Get Demoted Into Cannon Fodder

Arc 4.6

Si Yun softly replied yes and then the two danced. Afterward, the two got separated and Du Zhu retreated into the crowd causing Si Yun to lose sight of him.

She then looked for him and finally found him.
 
‘’Cut!’’

Right after his cue, everyone clapped their hands in admiration for Du Zhu, especially the female staff.

The Director nodded his head in approval. The result was in line with what he had in mind.

It was so much so that he felt no need to watch the next performer.

This thought just resurfaced and the director suddenly spotted a tall slender man in the same black tuxedo with his face fully covered by a silver mask coming his way.

Unlike Du Zhu's wild charms, the man who appeared before him was neatly dressed, and his walking gait was elegant and full of discipline like a true aristocrat.
 
The director was shocked by his outstanding presence.
 
‘’Director, can I improvise?’’
 
The Director promptly snapped back to his senses and nodded his head. Shi Shen expressed his thanks and went to discuss with Si Yun before getting into his position.

In contrast to Du Zhu, Shi Shen sat down in an upright posture as he crossed his long slender legs. He absentmindedly swirled the glass filled with red wine in his right hand while looking ahead with no one particular in sight.

Then all of a sudden, his right hand abruptly halted as if his attention were suddenly caught by something.

With his eyes still fixed in that direction, he rested the glass on top of the table and got up. As he buttoned up his suit jacket, he slowly made his way into the crowd.

Si Yun looked over from across the room and witnessed the tall mysterious man walk in her direction causing her to be rooted in her spot.

Time seemed to slow down and her heart was suddenly filled with a hint of excitement and nervousness.

With every step he took it was as if that pair of black leather shoes didn't hit the floor but rather stepped on her heart.

Si Yun unconsciously held her breath eagerly waiting for the other person's arrival.

At her reaction, even she found the situation a bit incredulous. In terms of height and physique, Du Zhu was taller and more masculine.

Her first impression of Ye Xie was that of a pretty boy. His body was rather slim which looked quite thin and frail.

She thought he couldn't stand a chance against an adult man like Du Zhu.

Yet, at this moment, she realized that she was wrong.
 
With Du Zhu, she felt like a new plaything that aroused the infamous playboy's interest.

Ye Xie, however, gave her a completely different feeling.

Amid the bustling crowd filled with wine, laughter, and ambiguous fragrances in the air, he seemed so out of place as if nothing could pollute and taint his noble aura.
 
And the moment this kind of unapproachable man suddenly laid his eyes on her, she felt immensely proud and flattered.

The waiting was finally over and the mysterious man arrived in front of her. With his left hand put behind his back, he extended his right hand in front of her.

In the meantime, his pair of profound Phoenix eyes never left her face which caused Si Yun's legs to almost go weak.

Fortunately, she managed to pull herself together and put her hand on top of his palm covered in the white glove.

The man gently enclosed his fingers looking like he was holding something endearing and extremely fragile.
 
Shi Shen pulled Si Yun closer to his body and rested his other hand on her waist. Si Yun followed his lead and the two put on an amazing show making others temporarily forget that they were shooting an ad, not a film.
 
Watching from the sideline, Du Zhu's confident smile had long been erased from his face. Clenching his fists tightly, he continued to comfort himself saying that the moment the other party took off his mask, this mirage would instantly break.

Unfortunately, he was gravely mistaken. Du Zhu regrettably realized later on that he would stand a much better chance if Shi Shen's face remained hidden.

‘’It was you, right?’’
 
Si Yun happily took off her mask and said in a confident tone. Without waiting for his answer, she bent down while slightly lifting the hem of her dress.

‘’May I have another dance?’’

The man said nothing in return. He slowly removed the silver mask and his face was finally revealed.
 
The face hidden underneath the mask was extremely beautiful arousing countless gasps from the bystanders.

Shi Shen had his front bang pushed back revealing his prominent forehead. He was thin but not skinny. The tuxedo tightly hugged his body perfectly outlining his muscle and well-proportioned body.

His expression was stern and indifferent, his gaze was sharp and piercing. His momentum was so strong that others didn't dare to breathe in his presence.
 
The contrast between his current appearance and previous image was too big that it left a great impact on the audience. 

Just when everyone was spellbound by his extraordinary looks, the corner of Shi Shen's lips suddenly hooked into a slight smile almost making everyone to collapse on the spot from this explosive visual impact.

From the beginning to the end, not a single word was spoken by Shi Shen.
 
And yet, he delivered the message.

The author has something to say:

Now, understand why I said Ml's scenes decreased?

I have never written Entertainment Industry before so I am a bit absorbed in the setting which was why ML's scenes get decreased and you get a fast update.

But I already emptied the stockpile chapters so.....

Pray.
