T/N: Hi everyone welcome! The way this site works is that any Chinese terms you may or may not know are underlined, and when you click them, it takes you to the bottom where there's an explanation. If you click on the phrase again, it will take you back up to the paragraph you were at. It's something I'm trying, so if you prefer me to just put the explanation below the paragraph, let me know please! Happy reading!
“Xiao Xi, is Xiao Xi okay?”
An unfamiliar voice rang in Yuan Xi’s ears, and the next moment Yuan Xi felt himself being wrapped in a soft blanket, and his body, which was cold from the water, began to slowly warm up.
“Miss Qi was just speaking nonsense, Xiao Xi, why did you take it seriously? Er Shao naturally had a plan when he brought you back. Don’t care about what Miss Qi said. You and her are not the same.”
There was an extra towel on Yuan Xi’s head.
Yuan Xi listened to the other person rambling beside him in confusion. Who was Miss Qi and who was Er Shao? Didn’t he accidentally fall into the water after trying to escape from the men his boss hired to beat him up?
Then, who were Miss Qi and Er Shao?
Yuan Xi’s mind was still a little sluggish from just getting out of the water, but he knew that his current situation was not very good. So Yuan Xi did not speak, but continued to listen to the aunt next to him.
Seeing Yuan Xi was so well behaved, the nanny couldn’t help but soften her heart.
After Yuan Xi was born, Aunt Zhang was the one who always took care of him. Aunt Zhang clearly knew what Yuan Xi’s temperament was like, and also knew the reason Er Shao brought him to his family’s house. But because Er Shao didn’t explain it clearly to Yuan Xi, Yuan Xi misunderstood Er Shao.
Aunt Zhang thought of this then looked at Yuan Xi with a kinder expression, saying openly, “Xiao Xi, Er Shao does not feel that way about you. Miss Qi Yunrou is Er Shao’s girlfriend. There are other reasons for Er Shao to bring you here.”
Yuan Xi’s mind, which was still confused, instantly became clear when he heard the name Qi Yunrou.
Yuan Xi was a young 18th tier actor. Because he refused a higher up executive, he offended the company’s top management and was buried in the snow.
In order to make money and eat, he could only work part-time by himself. Unexpectedly, when he was working part-time, he accidentally became popular on the internet, and the industry began to see his value again. However, because of his lack of fame, those who came looking for him only had small scripts. One of these scripts was adapted from a novel. The original novel was very well liked. Although Yuan Xi didn’t understand why, its popularity was quite high. At the time, it was a very rare opportunity for Yuan Xi.
The agent’s request to Yuan Xi was that he must get a role in this script. For this reason, his agent asked Yuan Xi to read the original novel once and the script three times.
And the female protagonist of that novel was Qi Yunrou. The male protagonist was Fu Yushen, and because he was the second child his parents had, he was called Er Shao.
There was indeed a cannon fodder called “Yuan Xi” in the novel. His original plan was to fight for the role of “Yuan Xi”. For this reason, he deliberately studied the role of Yuan Xi, and this “Yuan Xi” felt strange. He was puzzled by “Yuan Xi’s” experience and ending.
No matter how strange and incomprehensible, it couldn’t be denied that the final ending of this “Yuan Xi” was too tragic.
Misunderstood by the male protagonist, he was framed when the female protagonist claimed he was making black material about her. Faced with the crying face of the female protagonist, the male protagonist furiously blinded and disabled Yuan Xi. In addition, he was thrown abroad to fend for himself.
However, it didn’t end there. The plane flying abroad crashed and Yuan Xi died without a burial.
Yuan Xi hugged his poor self. Now that he had become “Yuan Xi”, didn’t that mean he would be blinded and disabled in the end?
Thinking of this, Yuan Xi felt bad all over. It was already bad enough to travel to an unfamiliar world, what was even more terrifying was that he knew his own pitiful ending in advance.
Aunt Zhang continued to talk, and when she stopped talking, she realized Yuan Xi looked stunned as if he was frightened by what happened just now.
Aunt Zhang stopped her mouth that wanted to continue talking, reached out and touched Yuan Xi’s forehead. With a distressed expression, she said “Yuan Xi, go take a hot bath, and Aunt Zhang will cook you a bowl of ginger soup. You were just drenched in cold water, so don’t get sick.”
The sudden temperature on his forehead made Yuan Xi recover. Tightening the blanket around his body, Yuan Xi gave a cute smile: “Okay Aunt Zhang.”
The cold wind blew again, and Yuan Xi couldn’t help shivering. After following Aunt Zhang back to the house, he was a little dazed when he saw Aunt Zhang entering the kitchen.
Just now, Yuanxi discovered that he had no idea where the original owner lived!
In the novel, it was only written that “Yuan Xi” lived in the main villa of the Fu family, but it did not mention which room he lived in at all!
Fortunately, the angel Aunt Zhang came out of the kitchen very quickly. Seeing Yuan Xi standing in a confused state, she immediately became overwhelmed with maternal love and pulled Yuan Xi upstairs. “Xiao Xi, Aunt Zhang knew about this for a while. I can’t accept it, but Er Shao really doesn’t feel that way about you. Listen to Aunt Zhang’s words, don’t continue to obsess over this, okay?
Yuan Xi followed obediently behind Aunt Zhang. After hearing her words, his skin under the blanket immediately got goosebumps.
“Okay Aunt Zhang, I won’t.” On the surface, he was well behaved, but Yuan Xi’s heart was already starting to go crazy.
Did he have feelings for Fu Yushen? ?
Could it be that it’s time for a showdown with the heroine? No, no, he had to quickly find a way to protect himself. But before that, he needed to figure out why Fu Yushen brought him back to the main residence of the Fu family, and why he was treated so generously.
After following Aunt Zhang to Yuan Xi’s room, Yuan Xi looked at the furnishings.
The furnishings in this house were very simple, clean, and tidy.
His wet hair was very uncomfortable. Yuan Xi withdrew his eyes, found the bathroom, and walked in.
Soaked in hot water, Yuan Xi couldn’t help but start to recall the novel he had read. There were not many records of “Yuan Xi” in the novel. The main content was the emotional entanglement between Fu Yushen and Qi Yunrou.
Yuan Xi couldn’t help sighing: “I can’t fight back, but I can hide. Whatever Fu Yushen was thinking when he brought me here is irrelevant. I have to save my own life first.”
After taking a hot bath, his body was warm. Downstairs, Aunt Zhang had already cooked the ginger soup. When Yuan Xi came out, she brought a bowl of the warm soup and put it in Yuan Xi’s hand.
“Drink while it’s hot, and don’t catch a cold.”
“Thank you, Aunt Zhang.”
Yuan Xi took the ginger soup and thanked her.
Yuan Xi was holding the ginger soup, and perhaps because he had just taken a hot bath his face was a little flushed. Because Yuan Xi has an obedient appearance, and because of his panic after drowning, he looked even more pitiful.
Looking at Yuan Xi like this, Aunt Zhang couldn’t help but continue: “Xiao Xi, don’t blame Aunt Zhang for nagging. Miss Qi and you are not the same kind of people, and Er Shao has no other intentions for you. He just picked you up. Come here…”
Just as she was about to say the reason, Aunt Zhang stopped. She glanced at Yuan Xi and then continued. “Hey, Xiao Xi, listen to Aunt Zhang’s advice. You don’t need to please Er Shao. What Miss Qi said at that time was just to anger you. Swimming is a matter of urgency. If you don’t know, what’s more, if you do know, Er Shao doesn’t come back very often, so what can you do?
Yuan Xi held the ginger soup, and it was only at this time that he remembered.
Just now, Qi Yunrou should have provoked him with a few words, knowing Fu Yushen was going to take her to the beach for a trip. “Yuan Xi” was jealous, but because of the different environment he grew up in, “Yuan Xi” couldn’t swim. In order to prove himself, he went into the water without any instructor and nearly drowned.
This incident can be regarded as a small turning point. After realizing that he almost drowned, after “Yuan Xi” woke up, his temperament changed greatly. Maybe it was because he was stimulated. After this incident, Yuan Xi began to target Qi Yunrou, which laid the groundwork for the tragedy that followed.
Knowing the current progress, Yuan Xi had an idea in his heart. As long as he could maintain the original character’s temperament and didn’t confront the heroine, he should be able to avoid the previous tragedy. Moreover, Yuan Xi discovered a piece of good news, that is, Fu Yunshen will basically not return to this home.
Fu Yushen not coming back often was a good thing for Yuan Xi. It brought a lot of convenience to the plan of avoiding the protagonists in the future.
After Yuan Xi made up his mind, he held the bowl and nodded very obediently: “I know Aunt Zhang, I won’t do it in the future.”
Seeing Yuan Xi regained his innocent look, Aunt Zhang’s heart was full of relief.
“Okay, okay. Aunt Zhang knows you are a good boy, and she also knows that Er Shao wronged you this time. But Xiao Xi, many things are not as we see them. The reason you were brought to Fu’s house is because of me. It’s inconvenient to say it directly, but I can tell you that this matter is not what you think.”
Yuan Xi looked up at Aunt Zhang in confusion, and became more and more certain in his heart that he was brought to the Fu house, and it was for a really important reason. It was so important that even the heroine didn’t know it.
Yuan Xi looked at the ginger soup in the bowl and became more and more sure that his choice was correct.
He had to run away, and he had to stay away from the protagonists. However, before that he should get some financial compensation for mental damage, otherwise wouldn’t he lose out on a lot of money?
