When Reader and Author Transmigrate Inside the Book at the Same Time

When Gu Jinmian was waiting, the dormitory boys watched a movie.

 

Seven or eight year old boys inevitably have reactions, only a slight reaction, and even a bit nauseous. They have not watched it again since then.

 

Later on, he came to Jinjiang to read various novels and saw the love between men inside. Coincidentally, the Jinjiang Danmei Channel was extremely famous. After reading various updates for a few days, Gu Jinmian quietly went to the Danmei Channel to sneak around a few times.

 

I have read several novels and have some understanding of this matter.

 

Lightly described- simple and comfortable.

 

Gu Jinmian collapsed on the bench, his body loose and draped in a school uniform, cursing Jinjiang and doubting life.

 

Yin Moshu pressed his finger on his lips and said, “Uniform, not in bed, is it stimulating?”

 

Gu Jinmian: “…….”

 

Yin Moshu’s expression was satisfied and his voice was hoarse. “Very similar to that child now.”

 

Gu Jinmian: “……”

 

Are you talking about someone?

 

Yin Moshu: “All in tatters.”

 

Gu Jinmian: “……..”

 

Unfortunately, his hoarse voice didn’t allow him to speak, or he would definitely curse someone out.

 

Yin Moshu chuckled softly, and took him to the bathroom for a shower. Two hours later, when Gu Jinmian emerged from the bathroom, he had turned into a boiled lobster, all red and with sharp claws that he couldn’t even wave.

 

His long eyelashes half-drooped, utterly exhausted.

 

Yin Moshu hugged him to sleep, and Gu Jinmian mumbled unconsciously.

 

Yin Moshu listened intently for a while, and with some guessing, he finally made out what he was muttering.

 

“Forcing me to call big brother.”

 

“Make me call Ah Shu.”

 

“What Ah shu? It’s Yin Moshu.”

 

Yin Moshu: “…”

 

A man extremely pleased in body and mind, with a slightly disdainful remark, only gently patted Gu Jinmian’s back. Exhausted, Gu Jinmian drifted off to sleep after complaining.

 

Lying on Yin Moshu, Gu Jinmian’s weight made it a bit difficult for Yin Moshu to breathe, but it was the only comfortable sleeping position for Gu Jinmian at the moment, so Yin Moshu just let him lie like that.

 

Unwilling to let go.

 

Just wanting to hold on like this, wishing every inch of skin could stick together, melting body temperatures into one.

 

When Gu Jinmian woke up, it was already three in the afternoon.

 

Except for a slight soreness somewhere, he had regained most of his strength after a good sleep, and everything was fine.

 

Just a bit hungry.

 

And a bit embarrassed.

 

Lying on Yin Moshu’s body, but only half-lying, legs on the bed, and face on his abdomen.

 

“Awake? Hungry?” Yin Moshu asked.

 

Gu Jinmian rubbed against the abdominal muscles and remained silent.

 

“I’ll go get your food.” Yin Moshu said.

 

Gu Jinmian finally spoke, in a soft voice, “I’m not that delicate.”

 

He sat up, and when he got out of bed and stood up, his facial expression stiffened for a moment, then he casually took a few steps.

 

“True?” Yin Moshu asked.

 

“Yeah, I think I can go back and play two more rounds with Ji Ming.” Gu Jinmian said.

 

Yin Moshu responded with a gentle smile.

 

Gu Jinmian: “Shall we go then?”

 

Yin Moshu: “…”

 

Gu Jinmian now recalled that their sudden return was quite strange. To avoid unnecessary speculation, he kind of wanted to go back and play a couple more rounds now.

 

Yin Moshu couldn’t help but smile wryly and finally chuckled softly.

 

Gu Jinmian could be silly in a lovable way.

 

Being caught sleeping with legs wrapped around him by the manager and assistant was embarrassing enough. They pretended to be asleep, and the matter passed smoothly. But now, when they had to go to the set, they would be asked what time they left and whether they slept honestly.

 

This time was no different.

 

While being silly in love, it also made people want to bully.

 

“Can you play that live-action CS? Can you even lift your leg?”

 

“Of course!”

 

Yin Moshu squinted, his gaze falling on Gu Jinmian’s legs. “Try it?”

 

Try then I’ll give it a try.

 

Gu Jinmian gave a “hah” and delivered a side kick. The kick was powerful, and the form was impeccable, but after holding it for a few seconds, his leg became so sore and weak that it trembled a bit.

 

Yin Moshu couldn’t stop laughing. He got off the bed, lifted Gu Jinmian’s chin, and planted gentle kisses.

 

Full of joy, he tenderly traced his tongue, kissing with utmost gentleness.

 

Gu Jinmian was so comfortable being kissed that he hummed a couple of times, completely relaxing.

 

Seizing the opportunity, Yin Moshu said, “Work today?”

 

Only then did Gu Jinmian remember that he had planned to contact Director Lin today to discuss the movie.

 

“Got work today, how about we play next time?” Gu Jinmian nodded, “Gotta snatch the movie back today.”

 

Yin Moshu comforted him, had a bit of food together, and then accompanied him to the study.

 

In reality, the “study” for Gu Jinmian meant lounging on a soft chaise lounge, holding his phone to contact Director Lin, and pulling Liu Mengmeng into the group chat.

 

Gu Jinmian: “Director Lin, did you hear? My third brother’s special effects team is now on my payroll, taking on tasks.”

 

Director Lin: “…”

 

Gu Jinmian: “So many people are contacting me, it’s annoying.”

 

Director Lin: “…”

 

Liu Mengmeng: “Then you have to leave a gap in our movie schedule.”

 

Gu Jinmian: “Of course for our movie. Even if we don’t charge, we need sufficient time.”

 

Director Lin: “…”

 

Director Lin: “Alright, alright, stop bickering. Both Yin Moshu and Jiang Xulin will audition, we’ll see how it goes.”

 

Gu Jinmian grinned triumphantly. In this top-notch production crew, more than half were either friends or fans of theirs. As long as Yin Moshu’s acting wasn’t too far behind Jiang Xulin’s, victory was practically guaranteed.

 

Director Lin also understood, so he reluctantly agreed.

 

Gu Jinmian: “It has to be quick though. Yin Moshu is heading out of town the day after tomorrow to film, and his schedule is tight. There are a lot of films lined up.”

 

Director Lin: “…”

 

Director Lin: “Speaking of which, Xiao Gu, I need to talk to you. It’s about the quality, not the quantity. Don’t blindly pursue exposure by taking on low-quality films.”

 

Huh?

 

That upsetted Gu Jinmian.

 

Gu Jinmian: “Just wait and see. All the movies Yin Moshu takes on are going to be hits, and will make a lot of money compared to yours.”

 

Director Lin: “…”

 

Later in the evening, Director Lin informed them that they had arranged a small audition. Tomorrow night, both Yin Moshu and Jiang Xulin would try out.

 

Gu Jinmian told Yin Moshu, saying, “You won’t lose, right?”

 

“Speaking solely about acting, it’s hard to say right now,” Yin Moshu admitted.

 

True, Jiang Xulin had been in the industry for many years, even winning an award for Best Actor. He was way more skilled than Hang Yuanting, who was just starting out.

 

Thinking about this, Gu Jinmian asked, “As someone who was just starting out, why didn’t you choose to learn business and inherit the family business from Bai Qirui? Why become an actor? Because there are similarities between being an actor and an artist—both require understanding of characters and creating personalities, which is relatively easy to do?”

 

“No,” Yin Moshu replied, “because being an actor is more challenging.”

 

Gu Jinmian: “…”

 

He gave Yin Moshu a complex look.

 

Being an actor is more challenging than managing such a large corporation?

 

Forget it.

 

Gu Jinmian asked again, “You said writing is a part-time job, so what’s your main job?”

 

Yin Moshu replied, “I used to be involved in managing the company, but not so much anymore.”

 

Gu Jinmian: “…”

 

“Did you find that writing earns more? Heard you could make tens of millions with just one novel’s copyright?”

 

Gu Jinmian felt a bit sour. In terms of income, his salary couldn’t compare to Yin Moshu’s interest.

 

Too bitter and miserable.

 

But well, at least he has money. Gu Jinmian consoled himself.

 

Yin Moshu: “…”

 

He chuckled, “Can’t say it like that. Mainly, writing is more enjoyable.”

 

Gu Jinmian thought, earning money through enjoyment. Can one sustain writing for hours every day for two or three years?

 

“How many words can you write per hour?” Gu Jinmian asked again.

 

Yin Moshu: “Around three to four thousand words.”

 

Gu Jinmian: “…”

 

“Well then, you, you have to write a three-thousand-word extra about a happy Yin Moshu right now!” Gu Jinmian leaned on Yin Moshu’s back. “It has to be full of happiness.”

 

He had long wanted to do this. Even in the original world, he wanted to push the boundaries and force someone to write a happy extra for Yin Moshu.

 

Now, he didn’t need to resort to force.

 

Gu Jinmian hugged Yin Moshu’s neck. “The more, the merrier.”

 

“…” Yin Moshu reluctantly pulled over a laptop, letting Gu Jinmian hug his neck while he wrote on the spot.

 

Yin Moshu typed a few keys and set the theme: “Yin Moshu No Responsibility Extra.”

 

Gu Jinmian glared at him, why No Responsibility?

 

Well, let it be no responsibility, after all it’s unrelated to the main story.

 

As a big shot writing at a speed of three to four thousand words per hour, Yin Moshu’s typing was lightning fast. Gu Jinmian had no problem keeping up with the live writing.

 

At first, Gu Jinmian watched with great interest, a smile on his face. But then his expression turned yellow, and his ears started burning.

 

Gu Jinmian hammered Yin Moshu with a punch. “You’re openly GHing! This wouldn’t pass the review on Jinjiang!”

 

(t/n: “GH” typically refers to “过后” (guò hòu) in Chinese online slang, which means “after the event” or “post.” It is often used to describe or imply intimate activities or relationships that occur between characters in fan fiction or online novels, particularly those of a romantic or sexual nature. In the context of the conversation. Gu Jinmian is accusing Yin Moshu of openly writing explicit or suggestive content.)

 

Yin Moshu’s Adam’s apple bobbed. “This chapter won’t be uploaded to Jinjiang.”

 

“…” Gu Jinmian tightened his grip around Yin Moshu’s neck. “So, following your logic, if, in the original work, Gu Jinmian and Yin Moshu sleep together, it must be Gu Jinmian being a pervert and sleeping with Yin Moshu.”

 

“Gu Jinmian has to be on top!”

 

“Alright.” Yin Moshu was very agreeable, quite satisfied.

 

So, that day, Gu Jinmian went from theory to practice and gained a profound understanding of a certain citrus fruit. (TL: It’s a figurative expression used here to describe a deeper and more intimate exploration or experience hands-on.)

 

Able to reflect.

 

Waking up early, he found a big brother’s inquiry about his well-being.

 

Gu Jinmian felt both shy and indignant. It must be because Yin Moshu called his elder brother last night after the incident.

 

Not knowing what to say, Gu Jinmian picked up his phone and tentatively sent a message to his third brother: “Third brother, did you come back last night?”

 

Gu Qingyang: “Even if I didn’t come back last night, I knew you were lying on Yin Moshu’s bed.”

 

Gu Jinmian: “…”

 

Gu Qingyang: “Aren’t you meeting the director and investors tonight? Get up and prepare properly.”

 

Gu Jinmian: “How do you know?”

 

“How do I know you’re lying in bed? How do I know you’re going to meet the director?” Gu Qingyang replied.

 

Gu Jinmian pressed his phone.

 

Gu Qingyang sneered, put away his phone, and looked at the person across from him.

 

Jiang Xulin sat opposite him, seemingly knowing that he wanted to talk about Gu Jinmian, and asked the most important question he wanted to ask today, “Why did you let Gu Jinmian take over the special effects team?”

 

Gu Qingyang was straightforward, “What’s the big deal? I won’t have children in the future. Everything I have is for my little brother.”

 

Outsiders often described Gu Qingyang as a libertine who didn’t discriminate between men and women.

 

That was a misunderstanding. While he did have a girlfriend initially, once he got a boyfriend, he never looked at girls again. He had his limits, and since he wouldn’t have children in the future, everything he had would naturally go to his little brother.

 

Jiang Xulin felt something in his heart.

 

Gu Qingyang consoled, “Well, Director Lin did ask both of you to audition, right? You’ll compete based on your own abilities, ah?”

 

Jiang Xulin: “…”

 

The word “breakup” spun around in his mouth, but he didn’t say it out loud.

 

He didn’t understand why Yin Moshu was with Gu Jinmian, and he didn’t understand why Gu Qingyang treated that little brother so well.

 

It seemed polite, not going beyond that. Apart from a handsome face, he couldn’t see any other merits.

 

Jiang Xulin: “I came back to the country for this movie!”

 

Gu Qingyang: “Ah? I thought you came back for me.”

 

Jiang Xulin: “…”

 

“Alright, alright, fair competition. I’ll personally send you there later.” Gu Qingyang patted Jiang Xulin on the shoulder. “Jiang Film Emperor, can you give me a smile?”

 

Hearing that he would be personally sent there, Jiang Xulin did feel a bit more comfortable. However, as soon as they left, Gu Qingyang stuck to his younger brother and “teased” him.

 

Jiang Xulin gritted his teeth. The lover wasn’t here to accompany; but was here to find his little brother!

 

Gu Qingyang circled around Gu Jinmian, making clucking sounds. “Look at this spring-like appearance. You slept well last night, huh?”

 

Gu Jinmian: “…”

 

Gu Jinmian forcefully pushed away his clingy third brother. “Please watch your words and actions.”

 

Gu Qingyang pinched Gu Jinmian’s face hard. “Someone who stays out all night has no right to say that.”

 

Gu Jinmian: “…”

 

Gu Qingyang insisted on sticking close. “I see you both slept happily. Since that’s the case, why not get married early, sleep together every day, and make our mom happy?”

 

Gu Jinmian glanced at Yin Moshu and retorted, “Then why don’t you get married early and make mom happy?”

 

“I don’t consider marriage after the age of four,” Gu Qingyang said matter-of-factly.

 

Gu Jinmian: “…”

 

He discreetly glanced at Jiang Xulin, whose expression was indeed very unpleasant.

 

“Besides, it’s not like your fans don’t go to Mom and Second Brother’s Weibo every day, shouting for you to hold a wedding ceremony soon?” Gu Qingyang nudged Yin Moshu with his elbow. “Isn’t that right, Yin Moshu?”

 

Yin Moshu chuckled softly, “Yes.”

 

Seeing that Yin Moshu was more agreeable, Gu Qingyang turned his head. “Yin Moshu, when do you want to get married?”

 

“Of course, the sooner, the better.” Yin Moshu’s eyes and eyebrows were filled with a smile. “After all, I’m not getting any younger.”

 

“…..” Gu Qingyang blinked. “Right, after all, uh, it’s been more than three years past the typical marriage age.”

 

“If that’s the case, I think the end of this year is good.” Gu Qingyang said with a smile, “I came back early from abroad. What a perfect opportunity, right?”

 

Yin Moshu: “Yes.”

 

Gu Jinmian: “…?”

 

Gu Qingyang asked, “Little brother, what do you think?”

 

What did he think? An outrageous thought.

 

Isn’t it almost the end of the year?

 

With a paralyzed face, he managed to hold back a smile, lifting the corners of his mouth ever so slightly. “What I think, Third Brother, is that you should learn from Yin Moshu on how to be a boyfriend.”

 

“…” Gu Qingyang couldn’t help but think that he had just been fed a mouthful of dog food by being pulled and trampled on.

 

Jiang Xulin sneered.

 

Gu Qingyang: “…”

 

Not only being pulled and trampled on but also fed dog food. Little brother was causing mischief.

 

Gu Jinmian hummed and thought sweetly. Comparing a person who only considered marriage after the age of four to someone who wished to get married tomorrow. Could they even be compared?

 

Fortunately, at that moment, Director Lin and the others arrived.

 

“What are you guys talking about?”

 

Gu Qingyang: “We’re talking about my little brother and Yin Moshu getting married soon.”

 

“Oh? Congratulations!”

 

“Congratulations!”

 

“Thank you.” Yin Moshu said, “Please come to the wedding when the time comes.”

 

“Of course!”

 

Gu Jinmian: “…”

 

The atmosphere was lively from the start. With the connection to the Gu family, the crew was also tense about the competition between Yin Moshu and Jiang Xulin, who were seen as rivals.

 

The audition for the male lead was different from that of the supporting roles. Currently, only a few key decision-makers privately invited them for auditions to discuss the casting.

 

Up to this point, everyone was still quite hesitant, not fully making a decision.

 

The character was a refined and scholarly type who often wore glasses. Jiang Xulin, with his gentle and refined appearance, seemed more suitable. Moreover, his popularity in the international film industry would be beneficial for expanding into foreign markets.

 

And Yin Moshu’s popularity and the extent to which he was adored in films were known to everyone.

 

The crew’s dilemma had nothing to do with Gu Jinmian.

 

Because he knew how charming Yin Moshu’s smile was, he was confident that he would make the crew realize that a refined and scholarly character could be perfectly portrayed with just a smile.

 

As expected, Yin Moshu was impeccably dressed, wearing a white shirt and a gray vest with every button meticulously fastened.

 

His hair was slightly combed backward, allowing an unobstructed view of his face.

 

His skin had a pale, cool tone, and a silver-rimmed pair of glasses adorned his high, sculpted nose. With a push of his slender, strong fingers on the glasses’ bridge, he lifted the elongated corners of his eyes, and the glint in his gaze flashed across the lenses.

 

Thin lips curved into a subtle, ambiguous, and faintly seductive smile.

 

Gu Jinmian’s heart skipped a beat, and his legs felt a bit weak.

 

In his mind, he cursed, wondering how someone could be so shameless to be alluring anytime, anywhere, just because they had slept together?

 

How much better compared to others.

 

Gu Jinmian didn’t know what happened inside the audition room, but after coming out, Director Lin called Jiang Xulin aside for a conversation that seemed quite awkward. Gu Jinmian understood what had happened.

 

He called Bai Xinyu and Du Bai’an over, planning to celebrate together later.

 

When Yin Moshu came out, he walked over and quietly asked, “Were you intentionally smiling at me just now?”

 

“You noticed?” Yin Moshu denied, still maintaining his refined appearance. “I wanted you to get used to it a bit more. In case we end up together, you won’t be too shocked when you see the real me.”

 

Gu Jinmian: “…?”

 

They had a few more drinks, and after the director chose the main cast, they left. They happily discussed the future of the domestic film industry.

 

As they were getting older, there were more things to talk about, and Director Lin spoke for almost half an hour before stopping.

 

The two who had been at the company these past few days, Bai Xinyu and Du Bai’an, had also arrived.

 

Gu Jinmian’s eyes lit up, and he called them over.

 

He brought the two to the table and introduced them, “Directors, investors, these two are our company’s other two actors, Bai Xinyu and Du Bai’an. Please take good care of them in the future.”

 

Director Lin: “…”

 

Suddenly, there was a feeling that he couldn’t continue speaking. The romantic dreams talked about here clashed with the reality of this Xiao Gu engaging in capital corruption.

 

Bai Xinyu and Du Bai’an sensed Director Lin’s speechlessness, glanced at Jiang Xulin, and then at Yin Moshu. They felt a bit excited.

 

Especially Bai Xinyu.

 

Excitedly and in a hushed tone, he said to Yin Moshu, “Yin Moshu, did you really snatch the role from Jiang Xulin? You truly are…Yin Moshu!”

 

Actually, the voice wasn’t exactly hushed, at least Jiang Xulin, sitting nearby, heard it.

 

His face was already gloomy, and upon hearing this, he directly sneered.

 

From international variety shows to domestic movies, from Shi Yi to Gu Qingyang, and now to Bai Xinyu, the more he thought about it, the more stifled he felt.

 

He directly said to Bai Xinyu, “Can you come out for a moment? I have something to say to you.”

 

Bai Xinyu was momentarily stunned; he did admire Jiang Xulin to some extent. So he followed him out.

 

The private audition was held in a well-appointed hotel. Outside the corridor, the lighting was dim, and Jiang Xulin’s gaze was somewhat fearful, a kind of anger that did not yield.

 

“Now, more than half of your fans are fans of Yin Moshu,” Jiang Xulin said solemnly.

 

Bai Xinyu wondered what he was talking about.

 

“All the good resources have been taken by Yin Moshu, trending every day!”

 

Bai Xinyu looked at him inexplicably.

 

“Do you know that all of this should have belonged to you?” Jiang Xulin was holding back his anger and speaking without mincing words. “You’ve unexpectedly turned into his lackey!”

 

“……”

 

After the angry outburst, seeing that Bai Xinyu looked a bit confused, Jiang Xulin, holding onto the idea of uniting to deal with Yin Moshu, directly told him, “Do you know, we live in a novel, and you were originally the protagonist of this novel.”

 

Bai Xinyu: “……”

 

PTSD activated.
