The Daily Life of a Male God Teasing a Shou - Chapter 11

Chapter 11

The two of them left the stage amidst the crowd’s jeers. Yan Yifan was exceptionally embarrassed; the way everyone looked at him made his face turn red, and Bai Jiangnan’s gaze also seemed to carry a hint of playfulness. Yan Yifan felt a bit uneasy. Due to his family situation, he was deeply closeted; he had thought many times about coming out to his older brother, but in the end, he never dared to do it.

Was I exposed? Probably not, right? It was just everyone’s teasing, surely? On the internet nowadays, people were much more tolerant of homosexuality than before, and “fan service” (queerbaiting/bromance marketing) occurred frequently. Most of the time, this kind of fanservice was fake, whereas real gays generally wouldn’t be so high-profile. So, the two of them spending Wine Valentine’s Day together was this just being “shipped” by the masses?

Once he figured this out, Yan Yifan immediately felt a lot more relaxed. He looked at Bai Jiangnan, who was smiling as he hooked an arm around Yan Yifan’s shoulder. “Aiya, this is truly worth celebrating.” As he spoke, he held up his phone and took a selfie of the two of them.

Yan Yifan had a smile on his face that he couldn’t suppress: “What are you doing?” He knew that for someone like Bai Jiangnan in the entertainment industry with a heap of “younger sister” fans, he would definitely post this on Weibo. This feeling of secretly showing off made him feel very satisfied yet shameful. Does he know I have those kinds of feelings for him? Yan Yifan felt that a typical straight man definitely wouldn’t be able to stand it; Bai Jiangnan was such a good person, if he found out, he would surely say goodbye. Yan Yifan still wanted to be friends with Bai Jiangnan. He thought: I absolutely cannot let Bai Jiangnan know the fact that I am gay.

Bai Jiangnan looked around and went to a flower shop to buy a single rose. Then, the two of them took several selfies from different angles against a large bouquet of roses in the shop.

Bai Jiangnan posted on Weibo, and Yan Yifan leaned over to look.

Bai Jiangnan: Wine Valentine’s Day, I wish everyone is with the person they like. PS: Those who don’t have friends of the opposite sex can also spend it with friends of the same sex. In any case, you definitely won’t be as lonely as a [dog]. [tongue out] [tongue out] [tongue out]

Below were nine pictures: gourmet food, festive lanterns, roses, wine, and selfies of the two of them.

Bai Jiangnan: “How about it, am I very handsome?”

The words “Yes, you are” almost escaped his mouth, but luckily he reacted in time! Yan Yifan clicked his tongue, wearing a “you’re not all that” expression: “You’re completely overshadowed by my brilliance.”

As Yan Yifan spoke, he took out his phone and reposted the Weibo: @Bai Jiangnan Looking at it this way, I’m still the more handsome one [fingernail polish]

The two of them returned to the hotel chatting and laughing, garnering a flurry of sparkling gazes from the “rotten girls” (fujoshi).

After returning, it was already past ten o’clock. Yan Yifan had nothing to do and wasn’t sleepy. Out of boredom, he opened his computer. After an hour of agonizing back and forth, he wrote five hundred words, threw them together with a previous section of over a thousand words, and posted it as a chapter.

The comment section, which hadn’t been updated in two months, immediately exploded like a boiling pot. Many people cried as they read.

Neighbor Auntie Zhang: Wuhuuhu, how long has it been? I almost forgot the previous content, but it was actually updated!

It was updated, should I be happy or sad? I was originally about to go crazy! But he pulled me back again! QAQ

The Indescribable Secret Between Cucumber and Chrysanthemum: I bet a cucumber that the author is going to disappear for another two months!

Yan Yifan chuckled weirdly while browsing for a while, then went to sleep.

The next morning, everyone in the production crew who saw Yan Yifan asked: “Where was that night market yesterday?”

Yan Yifan gave them the address and asked: “Why is everyone suddenly so interested?”

The makeup assistant, Wang Miaomiao, looked at him timidly and said: “Can I ask you a question?”

Yan Yifan thought another beauty had been captivated by him. He tossed his hair and said: “What is it?”

Wang Miaomiao’s eyes instantly lit up: “Are you the one on the bottom?”

Yan Yifan had a shocked expression, feeling like a willow tree swaying in the mess of the wind. He pretended not to understand and said: “What ‘bottom’?”

Wang Miaomiao hesitated, poking her two index fingers together, saying: “Just, just that~”

“What are you talking about?” Bai Jiangnan walked over and put his arm around Yan Yifan’s shoulder.

Wang Miaomiao covered her face with both hands, backing away while saying: “No! No need to say more! I know everything now! I wish you a hundred years of harmony!”

Leaving two “closeted” men bewildered in the wind.

Yan Yifan: “What does she mean?”

Bai Jiangnan: “Heh, I don’t quite understand either.”

Yan Yifan opened his phone to check and found that the video of them playing the “Zhu Bajie carries his wife” game last night had already spread everywhere it was actually on the trending searches!

Bai Jiangnan leaned over to take a look, “Pfft!” He turned his head away, unable to stop laughing.

Yan Yifan: “Holy sh*t!” My image as a handsome, elegant, beloved-by-all-who-see-me beautiful youth! Ahhhhhhh!

Yan Yifan took a few deep breaths and went to check his own Weibo. Sure enough, he found that the comments under the Weibo he posted last night were almost all: “Puhahahahahahahaha!” “Wife! Hahaha! I have to change how I address you now! Little Wife Yan~” “Is Little Wife Yan so shy? Is he looking forward to the bridal chamber tonight? Hehehehe!”

Bai Jiangnan glanced at Yan Yifan. Yan Yifan had an “==” expression on his face. Bai Jiangnan quickly turned his head back and continued to “puhahaha” laugh.

Yan Yifan glared at Bai Jiangnan and walked toward the editing room. On the way, he ran into Shen Leilei. Shen Leilei was in a good mood, talking heatedly to Qiao Yike; both were beaming.

Shen Leilei caught sight of Yan Yifan out of the corner of her eye. Their eyes met, and Shen Leilei gave a sweet smile.

Yan Yifan: Not angry anymore?

Just as Yan Yifan was about to head over, he accidentally bumped into someone.

Scripts scattered all over the ground, and the person fell to the floor.

“Ah, I’m sorry!” Yan Yifan hurriedly bent down to help her up.

The person who was hit was Chu Yani. She looked at Yan Yifan and went to pick up the scripts.

“I’ll do it, I’ll do it!” Yan Yifan picked up the scripts and handed them to Chu Yani. Chu Yani lowered her eyes: “Thank you.”

Yan Yifan: “Can you stand up? Where does it hurt?” As he spoke, he supported Chu Yani.

Chu Yani stood up, her face looking a bit pale. Yan Yifan noticed her palm was scraped, so he quickly helped her to the nearest sink to rinse it. A staff member had already come over with a medical kit. Yan Yifan held Chu Yani’s hand and helped her spray on the medicine.

Chu Yani pulled her hand back and said: “It’s fine now, thank you.”

Yan Yifan smiled: “I’m the one who bumped into you, yet you’re saying thank you to me; it’s quite embarrassing. I saw you walking a bit strangely just now, did you hurt your foot?”

Chu Yani twisted her ankle and said: “It’s okay, it doesn’t hurt.”

Yan Yifan: “If it’s not swollen, it’s hard to tell. Is it this foot?” Yan Yifan pointed to Chu Yani’s left foot.

Chu Yani: “It seems to be.”

Yan Yifan: “How about this, I’ll take you to the infirmary to have it checked.”

Chu Yani wanted to refuse, but Yan Yifan said: “Go have a look. Standing all day later on won’t be good if your foot is injured.”

Yan Yifan helped Chu Yani to the infirmary and busied himself with the details. Chu Yani also transitioned from her initial awkward coldness to speaking more and more: “I’ve really troubled you today.”

Yan Yifan: “Although it’s not serious, you still have to be careful. Do you know how to use these medicines? Yunnan Baiyao should be sprayed starting 24 hours later. Same for the oral medicine, one pill at a time, three times a day, don’t forget. Where is your assistant?”

Chu Yani: “She… she had something to do and went out.”

Thinking of Chu Yani’s assistant who was always absent, Yan Yifan frowned: “What could be so important that she’s not back yet? Should I give her a call?”

Chu Yani: “No need, no need, I’ll just tell her myself.”

In the end, Yan Yifan still made a call to both Chu Yani’s manager and her assistant. After her assistant arrived, he sent her back to the crew and even spoke to the director, saying not to film Chu Yani’s parts for the next few days, or if they must, only film sitting-down dialogue scenes.

Most of the observant people in the crew took note of these things.

Yi Ke smiled very brightly: “Yo, I didn’t expect Young Master Yan to be so considerate. He and our Little White Rabbit really are a well-matched pair!” Watching Shen Leilei’s unsightly expression, Yi Ke felt a secret thrill. Why should your luck be so good?

Shen Leilei was so angry she could hardly hide it on her face. She forced a smile and said: “Yifan just likes this type of pure little white rabbit, like me, or like her. Unlike some people, who think they’re all that just because they have a big chest. This is exactly the type Yifan doesn’t like, yet they still insist on leaning in, and what happens? They just end up pressing their face against someone’s cold butt!”

Yi Ke’s smile stiffened for a moment, her tone carrying a bit of chill: “So what if I have a chest? I’m a D-cup and I’m proud. What? Is someone jealous? Yeah, compared to those flat-chested A-cups, any man would know which one tastes better.”

Shen Leilei gave her a fierce glare and walked away, swaying her willow-like waist.

Because he was looking after Chu Yani, Yan Yifan arrived late. Although he had reported in, after he arrived, the editor An Shaotao still threw a huge pile of tasks at him and ordered that they must be finished today!

Yan Yifan busied himself until eight o’clock in the evening before finally leaving the office with a dejected face. He gave Shen Leilei a call; it took a while for her to pick up.

Yan Yifan: “Where are you?”

Shen Leilei: “Eating with friends.”

Yan Yifan: “I’m working overtime tonight, enjoy your meal with your friends.”

Shen Leilei: “Okay~(づ￣3￣)づ╭❤～”

Looking at this emoticon, Yan Yifan almost thought he had seen it wrong.

Shen Leilei: “I’m chatting with friends~ Goodbye hubby~”

After this message popped up, Yan Yifan was in a state of disbelief for a while.

Yan Yifan walked toward the film set. He glanced over and happened to see Bai Jiangnan sitting in a chair. Yan Yifan walked over and patted him: “Not leaving yet?”

Bai Jiangnan glanced at him and said in a casual tone: “Unlike some young masters, I’m busy.”

Yan Yifan raised an eyebrow, sat down beside him, flipped through his script, and asked: “How many scenes left?”

Bai Jiangnan’s tone was somewhat cold: “Four scenes.”

Yan Yifan: “That’s quite a lot. Can you finish filming?” He looked at his watch. “It’s already 8:30. When will you be done?”

Bai Jiangnan: “I have to film even if it’s midnight. It’s not like anyone is ‘sponsoring’ (sugar daddying) me.”

Yan Yifan realized belatedly: He seems a bit unhappy?
