Chapter 2: Big Sweetie Brings Two Great Opportunities!
The sound of knocking echoed, followed by the ringing of a phone, a call from Big Sweetie.
At the same time, Big Sweetie’s voice came through.
“Shen Lang, open the door! I’m right outside!”
“I know you’re home, hurry up and open the door~!”
Shen Lang had been waiting all day for Big Sweetie’s visit.
There was no way he would refuse a Big Sweetie who came knocking on his door.
After answering the call, Shen Lang walked over and opened the door.
The moment the door swung open, he spoke, “Sweetie Sis, I’ve opened the door…”
In the next second, Big Sweetie launched herself into his arms. Luckily, Shen Lang reacted quickly and caught her.
Wrapping her arms around his neck, she nuzzled her head against him and complained, “You have no idea how exhausting the Spring Festival Gala rehearsals are!”
“After a whole day of it, I feel completely drained…”
“Shen Lang, you’re giving me a massage later to help me relax~”
“No objections allowed!”
By the end, Big Sweetie spoke with a stern tone.
Shen Lang had never planned to refuse, he’d been waiting for her to show up.
Using his foot to close the door, he carried her inside.
Big Sweetie looked surprised. “Shen Lang, have you finally come around?”
“Mhm.” Shen Lang nodded.
She planted a kiss on his cheek and smiled. “Honestly, you should’ve agreed sooner. That way, I could’ve gotten you even more resources. But… it’s not too late now!”
“Hold on, I’ve prepared two opportunities for you!”
“They’re TV dramas, but the scripts are pretty good, both are male-led series…”
With that, she hopped out of his arms, pulled two scripts from her bag, and tugged Shen Lang onto the sofa. Then, she began chattering excitedly about the two projects.
She had gone to great lengths to secure these roles for him.
The other was The Untamed.
Big Sweetie had landed Shen Lang one of the male leads in The Untamed, the role of Wei Wuxian, replacing Xiao Zhan from the original cast.
For Joy of Life, she had also secured him a special appearance as Yan Bingyun.
Had he stolen Xiao Zhan’s luck?
When Shen Lang checked the other male lead in The Untamed, the actor playing Lan Wangji wasn’t Wang Yibo from the original drama, it was Xiao Zhan.
So, had he taken Wang Yibo’s luck instead?
No matter whose luck he had taken, one thing was certain:
Once Shen Lang starred in The Untamed, he would skyrocket to the top of the industry.
The resources Big Sweetie brought were nothing short of incredible.
As for Joy of Life, Shen Lang wanted the role of Fan Xian, but he wasn’t quite at that level yet.
Age-wise, he fit, but the male lead, Zhang Ruoyun, was also a well-connected actor, the go-to leading man for New Classics Media.
Still, landing Wei Wuxian in The Untamed was more than enough.
If he remembered correctly, The Untamed would air during the summer season next year (2019).
Before that, Shen Lang’s first lead film, The Wandering Earth, would premiere during the 2019 Spring Festival season.
Next year was destined to be Shen Lang’s breakout year!
“So, what do you think?”
Without waiting for his answer, Big Sweetie continued, “Don’t underestimate The Untamed just because it’s a danmei adaptation. It’s a perfect underdog opportunity!”
“Two years ago, Addicted, another danmei adaptation, blew up its two male leads…”
“Oh, and I heard Guardian, another danmei drama filmed last year, is set to air this summer…”
“The Untamed will start filming this year and air next summer!”
“I can’t guarantee it’ll be a massive hit, but a moderate success is practically guaranteed…”
She paused, staring at Shen Lang’s handsome face, then kissed him again before continuing:
“Once I finish my current projects, I’ll pick a solid script!”
“I’ll play the female lead, and you’ll be the male lead!”
“The Untamed is a danmei drama, so the female lead won’t get much attention. This time, I’ll pass, but next time… we have to work together!”
“And Joy of Life is also male-dominated, the female lead doesn’t have much screen time…”
“Besides, since you’re not the male lead, there’s no point in me joining. What do you think, little brother?”
After speaking, Big Sweetie licked her red lips, her eyes glinting with mischief.
Listening to her, Shen Lang felt a little dazed.
Was Big Sweetie always this sharp?
She actually knew that female leads in danmei adaptations didn’t get much love.
And she was aware that male leads in such dramas had explosive potential.
“Alright, stop staring at the scripts, they’re yours now…”
“Help me massage my legs, they’re so sore~”
As she spoke, she draped her legs over Shen Lang’s lap.
Her slender legs, clad in white tights, looked perfectly proportioned, stunning, really.
Shen Lang wasn’t a leg man, but even he had to admit Big Sweetie’s legs were flawless, exceptionally pleasing to the eye.
“Wait, let me take off my jacket first. The heating’s too strong~”
After stopping him, she stood up and removed her outerwear, revealing her curvaceous figure right before Shen Lang’s eyes.
Not stopping there, she also took off her tights, exposing her smooth, fair legs, easily 1.2 meters long by estimation.
“Alright, now hurry up and massage them. My legs are killing me~”
Lying back down, she placed her bare legs back on Shen Lang’s lap.
When Shen Lang still didn’t move, Big Sweetie lightly tapped his chest with her foot.
At that moment, even if Shen Lang wasn’t a foot guy, he became one.
So, he placed his hands on her calves and began kneading gently.
“Harder… ah, that’s good… a little more…”
This dialogue sounds way too suggestive.
But this was, without a doubt, a completely innocent massage.
After her calves, he moved up to her thighs, following her directions, Big Sweetie commanded, and Shen Lang obeyed.
The two worked in perfect sync, even if the massage itself remained strictly professional.
Big Sweetie grabbed Shen Lang’s hand, her beautiful eyes blinking at him as she whispered, “After we eat, let’s get some exercise… You know what they say, ‘Exercise after a meal keeps you alive for ninety-nine years!’”
Shen Lang was stunned.
Who on earth taught her to interpret proverbs ?!
