Chapter 70: After Going Public
The internet was in a mess. After watching the two of them post on Weibo, the initial screams, roars, and shock began to subside, and a new wave of fanaticism was stirred up.
This New Year’s Eve, from the moment the Weibo post was made at midnight until the early morning, Weibo was still lively.
XXX: You’re all screaming. Am I the only one who’s curious about that child!!!
XXX: You’re not alone! Ahhh, isn’t that child the “nephew” by Yu Weixi’s side? But looking at the situation now, it feels more like Feng Yan’s and Yu Weixi’s son?
XXX: Agreed. You and him, wait… who is that other him???
XXX: …
It exploded again.
—Whose child is Niangao?
—Is Yu Weixi pregnant again…? Is that why he’s fat?
Weibo was full of blessings, and the group was in an uproar.
Feng’s fan 1: I’m worried… look at Yu Weixi’s appearance. He’s young and impetuous. Our Yan-ge won’t be a cuckold, right?? That damned little vixen, he’s so good at deceiving people! He’s got our Yan-ge wrapped around his little finger!
Feng’s fan 2: Agreed! I’m really having a mental breakdown now. What is Yan-ge doing, raising someone else’s child? And his partner is a notorious traffic celebrity.
Feng’s fan 3: Mmm… sisters above, calm down. Let’s respect Yan-ge’s choice! I hope Yu Weixi is good to Yan-ge, and I also wish them a smooth second pregnancy and a happy life in the future. Yan-ge should also settle down. He deserves a happy life.
Xi’s fan 1: I think it’s that old man Feng Yan who tricked our Xixi into having a child, right? If you calculate Niangao’s age, the time Xixi got pregnant with him was exactly when The Coast ended!
Xi’s fan 2: This is chilling to think about. Could it be that Yan-ge got Xixi pregnant four years ago and then was irresponsible? Oh my god, what kind of scumbag is this!!! Old men have deep routines. Could he be some kind of master of love who is good at playing with people’s hearts? I’m a little scared.
Xi’s fan 3: So my Xixi got fat because of the second pregnancy?? Woc?? Then I can only wish them well QAQ. I hope Xixi is safe and sound and has a smooth second pregnancy. I hope Feng Yan can take good care of my Xixi. Xixi is also beautiful when he’s fat. Happy fat is so good. I’ll love him forever.
I see my in-laws as jumping feet, and I expect my in-laws to see me as such.jpg
Shipper: You guys continue to argue. Argue a little more candy. We’re shipping it.
Shipper: Thank you, in-laws, for the candy! [Kneels] From the timeline hammered out by the solo stans, we know that maybe Niangao is Yan-ge’s and Xixi’s child from four years ago. Ah, kswl!
Shipper: Isn’t the main point the second pregnancy! Ah! The second pregnancy! 55555 Could Xixi be pregnant?? No wonder he got fat? Xixi must be healthy. Blessings!
Although the fans were full of speculation, it was a wave of blessings, and they tried hard to control the group that had unstanned.
However, Yu Weixi had more haters than fans. After this official announcement, the fan circle was in turmoil, and all sorts of black material was sent to their door. It was naturally not going to be peaceful.
—Yu Weixi had a child four years ago, but he deceived his fans by saying it was his “nephew”? He and Feng Yan were secretly married for four years and jointly deceived their fans? So cruel!
—Another possibility: Is Feng Yan suspected of being a cuckold? Is Yu Weixi’s private life promiscuous? Was there really a sugar daddy for The Coast back then?
—Top-tier celebrity Yu Weixi had a child early?! Fans are in tears!
—Divine-faced Dance King, the number one beauty in the industry, suddenly got fat overnight. His looks have collapsed??
…
The internet was in a mess. On the way to the airport, Yu Weixi heard the system’s notification.
—Ding-dong!
After Yu Weixi connected to the system, he heard a series of festive music.
Yu Weixi: “???”
New Year??
System: “Congratulations, Host! Your punishment mechanism has temporarily ended!”
Yu Weixi was overjoyed.
“Does ‘ended’ mean that I won’t get fat anymore?”
“That’s right~ Because the Host has obtained an excess of dark energy overnight, the system is now extremely nourished and is running smoothly! And the dark energy value has reached a new critical point. The Host can exchange for a reward!”
Yu Weixi really hadn’t expected that going public would have such benefits.
To be honest, in fact, Yu Weixi had already decided to give up on losing weight. After all, he had a baby now, and the baby was the most important. At most, he could only do more activities to maintain his health, but it was impossible to go on a diet or do strenuous exercise.
But now… he was directly given a welfare?
The corner of Yu Weixi’s mouth twitched. “Hehe, you know what I want. Just give me back what you took.”
“Okay, got it! The system will immediately restore your figure! But please note that it can only be restored to your original figure. The Host’s current obesity due to pregnancy is not the system’s responsibility.”
“If you’re going to restore it, then restore it. Don’t talk so much.” Yu Weixi was in a very good mood now.
“Okay!”
“Right, I’m reminding the Host here. Although there is a reward now, the Host must not be too relaxed.”
Yu Weixi raised an eyebrow.
“It’s like this. When the contract was signed, the deadline given to the Host was six years. It’s almost up now, so please fill up the dark energy and complete the contract before the deadline.”
If the contract was filled within the specified time, then he would get an ultimate reward. This reward could even bring the dead back to life. On the contrary… if it could not be completed, the system would forcibly terminate the contract and return to the starting point. In other words, the system would fail, and Yu Weixi would die of cancer.
“I know.” Yu Weixi frowned slightly.
In fact, after so many years of being in the limelight, Yu Weixi’s dark energy value was already almost complete. Now it was just a little bit short.
It was just that Yu Weixi still had the courage to stop, because he knew—in fact, even if he did nothing, there would still be people who would hate him. The dark energy would still not stop, and it would be enough to fill the remaining small gap.
But now…
Yu Weixi frowned, worried that if it was not as he had expected, if it was too late, then it would really be a tragedy…
In fact, Yu Weixi was not afraid of death, but… he was reluctant.
He didn’t want to “die young.” He still had Feng Yan, Niangao, and the little one.
“What is Xixi thinking about?”
Feng Yan was driving and noticed that Yu Weixi was suddenly sitting on the side in a daze, and couldn’t help but be curious.
“Ah…” Yu Weixi cut off the connection with the system and shook his head with a smile. “It’s nothing.”
Forget it. Just let nature take its course.
If it’s not enough by then, I’ll think of a way. Yu Weixi still had some confidence in himself. Heh, if he were to say that he was the second most infamous in the industry, would anyone dare to say they were the first? No!
“Right, my manager has almost blown up my phone.” Yu Weixi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“My team too, but it’s a mess right now. It’s better not to clarify for the time being. The more we clarify, the messier it will get.” Feng Yan shook his head.
Now there were all sorts of comments on the internet.
Some were cursing Yu Weixi for being promiscuous, thinking that Niangao was not Feng Yan’s son.
Some felt that Yu Weixi and Feng Yan had had a child four years ago and had deceived their fans, and were shameless.
Some face fans had unstanned and turned against him because they couldn’t stand Yu Weixi getting fat.
Some had unstanned because they couldn’t stand the two of them dating.
Some were questioning the second child…
In short, through the screen and the internet, it was impossible to stop others’ verbal abuse or comments.
But the two of them knew that there were many, many people who were blessing them.
The car drove slowly to the airport, and then the two of them temporarily said goodbye to Feng Yan’s mother and father.
Feng Bai still had a few consultations to finish in the US and would be back in two days. This time, he was just sending the two children to the airport.
“Xixi has to be obedient, you know?” At the customs, Feng Bai held Yu Weixi’s hand and instructed, “Don’t always think about losing weight, you know?”
“I’m not.” Yu Weixi said, “I’m not planning to lose weight anymore…”
“Good, good. That’s for the best. Eat more, but also pay attention to your diet. I’ve already written a list of what to eat more and what not to eat. You should pay attention. Also, I see that you like to watch TV and scroll through your phone. You should do less of these. Don’t face the screen for too long, and…”
“Alright, Dad. You’ve said this dozens of times. Forget about Xixi, my ears are about to grow calluses.” Feng Yan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he stopped his doctor father. “We’ve all remembered. If Xixi can’t remember, I’ll help him pay attention.”
“You little brat, I’m still counting on you…!” Feng Bai glared at Feng Yan. “You’d better restrain yourself. Don’t drag Xixi into any dangerous things. And Xixi’s body is weak now, and his temper will also be worse. You can’t bully him.”
“How could I?” Feng Yan was helpless.
After finally passing through customs, Feng Yan said, “Don’t mind him. Doctors are like that. And I don’t know why, but my dad just dotes on you.”
Feng Yan said sourly, “He’s not even like this with me.”
“I don’t mind.” Yu Weixi paused and lowered his eyes with a smile. “It’s the first time an elder has treated me like this…”
In fact, Yu Weixi quite liked it in his heart, this feeling of being cared for.
“Let’s go.”
The two then boarded the plane.
It was the middle of winter. Yu Weixi was wearing thick clothes, layer after layer, so you couldn’t tell if he was fat or thin.
The Feng family was very nervous and had directly wrapped Yu Weixi up so that not a single bit of skin was exposed. Gloves, hat, scarf… besides a little bit of his apple cheeks under his sunglasses, you really couldn’t see anything.
After a nearly full day on the plane, the three of them… oh no, the four of them, finally arrived at the domestic airport.
Feng Yan pulled the suitcase with one hand, carried a backpack, and wrapped his arm around Yu Weixi’s shoulder as they walked out. And Yu Weixi was holding Niangao.
“Xixi! Xixi!!”
“Xixi, we love you!!!”
Yu Weixi was taken aback.
Eh?
Yu Weixi saw that the area outside customs was full of people holding signs and banners. They must be fans who had come to pick him up. This trip was not through the company, but their own private trip, so the confidentiality was not done well. Feng Yan also hadn’t expected Yu Weixi’s fans to be so crazy.
“Xixi and Yan-ge, a hundred years of happiness!!”
“Xixi!! Little Xitang loves you!!”
“Xixi!! Yan-ge loves you!!”
Yu Weixi: “…”
Feng Yan: “…”
Pfft.
The shippers who had come to pick them up were actually fighting with the solo stans.
Feng Yan called for security. Then, surrounded by security, a path was cleared, and the two of them walked out.
“Xixi! Xixi!”
The fierce shouts exploded in his ear. Feng Yan frowned slightly and walked behind Yu Weixi, hugging him.
“Make way, make way.” Feng Yan held Yu Weixi and protected him in his arms, shouting, “Xixi is different now. He’s heavy. Everyone, make way!”
The whole place was silent for three seconds, then a wave of screams erupted.
He’s really pregnant…!
Yu Weixi was well-protected and couldn’t help but chuckle.
The two of them passed through the crowd of fans and then came outside to wait for the car.
Niangao was so scared by the commotion that he buried his head in Yu Weixi’s arms and didn’t even dare to look.
“It’s okay now. You can come down.” Yu Weixi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Those sisters are calling you because they like you.”
“Oh…”
Niangao got down from Yu Weixi. Feng Yan squatted down and gave him some water to drink.
“…Ice cream!”
Just as Niangao was drinking water, he saw a mobile ice cream stall by the airport’s main entrance.
“Daddy, I want to eat ice cream!”
“Ice cream!” Niangao pulled Feng Yan’s hand and shook it.
Feng Yan said helplessly, “Okay, just a little.”
After getting permission, Niangao “swoosh” and ran over to see what flavors there were.
“Wait a minute. I’ll go and buy it for him.” Feng Yan shook his head, placed the suitcase by Yu Weixi’s side, and walked towards Niangao.
Yu Weixi stood on the side, watching the two of them, but he was taken aback.
“…Feng Yan!”
Yu Weixi saw it clearly. Two or three people wearing masks suddenly rushed towards Niangao.
Feng Yan reacted very quickly. He strode forward and directly hugged Niangao.
Splash—
One of the people wearing a mask threw red paint at Niangao, but Feng Yan blocked it in time and held Niangao in his arms. The red paint thus splashed on Feng Yan’s coat and pants.
“Feng Yan!” Yu Weixi was so scared by the sudden change that his face turned pale. He didn’t even care about his luggage and rushed forward. Niangao also started to cry.
“It’s okay, it’s okay.” Feng Yan waved his hand. “It’s just paint. It’s okay.”
Seeing this, the three people ran away. But this commotion also attracted the security guards inside. The security guards immediately chased after them. The passersby on the side were either taking pictures with their phones or screaming.
“It’s okay, it’s okay.” Feng Yan coaxed Niangao while holding Yu Weixi’s hand to comfort him.
Yu Weixi looked at Feng Yan’s bright red coat, his hands still trembling.
That… is it a radical fan? Or a hater?
If that wasn’t red paint but something else harmful…
“It’s okay, Xixi. Let’s go in first.”
The security guards led the few of them in first.
