Chapter 17: Four-Person Battle Royale
After a day of recording, it was already completely dark by the time he got home.
After Yu Weixi took a shower, Yu Han brought Niangao home.
When he had work like this, Yu Weixi would usually ask Yu Han to pick up Niangao from school and wait at Yu Han’s house for him to get off work.
When Niangao got home, he happily pounced into Yu Weixi’s arms.
“Daddy’s back! Daddy worked hard!”
Yu Weixi’s lips curled up slightly, and he picked up Niangao.
It was already quite late. Yu Han left the soup and went home to rest.
“Right, there’s also this. The security guard gave it to me when I came just now. Your delivery.” Yu Han also handed a medium-sized box to Yu Weixi.
Yu Han came over so often that the security guard recognized him.
After Yu Han left, Yu Weixi put Niangao on the sofa and went to the kitchen to open the box.
The delivery had another unknown address. Yu Weixi was already on guard, worried that it might be something terrible, so he didn’t want Niangao to see it.
When he opened it, he saw a pile of clothes.
Yu Weixi was taken aback.
These clothes…
Yu Weixi picked them up with his fingertips, and his face instantly turned ugly.
It was his underwear.
Undershirts, shorts, and briefs.
Yu Weixi still had some impression of them. These were the clothes he had lost at a hotel during a New Year’s Eve concert.
He had always thought he had just lost them somewhere, but it turned out they had been stolen from the hotel…
The clothes were stained with a white liquid, and there was a note attached:
—Xixi, your clothes smell so good. I like them very much. I love you.
Yu Weixi felt his skin crawl, so disgusted he wanted to puke.
Yu Weixi’s face was grim. First, he took a photo, then he went straight to the incense burner and burned them.
Thump—!
Yu Weixi kicked the iron bucket in anger.
Crazy!
Yu Weixi was still furious. He went on Weibo, posted the censored photo, and cursed up a storm.
@DylanLovesToDance_: I don’t care who you are, if I catch you, you’re dead!
“What is Daddy burning?” Niangao came over curiously and tugged at the corner of Yu Weixi’s shirt.
“Burning trash.” Yu Weixi shrugged.
Afterward, Yu Weixi’s agency also issued a lawyer’s letter and a warning. Yu Weixi’s fan club, while feeling sorry for him, also educated the fans. Yu Weixi, on the other hand, went through his WeChat and asked all his friends who knew he lived here, but he didn’t get any leads. Besides, sasaengs had many methods, and it couldn’t be solved in a short time.
He could only endure it for now, and at most, burn more.
Yu Weixi secretly reminded himself to be careful in all things when he went out in the future, especially not to have anything stolen again, especially his underwear.
It was really too disgusting.
After Yu Weixi’s Weibo post, his friends and relatives also came to check on him one by one.
And among these greetings, Feng Yan’s style was extremely different, extremely outstanding—
Feng Yan: As expected of the most beautiful flower of China.
Yu Weixi replied through gritted teeth.
Yu Weixi: Feng Yan, you’re dead.
Feng Yan: Then will you be buried with me or for me?
Yu Weixi: …Is there a difference??
Feng Yan: Of course there is. Being buried with someone is a forced killing, non-consensual. Being buried for someone is voluntary. Learned something new?
Yu Weixi: Is that even a question?? Of course it’s forced. Who would want to be with you?
Feng Yan: Wow.
Feng Yan: Screenshot.
Feng Yan: Thank you, little Dance King.
Only then did Yu Weixi realize that he had been tricked. Or rather, the other party had no intention of tricking him, he was just too stupid.
Yu Weixi: …
Feng Yan: I won’t tease you anymore. Next time you receive a delivery with an unknown address, don’t open it. If you’re afraid of missing something, you can bring it over. I’m just next door. I’ll open it for you. If it’s from a sasaeng, I’ll just throw it away.
Yu Weixi sent a “bleh bleh bleh” animated sticker.
After exiting WeChat, Yu Weixi decided to take revenge on Feng Yan and salvage his dignity from being tricked.
Yu Weixi had accidentally seen someone in a fan circle say that they would post scary pictures to frighten people during fan wars. Yu Weixi thought this was a good idea. He decided to find some scary pictures to frighten Feng Yan.
It was almost midnight now. He had to make sure Feng Yan couldn’t sleep!
Then Yu Weixi went online to search.
…
…!
Then Yu Weixi was scared.
QAQ
Good heavens, what kind of monsters are fans!
Don’t they get scared when they’re scaring others?!
So, Yu Weixi only managed to fall asleep in the latter half of the night, his feet tucked into the covers, not daring to stick them out of the bed.
As the saying goes, you reap what you sow. This was probably it.
Before the recording the next day, Chu Qing came to visit Yu Weixi’s break room.
“Wow… Xixi, what happened to you?”
Chu Qing was shocked to see Yu Weixi’s dark circles. “Aren’t you usually very sleepy?”
“…Don’t mention it. Just shut up.”
Yu Weixi was at a loss for words.
“Oh…” Chu Qing blinked.
Yu Weixi looked around. The recording hadn’t started yet, and they were probably still waiting for everyone to arrive outside. So he sat down next to Chu Qing and said in a low voice, “How have you been lately?”
Chu Qing was taken aback.
“What?”
Yu Weixi frowned. “You know what I’m asking.”
Chu Qing was silent for a moment, then lowered his eyes. “I, I’ve been taking my medicine, and I’ve been exercising. I also got a dog… I feel like I’m getting better and better.”
After a pause, Chu Qing smiled. “Xixi, you don’t have to worry about me.”
“Mmm, if there’s anything, just call me.” Yu Weixi frowned. “Don’t just disappear all the time, making it impossible to contact you. Are you on the moon?”
“I was just afraid that my negative emotions would affect you…” Chu Qing scratched his cheek.
“Pfft.” Yu Weixi rolled his eyes. “I’m fighting with haters every day. Do you think I’m afraid of negative emotions?”
Chu Qing couldn’t help but smile.
“Xixi, you’re so nice.”
After Chu Qing and Yu Weixi chatted for a while, a second person came to visit.
“Xixi, good morning.” Ji Shilin came in with breakfast. Seeing Chu Qing, he also smiled. “Mr. Chu is here too.”
“I bought some snacks. Let’s eat together.”
Ji Shilin set out the snacks and sat down next to Yu Weixi.
“Didn’t you sleep well last night, Xixi?”
“Ah.” Yu Weixi shrugged.
Ji Shilin glanced at Chu Qing. “Mr. Chu, do you mind if I ask Xixi some questions?”
“Not at all, not at all.” Chu Qing quickly waved his hands. “You guys chat.”
“Ask questions?” Yu Weixi raised an eyebrow.
“I haven’t told Xixi yet. Have you heard that Director He is going to film Coast 2?”
“?” Yu Weixi had thought it was just a rumor or something they were just talking about. Are they really going to film it??
“Director He said he’s going to film a second part of The Coast’s Solitude, the one you and Yan-ge acted in before, as a tribute. It’s also a story about a coastal CEO and a merman, but it’s said that there will be some innovation.”
“…” Fine.
Ji Shilin continued, “Director He asked me to audition, saying that he thinks I’m suitable for the role of the CEO.”
Yu Weixi raised an eyebrow. “So? I played the merman, not the CEO. I can’t give you any pointers. Go find your teacher.”
“No, I wanted to ask Xixi what you think of the role of the CEO. The merman you played is the CEO’s soulmate, and you had the most scenes with him. I believe you see this character differently from others. How do you think I should portray him?”
Ji Shilin smiled and leaned closer to Yu Weixi. “How should I act to make your merman’s heart flutter?”
Chu Qing, who was listening on the side: Wow.
Chu Qing blinked, thinking, Ji Shilin is flirting with Yu Weixi!
Chu Qing suddenly felt a little awkward, wondering if he had become a third wheel.
However.
Yu Weixi: ???
Yu Weixi said angrily, “What are you implying?!”
Ji Shilin: “…?”
Yu Weixi said coldly, “It’s true that I had the most scenes with Feng Yan, and we were a couple in the drama, but that doesn’t mean we’re anything in reality! I don’t have any extra feelings for him either!”
…
Ji Shilin: “???”
Chu Qing: “???”
Faced with their strange expressions, Yu Weixi still didn’t know what was going on. He crossed his arms and said sharply, “You want to ask for advice, right? Fine!”
Yu Weixi stood up and pulled Ji Shilin. “Come on, I’ll take you to find Feng Yan. Let’s ask him for advice properly!”
Ji Shilin: “??????”
Chu Qing: “…Pfft.”
Chu Qing felt a little sorry for Ji Shilin.
Yu Weixi always said he was stupid, but in some aspects, wasn’t Yu Weixi the bigger idiot!
Chu Qing watched them leave, smiled, and followed.
…
“Yan-ge.”
On the other side, Feng Yan looked at Luo Yucheng with a blank expression.
Luo Yucheng sat opposite Feng Yan and smiled. “Yan-ge… Director He asked me to audition for the role of the merman. I wanted to ask for your advice. How do you think the merman should be played?”
Feng Yan crossed his legs and smiled. “Sorry, I played the CEO, not the merman. You should ask Yu Weixi about this.”
“No, I just want to know… I want to understand the merman in Yan-ge’s eyes.” Luo Yucheng looked up slightly and tucked a stray strand of hair behind his ear. “I really want to know.”
“I’ve forgotten. I only remember Yu Weixi’s face.” Feng Yan spread his hands. “How about this, I’ll take you to find Yu Weixi.”
With that, Feng Yan stood up.
Luo Yucheng: “…?”
Slam—
However, before Feng Yan could take a step, the door was thrown open with a bang.
Yu Weixi stood on the side, pulling Ji Shilin.
As soon as Yu Weixi pushed open the door, he saw Feng Yan and Luo Yucheng alone in the room together. He sneered, “Oh, did I interrupt you?”
They really are a couple. Look, they’re using the break in filming to have a publicly-funded romance!
White lotus!
Yu Weixi looked down on him in his heart.
Ji Shilin hadn’t expected to run into Luo Yucheng like this and said awkwardly, “Hi.”
Luo Yucheng also said awkwardly, “Hi.”
Yu Weixi looked at Feng Yan: “Heh.”
Feng Yan responded: “Heh.”
The four of them met just like that, unexpectedly.
