Chapter 25: What is Our Relationship
“Let’s talk.”
Feng Yan stood on the side, looking at Yu Weixi.
“Splash splash.” The faucet was still running. Yu Weixi stared blankly at Feng Yan, his hands under the water.
Huh?
Feng Yan reached out and turned off the faucet. “Little Dance King, if you have any opinions about me, say them all at once now.”
Yu Weixi looked up at the tall man in front of him. He was standing right in front of him, casting a dark shadow over him, a little forceful and a little domineering.
Yu Weixi rolled his eyes. “No opinions.”
Feng Yan raised an eyebrow. “Then why do you treat me like you’re shooing away a dog?”
“I’d shoo away a pig too.” Yu Weixi said speechlessly, “What have I done to you? How do you want me to treat you? I’m like this with everyone around me.”
“At least don’t be like you’re shooing away a pig.” Feng Yan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Can’t you be a little nicer?”
“Why should I be particularly nice to you? What is our relationship?” Yu Weixi didn’t even look at Feng Yan. He turned on the faucet and continued to wash his hands and face.
Feng Yan was taken aback.
“We’re just in a working relationship. What else do you want from me?” Yu Weixi bared his teeth. “What? Do you want me to treat you as warmly as spring, like a boyfriend?”
Feng Yan looked at Yu Weixi and didn’t speak.
“Film Emperor Feng, Senior Feng.” Yu Weixi raised an eyebrow. “You look so proper on the surface. What, do you want to cross the line with everyone?”
“I’m not like that with everyone…” Feng Yan paused and frowned. “No, that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about…”
…What was he talking about?
Yu Weixi sneered, “You’re talking about the confusing behavior of Senior Feng coming to ask me to improve our relationship.”
Feng Yan: “…”
Yu Weixi flicked the water droplets from his hands and turned to leave.
…
“Yan-ge is back.”
Feng Yan got in the car. The young assistant smiled. “I’ve already delivered the lunch boxes. The students asked me to thank you.”
“Mmm.”
Feng Yan sat in the back seat, his legs crossed, his face a little ugly.
The young assistant paused and asked cautiously, “Did you argue with Mr. Yu?”
Feng Yan paused and asked curiously, “How did you know I argued with him?”
The assistant smiled. “That’s easy to guess! Besides Mr. Yu, no one can make your expression change like that.”
Is that so…
Feng Yan lowered his eyes, unable to help but recall what Yu Weixi had said earlier.
Yu Weixi said they just have an ordinary relationship.
Feng Yan frowned slightly.
It seemed that was indeed the case. Then… why did he go to find Yu Weixi tonight? Feng Yan had never thought about dating, but what if… he really did date Yu Weixi?
Feng Yan couldn’t help but start to imagine what it would be like if he were to date Yu Weixi.
For the first time, Feng Yan imagined a life with another person, and that person was Yu Weixi.
The proud Yu Weixi, the irritable and sharp Yu Weixi.
Yu Weixi has probably forgotten, Feng Yan thought. He should have forgotten.
The first time he and Yu Weixi met was not at the briefing for The Coast’s Solitude, but earlier.
Feng Yan still remembered. At that time, he was still a minor actor. He had gone to the US with the crew and his seniors to film. The theme was slightly related to dance, so the crew had hired a dance troupe. The dance troupe lived opposite their filming location.
That was when Feng Yan met Yu Weixi.
When everyone was asleep, the young boy would secretly go to the dance studio to continue practicing. The young boy seemed very tired, and his talent was not good. But every time Feng Yan finished filming a night scene, he could see him still practicing, so tired he could barely move, still polishing his moves.
Then, the young boy would tell others that he hadn’t practiced for long.
Feng Yan had always remembered the young boy’s flushed cheeks, his determined eyes as if he were fighting for his life, and his hair completely soaked with sweat.
This was probably the most unyielding person Feng Yan had ever met.
So Feng Yan always couldn’t help but secretly send him food.
And then until they met again, on the set, the young boy was already a beautiful and popular idol, always keeping a thin layer of ice between himself and others.
“Buzz buzz…”
The vibrating phone in his pocket interrupted Feng Yan’s thoughts. Feng Yan took a look and frowned.
Feng Yan paused for a moment, then answered the call.
“Father.”
“Mmm, it’s your mother’s birthday tomorrow. Remember to come back for a meal.” A stern voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Okay.”
The only thing that connects me to that family are these special occasions, Feng Yan thought.
Feng Yan sighed, turned off his phone, and leaned against the back seat pillow to rest with his eyes closed.
On the other side, Yu Weixi had also returned home.
“Daddy!” Niangao immediately rushed up and gave Yu Weixi a big hug. Nuomi also came up and rubbed against Yu Weixi’s pant leg.
Yu Weixi patted Niangao’s head, thinking that his own son was the best.
Yu Weixi held Niangao in one hand and Nuomi in the other and went to the kitchen, preparing to add cat food for Nuomi.
Nuomi was still small, so Yu Weixi soaked the cat food in warm goat’s milk for easy digestion. After finishing with Nuomi’s, Yu Weixi turned to prepare Niangao’s.
Niangao stood on the side, looking up at the busy Yu Weixi. After some hesitation, he carefully reached out and tugged at Yu Weixi’s pants.
“What’s wrong?”
Niangao muttered in a low voice, “The school is having a, a parent-child sports day next week!”
Yu Weixi’s hands paused.
Last year, Yu Weixi hadn’t gone. Because last year was when the rumors that Niangao was his illegitimate son were at their peak. In order to prove to the public that Niangao was just his “nephew,” Yu Weixi had chosen not to go, and instead had Niangao tell the other children that his parents were on a business trip.
“Can Daddy go?”
Yu Weixi lowered his eyes. “Did the teacher say it’s mandatory to go?”
“No, no…”
“Daddy is busy with work and might not be able to go.” Yu Weixi squatted down and pinched Niangao’s cheek. “Can Niangao go by himself?”
“Okay…”
“I’m sorry.” Yu Weixi reached out and hugged Niangao.
He just didn’t want others to gossip about Niangao.
“It’s okay! If Daddy doesn’t go, then I don’t have to run.” Niangao grinned.
“Mmm-hmm.” Yu Weixi gave Niangao a “mwah” on the cheek and led him to the living room to do his homework.
Yu Weixi taught Niangao how to count. Niangao held his pen and seriously wrote rows of crooked numbers on the paper.
While Niangao was writing on his own, Yu Weixi scrolled through his phone.
Yu Weixi: “…”
Yu Weixi: “??????”
@TheCoastsSolitudeOfficial: The once-moving The Coast’s Solitude is about to be rebooted. The second season, I Can See Your Solitude, is about to start filming. The emotion continues, the warmth lasts forever! Are you ready? Our new merman—@LuoYucheng_AlwaysWorkingHard and our new little president—@JiShilin
@TheCoastsSolitudeOfficial: Do you still remember the recklessness of the past, and your FengYu ship? Do you still remember the laughter and tears of that time? Follow me, Little Hai’s footsteps, and let’s relive the past together! Good news, from now on, we will be releasing behind-the-scenes footage of the FengYu ship from back then to help everyone get familiar with the new drama!
Behind-the-scenes footage…
The behind-the-scenes footage of the FengYu ship from back then…
Yu Weixi: “…”
A remake? O-fucking-K, nbcs.
They cast Luo Yucheng? O-fucking-K.
Rehashing old material and using him and Feng Yan as a gimmick to attract attention, also O-fucking-K.
But releasing behind-the-scenes footage…
Hello??
Hello???
Yu Weixi’s eyes widened. Are you guys sick in the head?? Releasing behind-the-scenes footage after four years, what the fuck for! Isn’t this rehashing old material a little too shameless?
Yu Weixi was at a loss for words.
…
…Behind-the-scenes footage?
Feng Yan had just taken a shower and was about to go to bed when he saw the news.
Wow.
Feng Yan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. This team was too good, weren’t they?
The way they were riding on the hype was simply too bizarre, and their ambition to make money was a little too obvious.
But although the operation was shameless, and Yu Weixi’s and Feng Yan’s solo stans were protesting the production team’s excessive consumption of the two of them, constantly dragging them back, more people were… happy to see it.
So, amidst the discussion, the official account uploaded the first behind-the-scenes video.
It was Yu Weixi’s and Feng Yan’s first scene, and also the poster shoot.
…
The coast in winter was very cold, especially since Yu Weixi was playing a merman and could only wear thin clothes and soak in the water.
Yu Weixi was so cold that his lips and cheeks were pale, and he had to keep touching up his makeup to cover it.
If one looked closely, one could see Yu Weixi’s body trembling slightly. He probably wasn’t used to it yet.
At this moment, Yu Weixi was lying in the water, looking up at Feng Yan. Feng Yan, on the other hand, was wearing a handsome black coat, sitting on the shore and looking down at Yu Weixi.
The photography studio on the side was filming, looking for a good angle for the poster.
Because the two were very close, Feng Yan could see that Yu Weixi’s hands were clenched into fists, and his whole body was trembling.
And it just so happened that the cold wind was rampant that night.
“Alright! Take a break.”
After the photography studio called for a break, before the assistant could hand Yu Weixi a towel, he saw Feng Yan take off his coat and cover Yu Weixi with it.
Yu Weixi looked at Feng Yan with some surprise.
Feng Yan pulled Yu Weixi into his arms and wrapped him in the coat. “Make do with it.”
Feng Yan’s embrace was very warm.
So the photography studio stopped the assistant who wanted to go forward, pressed the shutter, and froze the image of Feng Yan hugging Yu Weixi.
One of the promotional posters was of the merman and the little president looking at each other, one in the water, one on the shore.
The other, the little president was covering the merman with his coat, holding him loosely in his arms as if to give him warmth, his eyes gentle and pained, with fine snow falling behind him.
