Chapter 53 Livening Up the Atmosphere
Thanks to Yu Li's lightning-fast reflexes, which are comparable to those used to snag concert tickets.
When his colleague pushed the door open, he only saw the back of Qi Chenyan's head.
Upon seeing the scene inside the ward, the colleague covered his mouth, looking like he'd just stumbled upon some incredible gossip.
"Yu Li, so this is what you and your male best friend's relationship is like?"
"I understand, I understand. There is no such thing as pure friendship between men and women. Don't worry, I will never tell anyone."
As her colleague picked up her lost phone, she winked vigorously at Yu Li.
She thought her voice was soft, but in reality, it could be heard throughout the entire ward.
"If you two get married, remember to let me sit at the head table at the wedding banquet! I'll probably be the first one to do the kowtowing, right? Good luck! I love seeing couples who are close by eventually get married!"
Yu Li: "..."
Actually, there's no need to fix it, because they're already a legally married couple on a marriage certificate.
But when my colleague approached with his phone, I inexplicably felt that his back looked a little familiar.
While his colleagues were wondering what was going on, Qi Chenyan was the one who felt the worst.
Although he had been intimate with Yu Li before, it was under the influence of alcohol at the time, driven solely by a man's primal urges.
But at this moment, when he was immersed in his wife's unusually soft spot, Qi Chenyan's entire body froze for a split second.
The faint, yet very familiar jasmine fragrance emanating from Yu Li subtly seeped into his nostrils.
So much so that every breath he exhaled seemed to be imbued with Yu Li's unique aura.
Along with the ever-rising breaths, her earlobes gradually turned red, as if dyed by the morning glow.
And, an uncontrolled heartbeat, far exceeding the normal heartbeat, faster and faster, like a drumbeat.
He tried to move, but Yu Li held his face even tighter, pressing it even more firmly against that soft spot.
The contact area between the cheek and chest has far exceeded the normal scale.
Qi Chenyan was even a little afraid to breathe. At this moment, he didn't know if it was because his breath was too hot or his heart was beating too fast. His brain, which was hailed as being comparable to that of a division commander, was like an old-fashioned machine at this moment.
Even when wound up, it is too old to turn anymore.
"My male best friend is quite shy and doesn't like being in public. If he takes my phone and there's nothing else to do, could he also close the door for me?"
My colleague made a gesture like a love bodyguard, saying, "Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped. This matter is only known to you, me, and him. There will never be a fourth person who knows about it."
Then, after her colleague left, the person waiting for her outside complained, "Why are you taking so long to get your phone?"
"I have some juicy gossip for you, wanna share?"
The other party immediately switched to an enthusiastic tone: "What kind of gossip is this? Is it authentic? I don't buy gossip with twists!"
"When we were in the ward just now, do you remember there was a man in the bathroom?"
The friend nodded: "Isn't she Yu Li's friend?"
"Tsk tsk, what friend, it's boyfriend! Yu Li is in a relationship! I just went in to get my phone and I happened to see them being all lovey-dovey."
"Yu Li is actually not in a relationship? I didn't see her announce it on her WeChat Moments. Why would she hide her relationship? Is it true?"
Colleague: "It's true, although I didn't see her face, judging from her back, she has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, so she must be pretty. Yu Li is eating very well behind our backs."
So, within minutes, the news that Yu Li had a boyfriend spread in the TV station's small group chat.

Yu Li, who was completely unaware of this, quickly let go of her colleague's hand after the colleague left.
"Well, it was an emergency, so I apologize if I offended you."
Qi Chenyan said he was fine, but if you listened closely, you would find that his voice was a little hoarse.
As he spoke, he suddenly stood up, startling Yu Li.
"What's wrong?"
Qi Chenyan: "I'm going to the restroom."
He turned around, took long strides, and entered the restroom in a few steps. From behind, he seemed to be fleeing in panic.
Yu Li scratched her face. Was she angry? Did she feel embarrassed by burying her face in her hands earlier?
A short while later, Qi Chenyan came out, but upon closer inspection, one could see that his handsome face still had water droplets that had not been completely wiped away.
He simply used cold water to quickly cool down his feverish face physically.
Are you angry?
Qi Chenyan chuckled and said, "Of course not. Actually, even if we were caught, it wouldn't be a problem. I'll handle it properly. There's no need to be so worried."
Yu Li waved her hand, "No, you don't know how gossipy women can be."
"Didn't your colleague say that they would never tell anyone?"
He was too naive and completely ignorant of women's hearts.
Yu Li held out her hand and made a gesture, "Do you know what this is?"
"Four?"
Yu Li: "NONONO, this is the gesture my colleague made when he swore an oath to heaven. The oath is made with three fingers, but he held up four fingers."
"To swear to heaven is actually to swear to heaven four, it's a pun. My best friend and I often do it, it's an old trick, you men wouldn't understand."
Qi Chenyan chuckled, "I see. You're quick-witted, and I'm just out of touch with the times."
"What do you mean by 'young person'? You're young too. Do you know what people say about you online?"
"The most promising young man of our time, a master of diplomacy, invincible in his field, a debater among scholars, with a bright future... Hmm, what other words were there? Too long, I can't remember them all right now."
Yu Li had already prepared an excuse for him: "It's not that you don't know, it's just that you're too busy with work to surf the internet."
"But it's okay, I have plenty of time, and I can teach you more internet slang in the future."
Actually, Yu Li was just making a little joke to lighten the mood.
It was her first marriage, and she didn't know how to get along with her new husband in a natural way.
But as a journalist, or even a presenter, no matter who you're dealing with, you can't let them fall flat on their face.
She's a pro at picking up on jokes.
To everyone's surprise, Qi Chenyan said with a serious expression, "Alright, let's start by popularizing the latest internet slang?"
Yu Li let out a soft "Ah".
"Is this not meant to educate me, but just some random nonsense to fool me?"
Somehow, it ended up with Yu Li becoming the teacher in the online classroom, giving Qi Chenyan online lessons.
It was from Yu Li that Qi Chenyan learned that he actually had fans online, and even a super topic.
Supertopics are vertical discussion communities formed based on shared interests, usually used for interaction and trend tracking between celebrity fans.
Unbeknownst to many, Qi Chenyan's fan supertopic has a staggering five million members.
This number might not rank among the top celebrities, but Qi Chenyan is just an ordinary person after all. The fact that he has this many fans is enough to show how terrifying his popularity is.
"I also have a Weibo account, but my number of followers is less than a fraction of yours. It's really infuriating to compare yourself to others."
