The Villain Just Want to Be a Slacker [Transmigration]

122

In situations where Ye Zexi feels embarrassed, his usual reaction is to either escape or play dumb.

So, for the entire afternoon that followed, every time filming ended, Ye Zexi would immediately retreat to the nanny van.

As for He Jinyun?

Apologies, but Ye Zexi pretended not to notice the down jacket He Jinyun offered him.

Seeing this, many of the crew members found it odd. However, since it didn't seem like He Jinyun and Ye Zexi had fought, they didn't think much of it.

Tang Jing, on the other hand, was puzzled. While going over the script in the van with Ye Zexi, he couldn't help but ask.

Ye Zexi had been quietly sipping water, but after hearing the question, his face turned visibly red.

Tang Jing immediately sensed something was off.

Sure enough, the next second, Ye Zexi blushed even more and said, "He just told me that he wants to take me to meet his mother."

Tang Jing: "?"

Ye Zexi continued, "I'm not upset or anything... I'm just feeling a bit shy. I need some time to cool off, that's all!"

Tang Jing: "..."

If he had known, he wouldn't have asked. This was the second time he ended up eating dog food!

["Dog food" in this context is often referred to as "喂狗粮" (wèi gǒu liáng) in Chinese. It describes moments of public displays of affection that evoke envy in those who are single.]

Why did he keep walking right into it?

Just as Ye Zexi had said, his bout of shyness didn't last long, and by the next day, he was back to his usual self.

Everyone on set noticed that Ye Zexi and He Jinyun had returned to their normal dynamic by the time filming wrapped up the next day.

The crew members all thought the situation had been resolved.

But He Jinyun didn't feel that way.

He started to notice that, lately, Ye Zexi seemed to be hiding something from him.

After over a month of filming, He Jinyun was always the first to arrive on set and the last to leave.

To keep He Jinyun company, Ye Zexi would stay behind after work and sit with him by the monitors until they both left for the hotel together.

During this time, Ye Zexi would sometimes lie down to catch a nap, but more often than not, he would sit in front of the monitors watching anime, occasionally letting out a few bursts of laughter.

But recently, things had changed. Every time Ye Zexi lay down, he would have a serious expression on his face as he stared at his tablet. Sometimes, He Jinyun would even notice him mumbling something under his breath, his lips moving slightly.

Whenever He Jinyun would glance over in curiosity, Ye Zexi seemed to sense it and quickly switched the screen to his anime.

There were a few times when He Jinyun caught a glimpse of what was on the screen, but he wasn't sure what he had seen.

Whenever He Jinyun asked about it, Ye Zexi would reply, "I'm watching anime! What else would I be doing?"

He Jinyun would stare at the screen, seeing the words "Episode 7 of Jujutsu Kaisen" displayed and let out a quiet sigh.

An anime episode lasts about 30 minutes. Yet, Ye Zexi had been on this episode for five or six days without finishing it?

Still, He Jinyun chose not to confront him.
