Over the years, he had been bullied by He Mu’s fans and water army, and his resources have been suppressed by Dijun Media. Netizens who were previously guided by public opinion were now coming back to their senses and realizing that Luo Yu was not as low as He Mu exaggerated.

Image design in the entertainment industry was a marketing tool, and they were not the only two to have the same image collision. But why didn’t others tear each other up, and only He Mu acted like “I am the only one”?

If competing with He Mu for roles meant eating his leftovers, then there were many people who were eating He Mu’s leftovers, including other first rate stars. 

It was just that He Mu’s fans and the water army they hired seemed to be the mainstream of opinions on the Internet. They were filled with righteous indignation and exaggerated an incident that simply did not violate public order and good customs in the first place to make He Mu a victim, which led some netizens’ system of values ​​astray.

Now it was time to return to the right track.

Gu Xiaowei’s phone vibrated. It was a WeChat message from Li Qian.

[Thank Xiao Qin for the information, otherwise I would not have noticed that it was He Mu’s sub account. Remember to give extra chicken legs to Xiao Qin.]

Gu Xiaowei normally never responded to such messages, but he thought about it and typed a few words this time: [I ask that Mr. Li will not involve Luo Yu.]

[He is now an important character in this drama, and I will not use him as cannon fodder.]

When “Counterattack” was released, Bai Ying’s role would definitely become a classic supporting role. Coupled with Lin Yue and Hua Xingyun’s favorable impression of him, who would say whether Xinghan Pictures would not take a fancy to Luo Yu and want to sign him. When the time came, Li Qian’s actions forcing He Mu to publicly apologize to Luo Yu could be regarded as the sincerity of Xinghan Pictures.

Putting the phone aside, Gu Xiaowei turned sideways and looked at the sleeping Luo Yu. He gently brushed away Luo Yu’s hair that fell on his face. He remembered during filming, when he jumped into the water and saw Luo Yu with closed eyes and appearing lifeless, Gu Xiaowei felt an icy chill from his heart to his brain, his breathing became stagnant, as if all his life was sucked away by the other like a thread.

The director thought he was too immersed in the scene, and Luo Yu mistook him for Yan Ye, but only Gu Xiaowei knew that he pushed Luo Yu to the water with all his strength because of his own fear.

There were always things in this world that human power could not control——such as life and death.

Gu Xiaowei’s fingertip slipped under the tip of Luo Yu’s nose, confirming his breathing.

When the soft breath brushed his knuckles, all the caution and restraint became warm and lazy, dissipating in the air.

Knowing that he was playing with fire, Gu Xiaowei’s fingertip still touched Luo Yu’s lips. He couldn’t help but feel the softness and warmth of the other’s lips. The blood that had been forcibly cooled was about to boil again, up until that person opened his mouth, his lips touching his knuckles unconsciously.

Luo Yu’s eyelashes fluttered, and Gu Xiaowei immediately took his hand back.

“En, you’re awake… what time is it now…” Luo Yu sat up and rubbed his eyes, showing a rare childish manner.

“It’s half past six in the evening.” Gu Xiaowei said, “Xiao Qin will come to bring us dinner later.”

“What? 6:30? Did I sleep for so long?” Luo Yu took his phone and looked at it. It was indeed half-past six, and he had actually slept for more than twelve hours?

“Are you worried that you won’t be able to sleep at night?” Gu Xiaowei asked.

“I will definitely not be able to sleep.” Luo Yu scratched the back of his head.

“Then let’s practice lines.”

Luo Yu gave Gu Xiaowei a “you’re so boring” look. After sleeping for so long, it was time to go to the bathroom to relieve himself.

Don’t mention it, it was indeed a little urgent.

Luo Yu slept on the inside, and if he wanted to go out, Gu Xiaowei would have to get out of the way, but he was in a hurry and couldn’t care about it, instead he stepped over Gu Xiaowei’s body.

Before one of his feet even touched the ground and the other foot was still at Gu Xiaowei’s other side, he lost his balance and was about to fall down.

Gu Xiaowei once again displayed his amazing arm strength, grabbed Luo Yu’s waist, and lifted him up. As a result, he ended up sitting on Gu Xiaowei’s body.

Compared with falling on top of the other, this position was… more embarrassing.

Luo Yu put his hands on Gu Xiaowei’s chest, and looking at Gu Xiaowei’s heavy eyes, he suddenly laughed.

“Does this… look like the scene between you and the heroine? In… in the twelfth episode… Hahaha! Audiences love to watch this kind of drama… Your acting skills are so good at times like this, your eyes… No one would have thought that you are a perpetually single dog!”

Looking at Luo Yu’s carefree smile, Gu Xiaowei sat motionless on the bed, but his hands on Luo Yu’s waist did not let go.

“What’s wrong with my eyes?” Gu Xiaowei asked.

“It’s just the legendary–—affectionate look even when faced with a dog!” Luo Yu laughed so hard that his shoulders trembled.

Gu Xiaowei suddenly straightened his back and approached Luo Yu. The closer he got, the clearer and clearer the face that made countless people’s hearts flutter became.

At this time someone passed by in the corridor humming a tune.

——I look at you like the long wind looking forward to the bright moon, like the south wind rushing to Xizhou…

Luo Yu’s hand that was originally supporting himself on Gu Xiaowei suddenly didn’t know where to place themselves. He leaned back slightly and tried to support himself on the bed with his hand, but what he ended up pressing was the other’s leg.

Gu Xiaowei’s hand clasped Luo Yu’s back, and as he pulled him forward, Luo Yu almost bumped into Gu Xiaowei, so he quickly placed his hands on Gu Xiaowei’s shoulders.

“But Director Lin said that I am not good at emotional scenes. Senior Brother, are you sure that this ‘affectionate look even when faced with a dog’ refers to me?” Gu Xiaowei said unhurriedly.

The look in his eyes was aloof and ascetic, but suddenly it seemed to hold countless hooks and barbs. The end of restraint was indulgence and madness.

Luo Yu was stunned for two seconds, then his lips curved slowly, “Teacher Gu, why do I feel that the look in your eyes has become so provocative?”

Gu Xiaowei’s eyes didn’t dodge at all, “Acting with Senior Brother always makes me full of desire to win. Ordinary scenes are boring. How about we compete——who is more affectionate than whom? Who can make the heart flutter more?”

Speaking of the desire to win, Luo Yu also had it.

In the previous life, when they performed a stage play together, from time to time, they would “duel” on stage, comparing lines, expressions, and presence.

It was just that this was the first time to compete on who was more affectionate.”

It was a bit of an… intriguing challenge.

Lowering his eyes, Luo Yu rubbed his fingers and thought for two seconds. When he raised his eyes again, everything changed.

His mild smile held a trace of dignified brilliance, as if it was shining into the flesh and blood of the person in front of him, revealing his unconquerable soul that outsiders spoke of.

Gu Xiaowei looked up at the other person, a certain kind of impulse and desire becoming deeper and deeper. He could clearly see that the eyes of the person in front of him had nothing to do with affection, but somewhere in his heart it was as if he was bewitched… he wanted to pull off the other’s wings, even if his wings were so sharp they would pierce his chest.

Suddenly, Luo Yu’s expression became impatient, and the distorted world suddenly returned to its original state at that moment.

“Teacher Gu! We can compete again next time——I’m really in a hurry to go to the toilet!”

Luo Yu broke free from Gu Xiaowei’s hand, jumped over and rushed into the bathroom.

Gu Xiaowei listened to Luo Yu’s movements, leaned back, and raised his hands to cover his eyes.

“I’m really crazy… to have believed you.”

When Luo Yu came out of the bathroom, he saw that Gu Xiaowei had already gotten up from the bed.

There was a knock on the door, and Xiao Qin’s cheerful voice sounded.

“Brother Gu! Brother Luo! I’m here to deliver dinner! There’s lotus leaf chicken today!”

Gu Xiaowei opened the door, silently took the takeout bags from Xiao Qin’s hand, and placed the containers on the table one by one.

“Xiao Qin, you’re here! Let Brother Luo take a look at you——do you have dark circles under your eyes from going back so late yesterday?” Luo Yu came to Xiao Qin and looked closely, “En, it seems to be the case.”

“Thank you, Brother Luo, for feeling sorry for me! But Brother Luo, have you seen the hot searches? It’s such a great vent of anger! He Mu and He Mu’s studio sent you an apology on Weibo!”

Luo Yu was stunned for a moment, “Apology? Why did He Mu apologize to me?”

“Because he used a sub account to troll you everywhere! He is nasty and mean, not like a top star at all! Although when he apologized, he said that the sub account was not his, but a staff member of his team! But who believes that! What staff member would sneak into his room every day to take pictures and show off his luxury goods? Now he’s tripped up!”

Luo Yu showed a puzzled expression, “Even if he scolded me with a sub account, how could he be uncovered?”

“Then you have to thank our Brother Gu!” Xiao Qin said with an expression as if asking for credit, “I was so angry with He Mu’s sub account, so I took a screenshot and sent it to Brother Gu to see! I want Brother Gu to know that someone is targeting his senior brother online! But who knew that Brother Gu sent me a message very calmly!”

“What message?” Luo Yu was also curious.

Xiao Qin imitated Gu Xiaowei’s tone and said: “The trophy in this Weibo is the New Media Super Rising Star Award! It is only awarded to the most popular newcomer of the year!”

Luo Yu lowered his head, opened his phone, and easily found the photo with the trophy. It was so inconspicuous in the corner, how could it be discovered by Gu Xiaowei?

“Brother Gu, you have such a sharp eye!” Luo Yu imitated Xiao Qin’s tone perfectly.

Gu Xiaowei coughed and touched the top of Luo Yu’s head, “Senior Brother… don’t make fun.”

Xiao Qin said with a proud expression: “Mr. Li is in charge of publicity, of course I must tell him! But I didn’t have his WeChat, so I told the publicity specialist he assigned to the crew. As expected of Mr. Li, he hit He Mu’s vitals with one strike! I didn’t expect He Mu to give in so quickly this time! I thought he would just pass the responsibility for the sub account to his assistant, but I didn’t expect that he would actually recognize your acting skills!”

Once he recognized Luo Yu’s acting skills, he could no longer say that Luo Yu lost the roles they competed on due to lack of ability.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

He suffered so much injustice in his previous life, and even though he later returned to the film and television industry through superb stage play performances, he never expected to receive an apology from He Mu.

Luo Yu looked at the apology announcement that topped the trending list, feeling mixed feelings but also becoming more clear headed.
