Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The next morning, Wang Hao woke up early. Ah, there’s so much to look forward to every day!
Life is full of surprises — let’s go, Fortune Dice!
Then, Wang Hao froze. “F*ck! Really? ‘Unlucky’ again?”
On the top side of the Fortune Dice was “Unlucky” again!
Wang Hao immediately didn’t feel well, and his mood plummeted 50%…
“Lie low, I have to lie low!” Wang Hao mumbled as if he was chanting. Off to work!
Wang Hao entered the elevator and looked around. “It won’t get stuck again, will it? I guess it won’t be that bad…”
Straight to the first floor! Huh? The power of misfortune today seems a bit different… F*ck, whose dog poop is this?! Wait, looking at the shape, color and size…
Wang Hao shouted, “Snowy! Don’t be too happy. Wait till I get back!”
Wang Hao washed his shoes in the neighborhood’s fountain, looking depressed. “Looks like I’m really unlucky today. What else is going to happen to me…”
When Wang Hao arrived at the bus stop, he waited for almost twenty minutes before the bus came, and he finally got on. Ten minutes later, he took out his phone and called Director Gao. “Hi, is this Director Gao? I’m so sorry, I’m stuck in a traffic jam. I don’t know how long it’ll take to get there… Hm, alright, don’t worry. I’ll come as fast as I can. Okay, thank you, Director Gao!”
“Phew…” Wang Hao hung up the phone and gave a deep sigh. “It wasn’t too bad…”
Then, he didn’t feel right. Why is there something soft on my shoulder?
Wang Hao turned around, and was completely startled!
A woman with buck teeth, and who would score 45 marks for her appearance, stood right next to him!
F*ck! God have mercy! I truly don’t think she’s ugly; she can’t control how she looks! But her breasts are touching my arm. What’s wrong with her?!
Wang Hao felt a chill run down his spine and he got goosebumps. He quickly leaned away to the other side.
Right at that moment, the bus came to an abrupt halt…
The woman’s entire body bumped into his back!
Wang Hao instantly broke out in a cold sweat. Then, the woman deliberately leaned forward and her mouth almost touched Wang Hao’s face!
F*ck, is she a pervert?! No!!!
“Ah, miss, it’s a bit hot…” Wang Hao was drenched in sweat and he tried again to move away.
“I think it’s quite cool…” The pervert looked around, then suddenly covered her forehead and leaned her head on Wang Hao’s shoulder. “Ah, I’m feeling dizzy. Let me rest on your shoulder…”
It was as if an electric current shot through his body!
Lady! There are so many shoulders here, why are you leaning on me?!
“You’re not feeling well? Sit, please sit!” Wang Hao got up immediately like his ass was on fire. “This is me. I’m getting off!”
Oh my god, I didn’t know being handsome would land me in a situation like this!
By the time Wang Hao got off the bus, the passengers who filmed everything had already posted the video online.
“First time ever! We’ve seen a lot of male perverts on buses, but have you heard of a female one?”
Weibo was on fire once the post came out!
“The man deserves it! Who are you trying to seduce, showing so much skin? Wearing such a scanty outfit, I think he just wants women to touch him!”
“The guy’s showing his leg hair. Maybe he’s a sex worker!”
“It takes two to tango. I’m sure the guy did something inappropriate as well, otherwise why would she harass him in particular when there are so many other men on the bus?!”
“You reap what you sow. His clothes are so showy. Who else would the woman harass if not him?!”
“Going out without his girlfriend, he deserves to be harrassed!”
The number of views climbed rapidly! It was forwarded over 3000 times in just 20 minutes, and the number was still rising!
…
“I’m completely lost for words…” Wang Hao quickly ran to a rather quiet road. I’ll take the taxi, okay?
He waited for five minutes, and a taxi finally came. It’s not easy to wait out here, sir. The weather is boiling hot today!
Wang Hao got on, and fanning himself, said, “Zhonghai Avenue Shopping Center.”
“Okay.” The driver started the meter and got going!
Nothing bad happened on the way, and they arrived safely. Wang Hao paid the fare and sighed in relief. “Great, no big problem, no big problem. I finally arrived on set!”
Wang Hao went directly to the dining area on the sixth floor. The crew was filming the knife throwing scene at that moment. Director Gao saw Wang Hao and immediately told him, “Wang, change your clothes and go over there to help!”
Wang Hao was originally a lighting assistant here, which was actually a gofer. Although Li Fei had accepted him as an apprentice, his position hadn’t changed, and he still needed to do a bit of work.
“Alright, I’ll be right there.” Wang Hao quickly changed into his work clothes and cautiously went to control the lighting. The scene then started.
Li Fei had already revised this scene according to the “From Beijing with Love” script Wang Hao gave him, and the overall plot had become very similar to the movie. Right now, they were filming the scene where the two main characters were eating in the restaurant.
Then, Wang Hao realized it wouldn’t be calm and peaceful today with his misfortune — the second he touched the light stand, the lightbulb cracked and broke!
Wang Hao was speechless.
Director Gao was speechless.
“Why are you still standing there?” Director Gao yelled, “Get a new lightbulb! Quickly!”
“Okay!” The support staff went to get a lightbulb right away. When he came back, he tripped because he was running too fast and he crashed into Wang Hao. The two of them fell together and created a chain reaction. First, the main characters also fell down, then the light stand bumped into the camera, which knocked down three tables, and all the drinks spilled all over the ground…
Director Gao grabbed his hair and said nothing.
Wang Hao was speechless.
The cameraman said, “Director Gao, the camera broke and everything we filmed before is gone!”
Director Gao was speechless.
“What’s going on?!” Director Gao felt totally devastated. “Do you not look where you’re walking? Do you know how much we’ve lost? Luckily, we haven’t officially started filming, otherwise at least a few thousand yuan will be gone… What’s that smell?”
“Oh no, Director Gao, the prop room is on fire!”
“F*ck! Don’t just stand there! Go and put out the fire!”
Wang Hao was speechless.
Oh God, it’s not funny! If I lose this job, I’ll be unemployed again!
The whole crew was in total chaos for nearly half an hour before everything finally went back to normal, but when Wang Hao tried to pick up work again, “bang” – smoke billowed out from the printer he had just touched.
Wang Hao was speechless.
Director Gao was speechless.
The onlookers who had no idea what was happening were speechless.
