After Going Viral for Exorcism, I Was Kissed Senseless by the Top-Tier Ghost King! - Chapter 13

By this time, He Yanzhou had already reached Bai Qingxu and Meng Ze. Seeing Bai Qingxu offer up his seat, his expression turned dark and unreadable, though his mood clearly did not improve.

Seeing that Bai Qingxu was about to leave, Meng Ze felt a twinge of disappointment. After all, he could not continue to gossip. However, seeing that it was to offer a seat to the movie star He Yanzhou, he also followed suit, flattering him with a smile: “The Movie Star can sit wherever he likes! Come, have a seat!”

As he spoke, Meng Ze patted the spot where Bai Qingxu had just been sitting.

In Meng Ze’s eyes, He Yanzhou was a massive mountain of gold. Being able to interact with him was, of course, the best thing that could happen.

However, He Yanzhou merely glanced sideways at Meng Ze, and the surrounding air grew even colder.

Meng Ze felt confused and instinctively slowed his movements, watching He Yanzhou cautiously.

After a long pause, He Yanzhou finally spoke, pulling Meng Ze up with a cold, mirthless smile.

“You are too kind, but I will not stand on ceremony. I think this seat of yours is quite good; may I sit here?”

As soon as he finished speaking, He Yanzhou plopped down into Meng Ze’s seat. In that same instant, he casually pressed down on Bai Qingxu, forcing him to sit beside him.

Meng Ze: “…”

Movie Star, you do not seem to be asking; you are informing!

He had not even agreed yet!!!

Bai Qingxu was completely bewildered throughout the entire interaction, right until the person next to him had changed.

[Ahhh, what is going on? Why are Movie Star He and Bai Qingxu sitting together?!]

[Wuwu, the Zhou-Du-Meng-Ze ship has sailed off a cliff! Zhou-Zhou is not going for Brother Meng; Bai Qingxu, you are dead! You are breaking up my ship!]

[Holy crap! A scene of jealousy!!!]

[I told you, there is no way our Brother Meng is the bottom! It must be two tops fighting for one bottom!]

[Am I dreaming? It looks like my Zhou-Zhou is jealous?]

[This is definitely scripted! Is the production team trying to promote that idiot Bai Qingxu???]

[New ship! Top-tier movie star He Yanzhou x obscure, dramatic petty actor Bai Qingxu. The “Light Boat Moving Slowly” (Qingzhou Xuxu) ship is a safe investment; everyone is welcome!]

[What kind of cult ship is this?! I do not agree!!!]

The live stream chat went wild.

At the data monitor, Xie Ye silently took note of “Qingzhou Xuxu.” It seemed the audience had a strong reaction to this pairing; he should encourage more of this.

Whether the reputation was good or bad did not matter; the most important thing was traffic.

Bai Qingxu finally regained his senses from the confusion and noticed that He Yanzhou, sitting next to him, was staring at him intensely.

“Um… do you know me?”

Bai Qingxu was no fool; he could feel that this man treated him differently.

“I do not. Are you very famous?”

He Yanzhou sneered, abandoning even the veneer of politeness he had shown earlier.

Feeling the hostility, Bai Qingxu silently scooted a little further away.

He had initially thought He Yanzhou might know the original owner of his body, or perhaps they were even friends, but it seemed he had overthought it.

Could the reason He Yanzhou treats me differently be because I am particularly annoying? Then why sit with me? Is it just out of bizarre curiosity?

Bai Qingxu could not figure it out.

Seeing Bai Qingxu pull away slightly, He Yanzhou seemed a bit stifled, but he said nothing, turning his gaze elsewhere. He truly appeared to be looking at Bai Qingxu with disdain.

“Sorry, sorry, I am late!”

A voice came from the front of the bus; it was Ruan Wennan.

Fine beads of sweat clung to Ruan Wennan’s fair face, and his panting appearance made him look somewhat pitiable.

However, no audience members pitied him. Netizens’ tolerance for the entertainment industry was not as high as one might imagine, especially toward obscure actors; refer to how they treated Bai Qingxu.

[He is the only one who was late, how could it possibly have anything to do with our Zhou-Zhou? Hmph.]

[I hate people who are late; it delays the show’s schedule.]

[Everyone had to wait for him alone; how could he have the nerve?]

Ruan Wennan had already anticipated that this lateness would invite verbal abuse, and he felt quite aggrieved.

In fact, he would not have been late. He had seen He Yanzhou on the road and wanted to arrive with him to leech off his popularity, hoping that if he could link his name with He Yanzhou, he would become famous!

To his surprise, He Yanzhou’s pace was so fast that he arrived right on time without breaking a sweat, and he, who had been trailing behind, could not keep up! Instead of gaining traffic, he only invited criticism!

He looked at He Yanzhou with a sour expression, only to find that He Yanzhou was actually sitting with Bai Qingxu.

???

Why?!

Why does that trash Bai Qingxu get to sit with He Yanzhou?!

Ruan Wennan was even more annoyed, but he could not act out in front of the cameras. He could only feign pitiable innocence, while internally cursing Bai Qingxu to the high heavens.

After all, the movie star he had exhausted all his efforts to cling to was now sitting so easily next to that obscure actor, Bai Qingxu!

Xie Ye did not look kindly upon those who did not follow the rules, but he did not say much, only coldly telling Ruan Wennan to find a seat.

Ruan Wennan bit back his anger and sat at the edge of the bus, glaring at Bai Qingxu with resentment.

Bai Qingxu noticed the gaze and looked at Ruan Wennan with some confusion.

Is that little idol practicing his glaring expression so hard that his eyelids are twitching? Why is he looking at me with such a distorted expression? Should I tell the director?

However, the director did not give Bai Qingxu the chance. Once everyone was seated, the bus slowly pulled away, driving toward the legendary Ghost Villa…
