Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug

"So, Han, would you be interested in becoming an actor?"

Ji Han... He thought this director came over just to freeload, how did it escalate to the point of asking him to be an actor?

"Um, I'm sorry, Director, I'm not a professionally trained actor, and I have no intention of pursuing an acting career, so..."

Ji Han wondered if he had been too tactful in his refusal, because Jackson seemed not to understand. No! Perhaps he did understand, but he was just determined to get what he wanted.

On this film set, a director's presence is far more noticeable than a cook's, so their situation quickly attracted attention, and Shi Shaoyu, hearing the commotion, hurried over.

However, he didn't expect that as soon as he got to the RV, before he could even figure out what was going on, the sharp-eyed Jackson pulled him aside and rattled off a bunch of things, the gist of which was that he had to persuade Ji Han to participate in their movie.

If Ji Han remembers correctly, the movie Shi Shaoyu is currently filming is a science fiction film. He really doesn't know why Jackson insisted on casting him as a cook in it.

Compared to Ji Han's bewilderment, the other actors were even more confused, because the character was not originally in the script. It could be said that the character was something that director Jackson came up with on a whim.

Ji Han didn't know what Jackson and Shi Shaoyu talked about, but when Shi Shaoyu came over, he had a pitiful expression on his face. When Ji Han saw this, how could he possibly resist?

Film it! We absolutely have to film it! It's just a cook! They'd film him even if he played a Muggle!

Indeed, it's hardest to resist a honey trap!

As soon as Ji Han nodded in agreement, Jackson immediately had someone prepare the contract, as if afraid that Ji Han would run away if he was a second late. Ji Han did not sign with an agency, but fortunately there was Shi Shaoyu next to him, so his contract was directly handed over to Sister Man.

Since arriving abroad, Sister Man has been acting rather elusive, but thankfully she's reliable enough. Ji Han just called her, and in less than half an hour she was already sitting down with the director to discuss contract details.

Ji Han, as a newcomer, certainly wouldn't earn a high salary. But then again, as an internationally renowned director, Jackson has countless people around the world willing to pay to join his crew. For a complete novice like Ji Han to not only get into the crew but also receive a commission is already extremely rare.

After the contract was signed, Ji Han's health-preserving soup business was forced to close down, causing the entire crew to complain. As a result, Jackson lost his temper much less often, fearing that everyone would either explode in silence or explode in silence.

Ji Han originally thought that he, as a minor character added at the last minute, could finish filming all his scenes in less than a day. Who knew, who knew, that although his scenes were indeed few, Jackson's requirements were exceptionally strict.

Ji Han filmed the simple act of chopping vegetables from morning till night. When he returned to the RV at night, even with his excellent physical condition, he felt that his wrists, arms, and even his entire shoulders were no longer his own.

Ji Han even suspected that the investors had given Jackson too much money for the movie, making him a little overspend. Otherwise, how could he have spent a whole day filming just one scene?

I don't understand, I really don't understand.

That evening, when Ji Han told Shi Shaoyu about his doubts, Shi Shaoyu looked at Ji Han with amusement.

"My silly Ah Han, do you think a director of Jackson's caliber would lack money when making movies?"

Ji Han's role is actually quite simple. In the show, he is a strong, beautiful, and incredibly skilled "white moonlight" (a term of endearment for a female protagonist). Before the advent of the technological era, he died in a robot attack while trying to save the male protagonist. His delicious cooking became an irreplaceable memory for the male protagonist.

Ji Han thought that this kind of "white moonlight" plot was only popular in China, but he didn't expect that it was still the same abroad. Ji Han filmed just a few scenes, again and again. When his scenes were finally over, Ji Han stayed in the RV for three days without going out. He was really scared.

Indeed, every profession is difficult!

What Ji Han didn't expect was that even after he went to film movies and stopped making medicinal cuisine, someone still insisted on sending him flowers, and that person was the male lead of the movie.

Looking into the other person's amber eyes, which were filled with deep affection, Ji Han asked, puzzled.

"Cruise, what exactly do you like about me?"

Cruise continued to stare intently at Ji Han.

"Han, I love every inch of you, I love you to the point of obsession, I love you to the point of madness."

Ji Han... Ugh! I got goosebumps all over!

"Cruise, I feel like you should see a psychologist, really!"

"Actually, you don't like me; you're just sick!"

However, Cruise didn't care about Ji Han's rejection at all. Ever since Ji Han came abroad, he felt that there was something wrong with his language system. Otherwise, how come he couldn't understand human speech?

Cruise wasn't truly indifferent to Ji Han's feelings; at least he was a bit better than that director Jackson. That lousy director couldn't handle Ji Han, so he threatened Shi Shaoyu. But after Ji Han said he didn't like flowers, Cruise changed the gift he sent to various ingredients the next day.

They argued that since Ji Han loves cooking so much, he must like all kinds of high-end ingredients.

Ji Han... to be honest, after living through so many worlds, his Western cooking skills are really just so-so. And because of his personal life experiences, Cruise only sends various ingredients for Western cuisine. It would be a waste for Ji Han to handle these ingredients.

However, Cruise didn't care at all. All he cared about was giving out the gift. As for whether the recipient was happy or not, well, if they weren't happy, he'd keep giving it until they were.

Just as frustrated as Ji Han was Shi Shaoyu. No, Shi Shaoyu was actually even more frustrated than Ji Han. The high-intensity work every day had taken up most of his energy. After finally getting off work, all he wanted was to spend some quality time with Ji Han and let himself rest properly, both physically and mentally.

However, their beautiful moment was ruined by this Cruise!

Actually, at first, Ji Han saw that Shi Shaoyu was too tired from work every day and didn't tell Ji Han about Cruise pursuing him. But everyone was in the same film crew, and while everyone knew exactly what each person did every day, most things couldn't be hidden from the eyes of others, especially since Cruise had no intention of hiding anything.

So, amidst everyone's teasing, Shi Shaoyu actually knew more information than Ji Han did. For example, he knew who Cruise consulted for advice on the gift he gave Ji Han, and through what connections he obtained the ingredients...

That day, Shi Shaoyu filmed another long night scene. After returning to the RV, he hugged Ji Han tightly, burying himself in Ji Han's arms.

"Ahan, after I finish filming this movie, I'll announce my retirement from the entertainment industry!"

Hmm? Although Ji Han didn't know why Shi Shaoyu suddenly chose this time to retire from the entertainment industry, as his lover, all he needed to do was unconditionally support him.

“Sure! This is a resort world, so after you retire from the entertainment industry, you can run a charity and investment firm with me while traveling the world and enjoying life.”

As Shi Shaoyu's bedmate, Ji Han could sense that Shi Shaoyu's mental state had been somewhat off since arriving in this world. Of all the worlds before, Ji Han wouldn't say that everyone in every world was exceptionally beautiful, but Shi Shaoyu's appearance was certainly among the best.

Moreover, there are many people pursuing him in every world, and some are even willing to become his mistresses. Shi Shaoyu didn't care about these things before. Of course, one reason is the distance between their intertwined fates, but the most important reason is his confidence in himself and in Ji Han.

He believed he loved Ji Han more than anyone else, and he also believed that Ji Han was the same as him. Therefore, those suitors who appeared out of nowhere could only prove that he and Ji Han were both outstanding enough.

Since arriving in this world, Shi Shaoyu has become increasingly anxious and insecure. Ji Han is more inclined to believe that the mental trauma he experienced in the previous bizarre world was too great, causing him to develop an excessive dependence on himself.

He began to shut himself off emotionally, excluding everyone except Ji Han. He also demanded that Ji Han have no other romantic, familial, or platonic relationships that might distract him.

Ji Han wondered if he should take Shi Shaoyu to see a psychologist. After all, they had only lived a little longer than others, and they weren't truly omnipotent. For some professional knowledge that they hadn't encountered, they should consult more specialized people.

However, Shi Shaoyu is currently in a period of heightened emotional sensitivity, so the matter of seeing a psychologist cannot be mentioned to him for the time being, lest it backfire. Ji Han's current strategy for dealing with Shi Shaoyu is to nod in agreement and offer reassurance.

To put it more bluntly, it means unconditionally agreeing to any request from Shi Shaoyu, giving him a sense of security, and helping him build self-confidence in a timely manner.

Shi Shaoyu was unaware of Ji Han's true feelings at the moment. However, Ji Han's resolute agreement gradually calmed him down, and the actor who had just been determined to retire from the entertainment industry changed his mind after regaining his composure.

"Ahan, how about we just give up? We've almost used up all our system energy, and the returns on our investments aren't coming in anytime soon. We'd be a laughing stock if the charity fund ran out of money halfway through."

"So, after thinking about it, we still need to leverage my professional aura to generate more positive energy for now. Once the charity foundation can achieve a virtuous cycle, it won't be too late for me to retire from the industry. What do you think?"

Ji Han nodded in agreement as usual.

“Sure, Yu, don’t worry about the money. We have so much stuff in our two spaces. Buying a little bit will last us a long time. Like you said, as long as we hold out until the charity fund returns, the energy points will come, and completing the mission will be just a matter of time.”

"So, Yu, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Your happiness is the most important thing. If you're happy doing it, we'll keep doing it; if you're not happy, we'll stop."

"So, Ayu, do you like acting?"

Upon hearing Ji Han's question, Shi Shaoyu remained silent in Ji Han's arms for a long time. Perhaps the warmth of Ji Han's embrace gave him courage, or perhaps he had finally figured things out.

"Ahan, I've never acted before, and I don't know if I like acting, but I don't hate it."

Ji Han smiled with satisfaction and gently patted Shi Shaoyu's back.

“Ah Yu, since you don’t hate it, let’s keep doing it. When you really feel like you don’t want to be an actor anymore, or when you get tired of it, we can quit the industry. What do you say?”

Shi Shaoyu nestled in Ji Han's arms and gently nuzzled Ji Han's neck, a gesture that Ji Han knew was his way of agreeing.

To give Shi Shaoyu a sense of security, Ji Han rejected Cruise's advances in a very serious and straightforward manner the day after their conversation. Originally, they were both in the same film crew, and Ji Han only wanted to let things cool down and make the other party back down. Now it seems that it is necessary to cut the Gordian knot, even if it means falling out with the other party.

Cruise certainly sensed Ji Han's change in attitude, and the other party's ruthless rejection did indeed hurt his pride. Fortunately, he was a magnanimous man and did not treat the other party as an enemy after being harshly rejected.

Of course, this was Cruise's attitude towards Ji Han; towards Shi Shaoyu, Cruise was as cold as frost.

However, although Cruise's attitude made Shi Shaoyu's life on set a little more difficult, it also made him feel better. After all, the colder Cruise was to him, the deeper his love for him was.

As for the other people in the crew, who are they? What do they have to do with him? Just a bunch of strangers? And he's isolating them? He's isolating everyone except Ji Han!

Even later on, when Ji Han, who usually only stayed around the RV, felt the crew members becoming distant, Shi Shaoyu remained indifferent.

Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu stayed on the film set abroad for half a year. When they finally returned to China with their luggage, Ji Han was fine, but Shi Shaoyu was dark and thin. Anyone who didn't know better would think he had been sold to Africa to work in the mines!

In fact, Shi Shaoyu himself was fine. He said that his changes were a sign of becoming more manly. However, for his manager, Sister Man, it was a bolt from the blue.

The moment Shi Shaoyu got off the plane, Sister Man wrapped him up like a dumpling, determined to make sure that no one at the airport would recognize him. After sending the two of them back to their villa, she ordered them not to leave the house for a month.

The next day, Sister Man brought several people and a bunch of various tools. According to Sister Man herself, these people were the best beauticians in H City, whom she had found through connections at great expense, as well as the most high-end beauty equipment.

This month, these beauticians and beauty equipment have been living in this villa with Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu. They will only be able to leave seclusion when Shi Shaoyu regains his former handsome and charming appearance.
