The Villain Runs Wild

Ch 52 - Newest Top Celebrity x Washed Up Film Emperor: A Plaything To Pass The Time With
 

Second ko-fi chapter for cider ~

Lin Sui, seemingly not having seen Yan Qin’s hidden worries, gazed at the vast and distant sky.

He wouldn’t kick Yan Qin away for now, his plan would still need a long time to come to pass.

Time was always one of the scales used to measure emotion, as if staying by a person’s side for long enough would be like being able to reach perfection.

Inside the movie, the story continued. Everyone tried to relax and have fun outside of filming as much as possible to avoid being depressed and in a heavy mood all the time.

The housewife was the one who died on the fifth night, and the man in the suit was the one who did it, but on the sixth night, the man in the suit died.

He had been killed by Ying Ting. Ying Ting was still troubled from thinking about the thing with him and Xing Yu, which clearly showed his abnormal possessiveness.

On the seventh night, the student died, but his cause of death was not the same as that of the others. He had killed himself.

The youth was a person who lived under a lot of pressure, people at home urged him to study incessantly, to the point that he had no choice but to keep moving forward. Sometimes he would be criticised for several days because of dropping down a few names in the ranks so that he couldn’t lift his head up, he would still continue to study, but he would need medication to fall asleep.

He entered this life and death game under that kind of psychological state, and after experiencing seeing people dying and not helping, as well the behaviour of returning kindness with enmity, he developed an unsuppressed moral self-condemnation. Plus, with the threat of death on top of that, everything overwhelmed him, so when the others were planning on how to kill him, he chose to kill himself.

As the twelfth night drew nearer, there were five people left alive in the game.

Xing Yu, Ying Ting, the big sister, the lanky young man, and the girl. The girl knew that she was alone, so she quickly ran away every time trying to avoid meeting the others.

On the eighth night, the girl died. She been surrounded by the big sister and the lanky young man.

In the end, it felt like there were two armies facing each other, the big sister and the lanky young man tended to be on the defensive, hiding away inside the limited space.

Xing Yu didn’t take the initiative to attack with Ying Ting, but rather smiled and asked Ying Ting if he wanted to make a bet.

He bet on who the ‘cleaner’ would kill if nobody died tonight, and on when he would appear.

“If he only uses poison, then there’s nothing to be afraid of.”

The young man had already completely stopped pretending to be weak, he leaned on Ying Ting shoulder and played with his hair.

“Okay.”

Ying Ting nodded and agreed, unconditionally obedient.

That look made one suspect that, in the end, he would agree even if Xing Yu wanted him to kill himself.

The night came, and all was silent.

The director shot a close-up, the vague shadow of a person and a murder weapon dripping blood.

On the tenth day, when the big sister opened her eyes, she found that the lanky young man laying next to her was dead.

The perpetrator lurking in the shadows looked at them like sheep waiting to be slaughtered, and could end their lives at any time.

The big sister didn’t even dare go out to get food, she just changed hiding place and looked at the ever-narrowing existing space with a little despair.

She climbed up the ventilation duct and travelled all over the place, but in the end was still dragged out by the feet.

As day arrived on the eleventh day, there were two people left in this game.

After filming the last few scenes, Lin Sui and Yan Qin could wrap-up.

The difficulty of this film was actually in the post-production and editing, it had only been two months since they joined the cast until now.

If the neighbouring Liu Buqun knew about this time and efficiency, he would probably weep on the Hunagpu river and start singing The Sad Pacific on the spot.

In between filming, Yan Qin indirectly asked Lin Sui: “Do you have a plan for the next project? If not, I have another invitation…”

“Reject it.”

Lin Sui frowned faintly, a little annoyed.

“Okay.”

Yan Qin couldn’t stop the corners of his mouth from rising, looking reassured.

Hearing this conversation, Fu Nai, who’d come to check-in on the workplace, looked at Yan Qin with some confusion.

Wasn’t that a really rude request? Does this person have an unusual hobby?

After adjusting the cameras, the final chapter was announced.

Under different circumstances, the person who survived to the twelfth night would have to face the ‘cleaner’, but Xing Yu and Ying Ting were going to deal with it on the eleventh night.

According to their agreement, they waited for the arrival of the ‘cleaner’ together.

As the night grew darker, the lights in the venue dimmed.

The small rusty window let out a screeching sound as it was moved, and the good-looking young man climbed up the man’s back and kissed his neck.

It seemed to be a vague, ambiguous merriment before the departure of unknown life or death that was to come, but the two slender needles hidden between his fingers glinted coldly under the dim light.

He softly muttered: “I still really like you.”

As he about to plunge them in, Ying Ting turned around and held Xing Yu in his arms.

This seemed to be the selfish, crazed young man attacking his companion for one last chance.

There was the faint sound of something piercing into flesh, and the two still held each other tightly. When they parted, the young man’s face was strangely pale, his eyes serene and deep as he looked at the man who always acted with fanatical affection for him.

The old man’s knife was in the man’s hands, stained with blood.

The blood had splattered during the process of plunging in, twisting, and pulling out.

Ying Ting looked at his beloved apologetically, crouching in front of him.

“I also really like you.”

He still had that silent, loving appearance, no different from how he was on the first night.

The astonishment on Xing Yu’s face was clear to see, he probably hadn’t expected to die under the hands of his own fanatical suitor.

But this was the complex human nature, some people could choose to die for love, but others would choose to survive.

The young man died silently on the eleventh night, but he still had an elegant and beautiful appearance, the corners of his lips raised into a smile.

“Pass! Let’s fix the makeup for the last scene!”

The director shouted into the loudspeaker, and everyone hurried off in an orderly manner.

Lin Sui stood on the spot and let the makeup artist fix his makeup, and threw away the blood bag that was on his body.

The director was talking to the head cameraman as Yan Qin walked next to Lin Sui.

The back of Lin Sui’s clothes were still stained with blood, but it didn’t matter, he only needed to reveal his front for the finale.

“I didn’t hurt you just now, did I?”

Lin Sui’s blood bag had been tied at his lower back, and the knife in Yan Qin’s hand would retract when it was plunged in, so he had to use a bit of force to pierce the bag.

“Do I seem that fragile?”

The young man looked unhappy but, in Yan Qin’s eyes, it seemed like he was acting spoiled instead.

The longer they interacted, the more Yan Qin thought he was cute. Even though if he was still as arrogant and disdainful as before, Yan Qin thought his proud and irreverent bearing was particularly charming.

Yan Qin’s assistant stood nearby with a numb heart, unmoved when she heard people whispering that her boss was Lin Sui’s simp.

Because it really looked like he was a simp, fawning over him both in and outside of their work.

The finale began along with the sound of the clapperboard.

On the twelfth night, Ying Ting didn’t wait for the cleaner.

The screen on the first floor had the words ‘current survivors: 1’ written on it, plus a congratulatory smiley face.

Ying Ting followed the lights on the device and walked deeper into the place.

He didn’t lower his guard, his expression grave as he guarded against shifts in his surroundings.

Surprisingly, there were no traps along the way. As Ying Ting slowly crossed the raised main door, he saw the end room.

Ying Ting carefully walked towards the room and kicked the door open. The inside seemed like a security room, he could see the layout of the entire prison at a glance, but the place was empty, there was no other person there.

At that moment, Ying Ting discovered the metal door behind him had closed. It was the only way out of the room.

But that door was the only way into the room, Ying Ting hit the walls looking for a hidden door and didn’t notice a fog spreading into the room.

Ying Ting looked through a drawer and found something, his expression changing to shock.

It was a photo, the photo depicted a beautiful young man with a slight smile on his lips, exactly the same as he had looked when he died.

The poison gas spread, Ying Ting struggled and collapsed.

From Ying Tin’s angle of sight, he seemed to be vaguely able to see a young man standing nearby, calmly revealing a smile both beautiful and fake.

The photo fell from his hand and fluttered down, falling to the ground.

The numbers on the display screen jumped, current number of survivors: 0

“Pass! That’s a wrap!”

After the finale of “Twelve Nights”, just like the finale last time, Lin Sui and Yan Qin stayed together again for three days.

Since they hadn’t fully enjoyed themselves while in the cast, they had no worries about lowering their voice.

Lin Sui didn’t immediately take on a new script, but rather put out a few announcements and attended a few evening parties.

Exposure was very important, Fu Nai bought an article about a party to brag about Lin Sui’s golden age, but hesitated a bit when seeing a certain term.

“Do we really not need to break it off? The CP fans for you and Yan Qin are getting more and more powerful.”

“Don’t worry about it.”

Yan returns to Lin had gained some popularity again, since the crime drama Yan Qin had filmed before and the guest appearance Lin Sui had made in the idol drama had aired one after the other, an uploader had taken clips from “The Stand-In” and those two works and edited them together, and the clickthrough rate had been very high.

@Yan Yan Hand In Hand: Damn you’re really good at editing! In our last life, you were a famous actor who suffered all kinds of wrongs and I was a righteous detective, I regretted everything after you died, in this life, I am a malignant agent in a crime drama and you became a big star, you’re not anybody’s stand-in, you are just yourself!

@Yan Returns To Lin Is Tru: Wu this sugar is so sweet it makes me upset, sisters, it’s better to combine the ship with the modern world. Recently, “Twelve Nights” finished filming, so they’ll surely have even more combinations. I hear there was a scene in the movie where their feelings were very straightforward, so let’s watch it an cherish it in case they stop working together to avoid rousing suspicion!

@It’s Suisui Ya: The ship is so good it goes straight to my head, it doesn’t matter if it’s the CP’s face or attractiveness index or temperament it all tickles me so, I like the strong beauty being hooked this way and that way by the loyal dog too much, the unstoppable feelings of wanting to become your dog and wanting to become your master, I order you to make love for a lifetime!

Yan Qin firmly gave this comment a like, Suisui was really good at speaking, so he worked had to like and repost, and to like every comment talking about how he and Lin Sui were a good match.

After “Twelve Nights” was broadcast, everyone went mad, and the YanLin CP became the trendiest CP with especially powerful numbers.

CP fans cheered when they found out Yan Qin and Lin Sui had continued to work together, but after the third and fourth times they worked together, they began to feel a little agitated.

@Suisui Kiss Qinqin: No way, is this an indifferent bromance or are they real? These two are not worried at all, this is the first time the sugar for a ship has been so sweet, so sweet it’s making me a little afraid.

@Abandoned Dog Self: The marketing accounts have all made allegations that those two have been together for a very long time, the paparazzi have also photographed them going in and out of the same places many times, this is basically tacit agreement, right?

@I’m Hungry Oh: Aren’t there still some allegations that the two of them got married abroad? Although there is no proof, now with the secret marriage thing I feel like the love is pretty much real, and some of Lin Sui’s girlfriend fans have left or become face fans or CP fans.

Inside the industry, these opinions raised a dust, even Yu Yushuo heard about them, so he made a call at once.

“Godfather, I’m not dating.”

Lin Sui held his phone, and absent-mindedly drew circles on Yan Qin’s arm with his finger.

At this moment, he was leaning against Yan Qin’s arms, his expression lazy.

Yan Qin’s body stiffened, and he silently looked at Lin Sui’s neck.

He was a little hurt, even though the knew he and Lin Sui were not in a romantic relationship, he thought his slow efforts had paid off.

He and Lin Sui had been in this relationship for almost two years already, he never saw other people by Lin Sui’s side, nor had he ever seen him treat someone gently, Lin Sui had acquiesced to his incursion into his domain and he never got angry at his occasional requests and stubbornness. When he was absent-minded, that ambiguous tenderness made him feel like he and Lin Sui had already been together for a very long time.

Could a person’s heart really be so cold and stiff? Lin Sui was in his arms, but he could still deny everything so easily.

Yu Yushuo’s straightforward voice could be heard from the phone: “Then what’s going on with you and Yan Qin? The rumours seem true.”

“He’s just a plaything to pass the time with.”

His red tongue moved between his teeth alongside his opening and closing lips, and his words fell deftly.

The preliminary preparations were done, it was now time to begin his plan.
