A Contractual Marriage with the Best Leading Actor Chapter 154

He Kissed Him (1) - unedited

In the end, Bai Qi ended up putting on the weird attire that the assistant had passed to him. Then, he proceeded to the makeup room. The makeup artist did his makeup while he read through the script.

He’d already worn an apron with a ribbon. So, how could he possibly fear putting on a woman’s attire?

Back then when he was still living in the dorms, the punishment for the losers of a round of online gaming with the opposite dorm was to wear girl’s Japanese high school uniforms (seifuku). However, Bai Qi didn’t participate in the bet because he was busy running around the place tutoring people at their homes. In the end, Mu Dong, who was 184cm, put on the seifuku and admitted their dorm’s defeat by shouting, “My good brother, I surrender, have mercy on me”.

When Bai Qi returned after tutoring, he was met with the sight of seifuku that was about to burst open due to Mu Dong’s huge pectoral muscles.

Bai Qi was stunned for three seconds before he said, “Oh, not bad! You’re larger than an A cup!”

And now…

Bai Qi couldn’t help but touch his chest.

It was flat. He lacked strong pectoral muscles to fill out the shape of the dress.

The makeup artist couldn’t hold back her laughter. “What are you up to?”

Bai Qi paused for a moment before asking, “Will I be wearing silicon boobs later on?”

The makeup artist was taken aback as she replied, “Oh, you have done your research, haha.”

‘He even knows about silicon boobs?’

‘Huh? Oh no, you’re mistaken. That wasn’t my intention. I can reassure you, this isn’t a kink that Xi-laoshi and I have in private!’ Bai Qi thought.

“Mn, have you heard of cosplay?” he asked.

“Ah, yes!” The makeup artist finally realized where he was coming from and regained composure. Her expression finally returned to normal.

Bai Qi let out a sigh of relief. ‘Thank goodness I didn’t ruin Xi-laoshi’s reputation.’

The makeup artist bent down to pick up a brush. “You won’t be using fake silicone implants. You’ll understand later on. Ban Yuren, played by Xi-laoshi, did all this on purpose. He wants everyone to know that Li Yu is a man dressed in women’s clothing.”

‘Oh… that’s kinda messed up.’

Bai Qi looked down and continued to read through the script.

He had to admit that the script was indeed very interesting. The female protagonist, Li Die, is someone who had to endure more than an average person could bear and who had her hands covered in blood. It’s interesting to see things from her point of view as she unravels the secrets behind what really happened and figures out the mastermind behind all this. She carries a lot of weight on her shoulders and she also cares for the common people.

The antagonist, Ban Yuren, on the other hand… has quite an interesting name. Ban Yuren started out as a tool to put someone on the throne. However, his gentlemanly demeanor was merely a facade and he was a wicked man to the core. Not only was he an enemy of the heroine, he also ended up killing the emperor. He had no concern over his parents, his brothers in combat, or the ministers in court. He was a disloyal and cunning man who disregarded filial piety.

Him and the heroine are both powerful and strong characters. Their personalities make a stark contrast against each other.

Li Yu…

Was the weakest one out of the entire family.

Bai Qi continued to flip through the abstract.

… The bravest thing this character had done was to stab Ban Yuren in his waist. Plus, later on, when he was held hostage and used to threaten his sister, he killed himself.

Bai Qi rubbed his hands and thought, ‘This is exciting.’

‘This is a whole new experience for me!’

This opportunity was no doubt more meaningful than the offer to appear in Bu Xiao’s MV…

“Creek.” Just then, the door opened and Xi Chengyun passed him a cup of coffee. “Want some?”

Bai Qi nodded, turned around, and accepted the drink.

Xi Chengyun instantly paused in his steps when he took a better look at Bai Qi’s attire.

Bai Qi’s facial features took the back seat this time round.

Instead, the layers of red wrapped around him caught Xi Chengyun’s eyes. He looked like a newly bloomed flower, delicate and tender. The look in his amber eyes were particularly gentle, like an innocent young lord.

He looked sweet and glorious and he truly fitted the character very well.

He could surely pass as the sole sparkle of light in Li Die’s and Ban Yanren’s life.

Bai Qi looked up at him.

He was handsome, and instantly, Xi Chengyun felt an even harder tug at his heart. Xi Chengyun gently batted his eyes and slowly placed the cup in the palm of his hands.

No wonder Ban Yuren was pictured to constantly long to “harvest” Li Yu.

Bai Qi took a sip of coffee. “It tastes very milky…”

“Mn, I purposely added a little more milk,” Xi Chengyun replied and stared at him fixedly.

The makeup room fell into pin drop silence.

The makeup artist’s breathing became shallower.

Her ears also became a darker shade of red.

‘Oh, Xi-laoshi and Bai Qi… are a real couple…’

She’s seen a few too many fake couples, so this pairing was refreshing to look at.

“Almost done, just allow me to set your makeup,” she said softly.

“Mn,” Xi Chengyun replied while he took the empty cup from Bai Qi’s hands and placed it aside. He then pulled a piece of tissue and wiped the corners of Bai Qi’s lips till it was all clean.

If Bai Qi wasn’t willing to act in a movie, Xi Chengyun had also contemplated appearing in a TV series instead. After all, he’s received plenty of invites asking him to make a cameo appearance.

Nevertheless, such a script may prove difficult towards him…
