Chapter 66 "Xiaoyi and I have been dating recently..."
It's been three days, and I still can't seem to move on. What should I do?
0L
I became a fan of that well-known couple at the beginning of this year.
At first, I just wanted to play around with it.
The more I looked, the more convinced I became that they were real (given all the evidence).
Then the thing that everyone knows happened.
I'm wondering how everyone copes with this. I feel so awful right now TT Even if it's just BL (Boys' Love) stuff, please don't tell us...
1L
I have a plan
LZ, I think the two of them are probably feeling even worse than you right now.
2L
I wonder if they're so awkward now that they'll never speak to each other again.
3L
Anyway, I'm relieved~ The fastest scandal to fall apart. I felt something was off from the first day these two started interacting, and now it seems it was definitely a deliberate attempt to whitewash their image.
The attempt to whiten it failed, and now it's gotten even worse.
4L
This is the karma of someone who lacks talent and integrity but loves to piggyback on others' fame and hype up other streamers.
5L
No skill? No integrity? Who won the Contenders Cup? Who did your teammates thank in their victory speeches? Maybe you should take a look at what you're talking about.
6L
Wasn't that obtained by currying favor with Yux?
7L
Well, although it seems like from beginning to end it was just someone else tagging along with the streamer to create hype. That person took the initiative to change their profile picture to a matching one, posted photos, and constantly mentioned the streamer in various places. Are those people's fans blind to this?
The streamer was the one who said to stop selling BL content, right? Do I need to count for you how many times Yux has actively done so over the past few days?
8L
Another unidentified creature has entered the building.
OP, try to think positively. Look, they're still using matching couple profile pictures today. Isn't that a kind of cooling-off period for divorce?
9L
I wasn't particularly shocked because someone with connections had leaked information a long time ago that the two had a feud.
Now I'm even more curious about what drove them to do all this, knowing they were actively selling homoerotic content...
10L
Can I say this? I think it's even more enjoyable to ship now.
First, from the conversation in that live broadcast, we know
1. The two are currently living together.
Based on the previous timeline, it seems that as soon as Yux returned, the two moved in together at lightning speed. If it were just for typical BL (Boys' Love) entertainment, was it really necessary to go to such lengths? They're at least good friends now.
2. The relationship between the two is currently strange.
Xiao Yi said, "I don't think this is good if things continue like this," so what exactly does "this" mean? Is it just selling bromance? Selling bromance to make money is mutually beneficial for everyone, so why would anyone think it's bad? Besides, he has never rejected any of his fans over the years, so there's no homophobia involved.
3. Then combine this with what Xiaoyi's pet says.
Now I have a terrible guess!
To reconstruct the whole story, it goes something like this: First, our two guests started engaging in some kind of BL (Boys' Love) drama for various reasons, but gradually developed feelings for each other. Our host, fearing she was getting too involved, suggested ending it, but the other party wouldn't let it go... Okay, I can't make this up anymore.
But to be honest, the part that I find most incomprehensible and illogical is this: since the two of them know they are selling bromance and are living together, why don't they just tell everyone (and use it to sell bromance) instead of hiding it and even lying?

Wow, HYG made an official announcement today!
[picture]
Are they really planning to play dead? There's still no news from either of them. = =
342L
The couple's profile pictures are still hanging.
The cooling-off period for divorce is still ongoing!
343L
No! No, please don't let it end like this! Aaaaaah!
...
514L
It's been... a full 17 days...
It seems to be true... I'm never selling it again...
well
It feels like an ending where they forget each other in the vast world.
515L
Fast forward to the official announcement of the sister-in-law
516L
There's nothing more to say now. Let's not try to save face. What's fake will always be fake, and what's fake can never become real...
Perhaps the love between you is fake, and only my love for you is real.
...
724L
I heard from a networking friend that HYG has strengthened its coaching staff. Are there any other capable coaches available for purchase? Hopefully, they won't just sign another youth coach whose name I've never heard of.
725L
I don't understand why a coach would hide it for so long without making it official. Does he think he's selling bromance too, and keeping us in suspense?
726L
Is Yux really planning to stay completely out of the public eye? He hasn't even retweeted the team's official announcement on Weibo yet.
He wasn't seen in his teammates' livestream either.
727L
I guess they're embarrassed. Who would dare to show their face in public after making such a blunder?
728L
Um... one question, does someone like Yux really feel embarrassed?
729L
[picture]
Someone ran into the streamer in City B. What was he doing there? He doesn't seem to have many friends there. Is he doing something recently?
730L
No, I've never heard of that. They probably just went out to play.
731L
It seems everyone's life is quite fulfilling; I'm probably the only one who can't seem to break free!
732L
I fantasized again, fantasizing that my on-screen couple would become real, with daily bestsellers, a high-profile official announcement, a secret marriage registration, countless posts and pictures, dominating the universe, and every CP fangirl in the world showering me with kisses. Then I woke up to find their Weibo and Stars fan group had zero updates, just a pair of lonely couple profile pictures, like I was left stuck in the same place, unable to move forward.
well!

Nan Zhiyi carefully tidied her hair in front of the phone camera, making sure her eye-catching creamy gray short hair was completely covered by the baseball cap.
He was wearing a white T-shirt, sunglasses, and a mask, carrying a small suitcase. He sneaked into the crowd, looking like just an ordinary passenger, trying his best not to look strange as he left the airport and arrived at the underground parking lot.
A gray SUV was waiting for him by the roadside as agreed. When he arrived, the left rear door of the car opened, and a tall young man wearing the same T-shirt as him got out.
You Xin opened the trunk and put the suitcase inside for him.
"Hurry up and get in the car." Nan Zhiyi was a little nervous about his appearance, and he was the first to climb into the back seat.
Only after closing the door did he remove the series of disguises from his head one by one.
His face was so well covered that fine beads of sweat had formed on his forehead, sticking a few strands of light-colored hair together in clumps.
Old Xu, in the driver's seat, glanced back at him and asked, "Why are you dressed so warmly? Aren't you hot?"
“Didn’t you say the club wanted to keep it a secret for now…” Nan Zhiyi said. He was about to turn around to look for a tissue when a dry touch came over to him—You Xin had somehow found a soft handkerchief and was now close to him, carefully wiping the sweat from his hair.
Old Xu, who was starting his car ahead, glanced at the scene in his rearview mirror and showed a look of nonchalance: "It's alright, as long as we don't stand together—Xiao You insisted on getting out of the car to pick you up, but I had to persuade him to stay."
She paused, then clicked her tongue and said, "Look at him, it's only been ten days since we last met, and he's treating you like his wife."
Nan Zhiyi: "…………"
He felt a warmth behind his ear, and just then, You Xin's hand brushed against his ear, causing him to tremble uncontrollably.
Nan Zhiyi hurriedly reached out and grabbed the other person's wrist, signaling with her eyes: We're in the car!
Yu Xin's expression clearly conveyed the message: Do I look like I care?
—Since Nan Zhiyi agreed to Lao Xu's request a month ago, both sides have been working tirelessly to prepare for this sudden collaboration.
Old Xu signed him up for the training camp, and Nan Zhiyi flew to City B on the third day without stopping to participate in the closed training of the camp.
In other words, almost the day after they confessed their feelings for each other, the two had to separate for more than half a month.
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, but the problem is, now...
Nan Zhiyi took a deep breath, grabbed his two mischievous hands, and firmly stuffed them behind the back of the chair, into the blind spot of the front row's view.
You Xin didn't resist at all, letting him hold her hand and warn her with his eyes, without saying a word, just sitting close to him.
The drive from the airport to the club took about an hour, during which we encountered the evening rush hour, and we arrived at the base close to 7 p.m.
On the way, Lao Xu explained the main tasks for the evening: everyone would first gather at the base for dinner, followed by an icebreaker activity to build rapport between the new coach and the players, ensuring smoother communication in the future. The team's operations staff would also be present tonight to film the icebreaker activity, which would later be edited into a vlog and released on the official Weibo account…
HYG's headquarters is a lavishly decorated building in the suburbs, housing the branches of several of its games.
Over the years, thanks to their last regional championship and the fame of star player Milk, the club has attracted a constant stream of sponsors, making it arguably the richest and most reputable team in the entire roeCN.
Old Xu parked the car in the parking lot, got out, and went around to the back to help Nan Zhiyi with her luggage.
The weather was lovely today, with a beautiful sunset in the sky. He looked up and squinted to admire it for a moment before his gaze returned to the two people in front of him.
Old Xu suddenly felt a pang of emotion: Many years ago, it seemed to be a similar day when he met two people at the station who were sixteen or eighteen years old and still looked rather naive.
At that time, none of them were famous, and none of them had ever heard of Lao Xu, Yux, or Angel Yi.
Now, after going through many twists and turns and achieving fame in their own ways, they have come back together and will continue to work hand in hand.
"If only we could have taken a picture back then," Lao Xu sighed. "It's a pity that vlogs weren't popular back then. If we had filmed a video back then and a video now, and combined the two into something like a time capsule, wow, if we posted it on the official Weibo account, the sense of destiny would be amazing."
Old Xu was still lost in his own imagination, unusually preoccupied with his emotions, and didn't notice that the two people in front of him were whispering about something. When You Xin spoke, Nan Zhiyi shook her head vigorously, and both of them put their hands behind their backs.
After a while, the two seemed to have reached an agreement. Nan Zhiyi bit her lip and said as if she had made up her mind, "Um, Brother Xu... there's something I think it's better if you know it."
Old Xu's thoughts drifted, but he managed to bring them back to reality: "Hmm? What's wrong?"
You Xin then stepped forward, reaching out from behind him and holding the other hand in his.
He waved his two interlocked hands in front of Lao Xu, and then spoke his first words of the day: "Xiao Yi and I are currently dating."
Old Xu still had a smile on his face, his tone unconsciously indulgent and gentle: "Yes, it's nothing. You said you're here now..."
He paused, then, as if finally realizing something, his face changed instantly, and his voice became sharp, like a mouse whose tail had been stepped on: "No, wait, you just said—no, what did you just say?? Huh???"
