He is Too Stingy, This Sand Sculpture Cannon Fodder

Fu Xiaoxing is very good at calculating.

The person who called her was a rich second-generation that she had met at a gathering before. At the time, Fu Xiaoxing was quite proactive, but didn’t receive a good response, so she just left his number in her contacts and forgot about it.

But for some reason, last night, Lu Chenbi suddenly contacted her and asked if she was single. After getting a positive answer, Lu Chenbi’s attitude took a 180-degree turn and he became very enthusiastic towards Fu Xiaoxing.

The two hit it off and agreed to go out on a date after Fu Xiaoxing finished her shoot today.

For the long-term meal ticket that was about to be obtained, Fu Xiaoxing naturally took advantage of it. On the phone, she cried a lot, causing the other person to console her and feel very sorry for her.

After a few words, Lu Chenbi promised that he would come over immediately and help her vent her anger!

Fu Xiaoxing was secretly happy and proud.

Ten minutes later, Lu Chenbi arrived. She personally went downstairs to pick him up and pointed to a strand of messy hair in the resting area, saying, “It’s him!”

“Young Master Lu, you have to help me out!” she said.

Following her finger, Lu Chenbi saw the face under the messy hair and suddenly shuddered.

Without saying a word, he quickly pulled Fu Xiaoxing to a corner of the wall, made sure that the other side couldn’t see this area, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Fu Xiaoxing: ???

Lu Chenbi coughed and said, “You go back and wait for me. I’ll go over and teach him a lesson.”

Fu Xiaoxing really wanted to see Shu You being taught a lesson with her own eyes, but she also knew when to stop. Reluctantly, she left. As soon as she left, Lu Chenbi immediately bowed and approached Shu You.

It was now time for lunch.

Wu Youzhe took the box of food from Shu You and looked complicated. “Shu You, were you really not in the entertainment industry before?” Why was he so skilled at snatching food?

“Really not.”

Shu You sighed, “Who knew your line of work could make so much money!”

If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have been king of the scrap recycling station back then.

Wu Youzhe took a bite and couldn’t help asking, “How does it feel to shoot?”

“It’s okay.” Shu You didn’t feel any difficulty, but just to be on the safe side, he asked cautiously, “Can I take the prize I won?”

“Um…”

Wu Youzhe hesitated for a moment and then said, “Shouldn’t be a problem.”

After finishing the boxed meal, the two of them put their chopsticks in the middle and threw them into the trash can.

Looking at the various colorful and bright people coming and going at the TV station, Wu Youzhe sighed, “Ten years ago when I resigned and started my own business, I never thought I would end up like this ten years later.”

Shu You comforted him, “It’s okay. Many people start their own businesses for ten years and come back with nothing.”

Wu Youzhe: “…”

The atmosphere of the heart-to-heart talk broke down, and Wu Youzhe made an excuse to buy water and walked away, his back looking somewhat desolate.

Shu You stayed where he was with nothing to do, and took out his phone to send a message to Lin Mingxu.

“Are you there?”

No one replied.

“Have you had lunch?”

No response.

“I want to eat hot pot tonight, what do you want to eat?”

Shu You persevered and continued to send messages, “The vegetable market has a promotion on Friday, buy one hundred and get a free scallion, buy two hundred and get a pound of potatoes.”

Lin Mingxu seemed to have not seen it, with no signs of response.

Shu You didn’t expect him to respond, but just to get some attention.

Wu Youzhe came back with two bottles of drinks and saw Lu Chenbi approaching Shu You sneakily.

This posture…

This movement…

Using his years of experience as a manager, Wu Youzhe analyzed it and couldn’t help but feel delighted. He took a step forward and grabbed Lu Chenbi’s clothes, “Hey! You’re a fan of our Shu You, aren’t you? Come on, I’ll give you a signature and a photo with him!”

Lu Chenbi: ???

He hurriedly covered his face with his hands, “No, I’m not! Don’t talk nonsense!” How could he be a fan of Shu You?

Lu Chenbi struggled desperately but couldn’t break free. He was forcibly dragged to Shu You by Wu Youzhe. Wu Youzhe was overjoyed, “Shu You! Congratulations! You have your first fan!”

Shu You wondered who had such peculiar tastes and didn’t know how to behave. He turned his head and saw a man who looked like an ordinary person in a suit, except for the fact that he seemed a bit mysterious, with some fingers covering his features.

Wu Youzhe seemed to have found a new lease on life and kept talking nonstop, “The first fan is a milestone, and once you have the first, you’ll have the second, and then the third… Hey, why aren’t you two talking?”

Lu Chenbi didn’t want to talk, both hands covering his face as if he were too embarrassed to show it.

Shu You thought for a moment, “You look familiar to me…”

“I have a common face!”

“Everyone thinks they’ve seen me before!” Lu Chenbi interrupted firmly.

Shu You stroked his chin, “Your voice sounds familiar too…”

“I’ve had a cold recently!”

Lu Chenbi was running out of excuses and really wanted to escape. But Wu Youzhe interrupted, “Why does it matter so much? Having fans is a good thing! It’s a milestone!”

The agent was excited and said to Lu Chenbi, “I have pen and paper with me… Oh, by the way, let’s add each other on WeChat! When the fan club is established, I’ll be the first to invite you to join.”

Lu Chenbi despaired and scanned the QR code to add Wu Youzhe, hiding his face the whole time.

After adding each other, Wu Youzhe regained some composure and said, “Wait, this is a TV station. Are you a staff member here?”

Without a word, Lu Chenbi turned and ran away. Wu Youzhe was startled and exclaimed, “What’s going on? Why did he run away?”

Shu You shook his head. “I don’t feel like this person is a fan.”

“But that’s impossible…”

Wu Youzhe refused to believe the cruel reality. “I’m a professional agent. I can recognize fans and paparazzi at a glance.”

Shu You suspected that Wu Youzhe was too eager to make a comeback that he had blinded himself.

The lunch break was over, and the production team continued filming.

Fu Xiaoxing waited for Lu Chenbi’s follow-up, but he didn’t receive any calls or messages. He even claimed he was using a global phone!

Watching Shu You return to the team like nothing happened, she called Lu Chenbi again. This time the call got through, but all she heard was, “I have urgent matters to attend to, I have to go now!”

Fu Xiaoxing: !!!

…

The filming went smoothly, and as the sun set, Shu You happily went to claim his prize.

The production team helped him with the procedures and offered to deliver the prize to his doorstep. Shu You filled out his address, and Wu Youzhe suggested they have dinner together to celebrate his first job.

“That’s not possible.”

Shu You said seriously, “I promised my boyfriend that I would have dinner with him tonight.”

Although his boyfriend still hasn’t replied to whether or not he wants to have hot pot.

Wu Youzhe looked at him with a complicated expression. “…You really like him, don’t you?”

“Of course,” Shu You nodded vigorously. “I wouldn’t know how to live without him.”

Wu Youzhe: “…”

Shu You hummed a song and went to the market to buy a bunch of ingredients, then squeezed onto the last bus. By the time he got to the entrance of his apartment complex, it was already dark.

As he walked into the hallway, a figure suddenly rushed out. “Shu You!”

Shu You almost dropped the plastic bag in his hand. He looked closer and saw that the person was well-dressed and familiar. Huh? Why did he have to say it again?

The voice-activated lights in the hallway suddenly turned on, and Shu You recognized the person. “Lu Chenbi?”

“What are you doing here?”

As soon as Lu Chenbi left the TV station, he changed his clothes and came here to wait for Shu You. He felt it was necessary to clear his name. “I’m here to tell you that I don’t like Lin Mingxu.”

“Oh…” Shu You remembered what happened last time and chuckled. “I know.”

“I also didn’t pay much attention to him.”

Shu You nodded knowingly. “Okay, I understand.”

Lu Chenbi suddenly became suspicious: Was it that easy?

He tossed and turned at night, contacting several female stars to prove his taste, and almost went to see a psychologist.

Shu You sighed. “You don’t have to deceive yourself like this.”

Lu Chenbi: ???

He started to have a bad feeling, and then Shu You said in a low voice, “You said you don’t pay attention to him, don’t like him, but you came here to steal him from me.”

“Just imagine, if I wasn’t Lin Mingxu’s boyfriend, would you be so proactive?”

Lu Chenbi was dumbfounded: “Uh, maybe not.”

No, that’s not right!

He almost fell into the same trap again!

Lu Chenbi had gone through a mental breakdown and a reconstruction of his values, so he wasn’t so easily defeated. He stubbornly said, “I didn’t, I don’t, don’t make wild accusations…”

fter experiencing a collapse and reshaping his worldview, Lu Chenbi was not easily defeated. He stubbornly spoke up, “I didn’t do it, I didn’t say that. Don’t make things up.”

“I hate Lin Mingxu and like you. That’s why…”

“That’s why I think you shouldn’t be with him!” Yes, that’s right!

Lu Chenbi regained his thoughts and calmed himself down, showing a little ambiguity, “Shu You, I don’t believe everything you said to me at the bar was just anger.”

“Ling Mingxu can’t give you anything now. You should plan more for yourself. This is also for your own good.”

He is aware that he is not as good as Lin Mingxu (PS, the current Lin Mingxu) in every aspect, at least he can offer the glory and wealth that Shu You desires. Now that Lin Mingxu is not around, Lu Chenbi eagerly awaits Shu You’s answer, but unexpectedly, Shu You nods and says, “I understand.”

… Understand?

Lu Chenbi furrows his brow, as this doesn’t seem like the response he was hoping for.

Shu You continues, “It’s just a case of saying one thing and meaning another. You don’t want to admit that you like Lin Mingxu.”

“But give up on the idea that I will leave Lin Mingxu.”

“Why?”

Lu Chenbi eagerly asks, “What is it about Lin Mingxu that I am lacking?”

Shu You slowly looks him up and down, with a slow, meaningful gaze.

“Lin Mingxu is taller than you and better looking than you.”

Lu Chenbi feels a pang in his heart.

“Lin Mingxu is more talented and has a more outstanding temperament than you.”

Lu Chenbi’s heart starts to ache.

“Lin Mingxu is also a good person and has better morals than you.”

Lu Chenbi’s heart is bleeding.

“Also,” Shu You suddenly lowers his voice and says mysteriously, “he has a unique and special identity that the vast majority of people do not have.”

“What is it?”

Lu Chenbi’s desire for both strength and curiosity clash, but his curiosity wins. He hurriedly asks, “What identity? How come I don’t know about it?”

“It’s normal that you don’t know.”

Shu You raises his chin with a sense of superiority, “Didn’t you say you don’t like him?”

“Yes, yes.”

Lu Chenbi nods unconsciously, but still doesn’t understand what Shu You means, “Do I have to like him to know his identity?”

“Yes.”

Shu You seriously says, “If you don’t like him, you won’t know enough about him, so you won’t know his identity.”

Lu Chenbi is completely confused.

He carefully considers what mysterious identity Lin Mingxu could have that he doesn’t even know about, and has a vague feeling that it’s not the answer he wants. While they are talking back and forth, a figure walks into the hallway. When he sees someone ahead, he hesitates slightly before walking over.

As he gets closer, Shu You notices and turns his head. He suddenly jumps, and raises his hands holding the supermarket plastic bags, “Lin Mingxu, let me explain!”

“We are not having an affair, this is a meeting between rivals, asserting our dominance!”

Lin Mingxu: …………………..
