Lin Ziran deliberately approached to annoy Jiang Xuan. How could Lu Xiaodong, who was so tactless and forced to lick Jiang Xuan’s boots, possibly win Jiang Xuan’s favor? This kid is just an idiot.

Jiang Xuan frowned and looked away. He felt that he might have thought too much tonight… This kid still looked so ungrateful.

But since the person was already here, he wouldn’t chase him away. He wasn’t someone who didn’t have that much manners.

“Send Lu Xiaodong back first.” Jiang Xuan told the driver calmly.

“Okay, Mr. Jiang.” said the driver.

Lin Ziran leaned back happily, yawned, and looked out the window absentmindedly. He could finally go home and sleep!

An hour later, the car stopped outside a high-end residential area.

The driver said: “Master Lu, we’re here.”

Lin Ziran came back to his senses and said to the driver with a smile: “Thank you!”

He was about to get off the car happily, but suddenly remembered that Jiang Xuan was still there, so he turned around and said to him: “Thank you, Xuan Ge, I’m leaving now!”

This is the real owner. He almost thanked the wrong person just now.

Jiang Xuan glanced at him again, and happened to meet the boy’s clear and bright eyes. His smile was so bright that even such a tragic makeup couldn’t cover it. After saying thank you, he turned around and left happily.

After a while, Jiang Xuan shook his head and laughed.

………………

Although the Lu family cannot be compared with the Jiang family, they are still very wealthy and live in a high-end apartment of more than 200 square meters.

At this time, Parents Lu were resting, and Lin Ziran tiptoed back to his room.

His bedroom has an attached bathroom.

Lin Ziran couldn’t wait to clean himself up. He really couldn’t stand the eye-catching makeup, and his face was sticky and uncomfortable after a day.

He washed for a long time and finally cleaned himself up. He looked in the mirror and felt much better.

Although his gray hair was still quite eye-catching, he was at least a clean and handsome boy. Lin Ziran only remembered the character setting at this moment. Lu Xiaodong is only 20 years old and still a college student. He was a true person of the same age as him!

Although they are both 20 years old, their lives are completely different.

When he was 20, he lived in the dormitory every day and led an ordinary college student life.

But Lu Xiaodong never lived on campus, skipped classes every day, ate, drank, whored and gambled, was uneducated and unskilled, and never took college seriously at all…

Is this the willfulness of having a throne to inherit in the family?

Lin Ziran shook his head.

A good kid turned himself into cannon fodder.

………………

Lin Ziran slept until he woke up naturally. The next day, he got up and went to the living room, where he finally saw Lu Xiaodong’s parents.

Lu Xiaodong’s father, Lu Maofeng, was a slightly overweight middle-aged man with an ordinary and kind appearance. However, he looked at Lin Ziran with a cold gaze. He glanced at him casually and then looked away, continuing to watch the TV news without asking him where he went or what he did last night.

Lin Ziran was a little uneasy at first, not knowing how to get along with Lu Xiaodong’s parents, but Lu Maofeng didn’t ask him at all. Then he thought, this might not be the first time Lu Xiaodong has acted like this, and it seems that his father has gotten used to it and doesn’t bother to care anymore…

Feng Wan came out of the kitchen. She was in her forties, but her face looked haggard and old. She didn’t have the elegance that a lady of her age should have, and it looked like her life wasn’t going as she wished.

She frowned and glanced at Lin Ziran, saying: “Did you go out again last night?”

This is Lu Xiaodong’s mother, who seems to be stricter than Lu Maofeng. Lin Ziran is unsure of Feng Wan’s attitude and nods cautiously.

Feng Wan frowned even more tightly.

Lin Ziran suddenly became a little nervous. Was she going to lose her temper? But Feng Wan just retracted her gaze and went back into the kitchen, as if it was good enough to be able to say a word to him.

Lin Ziran: “……?”

He was worried all morning, afraid of facing his parents’ scolding, but nothing happened?

【Lin Ziran: The atmosphere in this family seems weird

【System: Where? 】

【Lin Ziran: If I go out to fool around in the middle of the night and come back in the early morning, and dress like a shamate, my parents will probably beat me up.】

【System: So, they don’t beat you or scold you, and you feel weird and uncomfortable?】

【Lin Ziran: What you said makes me feel like I want to be beaten and scolded…】

Although he was relieved that he didn’t have to be beaten or scolded, from Lu Xiaodong’s perspective, is such a family really normal?

No wonder this child grew up crooked.

It is true that the father is to blame for the son’s poor education. It is because of his parents’ indulgence that Lu Xiaodong became like this.

But it was not the kind of indulgence that was doting on him, because Lin Ziran could not see care and love in their eyes, only inexpressible indifference and disappointment. Although Lu Xiaodong was not a likable child, this attitude of his parents did not make people feel any warmth. They did not care about you, so they were too lazy to discipline you, beat you, and scold you. They raised you but let you fend for yourself…

This is the feeling that Lu Maofeng and Feng Wan gave Lin Ziran.

Lin Ziran was beginning to suspect that Lu Xiaodong was not their biological son.

Never mind, it’s none of his business.

In the script, Lu Xiaodong’s parents are just cannon fodder among cannon fodders with only a few lines.

The first time they appeared was when Jiang Xuan was dissatisfied with Lu Xiaodong’s harassment of Ning Bai, and he arrogantly asked Lu Maofeng to discipline his son. Lu Maofeng nodded and said that he would definitely discipline the brat, then he beat Lu Xiaodong severely and cut off his pocket money.

The second time they appeared was when Lu Xiaodong tried to rape Ning Bai out of love and hatred, but Jiang Xuan had his legs broken. Jiang Xuan even had someone throw Lu Xiaodong with a broken leg back to the Lu family, saying that he never wanted to see Lu Xiaodong again, otherwise he would not just break his legs next time. Lu Maofeng was afraid of provoking Jiang Xuan’s anger, and Feng Wan was also very disgusted and disappointed with Lu Xiaodong’s behavior. The two of them cruelly sent Lu Xiaodong, whose injuries had not yet healed, out of the country.

Then Lu Xiaodong and the Lu family were completely wiped out in this story.

It was clearly a complete love story, but Lu Xiaodong only attended the first half. The reason why Lin Ziran knew Lu Xiaodong’s fate was because in the script, Jiang Xuan and Ning Bai finally got married, and many of their friends came to the wedding. Others told them a joke: that ungrateful Lu Xiaodong died of drug abuse abroad.

Everyone clapped their hands, laughed, and congratulated them on finally getting married.

What a beautiful love story.

But no one cares about Lu Xiaodong who died outside.

Lin Ziran sighed.

Soon Feng Wan prepared breakfast and brought it out.

Lin Ziran ate his meal in silence. He was at a loss for words in this family atmosphere. Besides, it was not part of the main storyline, so he simply said nothing.

Maybe it was designed like this intentionally because it is an insignificant NPC, so that a lot of unnecessary communication can be avoided.

Lin Ziran guessed absentmindedly…

Lu Maofeng went out after the meal. He usually leaves early and comes back late.

Feng Wan went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Lin Ziran hesitated for a moment, and when he found that no one was paying attention to him, he returned to his room in dejection.

Now he has time to look around here.

Unlike Lu Xiaodong’s Shamate outfit, his room looks quite normal.

Clean walls, neat bed, neat desk, clean and tidy, quilt clean and soft, looks like a boy who loves cleanliness. God knows why he made himself look like this. Lu Xiaodong’s room is very different from Lu Xiaodong’s dressing…

It was not until Lin Ziran opened the closet and looked at the clothes that filled the closet that he regained the horrified feeling he had when he looked in the mirror yesterday.

Thinking that he would have to wear such clothes in the future, Lin Ziran looked disgusted, but as an excellent actor, he would try his best to overcome such a small difficulty!

Then Lin Ziran came to the bathroom. The counter was full of cosmetics, all of which were big brands, but Lu Xiaodong’s makeup taste was really not good.

Because he was not familiar with the place, Lin Ziran opened every cabinet drawer and looked through them.

Then he accidentally found a black leather-covered notebook in the bottom corner of the bathroom cabinet. He opened it with confusion and showed a surprised and bewildered expression. Did this kid still have the habit of writing a diary?

And carefully hid it in the bathroom…

Oh my god…

So… cute?

Lin Ziran was speechless holding the diary. Who would have thought that the Shamate Lu Xiaodong actually had such a delicate and sensitive heart?

But since Lu Xiaodong kept a diary, it must be a prop provided by the game. Fortunately, he looked for it carefully, otherwise he might have missed it.

It’s not reliable to just rely on the script!

This is Lin Ziran’s bloody lesson…

A diary is a good way to understand a person, which helps one to fit into the role to be played, so Lin Ziran opened the diary and started reading.

The time of the diary is not continuous.

It seems that Lu Xiaodong wrote occasionally when he remembered, not every day. Although there are not many entries, the time span is very long, and the earliest one is five years ago.

[My mother scolded me for not being in the top 100 in the midterm exam. Although my father didn’t say anything, I could tell he was disappointed in me. But I tried very hard, maybe I’m not smart enough… ]

Lin Ziran frowned, but continued to read on.

Then he read it all day long…

The boy’s growth trajectory and psychological changes were presented in just a few lines of words…

Lin Ziran’s expression became more and more serene as he read, and he turned to the last few pages.

[I dyed my hair silver-gray today, but I don’t think it looks good. My dad got angry when he saw it and scolded me, saying I was becoming more and more outrageous… Actually, I did it on purpose. They don’t seem to pay much attention to me except when they are dissatisfied with me. Of course, maybe it’s because I have never satisfied them and I am not good enough. ]

[I went to get some earrings pierced, but my mother didn’t like it and said I looked weird. She asked me to take them off, but I insisted on keeping them, so that maybe she would look at me more.]

[Xuan Ge is really amazing. How come he is so amazing and capable? Even my father has to be respectful when he sees him. I want to follow him, maybe I can become as amazing as him…]

[The weather is bad today, it is raining. A week has passed, and my parents have stopped caring about me. They are used to me being like this. I am disobedient, ignorant, and incompetent.]

Lin Ziran frowned even more tightly.

[When I walk down the street like this, people will look at me twice, and it seems like I am not bad…]

[Even if I can’t become powerful and am a waste, if I have a good relationship with Xuan Ge, maybe he will be nicer to my father, and this can be considered as helping the family, right? Will my father praise me if I do that?]

[I failed the test today, and my dad scolded me again. Maybe I am really useless. I don’t like studying. Anyway, no matter how hard I study, I can’t achieve the goals they require. I always disappoint them.]

[If that’s the case, why bother trying?]

[I like to go out and party with friends. As long as I have money, they will flatter me and coax me. I like the feeling of being valued. ]

Lin Ziran snapped the diary shut.

There are a lot of things in it, but there is nothing positive and sunny, it is all self-denial.

Because he was not capable enough and not smart enough, his parents were not satisfied and disappointed with him. He tried hard but still could not do well. He faced the disappointed eyes again and again and finally chose to give up. Then he found that his parents would blame him when he did something wrong, so he started to do wrong things to attract his parents’ attention, but it only made his parents more disappointed in him.

This is an endless vicious cycle.

And in Lin Ziran’s view, everything Lu Xiaodong did was just a temporary solution.

In fact, he was originally a good kid, but he was denied too much, and finally lost his confidence and forgot himself. He wanted to live the way his parents expected, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t do it…

He is like a fool, just giving in his own way.

But in everyone’s eyes, he is just a useless guy.

No one cares, no one needs it.

In the end, he became the person everyone hated and completely degenerated, but gradually came to think that this was his life.

There is something hateful about pitiful people.

Hateful people actually have their pitiful side.

Thinking about Lu Xiaodong’s final outcome, Jiang Xuan’s coercion was one of the reasons why he was abandoned completely, but his parents probably never really thought about protecting him, so they sent him abroad and left him alone…

And such a child would not survive outside.

Maybe there was too much negative energy in the diary, Lin Ziran’s mood was somewhat affected after reading it.

He looked in the mirror, and his gray hair was not so glaring anymore. He was just a child who wanted attention… But no one saw that he lacked love in his heart, and only saw that his appearance was disgusting.

No one thought of helping him… The people around him just pushed him deeper into the abyss again and again without realizing it.

But who would pay attention to such a cannon fodder?

Lin Ziran opened the light curtain and took a look, then collected his thoughts.

Tonight is the plot where Lu Xiaodong and Ning Bai first meet. Lu Xiaodong will fall in love with Ning Bai at first sight in the bar, and pursue him relentlessly, starting his journey as a cannon fodder.

Regardless, the mission still needs to be done.

Lin Ziran started to put on makeup.

An hour later, Lin Ziran threw the brush in anger!

【System: I will show you some makeup videos, would you like to learn from them? 】

【Lin Ziran:……】


System played the video for him, and even slowed it down, paused it, and patiently guided him. In the end, the system was exhausted, and just hated itself for not doing it by itself.

【Lin Ziran: My eyes have learned it, but my hands can’t. 】

【System:……】

【Lin Ziran: Why would a grown man wear makeup? ? ?】

Lin Ziran threw the eyeliner again in anger. Who knew that putting on makeup was so difficult? And he had to do a killer smoky makeup. This was simply embarrassing for him! Is this something a novice can do?

Forget it, Lu Xiaodong doesn’t care about his image anyway. Lin Ziran used his fingers to apply the eyeshadow and immediately had two dark circles under his eyes. Well, it seems that it is not much different from yesterday… That’s it!

Lin Ziran randomly picked out a set of clothes from the closet and went out in a hurry.

………………

Lin Ziran read the plot instructions on the screen while taking a taxi to the bar.

Considering that he would definitely drink today, he did not drive out.

He is a good young man who abides by the law!

This bar is a gay bar. Lu Xiaodong is actually quite famous here. Many people greeted him when he entered. He seems to be a regular customer… Lin Ziran couldn’t help but fall into deep thought. With Lu Xiaodong’s appearance and small body, is he really a 1? Or are there too many 0s so even a 1 like him is wanted?

Well, it doesn’t matter whether it’s 0 or 1, it won’t work in the end anyway.

His main purpose was to disgust Ning Bai and give Jiang Xuan a chance to be a hero and save the beauty.

“Eh, isn’t this Master Lu? Master Lu, come and sit here.” A green-haired man happily waved at Lin Ziran.

Lin Ziran looked at the table, green hair, yellow hair, red hair, purple hair…

Wow, birds of a feather flock together! It’s obvious that this is from the same series as Lu Xiaodong. It seems that this is Lu Xiaodong’s usual team.

Lin Ziran sat in the colorful world, blending in with the crowd without any sense of disobedience. If there was anything wrong, it would be that his makeup today was rather bad.

Fortunately, no one cares about this.

Everyone was laughing and joking, poured a glass of wine for Lin Ziran, and started chatting.

Lin Ziran didn’t have much in common with them, so he just absentmindedly took a sip from his wine glass.

It seems that Lu Xiaodong was brought up by this group of bad friends.

Although this kind of person is not to Lin Ziran’s liking and he usually doesn’t make friends like this, he understands Lu Xiaodong’s mentality, because this way he can get a sense of existence and a feeling of being cared for by others. Even if it is bought with money, it is real. He wants to get warmth, and it doesn’t matter where or how he gets it.

Lin Ziran had a strange analogy in his mind. Lu Xiaodong’s situation was similar to those empty-nesters who were deceived into buying health products.

It just so happens that someone gave them what they needed…

Not everyone can live so clearly.

Or maybe they actually understand it in their hearts, but they don’t want to admit that they understand it, so they just go on in a muddle.

Lu Xiaodong knew he was not smart, so he just lived stupidly.

It is a solution.

The color-haired men next to him were still urging him to drink, but Lin Ziran didn’t plan to drink too much, as that would affect his performance later. These people usually took advantage of Lu Xiaodong, so they flattered him everywhere, so naturally they didn’t dare to force him to drink.

Lin Ziran smiled generously: “Drink as much as you like, I’ll pay for today.”

As expected, once these words were spoken, everyone started to flatter him and praised him to the sky. Lin Ziran narrowed his eyes. Perhaps this was what Lu Xiaodong enjoyed.

He has nothing but a little money.

It feels good to be flattered.

Two hours passed quickly, and Lin Ziran felt a little sleepy from sitting there. He didn’t know when Ning Bai would come, and he was about to fall asleep…

So boring.

【Lin Ziran: I’m so sleepy. 】

【System: Hold on a little longer. 】

Lin Ziran pinched his arm hard and finally sobered up a little. At this time, he saw the red-haired man who had just gone to the bathroom come back. The red-haired man picked up his pants, looked excited, and said to them in an exaggerated expression: “I just came back from peeing and saw a top-notch beauty over at the bar. It was so damn beautiful!”

Lin Ziran’s ears perked up. As a player who had experienced two worlds, he was very alert to this kind of person who suddenly appeared with an above-average appearance. This person might be his target tonight!

Lin Ziran came over and showed an interested look: “How beautiful is it?”

The red-haired man was obviously not well-educated, and he kept saying: “Looks good, looks really-damn good-looking, fuck, a hundred times better-looking than the stars on TV! In short, very good-looking!”

Lin Ziran thought, is this really that exaggerated?

That must be Ning Bai.

He immediately stood up, with a lecherous look on his face: “Take me to see it.”

Seeing that Lin Ziran was going to take action, the red-haired man was immediately excited and said: “Okay, I will go with Master Lu.”

Lin Ziran didn’t walk a few steps before he saw the good-looking man.

He sat alone at the bar. Even in such a chaotic place with bright lights and wine, the man was still dressed meticulously and rigorously. The collar of his shirt was buttoned up to the top button. The well-fitting suit wrapped around his slender and powerful body, clean and tidy as if it had been ironed. Even the leather shoes on his feet were clean without a trace of dust.

His face was that kind of exquisite beauty, but not feminine, every facial feature was just right, slightly narrow eyes, pupils were light amber, thin lips with a beautiful curve, but when he was not smiling, he looked a little cold.

If one were to describe his temperament in one word, it would be abstinence and indifference.

And every detail from head to toe seemed to be carefully calculated. A strange thought popped up in Lin Ziran’s mind: If this guy is not a perfectionist, he must be a person with high obsessive-compulsive disorder.

He and Lu Xiaodong are like completely different contrast groups.

【Lin Ziran: Is this Ning Bai? 】

【System: Yes. 】

Lin Ziran touched his chin. Although Ning Bai and Jiang Xuan have different temperaments and styles, they are both handsome in their own ways. One is a domineering CEO and the other is an elite lawyer. They look quite compatible.

The plot begins.

Lin Ziran walked up and sat next to Ning Bai.

He lifted the gray hair on his forehead, gave Ning Bai a frivolous smile, and said: “Handsome, shall I buy you a drink?”

Ning Bai didn’t even look back, and sipped his wine. His fingers were slender and white, and even his nails were very clean and meticulously groomed. Against the transparent wine glass, he looked inexplicably good-looking and dazzling…

Lin Ziran quickly retracted his gaze. He would not be easily misled by beauty and patiently waited for Ning Bai’s reply.

As a result, after waiting for several minutes, Ning Bai acted as if he didn’t hear anything and didn’t even give him a look!

Oho, you actually ignored me!

Lin Ziran angrily slammed the table, and directly put his head in front of Ning Bai, looking directly into his eyes, staring at him with a blatant gaze: “Hey, I’m talking to you.”

Ning Bai finally raised his eyelashes and glanced at Lin Ziran.

Because the distance was very close, Lin Ziran could even see his face clearly in the other person’s amber pupils, but even so… he could not see any emotional fluctuations in Ning Bai. There was no emotion in those eyes, and he looked at him as if he was looking at an object.

Lin Ziran suddenly got a little nervous, swallowed his saliva, and continued to talk with courage: “I invited you to drink to give you face, what’s your attitude?”

Ning Bai looked at him calmly for a while, then opened his thin lips and uttered two words: “Get out of the way.”

So cold!

But what did Lu Xiaodong rely on to chase people? He relied on persistence and tactlessness! If he could be let off with just one sentence, why would he need to go through all the trouble afterwards?

Whether it was love at first sight or lust at first sight, he and Ning Bai had a falling out.

Lin Ziran moved forward recklessly, reaching out to hug Ning Bai’s neck, but just as he stretched out his hand, Ning Bai grabbed his wrist. The man looked over with a cold and sharp gaze, and finally a hint of displeasure appeared in his eyes. He suddenly let go of Lin Ziran’s hand, put down the wine glass, and stood up to leave.

This was the impatience to leave.

Lin Ziran pondered the script for a while, smiled, and followed Ning Bai out happily.

The cold wind outside made his mind clearer.

He was just chasing someone, not a real street thug, so Lin Ziran came over and said with a smile: “Handsome, can you give me your contact information? Let’s get to know each other?”

Ning Bai remained unmoved and continued to move forward.

Lin Ziran kept nagging him: “Why are you ignoring me? I’m talking to you…”

Ning Bai ignored him.

Lin Ziran was mentally prepared, so he didn’t lose heart. Instead, he became more and more courageous. Let me show you how persistent I am in chasing people! Ning Bai walked all the way, and he followed all the way, shoving and shoveling without stopping.

“I really like you, please give me a chance to pursue you.”

“What do you do, handsome? What’s your name?”

“My name is Lu Xiaodong.”

“Where do you work? I’ll pick you up in my Lamborghini next time.”

“Why is this handsome so cold? More friends mean more opportunities.”

“Shall I treat you to a midnight snack?”

“Or add WeChat?”

“Hey, hey?”

Lin Ziran was so dry-mouthed that he said all the frivolous words he could think of, but Ning Bai didn’t even glance at him. He walked away while complaining to the system in his mind.

【Lin Ziran: I admire his determination…】If it were him, he probably wouldn’t be able to hold back…

【System: Please keep up the good work, player. 】

Lin Ziran racked his brains to think of something to say at first, but later he became more casual. Anyway, Lu Xiaodong could never catch up with Ning Bai. It would be strange for a social elite like him to be interested in a Shamate punk like Lu Xiaodong.

Fortunately, Ning Bai is a man who can keep his composure. If a woman met such a scoundrel, she might shout “sexual harassment”.

Phew.

Lin Ziran wanted to laugh so hard that he bumped into the man’s back without noticing, and then he realized that Ning Bai had suddenly stopped.

Is he finally willing to pay attention to him?

Lin Ziran looked at him with shining eyes and said shamelessly: “Shall we go for a midnight snack?”

Ning Bai looked at the young man in the night, whose eyes were burning brightly looking at him. His dark eye sockets looked a bit like some weird stage makeup, the kind for playing a hungry ghost, with messy gray hair and tattered and strange clothes…

He pursed his lips slightly and said calmly: “I’m home.”

Lin Ziran was stunned for a moment, then he showed a happy expression and said, “So you live here. Well, if you don’t want to go out with me, I can go to your house and sit for a while!”

After these words came out, Ning Bai’s eyes turned cold, and a trace of impatience appeared in his light amber pupils. He said slowly: “You may not understand what I mean.”

He lowered his eyes and stared at Lin Ziran, his voice cold and warning: “You should leave.”

Leave? How is that possible?

Lin Ziran didn’t take it seriously at all, and gave Ning Bai a frivolous smile: “Master Lu, I, like you, but I won’t leave, what can you do to me?”

Ning Bai looked at him for a few seconds and suddenly took out his cell phone.

Lin Ziran showed a puzzled look, not knowing what he was going to do. Could it be that he was really going to add himself on WeChat?

Ning Bai looked at him with a cold gaze, and raised the corner of his lips: “Hello, is this 110?”

Lin Ziran: “……?”
