IRASS- CH63

Arc 3 – Slag that Entertainment Tycoon
Chapter 63

Those words floated through the gentle and cool air. Chi Zhao hadn’t reacted yet, and instead it was Qi Yuyang himself who felt moved. He subconsciously lowered his head slightly, carefully savouring his current feelings.

Warm, gentle and full.

This was a feeling that would appear when a man has someone they want to pursue, protect and possess. The Qi Yuyang from half a year ago would have never even dreamed of living like an ordinary person but now, not only has he lived such a life, he has also found someone who could move his heart.

It just so happened that this person was also his cure and the guide in his dream.

Qi Yuyang chuckled for a long time before looking up again at Xue Qing who should’ve already responded to his words. But, when he looked up, he saw that Xue Qing’s expression was a bit strange.

Chi Zhao: “Emmmmmmmm……”

System: “……….”

【Don’t steal my lines, thank you very much.】

Chi Zhao looked at Qi Yuyang strangely again and then absentmindedly stood up and walked towards his room. Qi Yuyang watched his leaving figure, perplexed, and his expression started to reveal some nervousness.

Did he realise that I like him?

Does he……..hate me?

 That was why they say that it’s not good to overthink. Chi Zhao’s actions didn’t actually mean anything. He only wanted to return to his room to talk to the system. He was just anxious and had forgotten that he still hadn’t responded to Qi Yuyang.

………

The pool wasn’t close to the bedroom. Chi Zhao returned to his room after walking for five minutes and he was in thought the entire time. When he closed the door, he reached a conclusion, “This is just his way of trying to make me stay, right?”

Chi Zhao had been here for about two or three months. According to the plot, Qi Yuyang’s mentality should have developed to the point where he must keep Xue Qing by his side as a human tranquilliser.

With this, it could explain his abnormal behaviour today; asking him to have heart to heart talk with him was so that he could capture him from the psychological aspect and make him willingly stay. The somewhat subtle line at the end were probably just flowery words used to convince him.

After analysing it for a long time, the system still hadn’t spoken a word. Chi Zhao was puzzled. He called out, “System, are you still there?”

【Yeah.】

“Why haven’t you said anything?” Chi Zhao then asked, “What are you doing? Did you hear what I said just now?”

【I’m downloading the latest version of the must sing karaoke song list. Do you want to have a go singing?】

Chi Zhao: “…..Is now the right time to sing?!”

The system was silent for a few seconds. After that, it’s voice sounded again but this time it sounded a little wronged.

【Then what time is it now? Don’t you just want me to tell you that the protagonist doesn’t like you? But think about it, whether the protagonist likes you or not is not something we can control. Our first two experiences have told us that the protagonist is crazy and, no matter what you do, he will still become infatuated with you.】

…….That’s true.

“Then what to do? Just do nothing?”

【It’s very simple, just preserve yourself and don’t fall for him. Let him do his own thing and when the time comes, it would be impossible for him not to hate you.】

Chi Zhao nodded with understanding. After nodding for a while, he found it strange, “Why are you so calm today? Whenever we’re on this topic, you would usually become agitated and be ready to fight. What’s wrong with you today?”

The system let out a long sigh and after that it didn’t speak. After about half a minute, a mellow tune sounded in Chi Zhao’s mind.

【I am like the mourning goose in the sky, I am like a dragon swimming on a shallow beach, I am like a fish swallowing a hook line, I am like a boat that loses its rudder in the waves. Alas, thinking about it, my heart feels broken. How I wish tonight could turn into tomorrow~】

Chi Zhao: “……..”

The system seems to have received too much stimulation and had now begun to sing Peking Opera.

Hearing Chi Zhao’s horrified internal voice, the system sighed again. It wasn’t stimulated, it just saw the miserable future of this world that seems to be on the verge of collapsing.

………

The opera song was still playing. The system sorted out its own library and after everything was arranged, it picked out the next song to sing: Heart Sutra.

……..

Recently, the system had become obsessed with singing and from time to time there would be the sound of Peking Opera and drums. It was estimated that in a few months, it would be able to do stand-up comedy. Chi Zhao didn’t know what to say for a while but when he couldn’t bear with it anymore, he requested that the system cut off the connection between them. He really didn’t want to hear old-fashioned songs play in his mind day in and day out.

Days gradually passed by. Even if Qi Yuyang didn’t want Chi Zhao to leave, he couldn’t keep Chi Zhao at home for the rest of his life. Very soon, it was time for the filming of ‘Dream Whisperer’ to start. Chi Zhao was quite confident in his acting skills. After all, he was someone the scum shou system had bound itself to and he had already lived for more than two hundred years. This was just acting out a scene, it’s what he usually does so it’s shouldn’t be a problem.

After standing in front of the camera for a while, Chi Zhao realised that his face really hurts.

Xue Qing’s acting skills were average, and Chi Zhao’s were even more average compared to Xue Qing. What did average mean? It was barely passable. Anyone who saw it would just show a hopeless expression and think ‘Forget it, forget it. Just make do with that’.

The next scene had nothing to do with him, so Chi Zhao hurried away and squatted down in the corner to think about the meaning of life.

No wonder he failed the first two worlds……..

 Chi Zhao was shocked. Turns out, he actually has no acting abilities?!

Chi Zhao was shocked, but the system was even more shocked than him. How could this be something you only find out about now?!

The system really regretted it. It had thought that it had picked up a treasure only to find out later that it had picked up a grenade. The most annoying thing was that Chi Zhao acted very seriously every time and his level of professionalism was no less than the other hosts, but he just couldn’t succeed. Even the system didn’t know what to say.

One human and one system squatted in the corner, depressed. Qi Yuyang had gone to attend a meeting at work and had not yet returned or he would’ve immediately come over to comfort Chi Zhao.

Today was the second day of filming. The screenwriter visited the filming site and along the way greeted the actors.

The screenwriter was a well-known writer with tens of millions of fans. He specialised in suspense and mystery novels and ‘Dream Whisperer’ was one of his early works. When he arrived in the morning, the screenwriter had already greeted Chi Zhao. The two of them had no relations with each other so naturally they didn’t have much to talk about. They only shook hands and exchanged greetings. When the screenwriter could no longer stand Chi Zhao’s cold attitude, he ran over to greet the female protagonist.

It was about two o’clock in the afternoon. The weather was very hot. At this moment, the screenwriter was ready to go home. There was a man standing beside him. The other party’s eyes wandered aimlessly around the crew before finally locking onto Chi Zhao who squatted in the corner, giving off a depressed mood.

That man tilted his head slightly and then approached Chi Zhao.

With a dark shadow suddenly looming over him, Chi Zhao raised his head and looked blankly at this visitor.

The man didn’t mind his coldness and indifference. He smiled slightly, his warm temperament becoming all the more prominent. This man looked to be twenty-five or twenty-six years old. His looks were clean and handsome. At first glance he looked very friendly but upon closer inspection, one could see that his eyes were sharp, as if he could see into the deepest part of a person’s heart.

 He spoke, his voice sounding extremely pleasant, “Are you called Xue Qing?”

Chi Zhao slowly turned his head to the side. It not only conformed to the original owner’s personality; it was also because he didn’t want to talk to this man.

Nonsense. The entire crew had already posted up photos of the protagonist taken during filming, yet this person came and asked if he was Xue Qing. Wasn’t he asking a question he already knew the answer to?

Seeing that he didn’t want to answer him, the man found it more amusing. He had seen Xue Qing on TV before, but he didn’t think that he was actually such a cute person in private. Determined to befriend him, the other party took out a business card from his pocket and give it to Chi Zhao, “You can call me Louis. This is my business card. If you have time, let’s have coffee together.”

Chi Zhao quickly turned his head back. His eyes were bright as he looked at the person opposite him, “What did you just say your name was?”

The man was slightly taken aback. This person seemed to be more interested in his English name. After a brief moment of being stunned, the man laughed gently, “Louis. It’s a name I used when I studied abroad. After being called it for so many years, I grew used to it so even back home, they continue to call me that.”

It was just having the same name. This person possessed no similarities with his Louis, but even if it was just a name, it instantly evoked many beautiful memories. Although the feelings inside him had been filtered out, the memories were still there. It was all worth remembering.

There was a moment of warmth in Chi Zhao’s eyes, a look he would never show when facing other people. Qi Yuyang who had finished dealing with company affairs and hurried over to the filming site was met with such a scene.

At two o’clock in the afternoon, the air was sultry. The sun that was now at a slight angle shone lazily onto the two people. Xue Qing was a few centimetres shorter than the other party, resulting in the need for him to look up at him. His gaze was very focused. Although Xue Qing wasn’t smiling, under the bright sunlight anyone could tell that he had a good impression of this man.

He clearly had already seen Xue Qing and he was already standing by his side, but Qi Yuyang felt the pain in his head become more and more obvious, and more and more severe. The pain this time was different from before and it also carried some anger.

Chi Zhao was about to take the business card when a hand suddenly appeared, roughly slapping his hand away and then grabbing the brand-new business card. The card was directly crushed in that hand, turning into wastepaper.

The man looked at Qi Yuyang in astonishment. Anger and desire to monopolise were so strong in Qi Yuyang’s eyes, it frightened him. The man found it very strange. He had never heard that Xue Qing was gay. Was this person his boyfriend or his suitor?

Chi Zhao was also surprised but he didn’t show it. Moreover, after a moment of surprise, his emotions were quickly replaced with unhappiness. He hadn’t seen what was written on the business card yet before Qi Yuyang roughly snatched it away. That was too disrespectful.

Through the corner of his eyes, Qi Yuyang saw a hint of dissatisfaction on Xue Qing’s face. In an instant, his temples swelled like they were about to explode. He glanced darkly at the man before mercilessly throwing his business card to the ground and dragging Chi Zhao away from the set by the wrist.

The man wanted to say something and reached out to stop him, but Qi Yuyang had walked too fast and he could only watch the two leave. He sighed, bent down and picked up the card that was completely crumpled up.

How much strength must’ve been used to crush such a hard piece of card to this degree? All he did was give Xue Qing a business card not insult him, so was it necessary becoming so agitated?

Excessive possessiveness can lead to psychological abnormalities. The boundary between objects and people would gradually blur and it could end up becoming dangerous. This wasn’t a good thing. He didn’t know if Xue Qing could withstand it.

The man shook his head slightly and internally expressed his worries.

At this moment, the screenwriter approached him and wondered, “Cheng Rang, what did you do to provoke President Qi?”

Cheng Ran was this man’s Chinese name. He was the screenwriter’s cousin and also the consultant for the script. He specialised in psychology and had helped provide the screenwriter with a lot of useful resources. Hearing the screenwriter’s question, Cheng Ran raised a brow, “You mean, that jealous god just now was Qi Yuyang?”

    Psychology……. If Cheng Ran is the intended love interest, any attempts to break the hypnosis might not work out so well. Qi Yuyang would be so suspicious of his intentions. 😂

    Lol, Chi Zhao finally knows that he can’t act, let’s hope he remembers later on. Will this ex-romantic interest be important? Because I think that the possessiveness of the ML has to be cured.
    Thanks for the chapter!

    Hahaha haha, Chi Zhao’s inability to act is now a proven fact 🤣 no wonder he fails every instance, he basically can’t help letting his own personality show through, which triggers ML’s love every time… I’m guessing that as the instances pile up, ML’s subconscious memories of him will get stronger and stronger.
