Chapter 5: Chapter 5

Skirt fluttering, her hair was coiled up, revealing her elegant fair neck. The woman wore 5 cm. high heels, making her taller than the other person by half a head. She gently lifted up a strand of hair from the petite and gentle woman in from of her as she revealed a sweet smile, but her eyes are cold to the bones, able to freeze someone at the spot.

She lowered her head. She leaned towards the other person’s ears and said, “—what do you think?”

Du Yu Shu’s eyes were cold as ice. Zhang Yi’s body shook. That sweet face, and finally exposed a trace of menace.

Du Yu Shu laughed like a hunter who just caught their prey.

“—Cut!” Director Zhang’s face was warm, compared to his earlier gloomier self, it was better, “Looks good, next set.”

Du Yu Shu sighed in relief. Her back was wet with cold sweat. Her face is also pale, but under the make-up, it is not very noticeable. Her stomach felt very uncomfortable and her hands and feet are ice cold. She fell onto the bed, unable to withstand the pain.

Wang Jie quickly pulls her up and put a hot water bottle on her stomach without any explanation. She then put a cup of hot water which is wrapped in a wool in Du Yu Shu’s hand. Du Yu Shu absent-mindedly plays with it before saying, “Wang Jie, I want to change my name.”

Wang Jie touched Du Yu Shu’s forehead and said seriously, “.....no fever ah.”

Du Yu Shu glared at her, “I think I should change my name to Zi Teng. It is suitable for me.”

Wang Jie smile wryly at her, “Stomachache (Du Zi Teng)*? Little ancestor, stop tossing around alright? Do you want to have a stomachache for your entire life? Carrying this name will be torture!”

T/N: It is a play on words. Du Zi means stomach and Teng mean hurt. Hence, Du Zi Teng is a homophone for stomachache which she jokes about changing her name to.

Du Yu Shu looks at her expressionlessly, “......Wang Jie, has anyone told you that you are very hateful?”

“Yes,” Wang Jie coolly said, “You say it every now and then.”

Du Yu Shu turned over to look at Wang Jie but instead saw a pair of long legs. She coughs blood in her heart and heard a mocking hum.

Du Yu Shu doesn’t have to lift her head to know it’s Ye Jing An.

It is only him who would mock her like this.

She looked up and saw Ye Jing An’s mocking smile. Du Yu Shu sneered.

“Didn’t know that Emperor Ye has this good habit of eavesdropping,” Du Yu Shu coldly laughed.

“Oh,” Ye Jing An casually smiled, “Need it?”

Du Yu Shu, “....oh.”

“I was just passing by,” Ye Jing An smiled mockingly, “Leading Actress Du don’t need to be this sensitive.”

Du Yu Shu, “....hehe.”

Every time he sneered it is like a curse, the ancients don’t even dare to bully me.

“Leading Actress Du,” Ye Jing An said lightly, “Have you heard that behind every hehe is a group of alpacas.

T/N: Okay, this took me a while to understand. Hehe (呵呵) is a cold sneer. “Alpaca” is commonly known as “grass mud horse” (草泥馬). Grass mud horse is a substitute word for the curse word 肏你媽. So basically, whenever we saw oh (呵呵), we are cursing inside. That is what I’m guessing.

In her heart, Du Yu Shu thought that a fool will also know that and coldly say, “Don’t know”

“It doesn’t matter if you didn’t know,” Ye Jing An said friendlily, “It’s good now that you know.”

“Actually, I have been thinking, in the end, where will that group of flying alpacas go? Du Yu Shu is a countenance of a flower and has a face like a moon. If you were to be stepped on by an alpaca....tut.” Ye Jing An chuckled and didn’t stride forward.

Du Yu Shu looks at the backdrop of Ye Jing An, his whole back is written with the words “scum”!

Douchebag!

Du Yu Shu cursed, today she went to ask Ye Jing An to do a good filming,. She was definitely not conscious at that time.

Who is willing to act with him ah?!

When Wang Jie saw Du Yu Shu’s face, she cried inside. At this time, her phone sounded. She unlocks her phone and looks at the text message.

After reading the message, Wang Jie felt like she has been petrified.

—Is it too late to reconsider letting Du Yu Shu join the show?

The cast for《Vertical and Horizontal Alliance》had been selected a month ago, five people have already been set down. Originally, the sixth member was going to be an actress who plays a small role of a vivacious female in an opera but after receiving Wang Jie’s message....

The sixth member was set very quickly.

In fact, the 《Vertical and Horizontal Alliance》production team discussed it for more than an hour and had decided that the final conclusion outweighs the disadvantages. In the end, they set Du Yu Shu as the sixth member.

Orange TV’s new reality show for the next quarter isn’t just talked about by rich people. The movie king, Yan Xi, who almost quit the entertainment industry, also received an invitation. This movie king upholds his business in a consistent manner, except for talk shows entirely, he would reject other show offers.

The person that the program group wants the most is Du Yu Shu, followed by Ye Jing An. Du Yu Shu became popular in the entertainment circle very fast. She hardly participates in variety shows and seldom posts on Weibo. Her personal life is very private and her background is strong, never lacking any resources. Her starting point was the second female lead in Zhang Rui’s 《The Dream of Turbulent Times》. In eight years, she established herself in the entertainment world. During those eight years, the number of variety shows that she participated could be counted with her two hands, half of them are talk shows.

As you can imagine, the mysterious Du Yu Shu participating in a reality show for the first time attracted a number of fans and audience members!

Ye Jing An’s status does not lose to Du Yu Shu, he had participated in a certain variety show and had guest-starred in a few reality shows. So compared to Ye Jing An, many are looking forward to seeing Du Yu Shu in 《Vertical and Horizontal Alliance》instead.

Now that the person had agreed, there is no reason to push that person out ah!

Not to mention, Du Yu Shu and Ye Jing An’s topic is not something that can be discussed in a day or two, those two people participating in a reality show together caught many eyes.

Also, for the sake of their reputation, those two people won’t go too overboard.....

Regardless of how the production crew considered, in short, after receiving their reply, Wang Jie wants Du Yu Shu to quit!

“What is it?” Du Yu Shu asked weakly, after seeing Wang Jie’s troubled eyes.

Wang Jie saw Du Yu Shu’s current state and doesn’t want to tell her this news. After thinking for a while, Du Yu Shu is still weak at the moment but is very scary when angered. Rather than waiting for her to get better....

Wang Jie shuddered before cheerfully laughing, “I’m going to tell you something, but you can’t get too excited.”

Du Yu Shu looks at her indifferently, “Speak.”

Wang Jie decisively said, “《Vertical and Horizontal Alliance》just sent some news that there is a total of six permanent members, including you, as well as Ye Jing An.”

Du Yu Shu, “.......hehe.”

She said that she seems to forget something, so it was this thing......

Yesterday she wanted to participate in the same show as Ye Jing An, her brain must have been filled with water!

That douchebag!

Wang Jie carefully watch Du Yu Shu’s changing expression, “Yu Shu?”

Du Yu Shu’s face was void of any expression, “Hehe, this program is really interesting.”

Wang Jie, “....” She felt that the Yu Shu right now is very scary QAQ!

Du Yu Shu’s lips blatantly lifted, her eyes cold, “This program’s production crew is very interesting ah. Everyone in the entertainment world knows that Ye Jing An and I don’t get along and yet dared to invite us both. It’s really quite interesting ah!”

Hearing her artist’s cold words, Wang Jie couldn’t find anything to say.

This program is indeed too interesting!

They invited two artists who would tear each other apart in a glance to participate in the same show and isn’t afraid that it would turn into a bloodbath in a few minutes.

This program really has a big heart.

“......” Wang Jie stayed silent for a moment before miserably asking, “Yu Shu, can you promise me something?”

“Speak.”

Wang Jie looked earnestly at Du Yu Shu, “Do not fight with Ye Jing An.”

“You think too much,” Du Yu Shu rubs her stomach and weakly says, “I am just a weak little girl, how can I go up against Ye Jing An?”

Wang Jie: “......” I do not believe this sentence, hehe.

Do you earnestly think that the number of times you fought with Ye Jing An were little?

“I am a civilized man,” Du Yu Shu deadpan, “I’ll just move my mouth not my hand, do not worry.”

Wang Jie, “....hehe.”

Du Yu Shu looks expressionlessly at Wang Jie, “Alright, I will beat him up.”

Wang Jie changed the topic, “Are you still in pain? What do you want to eat for lunch?”

“Not even finish talking and you already change the topic, so you are this type of Wang Jie.” Du Yu Shu gazes at her.

Wang Jie stood up, unperturbed, “I’ll go get you another hot water bottle.”

If she continues to stay there, she will hit her artist!

“Ai......” A trace of mockery entered her ears. Du Yu Shu turned around and saw Ye Jing An.

Du Yu Shu lifted the corners of her lips into a smile, “Emperor Ye, this is your third time passing by me, do you have a bad sense of direction....”

Du Yu Shu looks at Ye Jing An meaningfully. He lightly said, “I was looking for you.”

Du Yu Shu, “.....”

Ye Jing An looked at Du Yu Shu pointedly, “But looking at it now, it seems that it doesn’t matter.”

Du Yu Shu, “......” Get lost!

.“Someone asked me to tell you something but I couldn’t remember what it is,” Ye Jing An smiled, “Leading Actress Du, don’t worry, I just merely heard something that made me unhappy, I’ll remember it in a while.”

Du Yu Shu, “......” Get lost already!

Du Yu Shu took a deep breath and smiled at Wei Meng, who is standing at Ye Jing An’s side, “Wei Meng, it must be hard on you.”

Wei Meng, “.....QAQ!” Little ancestor, don’t get me involved in your arguments ah!

“To have to follow a defective artist, it must be exhausting.” Du Yu Shu said sincerely. Wei Meng felt cold sweat behind his back as Du Yu Shu continue saying, “Do you have any interest in jumping?”
