Chapter 20: Canned Acting is No Good

The two cameramen assigned to Jiang Xun and Gu Wei both seemed to know Jiang Xun. As Gu Wei looked on with desperation in his eyes, they took their leave together.

"Don't go!" Gu Wei called out towards the closing door, from where he was still slumped on the ground. "This meme has a history of being a big old pervert!"

Outside, the two cameramen could only be heard letting out a round of merciless, raucous laughter.

"Get up," Jiang Xun said, extending a hand to Gu Wei. "It's cold on the floor."

Gu Wei blinked up at him a few times before taking Jiang Xun's hand and climbing to his feet.

"Did you hurt yourself when you fell?" Jiang Xun asked.

Gu Wei blinked again. "Huh?"

He followed Jiang Xun's line of sight. When he realized what Jiang Xun was talking about, he quickly shook his head with a faint blush.

"That's good," Jiang Xun said. "That makes it easier for us to settle the score."

Although his family had warned him over and over again to not bully Gu Wei, Jiang Xun couldn't help it. Every time he saw Gu Wei, he just wanted to tease him. And this time, Gu Wei had practically delivered himself, gift-wrapped, to Jiang Xun's doorstep. He'd provided Jiang Xun with the perfect excuse to torment him a little.

The last time Jiang Xun saw Gu Wei, a few days ago, Gu Wei's hair had been dyed a brilliant, powdery white, giving him a flashy appearance. Today, perhaps for the purposes of filming the reality show, Gu Wei's hair had been dyed back to black.

The dark color made his pale skin look even paler in contrast. Gu Wei was young, and his frame was rather slight as well. With that head of black hair, he looked even more like a sweet, obedient, and slightly frail kid.

When he wasn't causing trouble, Gu Wei just looked way too adorable and nice. Even Jiang Xun could hardly bear to make him pay.

Gu Wei shifted restlessly, nervously under Jiang Xun's piercing gaze. In the end, he was the one who spoke first: "Ge, I was wrong."

He had been led over to the chair in the infirmary, and Jiang Xun had pressed down on his shoulder to make him sit. The whole atmosphere reeked of one person who was about to make another pay for a heinous crime.

When Gu Wei confessed his guilt, even he himself had to admit the words were already starting to sound familiar. Hadn't it been just a short while ago that he'd sworn he would never cause any trouble for Jiang Xun again?

If he really thought about it, he had been making an endless string of careless mistakes ever since that engagement came out of the blue.

"What do you think you did wrong?" Jiang Xun asked, gazing intently at Gu Wei, like he was the most interesting thing in the world.

Gu Wei was very, very used to being criticized by his anti-fans. He was a total pro at apologizing, and he instantly started ticking off the long list of his wrongdoings on his fingers:

"I was wrong to excavate your dark past, I was wrong to accidentally like that post, I was wrong to disappear after liking it, I was wrong to ignore it after finding out what I did, I was wrong to not answer your text."

He admitted to every fault he could think of, then looked up at Jiang Xun as though hoping to be praised.

Jiang Xun only gave him a stern look. "All incorrect."

"Huh?"

There was no praise. Gu Wei didn't know where to go from there.

"You dug through my Weibo," Jiang Xun prompted. "You dug ten years into the past. You liked a post. And, in the end, you didn't even follow me."
