What to Do When Pretending to Be an Alpha Gets Exhausting [Entertainment Industry] - Chapter 11

Ye Xingyuan suspected he had sleepwalked in the middle of the night and gone to bribe the director.

Otherwise, why would he receive such a huge welfare gift package first thing in the morning?

He could actually observe at close range… Pei Yanchen’s eight-pack abs!! That perfect body proportion, those super sexy abs comparable to a man-made sculpture.

The director asked, “Any problems?”

“No, no…” Ye Xingyuan answered too quickly. Realizing that the director and Pei Yanchen were both looking at him somewhat strangely, he hurriedly steadied the excitement and joy in his heart and forced himself to appear calm. “But Director, I haven’t seen the script for this scene yet.”

The director nodded. “That’s exactly why I called you over. The script was revised overnight by the screenwriter. After finishing and sending it to me, they went to catch up on sleep and still haven’t arrived on set. But for this scene, it doesn’t matter even if you don’t read the script. You don’t have any lines. In a bit, Best Actor Pei will be bathing inside. You’ll hide behind the screen and secretly watch. Just give the right reactions in time.”

Ye Xingyuan listened seriously and could not help asking, “He’s really taking off his clothes and bathing directly?”

When he asked this, his eyes even lit up.

Pei Yanchen inexplicably felt as though he were being spied on, even though his clothes were clearly still on his body.

The director raised his voice. “Of course he has to take them off. How is he supposed to bathe without taking them off? Dry cleaning? Not only does he have to take them off, he has to take off…”

“Everything?”

The director rolled his eyes at him directly. “Listen to yourself. Are those human words? Even if you want to see it, Best Actor Pei can’t possibly devote himself to that extent. Besides, even if Best Actor Pei were willing, I wouldn’t be able to pass review.”

Pei Yanchen said with a dark expression, “I’m not willing.”

Director: “…I was just saying it casually. You actually took it seriously.”

Pei Yanchen turned around coldly and walked toward the filming location.

Ye Xingyuan secretly laughed behind him and hurriedly followed.

Several times, he almost laughed out loud.

He lowered his head and focused on laughing, failing to notice when Pei Yanchen in front of him had stopped. His head directly bumped into him.

Ye Xingyuan rubbed his head and looked up. Pei Yanchen turned around and glanced at him. “Is it that funny?”

Ye Xingyuan shook his head. “No. I suddenly thought of a joke, so I laughed. I wasn’t laughing about you taking off your clothes.”

Pei Yanchen’s gaze darkened a little more, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Ye Xingyuan wanted to say a few more words to him, but just as he was about to speak, System 001’s voice sounded in his mind.

“Friendly reminder: Your mission is to surpass Pei Yanchen, not obtain Pei Yanchen.”

Ye Xingyuan stopped in his tracks and watched Pei Yanchen walk farther away. Unconvinced, he said, “What’s contradictory about wanting to be friends with him and surpassing him?”

System 001 slowly displayed a data panel that only Ye Xingyuan could see.

There were three progress bars on the data panel.

They were Wishes 1, 2, and 3.

Wishes 1 and 2 had both gained a tiny bit of progress, both at 0.05%.

Only Wish 3 had not advanced into green. Instead, it had turned red. The progress bar information read: -5%.

Ye Xingyuan was heartbroken. “Why is Wish 3 negative?”

System 001 said regretfully, “Think about what you were fantasizing about the first day you saw Pei Yanchen. And those dozens of photo books you’re waiting to receive. And all that unspeakable junk currently inside your mind. Would you like me to perform an intelligent cleanup for you?”

…

“Pei Yanchen is an idiot.”

Ye Xingyuan quietly cursed at Pei Yanchen’s back.

Then the red section on Wish 3’s progress bar shrank a tiny bit, and the progress information changed to -4%.

…Just how much hatred did the original owner have toward Pei Yanchen?

They had originally been about to start filming, but when they were preparing to begin, they discovered that the equipment had malfunctioned, delaying them by half an hour.

Pei Yanchen liked quiet. Aside from his assistant, not many people dared approach his resting area.

The weather was too hot. Liu Xiaojun stuffed a small handheld fan into Pei Yanchen’s hand and stood beside him, fanning him with another fan.

“Brother Chen, don’t you think Ye Xingyuan has changed a lot recently? Lately, whenever he sees you, he’s always smiling. Before, he always glared at you coldly like you owed him money and hadn’t paid it back. Now, when he looks at you, it’s like a rabbit seeing a carrot, or a child seeing candy. His eyes are full of surprise… Do you think he really likes you?”

Pei Yanchen was resting with his eyes closed. Hearing his assistant’s words, he opened his eyes. His gaze looked cold enough to freeze someone, and it was impossible to see his emotions. His tone was merely indifferent. “Petty tricks.”

Liu Xiaojun had followed him for a long time, so he could guess his meaning accurately every time. Shocked, he sucked in a cold breath and said, “No wonder he’s been acting like a completely different person lately. So he changed his persona and is deliberately fooling us? Then is he doing this because he wants to build a good relationship with us on purpose?”

Pei Yanchen did not want to continue this topic and closed his eyes without answering.

The assistant tactfully stopped speaking and quietly waved the fan beside him.

But in his heart, waves were already surging.

From afar, he saw Ye Xingyuan seriously reading the script. That diligent energy was enough to make people look at him in a new light, but this person’s scheming really made one’s hair stand on end. In the past, he had hidden nothing in his heart. If he disliked someone, he snapped at them directly. If he liked Su Luoqing, he chased after him with all his strength. Like a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger, he had opposed Brother Chen at every turn.

But now, he could actually hide such deep thoughts without showing a trace.

He had thought Ye Xingyuan had turned over a new leaf and become a good person again. He had not expected him to be playing tricks, wanting to manipulate everyone in the palm of his hand.

Fortunately, Brother Chen was not stupid.

“Actors, prepare.”

“Camera crew, prepare.”

“Everyone, get ready.”

The director shouted through the megaphone.

Ye Xingyuan quickly stood and walked into the frame.

Pei Yanchen had already passed him and walked toward the bath barrel. The camera moved along with him.

The servant Ye Xingyuan played had long harbored evil intentions.

He knew that the prince had returned in triumph today and would certainly bathe first. He also knew very clearly that this timing was almost the prince’s rut period.

Like Omegas, Alphas would also have a vulnerable period every so often. For Omegas, it was heat, but the essence was roughly the same.

The servant had a sweet mouth and knew how to please people. He had gained the princess consort’s fondness and trust, and was almost always brought along by the princess consort every day. Because of that, the servant had the opportunity to secretly see the prince’s rut schedule.

It was actually very close to his own heat.

That day,

Because the princess consort was unwell, he did not accompany the prince to bathe.

After making an excuse to leave, the servant took advantage of the lack of guards and quietly slipped into the room, peeking at the prince bathing from behind the screen.

The prince was tall, mighty, and devoted to the princess consort. The servant came from a poor background but yearned for a phoenix’s life, and even more, he envied how the princess consort could receive the prince’s love.

From the first moment he saw the prince, he had quietly planted the seed of love.

The servant had planned for a long time and now suddenly became daring.

He held his breath, spying on the prince bathing and changing clothes. The longing and love in his eyes poured out without reservation.

Pei Yanchen took off his clothes, wearing only white undergarments. Following the camera, he slowly stepped into the water. His sexy figure was bared before the lens, his firm abs and chest muscles outlined inch by inch. The splashing water droplets clung to the bulging muscles and slowly slid along the grooves and lines.

Ye Xingyuan’s gaze focused on one transparent water droplet. Following that droplet, he traced Pei Yanchen’s perfectly proportioned body inch by inch.

This face, this body…

Far too stunning.
