Chapter 56: Why Would Such a Big Shot Come Here?

"Kaburagi-san has also arrived; how about we help this companion who hasn't arrived yet cover up?" Kumano Nobuyuki took the initiative to ask for everyone's opinion.

"What a troublesome guy; forget it, let's help him once.

After all, if one boy is missing, one of us girls won't be able to go on stage."

Washimi Yukiyuki, after thinking about it, also nodded and agreed to this decision.

For this companion who didn't understand "workplace rules," Washimi Yukiyuki and the others, although they didn't like it, did it for themselves.

After all, being able to get this opportunity to participate in *Love Now* was hard-won for them.

Clearly, in the eyes of Washimi Yukiyuki and the others, this companion who hadn't arrived at the set yet was either that kind of arrogant idiot or that kind of pure newcomer who didn't understand anything.

As for the other party being a big shot or something, Washimi Yukiyuki and the others didn't think in that direction at all.

After all, among the seven people present, although everyone came from various professions in the industry and were all handsome men and beautiful women, the only one with a bit of fame was Arima Kana.

*Love Now*, this dating reality show, was originally supported by a group of young people with good looks.

It was originally a reality show to make some newcomers popular; how could they really find a big shot to help them hype up the heat.

Not to mention whether the production team had that kind of budget, as for them themselves, they didn't have that kind of value either.

"I think you don't need to do anything extra, because he has already arrived.

Although they didn't arrive at the set as early as we did, at this time, he indeed hasn't been late.

There is nothing wrong with following the so-called 'workplace rules,' but that is only aimed at some people."

Washimi Yukiyuki and the others originally intended to go to Masaya Kaburagi's side to cover for Shengzai, who hadn't arrived yet.

But before they could take a step, they were blocked by Arima Kana on the side.

Because she saw that a certain figure over there had already finished greeting Masaya Kaburagi and was walking towards them.

And as that figure walking towards them got closer and closer, Washimi Yukiyuki and the others, who saw clearly who the other party was, also slowly opened their mouths wide.

"I'm really sorry; originally I wanted to arrive a bit earlier, but Yuko that guy stayed up late to finish a manuscript last night, and I thought about taking a taxi, but I couldn't find one nearby.

My name is Aunt Wenren Shengzai, first year, profession is an actor, and I am also one of the participants in this *Love Now*; please take care of me."

Upon hearing Shengzai's self-introduction, Washimi Yukiyuki and the others present finally reacted from their state of shock.

But even so, regarding the fact that this super popular actor Shengzai would film *Love Now* with them, the few were still in a state of disbelief.

The reason was simple: Shengzai's level was too far from theirs.

To put it bluntly, although they each had their own fans, their popularity was only slightly stronger than that of ordinary people.

But Aunt Wenren Shengzai is the "Martial Star"! The leader of the young generation in action dramas! His popularity and fan base are simply terrifying; even Washimi Yukiyuki and the others were fans of Shengzai!

"Aunt Wenren Shengzai! Such a big shot would actually film a dating reality show with us; am I dreaming!"

"Aunt Wenren-kun, Aunt Wenren-kun, may I take a group photo with you?"

Kurokawa Akane and Arima Kana aside, when they confirmed that Shengzai was the last boy in *Love Now*, Washimi Yukiyuki and MEM-cho were suddenly excited and turned into little fan girls, scrambling to take photos with Shengzai.

As for the boys Kumano Nobuyuki and Morimoto Kengo, while feeling happy, they couldn't help but feel a lot of pressure.

*Love Now* is a dating reality show, completely revolving around "romance" for filming; the boys and girls participating can launch offensives against the objects they admire, while the production team films the process.

This culture, in the circle of young people, seems to be called "shipping CPs."

And although it is a reality show, it is ultimately a TV program aimed at making a profit; whichever couple performs better and has higher heat, the corresponding screen time will naturally be more.

With Shengzai participating, the heat of this season of *Love Now* would not be low to begin with.

But as boys, Kumano Nobuyuki and Morimoto Kengo naturally felt a lot of pressure; after all, the other party is a super popular actor—this makes them compete for a hair.

Aqua didn't care about this at all; after all, he wasn't here to become famous.

Because it is a reality show, there is no special script, and everyone is of the same age, so after the initial surprise, Washimi Yukiyuki and the others quickly got along well with Shengzai.

Because Shengzai is the most popular among the eight, and others are quite curious about him, the filming of this first and second season almost revolved around him.

Washimi Yukiyuki and MEM-cho are not stupid; Shengzai's popularity is there. If they can really form a romantic couple with him in *Love Now*, then their popularity will inevitably rise rapidly.

Even if they don't form a CP in the end, interacting with Shengzai can also allow them to get more screen time in the show.

Kurokawa Akane is clearly filming a reality show for the first time, so she is a bit unable to let go.

And as for Arima Kana, she is abnormally embarrassed to see Shengzai's face now.

Because of last night's phone call, after Shengzai hung up, she had been lying on the bed and having wild fantasies.

Even half an hour before Shengzai's second call, she had even thought of what their children would be named, but Shengzai gave her a heavy blow.

He indicated that his previous words had some ambiguity, and the "girlfriend" he mentioned referred to the girlfriend in the *Love Now* reality show.

Arima Kana, who knew she had misunderstood, was naturally abnormally ashamed and angry, and even wanted to hang up Shengzai's phone on the spot.

But thinking that the other party was so thoughtful for her, and even to let her regain popularity, didn't hesitate to hype a scandal with her, Arima Kana felt she was too willful.

It was originally her own misunderstanding; she really had no reason to be angry with Shengzai.

Of course, the logic is the logic, but today when she saw Shengzai, Arima Kana, thinking of her fantasies last night, couldn't help but be too embarrassed to interact with Shengzai.

It was also because of this reason that today's filming was almost all interactions between MEM-cho, Washimi Yukiyuki, and Shengzai.

"Shengzai-kun, by the way, why did you want to participate in *Love Now*?"

"That's right, that's right, has Shengzai reached the age where he wants to fall in love?

I heard in an interview before that Shengzai seems to have no dating experience; it's surprising that you are a very pure boy."

Hearing Washimi Yukiyuki and MEM-cho ask such private questions, the cameraman in charge of filming couldn't help but look at Masaya Kaburagi behind him, and the meaning expressed by his eyes was also very clear: asking, does this segment need to be cut?

After all, for most artists, they don't want their private lives to be revealed.
