Ch25 - This big golden thigh seems a little not righ (2/2)
The system was behind him, cursing its host as it ran. Even if you wanted to act like a sweet and innocent youth that had just emerged from his ivory tower, there was still no need to foolishly laugh like a young girl, right? Your temperament just now really clashed!
Bai Hao stared at his back for a while, then smiled helplessly and followed him downstairs.
This younger brother of his seemed to be different from before.
He greeted Old Master Bai and coaxed him by saying that he would stay in China to develop in the future, making the old man beam happily. Hearing that Bai Yue needed to make a film and win an award in order to graduate, the old man waved his hand and said, “Making a film is no big deal. Just talk to your elder brother.”

Xue Ling looked at Bai Hao with eager eyes.
Bai Hao coughed and said, “I’ll talk to the staff tomorrow.”
Xue Ling gave him a small smile, picked up some food for his grandfather’s plate and began to eat.
Bai Hao waited for a while before suddenly opening his mouth to ask, “Do you know anything about actors? You’ve been abroad all year round. You shouldn’t have done any preparation for any aspects of the film yet, right?”
Xue Ling’s hand paused and he looked up at him in surprise, as though wondering why he cared. But since he was asked, he still opened his mouth and answered, “I want to be the lead actor myself. The other actors can be auditioned when the time comes… With so many actors in elder brother’s company, I should be able to find what I want.”
“You want to be the lead actor?” The old man’s attention was drawn. “What, you want to act?”
Xue Ling nodded and said, “Well yes, this time coming back, other than filming, I also want to enter the entertainment circle.” When he said this, his face was full of innocence. Even though the old man wanted to say something when he heard those words, those innocent eyes of his made him pause.
“Little Yue.” The old man was very serious as he spoke: “The entertainment circle is not a clean place. If you want to go and shoot a film, your brother can protect you and I won’t be worried. But if you want to shoot a movie and be an actor… “
He was considering how to continue, but Xue Ling grabbed the thread of the conversation first, and went on, “Can’t elder brother protect me if I become an actor?”
Old Master Bai looked discomfited.
Xue Ling continued, “If I sign under White Light Entertainment, elder brother will be able to watch over me, and Grandpa will have nothing to worry about. And my main profession is not acting – I’m just doing it for plot inspiration. I can’t write good scripts if I’m always closed up by myself, I want to personally experience what it’s like to make a movie and adjust my state.”
Old Master Bai still wanted to say something, but was stopped by Bai Hao. “Grandpa, let him try it if he wants to. Like he said, it’s not like I can’t protect him. White Light Entertainment has a lot of influence in the entertainment industry, and nothing will happen. Let him do what he wants.”
Xue Ling’s lips twitched – he had not expected his elder brother would help him speak. He had originally thought he would have to continue making his case for another two days. It wasn’t as if they could break his legs to keep him in the house. Now, it seemed that this Bai family older brother was quite easy-going. For this body’s original owner to become estranged with such a big golden thigh also took some skill. He nodded his head towards Bai Hao in thanks. Old Master Bai looked at one grandson, and then the other, and could only helplessly continue eating dinner.
He was also getting old; if the young people wanted to make trouble, then let them do as they like.

Back in his room, Xue Ling picked up the system and sat down on the bed, frowning as he questioned it. “Is there something wrong? Bai Hao feels different from what is given in the information!”
The system was held up by the scruff of its neck, swaying and flailing. It cried: “Host, can we talk properly without resorting to physical power?”
Xue Ling smoothly pinched its foxy face and let go of it: “If there are any more lousy ideas this time, I will strangle you.”
“No, don’t!” The system wanted to express that it wasa bystander who didn’t do anything – why did it get blamed for any accidents? It was obviously a plug-in, why didn’t it get praised when it was useful? After cursing in its heart, it still obediently confessed, “A lot of the informational material came from the body’s original host and the novel. The less these characters are described in the novel, the less distinct and elusive their character is. Their actions are also not under our control.”
Xue Ling rubbed his chin and thought of Cole from his previous life. The man did not appear in the text at all, but still managed to thoroughly stir up his life. Should he be considered as one of those people who could act freely? The deviation that happened with Elaine was also due to his intervention, making things very messy.
“Will their unpredictable personality have an impact on our mission?”
“In general, no.” The system is quite certain about this point, firmly assuring its host. “Host can also try to use them to achieve his own goals. After all, we only need to destroy the protagonists’ fate trajectory.”

“How is it enough to only destroy their fate?” Xue Ling sneered and thought of Bai Yue’s experiences. His gaze was deep as he said, “They definitely need to pay out something to compensate me for my bad mood.”
System: “…” Can we discuss this seriously? Will you die if you don’t act like a middle-schooler?
Thump Thump Thump. There was a knock at the door.
Xue Ling knocked on the little fox’s head, got up and opened the door.
On the other side of the door was Bai Hao. He had clearly just taken a bath and changed into casual clothes. His face was slightly cold, and he held a document in his hand. “Are you free? I have something to discuss with you.”
Xue Ling raised his brows and stepped sideways to let him in.

warning! and spoiler alert!
i’ve been debating with myself over whether not to say this and ‘spoiler’ the arc for you guys, but i realize that it might end up backfiring if some of you are against this kind of thing. so, i will say this now for those who haven’t figured it out yet~ the ML for this arc is Bai Hao, the elder brother.
if incest is a no-no for you, then it’ll probably be a good idea to skip out on this arc.
