Transmigrated into the Film Emperor’s Death-Seeking Fiance

 Translator: Daed

The first five pages were all very normal. They were all praising Jiang Mo Chen—and him, while they were at it. However, from the sixth page onwards, things began to change.

[This photo of CEO Jiang is really so sweet. It’s very rare to see such a sweet CEO Jiang.] 

[Yeah, I feel like CEO Jiang hasn’t been caught on film going to watch a movie with anyone else before.]

[He has (been caught on film going to watch a movie (?) before) with Sun Xun. But the two of them didn’t really have any expressions on their faces. They looked like they didn’t want to pay any attention to the other—not like this photo, which looks sweet.] 

[The older sisters commenting above, I’m begging you to please don’t say any more. There is no harm done until you have a comparison; you are essentially forcing me to ship them!]

[This pair has cp fans?]

[Not only  do they have cp fans, they’ve also got a super topic. Such a big serving of candy, didn’t you see the super topic shoot up some ten places in the ranking list?!]

[Shock1!]”

[That’s normal, I think. The day that this pair had a name, they already had cp fans. It was just that the statuses of these two in the circle are particularly sensitive. Yan Qing Chi is a rookie without any products to his name, so the cp fans could only go underground. Hence, once this picture came out, all the underground fans appeared on the surface.]

[Just a passer-by passing by, may I ask what the appealing point of this pair is? The Little Houses didn’t rip it apart?]

[The appeal is in the matching visuals, the gratitude for saving one’s life, and the subsequent repayment with one’s body!] 

[Gratitude for saving one’s life??? Did I ‘miss a class’???]

[Oh my goodness, it was all over the discussion forum that day. Not only did you miss a class, you’ve completely skipped the whole school day. Here’s a link. You go learn what you’ve missed yourself.]  

[So what is this pair called?]

[I think it’s called ‘Chéngchí’. That’s the title of the super topic, anyway.]

[Is there a groupchat for it?]

[Has this thread turned into a cp thread now?]

[Wow, the Little Houses-jiejie haven’t shown up yet?!]

[Commenter above, you might find this hard to believe but the Little Houses-jiejie were the ones at the forefront of the shipping of this pair. Otherwise, how many fans could Yan Qing Chi have?]

[Holy shit. Commenter above, do you want to end this thread? I’ll delete your comment.]

[The ones who say the truth are always the ones whose comments get deleted.]

“But OP, the way I look at it, it’s already been a while since then and you still haven’t deleted it!” Yan Qing Chi criticized internally. He looked down, skimming the comments until he saw someone write: [There is a groupchat. The way to the groupchat is in the super topic.]

Yan Qing Chi got out of this post and checked several other posts. They were all generally discussing him and Jiang Mo Chen. Some people even thought that there were too many posts, so they commented: [Is this the discussion forum for Jiang Mo Chen? As soon as anything related to him happens, you fill the screen up with your comments; can’t you go back to your Weibo public forum?!]

" "

To which the Little Houses retorted: [Are you not the least fricking bit aware how popular Jiang Mo Chen is? What are we supposed to discuss in an entertainment gossip forum if not celebrities? Family matters and conflicts between mother and daughter-in-laws?]

Yan Qing Chi deeply felt that while he may not be popular in real life nor could he be found in a Baidu search yet, his name was already known in the discussion forum.

He opened Weibo, searched around, entered the Chéngchí super topic, and then found the groupchat that the commenter had mentioned. 

Yan Qing Chi hesitated for a while. But he was still somewhat curious, so he made an alternate account and joined the Weibo groupchat.

【Someone new has come again. Welcome newcomer~】

【Welcome newcomer~】

【Welcome newcomer~】

【Thank you.】Yan Qing Chi replied.

【Did the newcomer also become a fan because of today’s picture?】

Yan Qing Chi could only go along with what they said,【En en】

【This picture is really an effective weapon to create fans! It’s sooo sweet!】

【It’s mainly because CEO Jiang’s gaze is too doting】

【The dazed Qing Chi is also so adorable】

【It’s mainly because the two of them truly suit each other when they are together. I’ll give nine rmb for them to get married.】

“You can save your money,” Yan Qing Chi thought. After all, the two of them had long since gotten married.

He turned to look at Jiang Mo Chen, “Did you know that we have cp fans?”

“I know.”

“Then what are your thoughts on them?”

Jiang Mo Chen looked at him, “It’s normal. I have more cps than I could count on two hands. Isn’t it very normal for me to have cp fans with you?”

“Oh, you’re very proud of this? ‘More than you can count on two hands’?”

“This thing called ‘personal charisma’ can’t be hidden even if you try your hardest to hide it.”

Yan Qing Chi gave him a judgmental look, “Your skin must be as thick as a city wall.”

Jiang Mo Chen looked at him and pondered over his words. Then he unexpectedly offered, “Then you can touch it and see if it is.”

Yan Qing Chi, “…”

This isn’t real, right? Since when did Jiang Mo Chen learn how to flirt?!

Jiang Mo Chen was delighted when he saw that the other man was at a loss for words. He had always been the one who was made speechless by Yan Qing Chi’s retorts. He hadn’t thought that one day, Yan Qing Chi would be the one with no words to say. 

Jiang Mo Chen felt that this moment really ought to be engraved into memory. Hence, he followed up on his victory and pursued the attack by leaning in towards Yan Qing Chi and teasing, “Wanna touch it to see (if my skin is really as thick as a city wall)?” 

Yan Qing Chi, seeing his smug expression, harrumphed. He reached out and pinched his cheek. Jiang Mo Chen hadn’t expected him to actually pinch it; he was immediately stunned. 

As soon as he saw how Jiang Mo Chen was stunned, he knew that this guy was nothing more than a ‘paper tiger’2. Hence, he pulled outwards twice with his fingers that were pinching Jiang Mo Chen’s cheeks with a wide beam. “It’s not bad to the touch. Not only is it not that thick when I touch it, it’s a little thin3.” 

Jiang Mo Chen smacked his hand away, turning his head in anger from his embarrassment. He felt that the place that Yan Qing Chi had pinched earlier was burning up awfully strongly. 

Yan Qing Chi noticed that the place he had pinched was somewhat red. He mulled over this, wondering why it turned red when he hadn’t even used any strength. Was Jiang Mo Chen’s skin really that thin?

Seeing Jiang Mo Chen bashful and angry, he reached out and poked him, “Then…you can pinch me back?”

Jiang Mo Chen harrumphed, “It’s not anything special4

“I promise not to resist. You can pinch whichever side you want.”

Jiang Mo Chen looked at him out of the corner of his eye.

Yan Qing Chi hurriedly nodded to show his sincerity, “Really. You can pinch however you like.” 

Saying so, he leaned over half of his body in Jiang Mo Chen’s direction.

Jiang Mo Chen smiled at his behavior, “Alright, don’t torment yourself over it. You’ll wake Qiqi up.”

“Then, you’re not angry anymore?”

“I wasn’t angry at all earlier, okay?”

“That’s good then.”

“You would be afraid that I’m angry?” Jiang Mo Chen asked him.

“Well, I wouldn’t be afraid. I just don’t want you to be angry. That’s all.””

“But you always verbally attack me as you please.” 

“It’s a conditioned reflex,” Yan Qing Chi smiled, “Then I’ll go easy on you in the future?”

“No need!” Jiang Mo Chen declined, “Since young, no one has dared to say ‘they’ll go easy on me’ in front of me. Just you wait. One day, I will make you shut your mouth, stunned5.”  

Yan Qing Chi thought that it was a little difficult for his words to come true. Nevertheless, one ought to harbor a dream. Thus, he sincerely expressed, “Good luck. I look forward to it very much.”

Jiang Mo Chen: …So fake!

Although Jiang Mo Chen only had a half-day of break, he didn’t have many scenes to film the next day and they were scheduled for the afternoon. So, he didn’t set an alarm. Yan Qing Chi woke up first. Looking down at Qiqi, who was sleeping in his arms, he decided to accompany him in sleep for a while longer.

As soon as Qiqi opened his eyes, he saw that there was someone on both sides of him. Rather surprised, he remarked, “Daddy and Father are still here.”

Then he closed his eyes, covering them with both hands. He counted to three and dropped his hands. When he saw that the people before his eyes were still there, he promptly smiled.

Yan Qing Chi watched him and asked, “What are you doing?”

Qiqi giggled and hugged him. He nuzzled against his shoulder and behaved in a spoiled manner6, “Daddy~”

Jiang Mo Chen was somewhat jealous; Qiqi had never acted spoiled like this with him. However, he consoled himself that he and Yan Qing Chi played different roles as parents. In any case, since he played the strict parent, it was very normal for the child to be closer to the one who was very gentle to him. 

He had just built this mental construct for himself when Qiqi flipped himself over and hugged him. The child began to smile in his arms, “Father is also here today~” 

Jiang Mo Chen instantly felt that he had been healed. Anyways, parents should hold equal positions in their child’s heart. How could the child only be close to the parent who was gentle to them? One must look past appearances to the core and see the affection that the father has under that strict outer appearance! 

It was rare for Qiqi to sleep together with them. At this time, since the two of them were both by his side, he was somewhat reluctant to get up from the bed. He hugged their arms and told them about what happened to him at school.

Yan Qing Chi asked him, “Are you getting along with your classmates?”

Qiqi nodded.

“Did anyone bully you?”

“No, they all like me very much.”

“Is that so? Our Qiqi is a little heartthrob then.”

Qiqi giggled. “Daddy, I gave my deskmate a car toy.” He looked at Yan Qing Chi, “He doesn’t have any toys. He hasn’t even played with cars. I still have some in my drawer, so I gave it to him.”

Yan Qing Chi nodded. “It’s your toy. You can give it to whoever you want.”

When he heard him say those words, Qiqi was so excited that he told him about what had happened at school. Yan Qing Chi and Jiang Mo Chen listened to him quietly, chatting with him from time to time. It was actually quite a warm and comfortable time7 

In the afternoon, Jiang Mo Chen went off to film his scenes. Jiang Xing Chen and Yan Qing Chi took Qiqi out to play for a while. At first, Yan Qing Chi was still rather awkward around Jiang Xing Chen. But after interacting with her for an afternoon, he discovered that Jiang Xing Chen was actually an extremely good conversational partner. There were many things that she was interested in and she was very earnest when she played—to the point that when they were chatting, Jiang Xing Chen had told him several stories about Jiang Mo Chen’s childhood. As Yan Qing Chi listened to her, he felt that it was truly remarkable how, even though he was mad every day when he was a kid, Jiang Mo Chen did not go down the wrong path8 nor did his temper become irascible.  

“Yeah,” Jiang Xing Chen strongly concurred, “There was a period of time when I was younger that I would constantly worry if Little Mo would develop a bad temper because of his mood. But he has always been very good. Even in middle school—the time when his hatred for our parents was at its highest—he merely ignored them. He didn’t do anything else that was out of line.” 

Jiang Xing Chen looked at Yan Qing Chi, “He actually didn’t have it easy as a kid. Since I was young, my parents were very strict. They were still young at the time—and it was right at the time when the competition in the business world was intense—so they brought home some of the strictness that they had at the company. It wasn’t that bad for me; I’ve always liked the quiet. When Little Mo was little, he was more active, so he would always be nagged by our parents. I had even tried to persuade my mom and dad not to do so, but it was useless. So I could only treat him a little better myself, and play with him more often. Fortunately, later on, my mom and dad finally realized and gradually softened their attitudes. Otherwise, ai…” Jiang Mo Chen let out a sigh imbued with meaning and shook her head, not speaking.    

Although she hadn’t explicitly said it, Yan Qing Chi could imagine it for himself. If Jiang Mo Chen’s parents had continued to maintain that kind of strictness, Jiang Mo Chen would most likely grow distant with his parents. And he most likely wouldn’t be willing to send Qiqi to his parents’ house when he wasn’t around like he was right now.

At around 7 PM9, Jiang Xing Chen left with Qiqi. Jiang Mo Chen barely arrived in time at the airport. He hugged Qiqi and told him that he was going home after the shooting for this movie was over.   

Qiqi nodded obediently. He kissed Jiang Mo Chen and then Yan Qing Chi. The child waved at them before turning around and being pulled along by Jiang Xing Chen to go through the security check.

As he watched Qiqi’s little figure leave, Yan Qing Chi was somewhat reluctant to separate from him. He sighed, thinking, “Thank goodness I’m about to wrap up.”
