After Going Viral for Exorcism, I Was Kissed Senseless by the Top-Tier Ghost King! - Chapter 20

Everyone was waiting for Bai Qingxu’s choice, and for a moment, the chat screen was flooded with messages.

Bai Qingxu looked at the two people standing before him and felt a bit puzzled. Were they really that close? Why was it necessary to team up with them?

Even stranger was the way the others were looking at him with such gossipy expressions, as if he were about to make a monumental decision.

Feeling quite helpless, Bai Qingxu clutched his stomach and groaned, “Director, my stomach is not feeling very well. May I go to the restroom?”

Everyone: “…”

Choosing this exact moment to go to the bathroom. He had to be doing it on purpose.

Hearing Bai Qingxu’s words, Meng Ze withdrew his step with a disappointed, melancholy expression.

The program schedule would not wait for anyone, especially since this was a live broadcast where time was precious. They could not wait for Bai Qingxu to finish his business, so the remaining five people had to set off as a team.

He Yanzhou approached Bai Qingxu and whispered two words in a voice only he could hear.

“Be careful.”

Bai Qingxu looked at He Yanzhou in surprise, feeling as though He Yanzhou had seen right through his inner thoughts.

However, receiving care from others was a rare occurrence for Bai Qingxu. He nodded gratefully and left the villa hall.

Seeing that Bai Qingxu had left alone, Ruan Wennan felt a surge of secret joy. He thought that it was finally his turn to shine.

He hurried over to He Yanzhou and put on his most pitiful expression, asking, “Senior He, may I follow you?”

Ruan Wennan was just like his name, cute and obedient. However, his features were not particularly striking. While he looked radiant on stage, he seemed quite ordinary in real life, which was why the audience in the livestream had not really taken to him.

Later, Ruan Wennan realized that livestream camera angles were vastly different from stage ones, so he had secretly applied a new style of makeup in a corner where no one was looking and had practiced his daily expressions repeatedly.

Now, his practice was finally coming in handy.

The pitiful expression he put on, with his eyes slightly reddened, added a delicate touch of idol makeup, instantly making him look endearing.

[Wait, suddenly this little idol’s face does not look stiff anymore! His makeup is also much better!]

[What brand of eyeshadow is that? Please recommend it!]

[Actually, I feel this little omega is quite nice. He is soft and looks very kissable!]

[A peach flavored omega, want to take a bite!]

[Um, can I say this? He does not look like a man.]

Even the strict and cynical netizens felt a bit soft hearted upon seeing Ruan Wennan like this, but He Yanzhou seemed not to notice at all. He simply watched Bai Qingxu leave.

It was only after Bai Qingxu was out of sight that he withdrew his gaze, glanced at Ruan Wennan, and said indifferently, “No.”

It was a very direct rejection, leaving no room for negotiation.

However, Ruan Wennan refused to give up and persistently asked, “Why?”

He Yanzhou seemed somewhat annoyed, frowning slightly as he spoke in an even tone, “You cannot keep up with me.”

Ruan Wennan was stunned, not expecting such an eccentric excuse.

“How could that be, Senior?”

“Before boarding the bus.”

He Yanzhou did not finish his sentence. Instead, he gave Ruan Wennan a warning glance and walked away straight ahead.

Ruan Wennan felt a chill run through him.

The underhanded things he had done had actually been discovered.

He felt both relieved and resentful.

He was relieved that He Yanzhou had not finished his sentence, so the livestream audience did not understand what they were talking about. If the viewers knew he was playing such manipulative tricks, there was no telling how badly he would be scolded.

And he felt resentful because he considered himself no worse than anyone else, yet he could not get He Yanzhou to look at him more than once. Instead, Bai Qingxu, a trashy, soft pushover at his same level, was receiving more of He Yanzhou’s favor.

Why? Just that piece of trash Bai Qingxu. Where exactly was he inferior to him?

Ruan Wennan looked resentfully in the direction Bai Qingxu had departed. Jealousy took root and sprouted in the dark, damp corners of his heart.
