Chapter 79 Hot Pot Livestream
After finishing his work, Yu Jingchen glanced at the time; it was already four in the afternoon. He opened his phone and found that Xiao Qiao had sent him many WeChat messages.
Xiao Qiao: [This episode's theme is "Our Winter," and we're playing outdoor games without being divided into groups. Fu Shao is already having a blast playing in the snow.]
Yu Jingchen clicked on the following pictures.
One photo shows Fu Yanle catching a snowball thrown by An Shigou with a plastic spoon, his feet off the ground, his expression slightly ferocious. Another photo shows Fu Yanle walking forward with a thick white rope tied around his waist, while Tang Wanbai, who is also tied with a rope, is being dragged along. There are also videos of Fu Yanle doing somersaults and dancing in the snow.
Yu Jingchen enjoyed seeing Fu Yanle happy. He saved the photos and videos to his phone and was about to reply to the message when the butler sent him a link.
Xiao Qiao: [Hot pot live stream, come watch for a fresh look at Young Master Fu!]
Yu Jingchen couldn't wait to open the live stream. What he saw was a bright red pot, and a round table was filled with all kinds of dishes and drinks.
[Damn it, Star Journey's live streams always come out of nowhere! Would it kill them to give us advance notice? I almost missed it.]
[The hot pot looks delicious, but where are my handsome and beautiful darlings?]
[Every live stream is the perfect opportunity to indulge in some sweet moments! Big n-way, I'm here!]
...
What's the point of all this banging? It's all fake.
Yu Jingchen thought this after his attempt to turn off the bullet comments failed.
During this period, Yu Jingchen paid extra attention to Fu Yanle's various pairings. If he didn't understand how the pairing fans started shipping each other at first, after studying it for a while, he felt that there was no need to understand, because the logic of the pairing fans was indeed impeccable.
For example, when the pairings of Fu Yanle and An Shigou or Fu Yanle and Tang Wanbai are rampant, the pairings of Fu Yanle and Meng Xinqiu or Gu Jiming will say: being cautious is true love, while being carefree is just being brothers!
Then, the former's fans would immediately retort: "There's nothing we can do, our couple is just so high-profile, their sweetness is real and genuine, if they want to show off, we can't stop them. Unlike you guys, you can only pick up trash everywhere, and when you can't find any, you can only feed them with your imagination!"
Immediately afterward, the latter retorted: "Your family wears your 'innocence' written all over your faces! Don't you know there's something fishy going on behind your back? Only real couples would block the closet door!"
Immediately, the former retorted sarcastically: "Our brother and sister are always so loving, holding hands wherever they go, unlike your family, where it's hard to find candy after work, right? You're obviously destined to be a bad couple!"
The latter countered: Only true couples break up, and breaking up is better than you guys never breaking up at all. At least we made it real!
Finally, both sides shouted in unison: In short, the brothers are real!
Just as Yu Jingchen was lost in thought, the guests finally appeared on camera.
Yu Jingchen went directly to Fu Yanle's camera and saw the little white bear sitting down at a round table, holding a bucket of pinkish-white milk.
Fu Yanle took off her snow goggles and mask. Her hair was tucked into her bear hat, revealing a clean and pretty face. However, her eyes were vacant, making her look even more bewildered and adorable.
Wow! My darling son Lele is so cute, mwah!
...
Yu Jingchen glanced at the comments and was very satisfied: Very good, obviously everyone thinks Fu Yanle is cute.
In the scene, the guests are sitting around a round table. An Shigou and Tang Wanbai are still sitting on either side of Fu Yanle, with Meng Xinqiu and Gu Jiming next to them respectively, while Lin Qingtong is sitting directly opposite Fu Yanle.
Once the water boiled, Fu Yanle used serving chopsticks to add the food. The soup was bubbling and rising. After thinking for a moment, Fu Yanle took off her white fleece jacket.
[Goodness, she's wearing a pink sweater underneath? Fu is such a sweetie tonight!]
[In that brief shot, was Xiao Fu wearing a ring on his left middle finger?!]
Wearing rings is perfectly normal! Gu Jiming wore a string of rings at his concert.
But Xiao Fu doesn't wear rings often, does she? And it's on her left middle finger...
...
Seeing this, Yu Jingchen raised his left hand and touched the matching ring on his middle finger with great satisfaction. He took a sip of hot coffee, re-entered the live stream on his computer, and then closed the phone screen.
"Hello friends, our outdoor games segment for today has finished filming. This hot pot meal was requested by the director, but we paid for it ourselves." Fu Yanle waved to the camera, "Please type 'The director is a dog' in the chat, thank you."
The comments section immediately started scrolling.
"To be precise, Yanle paid for it himself, because he currently has 900 in savings, making him the richest man here!" Tang Wanbai kowtowed to Fu Yanle's shoulder, "Thank you, Daddy!"
"Rise." Fu Yanle smiled dignifiedly. "I just wanted to show everyone with my actions that besides people like the dog director, there are also generous men like me in this world."
The director yelled off-camera, "Get out!"
So now only Lin Qingtong has a balance of 100, and everyone else is dirt poor?
There's no need for moral blackmail in the preceding paragraph.
[Who's morally blackmailing me... I'm just saying, there's no need to be so sensitive.]
Lin Qingtong seems a bit off tonight; she looks listless.
After several episodes, Fu Yanle stole the spotlight, so how could he possibly have any energy? After all, the entire internet was saying that Fu Yanle was there to make him look good.
[Not only has his spotlight been stolen, but his on-screen couple has been stolen too, right? Meng Xinqiu and Gu Jiming are clearly more focused on Fu Yanle. It's only been a short time since the show started, and they've already stolen countless glances at him.]
It's a certainty that Meng Xinqiu and Gu Jiming like Lin Qingtong; just search it on Weibo if you don't believe me!
[Here he comes! Fu Yanle, the heartthrob, is he? Everyone loves looking at him! What a jerk!]
...
Seeing the argument erupting in the live chat, Yu Jingchen couldn't help but type: [Stop arguing, they're not the official couple.]
The moment this comment appeared, it instantly drew everyone into the fray, leaving not a trace.
Yu Jingchen: "..."
"We've filmed four episodes this season, so let's take advantage of this hot pot meal to chat a bit," the director instructed off-camera. "Don't just eat without doing anything."
Fu Yanle unscrewed the large milk bucket, and An Shigou and Tang Wanbai immediately placed empty cups in front of him. Fu Yanle filled their cups one by one, and finally poured himself a cup.
If we weren't filming a TV show, I'd really like to have a drink.
The director said, "Yanle, you're so smart, why don't you start the conversation?"
"Alright." Fu Yanle patted Tang Wanbai's head. "Wanwan, is there anything you want to say?"
"Yes!" Tang Wanbai took a sip of white peach milk. "Actually, I was really happy when I first received the invitation from the program team. Everyone knows that Xingtu is very popular, so it would be great to be on this program, and it doesn't conflict with my acting contracts. But when I heard that Yan Le was among the guests, I really shuddered on the spot."
"Am I really that scary?" Fu Yanle protested. "I'm going to sue you for defamation!"
Tang Wanbai, with her dramatic flair, gave a Parkinson's-like performance, vividly describing her feelings at the time. "As everyone knows, our Newbi War God Fu Yanle is no joke. During the years I dominated the internet with my alt account, I never missed a single 1vN battle with Yanle. I have a very clear self-awareness; I'm just a nobody. If Yanle were to insult me, I wouldn't be able to utter a single word. If I were pushed to the limit, all I could do was do a high kick on the spot."
"It turns out, even your high kicks aren't as high as mine." Fu Yanle put the hot beef rolls into the oil dish, and also used serving chopsticks to feed a few slices to his two good-for-nothing younger brothers next to him.
An Shigou, without even looking up, said, "Thank you, thank you."
"Yes, I can't out-argue Yanle, and I can't even beat him in a fight. But I never expected that Yanle is such a wonderful person! During the time I spent with Yanle, I changed a lot myself, most obviously becoming more confident and courageous. We had so much fun together, so I really like him! Some people online say that we're just doing this for publicity, and I can only tell those people: you're blind, Yanle and I are really good friends!"
Tang Wanbai wiped away the emperor's tears and rubbed her forehead on Fu Yanle's sweater.
"Anyway, I'm going to be your good-for-nothing younger brother forever. You have to keep spoiling me and pampering me, and you're not allowed to stray! Otherwise, I'll hang myself by your car door!"
"Don't be a burden to our gatekeeper." Fu Yanle affectionately patted Tang Wanbai's head. "Go find a quiet and convenient place to die, ah."
Tang Wanbai cried out in anguish, "Fu Beicheng, you are so cruel!"
Fu Bai is undeniably handsome! Their relationship isn't love, but it's definitely real!
[It's not just the romance that's worth shipping! Having true friends in the entertainment industry is really rare, and Fu Bai is so handsome!]
Actually, Xiao Fu really dotes on Wanwan. He basically grants her every wish, teasing her with his words but spoiling her with his actions.
[I'm a big fan of Wanwan (a nickname for a female fan), and I was really worried that Wanwan would be bullied by Xiao Fu (another nickname for a male fan), but now I just want to kowtow to Xiao Fu: I'm so sorry, I misunderstood you because I believed the rumors! Fu Bai (a nickname for a male fan) and may you stay together forever!]
...
"I won't say much more," An Shigou said, raising his milk to Fu Yanle. "Cheers, Yue!"
Fu Yanle raised his milk glass and said with great enthusiasm, "Cheers!"
The two drank half a cup of hot milk.
An Shigou wiped his mouth and said, "Okay, I'll say something anyway. Actually, my first meeting with Le was really not pleasant. I was really humiliated and angry by him. After I got back, I took a Chinese classics online class all night, just waiting to get revenge. But I didn't expect that we would become birds of a feather now."
"Your Chinese class was taught by the PE teacher, right?" Fu Yanle paused. "Oh, sorry, I insulted the PE teacher."
"Get out!" An Shigou said. "In short, there is no love between me and Le, only fatherly affection."
Fu Yanle was greatly surprised: "I am truly gratified that you can so frankly admit that I am your father!"
An Shi Gou slapped his thigh: "Get lost, you damn daddy!"
[A perfect pair of bickering lovers! A truly adorable dog duo! May their friendship last forever!]
[Gou is really straight, while Xiao Fu looks half-bent, so I knew all along that they were just father and son, hahaha!]
However, why did a casual chat turn into a confession session?
[Help! Are other people going to talk about their changing relationship status with Fu Yanle too? I'm already feeling so sorry for Lin Qingtong, my toes are practically tingling.]
[What a scene! The first two couples seemed to be confessing their feelings, but they actually broke up all the existing romantic couples. Ugh, I'm still a little heartbroken. Will the last two couples also have their romantic storylines broken up?]
...
Of course it needs to be dismantled.
Yu Jingchen happily opened the music app and played "The Truth Is a Lie" for the live stream.
