Adopting and Raising the Male Lead and the Villain

On the other side, as soon as Li Jinyuan had hung up the phone, he looked up and saw his three old roommates from during the training period looking squarely at him.

Phone call with your girlfriend? One of them asked.

Li Jinyuan busted out laughing. Of course not.

The one who asked nodded slightly and said in a low voice, Good then. Keep in mind that weve all signed contracts when we joined the show. We are not allowed to date during the period when the contract is in effect.

Another one chimed in as well, Never mind about the contracted period. We cant date even after the show is over. Once we started dating, our career would be over before it even got started.

Someone teased, No worries. Li Jinyuan is still so young. He wont be dating for a while.

Li Jinyuan nodded.

Exactly.

He wouldnt be dating for a while.

He didnt know how Huo Chengming felt about this, but at least he himself had never considered that possibility.

Picturing Zhong Yuhuans look in his head, Li Jinyuan tightened his lips a bit and said, I was talking to my sister on the phone.

What? Li Jinyuan has a sister?

She must be very pretty!

How old is your sister now? Does she have a boyfriend?

Li Jinyuans face dropped all of a sudden. Didnt you just say that we are not allowed to date?

The others chuckled and said, We are not the same as you. Even if you dont get first place, you are still someone that the show wants to come back. There will be companies lining up to sign with you after the show is over. Of course you wont be able to date. We are just here for the head count. Once its over, we are going to go back to become interns when we cant even do that anymore, we will just go home.

Thats right. I am going to go home and become a piano instructor.

I will go open up a bookstore

And thats why we can date all we want! said all three of them at them at the same time.

Li Jinyuan:

My sister is the same age as me. She cant get married legally yet, said Li Jinyuan with his brows raised.

One of them patted him on his shoulder and said, So what? We could be dating for 2-3 years. Then itd be perfect

Li Jinyuans face turned dark. No, you cant. You are not my sisters type.

Are we not good looking enough? The three of them looked at each other as they talked.

Of course, they were just kidding. None of them were truly interested.

But Li Jinyuan sulked and stopped talking after giving them a polite smile.

Were they as good looking as him? No, they were not as good looking as him.

***

The group had a short break after another two hours of filming.

Sitting to one side, Li Jinyuan slowly replayed the dancing and singing techniques that were taught to them by the instructors, as well as how to insert ones emotion into them that was Li Jinyuans weakness.

While he was in his own little world, he heard his three roommates, along with a few other candidates talking about the latest discussions on WeChat.

Thats so wealthy.

So nice to be a Second Generation Rich.

This one is pretty!

She is very pretty. When she stands in front of the picture, you cant even tell whos the art here

I am saving this picture.

I am following her as well

Li Jinyuan was still quietly going through the lessons in his head, unaffected by what was going on around him.

He didnt care who was rich or who was pretty. That had nothing to do with him.

Shortly after, the filming of the show resumed. Li Jinyuan quickly put down his cellphone and had no more time to look at the WeChat that Zhong Yuhuan was sending over.
