Quick Transmigration: Male Lead, Please Follow the Script! - Chapter 2

Chapter 2: Love Variety in Progress (2)

The one who drew the number 1 was Shen Qiuyun, an internationally renowned designer. His self-introduction was extremely brief.

“Shen Qiuyun, who do you choose to do the next self-introduction?”

As soon as the director finished speaking, Ren Yi felt that Shen Qiuyun was staring at him.

Was it just his imagination?

In the script, Shen Qiuyun chose the male lead shou, Lin Jiayi. He didn’t choose him.

“Him.”

Shen Qiuyun spoke. This time, his gaze fell squarely on Ren Yi’s face, and he held brief eye contact with Ren Yi for a few seconds.

Wait, what?

Why is it different from the script?

Ren Yi was a bit slow to react, but for now, he had to just deal with it.

“Hello everyone, my name is Ren Yi. I am an artist under Sweet Orange Company. I hope we can get along well in the future.”

Ren Yi gave the others a slight bow. The movement caused his white T-shirt to ride up a bit, revealing a small section of his fair lower back.

Ren Yi felt that everyone in front of him was looking at him at that moment. The gazes of several people felt almost tangible, making them impossible to ignore.

“Ren Yi, you continue by picking the next one.”

After the director spoke, Ren Yi clearly felt the gazes of the others become even more intense.

What are they doing?

Are they afraid of being chosen by him?

Following the script, Ren Yi looked at Nie Zechuan with a slightly timid expression, then turned his gaze in another direction in a “playing hard to get” manner.

He slightly pursed his pink, tender lips, his earlobes turning red as if he were extremely embarrassed.

He reached out, tugged at Nie Zechuan’s sleeve, and murmured, “Can I choose you?”

Yes, Ren Yi, exactly like that—that expression is perfect! I’ll give you full marks for this performance!

On the surface, Ren Yi acted the part of a shy boy, but his inner thoughts had flown a thousand miles away.

Meanwhile, Nie Zechuan’s originally calm mood became turbulent because of Ren Yi’s series of actions.

He didn’t speak; he just stared at Ren Yi like that.

The air suddenly stagnated, and the nearby staff members all broke into a cold sweat for Ren Yi.

Nie Zechuan had a slight obsession with cleanliness and hated being touched by others without warning; this was something everyone in the industry knew.

Look! The expression on the male lead’s face after being touched by something dirty is so scary! He must have started hating me! Great!

Thinking this, Ren Yi smiled even more sweetly, his peach blossom eyes curving up.

“I am Nie Zechuan, an actor.”

Nie Zechuan finally spoke after a long pause. Afterward, he casually chose someone next to him for the self-introduction, which made everyone else breathe a sigh of relief.

“Sisters, I really can’t hold it in! Nie Zechuan can really endure; he has no expression at all.”

“Nie Zechuan, hurry up and respond to your wife! He’s smiling at you, ahhh!”

“Ren Yi, seriously, I’m crying to death. Who wouldn’t love a flirtatious beauty?”

“Ren Yi is so cute. What if such a cute boy has a little scheme?”

“Help! I want to ship them! But Nie Zechuan is so cold, he won’t even interact.”

The remaining few people introduced themselves one after another: Michelin chef He Sichen, actor Lin Jiayi, and e-sports legend Song Yu’an.

Undoubtedly, with the exception of Ren Yi, everyone else on the program possessed a certain level of strength and fame.

“Before everyone arrived, He Sichen was the first to get here. He has prepared a candlelight dinner for everyone tonight. Next, please proceed to the dining room for the meal.”

It’s coming, it’s coming! Another plot point!

As a piece of cannon fodder who wouldn’t die if he didn’t seek death, Ren Yi naturally couldn’t stop causing trouble during the dinner segment.

In a love variety show, the seating during meals is also a major point of focus.

The audience can guess who the guests have more feelings for based on the seats they want to take.

Ren Yi was originally walking behind everyone, but as they walked, the few people in front somehow ended up walking behind him.

He turned his head a bit confusedly to look.

Strange. Their legs are so long, why are they walking so slowly?

Coming to the dining table, he paused his footsteps. According to the script, he had to wait for Nie Zechuan to choose a seat and then immediately sit opposite him.

As it turned out, he waited for a long time, and not a single person sat down first.

No? There are so many seats, hurry up and sit down? Are there nails on the chairs?

There was no other way; since everyone else was staying still, he had to take the initiative.

Ren Yi switched back to his previous shy-little-boy persona and spoke cautiously: “Teacher Nie, where are you sitting? Can I sit opposite you?”

Nie Zechuan glanced at Ren Yi and sat down in a random seat.

Ren Yi hurriedly sat opposite him, then smiled at Nie Zechuan like a little kitten that had successfully stolen a drink of milk.

As soon as Ren Yi sat down, the others followed suit and sat down one after another.

“Sisters, as expected of my wife, capturing the hearts of five men is no problem.”

“Hahaha, were they all waiting for Ren Yi to choose first?”

“Ren Yi, look at the others! Don’t just look at Nie Zechuan!”

“Our Nie Zechuan won the Grand Slam at a young age, he’s worth it!”

“Huh? You guys don’t know Song Yu’an? His team has won several international awards in a row.”

“I’m for Shen Qiuyun. You can’t find such an elegant man anywhere in the world even if you look with a lantern!”

“Look, this whole table was made by our He Sichen. Cooking skills are a man’s best dowry!”

“But Lin Jiayi and Ren Yi are close in age and have similar hobbies. I think this one can be shipped!”

Ren Yi felt that he was definitely the most dedicated cannon fodder in history, following his script’s character persona at all times. For example, right now, he even incorporated some finesse into his eating.

He picked up a dish reservedly, opening his mouth slightly so a bit of his pink tongue could be seen, then put the food into his mouth and chewed delicately, eating both obediently and seriously.

“This chocolate mousse is for you. I only made one portion.”

He Sichen, who was sitting next to Ren Yi, suddenly brought over a portion of chocolate mousse, catching Ren Yi by surprise.

In the novel, this segment only described how affectedly he ate and how disgusted Nie Zechuan was with him; it didn’t mention the actions of the others.

Ah! To think someone actually has a shred of kindness toward him.

No, wait. This dish was given only to him. If he doesn’t share it with the others, won’t it make him look stingy?

So this person’s motive was here! No wonder!

He almost thought He Sichen had fallen for him; what a false alarm.

After Ren Yi finished his meal, he also finished the chocolate mousse under He Sichen’s gaze.

“Is it delicious?”

“It’s delicious! Thank you, Sichen.”

Ren Yi revealed his trademark smile again.

He Sichen noticed that Ren Yi’s cherry-pink lips were stained with a bit of chocolate, and his gaze could no longer be moved away from them.

As if possessed, he gently raised his hand and wiped the chocolate from Ren Yi’s lips.

The soft sensation coming from his thumb made his throat tighten. He pressed against Ren Yi’s lips with a touch that was neither light nor heavy, his mind unknown as to what he was thinking.

And this action caused the four surrounding people to stare with rapt attention.
