[Quick Transmigration] The Clingy Spirit of the Blackened Male Supporting Character - Chapter 103

Luo Ning’s scenes were nearing the end. He was originally just a minor character. He was able to act to this extent thanks to the director adding more scenes.

As the villainous supporting character, the ending for the fifth male lead was of course tragic. He died for the Crown Prince, and just as he was about to close his eyes, a rare clean smile appeared on his face. A ray of sunlight finally shone on his pale complexion, washing away all the darkness and impurities. He stared intently at the one he loved, filled with regret and longing, before gradually fading into silence.

At least this moment was a happy one, as he was dying beside the one he loved.

Luo Ning wiped the moisture from the corner of his eyes. He was immersed in the scene, and his mood was still a bit low.

This was the last scene. He would have to leave the crew tomorrow.

The director smiled and said, “Xiao Luo, you’ve been busy lately, so I won’t take you out for a meal. I’ve noticed your efforts. As long as you maintain this, you will definitely have great potential for development. If there’s another opportunity for collaboration, I’ll contact you.”

“By the way, I have a friend who is currently preparing to film an idol drama. Although the quality of idol dramas isn’t very high, it’s a great starting point for you. You can try to seize this opportunity.”

Luo Ning took the business card he handed over and smiled gratefully. “Thank you, director.”

“And if our drama becomes popular, you must come back for promotions.”

“Of course.”

The director usually had a bad temper, but he was actually a very good person. As long as one had talent, they could earn his respect. He also liked to nurture new talents, valued the work, and wouldn’t engage in dirty tricks.

As they wrapped up for the day, Luo Ning turned to Ye Xingzhou. “Brother Ye, let’s go out for dinner tonight.”

The person he was closest to in this crew was Ye Xingzhou. Even though Ye Xingzhou had a strange temperament, he was still Luo Ning’s best friend in this world. Since they wouldn’t be filming in the same crew anymore and would each be busy with their lives, they should definitely go out for a meal together.

Ye Xingzhou hummed in agreement this time and didn’t refuse again. Luo Ning was here, easily stirring his emotions. He should have been relieved when the person left, yet he wasn’t quite that happy.

Outside, the lights were dim. It had just rained yesterday. The weather was cool, with a hint of moisture in the air. A gentle breeze blew by, carrying a hint of chill.

Ye Xingzhou wore a black coat, his features sharp and stern. Standing beside him, Luo Ning looked small, tugging at his strawberry-patterned coat. Their temperaments were completely different, yet when standing together, there was a perfect harmony.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Ning decided to go for hot pot. Eating hot pot with juice would be so comfortable in this weather. Besides, he wanted to keep his face looking good. It had been a while since he had eaten anything spicy.

Feeling a bit hungry, Luo Ning turned and asked, “Brother Ye, can you eat spicy food? Are you okay with hot pot?”

Ye Xingzhou nodded. “Sure, just choose two flavors when the time comes.”

Luo Ning cheerfully replied, “Let’s hurry then. I’m a bit hungry.”

The car drove into the bustling city center, choosing a relatively clean and unique little courtyard. The vegetables there were all freshly grown. After all, with Ye Xingzhou’s influence, it wasn’t realistic to eat at a noisy restaurant.

Fragrant steam wafted up. Luo Ning’s lips were bright red from spiciness, resembling a little cat exhaling, his cheeks puffed and his face flushed.

Ye Xingzhou took a sip of his drink and looked at Luo Ning. “What are your plans for the future?”

Luo Ning pressed his lips together. “I’ll still be acting, and I’ll continue to audition everywhere. With my current level of fame, no director will actively seek me out. I have to fight for it myself.”

Ye Xingzhou’s eyes flashed with a thoughtful look. “Recently, my company has been preparing a script. If you’re interested, I can arrange something for you.”

He wouldn’t casually promote someone, but he knew Luo Ning’s capabilities and believed he wouldn’t disappoint him.

Luo Ning didn’t decline and smiled slightly. “Thank you, Brother Ye. If there’s a role I like, I’ll definitely audition.”

The two slowly finished their meal, and it was already dark outside.

Luo Ning looked at the tall man beside him. His sharp features were softened by the light, and his calm and clear aura made him feel at ease. The night breeze swept away the heat. Luo Ning suddenly felt that this atmosphere was very comfortable.

Walking side by side with Ye Xingzhou on the street, he couldn’t quite describe his feelings. He didn’t want to go home alone immediately. He softly suggested, “Brother Ye, the night view is quite nice right now. Why don’t we take a walk nearby? There’s a little park over there.”

Ye Xingzhou met his gaze, a knowing look appearing in his eyes. It seemed the little actor wanted to prolong their time together. He was practically clinging to him, and the look in his eyes was all about him. The young actor was about to leave the crew and clearly didn’t want to part with him, so he wanted to seize every moment they had together.

Ye Xingzhou felt a little soft-hearted. Fine, seeing that eager look, he would indulge him for a while.

He didn’t find it bothersome. Instead, a hint of joy arose in his heart.

“Then let’s go take a look together.”

As soon as he said this, the young actor’s eyes lit up.

Luo Ning’s ears turned slightly red with a hint of joy.

The park square was sparsely populated, and with the lighting not very bright, they wore masks and went unnoticed. They were like ordinary people out for a jog. No one paid special attention to them.

There were stalls in the square selling snacks, toys, and even small fish, hamsters, and rabbits.

One stall had a crowd around it, with someone throwing rings to win small prizes.

Luo Ning hadn’t played such games in a long time. His bright eyes lit up with curiosity, his little face showing some excitement.

Ye Xingzhou noticed his interest and took long strides over. He got ten rings and handed them to Luo Ning. “Want to give it a try?”

Luo Ning waved his hand, feeling a bit anxious. “I’m not good at ring toss. I’ve never won anything.”

Ye Xingzhou placed the rings in his hand. “It’s just for fun. It doesn’t matter if you don’t win.”

Luo Ning smiled and picked up a ring, narrowing his eyes to carefully aim at a spot. He took a moment to gather himself and then threw it.

Watching nervously, it indeed missed.

Luo Ning tried five or six more times, but none hit. Clearly, he wasn’t suited for this kind of game. His little face couldn’t help but show a hint of disappointment, the sparkle in his eyes dimming a bit.

Ye Xingzhou’s eyes narrowed. He took the remaining rings and looked at a little hamster in the center. It was round and cute, running on a wheel. He asked, “Do you want it?”

Luo Ning nodded. The little hamster was adorably chubby. He liked fluffy things and had taken an immediate liking to it. Plus, raising a hamster wouldn’t be too much trouble.

Ye Xingzhou stood still, his eyes focused on that direction, calculating the position and applying some force with his hand.

The ring flew out. To Luo Ning’s surprise, it landed perfectly on the target.

Luo Ning was astonished. Why was there such a big gap when they were both men? He wasn’t as tall or as handsome as Ye Xingzhou, and now even throwing rings, Ye Xingzhou was better than him. It seemed that people really couldn’t be compared.

Luo Ning felt a mix of envy and joy. He had successfully won the little hamster he liked.

Feeling excited, he watched as Ye Xingzhou continued to throw and successfully landed two pots of succulents.

Ye Xingzhou held the little cage where the hamster was curled up. Unfortunately, it was too fat, but Luo Ning was happy as he took it. When he met Ye Xingzhou’s eyes, his ears reddened slightly.

Luo Ning got into the car while holding the hamster. Ye Xingzhou was driving him home tonight. He played with the little hamster and said, “Brother Ye, look how funny it is! I’ll take good care of it. I wonder if it will grow big…”

Ye Xingzhou glanced at the hamster indifferently, not finding it cute at all, just thinking it looked silly. He didn’t understand why Luo Ning liked such little creatures.

“It’s so fat. It doesn’t need much food, just feed it casually. With all that fur, you don’t even need a pet bed. Just let it roam around the house.”

He usually didn’t feel anything looking at that ugly little creature, but seeing Luo Ning’s attention solely on the hamster, playing with it from time to time, made Ye Xingzhou find the hamster a bit annoying.

When the car stopped, just as Luo Ning was about to close the door, he didn’t know why but he suddenly said, “Brother Ye, you haven’t come to my house as a guest, right? Would you like to come up for some tea?”

As soon as the words left his mouth, his face turned red. What kind of tone was that?

Strolling in the park wasn’t enough, and now he was inviting him to his home. It felt like he didn’t want to part ways. What was with this clingy attitude?

Luo Ning felt embarrassed and wanted to pretend he hadn’t said anything, especially knowing Ye Xingzhou’s personality. He probably wouldn’t agree.

Ye Xingzhou’s lips curved slightly. He knew the young actor would take advantage of the situation. Look at him, now inviting him for tea, clearly not wanting to say goodbye.

Yet he seemed a bit tempted. He got out of the car. “Sure, let’s go.”

Huh? Luo Ning looked up in disbelief, suspecting he had misheard. He actually agreed? This reversal left him feeling dizzy.

Ye Xingzhou seemed to dislike him before, telling him not to make too many demands. Why was he so accommodating tonight, agreeing to everything?

Luo Ning dazedly led the man upstairs, feeling the air had grown a bit warmer. The atmosphere seemed different from before, subtly different. A bit of warmth to creep onto his ears and cheeks.

His steps felt a bit stiff. He lived in a newly moved-in apartment with an elevator, making it convenient to go up and down. The living environment had improved a lot compared to before. It was a one-bedroom apartment, small but complete.

Luo Ning turned on the lights and placed the hamster on the shoe cabinet, then brought Ye Xingzhou a pair of slippers. He pursed his lips and said, “Brother Ye, the shoes are a bit small. Just make do with them.”

Luo Ning’s feet were only size 36, while Ye Xingzhou’s were large, making the slippers a bit tight. His heels were sticking out even with black socks.

Luo Ning lowered his head, stopping the urge to laugh. “Brother Ye, please sit on the sofa for a while.”

Ye Xingzhou casually surveyed the room with a discreet glance. It was clean and cozy, with a white fabric sofa, sky-blue curtains, a rattan flower rack, bright flowers, and plush toys.

The decorating style resembled the person himself, emanating a strange sense of warmth.

Ye Xingzhou sank into the soft sofa. Luo Ning brought out fruit and cookies. With Ye Xingzhou’s tall frame, the spacious apartment seemed a bit smaller.
