"Sword Master?"

Yue Hong raised his head reflexively, "Huh?"

Jiang Jiamian: "..." Oops! He was just trying to trick him casually, but he didn't expect it to be true!

Jiang Jiamian twitched the corner of his mouth, pulled up a chair, and sat across from him, "Is it really you?"

Yue Hong realized that his reaction was wrong. He was shocked and subconsciously denied it, "You, what are you talking about? What kind of master?"

Here, he only knows that Jiang Jiamian in this world is the cannon fodder he wants to save this time.

However, this cannon fodder actually knew his former identity!?

Jiang Jiamian rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Brother, stop pretending. I am the Lone Commander." 

"What?" Yue Hong was stunned and lowered his voice subconsciously, "Really?"

Jiang Jiamian spread his hands, "Why would I lie to you?"

The rule for fast travelers is that they cannot reveal secrets related to fast travel to people in the small world, but there is no rule that they cannot reveal them to foreign souls who are also fast travelers.

Yue Hong wondered, "Since you are also a fast traveler, how come you became my mission target?"

"Mission target?" Jiang Jiamian was stunned, "I am your mission target? Are you also from the rescue team? Or is it a counterattack team, or a strategy team? Then what is your mission?"

Jiang Jiamian asked a series of questions, but Yue Hong quickly answered in four words concisely, "Rescue of cannon fodder."

Jiang Jiamian slumped down in his chair and sighed, "According to the plot, in this world, I am indeed a cannon fodder."

"I guess your mission is to save the original owner who I possessed." Jiang Jiamian said, "It just happened that we entered a world to do a mission at the same time, so I became the target of your mission."

Yue Hong's lips curled up, "It seems that my mission is completed already."

Jiang Jiamian knew the plot, and he was also a fast traveler, so there is no point in trying to save him.

No matter what the other party's mission is, he must first save himself.

Jiang Jiamian sighed, "Why can't I encounter such a good thing?"

When he said this, Yue Hong felt a little embarrassed, "What is your mission? My status in this world is better than yours. Maybe it can help."

Jiang Jiamian rolled his eyes, "Hey, you can really help me when you say that!"

In this world, the beautiful, powerful and miserable person he wants to save is a movie king.

Because he once belittled the protagonist's acting skills in public when he was a guest, he was remembered by both of the protagonists. The protagonist gong tried every means to get ahead of him.

However, the two people's backgrounds and statuses were comparable, and several overt and covert fights did not really damage one party's vitality.

Until the end, he doesn't know if it was prompted by the plot, but the actor Liao Yizhen was defeated. Not only was he banned from the entire network, but his company also closed down, he went bankrupt and had to go abroad.

But no matter how forcibly bleak the ending is, at this juncture, the other party is still looked up to by others and is an actor who has opened a company under his own name.

But he, Jiang Jiamian, was just a little star who had just debuted for two years and was titled a vase.

There is almost no chance to really get close to him.

"Best actor Liao Yizhen?" Yue Hong was startled, "Is this your mission target?"

"Ah, what's wrong?"

Jiang Jiamian didn't quite understand why Yue Hong was so surprised.

Yue Hong looked a little complicated, "You may not believe it. When you came in just now, I promised you that I would give you the best resources, and this resource happens to be related to Liao Yizhen." 

Jiang Jiamian was stunned, "What do you mean?"

Yue Hong said, "Before you came in, Fengyu sent an invitation letter, saying that they would choose two young actors from our company for a new movie they will be filming recently. They don't have enough people in their own company." 

"Fengyu..." Jiang Jiamian spoke the name subconsciously.

Yue Hong said directly, "It's Liao Yizhen's company."

If he hadn't passed through, the original owner would not have dared to arrange for Jiang Jiamian, a vase with a showy appearance but poor acting skills, to go there in order not to offend Liao Yizhen.

When he crossed over, he originally wanted to use this resource in exchange for Jiang Jiamian, the cannon fodder, who promised not to go against the protagonist. Unexpectedly, by such a coincidence, Jiang Jiamian also crossed over!

"Mr. Liao."

The assistant knocked on the door, and when he came in, the expression on his face was a little ugly.

"What's wrong?"

Liao Yizhen, who was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed and concentrating, didn't even open his eyelids.

"The person recommended by Haile Entertainment is here, waiting for the audition." 

"You can just watch the audition. It is the supporting role, not the protagonist, so why do I have to go there and watch it in person?" Liao Yizhen still didn't open his eyes.

His tone was obviously unhappy that his assistant bothered him with this matter.

The assistant was hesitant to speak, but he sensed the impatience in Liao Yizhen's tone, so he didn't dare to dwell on it anymore, and said the key point, "The person they recommended was the one who was only considered a vase because of his poor acting skills. It is Jiang Jiamian, who was almost kicked out of the entertainment circle!"

Liao Yizhen finally opened his eyes, "Is it him? I remember, he hasn't been busy with scandal in the past two days?" 

The assistant explained, "Isn't that right? He Lei accused him of interfering in his relationship with Ai Feng. It is said that He Lei has announced his breakup with Ai Feng because of this incident."

Liao Yizhen narrowed his eyes slightly, "So, I am polite to the people of Haile Entertainment, but they sent me a vase with a terrible reputation?"

The assistant twitched his lips, "How else could I come and bother you? This Haile CEO Yue Hong simply doesn't give you a face. He deliberately sent you someone like this to cause trouble."

Liao Yizhen laughed, "Then let the vase audition, then turn around and smash the vase and the audition video into Yue Hong's face."

What happened to Yue Hong this time? 

He had cooperated with Yue Hong's company many times in the past, so he thought of Yue Hong when he was in need of an actor, and the other party actually gave him this kind of person.

"By the way, what's the name of that vase?"

Liao Yizhen gently touched his smooth chin.

"Jiang Jiamian."

The assistant was not surprised that Liao Yizhen couldn't remember his name. After all, the word 'vase' was shouted louder than the word 'Jiang Jiamian'.

"Jiang Jiamian..."

Liao Yizhen repeated it between his teeth very slowly. For some reason, these words seemed to have a kind of magic spell, which made his heart suddenly tremble.

Obviously, he had seen and heard this name before. At that time, he just heard it as a joke and couldn't remember it.

But this time he heard it, it was strange.

It was as if these words had crawled into his heart with an itch, and even felt inexplicably like a world away, but he didn't know when could this name left this kind of imprint on his soul. 

"Where is he now?"

Liao Yizhen, who had not planned to speak again and had even closed his eyes to rest his mind again, asked one more question out of nowhere.

"In the audition room, Director Chen is also there, and his face is very ugly." 

"Yeah."

Liao Yizhen didn't ask again. No one knew if he was still as calm as water in his heart.

Director Chen's eyebrows were furrowed even more tightly than a twist. He held the script tightly with one hand and couldn't help but gesture with the other hand when he spoke, "Oh, it's just this part of the scene, understand? Just try this part, it is a male supporting character, so he has to show his sourness and forbearance towards the heroine who is unable to love him. Do you understand?"

Jiang Jiamian bent his eyes and smiled, "I understand."

"Really understand?" Director Chen was a little worried, "I have to say something ugly. Although your boss Yue recommended you to come here, it is not decided upon the recommendation. You also know that our Mr. Liao has strict requirements for roles. If we are not satisfied with the results of the audition, you will still have to go back."

Jiang Jiamian smiled and said, "I understand, I won't make it difficult for you."

Director Chen nodded. Seeing that his attitude was good, he couldn't say anything else for the time being, "Then let's start."

"Okay."

Jiang Jiamian still smiled politely and walked in front of the camera in a few steps.

He didn't move at the first moment, but lowered his head and silently adjusted his breathing.

As Director Chen made a shout to start, Jiang Jiamian slowly raised his head. The originally polite and distant temperament on his body quickly turned into melancholy and bitterness.

His brows were slightly furrowed, and there was indescribable pain in his eyes. However, the pain was mixed with some kind of expectation and desire, and he looked at the camera with countless deep feelings, "Yanyan, I really love you, I won't misunderstand you and hurt you like he did. I am sincere to you. I will only use my whole life to love you and stay with you, okay?"

Those eyes were full of begging and anxious longing. There is also a touch of sadness that is unbearable to touch as if it will be broken if touched.

Director Chen was completely stunned. With such a pair of eyes, a pair of extremely affectionate eyes, who could refuse him!?

Yes, that's the taste, that's the feeling!

When Director Chen excitedly adjusted the angle of the camera, his peripheral vision unexpectedly caught sight of a figure at the door, and he was immediately startled.

After taking a closer look, he realized that at some point, Liao Yizhen had been standing there quietly, looking intently at Jiang Jiamian in front of the camera for who knows how long.

When Director Chen saw him coming, he quickly stood up and wanted to say hello.

But he saw Liao Yizhen making a shushing gesture silently, he quickly understood and sat back down again.

So yeah, Jiang Jiamian met one of his friends from fast-traveler group chat (⁠◡⁠ ⁠ω⁠ ⁠◡⁠)

It would be nice to have some supporting characters to apear through the story.

What do you think, my sweet cupcakes? (⁠。⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧
