A wave of speculation bubbles up after Xin Hulei's comment, which if nothing else, at least draws the heat off Yao Shen for being wholly unfit to play Yan Shuyi in the eyes of the original novel's fans.
So...success?
Yao Shen doesn't get another call from Bi Jialu or Boss Huang, so at least it can't have been terrible.
It does make him wonder what Xin Hulei's gameplan is. Can he be really so attached to his role as Xie Huan? It just doesn't seem like him, he gives off the impression of such a mature actor.
[He's a demon king, Host should be suspicious of his motivations.]
Yao Shen nearly trips on his own feet at hearing that rough disembodied voice inside his mind.
"Can you stop doing that? At least give me some warning," he curses, clutching at his chest.
[...Would Host be less startled if I said, 'I'm going to say something' before saying something? Doesn't that just amount to same thing?]
