Chapter 65: Is This a Couple’s Outfit
Xiao Jiashu and Lin Leyang shared a dressing room, but the two did not interact at all. It
wasn’t because Xiao Jiashu didn’t want to speak, but because Lin Leyang didn’t want to
“Xiao-ge, this watch doesn’t really fit well. Let’s switch and try another one?” His exclusive
stylist took out an exquisite mechanical watch from his bag.
After putting it on, Xiao Jiashu looked into the mirror and nodded, “This one does seem
better, I’ll wear this one. Is there anything else that needs to be dealt with?”
“Perfect, nothing else needs to be dealt with. I’ll help you fix your microphone, turn around.”
The makeup artist almost fell over at Young Master Xiao’s beauty. He wore a white t-shirt
on his upper body, and a pair of jeans on his lower body. Because of the good proportions
of his figure, his two legs looked particularly long and straight. It was obvious that he was
dressed in a simple style, but when his deep handsome features were paired with his
elegant and noble temperament, he looked as if he were dressed in an extravagant style,
causing people’s eyes to brighten.
The simpler the style, the more his aggressive appearance could be highlighted. On the
other hand, Lin Leyang wore almost the same casual outfit, but his looks belonged to the
delicate and indifferent type. So when standing next to the oppressive Xiao Jiashu, it was
simply a disaster.
After Xiao Jiashu left the dressing room, Chen Pengxin angrily said, “Did you see that
watch on his wrist? The Richard Mille Men’s Series RM056 10th Anniversary Edition. It’s a
global limited edition, starting at over 13 million. Just that watch can trample our limelight.
Look at the clothing and accessories the company has provided for you, what are they? I
feel that your treatment has plummeted recently. I’m going to complain to President Ji.”
“The clothing and accessories I wore before were all bought by Ji-ge. I’ve already mailed
them back to him. What are you complaining about? Lin Leyang wiped his face and said
weakly, “Let me look at the script. This variety show is a live broadcast, I can’t make a
“Here.” Chen Pengxin handed him the script and sighed, “President Ji really did treat you
well before. He bought five or six several million yuan watches for you, and there was even
one that cost tens of millions. At the time, I thought it was provided by the company or a
Lin Leyang was taken aback for a moment and could no longer continue looking at the
The live broadcast soon began. During the host’s introduction, Luo Zhangwei led Ji Mian,
Shi Tingheng, Miao Muqing, Xiao Jiashu, and Lin Leyang onto the stage. Upon seeing Ji
Mian’s clothing, Xiao Jiashu’s eyes widened and his mouth opened. His expression was
very surprised. This was because it wasn’t just the fact that the two of them wore the same
brand of shirts and jeans, but one wore white and blue, while the other wore black and gray.
It looked like a couple’s outfit. More coincidentally, both of them wore a matching pair of
leather belts from L company, as well as a Richard Mille men’s watch, the only two limited
editions of the same watch in the country.
Ji Mian was also stunned and then couldn’t help but smile. Male celebrities were different
from female celebrities. So what if they wore the same clothes, no one would get into a
conflict because of this. Of course, if one of them were well dressed and the other was ugly,
the situation would be different. But when Ji Mian and Xiao Jiashu stood together, one
could really not tell who won or lost. The two of them were both terribly good-looking, but
one was more lively while the other was more domineering.
The host looked around and immediately teased, “Could the two of you have planned this?”
Xiao Jiashu’s cheeks flushed red and he quickly waved his hands, “No, no. I really didn’t
know that Ji-ge would wear this. Ji-ge is taller than me, and looks much better than me
dressed like this.” He secretly glanced at Ji Mian and suddenly even his neck turned red.
Before, this outfit already made one’s legs appear long, but Ji Mian was more than 190cm.
Two legs wrapped in denim, this length was simply against the heavens! How could Ji-ge
sit on such a short sofa? There wouldn’t be any room for his long legs, right?
Xiao Jiashu glanced back and forth, seeming to have run away with his thoughts. Ji Mian
didn’t not know whether to laugh or cry. He really wanted to walk over and rub his head,
telling him that this was a live broadcast.
“These are brother outfits.” Ji Mian briefly explained. Then he very naturally patted Xiao
Jiashu on the back.
Only now did Xiao Jiashu recover his spirit and sit down next to Ji-ge. The two appeared
on the screen side by side, one mature and stable, and the other young and handsome.
The picture was very harmonious and eye-catching. The audience’s eyes were unknowingly
stuck to the screen, unable to be pulled away.
“Hey, the CP feeling is so strong. Aren’t these matching couple’s outfits?” A member of the
audience sent this in the barrage and immediately evoked a wave of agreement.
The variety show was a talking program and the host was very culturally literate. The
conversation was very humorous and the atmosphere quickly heated up. He deliberately
dug a pit for Director Luo Zhangwei, “Each main character is here, whose performance
were you most satisfied with?”
Luo Zhangwei had an interesting personality. Usually, if there was a pit, he’d jump. He
answered without consideration, “Of course it’s Xiao Jiashu.”
“Because he has made the most progress. At first, he didn’t even know what the
performance was. But later, he was able to compete on the same court as Ji Mian. Look at
these few photos and you’ll understand.” Luo Zhangwei pointed to the large screen behind
them and it immediately showed the pre-edited photos. They saw Xiao Jiashu slumped on
a chair in various positions while playing a game on his phone, looking very forgetful. In the
next photos, background music was also added, “Wash, scrub, scrub; wash, scrub,
scrub……” [1] The picture then rotated 360 degrees, completely showing off Xiao Jiashu’s
heroic posture of swiping on his phone from all angles.
The audience below the stage roared with laughter. Ji Mian, Shi Tingheng, and the others
also couldn’t help but smile. Only Lin Leyang couldn’t raise the corners of his mouth, so he
could only cover the lower half of his face with his hand, revealing slightly curved eyes,
Xiao Jiashu completely did not expect that Director Luo would pit himself like this, and his
cheeks were flushed with embarrassment.
“This is him in the early stages. When on set, he only knew how to play games. I really
hated iron for not becoming steel.” Luo Zhangwei smiled heartily, “This is him in the later
stage. How is it? Isn’t there a great change?”
The guy swiping through his phone disappeared. Instead, he transformed into the Xiao
Jiashu who was carrying a small stool, holding a small notebook, with a pen on his ear. He
sometimes squatted next to Director Luo to take notes, sometimes squatted next to the
cameraman to take notes, and sometimes squatted next to the assistant directors to take
notes. In short, wherever there was a scene, wherever there’d be the figure of him squatting
on a little stool.
His early careless appearance and later hard work were fully shown by these photos. While
his acting skills also made rapid progress.
The audience laughed at first, then applauded enthusiastically.
For the first time, Xiao Jiashu faced his own changes. His shame-filled expression was
gradually replaced with seriousness. He put his hands together and sincerely said to Luo
Zhangwei, “Director Luo, I will continue to work hard. Thank you for your continued help and
Luo Zhangwei smiled and waved his hand.
Ji Mian looked towards the big screen and added, “This little stool is Xiao Jiashu’s
exclusive throne. He bought it for 20 yuan, saying that it was convenient to bring with him in
The audience burst into laughter again.
Xiao Jiashu glared at Ji Mian without anger, then also couldn’t help but smile. Ji Mian’s
hands were itchy, and he patted his forehead awkwardly.
The audience watching the live broadcast on the Internet was almost overwhelmed by their
interactions. They repeated in the barrage, “Oh my god, their eye contact is so warm and
loving! Ji Mian will look at Xiao Jiashu every few minutes and then he can’t help but smile!
Xiao Jiashu also glances at Ji Mian every few minutes and when their sights collide, he’d
laugh stupidly. That head touch almost killed me with sweetness, okay!
The host laughed for a long time before asking, “Do you really take that little stool wherever
“En, it’s placed in the trunk of the nanny’s car.” Xiao Jiashu nodded, but then covered his
face with his hand, looking embarrassed.
The netizen’s barrage immediately occupied the live broadcast room, everyone praising
his cuteness. He was obviously the handsome and cold type, but whenever he smiled, he’d
look particularly innocent and bright.
The host continued to ask him, “I heard that this is your first time performing, plus your
partner is Teacher Ji. Did you feel pressure?”
Xiao Jiashu shook his head, “There’s no pressure at all.”
“Eh [2], is your psychological quality that good?” The host raised an eyebrow.
“It’s not that my psychological quality is good, but because I am ignorant. I first felt what
acting was during the scene 2:56 seconds into the trailer. In this scene, it was Ji-ge’s
resolute eyes that shook me. At the time, I was completely stunned. I suddenly
realized——Oh, so it turns out this is acting. This is bringing illusory characters into reality!
As he spoke, the trailer was shown on the big screen, amazing the audience. On the
screen, Ji Mian’s eyes were absolutely terrifying. Such desperate struggle and sorrow
directly entered people’s hearts, shocking them incomparably.
In fact, one couldn’t discern the plot just from the trailer, but the excellent acting skills of the
leading actors had already established a solid reputation for the film. Messages of “looking
forward to the movie’s screening” almost covered the live broadcast room.
The host grasped on to this topic and continued to ask, “So, does this mean you’re Teacher
Ji’s fan? Oh right, Lin Leyang is also a fan of Teacher Ji, right? Your weibo is full of Teacher
Ji’s news, starting from four years ago.
Lin Leyang smiled and nodded, “Yes, I’m a hardcore fan of Ji-ge.”
“I am too!” Xiao Jiashu didn’t know why he insisted on this sentence. Although he hadn’t
been a fan for long, he was also iron! Even stronger than old iron! [3]
The keen audience immediately sent into the barrage, “Ah, this is the Little Sapling fighting
for favor, right? So cute ah!
The host squeezed his palms and said, “Since you both claim you’re Teacher Ji’s fans, then
I will test you. Someone, bring out the question boards and get one for Teacher Ji.” [4]
This segment had not been planned in advance, so all three of them were a little confused
after receiving the question boards. The host asked Ji Mian to sit next to himself and
laughed lightly, “In this way, I will come up with questions only pertaining to Teacher Ji. The
two of you will write down your answers together with him. Whoever’s answer is the same
as Teacher Ji will get a point. Real fans or fake fans, we’ll discuss after we see the total
Xiao Jiashu was eager to try while Lin Leyang felt a sense of superiority for the first time.
He had dated Ji-ge for so many years, how could he not understand his preferences?
[1] After a quick baidu search, this song is meant to express a happy or goofy atmosphere
[2] 唷 - more of a surprised exclamation
[3] A word play. “Hardcore fan” is 铁杆粉丝, the first character (铁) means “iron” by itself.
Figuratively, Xiao Jiashu is saying he’s a hardcore fan of Ji Mian, even more of a fan than
older iron / older hardcore fans.
[4] In case this wasn’t clear or a little abrupt, the host is addressing someone else on set
