Chapter 74: The Reason I Fell in Love with You
In the end, Yu Weixi and Feng Yan found Niangao in front of an ice cream shop.
It was a rather subtle scene. Niangao stood in front of the ice cream shop, crying with his shoulders shaking, while eating ice cream. One moment he was crying for his daddy, the next he was licking the ice cream under the coaxing of the people around him, his face flushed red from crying.
And a large group of people were surrounding Niangao, coaxing him, including a boy who was several years older than him.
“Niangao…! Daddy is here!”
Yu Weixi ran up and hugged Niangao.
“Daddy!!” Niangao hugged Yu Weixi and cried, “Daddy!”
“Hey, you child. This time, it wasn’t Daddy who didn’t want you. You were the one who ran off.” Yu Weixi tapped Niangao’s nose. “I told you, don’t follow strangers when you’re out. Daddy told you to wait outside. Why did you run out?”
“Wuwuwu…” Niangao cried, “That bear was so cute…”
Yu Weixi glanced at the child standing next to Niangao. He was taller than his peers, and his face had a mature, adult-like look, even a little fierce.
But Yu Weixi had noticed before that this child had been holding Niangao’s hand before he came.
“Mr. Yu, hello.” The two men standing next to the child, one with a sharp aura, the other indifferent and elegant.
The taller man spoke with a smile, “We are the other group of guests.”
Yu Weixi nodded.
He recognized them. He had seen them before at the Arc de Triomphe. These were the amateur guests invited by the production team. Every season, the production team would have a pair of amateur families, but they usually invited families with special features and highlights.
For example, this season, it was said that both fathers were retired soldiers, so their aura was naturally different from others.
“Thank you.” Yu Weixi patted Niangao. “Did you guys find Niangao?”
“Mmm, we were taking Xiao Ning for a walk around here and happened to see Niangao crying. We recognized that he was Mr. Yu’s and Mr. Feng’s child, so we thought of taking him to buy some ice cream to coax him.” The man smiled. “Unfortunately, Niangao is not that easy to coax.”
Of course…
This spoiled brat.
Yu Weixi pinched Niangao’s cheek and said with a smile, “Why don’t you thank the uncles?”
“Thank you, uncles.” Niangao turned his head and smiled at the little boy. “Thank you, Xiao Ning-gege…!”
“Mmm.” The little boy nodded.
After Feng Yan and Yu Weixi found Niangao, they simply went for a walk with this family. They were all same-sex families who didn’t really like to shop, and they got along quite well.
Niangao had met another child and could even go shopping with him. He was very excited and kept pulling Xiao Ning-gege and chattering on.
Perhaps because he was from a military family, and Xiao Ning was a whole six years older than Niangao, he listened with great patience to the soft and sweet, clingy voice chattering in his ear.
The bullet comments were also a field of harmony as they watched the two families’ Buddhist-style shopping.
{Hahahaha, is this a family without girls? It’s so casual! Big brothers, you should at least take a picture! }
{Hahahaha, did you guys not notice that the two fathers of the Zhao family are even studying the architectural style? I feel that the two fathers of the Feng family have their eyes more on each other. Really, they’re showing off to death. The fashion street says it’s so wronged!}
{Wow… I feel sorry for the little friend, Xiao Ning. Look at his “I’d rather be dead” expression.}
{Sigh, Niangao is also too lonely. He’s never had a playmate of the same age since he was a child. And the two fathers are busy superstars.}
{It’s okay, it’s okay. Let’s wait for Xixi’s second child!}
After nightfall, everyone gathered at the hotel to prepare for dinner.
The production team had booked a specialty restaurant, a glass house on the roof of the hotel, an open-air barbecue restaurant where one could see the stars and the moon and overlook the night view of Paris.
The guests sat around and ate in harmony. The team leader, who was also the host, had been leading the topic and hyping up the atmosphere.
The other guests would be with the show for the whole season, but Feng Yan’s family were only flying guests for three episodes, so the host naturally focused more on them.
The host said to Niangao with a smile, “After a whole day together, is Niangao happy?”
“Happy!”
“Why are you happy?”
“I’m traveling with Daddy.” Niangao bared his teeth and smiled. “And I have a new friend, Xiao Ning-gege!”
“Oh?” The host turned to ask Xiao Ning, “Is Niangao your new friend?”
Xiao Ning frowned and thought for a moment, then slowly nodded.
…After all, he had listened to him talk all day.
The bullet comments were about to go crazy with laughter.
{Xiao Ning, why are you so reluctant! Hahahaha—}
{I feel that the Zhao family are all big straight men. I feel sorry for Xiao Ning’s future partner. Won’t they really be bored to death?}
“Then next, we have some questions for the parents.”
A staff member handed over a box. The host said with a smile, “There are all questions inside. You’ll be asked whatever you draw. This is our segment for tonight.”
Now it was the late-night talk segment. All the guests were with their children, quietly eating and listening.
The host randomly drew a card, then opened it and read out the sentence inside, “May I ask, Mr. Yan Xingcai, if you were given another chance to choose, would you still choose to leave the entertainment industry during the rising period of your career?”
“Ah…”
Yan Xingcai was taken aback and glanced at the man beside him who was holding his daughter and drinking soup.
The man smiled and signaled for Yan Xingcai not to worry and to just be honest.
Yan Xingcai curled his lips and looked at the host, saying firmly, “I would. I would still choose my lover.”
Yan Xingcai said, “I don’t regret it at all. On the contrary, I’m very glad for my choice. I think I made the right choice, and I’m proud of myself. If I had made the wrong choice back then, then I wouldn’t have such a happy little life now.”
The man smiled gently at Yan Xingcai.
“Oh my… that’s so good.” The male host was a single dog. Seeing that all the couples in front of him were so happy, he said sourly, “I’m so envious of you all. Then can Mr. Yan tell us the love story of you and Mr. Luo?”
“There’s nothing special. We just… grew up together, and I secretly had a crush on him. But I didn’t expect… he confessed to me first.” Yan Xingcai smiled. “At that time, I even pretended to say that I had to consider it, but in my heart, I was so happy I was about to die.”
Mr. Luo was taken aback.
“Ah…? Really?”
“No way?” The host teased, “Does Mr. Luo only know now? The matter of Mr. Yan having a crush on you.”
“Mmm…” Mr. Luo’s ears were a little red. He rubbed his nose. “I didn’t know… Xingcai never told me.”
Yan Xingcai was just all smiles.
Feng Yan also turned to look at Yu Weixi and raised a slight eyebrow.
You see, they’re just like us.
Yu Weixi stepped on Feng Yan’s foot under the table.
The host then drew again.
“Ah… it’s a Q&A for our flying guests.” The host smiled. “May I ask, Mr. Feng, why did you fall in love with Mr. Yu? What do you like about him?”
Feng Yan paused and subconsciously turned to look at Yu Weixi.
Yu Weixi’s gaze returned with a quiet, shadowy look.
Feng Yan swallowed.
This is not a life-or-death question… is it?
The live stream room was in an uproar. When the two big shots were mentioned, the bullet comments immediately increased.
{Hahahaha, the Film Emperor is such a henpecked husband!!}
{Yan-ge, don’t be a coward. Just say why you fell in love with Xixi!}
{The person above… are you being dirty?}
{Hahahaha, I’m so looking forward to it!! This is a good question! After all, our Xixi is not just ordinarily fierce. But I think… it’s mostly his looks and abilities, right? Could it be that the Film Emperor is a masochist?}
{No, no, sister above, you’re wrong. Xixi is fierce in front of outsiders, but in front of Yan-ge, isn’t he just a little rabbit who loves to blush?}
“Just…” Feng Yan scratched his cheek and looked at Yu Weixi with a smile. “Because Xixi is very dazzling, I guess. It’s not strange to fall in love with him.”
Yu Weixi gave Feng Yan a key point, “The question is, why… out of so many people, did you just fall in love with me and get together with me?”
“This question…” Feng Yan reached out and tapped the tip of Yu Weixi’s nose. “Then why did you fall in love with me?”
Feng Yan said, “Then Xixi, you’re so good-looking, so likable. You’re great at dancing, singing, and acting. You’re a perfect person, right? Then why did you choose to like me in the first place? And since you like me, how could I not like you?”
“It’s not about choosing or not choosing. It’s just that you happened to fall in love with me, and I happened to fall in love with you. I don’t have any feelings for anyone else, but I just happened to have feelings for you, just like how you, who were in the US, just happened to fall in love with me out of so many people.”
{Wait… I think there’s a story here! Did it start in the US?}
{Waaah, the Film Emperor is so suave… I’m so envious of Xixi. I also want the Film Emperor to fall in love with me for no reason. Crying.}
“Oh?” The host also noticed the amount of information in these words and said with a smile, “Come, come, let our Mr. Feng and Mr. Yu also tell us your love story?”
The bullet comments were all howling.
“Oh… this story is quite long.” Feng Yan rested his chin on his hand and said with a smile, “I only found out after we got together that our Xixi is another Yan Xingcai. He had a secret crush on me when he was in the US.”
Yu Weixi’s face was a little red. He snorted coldly and turned his head away.
{Woc?? Woc??? Is it true? I don’t believe it—Xixi, that proud person, actually had a secret crush on Film Emperor Feng?!}
{Oh my, did he have a secret crush since so long ago? Wuwuwu, kswl! I’m so jealous of Yan-ge. What’s there to be dissatisfied about, Yan-ge’s solo stans…!}
{Wuwuwu, I’m going to die of heartache for Xixi…! }
“That’s because… you gave me a lunch box. In those years, you were the only one, a stranger who had nothing to do with me, who would care about me.” Yu Weixi looked up at Feng Yan and said with rare honesty, “This is the reason I fell in love with you.”
Feng Yan was taken aback.
Yu Weixi then said, “So… I think there must be a reason for falling in love with someone.”
He wanted to know.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the host smiled and rounded things up, bringing the topic back to their love story.
Then Yu Weixi and Feng Yan, one after the other, told their story on this quiet night.
During The Coast, one didn’t understand his feelings, the other buried his feelings…
The growth in four years…
Feng Yan’s pursuit after they reunited…
“You don’t know. When I saw Xixi again after four years, he was really super, super hard to pursue at that time.” Feng Yan rested his cheek on one hand and held Niangao with the other. “He had such a terrible temper. Forget about hugging—if I so much as held his little hand, he’d instantly bristle.”
“But… I still liked him. I think, if I had to say the reason why I was attracted to him in the first place, it would be… I really like the way Xixi works hard.”
Yu Weixi was taken aback.
The host was also a little confused. “Hard work…?”
“That’s right. To be honest… I became famous at a young age and have won the Film Emperor award many times. As I acted, I occasionally lost my passion for my profession. But Xixi is different. From his youth until now, he has always been full of drive and has always been working hard. Xixi has already achieved great results in dancing, but he is still working hard.”
Feng Yan looked at Yu Weixi and said gently, “I guess I’m the one… who has been witnessing your hard work.”
The “late-night competition” through the window, across a street, in his youth.
The dispute over insisting on practicing dance after a waist injury.
The ability that he was willing to fight against the system to keep.
Yu Weixi always said that he needed to put in more effort to get what others had, but the way he worked hard became a fatal charm in Feng Yan’s eyes.
Feng Yan said with a smile, “So, I think when you’re looking for a partner, you should find someone who can make you feel full of drive every day, full of anticipation for life, and who can give you a sense of novelty and happiness every day. I’m very happy and very happy when I’m with Xixi. I have something to look forward to every day. This is the reason why I fell in love with him and chose to spend the rest of my life with him.”
“It was Yu Weixi who made me start to look forward to family and life.”
Yu Weixi’s eyes were slightly red. He looked at Feng Yan without saying a word.
Then, Yu Weixi didn’t want the camera to capture his appearance, so he turned around and hugged Feng Yan, burying his head in his embrace.
“Silly Xixi…” Feng Yan helplessly wrapped his arm around Yu Weixi, thinking, Yu Weixi, who is always touched by his words, is really silly…
“That’s so good…” The host’s eyes were a little red from listening.
{Woc, I’m crying… Yan-ge and Xixi are really a good match. I really hope they will be happy for a lifetime.}
{Wuwuwu, Yan-ge is so good, and Xixi is also very good… solo stans on both sides, come and listen. Can you still object?}
{What kind of divine couple is this…! As a solo stan of Yan-ge, I declare that Yan-ge’s partner can only be Xixi in the future!}
{I also declare that Xixi’s partner can only be his Yan-ge!}
“Come on, cheers! To the happy ending of Mr. Feng and Mr. Yu!” Everyone clinked their glasses, and the host then continued with the Q&A session.
After asking, the host finally explained with a smile, “Actually… the questions today were actually asked by your partners! I came with a mission.”
“Ah…?”
The celebrity guests who were asked were all dumbfounded.
Yan Xingcai turned to look at Mr. Luo.
Mr. Luo lowered his head shyly. “I’ve always… been worried that you would regret it.”
So he wanted to ask through the show.
“…Are you stupid!” Yan Xingcai rolled his eyes, then very straightforwardly… hugged Mr. Luo and kissed him.
“Wow—”
A wave of cheers.
Feng Yan also raised an eyebrow and asked Yu Weixi, “Oh? So this is the question you wanted to ask me?”
Yu Weixi hummed and hawed, “When I usually ask you, you don’t answer me properly. You’re always perfunctory with me, saying things like ‘dazzling’ and ‘love at first sight’.”
If it weren’t for the camera and the show, Feng Yan wouldn’t have told him in such detail…
“It’s my fault.” Feng Yan sighed.
This little fool had always been insecure, so he was anxious to know the answer and confirm his affection.
“But those answers were not perfunctory. I really… think you’re very dazzling, and it was love at first sight for me, and then I fell more and more in love.”
“Xixi… I love you.” Feng Yan leaned over and hugged Yu Weixi, his movements gentle and affectionate.
“Mmm.”
I know.
Yu Weixi curled his lips slightly and closed his eyes
