Song Jianchu’s academic performance in his early studies was really not bad.
But it took him almost five seconds to understand this sentence.
In the remaining five seconds, Song Jianchu used to think.
His idol was a noble musician, who, except for drinking a little alcohol, should not be involved in the worldly affairs.
It must be that he misunderstood.
Song Jianchu: “Do you…agree?”
Mu Ye looked at him with a hint of blame, “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
“……………”
The last two words he heard that night, Song Jianchu never took seriously.
“The job is easy and the daily pay is sky-high.” The man’s expression had already begun to relax, pouring himself a cup of tea, “Such a good job is not easy to find.”
Mu Ye smiled at him, “I also have to thank the big sponsor for giving me this opportunity.”
Song Jianchu suspiciously looked the person in front of him up and down.
His gaze finally fixed on the cup in Mu Ye’s hand.
Song Jianchu frowned, “Did you drink alcohol?”
Mu Ye was taken aback, lowered his head to check his attire, and chuckled, “Why does everyone ask me that? Do I look like an alcoholic today?”
Song Jianchu’s eyes became complicated, and he confirmed again, “Are you really willing?”
Mu Ye put down the teacup and asked seriously, “When do I start working? Do I need to sign a labor contract?”
Song Jianchu: “……”
The change came too suddenly.
Song Jianchu was a bit confused, and for a moment, he couldn’t think beyond the reality to consider the process of responding.
A knock on the door broke the silence.
“Excuse me, Mr. Song Jianchu. Congratulations, you have become the Weibo Annual Celebrity Night Person of the Year!” said the staff member as they entered the room. “The award ceremony will begin in ten minutes. If you are rested, please follow me.”
Mu Ye stood up and resumed his serious look, gently smiling, “Congratulations.”
“Thank you,” Song Jianchu replied slowly, coming back to his senses and standing up.
He didn’t know how he returned to the seating area.
Mu Ye was a guest presenter and had to go backstage, so he didn’t come back with him.
The female host on stage smiled significantly, “Next, please welcome our special guest presenter, Muye, to announce the winner of the Weibo Annual Celebrity Night Person Award!”
The stage lights were dazzling, and the man’s handsome features were even clearer under the light. The girls in the audience’s hearts raced, and their screams almost blew the roof off.
Holding a card, Mu Ye stepped onto the stage and stood still, smiling in a certain direction in the audience.
The screams got even louder.
Meeting eyes with someone on stage, Song Jianchu’s eyes flickered slightly, and he calmly squeezed his fingers.
“This year’s Weibo Annual Celebrity Night Person is Song Jianchu, congratulations.”
There was no suspense.
The applause was loud and orderly.
The event proceeded in an orderly fashion until the final segment, and the director was preparing to wrap things up and call it a day when the audience suddenly lost control.
The big-name stars were all waiting.
Anyway, with so many people and voices, it was impossible to tell who was shouting. The whole crowd started making a racket.
Song Jianchu was about to stand up when someone behind him suddenly shouted, “Don’t play with your phone!!!”
“Come on, let’s get on with it! What are you waiting for? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!”
Song Jianchu blinked and slowly clenched his teeth.
He sat there with a dark expression for a few more seconds.
The director also found it amusing and had ambitions of becoming a variety show host. He took command of the situation and said, “Let’s change the award music.”
The music suddenly changed to the lively and joyous BGM “Another Day of Sun,” creating a subtly comedic atmosphere that was perfect for the occasion.
Everyone burst into laughter.
The bright spotlight shone on the male student in the front row, who was in the C seat.
Song Jianchu sat there with a stern expression for two more seconds, then stood up awkwardly in the midst of the commotion and walked up to the stage with a blank expression.
Mu Ye handed him the trophy and congratulated him again, “Congratulations.”
Song Jianchu took the trophy and said, “Thank you.”
Seeing this lackluster scene, someone in the audience shouted out in frustration, “Stop acting cool! Talk to the male god for a few minutes!”
“Fool! You can hug him!! Everyone else hugs when they receive their awards!”
“Come on! You have a good reason to do it, your male god won’t beat you up!”
“Don’t be a fool and regret it later!!”
Song Jianchu gritted his teeth and closed his eyes. Why did he have to be tortured by these people??
The female host waited for a while, seeing that Song Jianchu hadn’t said anything about his acceptance speech yet, she smiled and reminded him, “Demon King’s Little Brother, are you too nervous seeing your male god? What about your acceptance speech?”
“Thank you to the organizer.”
It was perfunctory, stiff, and official.
The whole audience quieted down for a moment, giving face to him.
“…?”
The female host was stunned, “Is that it?”
The audience below started getting noisy again.
“Where’s your male god?!”
“You missed such a good opportunity to improve his opinion of you?!”
“Don’t regret it later!”
Song Jianchu couldn’t take it anymore. His gaze turned sharp as he looked diagonally towards the person making the most noise, determined to remember their face.
The person beside him suddenly chuckled.
The darkness in his eyes dissipated.
Song Jianchu wearily closed his eyes, just wanting to leave this uncivilized place as soon as possible.
He made a slight turning motion.
The person beside him whispered, “You can thank your fans.”
Song Jianchu replied, “Thank you to my 50 million fans. Without your continued liking and support, I wouldn’t have achieved what I have today. Thank you to all the senior celebrities who have paved the way for us, it is everyone’s joint efforts that have brought vlogs into the public eye, providing netizens with a richer and more wonderful way of sharing life. Thank you to Weibo for providing us with a tolerant and open online platform for sharing. I hope that we can continue to progress together in the future. I will continue to work hard, creating higher-quality video content, and bringing more joy and positive energy to everyone.”
The award acceptance speech seemed as though it had been drafted beforehand.
The tone was rapid and mechanical, similar to the final thank you list for sponsors on variety shows.
When the demon king’s little brother suddenly became serious, everyone in the audience was stunned and didn’t want to “bully” him anymore.
He spoke fluently in one breath.
Song Jianchu’s face turned wooden as he turned and stepped off the stage.
Taking a half step forward, he gently leaned in for a natural and polite hug.
“Bang!!!”
Confetti and gold stars rained down from above.
The joyful music grew louder, but couldn’t overpower the girl’s piercing screams.
The whole audience held up their phones in unison.
The female host blushed for no apparent reason, clenching the microphone with a more impassioned tone: “Congratulations to the demon king’s little brother for successfully chasing his dreams!!”
“In the new year, I wish you all the success tonight has brought you!!!”
…
The noisy sound gradually faded away.
Song Jianchu’s expression was slightly stunned.
His chin gently rested on the broad shoulder as a low, ambiguous voice echoed in his ear.
It made half his face go numb.
“I hope the sponsor will quickly confirm my employment.”
“I’ll be waiting for your message.”
After the event ended, under the tropical night sky, the main road of the venue’s exit was packed with nanny cars and various luxury cars.
The temperature in Sanya was high, so Song Jianchu pushed his hair out of his face and held his suit jacket in his hand, standing on the side of the road to send a message.
Several beautiful female internet celebrities nearby had been eager to approach him for a long time, and finally gathered the courage to step forward.
“Demon king’s little brother, may we take a photo with you?”
Song Jianchu stopped typing and looked up.
The boy’s hair was casually swept up and down, and his clean-cut features looked even more handsome in person than in the video. His expression was indifferent and hard to approach.
The girl’s heart skipped a beat and her voice became quieter: “It’s okay if it’s not convenient…”
“Mm.”
The female internet celebrities happily took a group photo and left.
Song Jianchu lowered his head and continued to message Yin Chi.
Yin Chi happened to be on vacation in Sanya and insisted on picking him up, saying that he would take him to play for a few days. He was also tired and wanted to rest before going back.
[Song Jianchu: Have you arrived? Where are you?]
[Song Jianchu: If you don’t come soon, I’m leaving.]
[Yin Chi: Can’t you see me?]
[Yin Chi: Look up.]
Song Jianchu looked up.
On the spacious roadside lined with palm trees, a golden sports car stood out among the luxurious cars passing by, exuding a strong sense of swag that dazzled everyone’s eyes.
The convertible top of the car was lowered, and the man in the floral shirt and sunglasses in the car raised his hand and shouted, “Brother!”
The people around naturally looked at Song Jianchu.
Song Jianchu didn’t even pause his gaze for a second, and calmly turned around to make a phone call to his driver.
“Brother!”
“Brother! Over here!”
Seeing that his brother seemed to have trouble with his eyes, Yin Chi clicked his tongue and took off his sunglasses, “Song Jianchu!”
The people around: “…”
As expected.
Song Jianchu put down his phone expressionlessly, put on his sunglasses, and calmly got into the golden sports car.
“You couldn’t hear me even when I shouted so loudly?”
Yin Chi turned his head and his brother looked slightly disheveled.
“Drive.”
Having watched the livestream, Yin Chi knew that this guy had just gone through a lot of physical contact, so he suppressed his laughter and didn’t congratulate him on the excitement. “You participated in the event as soon as you got off the plane. Are you tired? Fasten your seatbelt, bro, and let’s go celebrate!”
Song Jianchu buckled up his seatbelt. The golden sports car drove away in front of the gaze of the onlookers, who muttered “just as expected.”
Facing the warm night breeze, Song Jianchu leaned against the car window and squinted his eyes, asking, “Your artist is shooting a music video in Sanya?”
“How did you know?” Yin Chi was surprised. “Who leaked the news? This is confidential information about the debut album of our new artist.”
The boy’s voice was lazy. “I thought you took the props car from the MV set.”
“…,” Yin Chi was speechless.
“Damn, you noticed that?” Yin Chi played a song and laughed. “I came to pick you up and take care of your image. Otherwise, if your fans find out that you are different from your videos in private, they will be disappointed and unfollow you.”
Song Jianchu said, “Then I thank them.”
“Hahaha,” Yin Chi laughed.
Driving along the beach at night, the car stopped halfway, and Yin Chi noticed that his companion was abnormally silent.
Yin Chi looked at him worriedly. “Are you uncomfortable?”
Song Jianchu leaned his arm outside the car window and lazily watched the rising tide of the night sea.
After a while, he said, “Brother.”
“?” Yin Chi was surprised and responded after a few seconds. “Hey, I’m here, brother.”
It’s a bitter story.
After so many years, Yin Chi had called his brother thousands of times, but his brother had never verbally responded to his brotherhood until now.
Yin Chi was inexplicably moved, and his tone softened a bit. “What’s wrong?”
“How do you support a celebrity?” Song Jianchu asked.
“Huh?” Yin Chi thought he had misheard.
The boy turned his head, and his clean eyes shimmered under the constantly flashing streetlights.
Before Yin Chi could fully grasp what was different in that moment, his brother quickly returned to his usual indifferent demeanor.
Song Jianchu said, “Give me some practical advice.”
so acting spoiled and show off was just pretend 😂😂
