I hope this stage will not become your black history.”

 

“No, my black history is always when I flipped and threw my shoe out.”

 

“Hahahaha!” Liang Junfan couldn’t stop laughing. Fortunately, his microphone was turned off. Otherwise, the audience would definitely hear a galloping horse.

 

Following the guidance of the host, the two came to the stage and completed the performance.

 

Although Liang Junfan has shortcomings, he is remarkable and has achieved the ultimate that he can do.

 

Ran Shu’s stage performance has always been perfect, without any flaws, and on the stage, he is the brightest star.

 

After finishing the live broadcast, Ran Shu was elated while muttering about completing another job. He said goodbye to the others and left the shooting site.

 

However, as soon as he returned to the hotel and took a shower, he picked up his phone and fell into a daze.

 

He looked at the message from Brother Liu: Don’t read Weibo.

Brother Liu: Don’t use your other account to post on Weibo.

Brother Liu: Forget it. Just don’t scold fans.

 

He quickly logged into Weibo and also logged into his own account. He looked at the feed to see what was going on. He didn’t have the stage of being praised as he imagined but only saw the small rubber bands all over the screen.

　　

He couldn’t even see his handsome face in the partial screenshots of those small rubber bands.

 

Why?

What’s the meaning?

He looked at these and fell into confusion.

 

[Ran Shu, a man who says he doesn’t abide by male virtues but wants to put on chastity chains. ]

 

“Fart!” Ran Shu looked at this article and cursed, “I fell in love not long after I became an adult, and I was rummaged five times a night during the relationship.”

 

After a while of silence, he muttered to himself: “It seems nothing worth showing off. After all, every time I cry and howl…”

 

He clicked on a short video, which started with an interview with him, in which he smiled slyly: “What kind of male virtues do I have? I don’t observe male virtues. Your uncle just flies because he can. I don’t have unrealistic fantasies.”

 

Later there is a video of him dancing, but the dubbing is: “When people who don’t abide by male virtues fly, they have small rubber bands around their waists.”

 

Ran Shu continued to scroll down and saw that there was really that kind of person who had nothing to do. He picked out some clips from his early stages, as well as some clips from film and television dramas.

 

The small rubber band is often worn so that the abdominal muscles will not be exposed. The kiss scene is misplaced, and he has not had a serious gossip girlfriend in the circle for many years.

 

Ran Shu threw his phone on the coffee table. He sat on the sofa and raised his legs, shaking his feet unhappily.

 

He was like this in the early days because his boyfriend was jealous. He was the one who suffered every time he was jealous. It was only mild for his boyfriend to please himself through him several times.

 

Gradually, he also formed a habit.

 

It made him ponder.

Why has he broken up with him for two years and never thought about finding someone else?

Why is he still so conservative, afraid that his ex-boyfriend will be jealous?

He should get up! There are so many men and women in the world; he can’t hang himself on a tree!

 

At first, Ran Shu didn’t care about the little rubber band incident, so he let the nieces make trouble.

He was just thinking about life.

As a result, he received a call from his friend.

20 minutes later, and the first thing he said after connecting was: “Little Pacesetter of Male Virtue.”

 

There was a female voice with a cold voice on the other side of the phone. With a taste of mockery that is trying to hide.

 

“Aunt Su!” Ran Shu roared, “Are you laughing at me too?”

 

Aunt Su is not an aunt, but because her name is Su Anyi, and if you speak her name quickly, you will make a word to call her Aunt Su. As time goes by, her friends end up calling her that.

 

Su Anyi sighed: “I can’t help it. I opened Weibo and saw that the hot search headline is this.”

 

“Is it a hot search now? Did it return to the headline?! Is this also a hot search? How free are they?”

 

“That’s right… We wanted to buy it originally. For the entry, a new issue of the magazine is going to be published. So I’ll have a look and decide to buy it tomorrow.”

 

Su Anyi is now the editor-in-chief of an international magazine, and she is a strong woman who takes the lead by herself.

 

In eight years since his debut, he has been on the cover of her magazines three times. It is a lie to say that there is no secret help from Su Anyi.

 

“You called me just to say this?” Ran Shu stood up and walked to the French window overlooking the night view of the city.

 

“Did you reconcile already?” She’s one of his friends who blocked Ran Shu a few days ago, and she really didn’t know the details.

“Not yet.”

“Not…not yet?” Su Anyi quickly discovered the important key words, ‘That is, they will reconcile, but they haven’t yet.’

“…”

“Then you guys develop well, and I won’t bother you.”

“No…” But the phone was hung up before Ran Shu could even explain himself..

 

He didn’t call back to explain.

After all, to explain is to cover up.

 

　　*

 

Sang Xian was sitting in his office with his mobile phone on the desk. His fingers tap the desktop rhythmically, looking at the screen of the mobile phone from time to time, and there is no friend application.

 

Shen Junjing saw his expectation and while sorting out the documents, said: “If you want to find him, ask Brother Liu to send him a message to remind him?”

 

“No expectation.” Sang Xian replied.

“Then..” Shen Junjing took the folder over and put it in front of Sang Xian, “If you have nothing to do, let’s deal with these things.”

 

Sang Xian did not refuse. He took the folder to check, but heard Shen Junjing’s chuckle .

 

He raised his eyes to look at Shen Junjing, and heard him ask: “I thought that if you stopped giving Ran Shu resources secretly, he would be depressed for a while, and then had to come to you for help. But he didn’t, so he just rested for more than a year. Not long after returning to work, he became popular for a while after scolding someone. In the last game, a live broadcast directly made the headlines, and it seems… he doesn’t really need your help.”

 

Sang Xian: “…”

Sang Xian secretly wanted to be able to help Ran Shu. And as not to be discovered, he took advantage of a lot of family businesses.

Fortunately, there are many branches of the Sang family’s property, and they can always invest successfully and then arrange resources for Ran Shu.

 

After breaking up with Ran Shu, he did not continue to arrange these resources, and Ran Shu did remain silent for a while.

 

Who would have thought that it would be easy for Ran Shu to make a comeback as if his birth date can be summed up in two words: Become Popular.

 

When Sang Xian was silent, Shen Junjing looked at his phone and laughed out loud: “Ran Shu said he wants to overthrow the illusion of the fanbase collapsing this time. He’s going to a nightclub and find a sister-in-law for his fans. His fans call him uncle, shouldn’t his girlfriend be an aunt?”

 

Shen Junjing quickly added: “Oh, it’s a boyfriend, and he claims it to be sister-in-law? Ran Shu’s taste has changed recently. And he pointed out that he wanted to find someone younger. Brother, you can’t be over 22 years old.”

 

Sang Xian got up immediately. He dropped the folder and snatched Shen Junjing’s cell phone. Upon seeing the message Ran Shu sent, he was so angry that his teeth ached.

 

The author has something to say:

[Leave a message and get 100 random red envelopes.]

 

Sang Xian and Ran Shu are the same age, but according to their birthdays, Sang Xian is 10 months older than Ran Shu. 

 

Sang Xian presents Capricorn, while Ran Shu is a Scorpio.

 

When it comes to male virtue, Sang Xian is the little pacesetter! Only his Ran Shu baby is the cutest in the world.
