Ye Bufan: "What does it mean that pity exceeds fondness by so much?"

System: "To put it simply, it's like knowing a prostitute on the street with a tragic background. You would sympathize with her situation, but you would never have any positive feelings towards her."

Ye Bufan: "...Are you trying to say that in Xiao Xu's eyes, I'm just like a prostitute?"

System: "Probably."

Ye Bufan: "......"

Although Yè Bùfán's recent performance at work has improved a lot, Xu Ānnán still feels uneasy. Because of this, he can only pay more attention to Lú Yú. After all, among the people he is currently in charge of, only Lú Yú is more... compatible with him.

Lu Yu is introverted and beautiful. This kind of beauty does not refer to feminine charm, but rather a gentle and slightly neutral feeling, which gives people a strong desire to protect.

Of course, corresponding to this, it will also make certain people have a desire to bully him.

Especially when Lu Yu was the first to seize the opportunity to appear.

In this issue, there weren't any particularly outstanding newcomers. Everyone was quite ordinary. In such a situation, who can become famous first depends on luck and a certain level of ability. Lu Yu didn't have anything remarkable about him except for his appearance, and his manager doesn't have many resources either. And yet, he managed to secure a role. This really makes people wonder.

Lu Yu has always been very self-disciplined, practicing on time and making up for his deficiencies. Besides his personality, which is really difficult to change on his own, he has a relatively accurate evaluation of himself in other aspects.

Now, he had a goal that gave him even more motivation.

Without a doubt, that would be Ye Bufan.

That day, when faced with Tao Lin, he was extremely nervous and at a loss. After Xu An Nan suddenly took Ye Bufan away, Tao Lin approached him with a smile and asked him about random things that had nothing to do with the script of the play. Even if he was slow-witted, he realized that this investor probably had a different idea. And then, thinking about Tao Lin's admiration for Ye Bufan earlier, he instantly understood.

It turned out that I was just a substitute? Lu Yu suddenly realized this, but he didn't feel any dissatisfaction or jealousy. In his eyes, this was just a normal occurrence, just like how Tao Lin was attracted to Ye Bufan. The moment the youth walked in from the door, all he saw in his eyes was radiance.

It would be so nice if I could become someone like Ye Bufan.

This idea reached its peak when Ye Bufan, in a firm manner, insisted on taking on the role of the female protagonist's younger brother.

So he could only work his hardest to repay the young man.

The cool water splashed onto Lu Yu's face, slightly cooling her flushed cheeks.

In the past few days, Ye Bufan has not been seen at the company. It seems that his farewell remark of "come whenever you have time" was just a formality. Lu Yu felt a slight disappointment, but then was pleasantly surprised by the attention from Xu Annan.

He still lived in the room arranged by the company. As a newcomer, he had a one-year training period. Once the time was up, each person would be assigned their own agent. Most of the future work would be arranged by the agents. The people who lived with him hadn't returned yet. Everyone had ambitions, but each person had a different way of realizing their ambitions.

After wiping his face and changing into fresh clothes, Lu Yu had not even stepped out of the bathroom when he heard the sound of the door being opened, accompanied by loud commotion.

Lu Yu, what kind of person is he anyway? He's just someone who managed to obtain a role that others look down upon, and I don't even know how he got it!

Lu Yu's hand on the door handle paused for a moment.

"He has the look of someone who has been screwed over by countless people!"

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment. He was not oblivious to the chaos in the entertainment industry, but those matters had always felt distant, like mere legends. However, now those things were suddenly forced upon him by others, and Lu Yu felt shocked, followed by a surge of indignation.

I heard that the investor, named Tao something, has always been someone who plays with men. Lu Yu's appearance seems to be suitable for that kind of thing...

The bathroom door was forcefully pushed open, and Lu Yu stared at the three people in front of him. They were his roommates, with one of them drunk and being supported by the other two. When he saw Lu Yu appear, he squinted his eyes and sneered, "Hey, isn't this Lu Yu?" He pushed away the people supporting him and unsteadily walked up to Lu Yu, leaning in to touch his face.

Lu Yu took a step back and exclaimed, "What are you doing!"

He has a tendency to blush easily, and the reddish flush on his face from training had not completely faded yet. In a fit of anger, his neck even turned red. The person seeing this laughed and said, "Ha, what are you doing in the bathroom? That Tao someone...didn't satisfy you?"

Lu Yu was so angry that his eyes were misty. He raised his hand and slapped: "You've gone too far!"

The man received a slap, and with a slow reaction, he covered his face and looked at Lu Yu. With a dumbfounded look, he stared at the delicate young man. The two people who were watching from behind were also startled. Finally, the man spat, grabbed Lu Yu's hand, and forcefully pulled him down to the ground.

"What are you staring at! Come over and hold him down!"

The two onlookers, realizing belatedly, followed suit and pinned Lu Yu to the ground. The young man's cheek pressed against the icy floor, almost roaring, "Let me go!"

He couldn't break free. A drunken person squatted in front of Lu Yu and grabbed hold of his face. "With a face like a delicate white flower, no wonder someone took an interest in you!"

Lu Yu stared at him angrily, his eyes watery and the corners red. He glanced at the people around him and said, "Li Ge, this is..."

"What is it! I haven't even tried being with a man!"

Lu Yu's body trembled as he looked at the person in disbelief. The person took a towel from the bathroom and bound Lu Yu's hands with it, also covering his mouth. They pushed away their companion and turned Lu Yu over, sitting on top of him. They raised their hand and gestured to their companion, saying, "Take out the cellphone!"

"No, this isn't good..."

The two of them hesitated, but when Brother Li gave them a fierce glare, they obediently went to search for their cell phones. Lu Yu attempted to break free from the towel, only to find that it was tied in a tight knot. The friction on her wrist caused burning pain, and that person sneered, "You lowly person, daring to hit me? Are you unsatisfied and seeking revenge?!"

He started to unbutton Lu Yu's pants as he spoke. The young man had just changed into his home clothes, and the pants were slightly loose, so they easily came off with a gentle pull. Lu Yu shook his head and mumbled, and the person slapped him back. Lu Yu turned his head, and tears streamed down his face.

"What are you crying for? You'll have your moment of triumph sooner or later."

Feeling a hand touching his waist, Lu Yu closed his eyes.

That person first felt the delicacy of the skin in his hands, and also felt a sense of emotion about how good this wretched life is. The next moment, as the world spun around, when the things in front of his eyes stopped shaking, he had already fallen on his back on the ground.

Lu Yu opened his eyes and seemed to see a heavenly deity.

Ye Bufan stood by the door, his expression almost stern.

"Xiaotong, was I handsome just now?"

System: "......"

Isn't it just about taking advantage of others' unawareness and launching a sneak attack? There's nothing to be proud of.
