Transmigrated as the Cannon Fodder Abandoned by the Movie Star

he seasonings back in place, folded the small blanket, and put the small stool back in the corner.
Then, he stood quietly at the door and watched Xie Luyu tidy up everything in the kitchen.

Xie Luyu cleaned up the stove and dishes.
Finally, he took off the Peppa Pig apron.

Then, he picked up his coat.
He didn’t wear it, but rather hung it over his shoulder.
He bit a cigarette out of habit and became that confident and unrestrained Xie ge once more.

However, he took the cigarette out of his mouth immediately and held it between his fingers.

“Let’s go.”

Gu Qingchi hummed and quietly followed him upstairs.

Xie Luyu appeared like he was speaking confidently and freely, but he was actually a little nervous.

He had always said whatever he wanted to say and did whatever he wanted to do because he didn’t care what other people thought of him.

Xie Luyu had experienced all kinds of ups and downs that an artist can go through, such as cyberbullying, relationship rumors, and scandals.
The tabloids had always been unusually fond of him.

Any one of these could destroy a celebrity’s acting career.

But Xie Luyu had experienced all of it.

Xie Luyu grew too fast.
He was like a tree that grew above the rest.
He was bound to face harsh winds.
Everyone was waiting for him to lower his head and compromise. 

But Xie Luyu made it through everything.

He didn't stop just stop growing.
He withstood the harsh winds, kept expanding his roots, and grew into a giant, towering tree, creating a never-before-seen phenomenon.

Xie Luyu, who grew up facing all kinds of harsh winds, had a strong heart.

Even when he was a teenager, he was still just as arrogant.

Nervousness, worry, these kinds of hesitant emotions were things he had virtually never experienced before.

There were many people who hated him and many people who liked him.

Xie Luyu didn't care.
It was impossible for everyone to like him.
He was naturally the way he was, and he wouldn’t change himself just because someone didn’t like him.

But in front of Gu Qingchi, he subconsciously wanted to show him his good side.

Xie Luyu wanted to make Gu Qingchi happy and wanted to get along well with him.

He wanted to please him.

Because Gu Qingchi wasn’t someone unimportant.

He was someone who moved his heart.

Was Gu Qingchi good-looking? This was a matter of course.
Xie Luyu had been in this circle for so many years, yet Gu Qingchi had to be the most attractive person he’d met.

In the beginning, Xie Luyu's gaze towards Gu Qingchi was purely out of admiration.

Everyone likes beautiful things, and Xie Luyu was no exception.

There wasn’t a person in the world who didn’t care for beautiful things.

Anyone who “didn’t care” simply hadn’t found something beautiful enough to move them.

The first impression Gu Qingchi left on him in the changing room was really intense.
He was beautiful, truly beautiful.
He was so beautiful that it was unreal.

He had such a sharp-edged beauty.
The moment he opened the changing room door, it struck him head-on, slashing deeply into Xie Luyu's heart, leaving an indelible mark.

Xie Luyu didn't intend to get close at first.
Some things were better off admired from a distance, leaving the memory of it in your heart, slowly reminiscing on it.

Later, while he was in the crowd, he absentmindedly looked up and his heart suddenly skipped two beats.

At that time, Xie Luyu had been blocked by paparazzi for a long time and was asked a bunch of stupid questions.
Xie Luyu had walked in full of anger.

One glance from him had made Xie Luyu calm down.

Then, there was an inexplicable sense of loss.

He was still the same, indifferent.
There was nothing in his eyes.
He looked at Xie Luyu the same way he looked at everybody else.

Xie Luyu meant nothing to him.

Xie Luyu had lived for more than twenty years, and this was the first time he had worried so much about a single person’s opinion.

He still couldn’t quite understand why he was acting so differently than usual.

But he couldn't help but think about him, couldn't help but approach him.

It was no coincidence that Xie Luyu met Gu Qingchi here.

How could there be that many coincidences in the world? All of their fateful encounters had been used up in those two meetings.

Xie Luyu was already lucky enough that God favored him and granted him two encounters.

Everything that happened afterward, Xie Luyu had taken the initiative to take the next step.

Their time together had gone well.

He was still the same.
Silent, minding his own business, being beautiful, ignoring the stares of other people.

He was kind of cool.

Gradually, he saw more and learned more about that person.

He knew that his name was Gu Qingchi.

He knew that, although Gu Qingchi looked lazy and actually was lazy, he would still earnestly complete the tasks that he was given, even if he was reluctant.

He knew that Gu Qingchi liked to be alone, was always very quiet, and had a melancholy temperament.

He knew that Gu Qingchi sometimes showed a fragile expression when he was by himself.

He knew that Gu Qingchi didn't actually like chocolate and would become a little unhappy whenever he tasted something bitter.

He knew that Gu Qingchi looked easy to take care of, but he was actually a picky eater.

Then, he wanted to get closer to him.

It was like drinking poison to quench his thirst, sinking deeper and deeper.

Xie Luyu was actually pretty sharp.
He was an actor and a rather talented actor at that.

He was used to observing others.

Xie Luyu could accurately perceive the hidden meanings expressed by small movements, subconscious actions, and subtle changes in emotions.

In other words, Xie Luyu's ability to read a person’s body language had been sharpened to a terrifying degree.

But Xie Luyu had never used this ability to please anyone or win anyone’s favor.
He disdained doing such a thing, and there was no need to do such a thing.
Only when he was acting would he become serious and use this ability to understand and analyze his character.

He once thought, how far would he have to fall in order to use this skill to please someone else.

Now, he used this ability on Gu Qingchi, trying his best to make him happy.

That’s why he was able to know when Gu Qingchi was happy, when he was unhappy, and the reason for his frown.

Like a pervert.

That’s why he also knew that, Gu Qingchi, he didn't really like Xie Luyu all that much.
