After Secretly Having the Film Emperor’s Child 46

Chapter 46: Confession

On the night of Yu Weixi’s birthday banquet, his fans had booked the entire stadium.

When Yu Weixi arrived at the venue, surrounded by his team and security, the entire stadium immediately erupted.

Yu Weixi was wearing a sparkling suit today. For a rare occasion, it wasn’t a flamboyant and dazzling color, but a reserved black and gray.

But this color did not make Yu Weixi look old at all, and it still suited him very well.

Perhaps it was because the black jacket was adorned with sparkling star fragments, like the night sky, its brilliance undiminished, but with a bit more stability and grandeur.

Yu Weixi stood on the stage, facing the sea of people below and the intense magnesium lights, and smiled, “Thank you all for coming here. I’ve received your gifts. This year will also be a smooth year.”

As in previous years, Yu Weixi first performed for his fans as a welfare, followed by the cake-cutting ceremony.

But this year, Yu Weixi’s waist injury had just recovered, and that was with the help of the system, so it was not suitable for strenuous activities and dance performances. Moreover, during this period, Yu Weixi had been closely watched by Feng Yan and had no way to practice, so he was not willing to show his performance.

Yu Weixi just sat on a high chair with his legs crossed, playing the guitar and singing.

The beam of light softened. Yu Weixi closed his eyes, his hand plucking the strings, singing a song with an extremely gentle melody.

The people below immediately quieted down. In the huge stadium, only Yu Weixi’s voice, amplified by the speakers, could be heard.

Yu Weixi was not a professional singer, but his level was still very good. The young man’s voice had a unique flavor.

After he finished singing, Yu Weixi stood up and bowed. Amidst the thunderous applause and screams of cheers, he smiled, “This song is called Starlight. The composer is a good friend of mine.”

The moment these words came out, the voices below came to an abrupt halt.

Could it be…

Then Yu Weixi indeed said, “It’s a song that a friend of mine who has passed away gave me before he died. He gave me two songs. One is about love, which is the new song Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star that will be released soon, and the other… is this one.”

“I don’t care how the world evaluates him, but I still want to give back this Starlight, with lyrics and choreography, to him.”

Yu Weixi paused and said, “Public opinion is very scary, and words can also kill.”

All along, after being bound to the dark energy system, Yu Weixi had been recklessly attracting hate, roasting people, and was not afraid of anything.

“I don’t care about rumors and public opinion. They can’t hurt me, but… they can hurt the people around me. No one is made of copper and iron. We are all just ordinary people, flesh and blood.”

If Chu Qing hadn’t known him in the first place, Yu Weixi thought, perhaps he wouldn’t have been involved in the storm with Luo Yucheng. When an avalanche occurs, not a single snowflake is innocent. Luo Yucheng and Huo Liao are the villains. Huo Li and himself… are the snowflakes.

“I will close and reopen my Weibo account, and I will not cause any more trouble.” Yu Weixi said, “I hope that in the future, there will be fewer vicious words in the industry, fewer rumors based on random speculation, and fewer curses that are actually not so necessary.”

One person can’t do much, but a little less is a little less.

Only then did Yu Weixi suddenly understand the meaning of the dark energy system’s existence, why it was necessary to purify these dark energies. And the original intention of the dark energy was not to let the host go on a rampage and provoke, but to understand, judge, think, and learn to endure and solve.

A public figure, even if he sat still, would still attract hate.

At first, Yu Weixi didn’t understand why he would be criticized and cursed no matter what he did, why a small matter would make someone want to curse him with the most vicious words. He was young and frivolous, with an arrogant personality, so when others cursed him, he would retort with even sharper words and take pleasure in it.

But in the future, Yu Weixi would no longer deliberately attract hate. He would only speak up to protect himself and the people around him.

The young man stood on the stage, the lights focused on him. He smiled and said, “In the future, I want to walk on a star-studded path.”

There were still many people around him, the boy band members who had walked with him, Yu Han, Yao Xuhe… and so on.

And…

Yu Weixi subconsciously glanced behind him.

Feng Yan was sitting in the backstage with the staff, and their eyes met.

Then, Feng Yan just nodded and smiled.

And Feng Yan.

Yu Weixi wanted to protect Feng Yan.

The swaying light sticks below were dazzling.

The stage was even more dazzling.

Yu Weixi held the microphone high and aimed it at the people below. “In the future… let’s walk on a flower path together!”

The venue was filled with screams.

Some were crying, some were shouting, and some were frantically waving their light sticks.

Feng Yan stood in the backstage, in a place where the lights could not reach, his expression also becoming gentle.

This… is his Xixi.

…

After the cake-cutting ceremony and the ten-thousand-person chorus of the birthday song, Yu Weixi had a second celebration with his friends in the stadium’s indoor area.

The birthday banquet was not open to the public. Yu Weixi only invited his friends from the industry to drink and have fun together.

Feng Yan quietly followed by Yu Weixi’s side the whole time. The others saw the ambiguity between the two of them and all understood tacitly.

A large group of people partied until the latter half of the night. Feng Yan drove Yu Weixi home.

Yu Weixi was drunk again, but this time, because there were many people in public, Yu Weixi had controlled himself and was not so drunk that he had lost his mind.

Yu Weixi’s face was red. He sat in the passenger seat and muttered, “Smelly man, dead dog B… didn’t even give me a single gift, you cheapskate…”

Feng Yan paused and raised an eyebrow. “What are you muttering about?”

“Nothing.” Yu Weixi snorted coldly, “Consort Feng, just focus on driving.”

“Oh my, Your Majesty, when will this subject be able to be promoted to Noble Consort?”

Yu Weixi’s face was full of disgust.

Ew, so disgusting.

“It depends on your performance, I guess?” Yu Weixi sneered, “Right now, I’m thinking of demoting you to a promise.”

“Hiss…” The corner of Feng Yan’s mouth twitched. “Has this subject done anything wrong recently? Could it be… Your Majesty, do you see me as old and faded, and have a new favorite?”

Yu Weixi just “hehe”-ed a few times.

The car drove steadily towards the residential complex.

On the way, Yu Weixi closed his eyes to rest and also connected to the dark energy system.

…As expected.

The dark energy value had risen at an unprecedented rate because of this incident, reaching a peak.

The night slowly deepened.

…

The next morning, after Yu Weixi woke up, he subconsciously wrinkled his nose.

The morning sun shone gently on Yu Weixi through the floor-to-ceiling window. Yu Weixi rubbed his eyes and sat up, finding that the curtains had been drawn, so it was not glaring.

Eh?

Yu Weixi frowned slightly, got out of bed, and walked out of the room, only to be taken aback.

The table was filled with a rich spread of dishes, the aroma wafting. Feng Yan was just placing the last dish.

“You’re awake?” Feng Yan said with a smile, “I made it myself. I made it at home and then brought it over for you.”

“Why…” Yu Weixi blinked, a little surprised.

The dishes on the table were all his favorites, each one more beautiful and delicious than the last.

Feng Yan said pitifully, “Isn’t it because I know I’m about to be demoted, so I’m trying to turn the tide?”

Yu Weixi couldn’t help but laugh, then sat down at the dining table.

“So this is your birthday gift?” Yu Weixi raised an eyebrow.

Feng Yan rubbed his nose. “This… your fans, your other friends, and the brands have already given you everything they can. Food, clothing, daily necessities, luxury goods, and even those romantic, grand gestures. So I thought I didn’t need to give you anything else, so I personally cooked for you.”

Yu Weixi rested his chin on his hand and looked at the table full of things, but he smiled.

“Oh, barely passing. Then I won’t demote you.”

Feng Yan, however, said, “Wait, there’s more.”

Yu Weixi raised an eyebrow.

“Close your eyes first.” Feng Yan took out a cloth strip.

Yu Weixi was a little resistant and leaned back.

Feng Yan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “What are you afraid of? I’m not going to hit you.”

Yu Weixi pouted. “So mysterious…”

Yu Weixi was a little scared in his heart, a little apprehensive, but also faintly expectant.

It can’t be…

What is this guy Feng Yan trying to do!

Yu Weixi suddenly didn’t dare to face it. He even felt that the chair was a little hot.

“If you’re going to do something, then hurry up…!” Yu Weixi turned his head away. “Quick! Don’t play any tricks!”

Feng Yan: “…”

Why isn’t Yu Weixi following the script?

“That… are you sure you don’t want to be blindfolded?” Feng Yan said awkwardly, “It’s more ceremonial if you’re blindfolded.”

“No! Who knows what you’re trying to do!”

“…”

Feng Yan sighed. “Okay…”

Then he saw Feng Yan walk into the kitchen.

Yu Weixi nervously watched the kitchen door.

After a moment, he saw Feng Yan walk out with a bouquet of flowers, very ceremoniously.

…

Woc, as expected!!

Yu Weixi “bang!” and decisively stood up to run away.

Feng Yan: “…”

Feng Yan: “????”

“Xixi… come back!!”

Yu Weixi’s whole face was flushed with shame, and he ran towards the main door.

“Xixi!”

Feng Yan was on the verge of tears.

Woc, why isn’t this person following the script???

In Feng Yan’s imagination, Yu Weixi should have been blindfolded, and then he would kneel in front of him with the flowers. Then Yu Weixi would take off the blindfold and see the handsome him kneeling in front of him.

After that, he would immediately confess his love affectionately. After the confession, Yu Weixi would definitely be very surprised, both shy and moved. Maybe he would even become angry from embarrassment and hit him. Then he could take the opportunity to hold Yu Weixi’s hand and hug him…

The imagination was beautiful, but the reality was harsh.

At this moment…

“Xixi! Sit down for me!”

Feng Yan held the bouquet and chased Yu Weixi all over the house.

Yu Weixi shouted angrily, “Don’t touch me! I’m not falling for this!”

Feng Yan also shouted angrily, “Sit down and listen to me first!”

“I won’t listen! I don’t want to! I don’t want to know!” Yu Weixi was completely panicked.

“You…!”

Feng Yan put down the flowers, rolled up his sleeves, and chased after Yu Weixi. He directly pounced on him and pinned him against the wall.

“Feng dog, let go of me!!!”

Yu Weixi was circled in Feng Yan’s arms, his back against the wall, and in front of him was the tall man.

Feng Yan’s two hands were on the wall behind Yu Weixi, trapping him in his arms, forcing him to listen to him properly.

“Xixi.”

“Call, call what! Let go of me!”

“Xixi.”

“…”

Yu Weixi couldn’t stand Feng Yan’s fiery gaze. He turned his head away and gritted his teeth. “If you have something to say, then say it quickly!”

“Xixi, I…” Feng Yan took a deep breath and said seriously, word by word, “I like you.”

Yu Weixi was taken aback.

“It’s not a joke, not a whim. It’s the kind of like where I seriously want to spend the rest of my life with you.”

Feng Yan lowered his eyes. “Xixi, I will take care of you and respect you.”

“You… you…” Yu Weixi’s face, from his cheeks to the base of his ears, and even his neck, was red.

A very simple, very simple confession.

Yu Weixi looked at the man in front of him.

There was no grand ceremony. He had just woken up early and personally cooked a table of food, and then came to confess with flowers.

Mmm, now there weren’t even any flowers.

“I…” Yu Weixi’s mouth was wide open, and he felt it was a little difficult to breathe.

He didn’t even know if this was reality or a dream.

If it was reality, it was a little too unreal. But if it was a dream, the warm breath of the person in front of him was too realistic and… oppressive.

“I’m not forcing you…” Feng Yan said in a low voice with a smile, “You can take your time to consider, but I will always be good to you.”

“I… I’m not considering it!” Yu Weixi said loudly, “I don’t want to! We have no relationship, and we won’t have any!”

Yu Weixi had really never thought that Feng Yan would actually confess to him.

And Feng Yan… he had long expected to get such a reply. His disappointment was not too heavy. He just sighed. “It’s okay. I will always wait for you.”

Feng Yan pointed to the food on the side. “Come on, let’s eat first.”

Yu Weixi’s eyes glanced at the roses that had been thrown on the sofa. He hummed and hawed in a low voice, “Then, then you’re not allowed to talk about this matter again…”

“Okay, I won’t.”

What’s the use of talking, Feng Yan thought. I’ll show you.

Yu Weixi sat down and focused on eating with his head down, not looking at Feng Yan.

“Xixi.”

“…” No response.

“Xixi… you’re holding your chopsticks backwards.”

“…”

Ah.

Yu Weixi angrily held his chopsticks correctly and looked up. “Don’t keep looking at me!”

“…Oh.”

Just like that, one with “ill intentions,” the other ill at ease as if sitting on pins and needles, they finished a meal.

I have to say, this meal is still very delicious, Yu Weixi thought. Although the taste is a little bland, with a healthy meal feeling of an old man, it’s still delicious.

It was just that Yu Weixi hoped that he wouldn’t have to eat such a “Hongmen Banquet” again in the future.

It was simply killing him.

Then Yu Weixi went to pack up and get ready to go out.

Although Yu Weixi had always given the outside world an image of being sharp, arrogant, and conceited, the matter with Luo Yucheng recently was really too sharp. If it were too out of control, it wouldn’t be good. Therefore, the team had been looking for scripts with more gentle or cute characters for Yu Weixi recently, wanting to use them to polish and soften him.

The final decision was a historical idol drama called Little Rabbit Immortal. It was a BL theme, about the two-life love story of a little rabbit immortal and a prince. Yu Weixi’s role was that of the cute, innocent, and lively but single-minded and stubborn little rabbit immortal.

In any case, it was very much in line with the requirements, very soft and cute.

Yu Weixi didn’t mind either. In any case, he was just acting for fun. It wasn’t his main job.

But the team then told him that the role of the prince, which had originally belonged to a little fresh meat, had been intercepted by Feng Yan. After he took it…

Yu Weixi’s whole person was, not, good, anymore.
