Chapter 15 一 He Doesn’t Need Others to Be Nice to Him.
Because the crew was going to leave in the evening, Bai Ruogu had to go back to his rental house to pack his luggage. Therefore, he declined Lin Chen’s invitation to go together and went back alone.
Lin Chen stood at the doorstep watching Bai Ruogu’s figure fade into the distance, momentarily lost in thought.
He clenched and then released his hand, murmuring softly, “Quite a special person.”
Until Bai Ruogu’s figure was no longer visible, he leaned against the door frame, opened his smart brain, and scrolled to the official account of the crew…
The account had been created not long ago, with only a few hundred followers, most of whom were crew members.
As he scrolled down, there was only one post on the official account: [Light Years Official V: I’ve joined the ‘Everyday’ big family, everyone come follow me!]
He shook his head, his finger hesitating above the like button, before finally closing the page with his hand.
The official account wasn’t in a hurry to promote, and he didn’t need to rush either. Besides, neither of them were fools, they could calculate.
As if suddenly remembering something, he opened his smart brain and scrolled to the contacts, then dialed one of the profiles.
The screen filled with static glitch1, and it was so laggy that even the sound was lagging.
Lin Chen rubbed his head in frustration. He couldn’t understand what was going on. It was as if he was cursed. Ever since he lost internet connection on set, his internet speed had been moving at a snail’s pace. He tried to fix the problem by paying for a faster plan, but his payment was rejected. This was starting to drive him crazy.
After an unknown amount of time, there was finally a sound from the other side.
“Wei, Hello, Mr. Lin! What a pleasure to hear from you…”
“It’s truly an honor to have you contact us proactively.”
“What? Endorsement? Alright, alright, do you think we still doubt the people you introduce to us?”
“This…Bai Ruogu? You’re not talking about that person… are you?”
“Alright, alright, no problem. For the sake of Mr. Lin’s reputation, we’ll just give them all to Mr. Bai. We won’t worry about the sales volume.”
“Okay, okay, we’ll take the initiative to contact. We absolutely won’t disclose your information, so please rest assured.”
Lin Chen finished the call and closed the smart brain. He glanced at the bracelet on his wrist a few more times, then finally put down his arm and went inside.
Since Bai Ruogu didn’t want money, he could have given him some resources instead. Anyway, he never lacked this kind of thing, but the current Bai Ruogu should have needed it.
After finishing everything, Lin Chen didn’t feel anything special. He walked towards the mecha room, wanting to see his brother, Suoer, again.
As he looked ahead on the path, the smart brain on his wrist flashed a red indicator light, emitting a long-lasting glow before falling silent.
. . . . .
Bai Ruogu returned to his rental room after a busy day. He looked at the time on his wrist and realized he would have to leave in about an hour and a half.
Concentrating all day left him feeling weary, so he set the alarm clock, planning to rest for an hour first, and then spend half an hour packing after waking up from a nap.
He casually took off his shoes, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep before even covering himself with the blanket.
Exhausted all over, he experienced a brief moment of relaxation, with a hint of contentment on his face.
Su Miao floated nearby, quietly watching Bai Ruogu, using all his rationality to suppress the uprising emotion called riot.
His eyes blinked lightly, and his virtual heart was scorching hot, as if it was being washed by lava.
Beyond all the precise calculations, there was a mysterious sensation that transcended science: a sense of soul connection that could be locked onto with just one glance, leading one to believe that person to be ‘the one’.
Su Miao’s long silent heart started beating. Just 50% more, and he could unlock all his emotions, daring to recall everything they had been through from start to finish, daring to release his emotions, expressing all his obsessions….
Bai Ruogu forgot to close the window, and his exposed skin felt a bit cold. He rolled around in bed, trying to cover himself with the blanket, but due to fatigue, he lacked strength and failed several times.
Su Miao’s eyes flashed, and at the same time, news from Lin Chen’s side was transmitted…
An outsider was being kind to Bai Ruogu.
It seemed to trigger something, and Su Miao’s gaze became sharp. The next moment, his entire virtual body suddenly dissipated, and above Bai Ruogu’s bed, there was suddenly a thick, bluish light protective cover.
The cover gently descended, enveloping Bai Ruogu’s entire body securely. The warmth from the cover transferred to Bai Ruogu instantly, causing him to sigh with relief, squinting his eyes, his expression becoming content.
He pulled at the cover on his body, wrapping himself up like pulling a blanket around. Wrapped in the center of the light cover, he felt warm all over, as comfortable as lying in a warm quilt in winter.
The light cover also wrapped around Bai Ruogu tightly, sealing tightly together, with no gap between them.
The light cover behind Bai Ruogu was obviously thicker, pressing against his back. A pair of strong arms reached out from behind the light cover, wrapping around Bai Ruogu’s waist and locking him in. Even his legs were not spared, wrapped in a translucent, deep blue object.
Bai Ruogu slept very comfortably, feeling reluctant when awakened by the alarm clock, cuddling his “blanket” and rolling over, not even wanting to open his eyelids.
As he hesitated and struggled, suddenly he heard a cold, mechanical sound, the source of which was near his head, close to his ears.
“Would you like to start the housekeeping system to automatically pack your luggage?”
Bai Ruogu scratched his ear, thinking it was the bed’s built-in sound system. He yawned, hugged the “pillow” behind him, and mumbled, “Activate it and help me tidy up.”
“Okay.”
In a daze, there were faint sounds in the rental house, and Bai Ruogu knew it was packing his luggage for him, without thinking much about it. He just suddenly wondered why he hadn’t noticed this system before? This way, he wouldn’t have to do household chores every day as before.
Half an hour passed in an instant, and the familiar cold mechanical voice called him up again.
Bai Ruogu opened his eyes and suddenly felt a bit cold. Carefully looking down, he didn’t know where the blanket had been kicked off to.
Bai Ruogu: ?
Then what was he covered with before?
Time was tight, and Bai Ruogu didn’t think much about it. He got up and saw the neatly packed luggage bag next to him. Opening it casually, he found everything he needed inside, without anything he needed to rearrange.
A trace of doubt arose in Bai Ruogu’s heart, but because time was pressing, he didn’t have time to think carefully. He hurriedly picked up the luggage bag and rushed to the set.
Upon arriving at the set, the director had already rented a large aircraft in advance, and the crew members were busy moving equipment inside.
Bai Ruogu chatted with Li Huai for a while and also learned about the destination of their trip this time.
This planet was a mid-to-low-level planet nearly a thousand light-years away from planet Ruogu. At this time, civilization was similar to that of ancient Earth in the 17th and 18th centuries.
The place they were going to land this time was somewhat like ancient Europe, except that some technological inventions were relatively early.
After a while, everyone was ready, and they all boarded the aircraft one after another. Shortly after, the pilot started the aircraft, and it disappeared from planet Ruogu in an instant.
Director Li Huai leaned against the window, watching the distant planet recede, and breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, he finally had the courage to officially announce the movie on the interstellar network.
Today was originally a calm day as usual. Netizens lay at home leisurely browsing the StarNet, but as they scrolled through, they stumbled upon a strange post…
This post was an official announcement from a film crew, and they hadn’t heard of the movie’s name before. They quickly glanced over the cast list, most of which were unfamiliar names.
Huh! Another flop! Netizens didn’t even want to look at it, and some even doubted how they stumbled upon such a boring post.
However, shortly after, discussions about this movie called “Light Years” grew more and more, to the point where every three or four posts, one was about discussing “Light Years”.
Netizens: ??
Now this was odd. They hadn’t even heard of this thing before, so why were so many people discussing it all of a sudden?
Something fishy was going on! Netizens, driven by curiosity, clicked into the comments section, wanting to see what was worth discussing about this movie.
Until—
They suddenly sat up, their eyes fixed firmly on Lin Chen’s name, as if unable to believe it, they returned to the homepage and looked again at the cast list of the “Light Years” film crew.
Starring: Bai Ruogu, Lin Chen, Zhang Yuqing…
Wait! They rubbed their eyes in disbelief, even specifically clicked on the names to check their profiles, and found out they were indeed not homonyms, which left them completely baffled.
Lin Chen’s popularity was just too high. Basically, every three or four netizens, one would be Lin Chen’s fan. When they saw their idol suddenly appearing on a cast list for some unknown movie, their immediate reaction was confusion, followed by ecstatic joy!
Oh my! What’s going on? Has our brother come out of hiding? Our brother is finally back at work. Ahhh, I can’t wait to see him on the screen soon!
For any normal person, facing an unknown production crew, their first reaction would be that the crew was too low-key, there might be big shots among them!
Excitedly, they started searching for information about the movie cast. But after repeated searches, they almost turned everything upside down. No matter how much information they found, it all indicated that this crew was terrible, almost making them doubt their life choices.
What’s going on? They knocked on their smart brains hard, and their glasses almost fell off after they made sure there was no problem.
An outdated director who had directed seven or eight flops, a toxic lead actor whose movies had been boycotted countless times, a bunch of actors who had never appeared on screen?
Oh my gosh! They shook their heads in disbelief. Brother, if you were kidnapped, please blink your eyes.
On this day, Lin Chen made a comeback and directly rushed to the top of the hot topic, with a red “hot” character added at the end.
Subsequently, a series of hot topics followed suit.
#Lin Chen Returns with a Flop#
#Mysterious Production Crew#
#Lin Chen’s Decision to Take on a Movie Role Has an Inside Story#
Just when everyone started suspecting that Lin Chen was clueless about this movie, all of Lin Chen’s fans suddenly found a new notification in their inbox.
