Chapter 23 - Story 69-71

【69.]

All of the fans were stunned for three seconds, and then the comments in the broadcasting room were frantically full of the screen. While, Xu Chi had already been exited from the broadcasting room before he came around from the shock by What Tang Yanzhi had said.

Xu Chi: “…”

【What happened to them?!!!!!!]

【Oh My God! Oh My God!!]

【??????????????]

【So this is the idol Piggy often mentioned on Weibo, huh?]

【My God! Why their conversation sounds so sweet to me?]

【Wow!!Wow!!Wow!!!!!]

【What the hell?! Piggy and his idol actually know each other?! Meanwhile, Piggy professed his love to his idol in front of hundreds of thousands of his fans!! And his idol is a cute boy!]

【Come on, guys! Haven’t you found that cute boy has disappeared???]

【Oh My God! He indeed has disappeared!]

While, Tang Yanzhi had a thick skin. He could still talk with his fans calmly after throwing them the breaking news. “Well, that’s all about tonight’s live broadcasting. Good night, everyone.”

【Wait!]

【Don’t leave us here!]

【That’s it?!]

【Won’t you explain to us?]

【You will have a good sleep. How about your fans? How can they go to sleep with such a big question?]

【Stay here! Tell us more information about this cute boy!]

【What is the pen name of this cute boy? I’d like to read the stories he wrote!!!]

“Come on… Take it easy!” Tang Yanzhi looked at these comments and said. “My idol has been scared off by you.”

【I doubt it!]

【How shameless you are!]

【It’s you, not us, who scared him off!!!]

【Are you shifting blames now?]

【I guess after hearing the news about your live broadcasting, your idol took time out of his busy schedule to come here and support you. Piggy, am I right?]

【The couple between a fan boy and a legendary writer? What a romantic couple it is!]

Tang Yanzhi resolutely ended this live broadcast no matter what his fans said, and then he took out his phone and entered WeChat.

Tang Yanzhi:【Baby, I’m coming. jpg]

Xu Chi:【Leave me alone. jpg]

Xu Chi: Why did you say that in the broadcasting room?

Tang Yanzhi:      Why did you ask me that question? I always tell no lies, so I have no choice but to tell the truth.

Xu Chi: …

Xu Chi: Well, you are right.

Tang Yanzhi: Was you exited by the poor network?

Xu Chi: Yeah… Your fans…

Xu Chi: They are so enthusiastic.

Xu Chi: 【picture]

Xu Chi: Look. Your fans are discussing this matter on the comment area of your post on Weibo.

Tang Yanzhi: Never mind. Anyway, they don’t know who you are.

Xu Chi: OK…

Tang Yan Zhi: You also made a mistake! How come you sneaked into my broadcasting room without telling me?

Xu Chi: …

Tang Yanzhi: Well, tell me how you feel about it.

Xu Chi: About what?

Tang Yanzhi: Don’t play dumb.

Xu Chi: …

Xu Chi: I’m surprised… Although you have said that to me once, I thought you were just kidding…

Tang Yanzhi: And what else?

Xu Chi: Well…

Xu Chi: I felt a bit ashamed. After all, I’m not as good as you think.

Xu Chi: Compared with you, I still have a lot more to work on, no matter it’s my writing or the number of fans. I don’t deserve to be your favorite writer.

Tang Yanzhi: So, do you still think I’m kidding this time?

Xu Chi: No. You are indeed serious.

Tang Yanzhi: Good.

Tang Yanzhi: Every reader has different tastes and will judge writer’s works subjectively or objectively. So will you continue to prevent me from being your fan?

Xu Chi: …

Xu Chi: No, I won’t.

Tang Yanzhi: Listen. I wouldn’t talk up your works just because you are my friend. Your writing is good. I am always telling the truth.

Tang Yanzhi: I like Shortie from the bottom of my heart.

Xu Chi: …

Xu Chi: Why not pick some easy topics? The atmosphere is so weird now.

Tang Yanzhi: Huh… It’s because of your lack of confidence!!! I worry about you, so I have no choice but to comfort you!!!

Tang Yanzhi: Go for it, Shortie!!!

Xu Chi: ?

Xu Chi: Hold on! How come you know “Shortie”, my nickname?

Tang Yanzhi: From your post on Weibo.

Xu Chi: You know my Weibo account?

Tang Yanzhi: I know everything.

Xu Chi: Alright…

Xu Chi: I’m gonna write stories.

Tang Yanzhi: OK. Go to bed early.

Tang Yanzhi: 【Good night. jpg]

Xu Chi: Good night.

At the same time, on Weibo, a Weibo account specially for gossips.

【Message from a fan]: I wanna buy the last ten minutes of audio clip from the live broadcast of Guinea Pig tonight at a high price! Or video clip!!! At high price!! Due to the poor network, I was exited out of the broadcasting room in the last ten minutes. By the time I entered the broadcasting room again, it had been over! [Crying. jpg]

No.1 Onlooker: My sympathy to you, my friend. You have missed a great event.

No.2 Onlooker: +1. It’s indeed a great event. And I am so lucky to witness it.

No.3 Onlooker: Hold on. I haven’t calmed myself down for a long time. No.4 Onlooker: Collect all the information about this cute boy named “I Am Gonna Cry” at a high price! Super high price!

No.5 Onlooker: Forget it, my friend! It’s no use. Piggy’s fans have tried to do that but found nothing except this ID. Piggy must know we won’t find any clues, so that he feared nothing. He’s so cunning!  No.6 Onlooker: Oh My God! Why would I follow an idol who prefers to keep his fans in suspense for a while?

No.7 Onlooker: Come on! This is not the first time for Piggy to keep us in suspense.

No.8 Onlooker: In addition to Scottish Fold and Guinea Pig, is there any boy writing stories in BL circle?

No.9 Onlooker: Well… How come you make sure that boy is writing BL fictions?

No.10 Onlooker: I had watched the last ten minutes of the video for more than ten times. Here are my conclusions: First, Piggy recognized the voice of his idol by several words. Second, they are familiar to each other. Maybe they are friends in real life. (I made this wild guessjust because Piggy and that cute boy sounded like friends) Third, the cute boy may be a person who writes very well but is shy in reality. (You’d better trust a woman’s intuition) Finally, I heard the reply that “It’s you” for more than 20 times. I suppose that Piggy was expressing his unspeakable ideas through this answer.

No. 11 Onlooker: You mean…?

No. 10 Onlooker: Yep!! What a romantic love story it is!

No. 12 Onlooker: Hahahhaa. Although Piggy could prevent us from getting the information of that cute boy, he couldn’t stop us from following the love story between them! There is already a female writer starting writing stories between them. I am gonna read and support it!

No. 13 Onlooker: Could you please send me a link about that ongoing story? I also want to support it!

No. 14 Onlooker: The top is a bossy and affectionate fanboy; the bottom is a shy legendary writer. Oh My God! What a great couple they are!

No. 15 Onlooker: I don’t mind whether I am single or not! But the couple I prefer must get married.

【71.]

At 01:14 a.m., Beijing time.

Baby Face: “Daddy”!

Tang Yanzhi: ?

Baby Face: Did you enjoy your winter vacation?

Tang Yanzhi: Stop beating about the bush.

Baby Face: I’d like to know the relationship between you and Xu Chi. It’s winter vacation now, so how do you keep in contact with him?

Tang Yanzhi: Don’t worry. I can deal with it.

Baby Face: Huh? Sounds like good news. How is it going?

Baby Face: Has he known you like him?

Tang Yanzhi: Yes.

Baby Face: Does he like you?

Tang Yanzhi: Yes.

Baby Face: Why haven’t you been in a relationship????

Tang Yanzhi: What matters is that I told him I was straight. So he always misunderstood what I meant. He thought I just liked him as a friend.

Baby Face: ????

Baby Face: Why did you tell him you are straight?

Tang Yanzhi: Because at first I had no idea that he was gay… Something happened at that time. I was afraid he would feel antipathy, so I told him I was straight… Well, I didn’t expect that…

Baby Face: What didn’t you expect?

Tang Yanzhi: I didn’t expect that he was not a straight man…

Baby Face: Hahahahahahaha. You’re caught in a trap of your own making!! So what will you do?

Tang Yanzhi: Well. Take it easy.

Baby Face: Since he likes you, why don’t you take actions?

Tang Yanzhi: Well, you don’t know him. It takes some time for him to open his heart to others. In other words, I think he is not aware of his feelings to me till now.

Baby Face: Such a dorky boy… Oh My God! Facing such a handsome boy with a dorky character, aren’t you afraid of losing him?

Tang Yanzhi: Losing him? I won’t lose him.

Baby Face: Someone else may pursue him.

Tang Yanzhi: So what?

So what? The distance between him and Xu Chi was as close as he could get to him in a few steps, but this time he didn’t want to go further.

He’d like to wait, wait for Xu Chi to take the initiative and get close to Tang Yanzhi.
