Chapter 34 Part 1: Open Your Mouth and Eat the Candy
That night, it wasn’t Luo Yucheng.
His good feelings for Yu Weixi were not a matter of a day or two.
Perhaps it was from more than ten years ago, when he saw that stubborn little boy in the practice room, enduring his tears and fatigue, rehearsing over and over again.
Perhaps it was from the first time they met on the set, when that boy held the script cautiously, put on a sharp and proud look, and walked towards him.
Feng Yan didn’t know, but in his nearly thirty years of life, there was no such thing as love. Everything was too strange and too obscure to him.
So Feng Yan didn’t pay attention.
After the incident that night, Feng Yan did go to investigate the next day, but there were no loopholes in what Luo Yucheng said, and there was no relevant evidence from that night. Basically, because the party that night was controlled by investors, the scene was chaotic, and it was difficult to trace the source of such a sudden accident.
Luo Yucheng knew that Feng Yan was investigating. He cried and said, “Don’t you believe me? Do you think that night was a humiliation?”
Feng Yan already felt guilty, so he stopped the investigation. A casual resource was not a big deal or a difficult matter for him.
So Feng Yan didn’t pay attention.
…
“Bang!”
Feng Yan’s breathing was rapid, his chest heaving violently.
Right, he didn’t care about anything!
Step by step, Luo Yucheng took the resources he gave him, first deceiving him, then using him.
Then there was the matter of the sasaeng fan, and then the insane plan to make Yu Weixi fall off a cliff.
Because of his indifference, all of this had turned into a sharp blade that hurt Yu Weixi.
Feng Yan leaned on his desk with both hands, feeling as if he were being crushed by something weighing a thousand pounds, so much so that he couldn’t breathe.
After all this, it turned out that he was the one who had hurt Yu Weixi. He was also the executioner, the executioner hiding behind Luo Yucheng.
Bastard…
Bastard…!
Feng Yan clenched his fists, so hard that his joints made a “click” sound.
If it weren’t for the fact that, after so many years, the production team had suddenly released a photo that had been hidden for many years, would he never have woken up?
Would he have hurt Yu Weixi like this for a lifetime?
What had deceived Feng Yan was never Luo Yucheng’s one-sided story, but Feng Yan himself.
Feng Yan didn’t know what else he didn’t know, but he only had one thought now.
I must, must protect Yu Weixi!
That’s the person he likes, the person he, Feng Yan, likes!
As if drained of all strength, Feng Yan sank into the sofa behind him.
Feng Yan’s limbs were a little cold. He suddenly wanted to talk to Yu Weixi, even if it was just one sentence.
So Feng Yan took out his phone and immediately called Yu Weixi.
“…Hello?” Yu Weixi’s tone was a little tired. He was probably about to go to sleep.
“Xixi.”
“Ah.”
“Xixi…”
“What is it!”
Feng Yan silently took a deep breath, his hand tightly gripping the armrest of the chair, gripping and releasing, releasing and gripping again.
Then, Feng Yan let out a turbid breath and tried to make his tone sound as relaxed as possible. “It’s nothing. I just wanted to say good night to you.”
“…Crazy, a waste of life.” Yu Weixi immediately hung up.
Feng Yan was taken aback, then smiled and put down his phone.
Yu Weixi, oh Yu Weixi, Feng Yan thought, you little heartless thing.
Feng Yan took a deep breath to clear his muddled mind, then called his mother.
He still had things to do.
…
After resting for two days, Yu Weixi’s spirits were much better.
At this moment, Yu Weixi was accompanying Niangao with his homework.
Niangao sat on the bed, next to Yu Weixi, writing numbers. Yu Weixi had one arm around Niangao and was playing on his phone with the other.
Eh…?
There seemed to be some big news on Weibo. Everyone was talking about it.
And looking at it… it seemed to have something to do with him again!
—Shocking exposé!! Luo Yucheng is in a lawsuit?
@GossipMelon: Oh my god, this drama is too good, right? So Yu Weixi roasted Luo Yucheng on the show and was about to hit him because of this?
@XXWeekly: On XX, the mother of the sasaeng fan, Ms. Liu, revealed a shocking truth at the press conference! Her son, Niu Mou, is a fervent fan of the top-tier celebrity Yu Weixi. He, known as a “sasaeng fan” by netizens, has harassed his idol multiple times. And a few days ago, according to Niu Mou’s WeChat chat history, Niu Mou had obtained Yu Weixi’s address from another person. After getting the address, Niu Mou had repeatedly sent harassing items, including underwear, to his idol. He was later sentenced to prison for stealing Yu Weixi’s underwear worth five thousand yuan.
Recently, Niu Mou has threatened to have the person who provided him with the address pay a huge bail to get him out, otherwise he would expose that person’s identity. According to the chat history, the result is that that person is the currently popular idol—Luo Yucheng. However, Luo Yucheng did not agree and instead warned Niu Mou that if he revealed their transaction, Niu Mou’s mother should be careful about her safety. Niu Mou’s mother, Ms. Liu, was worried and scared all day, and also hoped that her son could be released from prison soon, so she went to the reporters, hoping that public opinion would help her and make Luo Yucheng pay the huge bail for her son.
…
Yu Weixi’s fans went crazy.
XXXX: Fuck, I remember him!! He’s the bastard who sent underwear stained with jīngyè to our Xixi before!! Why isn’t he dead yet?! And why isn’t Luo Yucheng dead yet! Neither of them is a good bird! The sasaeng and the cheap white lotus should just explode on the spot!
XXXX: Luo Yucheng, go to hell, Luo Yucheng, go to hell! Crazy, what kind of grudge is this to harm someone like this!
XXXX: I was really mistaken. I originally thought that Luo Yucheng was a clear stream in the industry… As expected, you can’t judge a book by its cover. As pure and innocent as he looks on the outside, his heart is just as black! Compared to someone like Luo Yucheng who kills without shedding blood, I’d rather have Yu Weixi. Although he’s a contrarian, at least everything he does is out in the open. Even when he hates someone, he roasts them openly.
New and old grudges. The previously suspended campaign to sweep away the rain was restarted.
Not only the production team, but now Yu Weixi’s fans were directly demanding that Luo Yucheng withdraw from the entertainment industry, and they swarmed Luo Yucheng’s Weibo in groups.
If before it was just a crack, now it was a big pit.
Luo Yucheng’s public image and persona began to collapse. The industry hated sasaeng fans the most. And Luo Yucheng had framed Yu Weixi like this. Many people could no longer be his fans.
XXXX: It must be a frame-up, it must be a conspiracy! It might even be a play put on by that woman and Yu Weixi! The purpose is to throw dirty water on little Yu!
XXXX: Hold on! It’s all fake! Believe in our little Yu!
Luo Yucheng’s fans were still struggling and arguing with Yu Weixi’s supporters, and then… they were completely defeated.
Yu Weixi’s fans were all crazy now. How could any fan accept their idol being bullied like this? So all the battle fans, casual fans, and shippers united to flame the production team and Luo Yucheng.
There was even a large group of people who went to the show’s recording site to threaten them, like a cult scene.
Yu Weixi stared blankly at the video.
“Xixi.”
The door of the ward was pushed open. Feng Yan had come after two days.
Yu Weixi pouted.
“Is Xixi better?”
“Yan-gege!!” Niangao waved at Feng Yan.
Feng Yan smiled, went up, and picked up Niangao. “Oh my, look at our little Niangao. He’s grown taller after not seeing him for a few days.”
“Really…!”
“Yes.”
Niangao was very happy.
Yu Weixi looked at Feng Yan and didn’t speak.
“What’s wrong?”
Yu Weixi paused and shook his phone. “Did you do this?”
Yu Weixi thought of what his manager had told him that day, that Feng Yan had been following up on Niu Mingliang’s matter.
Feng Yan smiled. “Not really. I just gave it a push.”
In any case, Luo Yucheng had really done these bad things.
It really was him…
Yu Weixi lowered his eyes, his expression seeming to change for a moment. Then he raised an eyebrow and said coolly, “Wow, our great Senior Feng is finally willing to strike at the white flower.”
It would have been better if Yu Weixi hadn’t said it. The moment he did, Feng Yan felt as if his heart had been hit hard.
It was suffocating.
Feng Yan lowered his eyes. “Xixi… do you, have you always thought that I was helping Luo Yucheng?”
“What else?” Yu Weixi crossed his arms. “What? Could it be that you were helping me?”
“…”
Feng Yan felt bitter in his heart.
“Xixi… I’m sorry.”
Yu Weixi was taken aback.
Feng Yan resisted the urge to hug Yu Weixi and reached out to gently touch his cheek. “I’m sorry.”
“You… what are you apologizing for! Did you take the wrong medicine?!” Yu Weixi shouted, “No, no apologies!”
Feng Yan just smiled and said, “There’s still a long way to go. I’ll prove it to you properly.”
“Is your brain full of shit or did you eat shit!” Yu Weixi fiercely slapped Feng Yan’s hand away and bared his teeth. “If you touch me again, I’ll beat you up!”
“Beat you up!” Niangao repeated with a giggle, waving his fist at Feng Yan.
Yu Weixi’s eyes widened. He hugged Niangao. “Don’t learn…! It’s wrong to hit people!”
“Pfft.” Feng Yan, on the side, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“Silly Xixi.”
“Right.” Feng Yan’s fingers gently tapped on his knee. He asked Yu Weixi, “Do you still remember what Luo Yucheng was doing when you fell off the cliff that day?”
“How would I know.” Yu Weixi rolled his eyes and said coldly, “He was probably just pretending to be scared and worried on the side. Something like, wuwuwu, so pitiful, I’m so worried, I hope nothing happens to Mr. Yu! And then he was ecstatic in his heart.”
The more Yu Weixi thought about it, the angrier he got. He said fiercely, “He must have been so happy to see me in trouble!”
Feng Yan paused, thinking that Yu Weixi didn’t know that it was Luo Yucheng who had tripped him.
But… it was better not to say it now. It was still unknown if the surveillance could be pulled out. If there was no evidence, wouldn’t it just make Yu Weixi suffer in vain?
“Let’s not talk about unhappy things. Look.” Feng Yan took out a few candies from his pocket and held them out in front of Yu Weixi with a smile. “Look what I brought you?”
Niangao, on the side, saw the colorful things in Feng Yan’s hand, and his eyes immediately lit up. “Candy…!”
Yu Weixi said angrily, “I’m not a child!”
Then Yu Weixi couldn’t help but sneak another look.
“I know you’ve been drinking Yu Han’s nourishing soup and porridge these past few days. The taste is very bland. You must be craving these.”
Yu Weixi pouted and didn’t speak.
His mouth was indeed bland. He wanted to have a hot pot or barbecue, but that would surely be killed by the doctor and Yu Han. He could only endure it.
And the round fruit candies in Feng Yan’s hand were crystal clear and colorful. They would definitely be very sweet and fragrant in his mouth…
Yu Weixi was still being stubborn, but his eyes were fixed on them.
Feng Yan didn’t make things difficult for Yu Weixi. He directly handed Niangao two milk candies, then opened a fruit candy’s wrapper himself.
“Come on, open your mouth.”
Feng Yan brought the fruit candy to Yu Weixi’s mouth.
Yu Weixi swallowed.
Just by opening his mouth, he could have a sweet candy, no longer those medicinal-tasting nourishing soups and almost tasteless white rice porridge.
“Ah—open your mouth.”
…
In the end, Yu Weixi couldn’t resist. He opened his mouth and “om nom” ate the candy.
After eating it, the sweetness of the candy immediately melted on the tip of his tongue.
His whole mouth was immediately filled with sweetness. It was the first time he had tasted such a taste in many days. The sweetness was so overwhelming that Yu Weixi couldn’t help but squint his eyes in comfort and smack his lips.
So sweet.
“Good boy.” Feng Yan was all smiles. He subtly wiped his fingers on his pants.
…Hot.
