Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yu Jue grabbed Yu Yao and excitedly introduced the plot of the television drama. In the end, he couldn’t help but say proudly, “It’s not that I’m boasting, but everyone thinks that my performance in this television drama has improved greatly from before. I also think that my performance in this drama is very good.”

The scene had switched to the part in which the male lead, played by Yu Jue, was coughing up blood after being poisoned.

On the screen, the male protagonist suddenly frowned. He clutched at his chest, his face filled with disbelief. Then, two lines of black blood slowly flowed out of the corners of his mouth. The male protagonist slowly fell to the ground…

Yu Yao looked at Yu Jue’s exaggerated performance on the television screen and recalled Yu Jue’s boasting earlier. Even though she knew that Yu Jue had always been a shameless person, she had not expected him to actually lie through his teeth and boast about his acting skills, something that did not exist!

As Yu Jue had been paying attention to Yu Yao the whole time, he did not notice that his acting skills on the screen were very awkward.

Seeing that he was completely unaffected, Yu Yao was given the feeling that even if he saw his own awkward acting, he would feel no guilt at all.

Yu Yao raised her hand and gently poked Yu Jue’s face. He was shocked by her actions and stared blankly at Yu Yao, who was sitting very close to him. “Yaoyao, what are you doing? Is there something on my face?”

“I’m looking at how thick your skin is.” Yu Yao shook her head. “Your skin isn’t that much different from a normal person’s. So how can you be so mentally strong?”

He had actually been praised by his sister! The corners of Yu Jue’s mouth couldn’t help but curl up. He coughed lightly and pretended to act normal as he said, “I’ve always been relatively calm. It’s probably because I have a staid personality.”

“Do you think I’m complimenting you?” Yu Yao couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Pointing at the television screen, she said to Yu Jue, “I just don’t understand how you’re so confident even though your acting is clearly very bad.”

Oh, so that’s what it was…

Only then did Yu Jue understand what Yu Yao really meant. His face immediately revealed a pitiful, aggrieved expression as he looked at the television screen.

This was a scene between the male lead and the female lead. On the surface, he was joking lightly with the female lead, but in fact, he was deliberately tricking the female lead to tell him more details about her family’s treasure.

Yu Jue had contributed quite an eye-catching outfit to this scene. It was the type that would definitely make it onto the leaderboard of the collections of beautiful men in historical clothing, but that was all.

The acting skills of the popular idol who played the female lead were not much better than Yu Jue’s. As a result, what should have been a very tense scene became very dull. He did not exhibit the humor and wisdom of the male lead. Instead, he looked a little silly.

Ah…

Yu Jue stared blankly at the male lead on the screen who had no acting skills. A sense of shame welled up in his heart, and his toes curled up awkwardly, as if he could dig out a mansion on the spot with just his toes alone.

“Yaoyao, you have to believe me! This isn’t my true standard at all,” Yu Jue explained incoherently. “At that time… At that time, this drama had just started shooting not long ago, so I hadn’t entered the zone yet. I performed very well in the other scenes. The director often praised me back then!”

“How can you take the director’s praise seriously?” Yu Yao didn’t believe Yu Jue’s words at all. “Perhaps the director was just being polite. Alright, I won’t watch your drama anymore. I’ll admire your acting skills after you have a real representative piece of work in the future.”

With that, Yu Yao stood up and stretched before rubbing her empty stomach. “I’m a little hungry. What are we eating tonight?”

The television screen had already finished playing the scene with his exaggerated acting, and in the next scene, his performance was much more natural.

He wanted to drag Yu Yao back and let her admire his acting skills, but when he heard that Yu Yao was hungry, he could not care less about defending himself.

As someone who had been pampered since young, Yu Jue could be said to have never done any household chores. Even when he agreed to participate in the variety show, he had never thought about the possibility of cooking himself.

Yu Jue turned on his phone. “I’ll contact the housekeeper. I don’t know what happened today, but she still hasn’t arrived yet.”

When the cameramen, who were hiding in the corner of the apartment and filming, heard Yu Jue’s words, they almost lost their grip on the cameras in their hands. Yu Yao also looked at Yu Jue in shock.

“Wait, you didn’t prepare anything?” Yu Yao couldn’t help but raise her voice. “Yu Jue, did you not see the contract drawn up by the production team at all? Or did you seriously not listen to the various requests the production team made before the filming started?”

“What?” Yu Jue looked at Yu Yao blankly. “Isn’t this just a variety show where we eat, drink, and play together? What’s so special about it?”

Yu Yao let out a long sigh.. The show had just started recording for a few hours, but she already felt very tired.
