Chapter 159: WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOURSELF?!
Mu Xuke laughed and said, " Why are you being so impatient today? Okay, anyways, since you are in a hurry let me not beat around the bush and come clear. It looks something off to me. Why did you choose the second male lead? "
Feng Ye rolled his eyes and said, "What do you mean ? It does not harm to do a side character does it? And I thought it was pretty cool. Hope that answers your questions. "
Mu Xuke smirked and said, "Nope it doesn’t. You know why I am asking this, right? And if you forgot about it, I don’t mind reminding you. Since your debut this is the first time you are playing a side character. And thanks to your amazing fans, they supported you. So why did you choose it this time. I kind of feel it’s kind of fishy.
Also, what I heard was that Wang Xiaoke had approached you first for the role of Kevin, but to turned it down saying that you were too busy and your schedule was packed. And then you suggested me for the role to Wang Xiaoke.
And then after I had signed the contract to agreed to the role of Alex. You and me both of us know that you hold a better position and fan following and connections than me in the industry. Also our fans have constantly made "competitions" competing us. Between us, there is a high chance that you overshadow me in the drama.
So, I was just curious that why this time you agreed to the role. "
Feng Ye sighed. Mu Xuke was a good friend of his. And Feng Ye liked him as a person. And now that he has lots of doubts and he could see where his doubts are going. He did not want Mu Xuke to think he had any ulterior motive.
Feng Ye stepped forward and patted his shoulder. He said, "Don’t worry. I did not really have any ulterior motive. And honestly, I was really busy. Infact I am. If it was not for a certain somone, I would have never agreed to it.
Also I know that the fans had made it ugly in the past, but don’t worry this time. I have asked Wang Xiaoke to do the promotion well this time so that neither you nor me face any problem this time. And he had assured that it will be done best, keeping both of our interests safe. "
Mu Xuke nodded to his words. He still remember few months back when his and Feng Ye’s drama had aired at the same time. As they were of almost the same age and same generation actors, both of them were constantly compared with each other. But last time, the comparison got so much worse that both of theirs reputation began to get tarnished. To prove one idol better than the other, the fans had started to tarnish the image of the other ones and started cursing really bad.
Though it raised the TRP of the dramas yet it affected the actor’s personal life really bad. At last, the situation was brought under control when the actors personally posted a video shaming the fans for their behaviour and calling them unethical.
Mu Xuke did not wish for that kind of situation to arise again. And moreover this time both of them were together in the same drama.
Feng Ye too understood the concern as he could relate to it and told him not to worry too much about it.
"And do not worry too much about me shadowing you or nonsense stuffs like that. We both will equally dominate together in the drama. "
Mu Xuke smiled and nodded. Then he remembered something and asked in a slight teasing tone, "If not for a certain someone... Did you mean her?"
Feng Ye nodded in agreement as he said, " Yes. She is my friend. And I do not want her to feel alone or anything like that in her first shoot. "
Mu Xuke chuckled and nodded saying he understood.

When Feng Ye entered Ning Mei’s vanity, Yu Lian and Ning Mei were having some gossips. He cheerfully waved his hand and said, "Hey beautys ~ How are you doing...? "
Ning Mei and Yu Lian surprisedly turn to looked at the uninvited guest. Seeing that it was Feng Ye, they first smiled and Ning Mei waved her hand back and replied, "Heyy Chick Ye ~ We are doing good. How about yo- -? " Suddenly Ning Mei remembered something and she stood up and pointed her finger at Feng Ye!
"You ! You there! " Ning Mei yelled.
Feng Ye clearly shocked with this sudden yelling, pointed at his nose in utter confusion and asked, "Me? "
"Yes! Yes you! With the golden head! Come here! " Ning Mei ordered him.
Feng Ye swallowed his saliva and quietly walked to them and stood in front of Ning Mei maintaining a safe distance. God knows what happened to her, and why she was so mad at him.
"Y- Yes? " He said.
"What to do think of yourself?! Tell me! " Ning Mei said.
Feng Ye blinked his eyes and replied, "A human being. "
This answer got her lips stuck for a moment. He face darkened and she said, " Oh really? And? "
Feng Ye thought for a second then said, " A good looking guy. " And he grinned. Feeling proud of his looks.
Ning Mei’s face darkened a shade darker and she said , " And? "
Feng Ye blinked thrice and said simply , "A celebrity."
Ning Mei banged the script that was in her hand on the table and he crunched. She yelled again, "You owner of a stupid ass! Are you really dumb or just playing dumb here! "
Feng Ye faked cried and said, " Aahaa, what did I do? Why are you si mad at me? Lian, you tell me what I did?"
He looked at Yu Lian for help. But his other best friend just shrugged and motioned of zipping up her lips.
Feng Ye cursed his friends in his mind. What kind of friends are they?! Torturing an innocent soul like himself!
