Chapter 15
Jiang Chaochao took a rather long shower this time, and during this process, he was sometimes calm, sometimes feverish.
Because he kept thinking about the conversation between Xiang Shici and Xiang Ye in the car.
He thought a lot, a whole lot.
Firstly, because Teacher Bianbian’s drawings were really, really explicit.
It was one thing if his online niece saw them, but if Xiang Shici found out he was Bianbian, that elegant Jiang xuechang on stage, in private…
Thinking further, what if Xiang Ye found out he was Bianbian?
Thinking of this, Jiang Chaochao turned the water temperature sharply towards cold.
All the explicit drawings he had done over the years flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.
His closest friend, Xu Hengzhi, didn’t even know he was doing this.
So after showering, he went to the group chat.
The group was still buzzing about the drawing from the other day, and the rest was the usual, everyone casually chatting about their daily lives, nothing unusual.
Jiang Chaochao secretly clicked on each group member’s profile, but he couldn’t identify which one was Xiang Shici.
Just then, an image suddenly popped into his head.
Uncle.
Yes, there was a group member who always talked about her handsome uncle.
Jiang Chaochao opened the chat history and searched for the keyword “uncle.”
With a swish, he immediately found the key person.
It was someone with the ID “Not Shi Not Ci.”
“Shi, Ci,” Jiang Chaochao extracted the key parts of the ID: “Shici.”
Then he laughed in amusement.
It felt like the answer was right in front of him, but he was blind.
Jiang Chaochao continued reading through the chat history of Shici talking about her uncle. It was a pity that Jiang Chaochao had changed his phone a few months ago and hadn’t transferred the chat history from this group, only the files.
There wasn’t much chat history to see, and no important information was revealed.
But knowing that this ID belonged to Shici, it was completely plausible that the uncle was Xiang Ye.
Just as Jiang Chaochao was engrossed in reading the chat history where the suspected-Shici group member said she suspected her uncle’s friend was gay, a message from Xiuxiu popped up on his screen.
It was a private message, a picture. Xiuxiu rarely sent him private messages unless there was something important.
So Jiang Chaochao clicked on it.
Good heavens, the picture was a screenshot of a conversation between Xiuxiu and someone with the contact name “Shici,” two screenshots in total.
“Shici: ‘Xiuxiu, I accidentally found Teacher Bianbian’s comment under someone’s Weibo post.’
Xiuxiu: ‘Mm-hmm? What comment?’
Shici: [Picture]
Xiuxiu: ‘!!!??? Huh? Is that our Teacher Bianbian?’
Shici: ‘Yes!’
Shici: ‘I was also suspicious at first, then I clicked on their profile and confirmed it’s our Teacher Bianbian.’
”
This was the content of the first screenshot.
Jiang Chaochao was already feeling speechless.
The second screenshot.
“Xiuxiu: ‘Whose Weibo post was it under?’
Shici: ‘Let’s just say, a super handsome guy.’
Xiuxiu: ‘Ah.’
Xiuxiu: ‘HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA’
Xiuxiu: ‘If you’re saying super handsome guy, then maybe…’
Shici: ‘Maybe?’
Xiuxiu: ‘Maybe Teacher Bianbian was looking for inspiration?’
Shici: ‘Oh, I see!’
Shici: ‘Indeed, that makes sense.’
Xiuxiu: ‘What else did you think it was?’
Shici: ‘Nothing, haha.’
”
After reading these two screenshots, Jiang Chaochao was sweating bullets again.
Minimizing the pictures, Xiuxiu’s question was below.
Xiuxiu: “Laoshi, you…?”
Jiang Chaochao thought for a moment, and could only reply: “Tempted by beauty, please forgive me.”
Xiuxiu: “HAHAHAHAHAHAHA okay.”
Xiuxiu: “I understand, I understand.”
Xiuxiu asked again: “Which handsome guy? To think our Teacher Bianbian would personally leave a comment.”
Bianbian: “Don’t worry about it.”
Xiuxiu: “Hahaha, okay!”
Xiuxiu: “I’ll keep it a secret!”
Bianbian: “Thank you.”
Xiuxiu: “You’re welcome!”
Xiuxiu: [wink]
After finishing this conversation, Jiang Chaochao let out a soft breath.
If things went in this direction, then it would be great.
Fortunately, one of them valued privacy, and the other had strong boundaries, so Jiang Chaochao’s pseudonym was barely safe.
Exiting the app, Jiang Chaochao immediately went to Weibo and searched for this Xiang Shici.
However, Shici was probably using a different ID on Weibo, and Jiang Chaochao couldn’t find her.
Since he was already there, Jiang Chaochao clicked on the comment he had posted the other day.
So bold, Teacher Bianbian.
Jiang Chaochao thought for a moment and once again long-pressed the comment.
But then he once again didn’t do anything.
It had already been discussed, it was already a fact, deleting it might attract even more attention.
Not only did Jiang Chaochao not delete it, he even impulsively followed Xiang Ye.
Just follow!
So what!
Righteously!
Loved looking at handsome guys!
At this moment, Jiang Chaochao didn’t know whether he had calmed down or had gone crazy. He didn’t think there was anything to Xu Hengzhi’s analysis earlier, nor did he think there was anything between him and Xiang Ye, but he boldly followed him on Weibo, with a let-it-all-burn attitude.
Even after getting into bed, the first thing on his mind was that he wanted to eat barbecue.
Yes, he was craving it.
But it was already late at night, and he was too lazy to go out. He thought for a moment, then posted his craving on his WeChat status.
He chose a barbecue skewer emoji, then wrote below it.
“A life without barbecue is incomplete, craving it so much.”
After posting, some of his friends who often posted statuses came sniffing around.
Saying they agreed, saying they also wanted barbecue now, saying he was so mean for posting this late at night…
Jiang Chaochao replied to each one, sharing their sentiments.
Returning from his status updates, a new red dot appeared on his Moments. Jiang Chaochao subconsciously clicked on it.
Unexpectedly, it was Xiang Ye.
Jiang Chaochao quickly clicked on it, and saw a text-only post from XY.
“Barbecue on Saturday, anyone interested?”
No exaggeration, Jiang Chaochao got goosebumps from this coincidence.
So, on a whim, just like when he commented on Weibo, he left a message under Xiang Ye’s Moments post.
Jiang Chaochao: [Raising hand]
Of course, this impulse only lasted for half a second.
Almost as soon as the emoji appeared in the comments, Jiang Chaochao long-pressed and deleted it.
Jiang Chaochao now admitted he was truly crazy.
And just when he thought the matter had quietly disappeared, unexpectedly…
XY: “Jiang xuechang.”
Almost at the same time, Xiang Ye’s message popped up.
Jiang Chaochao was startled, and a flush of heat crept up his neck.
Just in case Xiang Ye hadn’t seen his comment, he pretended.
Jiang Chaochao: “What’s up?”
XY: “I saw it.”
Jiang Chaochao: “…”
He couldn’t pretend at all.
Xiang Ye, couldn’t you just pretend you didn’t see it?!
He had already deleted it.
Jiang Chaochao: “Haha.”
XY: “It’s set for 2:30 PM tomorrow. It’s a bit far, we have to leave early.”
XY: “Will that affect your nap time?”
Jiang Chaochao: “I can skip my nap tomorrow.”
XY: “We can go after you wake up.”
Jiang Chaochao: “No need, it’s fine.”
Jiang Chaochao: “I want to eat barbecue.”
After sending this message, Jiang Chaochao was stunned.
Wait, how did he just agree to go, what just happened?
