Chapter 11

When faced with Wen-ge’s questioning, Duan Jiashu felt helpless.

“I wasn’t selling CP with him. Couldn’t you see that at first, I even ignored You Xin?” 

“You ignored him for sure, but how you did it was too obvious! It became a bit of a story too. And why didn’t you want to room with Yuan Feng and instead live in the same room as You Xin?”

“That’s because I don’t want to room with Yuan Feng. I could only reluctantly accept to stay in the same bedroom as You Xin. I really couldn’t help it.” Regarding this matter, Duan Jiashu was a little short of breath, he didn’t want to tell Wen-ge what he truly thought at theattime. Wen-ge wouldn’t understand, but would likely ridicule him, so it was fortunate that Wen-ge didn’t ask.

“The contrast between your behavior before and after was also too big, how could it not leave room for any speculation!” Wen-ge touched his head, feeling that he was really starting to lose his hair. “Well, let’s not mention this anymore. How about that Weibo post, what did you mean by that? Your lonely shadow was feeling broken, ah?”

When it came to this topic, Duan Jiashu became unhappy. “What, I can’t even post now? I didn’t write any text, and I only posted a photo.” Because Duan Jiashu loved reporting comments on the Internet, Wen-ge didn’t usually let him post on Weibo, especially posts with text. If he really wanted to share photos, he wouldn’t write any captions. Now, speaking of this matter, Duan Jiashu felt aggrieved, like he was a person of integrity, but even his right to post on Weibo was monitored, it was simply quite sad for this society. No wonder the Internet is full of stupidnetizens saying “hahaha”, they lack positive energy. 

“The time and place of your post was too coincidental, just after the duo posted a photo, you posted your lonely shadow? Then dare you say you didn’t know when you were recording in the show together?”

Duan Jiashu didn’t speak, of course he knew. Liu Yanhui and You Xin took pictures and posted blogs of the whole process he saw. Duan Jiashu saw them selling CP and hated it, so he deliberately posted to steal the limelight. But he couldn’t tell Wen-ge this.

Duan Jiashu replied after a while, “I didn’t think too much, I just thought that I haven’t posted in a long time, and I wanted to satisfy the fans.”

Wen-ge looked at Duan Jiashu’s expression and squinted. He had known Duan Jiashu for so long, he could read all Duan Jiashu’s 180 expressionless faces, so he could tell that the other was a bit sheepish when he said this. What’s more, with his knowledge of his own artist, he knew very well that the other party was a person who did things based on his own likes and dislikes, and it was basically impossible for him to think of giving fanservice.

Although he understood very well in his heart, Wen-ge didn’t expose him, only slowing down his next words, “Forget it, it was a coincidence then. You’re already an adult, so pay more attention when you do things. You and You Xin can get along and you actually don’t have to be so tense, if you don’t say a word, it’d make people feel strange. Just treat him as an ordinary colleague that you ‘re working with, ba. And even then, you and him selling CP is also nothing, having a CP with another man doesn’t affect your reputation so even if it was popular, there’s no harm. I was just afraid you’d get annoyed at first, so I told you to pay attention and ignore him.”

Duan Jiashu lowered his eyes and nodded, “I know.”

Then he was very sure to emphasize, “But I will not sell CP.”

You Xin’s face was full of pondering, and he didn’t know how to tell Duan Jiashu this. In the end, it was Duan Jiashu himself who first came to the door.

“I’ll follow your Weibo, you quickly follow back.”

“Ah?” so Duan Jiashu didn’t come to find him to settle accounts, and now they’ll follow one another on Weibo? 

“The other guests already follow one another, so it isn’t good for us to not follow each other. Although we’re not selling CP, we should still get along normally, so that it also saves the audience from thinking we have a bad relationship.”

“Oh, that’s a good idea.” he didn’t expect Duan Jiashu to suddenly become so nice and reasonable, so You Xin was flattered. He immediately clicked into Weibo to follow him. But after they became Weibo mutuals, Duan Jiashu hadn’t left yet. You Xin hesitated for a moment then decided to speak, “Uh… Duan laoshi, sometimes it isn’t convenient to communicate directly while recording the program, so you see… if we can add each—”

“Okay, then how about adding each other on WeChat? Sometimes you couldn’t even figure out what I’m trying to imply while recording, and I’m quite troubled.”

You Xin: … 

There’s probably no person in this world who can figure out what you even mean. He thought. Never mind, that wasn’t the point… Duan Jiashu must’ve taken the wrong medicine, how could he be so good to talk to today, ah? It’s simply quite magical. Sure enough, after the two people added one another on WeChat, Duan Jiashu stressed, “You aren’t allowed to give my WeChat to other people, but those in my friends list can give likes.”

You Xin resisted the urge to roll his eyes, but he smiled and nodded. He was starting to regret adding each other on WeChat a little bit.

The morning’s shooting had the main cast staying in the courtyard to work on the scene. Duan Jiashu was responsible for assembling furniture while You Xin was responsible for cooking.

The special guest for that day was a female celebrity who had been chattering about wanting to try You Xin’s dishes. You Xin was always better tempered with girls, so he let her request a few dishes. When the girl was speaking, Duan Jiashu was busy loading the table legs on one side. You Xin subconsciously glanced in his direction, and he saw the other’s serious face looking at the table legs, as he was in the process of making artwork, and seemed completely unmoved by what was happening in his surroundings. 

You Xin’s heart subtly moved, although he doesn’t quite understand what Duan Jiashu was thinking every day, he knew that the other was a person who cared a lot about food, otherwise, he wouldn’t have stolen those cookies in the middle of the night. It was strange that he didn’t say anything even when he saw the other cast requesting dishes now. But it’s good that he’s currently not a meddlesome demon. You Xin secretly nodded to himself and returned to his position in the kitchen .

Just after entering the kitchen, his phone rang. You Xin took his phone out and saw that Duan Jiashu had sent him a WeChat.

【I’m hungry.】.

You Xin pursed his lips, really, what should’ve come still came in the end. He sighed and replied:【The meal isn’t ready yet, go to the bedroom to get some snacks to eat instead~】. 

【But I don’t want to eat snacks, I want to eat something hot [aggravated]]

He also sent an [aggravated] emoji. What is this, acting cute? Think you’re in kindergarten class, ah? You Xin quietly rolled his eyes. From the kitchen window, he looked at Duan Jiashu in the courtyard, he saw him twist a screw, then after a moment, looked at his phone. His face was expressionless like there was nothing wrong at all.

He just wanted to send a “don’t be annoying” when he received another WeChat message.

【Our newcomer colleague, why did you make the newcomer order food, but you won’t cook food for me to eat? [Crying]】 

You Xin: …

He really couldn’t stand how such a big man could send a WeChat message like that and act cute.

You Xin got goosebumps and rubbed his body. He didn’t want to see Duan Jiashu’s WeChat messages again, so he simply shouted in the direction of the courtyard, “Duan Jiashu, come over, I’ll give you the special attention you want!”

The moment he spoke those words, the people in the courtyard immediately looked over with piercing eyes. You Xin was startled and only realized afterwards that he had taken quite the risk. They were still a recording program, how could he forget? 

The corners of Duan Jiashu’s mouth lifted slightly, but when he lifted his head he frowned, “I’m not done with my work yet though? Wait a little longer, ba.”

Yuan Feng, who was working next to him, gave him a thumbs up. A few girls also called out, “Xin Xin is so good to Duan laoshi, so envious, ah~”

You Xin: …

You Xin then received a WeChat message from Duan Jiashu. 

【How come you shouted it directly, didn’t you agree not to sell CP? You’re making it hard for me to do this.】

You Xin: 【Sorry, sorry (?﹏?)】

Duan Jiashu: 【Don’t be cute】

You Xin: … 

QNMLGB! How could he have thought that Duan Jiashu would become any better! He’d only become more and more difficult to handle, ba!
