The host and the protagonist had a happy ending again [Quick Transmigration]

Be my boyfriend...

Pei Jinchen felt a "boom" in his ears, and it took him a while to realize that he had been confessed to.

He asked softly, as if unsure, "Boyfriend?"

Xu Ran nodded and explained to him, "I like you a lot, and you like me a lot too, so we need to have a proper relationship, okay?"

The CEO, who was about to become Xu Ran's boyfriend before even understanding what it meant to be a sugar daddy, didn't quite get it. But he always listened to Xu Ran, so he nodded reservedly, though his earlobes were already red and trembling.

Xu Ran mischievously pinched him, then leaned closer, smiling as she called out, "Boyfriend."

Her earlobes turned even redder.

The film "Crossing the Dust" has been the subject of much discussion since its official release date was announced.

Although original scripts don't have the same inherent popularity as adapted IPs, Director Li is a living brand in the film and television industry. Every drama he directs is a masterpiece, and the male and female leads are both popular and powerful actors. This drama has been highly anticipated since filming began.

This time, Xu Ran became the focus of the discussion.

The reason is simple: based on the current official promotion, Xu Ran's role is too prominent.

Not only casual observers, but even Xu Ran's own fans thought he was playing a minor villain, given his acting skills; Director Li wouldn't ruin his reputation.

  

The trailer was released and immediately became a trending topic among fans and netizens.

[I'm totally shipping the male and female leads with their looks!]

Why is it being brought up now when it's not scheduled for next month?!

Director Li truly lives up to his reputation.

……

[Xu Ran's acting this time seems alright?]

The trailer shows the quiet junior brother in the background when the male and female leads are playing around. Although he looks a bit aloof, his gaze towards his senior brothers and sisters is warm and gentle. When his senior sister puts a flower in his hair, he turns his head away and his ears turn red.

The video showed the Demon Lord breaking down and harming himself. His eyes were bloodshot, he gritted his teeth, and gripped the medicine bottle given to him by his senior sister, forcing back his tears. Under the cover of his sleeves, his arms were covered in blood.

So netizens tentatively commented: "[Xu Ran seems to have improved.]"

The trailer was short, and Xu Ran only had these two scenes, but it made me want to cry.

Xu Ran opened his fan group, where messages were scrolling by rapidly. He held his CEO's hand, who was working overtime on the computer, while typing with the other hand.

This time, we can look forward to it.

This time, I'm not afraid of disappointing them, nor am I afraid of causing them to be ridiculed.

Fans already have a biased view of their idols, and the junior brother with Xu Ran's face and the Demon Lord in the trailer both looked miserable, which made the fans feel a little sad.

Remembering that Xu Ran played a villain, a fan cautiously asked: "Ranran, does your character have a good ending?"

Not good; suffering endless torment, courting death, and annihilation...

[No spoilers, you'll find out when you see it.]

After leaving a single sentence, Xu Ran silently turned off her phone.

Pei Jinchen was focused on the screen, but his grip tightened. He turned to look at Xu Ran with a puzzled expression. The young starlet looked gloomy and said, "It's late."

It was already dark.

Pei Jinchen was taken aback, then turned off the computer. It was late... so he decided to go to sleep.

The young starlet played with Pei Jinchen's fingers with satisfaction. The burn scars had faded, and there were still some old wounds on them, but they became insignificant under the other more prominent marks.

I can't go to the office with you tomorrow.

Pei Jinchen asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Ran: "The TV series is about to air, and we'll be doing a live broadcast with the production team tomorrow."

Before the TV series premiered, Director Li arranged for several key actors to connect with the audience via live stream to chat and generate buzz.

After all, the budget for this show was mostly spent on special effects, and promotion relied mainly on manpower.

Pei Jinchen said, "You can broadcast live from my office."

Xu Ran stopped playing with Pei Jinchen's fingers and started broadcasting live from Pei Jinchen's office.

It'll probably be exposed...

He's been quite popular lately, and his past comments on a variety show that he wasn't single have resurfaced, leading to frequent speculation online about his romantic partner.

But no one guessed Pei Jinchen, and no one could guess Pei Jinchen.

Xu Ran then thought that he should give them a hint.

When Shushu called in the morning, Xu Ran was curled up on the sofa in Pei Jinchen's office, scrolling through Weibo.

Shushu exclaimed excitedly, "Ranran, I'm at your doorstep!"

Shushu said she would come to help Xu Ran with her live stream, but Xu Ran was too busy last night and forgot.

Xu Ran nervously tapped her phone: "I'm not home..."

Shushu asked in confusion, "Did you go out? But the live stream starts in a little over an hour."

Pei Jinchen, who was working, looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"

The voice reached Shushu's ears via the phone.

Silence... A moment of silence on the phone.

Shushu asked with difficulty, "Ranran, where are you now?"

Xu Ran felt a little guilty: "I'm at the company, you can go back. I can do the live stream myself."

Out of concern for the mental health of her employees, Xu Ran added, "I'll give you a red envelope."

Shushu's eyes lit up when she saw the three big red envelopes in a row on WeChat.

【I'm going back now. Have fun! Call me again if you need anything!】

The workers get 600 yuan for making a wasted trip, so what complaints could they possibly have?

Besides fans of the main actors, there were also netizens who liked to watch the excitement in the live stream. There were so many people that the live stream froze for three minutes right after it started.

Xu Ran, who hadn't seen much of the world, exclaimed to the system in her mind, "Wow, so many people!"

The barrage of comments was so fast it was dizzying. Xu Ran finally found someone to ask him where he was streaming from.

"At the company."

Xu Ran deliberately tilted the camera slightly, revealing a corner of the sofa.

This topic was simply dropped.

Xu Ran: ?

Why didn't they ask where he was at the company?

The female lead read a comment on the screen: "Which scene made you cry the most?"

She paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "It was a scene with Ranran. I cried so much that day that my makeup was ruined."

Xu Ran quickly said, "Sister Lin, you can't blame me."

Although Xu Ran's acting skills did show improvement in the trailer, most netizens still have doubts about his performance in the entire series.

【real or fake? 】

Is Xu Ran a very tragic character?

[Since Sister Lin's acting is so good, and she said that, Xu Ran must be pretty good too.]

Sister Lin laughed and complained, "You guys have no idea, the whole crew was drawn into the role by him that day. I was crying my eyes out, but he was the one who got out of character the fastest."

Xu Ran was a little embarrassed and pursed her lips, remaining silent. This was then captured by viewers in the live stream and spread on Weibo.

Sister Lin said, "Everyone can look forward to that scene later."

She emphasized, "I won't allow myself to be the only one being tortured to tears!"

Following the female lead's exceptionally heartfelt accusation, "Crossing the Dust" once again became a trending topic.

It was a hit even before it aired.
