Chapter 100 Wishes always go astray
"When you make a wish later, remember to state your name clearly. It's best to state your ID number, okay?"
Stepping out of the subway gates, the people heading to the same exit as Guan Yue were almost all heading for the same destination. The diverse aspirations of believers made the flow of people at this exit vastly different from the others. The elevators leading to the exits were incredibly crowded, and the "prayer tips" I had originally shared with friends were now selflessly shared with passersby in close proximity.
It will become a close contact...
Guan Yue complained silently in her heart, but she also pricked up her ears unconsciously and urgently supplemented her not-so-rich knowledge of metaphysics.
"I don't have Lele and the others' ID numbers. Is that okay?" She tugged at Fang Li's sleeve worriedly and whispered in his ear as he leaned in. Seeing the eyes on Fang Li's mask curved into slits, she knew he was going to laugh at her. With a snort, she quickened her pace and squeezed between the two people in front of her, leaving him no chance to catch her.
Sincerity is the key to success.
This was the most beginner-friendly advice Guan Yue had heard along the way, and she took it to heart. The winter wind howled in Beijing in early November, and the incense flame kept blowing out. She patiently asked Fang Li to change angles several times, their two heads pressed together, and four hands frantically and diligently trying to protect the flame.
She repeatedly reviewed the guide she had found online, carefully bowed to the four directions, and finally inserted three incense sticks into the incense burner.
Even if the incense ash fell on her hands and burned her palms, she still tried her best to insert the incense stick firmly.
That's sincere enough.
Guan Yue, clutching the incense ash and glass bracelets she'd bought for Suginohara Raku and Hanyu Yuzuru, mentally reassured herself. She went to sleep with such a resolute and optimistic mindset, but early in the morning, a barrage of messages had her sitting in bed, counting on her fingers as she carefully considered what she had done wrong and which deity she had offended.
"Yueyue, I have a conference call later. Breakfast is on the table." Fang Li pushed open the door and saw Guan Yue, with her hair freshly combed, frantically scrolling through her phone. Her tightly furrowed brows made him guess, "Stop scrolling. We've got 7+14 points in this close call. Let's just stay home."
"Why are these people talking nonsense?"
Guan Yue didn't respond to him, but threw her phone onto the bed, furious. Fang Li picked up the phone that was thrown at the foot of the bed curiously, and after taking a look at it, he realized that he hadn't guessed his girlfriend's thoughts at all.

Click on any trending search and you'll see a cartoon avatar with a golden V. A long text eloquently claims that Yuzuru Hanyu's relationship is in trouble. His girlfriend wasn't present at such a significant solo performance, and insiders claim their relationship is strained. If it weren't for the final line, citing the source, one would have mistaken the red-fonted ID for some powerful insider.
"Tsk—what are these..."
Fang Li frowned and returned the phone to Guan Yue. The disgusted look on her face made her find supporters immediately, and the emotions that had been suppressed in her heart began to pour out all at once.
"Right! Look at what's written here! Who noticed that Lele wasn't there? She rushed back to attend the meeting after the performance! They took a picture of her in the troupe, and then they started talking nonsense without even mentioning the time! Lele worked so hard for the ice performance, her face is almost gone! And these marketing accounts, the content they posted is inconsistent, don't they notice? Do they really think they are bots?"
Guan Yue slapped the bed loudly, but it didn't ease her anger. Fang Li understood, but the upcoming online meeting was already waiting for him in the next room, so he couldn't finish his work of comforting his girlfriend in time.
"Do you want to..." Fang Li said, lowered his head to pick up the phone, hesitated and wanted to send a message to Le, but before he clicked on the avatar, Guan Yue snatched the phone away.
"Don't even think about going to look for her. They're both in the center of the storm right now, and they're the ones having the hardest time. I'm so upset, how miserable they must be. We can't add to the chaos."
She spoke righteously, and Fang Li patted her head with a look of satisfaction.
"Then, you just..." He was about to tell her not to be angry, it's not worth it, but before he could finish his words, he saw his girlfriend rolling up her sleeves, as if she was ready to fight to the death.
"Humph, this close contact came at the perfect time. I have plenty of time now. Let me have a good chat with you!" He then picked up his phone and clicked on the comments section, completely ignoring Fang Li's unnecessary nagging. He gritted his teeth and said while arguing with others, "I have come to understand. This is all God's will. The Bodhisattva asked me to teach you haters a lesson!"
This...what is going on...
Looking at the furious Guan Yue, Fang Li could only shake his head and return to his remote work. After a highly inefficient online meeting, he left the room exhausted and furious, hoping to provide some support for Guan Yue. However, he discovered she had completely lost her former self and was now in tears.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Who bullied you? Let me help you scold them!" He rolled up his sleeves and walked over to take the phone.
【Jumping Battle (Group of 3)】
Yuzu: Yue-san, I think you've seen the news online. Don't worry, Le and I are fine, and I will take good care of her. ^ - ^ (please use translator)
Yuzu: Le is quite busy and has gone to rehearse with the dance troupe. Before she left, she asked me to tell you, hoping that you wouldn’t cry out of worry after seeing the news.
Yuzu: You are our important friend, but we always make you worry. We are so sorry.
He long-pressed each of the half-understood texts, clicked on the translation button, and read them one by one. The poor translation always failed to capture the meaning. The simple, caring words, like those from ordinary young friends, left Fang Li momentarily unresponsive. The silly, □□ profile picture also felt unreal. Neither the text nor the profile picture matched the figure on the ice that he had imagined.
He finally understood Guan Yue's tears and anger. These two "celebrities" were just friends, ordinary friends.
"Can I join this group?" Fang Li said as he returned the phone to Guan Yue. "I want to tell them that I will take good care of you. They just need to focus on their own affairs."
In the Yokohama K-Team practice room, Le wiped his sweat as he returned to the locker room amid the whispers of the people around him, pulling his phone from his locker. The message bubble on the WeChat icon was predictably prominent, yet surprisingly numerous. Fang Li, who had been added to the group after asking, and Yuzuru Hanyu, who was also in the group, unexpectedly chatted a lot, interspersed with Chinese, Japanese, and English, about everything from keeping in touch with each other's health to anime and games, a lively exchange.
How did it turn out like this?
Le flipped through the chat logs in astonishment, trying to keep up with the developments. He couldn't help but sigh, "Today truly is a magical day. After all, since waking up this morning, something unexpected has been happening."
She'd worked late last night, and she'd barely tucked into bed when Yuzuru Hanyu returned home from practice. She listened as he carefully and quietly carried the suitcase into the house, unzipping it with exceptionally slow movements. Then the washing machine started, and the door quietly opened. He leaned in to take a look. His coat had long been removed, and the sweatshirt underneath was warm, not a trace of the cold outside had been brought in by him.
Le closed her eyes, not knowing if her slightly fluttering eyelashes betrayed her efforts to fall asleep. She only knew he came over and gently rubbed her hair with his palm. She drifted off to sleep, and when she woke up, he was holding her in his arms.
After a sound and satisfying sleep, the message on my phone when I woke up was a real blow to me, instantly waking me up.
"Just deal with this matter in your own way, don't worry about me." She kissed Yuzuru Hanyu's cheek before going out, and watched his fists clenched due to anxiety and anger slowly loosen, "I'm so busy now, I don't have much energy to care about those gossips, so thank you for handling it. I'm going to rehearse with the troupe. Oh yes, I guess Yueyue in China will know about this situation soon, and she will definitely worry about us again. Tell her when you have time, I'll leave it to you." After that, she hooked his chin handsomely, printed an encouraging kiss on his lips, and quickly ran out the door before he could react.
Yuzuru Hanyu should be very busy today. Although he doesn't intend to respond to or address these irresponsible tabloid reports, he still wants to find out where the rumors came from. Besides, doesn't he have to reschedule the video editing for the ice show? And there's also the filming and editing work for his YouTube channel...
Why are we talking about the plot of Tokyo Ghoul in the group now?
"Are you listening to what I'm saying to you?"
The car suddenly stopped at a traffic light. Le subconsciously tightened her seat belt in the sudden brake. She turned around and saw He Jiu looking at her with dissatisfaction.
"Yeah, I'm listening, I'm listening."
"I say, you've been distracted by too many things lately. The performance is less than a month away, and there's also the year-end choreography and director assessment. You should focus more on your own affairs."
The red light turned green, and Kan Le's attention had returned. He Jiu stopped glaring at her, turned around and continued driving while talking.
"The rumors going around lately are all caused by your big star. You must not be affected by them. This opportunity to be the Lady of the Camellias is so rare. If you don't cherish it, don't hurt me."
After the witty remark, the car fell silent, making him feel a little awkward for a moment. Just as he was about to add a few words, Le Youyou opened his mouth.
"Don't worry, I will take care of it. This opportunity of Lady of the Camellias is also extremely important to me. I know it in my heart, and Yuzuru knows it too."
"What does it have to do with him..." he muttered softly.
"Hmm? What did you say?"
"I think I'd better take you to the underground parking lot, it's safer." He glanced at the rearview mirror and saw a familiar van following behind the car.
Forget it, he doesn't care what the tabloids write.
