Outrageous Chapter 20

Published at 26th of April 2023 05:28:39 AM

T/N: We're about 1/5 of the way through this novel, so as to give me (and you guys) plenty of time, I'm collecting suggestions on which novel I should translate after this! Please leave your suggestion as a comment ON THIS POST ONLY. More details on the process are at the end of the chapter.

Ying Xi Ze's assistant had already been quietly looking at him chew on the straw of his drink while sitting on the sofa blankly for 30 minutes.

At this moment, Ying Xi Ze's expression was more complicated than the assistant had ever seen.

It could be summed up with a single sentence: He was as calm as an old dog on the outside, but totally panicked internally.

Ying Xi Ze was indeed very panicked.

He even felt like he was crazy for sure, or how else could he have mistaken a perfectly fine lady for a man!

He even told Lu Zhi Wei that he would help her keep her cross-dressing secret.

He even kept calling her Lu ge.

He even got so close to her.

He even took her as a love rival……

“Ha……”

He was too frustrated at himself.

It was a short sound, but it was filled with despair.

His assistant raised his head only to see Ying Xi Ze place his hands over his face, almost as if he didn't dare to see anyone now.

Ying Xi Ze buried his hands in his face as if to escape, his mind repeating everything that had happened recently on loop.

The more he thought about it, the more outrageous he felt.

The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't understand what the hell he was thinking.

Lu Zhi Wei had clearly said she was a girl right from the start.

And her reluctance to enter the male toilet was clear too.

But it was almost like Ying Xi Ze was mentally challenged and unable to see all these signs, believing in his own male intuition and sharp eyes.

—— Utterly useless!

What useless sharp eyes, people who didn't know would probably think he was short-sighted. He could even think a woman was a man.

And what male intuition, it was all useless!

He grabbed at his hair crazily.

The assistant was frightened, hurridly holding down his shoulders: “Bro, bro, bro, calm down, calm down. What's wrong with you, are you too exhausted?”

He suddenly stopped moving and looked at his assistant, looking oddly haggard.

His assistant patted his shoulder in pity: “Ge, you should take a break. You've been filming a lot this year and it's been tough, look how tired you are now.”

Ying Xi Ze had indeed been working very hard this year, stubbornly wanting to prove his excellence to the woman who was far away in another country, wanting to prove he was worthy of being liked. He had totally not cared about his own health.

This attitude had only gotten better after he entered the current production team.

But now, he felt even more tired, because of how awkward it was.

How am I going to face Lu ge?!

How am I going to face Lu jie!!!

…

After eating her breakfast, Lu Zhi Wei carried her bag and left happily.

Inside, it was still stuffed full with yarn and knitting needles.

She didn't have many scenes, so she had plenty of time and she could sit near the filming location to knit while listening to Director Li explain the scenes.

This was a free class by a professional director, what a waste if she didn't take advantage of it.

But today, she was exceptionally anticipating seeing Ying Xi Ze.

Ying Xi Ze who had been fixed.

This kid who had kept calling her ge was finally going to call her jie!

Aside from that, she still had to show some concern for this child's emotional state.

After a night, she didn't know if his mood would have improved.

Lu Zhi Wei followed Wen Yao to the filming location after getting her makeup done.

On the way there, she was in a very good mood.

The truth was, she was an easily appeased person.

As long as she could see the silver lining, she would be happy.

If there was no silver lining, she would find a “good point” so she could make herself happy.

Ying Xi Ze thought she was a man, no worries, at least he didn't overreact.

Ying Xi Ze got fixed, so it was even better; she could finally “resume” her identity as a woman and be herself freely.

And the system hadn't pulled any tricks on her in a while, the air had even become fresher.

The two of them reached the location.

Wen Yao saw she was happy and couldn't help but ask: “Zhi Wei jie, why do you keep smiling?”

Lu Zhi Wei looked at her, her eyes curving into a smile as she reached out a hand to pat Wen Yao's head: “Because I thought of a happy thing.”

“What is it?” Wen Yao continued asking curiously.

Lu Zhi Wei's eyes curved even more as she replied honestly: “We're going to see teacher Ying in a bit, I'm happy.”

This sand sculpture didi, especially a sand sculpture didi who had finally had the bug fixed, was always worth being excited for.

Even if she still had a mission to do.

As she said that, she heard a worker call out to someone behind her: “Wan Ci, you're here.”

Hearing that, Lu Zhi Wei turned around.

Sang Wan Ci was standing two steps away from her, looking at her silently, as if she was sizing her up.

After a moment, Sang Wan Ci's eyebrows furrowed ever-so-slightly, a hint of worry showing in her eyes.

Lu Zhi Wei was mystified, the back of her neck cold.

Then she thought about Sang Wan Ci previously talking about climbing the wall, and her self-preservation instinct immediately kicked in.

She quickly added a line: “Of course, what I'm most happy about today is being able to see our pretty teacher Sang.”

After that, she even added on an incredibly friendly smile.

Right now, she was only missing the action of raising a LED board and fan membership card for Sang Wan Ci to show her support.

She didn't expect Sang Wan Ci's eyebrows to knit together even tighter.

Lu Zhi Wei was shocked: “?”

Did I say something wrong?

She was still questioning herself when Sang Wan Ci suddenly walked closer to her and asked quietly: “Are you free tonight?”

A flawless face suddenly appeared right in front of her eyes, and Lu Zhi Wei was stunned for a moment before nodding and stammering: “I'm, I'm free.”

Sang Wan Ci nodded, her beautiful eyes looking straight at Lu Zhi Wei: “Then wait for me at the hotel, I have something to talk to you about.”

Lu Zhi Wei was completely stunned by her beauty: “…… O-okay.”

And she watched as Sang Wan Ci left.

Looking at Sang Wan Ci's perfect back, she suddenly rubbed her head.

Why was Sang Wan Ci looking for her?

Wen Yao was confused too.

“Zhi Wei jie, what is she looking for you for?”

Lu Zhi Wei tried to think.

She had just said that she was happy to see Ying Xi Ze in front of Sang Wan Ci.

Sang Wan Ci was bothered by her climbing the wall previously.

Then there could only be one possibility.

She rubbed her face hesitantly: “She might want to……

“Remove my fan membership?”

Wen Yao: “???” Please read at jiulian lian . wordpress . com

Lao Wu: 【……】

Who the hell would run to someone else's room to remove their fan membership?

Can your train of thought be any more outrageous???

Lu Zhi Wei was still deep in thought when a voice rang out: “Xi Ze, you're here.”

Her thoughts settling down, she turned to look behind her.

And she saw Ying Xi Ze standing five steps away from her.

The person who was usually cheerful and happy looked incredibly guilty right now.

That look was almost as if he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to bury himself into, bidding farewell forever to the human world.

If he could change a planet to live on, that would be even better.

Lu Zhi Wei suddenly felt bad for him.

Xiao Ying, you have a really tough life as a second male lead.

You're also someone who will be used to dying a social death.

With a heart full of pity for him, she smiled radiantly and warmly at Ying Xi Ze to show her compassion: “Morning, Xiao Ying.”

Sang Wan Ci heard it, turning around to see Lu Zhi Wei smiling happily at Ying Xi Ze.

This expression, this smile, it was all sending her a specific message.

The worry expressed in her furrowed eyebrows deepened again.

It was just as she suspected.

Her beloved fan, Lu Zhi Wei…… had probably already fallen into Ying Xi Ze's love trap.

T/N: So for the suggestions, I'm fine with either completely untranslated or dropped novels, the only rule is that it must be yuri/GL. And of course, it has to be a Chinese novel. Looking forward to seeing all the suggestions!

Edit to add: Yes, multiple suggestions are fine, but keep it to just 3 suggestions please!

I'll pick a few that I like the most or find the most interesting, and then we can all vote. The voting will be done on my Discord server, so make sure you join so you can vote!!!

I've been thinking about how I can do something for my Ko-Fi supporters, since I'm not sure about giving people early access to chapters, and so the voting process is a great way to thank all my supporters. Everybody will have 1 vote, while Ko-Fi supporters will have 1 additional vote for a total of 2! People with the Super Supporter role on the discord (donated >$50 or have held a monthly subscription for over 12 months) will get 2 additional votes for a total of 3.

As we still have around 48 weeks to go at this current pace of release, there's plenty of time for me to collect suggestions. I'll probably stop taking suggestions around chapter 70 so that we have plenty of time to vote as well.
