Chapter 236: Chapter 236: The Tyrant CEO’s Script
Cary, who was frustratedly going through the script, heard the WeChat notification sound and grabbed his phone impatiently, “Who has no sense to disturb me while I’m reading my script… Ye’s followers?”
He had accepted his friend request?
Haha, he’s still alive huh? How many days has it been since he added me, and he’s just accepted now? Was he trying to play it cool in front of this budding actor?
As soon as the friend request was approved, Cary sent an emoticon: [Throwing poop at you.gif]
[Cary]: Yo, thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to approve my friend request, it’s truly an honor!
[Ye Xian]: Red envelope
[Cary]: Scram, do you think I’m someone who can be placated with a red envelope? (clicks open)
[Ye Xian]: Red envelope
[Ye Xian]: Red envelope×10
Cary quickly opened one red envelope after another, and his mood, which had been soured by the script reading all day, finally improved a bit.
Seeing that Cary had stopped talking, Ye Xian launched a video call immediately.
While Cary was delightfully opening the red envelopes, he hadn’t even had time to frown when he saw Ye Xian, “You little rascal, not only is your career getting better, but your character seems to have improved quite a bit—getting quite sensible~”
“That’s right, that’s right.”
Ye Xian, needing a favor, squinted his eyes in a warm smile, his attitude as good as could be, “Brother Xiao C, what have you been busy with lately?”
Damn? Did he just call me Brother Xiao C?
Cary was shocked and deeply moved for a moment.
Back when Ye Xian joined FOR, because he was quite handsome, he and Lin Yan didn’t dislike him much. Who knew he’d be almost paranoid, constantly wary of him and Lin Yan, sometimes accusing them of stealing the spotlight on stage, sometimes saying they subtly insulted the captain during interviews, and even claimed they deliberately got too close to the captain during private outings…
Damn! How disgusting is that, thinking everyone’s gay like him?
Since then, he and Lin Yan had never shown him a warm face, but after they had completely fallen out, he became even more outrageous, publicly calling him, ‘Alphabet Show-off Boy’. In retaliation, Cary had come up with ‘Ye’s followers’, which somehow always seemed to put him at a disadvantage no matter how he thought about it.
But now, he’s changed his tune to calling him brother? And so affectionately as Brother Xiao C?
It seems Ye Xian has truly changed; Cary had thought he was just pretending before.
Well, since he’s shown weakness and tried to ingratiate himself first, Cary might as well forgive him reluctantly.
“Lately, I’ve been reading scripts, and it’s driving me crazy!”
“What’s wrong? The content not to your liking?”
Ye Xian purposely steered the conversation towards the script, and Cary fell right into the trap.
“It’s not that it’s not to my liking, it’s… hard to explain. I’ve only just realized acting is really difficult. I shouldn’t have mocked your performance in ‘Everyone Has Superpower’ before; actually, I think now that you weren’t too bad.”
Ye Xian: “…” How bad must one’s acting be for him to think her show was okay?
“What specifically is the problem then?”
“No need to be specific, it’s everything! Take, for example, the lines of this character I’m playing…” Cary picked up the script and began to read the lines to her, “Listen to this, it’s absolutely nauseating.”
“Woman, I’ve never tasted rejection before, and you’ve certainly caught my attention now!”
“You little fairy, are you playing with fire? Remember, you started this fire, you put it out.”
“Woman, your scent is divinely sweet~”
He had only read a few lines when Ye Xian’s arms broke out in goosebumps involuntarily, oh my, what dreadful cliché lines from an ancient domineering CEO romance.
