A Contractual Marriage with the Best Leading Actor Chapter 115

I’m Sorry Xi-laoshi (1)

“...” Xia Yang was speechless.

He even has anti-fans in this program team?

Just at that thought, someone walked past them and noticed Bai Qi. The person stopped in their tracks and said, “My my, I was just wondering where has Mr. Bai gone, if you’re bored, and if you need someone to chat with. So, are you and Xia Yang acquaintances? ”

“We just met,” Bai Qi replied.

“...”

The person who was trying to start a conversation with Bai Qi is a male actor in his 30s. He used to be popular a few years ago after he acted in a drama. His name… well, frankly Bai Qi couldn’t recall.

‘Is Feng his surname?’

Mr. Feng smiled and said, “Mr. Bai has such a good temper. You’re very approachable.”

Just then, Xia Feng realized something too.

The person in front of him, who looked like a highschool boy, was not a staff member.

Xia Yang turned to Mr. Feng and asked, “Feng-laoshi, let us practice our lines.”

It seemed like they would need to partner up to deliver the lines.

Mr. Feng smiled and waved him off. “I’ll pass, I’m used to memorizing the script by myself to figure out the emotions of the character.”

Xia Yang frowned. “But there isn’t much time left…”

“Oh, but we still have to figure out the character of the role, don’t we?” Mr. Feng said.

Mr. Feng looked at Bai Qi and suggested, “Mr. Bai, why don’t you have a seat over there? It’s more spacious. Drinks and cakes are available too.”

“It’s alright,” Bai Qi replied.

Mr. Feng couldn’t figure out Bai Qi’s true temperament and intention. So, he nodded and walked away.

Xia Yang’s frown deepened. “I don’t need tuition,” he said in a low voice.

He stood up and followed after Mr. Feng.

Bai Qi saw through it.

It was very obvious that Mr. Feng couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to Xia Yang.

Just like what Bai Qi had guessed, Xia Yang was rejected again and he came back with a long face. He sat down and started to read the lines of the script outloud.

And all he did was read.

“I will not die, and you won't either. Trust me, I will find a way to save you.” Xia Yang made the lines sound utterly dry and awkward. He was like a university student who was trying to put more emotion into reading a short English essay, but the delivery was odd because they didn’t understand most of the words in the essay.

‘Huh?’

‘Even I can do better than that…”

Bai Qi couldn't help but say, “You’re emphasizing on the wrong words.”

Xia Yang halted and looked up. “... Can we practice together?”

‘Huh???’

Well, he was a fan of his.

Bai Qi puckered his lips and took the script that was passed to him.

Xia Yang had already memorized all his lines, so he didn’t need to read the lines from the script.

He merely memorized the lines, huh?

“It’s your turn,” Xia Yang said.

Bai Qi cleared his throat. “Ge, don’t go, please don’t go.” He looked frightened, with tears in his eyes. His voice was hoarse and frail, and he sounded like a butterfly which had its wings torn apart.

“...’

‘?’

“Do you not remember your lines anymore?” Bai Qi asked.

“I need tuition, so help me. Look, over here, I know what emotions I should display, but why can’t I seem to get it right when I deliver the lines?”

“I’ll give you tuition for high school subjects.”

Xia Yang frowned. “That’s not important, right now this is…’

Bai Qi scrunched his brows and gently reminded him. “But… even if you were to cram now, it’ll be pointless. Your acting is really… not that great. Wouldn’t it be better for you to go home and take tuition for high school subjects? Your fans suffer every time you act. Not only do they have to keep the criticisms in the comment section under control, they also have to stream your videos to increase the views.”

“...”

So, he really is an anti-fan.

Xia Yang carefully observed Bai Qi.

It was then that he realized that Bai Qi was actually very good looking. His eyes seemed to sparkle.

“Are you here to join the competition? Or?” Xia Yang asked.

“As a family member,” Bai Qi answered

Xia Yang hung his head low. It seemed like he was really questioning himself.

A family member? Even a family member of some random person can act better than him?

“Will you really not consider getting tuition for your high school subjects?” Bai Qi asked softly.

“No…”

“Is Yang-ge planning to buy a high school graduation certificate for you?”

“How do you know?” Xia Yang looked at Bai Qi in shock. He frowned. ‘How has this been leaked so soon?’

As a male groupie, Bai Qi sincerely said, “Oh, you better stay away from that. A celebrity had just been caught last month for doing something like that, and authorities are working extra hard to clamp down on academic misconduct. You’ll become the center of mockery if you were to buy into that. Your fans don’t have it easy you know.”

‘It’s true!’

It was especially true for Bai Qi, who had N number of celebrities to stand up for. It was super tiring for him to switch between all his different accounts.
