Chapter 4: A Pampered Puppy? No, I’m a Wolf!
As Big Sweetie stepped out of the RV and caught sight of Shen Lang, she gasped in surprise. She jogged over, circled him a few times, and scrutinized him from head to toe.
“Little Shen Lang, how did you get even handsomer?”
“I’ve always been this handsome.”
Though she said that, Big Sweetie couldn’t deny it, Shen Lang had become more attractive.
At her prompting, her team also took notice of Shen Lang.
Who is this incredibly good-looking man?
The “99+ Charisma” stat wasn’t just for show.
Last night, Big Sweetie had also experienced the pleasures of his “Golden Kidneys and Wolf’s Waist.”
Put simply, Big Sweetie was addicted to Shen Lang!
“Little Shen Lang, you’re so good-looking!”
“Big Sis has excellent taste, hehehe…”
The team members exchanged glances, bewildered.
Yes, the man was undeniably attractive.
But Sweetie, please mind the time and place!
It was clear to them now, this man was Big Sweetie’s pampered little puppy.
Ahem. The manager coughed, reminding her, “Sweetie, we need to hurry. Let’s head into the CCTV building for the final rehearsal.”
“Right, the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal!”
Big Sweetie snapped back to reality but couldn’t bear to let Shen Lang leave.
So, she declared imperiously, “Alright, Little Shen Lang, you’re coming with me.”
“Today, you’ll be my temporary assistant, got it?”
“Do a good job, and Big Sis won’t skimp on your resources…”
As she spoke, she looped her arm through his and led him into the CCTV building.
You might as well announce to the world that he’s your man!
Shen Lang didn’t mind.
This wasn’t his first time at the CCTV building.
Whenever Shen Teng (his uncle) came for rehearsals, Shen Lang had tagged along a few times.
If not for his too-handsome face, which didn’t fit the comedy troupe’s vibe, he might’ve been a regular member.
Shen Teng doted on his nephew, after all, he was his elder brother’s only child.
As if on cue, Shen Teng called just then, inviting Shen Lang to spend New Year’s Eve with the Happy Mahua crew.
After the holidays, Shen Teng promised to help him secure roles.
Since Shen Lang was in his third year of university, he needed practical experience on set, something Shen Teng could arrange.
As a core member of Happy Mahua, Shen Teng had influence over their film projects.
Besides, Shen Lang was practically an unofficial member of the troupe.
The only issue? He was too good-looking for comedy.
Shen Teng had been the heartthrob of the PLA Art Academy, before he gained weight, developed laugh lines, and became “Uncle Teng,” a top-tier star in the “Uncle Circle.” Now, he shone in comedy, on his way to becoming the new “King of Comedy.”
Glancing at Big Sweetie, Shen Lang excused himself, saying he’d drop by later.
“Uncle Teng called you?”
After he hung up, Big Sweetie had already switched titles.
Weren’t you calling him Brother Teng before?
She rolled her eyes. “You’re my man. If Shen Teng is your uncle, then he’s my uncle. Should I still call him Brother Teng?”
Logical. Irrefutable.
But they could stick to their own terms.
Just like how Big Sweetie insisted Shen Lang call her “Sweetie Sis.”
As for her nicknames for him? Little Shen Lang, Little Brother, Daddy, Hubby, My Lord… the list went on.
Suddenly, Big Sweetie gasped. “Little Brother, you’re the best!”
“Tonight, we’ll celebrate New Year’s Eve together!”
“Just wait, Sweetie Sis will reward you properly later!”
Licking her lips, she imagined how she’d spoil him after the gala.
Her performance was early in the lineup, the seventh act, so she’d finish quickly.
That meant plenty of time to give Shen Lang an unforgettable New Year’s Eve.
Should I have him take me to Happy Mahua’s gathering?
Or just enjoy a private night for two?
Her mind raced, torn between choices.
Shen Lang smirked. Who’s rewarding whom?
She’s such a lightweight, yet she’s the one “keeping” me?
Even without his cheat skills, Big Sweetie was no match for him.
Born in 1997, Shen Lang was just 21, prime stamina years.
That’s youth for you.
(After 30, no one brags like that anymore.)
But now, with his cheat abilities, whether he was 20, 30, 40, or even 70, Shen Lang could still perform like a champ, giving even 18-year-olds the time of their lives!
“Sweetie, is this your boyfriend?”
Inside the CCTV building, Jiang Shuying walked over, eyeing Shen Lang curiously.
“Of course not~” Big Sweetie stubbornly denied. “Shen Lang’s my temporary assistant.”
“Temporary assistant?”
Jiang Shuying’s face screamed disbelief.
Big Sweetie ignored her skepticism and introduced Shen Lang.
Jiang Shuying, born in 1986, was another “big sister.”
Her gala performance, Praise the New Era, was a collaboration with Big Sweetie and the popular idol Li Yifeng.
It was all three of their first time at the Spring Festival Gala.
“Handsome, really not Sweetie’s boyfriend?” Jiang Shuying pressed, gossip mode activated.
“Shuying, I never knew you were so nosy!”
“We’re women, isn’t gossiping in our DNA?”
Jiang Shuying’s shameless reply earned an eye-roll from Big Sweetie.
Her pampered puppy couldn’t be eyed by others!
Should I hide him away?
…Obviously impossible.
