Quick Transmigration: Rescuing the Blackened Male Lead - Chapter 417
Chapter 417: Heard You Got Shelved (22)
Shen Mubai calmly replied, “It was a slip of the hand.”
Li Hong almost burst out laughing in anger.
“Go look at the comments yourself.”
Feeling guilty, Shen Mubai said, “Xiaoguai, give me your phone for a sec.”
Xiaoguai obediently handed her phone over.
Shen Mubai scrolled through Weibo, and sure enough, she was trending again.
Scent of Green Apple: Hahahaha, what the heck is Tang Xiaoxing doing??? Is she mocking herself???
Yangyang Won’t Bleat: Completely confused—what’s this young actress doing entering a giveaway on Weibo?
Big Bad Wolf Eats Little White Rabbit: I know what this is, definitely another ‘slip of the hand’ 【sarcastic】.
Little Star: My goddess is too cute! I like her more and more!
Too Bad He Likes Men: Hahaha, addicted to the foodie persona? The Weibo giveaway prize is literally food.
Ex-boyfriend Go Die: Something feels off about Tang Xiaoxing’s behavior lately. There’s definitely something fishy going on.
After closing Weibo, Shen Mubai said innocently, “Nothing wrong with it.”
Li Hong, exasperated, said, “You think you don’t have enough black spots?”
Shen Mubai, sounding wronged, replied, “Sister Hong, I’ll be more careful next time.”
Li Hong, still scrolling through Weibo, muttered, “Do you know that if you behave well now, once the drama airs, you could gain an audience…” Her voice abruptly stopped.
She paused for a moment before saying, “I might’ve been wrong. Forget it, let’s just observe for now.”
What Shen Mubai didn’t know was that Li Hong had started to believe her strange behavior was the result of a breakup, leading to a kind of self-sabotage.
However, it seemed like a blessing in disguise; while Shen Mubai hadn’t cleared her name, some neutral observers were becoming interested in her.
If this trend continued, she could gain a fanbase without needing to deliberately craft a new persona.
Li Hong continued, “Today’s trending photos didn’t look like they were taken by paparazzi. I think someone from the crew leaked them. I’ll investigate it thoroughly. Just be careful. It’s not the obvious enemies you should worry about, but the ones hiding in the shadows, waiting to strike.”
Shen Mubai had initially thought it was the paparazzi, but hearing Li Hong’s words, she couldn’t help but sigh to herself, “The entertainment industry is really messy.”
When the filming wrapped for the day, Yu Jingchen changed back into his usual clothes—a white T-shirt and dark pants.
Though simple, his gentle and youthful aura, along with his polite and sweet smile, naturally made a good impression on anyone seeing him for the first time.
He walked over with a slightly shy smile, his eyes bright.
“Sister Xiaoxing.”
Seeing his demeanor, an idea popped into Shen Mubai’s mind.
“How about we go out for hotpot tonight?”
Yu Jingchen was taken aback for a moment, but then smiled.
“That’s probably not a good idea.”
Shen Mubai winked at him and raised a finger to her lips, “We’ll sneak out.”
A faint blush spread across Yu Jingchen’s pale face, and his long, curly lashes fluttered as he said, “But if someone catches us, wouldn’t it affect you, Sister Xiaoxing?”
A mischievous glint flashed in Shen Mubai’s eyes.
“We’ll disguise ourselves.”
Yu Jingchen stared at her for a moment, then nodded.
Shen Mubai, thrilled, secretly rubbed her hands together, thinking, “Finally, I’ll get to eat hotpot.”
That evening, the two, after disguising themselves, sneaked out of the hotel.
Shen Mubai sighed, “We finally managed to fool Xiaoguai. Let’s hurry.”
They were filming in Xiheng, and right nearby was a food district.
