Chapter 205

The microphone went to the director. Chen Fan quietly watched the stage, scanning the surroundings.

Damn it, was there really no crazed fan out there? Come on, rush the stage already!

Ye Ziyue patted Chen Fan and said, “What are you looking at?”

“Don’t touch me. I’m annoyed, seriously.”

Lately, Liu Feifei felt her skills had been improving by leaps and bounds. Unknowingly, she’d grown much stronger, and her eyesight and hearing had skyrocketed.

Naturally, she spotted Chen Fan and Ye Ziyue in the crowd.

“Wow, those two actually showed up!”

Liu Feifei gave Cao Zijing a look, signaling her to check it out. Cao Zijing didn’t have much martial talent and couldn’t see that far, but she felt the person looked a lot like Chen Fan.

So, Chen Fan really came.

“By the way, are we ready?”

Liu Feifei said, “Ready. We’ve got a bodyguard to play the part. Sigh, no choice. Looks like this is how it’s gotta go.”

Cao Zijing nodded.

They could see Chen Fan’s anxiety. Clearly, this was a scene where the protagonist needed to shine.

The protagonist needed to show off, but Liu Feifei needed to play the fangirl. Both elements were necessary.

But they couldn’t let Liu Feifei fall into an awkward situation. So, Cao Zijing had come up with another way to handle it.

…

According to her speculation, as long as the protagonist successfully shows off, this plot point would be considered complete. As for how he shows off or who he saves, that’s uncertain.

But as long as the crowd at the scene gasps and cheers, it should be enough.

Meanwhile, Ye Ziyue looked at the stage and said, “Stop waiting. Are you waiting for a beauty or something?”

“Beauty, my ass. Don’t they say that at movie press conferences, there’s always some so-called crazed fan? I’m curious why there isn’t one today.”

“You saw the security today. There won’t be any. So, I suggest you give up on that idea.”

Chen Fan said, “Do you know anyone? Pull some strings, get someone to go up there.”

“No way. Why should I help you?”

You damn woman, burning bridges after crossing them. As expected of the third female lead—ruthless as hell.

Chen Fan gave her a side-eye and said, “Whatever. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll just start over.”

Ye Ziyue said, “I don’t get what you’re talking about. Let me ask you something.”

“Ask away. I’m single, I like girls, I’m rich, I won’t lend you money, I’ve loved before, that’s it.”

Pfft. Ye Ziyue burst out laughing and said, “I’m asking you, between me and Ye Zimei, who’s better?”

“Ye Zimei, obviously. Why ask such a dumb question?”

What the hell? Is this question dumb?

“You … how am I worse than my sister?”

“You’re worse than her in every way. Tell me, what can you compare with her on?”

“You tell me what to compare!”

Chen Fan smirked coldly and said, “The simplest thing—looks. You two are pretty much on par, both beauties, so that’s a tie, right? Even though you don’t have the same mom, and who knows if you have the same dad.”

“Not the same. Her dad is her dad, my dad is my dad.”

Great, your family’s even more messed up.

“Then let’s compare femininity. Do you think a man would choose a woman who knows everything or one who knows a lot but is reserved?”

“You … shameless! I’m trying to have a proper conversation, and you keep saying crude things!”

“I’m a crude person. What’s the big deal?”

You … shameless!

Ye Ziyue tried to calm herself down.

Honestly, her plan today was to get a bit closer to Chen Fan. After all, he’d healed her, so she owed him some gratitude.

Based on her assumptions, Chen Fan was free today. She wanted to stage a “chance encounter” and treat him to a meal.

Even though she knew this wouldn’t fully repay his kindness, she still felt she should give him something. But the group chat seemed to show that many people had complicated feelings toward Chen Fan. She wanted to try getting closer to him.

At the very least, she didn’t hate him that much. Sure, she found him annoying, but it wasn’t hatred—just that Chen Fan was utterly shameless.

“Fine, let’s not talk about that. Let’s talk about something else.”

Chen Fan turned and said, “What else? Your thought process is so weird. Let me ask you, what do men like?”

“Power, money, women.”

“Smart. Now, what’s the most relatable to everyday life?”

“Women.”

“Exactly. So since that’s the most relatable, why wouldn’t I choose Ye Zimei over you? Would I pick someone who makes me happy or someone I have to coax? Girl, practice more, or you’ll never get married.”

Arghhh!

Ye Ziyue was furious and reached out to pinch Chen Fan.

Chen Fan didn’t back down and pinched her back.

“Ow! What are you doing?”

“You pinched me, so I’m pinching you back. Why should you get to bully me?”

“Because I’m a girl, duh!”

This time, Ye Ziyue resorted to the most shameless tactic.

“Sorry, men and women are equal in my eyes, hahaha.”

Perfect.

Ye Ziyue leaned in and kissed him.

Chen Fan was dumbfounded, frozen in place.

“I’m a girl, and I did this. So, tell me, mister, how are you going to get back at me?”

“What the hell … I … you… shameless! Waaah!”

Chen Fan was so flustered he almost cried. This woman didn’t play by the rules! It was fun at first, but now she’d taken advantage of him, the shameless jerk!

Ye Ziyue couldn’t hold it in and burst out laughing.

“You … you’re actually kind of cute, haha. I didn’t expect you to have such a childish side.”

“What … you’re laughing at me now?”

Chen Fan didn’t back down and kissed her back.

Maybe it was partly out of revenge, but to say he didn’t like it? Impossible. Chen Fan actually quite liked Ye Ziyue.

If he didn’t like her at all, he wouldn’t have bothered with her legs. A girl who makes people feel for her—that’s the label Chen Fan gave her.

He just rarely expressed his true feelings openly.

Chen Fan wasn’t that dumb.

At that moment, the scene erupted into chaos because someone rushed onto the stage. They jumped up and charged toward Feifei.

Yes, Feifei, not Feifei (Liu Feifei).

The man was determined, barely wearing anything.

Feifei was scared stiff. At that moment, Ye Aotian reacted quickly, kicking out. With one swift kick, he sent the guy flying, then pulled Feifei into his arms.

The crowd instantly went wild, with countless people snapping photos and girls screaming.

Liu Feifei was the most ecstatic, going “Wow, wow, wow!”

No woman could resist seeing two guys in such an intimate moment.

But Liu Feifei was overwhelmed with gossip. She pointed at the distance, then at the stage.

In the distance, Chen Fan and Ye Ziyue were kissing. On the stage, Ye Aotian was holding a man.

Wow, this scene was just too impactful.

For a moment, Liu Feifei actually started fangirling, looking at Chen Fan in the distance.

Badass! Brother Chen Fan is seriously badass. What a ruthless guy. Take that, Ye Ziyue! You were so smug, and now look at you—tamed and dealt with.

Chen Fan snapped to attention, looking around, and said, “This is … holy crap.”

He looked at the scene on the stage and the surrounding chaos. In theory, Ye Aotian had successfully shown off.

But … what was supposed to be a romantic story … how did it turn into a comedy?

At that moment, a sweet song suddenly played at the venue.

“Sweet, sweet, your smile is so sweet …”

What the hell? Did the sound system break?
