The Villain Just Want to Be a Slacker [Transmigration]

During the subsequent conversation, Tang Jing couldn't focus on a single word. He sat there in a daze, and several times when others tried to speak to him, he didn't respond.

It took others calling his name multiple times before Tang Jing snapped back to reality.

Seeing that something was off, You Jia asked with concern, "Tang Tang, are you okay? You seem distracted."

Hearing this, Ye Zexi also glanced over and asked, "Are you alright?"

Tang Jing forced a smile and finally said, "I'm fine. I think I ate too much tonight, and now I'm feeling a bit sleepy."

The main filming had already ended, and the cameras were only there for some additional shots.

Seeing Tang Jing like this, Wei Bei stood up and said, "It's getting late. Let's call it a night and rest."

The others nodded in agreement.

Everyone exchanged words of thanks for their hard work and then headed back to their rooms together.

Wei Bei pulled Tang Jing along, walking ahead, and as they approached the elevator, Tang Jing glanced back.

Ye Zexi and He Jinyun were walking side by side, seemingly engrossed in a happy conversation. Ye Zexi's eyes were smiling, narrowed with joy.

With a soft ding, the elevator doors slowly closed, cutting off Tang Jing's view.

Back in his room for barely two minutes, there was a knock at the door.

When Tang Jing opened it, he found his manager standing there, looking concerned.

"What's wrong with you tonight?" the manager asked, stepping inside and closing the door behind her.

Tang Jing pressed his lips together but didn't speak.

Sensing his mood, the manager didn't push him. Instead, she poured him a glass of water and started talking about other matters. "I was just chatting with Director Zhang. He said you did really well on the show. Once the episode airs, even without playing up the CP angle, you'll definitely be trending online. I think so too. Plus, not long after the show airs, 'The Great General' will be released, so your visibility will only keep growing. I've been thinking..."

"He figured it out," Tang Jing suddenly interrupted, cutting off his manager's chatter.

The manager was stunned. "What?"

Tang Jing collapsed onto the bed in frustration. "Teacher He... He figured out that I like Ye Zexi. And... he likes Ye Zexi too."

The manager had suspected Tang Jing's bad mood was related to Ye Zexi, but she hadn't expected He Jinyun to also have feelings for him. Her face was full of shock. "You're saying Teacher He...? He Jinyun?"

Tang Jing nodded, staring blankly at the ceiling.

He had always thought his relationship with Ye Zexi was close enough. But today, he realized there was someone else who was even closer to Ye Zexi than he was.

Tang Jing always told himself to let go, but each time, he couldn't bring himself to make the decision.

His hesitation only gave others the opportunity to act.

The manager's expression turned complicated as she thought for a moment before carefully asking, "So, did Teacher He say something to you?"

Tang Jing hesitated for a while before repeating He Jinyun's earlier words to the manager.

The manager stayed silent for a long time. Just when Tang Jing thought she didn't know what to say either, she finally spoke, "Tang Tang, have you ever considered that maybe, just like you, Teacher He is also acting on one-sided feelings?"
