The King’s Game

Chapter 91 - [Mermaid IX]



Ch91 – [Mermaid IX]


Confirming that the inaudible low hum came from the system, Gu Huai was somewhat surprised. He had never seen such emotional behavior in his own system, and the reaction was unexpectedly and subtly synchronized with Yan Lin.


Was it because he promised not to have much contact with Ao Qi before, but now he had taken the initiative to mention his name, so his system coldly snorted as a reminder ……?


Although a reasonable explanation had been found, Gu Huai still had some strange feelings in his heart. He couldn’t tell what the feeling was, but Gu Huai was somehow a little concerned, “System … System, system?”


System: “….”


It wasn’t willing to make any noise, but regardless of the system, Gu Huai found that his family’s ChuChu obviously cared about this matter.


“I only saw you holding his cell phone. You know Ao Qi, are you friends?” Seeing the man slightly narrowed his eyes, Gu Huai didn’t panic, only looked at him casually as he continued petting his head.


“The relationship between superior and subordinate.” Yan Lin answered truthfully. At the same time, he began to try to pull the youth touching his head into his arms.


This was not a tough act. The pull was very cautious. In order to reassure the other, Gu Huai took the initiative and took a step closer.


Once he was allowed by his treasure, Yan Lin didn’t restrain himself any more. He completely encircled the youth from behind. With no gap between them, Yan Lin’s eyes drooped slightly as he felt the warm temperature of the youth in his arms.


The youth was his lover who had experienced many lives. Yan Lin affirmed this just by his feelings.


“Well … what race are you?” Gu Huai now somewhat understood why Ao Qi was so kind to a stranger for no reason. Perhaps it was because the other discovered that he was not an ordinary human being.


“Squeak, squeak.” In front of Yan Lin, the four black coal balls held by the youth made a sound.


Gu Huai bowed his head and looked at pairs of round dark red eyes. Of course, he understood the thoughts conveyed to him by the Nightmares.


“Be good, I know.” Seeing the black balls were consistently waiting for his praise with bright eyes, Gu Huai couldn’t help smiling and stretched out his hand to touch each one.


Dragon… After praising his family, Gu Huai turned around subconsciously and moved his eyes to Yan Lin’s head. As a dragon, there should be horns on his head, right?


In the original world, it was impossible to come into contact with such magical elements. As a screenwriter, Gu Huai felt a little itchy.


He didn’t realize that he had spoken his mind. When Gu Huai finally reacted, his hand was pulled to the head of the person he faced.


The horn on the head was the place for the dragon to show its cultivation, so the dragon horn was as indestructible as the scales on its body. And it was compared, its hardness was even worse than that of its scales.


However, at this moment, Yan Lin personally took the young man’s hand and put it on the horns that he deliberately revealed. His expression looked very normal and his eyes were slightly lowered.


When his finger touched a hard object without temperature, Gu Huai froze for a moment. After reacting, he touched the horns of the dragon that originally existed in myths and legends with curiosity.


When touching the back side, Gu Huai paused. To make sure it wasn’t an illusion, Gu Huai moved his finger and carefully touched the position he just touched.


“How did this crack come about?” Gu Huai frowned and motioned for the man to lower his head. He carefully examined the side of the back of the dragon horn that he touched, and it was obvious to the naked eye that there was indeed a long and narrow crack, which was located in a relatively hidden position. Without careful examination, it would not be easily found.


Gu Huai did not know what the dragon horn was set in this world, but that part of the dragon’s body should be highly indestructible in theory. How hard was he hit for such a long crack …


He didn’t think the youth would inquire about this matter. Yan Lin took the youth’s hand and then answered in a low voice, “Many years ago, I accidentally did it … it doesn’t matter.”


“Does it hurt?” Gu Huai could not help tightening his eyebrows a little after hearing this.


Yan Lin stayed silent for a second. At this moment, he lowered his head and pecked the young man on his cheek. He squinted slightly because he was not rejected by the young man. “It doesn’t hurt.”


This kind of pain was meaningful. So he wouldn’t think it was painful.


In the main hall, Ao Qi and the others waited in sane place for several hours. At the moment when they thought their boss would not come back for the night, they suddenly saw the familiar figure silently reappear in the hall.


“Boss, you were…” Beaten? When the words came out of his mouth, he couldn’t say anything more. Feng Jue only said half of it and closed his mouth.


Although he seemed completely unharmed, there were still some attack marks left on his clothes, and all the people in the hall immediately had indecisive expressions.


In the current era, the demons had disappeared a long time ago, and there were not many non-human races like them that survived and could continue their spiritual cultivation. The dragon had always been one of the privileged classes in the non-human association. They did not understand which party would dare to attack their dragon leader.


Ao Qi took a look at the Yin attribute energy surrounding him, his eyebrows twitched slightly, he awkwardly didn’t make a sound. This was not an accident, it should be the several Nightmares by the youth’s side, but his boss, why did he let them attack ……?


“Nothing.” Yan Lin ended the topic with a cold voice, returned the mobile phone to its owner and gave the other party the task of ‘rebuilding the east room and configuring a hot spring and swimming pool.’


Ao Qi was stunned, but he understood the reason in less than a second, so he quickly nodded.


“And.” Before returning to his room, Yan Lin looked directly at the subordinate who had just nodded to him and said slowly, “No pursuit.”


Ao Qi: “…”


As soon as the sentence was finished, Yan Lin left the scene. While the rest of the hall sympathized with Ao Qi, it was hard to avoid the disbelief in their hearts.


It seemed that their boss was really ready to seriously raise a fish, but wasn’t this combination a bit strange? ?


“Come on, Er Qi, where are the photos?” As soon as their leader left, the crowd quickly gathered around Ao Qi as they urged him.


“Do you think the boss will leave me a picture? It’s long gone.” Ao Qi stood up and put the mobile phone in front of everyone. The man specially deleted the photos of the youth, and Ao Qi fully realized the seriousness of his boss.


He had found his family and his lover. Gu Huai was now truly settled in the strange world, and he became busy with his work.


The script of the TV series “Thousand Words” was adapted from the novel of the same name. Although the novel was a Mary Sui novel with a very heavy female aura from the eyes of many people, it had to be denied that such a novel always lacked audiences, but it still had a fan base.


The night before the casting list was launched, a small disturbance was also caused by the announcement of the casting on Weibo.


“Uncomfortable?” After getting off the back seat of the car, Gu Huai noticed his manager’s face was not looking very good, so he said with concern, “If you are not feeling well, take a rest at home these days. I can do it alone.”


Gu Huai’s schedule had basically been taken up by filming these days. Today was the first day when the TV series was officially mentioned, and he had just arrived at the filming location.


“Am i so fragile?” Jingcen shook her head, her face was good, not because of a physical reason, just some nonsense gossip.


Since the cast announced the casting of the TV series last night, a related topic had gone all the way to No.9 on Weibo hot search list. The original work was not a particularly popular novel, and it was not easy to have such a discussion reach the top searched list.


Jingcen was quite happy when she saw this hot search at first. After all, it could also add heat to the TV series. The successful participation of her artist in this TV series was probably an opportunity to stand out. However, after Jingcen clicked the search, she was immediately speechless with anger by the microblog she saw.


Under the official casting microblog released by the TV drama crew, the highest number of comments were all those protesting against the casting of the role of’ Jiang Li’.


Luo Xi Xi: “Is the cast too poor to afford a better actor? ? ? My god Jiang Li was so destroyed by you. if Jiang Li’s casting does not change, I will not watch this series even if it kills me. ”


This comment received more than 3,000 likes, and there were more than 100 replies below.


Akan: “Well … I went and searched. Isn’t Jiang Li’s actor pretty good-looking, I think he is very qualified, but your requirements are too high.”


This was one of the comments of more than 100 replies that spoke well of Gu Huai. Shortly after the comment was sent out, it was drowned out by other replies that were enthusiastic about popularity and black history.


Great earth dweller: “Please let Jiang Li off the hook, why do you have to find a person who plays Jiang Li in a way that embarrasses the sky?”! If you want to know how the audition was conducted, do you have the background? ?”


Chirp: “The acting is very grandiose, ok? Come on, let me show you a moving picture.”


Jingcen scrolled all the way down. Most of the comments under the official post targeted her artist, and even his black history. Moreover, not only did they criticize his acting skills, but they were also followed by others who criticized the youth’s character, saying that the other had oppressed the newcomers, and did not respect their predecessors, lied to deceive fans, etc.


However, what made Jingcen angrier was that some people said that her artist had a gold backer and relied on hidden rules to get the role of “Jiang Li”. This basin of dirty water made her want to hit people.


While other personal microblogs with the # 1000-words casting # tags were basically all aimed at Gu Huai. Most people turned to the microblog with moving pictures. After finishing the microblog, Jingcen had been angry since last night.


As the youth was still in a critical period of possible termination, the company would not expend effort to help with public relations. Jingcen glanced at the youth who was looking down at the mobile phone and hesitated. “If you see anything on Weibo, don’t care too much anyway, don’t be affected by emotion. Now is the most important time for you to do a good job.”


If the youth went to micro blogs, he would certainly see those derogatory remarks, and there were many estimates of private swearing. She couldn’t hide it from him. Jingcen thought it would be better to prepare the youth first. It would be better if the other didn’t go to see it after hearing what she said.


After listening to the agent’s words, Gu Huai pondered briefly and could guess the situation roughly. However, Gu Huai did not show any depression, but smiled and nodded to his agent to express his understanding.


Actors really relied on their acting skills to prove themselves. It was also true that this aspect of the original body was very bad. Gu Huai would not escape from this so-called black history.


Gu Huai walked into the shooting site. He came early. Some staff members were not yet in place and some scenes were being added. While he was still free, Gu Huai opened his phone and his fingers moved one by one to look at those black microblogs.


The number of fans on his microblog number had just reached 100,000. Some of the 100,000 fans were zombie fans, which was bought by his agent so that his microblog did not look too small. The remaining fans were basically anti fans and real fans.


It also included passers-by fans. Gu Huai saw several little angels with the same nickname under many microblogs that defended him, and insisted on how good he was under fierce fire. This was really die hard fans.


“Thank you. See you in March.” Gu Huai typed on his phone and finally posted on his microblog.


Thank you, of course, was for the few real fans. I’ll see you in March because the TV series “Thousand Words” was expected to take about half a year for filming to be released, that was, next March.


The black spots were darker, but similarly, his true fans were able to stand firm.


In many cases, Gu Huai inevitably saw another group of passers-by. People who were blackened or just followed the trend. After the TV series was shown, they all felt a dull pain in their faces.


In particular, it was now said that “Jiang Li” killed the fans of the original novel without changing actors, and then he personally showed others what a slap was by taking practical actions. And he was the kind of person who beat himself and seemed to be very happy.
