Chapter 41

Had you seen N City at 4:00 in the morning?

Whether you had seen it or not, Lin Zixi had seen it anyway.

When he came back to his senses from the shock and confusion of ‘he was really having an affair with his own father’, he was already on his way back to S City alone after running out of the hotel in a trance while Gu Zecheng was asleep.

And he was driving his dad's Cayenne.

In the early hours of the morning, the NS Expressway was not too congested, and Lin Zixi repeatedly sped in panic. So at 6:05, Chen Yunyun, who had gone to sleep late because of chatting with her old friend, was woken up by the doorbell.

"You... what happened to you?" Chen Yunyun was woken up shortly after she fell asleep. She was initially annoyed at having to get up, but when she opened the door and saw the distraught appearance of her most promising and profitable artist, she was so frightened that she was clear-headed all of a sudden.

Lin Zixi silently entered her house, went straight to the sofa in her living room, and collapsed on it.

Chen Yunyun almost went crazy seeing him like this and shot out a succession of questions like a machine gun, "Did you do a hit-and-run while drunk driving or get exposed for taking drugs at a party or fuck a fan and was videotaped by the other party? Or did your ex-girlfriend, whom you played with and then abandoned, come to the door with your illegitimate child?"

Lin Zixi was surprisingly and strangely comforted by her questioning. For a split second, he actually had an absurd notion of ‘his secret affair with his own dad was not too bad’.

His originally panicked heart gradually stabilized, and he waved his hand to assure Chen Yunyun, saying, "Not at all…. I'm just freaking out. Maybe... there’ll be no news."

Agent Chen stared at him in the eyes for a long time and finally breathed a sigh of relief before saying in a confident tone, "There’s a problem between you and Gu Zecheng."

Lin Zixi did not speak for a while, and Chen Yunyun took it as his acquiescence. She sighed and said persuasively, "He wants to break up with you? Oh dear... I’ve told you before, the entertainment circle is much cleaner now. If you work hard and don't think of doing things dishonestly, you also have the opportunity to get the top seat. Why bother to make it like this?"

He and Gu Zecheng clearly only had a one-night stand and were not dating, so how did they break up…. What’s more, it was he himself who ran off after having sex with his biological father. It was fucking good if he was simply dumped by his gold master!

Seeing Lin Zixi's expression, Chen Yunyun suddenly felt enlightened and guessed, "Could it be that Gu Zecheng not only dumped you but is also going to block you?!" 

How could Lin Zixi tell her the truth? So, in order not to let her make a wild guess in an even more melodramatic and outrageous direction, he could only answer vaguely, "It's... something like that, I guess."

Besides, if his dad knew that the ‘son’ whom he had fucked all night was really his own son, Lin Zixi did not know what Gu Zecheng would do.

Chen Yunyun could not help but utter a string of swear words and scolded ‘scumbag’. After that, she pulled out a pack of cigarettes from the living room cabinet and went to smoke on the balcony.

Lin Zixi sat alone in the living room in a daze until he was roused by the sound of his specially set up mobile phone’s ringtone.

He saw the word ‘Gu’ on the screen of his mobile phone, rejected the call, and turned off the phone, completing the actions very naturally and smoothly in just one second.     

If he was just bedded by his dad when he was unconscious, he could say that it was fine. But when he later believed that it was a wet dream, he actually took the initiative to tease and cooperate with the other party and even turned into a mess from pleasure….

Lin Zixi inwardly spat on and cursed himself ‘evil creature’, and now he had neither the face nor the courage to face Gu Zecheng.

Lin Zixi slumped on the sofa in a distraught state for a long time, not expecting a way out in the future. But then Chen Yunyun came back from the balcony with her mobile phone in her hand.

"Director Dao Zhongping is now shooting a war movie. Have you heard of it?" Chen Yunyun said, "The original cast of the third male in his movie was supposed to join the group the day after tomorrow. But then he had a little accident last night and was injured, so he quitted. I still have a little friendship with Director Dao and initially recommended Zhang Wenhao to him to fill the vacancy…. Zhang Wenhao can be regarded as the second brother of our Stars Entertainment, and his outward appearance is more suitable than yours."

Chen Yunyun stopped speaking.

Lin Zixi heard the meaning of his agent's words and immediately sat up straight and listened carefully to what she said.

Chen Yunyun continued, "Now that you have this problem, I’ll recommend you to Director Dao instead. The filming location of this movie is currently abroad, and the third male’s scenes will take about a month to shoot. So you can lie low until the fuss dies down while not delaying entering the next crew. Moreover, this third male is a sniper, and his character is good enough to attract fans. If Gu Zecheng is really going to stretch his hand into the entertainment circle to suppress you, you may be able to make a comeback when the movie is released."

Chen Yunyun sighed and added, "That's all I can plan for you. Next, I'll ask someone to buy you a plane ticket and speed up the visa application. After that, it depends on your own good fortune and great efforts…. You perform well for me! If Director Dao is strict and demanding with you, you just cooperate with him. If there’s any firearm training, you must also be hardworking and endure the hardships. Don't complain!"

How could Lin Zixi complain if he could run 180,000 miles away from Dad Gu? He was now so excited that he wanted to hug Chen Yunyun and recognize her as his older sister.

He immediately guaranteed, "No problem! I’ll definitely and completely obey the director's guidance and arrangements, act well, and not play a big name."

After saying this, he added, "Also, I can use CS/LR4, which is suitable for acting as a sniper."

"CS what?" Chen Yunyun was baffled.

"CS/LR4, the best domestic sniper rifle. I’ve just trained." Lin Zixi said.

TL’s note:

十万八千里 (shí wàn bā qiān lǐ) = one hundred and eight thousand miles. Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, can travel one hundred and eight thousand miles with one somersault. Now the idiom is often used to describe a very far distance or a huge gap/difference.

耍大牌 (shuǎ dà pái) = to play a big name, means that the stars are arrogant and look down on others.
