The campus heartthrob and the school bully I ship are real!
Ji Wenyi, the heartthrob at School A, and Yun Longhe, the bully at School B, agreed to meet in the grove after school because of a mix-up involving a love letter.
As soon as they arrived, lightning struck, and the two were sent to an unknown space.
When they opened their eyes, more than a dozen cameras were pointed at them, filming furiously. The scrolling comments on the giant screen behind them looked just like the livestreams they usually watched. Had they transmigrated into a live broadcast?
“Okay, let me explain this scene. You need to act surprised, as if you didn't see it coming. You have one hour. All right, three, two, one, go!”
Dazed and confused, the two were pushed into a corner by the other actors on set. They watched as the actors rushed around frantically in front of the cameras, demonstrating what it meant to be surprised and caught off guard.
Yun Longhe: “They're putting in so much effort. Are they competing for an Oscar?”
Ji Wenyi: “Why is the atmosphere so tense?”
“Wow, the two new guys in the back are so handsome!”
“Everyone, we've got fresh faces! If these two pups don't do a great job, cut them some slack. I've got their backs!”
“Come on, get moving! Time's almost up. If you don't start filming, they'll skin you alive! Aren't you scared?”
Skin them alive? Skin them alive!
Only then did Yun Longhe notice that the paintings hanging on the walls were made of human skin. Real human skin.
He and Ji Wenyi had transmigrated, and right into a live broadcast?
Time was almost up. How were they supposed to act out this first scene?
Yun Longhe: “What does it mean to be caught off guard?”
Ji Wenyi: “Failing an exam would catch me off guard.”
Yun Longhe: “Wow, look, there's a perfect-score test paper behind you!”
Ji Wenyi turned around. There was nothing on the wall. When he turned back, Yun Longhe counted to three and kissed him.
The comments went wild!
“Ahhh! I'm dying!”
“I can die happy today!”
“6666! I'll give you a health bar, keep going!”
“Cut!”
The director projected a picture of the two kissing onto the public screen. In the photo, Ji Wenyi looked bewildered, helpless, flustered, and surprised. The two had portrayed being caught off guard to perfection, becoming the stars of the scene and earning a day off.
During that day, they learned the rules of the livestream room: if they failed to satisfy the viewers watching, they'd be skinned and disemboweled. To avoid becoming wall decorations, the two had no choice but to team up again and press forward together on the livestream.
“Old Ji, they say they want to see us being lovey-dovey.”
“Then let's have a massive fight.”
“Why?”
“Nothing makes a better next-episode preview than wanting someone you can't have.”
“That sounds pretty convincing. Tell me, whose hickey was that on your neck when you came home last night? Which dog bit you? I'm so good to you, and you went out looking for a dog? Am I not enough for you? Get over here. We're going to have a serious talk.”
“Are you possessed by a drama queen? You start the second I say go? Why are you taking off your belt? Put it back on!”
“Do I look like I'm acting?”
“Damn, you're serious? Fine, I've got plenty of anger to take out on someone, and you're practically asking for it. Don't say I didn't warn you.”
The comments were scrolling so fast they were impossible to look at...
“I'll pay! I'll donate my health bar! Get rid of the mosaic!”
“I'm signing a petition in blood: Director, give them a close-up, the kind that shows them in bed!”
“Heh heh heh. Now that's the good stuff.”
