TYMRHBDES Chapter 146

Chapter 146: The Little Fox Spirit Seduced the Best Actor and Became a Sensation (Part 4)

While changing clothes in the dressing room, Jiang Luoluo had noticed stacks of packaged underwear in the closet drawers.

The square-cut briefs were the style he used to wear.

*If I just cut a hole for my tail, they’d definitely be more comfortable than the ones Pei Yu bought for me,* he thought.

Seeing Pei Yu’s dark, silent gaze, Jiang Luoluo tugged at his sleeve again, his voice softening as he repeated, “Can I, Brother Pei Yu~?”

A blush crept across Pei Yu’s refined, handsome face. He gripped Jiang Luoluo’s wrist, unable to meet those beautiful eyes directly, and said in a hoarse voice, “Later this afternoon. I’ll take Xiao Xi to buy new ones.”

Outside the car, Zhang Hao’s face burned crimson as he clutched his bag and trudged forward, head bowed.

*It’s over! It’s over! It’s over!*

*Everything changed overnight!*

*Our Brother Pei has gone from an aloof, untouchable ice-cold male god to a refined degenerate lusting after forbidden love!*

*I can’t stay in this car anymore!*

*I need to buy earplugs immediately!*

***

Half an hour later, Jiang Luoluo sat in Pei Yu’s private lounge, slowly reviewing the plot progression of this world.

This world revolved around the protagonist’s journey to conquer the entertainment industry.

Zhou Jing, the protagonist, came from humble beginnings. Discovered by a talent scout, he signed with a predatory agency and toiled in obscurity for seven or eight years before finally achieving overnight fame.

Through diligent study and relentless practice, he honed his acting skills and won the Best Actor award at the age of 26. Just when he thought his career path would be smooth sailing, he encountered Pei Yu, the malevolent antagonist.

Pei Yu acted solely on his whims, arrogant and domineering, seizing any resource that caught his eye.

Though both were Best Actor winners, Pei Yu’s family background was extraordinary. He flaunted his wealth in the industry, practically throwing money around for amusement. Investors and directors fawned over him, reserving the best opportunities for his selection. Any scraps that fell to Zhou Jing had already been picked over by Pei Yu, earning him the derisive nickname “Zhou the Scavenger” from Pei Yu’s fans.

Take, for example, Pei Yu’s current film project, the sci-fi thriller *Mutation*. The story follows “Number 5,” an artificial intelligence robot who develops self-awareness. Deceiving its creator, Dr. Chen, Number 5 unites with other robots in a mutated alliance, plotting to exterminate humanity and seize control of Earth. Ultimately, Dr. Chen erases Number 5, ending the rebellion.

The role of “Number 5” was the most compelling, undeniably the protagonist.

The screenwriter had originally intended the part for Zhou Jing, but Pei Yu, seeing its potential, brought his own funding to the project and ousted Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing, also a Best Actor, had to lower his status to play a supporting role as the doctor, enduring a barrage of ridicule from the outside world.

At this point, Jiang Luoluo clicked his tongue.

*What a classic love-hate drama!*

*Could Pei Yu actually fall for Zhou Jing?*

Jiang Luoluo jolted upright from his lounge chair.

Since Zhou Jing was also on set, he decided to go take a look.

The crew was filming.

Jiang Luoluo stood nearby, watching.

Pei Yu, dressed in a cyberpunk-style outfit, his sharp features cold and angular, exuded a rebellious aura against the backdrop of neon pink and blue lights and a dark, cool-toned atmosphere.

He had one man pinned beneath his foot, a mocking curve to his thin lips as he spat out two words:

“Worthless.”

“Cut!”

“Excellent! Absolutely perfect! Teacher Pei, well done! Teacher Zhou, well done! Both of you, great work! Please take a short break!”

The director’s voice boomed through the set, and two assistants rushed onto the stage.

“Teacher Zhou?”

Jiang Luoluo’s eyes widened slightly as he looked at the kneeling figure.

*Zhou Jing?*

The assistants helped the man to his feet. As he raised his head, Jiang Luoluo finally got a clear look at his face.

He had a refined, classically handsome appearance.

Unlike Pei Yu’s outwardly cold and imposing demeanor, this man exuded an understated elegance. His features were delicate, his gaze gentle, and he carried an air of scholarly refinement.

Jiang Luoluo tilted his head, studying him. Zhou Jing noticed the attention and returned his gaze.

The assistant beside Zhou Jing leaned in, whispering, “Jing-ge, that’s the one who came with Pei Yu.”

Hearing Pei Yu’s name, Zhou Jing’s expression shifted slightly, but he still nodded slowly at Jiang Luoluo.

Jiang Luoluo’s lips curved into a smile, about to return the gesture, when a figure blocked his view.

Pei Yu stood before him, his eyes dark and intense. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, pushing his hair back to reveal his smooth, unblemished forehead.

The sweat made his features appear even more defined and striking.

He lowered his voice, looking at the Little Fox Spirit before him. “Who are you looking at, Xiao Xi?”

The Little Fox Spirit pointed in the direction Zhou Jing had left, his smile innocent and childlike. “Zhou Jing.”

Pei Yu frowned slightly and said slowly, “Why not look at me? Am I not handsome enough?”

Watching this scene, Zhang Hao, who was standing nearby with a water cup, clicked his tongue inwardly.

*Our Brother Pei has always looked down on that Zhou Jing.*

*And this Xiao Xi dares to show interest in Zhou Jing right in front of Brother Pei? That’s like pulling teeth from a tiger’s mouth!*

*I wonder how he’ll explain his way out of this.*

The beauty in the bright red sundress curved his eyes, his gaze sparkling with sincerity. “You’re handsome!”

“Zhou Jing is handsome too, but you’re different types, so you’re handsome in different ways!”

Zhang Hao: “!!!”

*Damn it!*

*Brother Pei has met a player!*

Zhou Jing, who was passing by Pei Yu, overheard this and glanced in surprise at the person facing Pei Yu.

Zhou Jing was nearsighted and unaccustomed to wearing contact lenses. From a distance, he had only seen a blurry red figure.

Now that he was closer, he could finally see the person clearly.

The girl’s appearance was breathtaking at first glance.

Her palm-sized face framed misty, almond-shaped eyes with long, thick lashes that curled slightly upward at the corners, giving her an air of delicate charm and allure.

Her petal-like lips were a watery red, with a subtly protruding Cupid’s bow that tempered the seductive quality of her eyes, making her appear even more innocent and youthful.

She wore a fiery red slip dress that seemed to burn against her snow-white skin. The delicate straps revealed the elegant curves of her collarbones.

Before Zhou Jing could fully take in the sight, Pei Yu stepped forward, blocking the girl completely from view.

Pei Yu’s handsome face darkened, his tone hostile. “What are you looking at?”

His possessive stance made it clear he considered the person behind him his property, allowing no one else to even glance at her.

In the past, Zhou Jing would have avoided confronting Pei Yu.

But seeing the small head peeking out from behind Pei Yu’s shoulder, Zhou Jing felt a strange stirring in his heart.

As if something were teasing him, suddenly giving him a surge of courage and sparking unrealistic thoughts.

Zhou Jing met Pei Yu’s gaze directly. “Teacher Pei, is this your assistant?”

He knew perfectly well she wasn’t his assistant, but he needed an excuse to start the conversation.

Seeing his good temper, Jiang Luoluo explained with a gentle smile, “I’m not…”

“She’s my fiancée!” Pei Yu interrupted Zhou Jing, his gaze icy.

The words that escaped his thin lips were chillingly sharp: “Zhou Jing, do you have anything else to say?”

Zhou Jing remained silent, but his assistant exclaimed in shock, “Holy shit!”

Pei Yu, usually so reserved, had secretly gotten engaged?!

Pei Yu didn’t bother lowering his voice, so his words carried far beyond Zhou Jing and his assistant.

Curious glances turned their way, their eyes lingering on the person Pei Yu had pulled behind him, shielding her with his arm.

No wonder Pei Yu was so protective—she was undeniably stunning.

If news of Film Emperor Pei’s engagement spread, it would send shockwaves through the entertainment industry and beyond, shattering countless hearts.

As the crew’s attention shifted toward them, Pei Yu frowned.

Earlier, he had deliberately spoken loudly, wanting others to know.

Now, his feelings were strangely contradictory. He wanted to curl his Little Fox Spirit into a ball and hide her in his arms, safe from prying eyes.

He wanted the world to know, yet he didn’t want anyone to covet her.

Pei Yu suppressed the complex emotions swirling within him. He took a thin, sun-protective jacket from Assistant Zhang and draped it over Jiang Luoluo’s dress, covering his exposed, rounded shoulders.

Despite his inner displeasure, Pei Yu lowered his voice, afraid of startling the person before him.

“Why didn’t you wear the jacket I gave you?”

The Little Fox Spirit pouted, looking somewhat unhappy. “It feels too hot when I wear it…”

Pei Yu lowered his head, pulling Jiang Luoluo into a half-embrace as he coaxed him. “Then how about we go back to the lounge? The air conditioning is strong there, so you won’t feel hot at all…”

Watching Pei Yu lead Jiang Luoluo away with a mix of gentle persuasion and firm insistence, Zhou Jing’s assistant widened his eyes in astonishment.

*This is Pei Yu, the man who looks down on everyone!*

*That soft, coaxing tone…*

*Has Pei Yu been possessed by something?!*

The assistant watched in shock as Pei Yu draped his arm around the petite beauty and led him away with his entourage. Only then did he turn to see Zhou Jing’s thoughtful gaze.

The assistant poked Zhou Jing’s arm, his expression panicked.

“Brother Jing, that look on your face… you haven’t fallen for her, have you?!”

“She’s Pei Yu’s fiancée, Brother Jing! Snap out of it!!”

Zhou Jing withdrew his gaze and said calmly, “Impossible.”

“You know I only like men.”

***

Back in the lounge, Pei Yu took the Little Fox Spirit’s hand and settled him on his lap.

Assistant Zhang Hao handed Pei Yu a strawberry ice cream. Pei Yu took it and brought it to Jiang Luoluo’s lips.

The boy’s rosy mouth parted slightly, and the tip of his crimson tongue peeked out to lick the pointed tip of the ice cream.

This gesture, which could easily be interpreted as suggestive, came across as utterly pure and innocent when performed by him.

Yet, as Pei Yu watched, his gaze deepened.

He moved the ice cream closer to the Little Fox Spirit’s mouth. The boy took a small bite, leaving creamy residue on his lips—dewy and inviting, perfect for a kiss.

Pei Yu’s Adam’s apple bobbed twice. He deliberately pulled the ice cream away, and as expected, the Little Fox Spirit followed, tilting his head.

The boy’s delicate, beautiful face was now turned toward him, his eyes sparkling with curiosity.

Pei Yu suddenly felt an urge to lean in and take a bite himself, just to see if the boy would cry.

But before he could act, two soft, small hands cupped his own.

Jiang Luoluo leaned closer, tilted his head, and took another bite of the ice cream.
