Chapter 851: Chapter 892: I’m Not Playing the Male Lead Anymore! (2)
"It’s all the same, anyway!"
Huo Feng saw Yong Mu hesitating and knew that the reason this guy could drag on his feelings like this was definitely related to his personality!
They’ve known each other for so many years, liked each other for so many years...
Logically speaking, he should have won the beauty’s heart by now, right?
But there’s always so much to consider...
Serves him right to be single at this age, serves him right to have no girlfriend!
Men with low emotional intelligence deserve to be single!
Such men make their girlfriends miserable when dating!
Huo Feng casually thought, "Anyway, if you want to continue the relationship, whether it’s friendship or love, you have to be shameless. You have to keep being shameless, keep contributing, keep making your presence known! Then, find the moment when the girl is weak and seize the opportunity! By then, she’ll be moved by you!"
"Ah..."
Yong Mu hesitated and really didn’t have the courage to carry out Huo Feng’s idea.
"That’s just what I mean..."
Seeing him in such a hesitant state, Huo Feng didn’t force him and just said, "If you dare to do it, listen to me and do it! If you don’t dare, then I can’t help you."
"Alright... I get it..."
Yong Mu nodded reluctantly, seemingly understanding Huo Feng’s point.
But whether he could really carry it out, Yong Mu had no idea.
He needed to think it over...
At 10:30 PM, the lights went out in the dormitory.
Huo Feng placed the little orange cat on the soft pad at the corner of the bed, pulled the blanket over himself, and continued chatting comfortably while hugging his phone.
He was in the Musical Club’s micro-group, scrolling through the 99+ chat records he hadn’t paid attention to all day.
In the group, the video shot last weekend had already been roughly edited and released.
It was just a basic rhythm edit, allowing everyone in the club to watch it together.
After editing, Huo Feng and the actors here had to do the post-recording. Their club classroom had a simple recording studio, which was small but fully equipped.
The video needed further delicate adjustments, and subtitles had to be added.
All in all, it seemed like just a short video shoot, but the pre- and post-production work was very complicated.
Huo Feng watched the edited 12-minute video once.
To fit the video limit on Douyin, it was specially edited into three 4-minute segments, which could be considered short yet engaging, a relatively high-quality work.
This time, Huo Feng didn’t really like the video content.
So, watching the 12-minute video made him stomach-churningly nauseous...
Because he and You Xinran acted as a couple...
Every time Huo Feng was dazzled by his handsome face, the camera would switch to You Xinran’s face, instantly making Huo Feng feel sick!
Coupled with those extremely cheesy lines...
When performing, surrounded by classmates, Huo Feng just pretended to be an ordinary actor, saying the lines didn’t feel anything.
But after seeing the final product, with only himself and You Xinran in the picture...
It truly felt like a martial arts world, where Huo Feng and You Xinran were in love.
Thinking about this, Huo Feng felt nauseous!
It was truly nauseating!
When the plot progressed to the second part, where Huo Feng and You Xinran hid in the busy district, living a simple life of male plowing and female weaving.
That warm picture...
That eye contact...
That harmonious feeling of holding hands and shopping for groceries on the street...
Made Huo Feng feel sick!
By the end, Huo Feng was not only nauseated by You Xinran, he even felt sick looking at himself!
As an audience, Huo Feng couldn’t help but think: Is this male lead blind? How could he get intimate and loving with such an ugly girl? Could even die for such an ugly girl? He must be blind!
After watching the 12-minute video, Huo Feng silently decided: This content can’t be shown to Pu Sangzhi. If she sees it, she’ll definitely feel like vomiting!
At this moment, Huo Feng was somewhat relieved; fortunately, Pu Sangzhi was someone who never played Douyin videos.
This way, even if he posted it on Douyin, Pu Sangzhi wouldn’t see this video.
She could avoid this nauseating experience!
With that thought, Huo Feng turned to the classmate who served as the group’s screenwriter, sending him a private message: "Hey, Lin Cong, any thoughts on the idea I mentioned to you yesterday?"
Lin Cong, the Musical Club’s ace screenwriter, was a mild-mannered junior.
Upon receiving Huo Feng’s WeChat, Lin Cong edited and re-edited his messages thrice before replying: "Currently no ideas. I’m still working on another script..."
Huo Feng immediately replied: "What new script? This one’s just finished, and we’re already preparing for a new one?"
Lin Cong responded to Huo Feng: "I’m preparing ahead. You should get ready too; there’s a ’Phantom of the Opera’ stage performance before the semester ends. Don’t mess up..."
Huo Feng replied: "I won’t play the male lead like Mu, so there’s plenty of time. By the way, in your new script, I’m not the male lead again, am I? Please don’t base it on my personality anymore! I can’t even reject it then!"
Lin Cong: "No..."
Shortly thereafter, Lin Cong sent another message: "But it’s the second male lead."
Huo Feng: "Second male lead is fine, fewer scenes. Just a few random shots would be good."
Lin Cong: "Oh..."
Huo Feng: "Thank you for this, truly grateful from the heart."
Lin Cong: "Oh..."
Huo Feng: "Alright, let’s leave it there. Give some thought to that ’From All Sides’ script I mentioned. Bye bye!"
Lin Cong: "Goodbye."
After sending the WeChat...
The phone screen on Lin Cong’s side let out a slight sigh.
Lin Cong really had no idea what Huo Feng and You Xinran were trying to do?
Each person had their own ideas.
The key was, both had decent standing in the club, and Lin Cong just couldn’t provoke either! He had to accommodate both ends!
That night, Huo Feng slept soundly, thanks to his good mood.
Meanwhile, Yong Mu experienced insomnia throughout the night.
Tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep, his thoughts chaotic!
Yong Mu was indeed torn up over Huo Feng’s proposal.
...
On the next day, unexpectedly, Mu Mu started tagging along with Pu Sangzhi.
She suddenly inserted herself between Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng, like a bright light bulb, also like a third wheel.
With her arrival, Pu Sangzhi practically clung to her all the time, while Huo Feng stood with his hands on his hips, calmly watching the two girls who had already forgotten about him...
The three of them ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner together, ran 3000 meters and 1500 meters on the track together.
After finishing the run, Pu Sangzhi and Mu Mu returned to the dormitory to shower, while Huo Feng went back to his own dormitory to shower.
Following that, during the evening self-study period, Mu Mu didn’t accompany Pu Sangzhi anymore.
Only then did Huo Feng have a complete evening with his personal Pu Sangzhi, which was no easy feat.
All day, Yong Mu was nowhere to be seen.
Nor did he follow Huo Feng’s advice to intrude on their trio.
Truly disappointing for Huo Feng!
Huo Feng felt he shouldn’t have pinned his hopes on that wimpy guy Yong Mu!
If he couldn’t even be a bit shameless, how could he think of chasing a girlfriend? Simply too naive and unrealistic!
Huo Feng was profoundly disappointed in him.
That night, the evening study session with Pu Sangzhi went on as usual.
They were in the library, working on their respective subject assignments.
During idle moments, they chatted and laughed occasionally...
The atmosphere between them remained great.
Tonight, Huo Feng didn’t receive any orders for programming software, and there were no business deals with Yan Siyuan either, so the free time was just right for doing homework.
Don’t be fooled by how leisurely he seemed, in fact, even in such a relaxed state, he was still making money.
Huo Feng’s Self-Disciplined Life app had started to spread across various campuses.
Students from all over the country who needed this app would join the group, coming to Huo Feng to purchase genuine software.
The app cost 50 yuan, and so far, under the circumstances of small profits but quick sales, Huo Feng had already earned over 2000 yuan with this app.
Huo Feng often paid attention to the messages in the group, caring about the feedback from student users and some suggestions for improvement put forth by students.
Tonight, a familiar face appeared in the group...
Huo Feng privately messaged, after some back-and-forth, only to find out the one who joined was You Xinran.
You Xinran sent him a 50 yuan red envelope via QQ, saying: "Give me a registration code, I’ll try your app."
Huo Feng didn’t rush to accept the money and first asked her: "Are you using an Apple system?"
You Xinran replied: "Yes."
Huo Feng answered back: "Apple system not supported. It’s not available in the Apple store. Currently only serving Android users."
You Xinran: "..."
About 20 minutes later...
You Xinran messaged again: "Now it’s Android system, give me the registration code."
Huo Feng: "..."
