The big star has a prince syndrome

a month ago.

Ye Yan was invited to attend Ji Yunzhi's private party to celebrate his nomination for Best Actor.

Many celebrities attended the party that night, all of whom were Ji Yunzhi's friends in the circle. In order to protect public figures, he did not invite friends outside the entertainment circle. All those present were well-known artists, and the scene was star-studded.

Ye Yan was the most eye-catching person at the party, but it wasn't because he was dressed ostentatiously. He was actually only wearing a simple black sports suit and had smooth hair. He was so low-key that he looked like he was out for a night run.

The reason why he is eye-catching is purely because of his star brilliance. He is the youngest actor to win the Best Actor award in the entertainment industry and the top star with the highest traffic. He is simply a god-like existence among the younger generation.

It was that night that Ji Yunzhi made a request to him that he did not want to agree to.

"Are you interested in filming a TV series? I recently heard about a good script, and I think it would be great if we could work together."

"Oh? What subject? If I'm interested, I can consider it."

Ye Yan was very considerate. There was not much difference in age between him and Ji Yunzhi, who was only three years older than him. He was the most popular ancient costume male god in the entertainment industry. He was equally handsome and had good acting skills. He and Ye Yan were both shining in the TV drama and film circles, and they were like ceiling figures.

The two of them were friends, at least until the end of today's party.

"For a two-male lead drama, I don't want to hype it up with anyone else, especially a male-male couple. But if it's you, I have no problem with it."

For some reason, Ye Yan heard a hint in his words. It would have been fine if he didn't understand, but once he understood, he started to feel uncomfortable.

"That's not necessary. I still like my name to be a separate entity. I don't want to be associated with any couple. You know, I even play games solo. If we collaborate on that kind of subject matter, it's hard not to say that I relied on you to enter the TV industry. You know my personality. I hate being questioned."

His assertiveness was the rebelliousness that a 25-year-old should have. He refused and began to feel uneasy because he felt that Ji Yunzhi's eyes were not just about inviting him to cooperate, but also had some unspeakable hidden meaning.

"Aren't you afraid that the media will link you and Gong Yufei together? Sunset is also a two-man show, right?"

Ji Yunzhi hasn't given up yet, but his mood is obviously a little low.

"He and I are brothers, so it's different, right? Is the script you mentioned also about brothers?"

Ye Yan asked back in her soul, and Ji Yunzhi immediately lowered his head in embarrassment.

“That’s not the case.”

"That's fine. I respect personal relationships. To me, friends are just friends. If someone insists on marketing us as a couple, I'm afraid if I suddenly meet someone I like one day, wouldn't that be unfair to them?"

Ye Yan smiled, then looked at her watch and put the juice back on the glass table.

"Then how can you be sure that person can't be..."

"Sorry, I have to go. It's getting late and I'm afraid of paparazzi following my car. You guys can catch up slowly. Goodbye."

Ye Yan interrupted Ji Yunzhi and stood up and left without even waiting for Ji Yunzhi to catch up and see him off.

Because there were many friends present, Ji Yunzhi could only watch him leave helplessly, then he drank the champagne in the glass in one gulp with resentment in his eyes.

From that day on, Ye Yan began to deliberately distance herself from Ji Yunzhi, not wanting to give Ji Yunzhi the opportunity to directly say the four words "I like you".

But Ji Yunzhi treated him completely the opposite, as if he was slowly launching a "pursuit" offensive.

Ji Yunzhi only found out about his leg injury after seeing the crew's apology statement online. Since he didn't know where he lived, he ordered a bouquet of flowers to be sent to his company.

Since Ye Yan was still recuperating, Tan Zhuoxi could only take a photo and send it to Ye Yan after receiving the card: flowers sent by Ji Yunzhi, and the card said "I wish you a speedy recovery."

However, Ye Yan did not see his message immediately. When Xu Qingran rushed to his house with seafood wontons, he was still asleep.

Xu Qingran entered the room by entering the password himself, and was surprised to see him sleeping on the sofa.

A thin figure wrapped in a blanket curled up on the sofa. Usually, he would be the center of attention among thousands of people, but now he was so small and inconspicuous in the middle of his huge living room.

Xu Qingran placed the wontons on the table, then walked over to him, leaned over, patted his shoulder, and whispered, "Boss? Boss?"

Ye Yan opened her eyes sleepily, then slowly closed them again when she saw it was him. She said lazily, "Fortunately...it seems there wasn't any major problem with the driving."

"Ah, why are you sleeping on the sofa?" Xu Qingran didn't understand. It was a bit willful to sleep in the living room in such a big house.

"It doesn't matter where we sleep anyway, so help me get up and go wash my face and brush my teeth."

Ye Yan stretched out her hand to him, and Xu Qingran immediately stepped forward to help him up: "How about I bring it over to you to wash?"

“Is there a possibility that I still want to go to the toilet when I wake up in the morning?”

Ye Yan was speechless, thinking, I'm not disabled, do my injuries look that serious?

"I was inconsiderate, please bear with me."

Xu Qingran smiled awkwardly, took Ye Yan's arm, pulled her up and slowly walked towards the bathroom.

Ye Yan couldn't fully exert force on that foot, and the pain and swelling were very obvious when he walked. The living room was large, so walking was very difficult for him. Seeing this, Xu Qingran decisively walked in front of him and half-knelt to watch.

"You're walking too slowly. I'll carry you to save some time."

Ye Yan was stunned. After a moment, she climbed onto his shoulders and silently lay on his back.

It felt strange because this was the first time since he was an adult that someone had carried him, except for his childhood.

Ye Yan stared at the back of his head in a daze, without thinking about anything else, but her ears suddenly turned red for no reason.

After Xu Qingran put Ye Yan into the bathroom, he stood at the door waiting for him to come out until the sound of water stopped. After Ye Yan opened the door, he picked him up and carried him to the dining table without saying a word.

The incident happened suddenly, and Ye Yan was so frightened that she suddenly hooked her arm around his neck and asked, "Why are you hugging me?"

"It's easy. I just carried you on my back and noticed you were very light. Eat quickly. Every grain is distinct and there are no lumps."

Such an intimate action was not at all ambiguous. Xu Qingran put him on the chair and opened the lunch box and placed it in front of him.

It turned out to be freshly cooked, but Ye Yan no longer cared about the chaos in her mind. She was completely confused by his behavior.

Seeing his ears were red, Xu Qingran asked with concern: "Boss, your ears are so red, don't you have a fever?"

"Ah?" Ye Yan was puzzled. She subconsciously raised her hand to touch her ear. When she felt it was hot, she pretended to be calm and picked up the chopsticks and pulled the lunch box over.

"It's just a normal physiological reaction. I don't have a fever. Have you eaten?" He argued, then picked up a piece of wonton and stuffed it into his mouth, but in his heart he was wondering what was going on.

Am I so lacking in love that I'm even attracted by the special actions of my male assistant?

How is it possible? Even the most handsome guy in Asia can't attract me. Xu Qingran... Okay, he's not bad, but that's not normal, okay? I'm not a handsome guy...

Ye Yan was rarely nervous and suspected that she was sick because of Xu Qingran.

"Well, I've eaten bread and milk at home. Um, is there anything else I can do? I've only been on the job for two days, and I still need my boss's reminders on many things."

Xu Qingran smiled warmly, like an older brother next door. His attitude was quite upright, and he was not lazy just because of his youthful recklessness. One could tell at a glance that he was a filial and humorous son at home.

Ye Yan had seen a lot of intrigues and scheming in the entertainment industry, and it had been a long time since he had seen such a pure smile that came from the heart. Even though this guy was the same age as him, Ye Yan still felt that he was like a younger brother, a little less mature.

"You're an assistant, not a babysitter. You don't need to find work. Besides, we're all the same age. You don't have to be so reserved. Just treat this place like your own. Where are my car keys?"

"As for the car keys, I put them on the shoe cabinet in the entrance hall so you can grab them when you go out. What do you want for lunch? I'll prepare it in advance... No, I'll take it out and thaw it in advance."

Xu Qingran almost let the cat out of the bag but changed the subject in time, and Ye Yan didn't hear anything.

But when he said he wanted to make lunch, Ye Yan immediately refused: "No need, you can go out and buy it when the time comes. Can you help me get my phone?"

Ye Yan then remembered that he had not checked his phone since getting up, and didn't know if his name was on today's entertainment list.

After getting the phone, Ye Yan read the message sent by Tan Zhuoxi and casually clicked on the large picture of flowers.

Xu Qingran, who was standing next to him, accidentally glanced at his phone screen and asked curiously, "Is this a gift from a fan?"

"No, Ji Yunzhi sent me there. He saw the news and knew that my foot was injured."

Ye Yan answered truthfully, without any particular reaction, and put down her phone to continue eating wontons.

He showed no extra expression towards the bouquet of flowers, just like the indifference he had when he saw Ji Yunzhi.

Xu Qingran was becoming increasingly curious about their relationship, thinking that Ji Yunzhi was too narrow-minded. Even after she'd clearly rejected him, he still sent her flowers. Wasn't that just putting pressure on her? It turns out even big stars can be persistent. As expected, none of them can live up to their character...

He didn't dare say these words out loud, as it would make him look like a jealous keyboard warrior.

After Ye Yan finished eating the wontons, he returned to the sofa and continued to lie flat on his legs. When Xu Qingran poured him some water and medicine, he couldn't help but ask a question.

"Boss, I see you're deliberately keeping your distance from Ji Yunzhi, and he's still trying to be nice to you. Won't the company help you solve this problem?"

"This kind of thing is usually handled by assistants. Do you want to help me solve it?"

Ye Yan looked at him and joked, which scared Xu Qingran so much that he almost took it seriously.

"No way? I can't do that... So boss, are you single?"

Xu Qingran's gossipy spirit suddenly emerged. He didn't expect that he could talk about everything from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean. The smile on Ye Yan's face ended instantly.

"Nonsense... I'm injured and no one comes to see me at home, how can I not be single?"

Ye Yan was speechless, thinking to herself, "You have no sense at all. Your beauty is definitely due to your heart. But why did he suddenly ask this? Could it be that he suspects that I am having an affair with Ji Yunzhi?"
