The Daily Life of a Male God Teasing a Shou - Chapter 3
Chapter 3
Afterwards, the group went to sing karaoke. Most of these individuals were idol actors and idol singers at the same time. Although their singing wasn’t necessarily breathtaking, they had all undergone professional training; at the very least, they wouldn’t go out of tune, and their repertoire of songs was extensive. Consequently, the atmosphere for singing was even more explosive than the dinner had been.
High-pitched laughter and playful shouting occasionally drifted out from the soundproof private room.
Yan Yifan stood in the center of the room and sang a rendition of Goodbye Kiss: “The past has turned to clouds and smoke, dissipating before each other’s eyes, even after saying goodbye…”
Cheers broke out continuously. Halfway through Yan Yifan’s love song, during the climax, many people started heckling: “Ohhh~ Kiss her! Kiss her!”
Yan Yifan had frequented these kinds of occasions since childhood; he knew singing, drinking, and socializing inside out. He had also dabbled in piano and other instruments. Combined with his elegant posture and handsome face, he could have entered the entertainment industry directly to rake in money. However, Yan Yifan had no such hobby; he preferred a relaxed life. His family had plenty of money, and his older brother protected him, so why would he wade into those muddy waters? Thus, although Yan Yifan had a lazy personality, he truly attracted many girls.
At this moment, Shen Leilei felt a stir of emotion. She leaned in to hug Yan Yifan, wanting to kiss him, but Yan Yifan dodged it.
Shen Leilei felt a bit embarrassed. Yan Yifan placed one hand lightly on her shoulder while holding the microphone in the other, continuing to sing affectionately: “I kiss you goodbye, on the deserted street, letting the wind mock me for being unable to refuse…”
“Why is Master Yan still shy!” The crowd burst into continuous laughter.
Shen Leilei, however, was unhappy. She had previously only heard that Yan Yifan was fickle, didn’t like to take advantage of girls, and was generous. Indeed, during their first contacts, Shen Leilei felt that having such a boyfriend was quite good. Yet, the more they interacted, the unhappier she became. Was her charm insufficient? Shen Leilei recalled her past boyfriends; none of them would refrain from touching her at all after dating for a month. Her gaze toward Yan Yifan carried hints of frustration, anger, and oddness.
Once the song ended, Yan Yifan handed the microphone to someone else and led Shen Leilei back down, sitting right next to Bai Jiangnan. Shen Leilei remained silent; after sitting down, she began chatting with Qiao Yike nearby.
Yan Yifan took a sip of alcohol, his watery “peach blossom eyes” carrying a hazy drunken mist that looked very attractive.
Suppressing the stirrings in his heart, Bai Jiangnan said, “You sing quite well.”
“Of course, definitely better than you, right? How come you’ve been sitting here so long without getting up to belt out a song?”
Bai Jiangnan raised an eyebrow and looked at him with a smile. “What do you want to hear?”
Yan Yifan’s little heart thumped rapidly, but on the surface, he remained cavalier. “Just sing Love Until Death! Do you dare? If your voice cracks, I’ll record it as ‘black material’ (scandalous footage)!”
Bai Jiangnan gave a light chuckle, walked over, and selected a song.
Yan Yifan cupped his hands around his mouth and made several “Ohh!” sounds: “Ohhh! Who’s next? Our Bai Jiangnan is up! He’s going to bring us a rendition of Love Until Death. Come on, let’s clap!”
“Ohhh! Welcome, welcome!”
“The next one is mine, let Bai Jiangnan go first!”
Before long, it was Bai Jiangnan’s turn. He walked over, picked up the microphone, gave a couple of light coughs, and began to sing.
“Love until death… Treat every day as if it were the end of the world to love, every minute and second is so beautiful that tears fall, ignoring whether others see it as good or bad…”
His voice was of the slightly deep variety. The decadent tone he used was a perfect fit for the song. Filtered through the microphone, it was unexpectedly stunning like whispering love words into one’s ear making Yan Yifan’s ears feel tingly and numb, turning red and hot in no time.
“Love until death, it’s not satisfying unless it’s thorough, only this is enough to confess how deep the feelings are…” Reaching the climax, Bai Jiangnan’s voice soared, broad as if he could keep fighting for hundreds of years.
“Love until death!” Yan Yifan sang along with Bai Jiangnan, almost shouting it out.
Bai Jiangnan looked back at him, his eyes full of mirth. Everyone roared with laughter, and soon, the room was filled with the continuous “wolf howls” of the crowd.
After laughing for a while, Yan Yifan leaned close to Shen Leilei’s ear and whispered something to her. Shen Leilei shook her head, a happy smile on her face. Yan Yifan then walked out alone. He went to the lobby to get some fresh air and stopped by the front desk to swipe his card. Just as he was about to leave, a voice from behind stopped him.
“Master Yan is leaving just like that?” It was Bai Jiangnan.
Yan Yifan turned around, his keychain swaying cheerfully in his hand. “Just out for some fresh air.”
Bai Jiangnan walked over to stand side-by-side with him. “The private room is quite stuffy. Want to take a walk together?”
Yan Yifan couldn’t bear to leave the beauty within arm’s reach, so naturally, he agreed. The two walked slowly outside.
Although the September air was still sweltering, there was a breeze at night. The evening wind blew, bringing traces of coolness.
There were quite a few snack stalls along the street. Having drunk a lot of liquid earlier and just having relieved himself, the scent of sweet corn made him crave a snack.
Yan Yifan’s gaze was fixed intently on the roasted sweet corn. Bai Jiangnan suddenly said, “Corn want some?”
“Didn’t you eat well just now? Yo, next time I treat, no one is allowed to leave until they’re full!” Yan Yifan wanted to eat it himself, but he acted like an “elite” in front of Bai Jiangnan, speaking in a roundabout way.
Bai Jiangnan remained non-committal. He walked over to the vendor, ordered two sweet corns, and handed one to Yan Yifan.
Yan Yifan took it and immediately went to bite into it, only to let go with a “hiss,” saying indistinctly, “So hot.”
Seeing his impatient manner, Bai Jiangnan’s eyes curved slightly.
Once the corn had cooled a bit, Yan Yifan nibbled on it slowly. It was charred, fragrant, sweet, and crisp, with a fresh aroma. With one bite, it was full of sweet juice. It was so delicious! Yan Yifan felt sweet and happy in his heart. While eating, he said, “I didn’t bring change. What’s your WeChat? I’ll pay you back.”
Bai Jiangnan: “Sure.”
Yan Yifan: == Shouldn’t a normal person say ‘forget about it’? Well, whatever, I only wanted to add his WeChat anyway. Without overthinking it, Yan Yifan took out his phone and said, “Scan me.”
The two added each other on WeChat and exchanged phone numbers as well.
Yan Yifan sent a 5-yuan “Red Packet” (Red Envelope) over. “Wishing you great fortune!” Then he laughed secretly, wondering if Bai Jiangnan would understand the hidden meaning, hahaha.
A moment later, it showed that Bai Jiangnan had collected the change and then sent a picture: Thank you, treat you to chicken.JPG
Yan Yifan: ==
He looked up; Bai Jiangnan had put away his phone and gave him a smile. It was a very pure, very “straight man” smile.
Yan Yifan put away his phone. A few girls walked over, one of whom asked bravely, “Excuse me, are you Bai Jiangnan?”
Bai Jiangnan put his index finger to his lips with a “shhh,” smiling in an exceptionally alluring way. “It’s a secret~”
The girls jumped up in silent screams. One of them asked tentatively, “Can you give us an autograph? We really like you!” The others also looked at Bai Jiangnan with expectant eyes. Bai Jiangnan nodded gently. “Of course.” After speaking, he pointed to a corner. “Let’s go over there.”
They walked over, and Bai Jiangnan signed for each of them and took a group photo. Finally, he treated them each to a roasted sweet corn.
Bai Jiangnan: “It’s late, so don’t eat anything else. Roasted corn is fragrant and sweet, and the calories are low. Eat this.”
The girls were incredibly moved, confessing their love for him one after another and saying they would definitely watch his drama when it came out.
After bidding them farewell, Yan Yifan pretended to act casually. “My little cousin also quite likes you. Give me an autograph too.”
Bai Jiangnan looked at him. “Alright, where should I sign?”
Under Bai Jiangnan’s gaze, Yan Yifan almost thought his lie had been seen through. Luckily, Bai Jiangnan spoke at last. Yan Yifan quickly took out his wallet, pretending to be casual. “Just sign on this. That kid has wanted this wallet for a long time.”
Looking at the Luffy icon on the wallet, Bai Jiangnan was silent for a moment. He looked up at Yan Yifan, whose dark eyes were darting around as he plotted who-knows-what, and felt he was simply dying of the cuteness: How can this “straight guy” be so adorable? If he were gay, I’d swallow him whole in a second!
“What should I write?”
“Whatever!”
“Does she have a boyfriend?”
“Huh?” Yan Yifan was so nervous that sweat beads appeared on his nose.
Bai Jiangnan shook the wallet: “Does your little cousin have a boyfriend?”
Yan Yifan breathed a sigh of relief. “She’s only in elementary school; what boyfriend could she have? How old is she to be thinking of early romance!”
With an “Oh,” Bai Jiangnan picked up the pen and lowered his head.
Yan Yifan stared intently at his writing, sighing with admiration. Damn it, is this guy trying to drive everyone else to their deaths? How can his face be so handsome, his body so good, and even his damn hands look like a pianist’s long and straight! It really makes one love and hate him!
“Here!” Bai Jiangnan capped the pen and handed the wallet to Yan Yifan.
Yan Yifan had just been distracted by his hands; now his gaze swept over the wallet: Wishing the cute little sister finds a handsome boyfriend! 😀
Yan Yifan: ==
Bai Jiangnan: “How is it? Am I not very considerate?”
Yan Yifan: “Signing it like this…” How am I supposed to use it now?
Bai Jiangnan said matter-of-factly, “I heard little girls nowadays are very precocious. She’ll surely be very happy to see my blessing!”
Yan Yifan: “Heh, yeah, she’ll definitely be very happy.” To hell with ‘little sister’ and ‘boyfriend’!
Bai Jiangnan: “I have limited edition posters back at my place. Should I give them to her?”
Yan Yifan gritted his teeth: “Yes!” Why wouldn’t I? I’ve made such a huge sacrifice!
