Reborn as a comedic artist

Chapter 58 Helping others helps yourself

Huang Yuxi's meddling brought back that familiar sense of abstraction to Cheng Ming.

He subtly rubbed his shoulder, his gaze sweeping over the distance.

Gu Xiaozheng stood quietly beside the piano.

She wore a white long dress today, which looked rather thin in the wind.

Seeing Cheng Ming unexpectedly respond to Huang Yuxi's hug, a hint of panic flashed in her originally cold eyes.

Gu Xiao subconsciously reached out and straightened her skirt, which had been ruffled by the wind.

Her movements were very unnatural, as if the hug she had just received had made her feel a strange sense of crisis.

When she felt Cheng Ming's gaze directed at her, she quickly turned her head away.

She pretended to tidy up the piano, but her originally fair and delicate earlobes now showed a faint pink tinge, which stood out conspicuously under the gloomy sky.

Cheng Ming raised an eyebrow. This sister was used to having a blank expression, but now she looked quite interesting.

But then I thought about it again and felt relieved.

We've known each other for almost a month now. With his outstanding looks and exceptional talent, if he were just a little serious, what woman could resist his charm?

Now that I've achieved some success, I want to expand and strengthen my business to create even greater achievements.

I have absolutely no interest in making up any of those ridiculous romantic love stories.

Otherwise...!

........

Gu Xiao is thoughtful and knows how to hide her feelings!

But Zhao Yufeng, that simpleton, doesn't have that many tricks up his sleeve.

The woman was still panting heavily after moving her things, and she was carrying a half-empty bottle of mineral water.

But upon seeing the scene just now, his damn competitive spirit instantly erupted.

Huang Yuxi can passively receive rewards, so why can't she be proactive?

And that hug just now, even though it was a misunderstanding, somehow made me feel really uncomfortable.

No, we have to make up for it!

Zhao Yufeng didn't care about anything else. She threw away the water bottle in her hand, pushed off with her feet, and rushed over recklessly.

The way he was acting didn't seem like he was begging for a hug or compensation; it was more like he was charging into battle.

"Cheng Ming, you'd better give me your life...!"

With a sharp cry, an even more explosive impact slammed into Cheng Ming's arms.

Zhao Yufeng saw that Cheng Ming neither dodged nor flinched.

Suddenly he became somewhat reckless, relying on his thick skin and tough flesh, and didn't hold back at all.

"Ugh—!"

Cheng Ming was so choked that he almost rolled his eyes back, feeling as if the air in his chest had been instantly emptied, and his ribs were protesting.

But he did not push Zhao Yufeng away.

Instead, he took a half step back, tightened his core muscles, and with a burst of strength in his arms, lifted the girl up by her knees.

Using this momentum, Cheng Ming spun around a few times to dissipate the force.

The whistling wind rushed past my ears.

Zhao Yufeng works out regularly, and his muscles are truly impressive. He's quite heavy, and when you hold him, he feels substantial and powerful.

It's also thanks to Cheng Ming's amazing physical condition; both his strength and coordination are top-notch.

If it were someone else, they would definitely strain their back, and might even end up falling over on the spot.

The objective was correct this time.

Zhao Yufeng wrapped her legs around Cheng Ming's waist, her arms tightly around his neck, and buried her face in the crook of his neck. That familiar scent made her feel incredibly safe.

But as the pressure on him increased, Cheng Ming felt that his cervical spine was about to break.

He patted Zhao Yufeng's muscular back and said helplessly:

"Alright, alright, that's enough! If you keep tightening it, I'm really going to die...!"

Zhao Yufeng chuckled, raised his head, and his wild eyes were full of smugness.

"See if you dare hug people like that again!"

She then jumped off Cheng Ming, satisfied, landing with a dull thud.

With an air of finally getting what she wanted, she even helped Cheng Ming straighten his disheveled collar, her actions rough yet carrying a hint of barely perceptible tenderness.

Cheng Ming let out a long sigh of relief, feeling as if he had just gone through a life-or-death struggle.

He turned around and saw Lin Yiyi standing to the side.

This adorable little white flower was holding a bass guitar that was bigger than her, standing there quietly.

Watching this scene, her fingers unconsciously plucked at the strings, her eyes somewhat unfocused, and she could only watch silently from the side.

His appearance was so pitiful that it made one's heart ache.

Cheng Ming's heart softened.

This girl is always so heartbreaking.

He walked over and looked at the girl who still hadn't completely snapped out of character.

Those who deserve care should also be cared for; we cannot show favoritism.

He would immediately give her a reassuring head pat.

He ruffled her hair with his large hand, making her already messy hair look even more like a bird's nest.

"You did a great job this time too. Your bass was incredibly steady, giving our 'Shu Music Trilogy' a perfect ending..."

Lin Yiyi blushed with embarrassment at the praise, but she didn't shy away. She enjoyed the warmth on her head and a shallow dimple appeared at the corner of her mouth.

.......

Aside from those like Gu Xiao who are difficult to reward openly, after winning over a few girls, Cheng Ming naturally had to appease a group of men.

With a wave of his hand, he already displayed a considerable air of leadership.

"That's a wrap! Time to reward the troops tonight! Fatty, go find Ronghe Restaurant now, book a private room, and order the highest-class cuisine!"

"Godfather, you can rest assured, everything has been arranged perfectly...!"

Upon hearing about the prospect of enjoying a life of luxury, Wang Shuo's eyes lit up. He immediately pulled out his phone and quickly started searching for contacts.

Looking at his busy godson, Cheng Ming turned to look at his classmate Lao Li, who had nominally attended university for four years but had temporarily stepped in to save the day and was equally dedicated to art.

"Fengzi, could you put in a little extra work and add this part to the school's promotional video? We'll have a good drink tonight!"

"No problem, I'll go right away. Lao Cheng, although your acting skills today were far inferior to your artistic flair last time, your temperament and talent are still undeniably top-notch..."

Li Feng nodded. After all, birds of a feather flock together, and this guy was a bit abstract and talkative, but editing was a piece of cake for him.

After finishing the cleanup work, Cheng Ming looked at the three Shuyin stick-wielders who were still busy, as well as the three extra brothers. Although this group of people were just temporary extras, they worked hard without complaint, were always available, and contributed a lot of effort.

"Qiangzi, all the brothers have worked hard on filming lately. Go back and get some rest, save your stomach for tonight, let's eat and drink well, we won't leave until we're drunk...!"

"Wow! Brother Cheng is so generous!"

"Brother Cheng is awesome!..."

The hormones of youth surged in the air.

However, just as everyone was cheering, that familiar mechanical voice rang out in Cheng Ming's mind once again.
