The Daily Life of a Male God Teasing a Shou - Chapter 12

Chapter 12

Yan Yifan asked tentatively, “How about I stay with you? What do you want to eat?”

Bai Jiangnan glanced at him. “Why are you staying with me? With such a great time of night, isn’t it a waste not to flirt with girls?”

Yan Yifan put his arm around his shoulder and said, “Aiya, we’re friends! For a friend, I’d take a knife to the ribs. What do girls matter?”

Bai Jiangnan laughed. He laughed so handsomely that Yan Yifan didn’t know how to describe it; he only felt clusters of fireworks in his mind go shoo into the sky and then explode! Mama, mama, mama! How can he be this handsome! This is totally cheating! This is practically a naked temptation, ahhhh!!!

Bai Jiangnan: “Is that what you said?”

Yan Yifan agreed dizzily, “Isn’t it just watching you film? It’s a good chance to manually observe the production level of the crew.”

With a faint smile on his face, Bai Jiangnan hooked shoulders with him and said, “If you run away, I’ll have to break your legs!”

Yan Yifan: “Don’t worry! I’ll wait for you! It’s just four scenes!”

Just four scenes?

By the time Yan Yifan had waited from 8:30 until 12:00, he was leaning in his chair “fishing” (nodding off), feeling more dead than alive.

Yan Yifan: “I… I’ll head…” back first.

“What?” Bai Jiangnan looked at him and said with a laugh, “You actually held out until now? That’s quite unexpected!”

The words Yan Yifan was about to say couldn’t come out; they got stuck in his throat. He shot back, “Of course!”

Just as Yan Yifan was about to fall asleep sitting in the chair, Bai Jiangnan’s part finally finished filming.

Bai Jiangnan: “Get up! I’m treating you to late-night snacks!”

Yan Yifan opened his eyes dazed, and then suddenly widened them, staring straight at Bai Jiangnan, who was above his cheek and no more than ten centimeters away. That immensely handsome face pressed down so much that Yan Yifan found it hard to breathe. After a good while, he asked in a strained voice, “Wh—what is it?”

Bai Jiangnan reached out his hand. Yan Yifan’s breath almost stopped, and his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

Bai Jiangnan pinched a thin flower petal from Yan Yifan’s cheek and said, “I thought it was a bug.”

His warm breath seemed to still linger around Yan Yifan, enveloping him. Yan Yifan was now completely wide awake, his head full of [Bai Jiangnan’s]* handsome face. He said with a lack of confidence, “Oh.”

Bai Jiangnan looked at him and smiled. “Then get up. What do you want to eat? My treat!”

Yan Yifan blinked his big eyes, his thick and long eyelashes like small fans fluttering like butterfly wings. He thought blankly for a moment and said, “Whatever.” He added, “I want to eat meat!”

So cute! Bai Jiangnan suppressed a smile and said, “Then fresh meat wontons, the big ones!”

The two of them walked out together.

At this moment, there were few people left in Hengdian. Occasionally, a few shops were still open. Yan Yifan was about to go inside when Bai Jiangnan put his hand on his shoulder and said, “Turn left ahead; there’s a place where the wontons are very authentic.”

Yan Yifan gave an “oh” and continued walking expressionlessly.

The two arrived in front of a clean little shop, pushed the door open, and went in. There weren’t many people inside. The two went to a corner seat and ordered two bowls of wontons.

“Coming right up!” the boss responded.

Yan Yifan sat down and accidentally looked up to see Bai Jiangnan’s smiling face. He felt a bit nervous and asked, “What are you doing?”

Bai Jiangnan: “Thank you, for staying with me so late.”

Yan Yifan coughed and pretended to be magnanimous, saying, “It’s nothing! I just saw you’re a single young man and wanted to give you a bit of warmth!”

Bai Jiangnan smiled without speaking. Yan Yifan felt his face burning a little. What straight man would stay with another straight man during filming from 8:30 to 12:00? Holy crap! I accidentally fell for it! I haven’t been exposed, have I?

“Two bowls of wontons!” The boss interrupted at the right time.

Yan Yifan quickly used his spoon to stir them, acting as if he were extremely hungry, blowing twice before eating. Then, as expected, he got burned.

“What’s the rush? Quick, spit it out!” Bai Jiangnan saw his eyes turn red from the heat and hurriedly moved a small saucer over.

Yan Yifan swallowed the heat directly. Bai Jiangnan hurriedly handed over the ice water.

Only after drinking two gulps of ice water did Yan Yifan feel a bit better.

Bai Jiangnan put a straw in and said, “Keep it in your mouth for a bit.”

Yan Yifan held it in: Damn it! This is so embarrassing! I can’t face anyone anymore, ahhhh!!!!

Bai Jiangnan secretly laughed in his heart while keeping a straight face. Yan Yifan is really so cute! Cute to the heavens!

After eating for a while, Yan Yifan continued to flirt with [interact with] him: “Hey, a single dog like me only has friends. I have quite a few scenes these next few days; why don’t you help me take a look and see if my acting is okay?”

How could Yan Yifan refuse? He nodded without even thinking about it, completely forgetting to consider how conspicuous it would be for a “straight” man to abandon his beautiful girlfriend to accompany another man every day!

Bai Jiangnan: “Hey, from now on you’re my iron brother! If anything comes up, just say it!”

Yan Yifan’s heart blossomed with joy! Hahahahahahaha! He finally broke into the inner circle of straight men!

After eating their late-night snack, the two went back together. Yan Yifan was extremely happy, dragging Bai Jiangnan along while talking about this and that. He almost exposed the fact that he loves gossip.

Yan Yifan had come from a wealthy family since childhood and had many friends, but they always changed in waves. Furthermore, after he discovered his sexual orientation in high school, he distanced himself from typical straight male friends. Therefore, it could be said that his only best, heart-to-heart friend was Lu Liming. And now, [Bai Jiangnan] said they were iron brothers; although they weren’t the type of friends who could say anything yet, they were still much closer. This big progress made Yan Yifan’s mood feel as if it were floating among the white clouds.

Bai Jiangnan also found that Yan Yifan was much livelier tonight. The two talked as they walked, and the smiles on their faces never faded. Occasionally hooking shoulders, they were as natural as two straight men. As for how they felt in their hearts, only the two of them knew.

The next day, Yan Yifan went to find Shen Leilei. Shen Leilei was laughing and chatting with several actors, showing no signs of unhappiness.

Someone nudged Shen Leilei and pointed at Yan Yifan with a smile. Shen Leilei walked over with a face full of smiles and called out, “Yifan~”

This call was three times more affectionate than usual, making Yan Yifan even more curious. Shen Leilei wasn’t angry anymore? Yan Yifan didn’t show his inner thoughts; unless facing those closest to him, he generally wouldn’t let his inner thoughts show. Yan Yifan smiled, “I’m off work. How about you?”

Shen Leilei walked over and hugged his arm, blinking her big eyes at him. “Yifan, I was sensible the other day and had a fight with you. Don’t be mad at me.”

Yan Yifan was even more surprised and said, “How could I be mad at you? It’s good that you’ve come around.”

Shen Leilei giggled, “I know all about how good you are to me. I’ve already come around.”

Yan Yifan smiled: “Let’s go eat together after work? Should I go shopping with you?”

Shen Leilei: “No need, I’m going eating and shopping with my sisters. I was too nonsensical before, always making you accompany me.”

Yan Yifan: “…You really don’t need me to accompany you?”

Shen Leilei hooked his hand and said, “No, I’ll be with my sisters.”

Yan Yifan still wasn’t used to it and said, “Then tell me if anything happens.”

Shen Leilei: “Mm-hm~” She bid a sweet and affectionate farewell to Yan Yifan and then walked away, swaying her lithe figure on thin high heels.

Yan Yifan looked at her back and thought: Has she been hijacked by aliens?

It’s fine as long as she’s come around. Yan Yifan shrugged. Turning around, Yi Ke was standing to the side, smiling at him.

Yan Yifan returned the smile. Yi Ke walked over and said, “Young Master Yan is truly at ease with his girlfriend.”

“What do you mean?” Yan Yifan asked.

Yi Ke smiled, said nothing, and left.

Yan Yifan: “…”

A moment later, Bai Jiangnan walked over wearing his costume. “What was Yi Ke saying to you just now?”

Yan Yifan: “…Uh, nothing.” What Yi Ke said had no beginning or end; Yan Yifan felt it was quite baffling.

Bai Jiangnan hooked his arm around Yan Yifan’s shoulder: “Go eat?”

Yan Yifan: “Sure!” O(∩_∩)O

The two went to eat together. After eating, they strolled around with their arms around each other’s shoulders. After wandering, they went back to play games together until 9:00, when Bai Jiangnan went back.

Yan Yifan took a bottle of water from the fridge to drink. WeChat pinged. Yan Yifan walked over; Shen Leilei had sent several links: “Does Hubby like these?”

Yan Yifan clicked them open; they were all shoes, bags, cosmetics, dresses, and the like. Yan Yifan: “They’re all okay.”

Shen Leilei: “Hubby, help me pick a few~”

Yan Yifan selected payment for all of them and said, “If you like them all, then have them all.”

Shen Leilei: “Thank you, Hubby! Love you most~(づ￣3￣)づ╭❤～”

After saying this, Shen Leilei said a few more things, all very affectionate. Yan Yifan scrolled up. To be honest, if one only looked at the WeChat chat, one would really think they were a couple in a passionate relationship.

Unfortunately, they weren’t.

Yan Yifan was a standard night-owl. Even though he worked now and got up at 8:00 every day, he still couldn’t sleep any earlier. With nothing to do, Yan Yifan opened WeChat, Weibo, forums… after wandering through them all, he lay on the sofa like a salted fish: So bored~

Out of boredom, Yan Yifan dug out his documents, looked at the previous few chapters, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, then started typing.

He wrote on and off for over an hour and only managed seven hundred words.

Yan Yifan couldn’t sit still anymore. He abandoned the document and went to read novels. Before long, he was laughing out loud, immersed in them.

So, Lu Liming understood Yan Yifan best. He once said that Yan Yifan looked like a bright and beautiful dandy, but in essence, he was just an otaku. Only in front of acquaintances would his silly and cute side show through.

And now, as the relationship between Yan Yifan and Bai Jiangnan becomes better and better, will his mask be able to continue covering him?
