After Being Reborn, I Became Explosively Popular Across the Entire Internet CHAPTER 118
Chapter 118: Gu Fei, I’m Really Angry!
A waiter placed a mango juice in front of a customer, but received no response. The customer’s gaze was fixed on their phone screen. Although their face was hidden by a mask and hat, the waiter felt a low, resentful aura emanating from them. The customer’s visible eyes seemed familiar.
Who could it be?
The waiter stood beside the customer, watching them with a puzzled expression. Finally, the customer noticed them, lifting their gaze. “Thank you, you can go.”
That voice…so familiar!
A lightbulb went off in the waiter’s head. They recognized the voice and the visible features. They were visibly excited.
“You… you… you’re Lin… Lin… An Qingyan, right?!”
An Qingyan: “?!”
He thought his disguise was perfect. How was he recognized? He immediately lowered his head, pulling his hat down further, his voice deepening. “I’m not, you’ve got the wrong person.”
Gu Fei, don’t look over here!!
Don’t let Gu Fei find out!! Help!!!
The waiter’s voice rose with excitement. The quiet café allowed the two people in the opposite corner to clearly hear the name “An Qingyan.”
“An Qingyan? Isn’t he that recently popular star?” Su Qianqian looked over. An Qingyan had his head down, making his face indistinguishable. “Probably a case of mistaken identity.”
Su Qianqian didn’t follow stars, but An Qingyan’s name was so ubiquitous that even casual internet users would know him. She wasn’t interested and looked away.
However, she noticed that Mr. Gu, who had been expressionless and indifferent since entering, glanced towards An Qingyan. His eyebrows and eyes softened, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Like an iceberg melting, a spring breeze blowing.
Su Qianqian: “…”
“Mr. Gu, you should know An Qingyan, he’s very popular lately.”
“Mm.” Gu Fei withdrew his gaze, his smile fading, but his good mood was still evident. He added to Su Qianqian, “I’m his fan.”
Su Qianqian: “…”
The cold, emotionless, domineering CEO also chases stars? The image was hard to imagine: holding a light stick, wearing various fan merchandise, maintaining that cold face while cheering for his idol?!
Su Qianqian was heartbroken.
Mr. Gu, this is so uncharacteristic of your domineering CEO image!!
“Should you go ask him for an autograph or something? Maybe it really is him,” Su Qianqian tried to maintain a smile.
Gu Fei: “No.”
He could sleep with An Qingyan every night, cuddle, kiss, and lift him up. What’s an autograph?
Why! Why!! Su Qianqian raged inwardly. Why did she hear a hint of pride in Mr. Gu’s tone? What was there to be proud of? Mr. Gu, were you born proud?!
On the other side, An Qingyan’s attempt to cover his identity only confirmed it. The waiter became even more excited, sensing impending doom. “Excuse me, I have something to do, I’ll go now.”
He hurriedly got up and left, his expression hidden behind his mask and hat, avoiding any eye contact with Gu Fei. He hailed a taxi at the door and quickly escaped.
“Wow… that was fast,” the waiter watched him drive away, sighing regretfully. Wuwuwu… I didn’t even get an autograph from YanYan.
So embarrassing! So embarrassing!
An Qingyan was restless in the taxi, his heart still racing. If Gu Fei found out he’d come here to secretly watch him, he’d have no face to see him again!
No, the one who should be embarrassed is Gu Fei!
Gu Fei went on a blind date with someone else despite having him as his boyfriend. He chatted happily and even smiled. That’s the behavior of a complete jerk!
At this thought, An Qingyan forgot his embarrassment. He was radiating a strong sour aura, practically turning into a lemon.
Not only sour, but also wronged.
How could Gu Fei do this? So annoying!
Back at the café, after An Qingyan’s hasty departure, Gu Fei also said goodbye to Ms. Su, paid the bill, and left quickly.
Is he going to chase after his idol?
Watching the man’s hurried figure, Su Qianqian took a sip of her coffee. You had a chance to ask for an autograph just now and said no. Now that he’s gone, you’re going after him?
Sigh…
The inherently proud man was just too proud.
This was Su Qianqian’s conclusion from this blind date. Also, she would never go on a blind date again! No one told her blind dates involve eating dog food?!
Gu Fei was about to drive home when his assistant called with an urgent document needing his signature. He had to return to the company first, delaying his return.
When he rushed back to the Gu residence, it was already dark.
Yu Qingtong wasn’t home; she’d gone to a hot spring resort in the suburbs with An Qingyan’s mother, Song Shuman. They hadn’t seen each other in months and had much to talk about, so they wouldn’t be back tonight.
Butler Shen was home. Seeing Gu Fei return, he hurried over, his expression worried. “Master Gu, Young Master An hasn’t eaten dinner since he came back. He’s been in his room the whole time.”
“Did you two have a fight?”
“Probably.” Gu Fei took off his coat as he spoke, handing it to the butler. “I’ll go see him.”
He’d anticipated this on his way back. This time, the little one was genuinely angry, not easily appeased like yesterday.
Because Gu Fei’s mother had returned, An Qingyan had moved back to the guest room last night. Yu Qingtong didn’t know their relationship; even if two men were close, they couldn’t share a room.
Of course, last night, while An Qingyan was asleep, Gu Fei had secretly slipped into the guest room, climbed onto his bed, and continued hugging him, falling asleep to the faint scent of his body wash.
Gu Fei’s life was very routine; he woke up early for work. When An Qingyan woke up, the man was gone, leaving him dazed and wondering if he’d dreamt Gu Fei climbing into his bed.
Now An Qingyan was also in the guest room.
Gu Fei stood outside the door, his hand on the doorknob but not turning it. The door was locked from the inside. He knocked gently. “YanYan?”
After a moment, there was no response.
Unfazed, the man turned and left, returning shortly afterward with a key. He effortlessly unlocked the door.
An Qingyan: “…”
The room was quiet. The person Gu Fei was looking for was lying in bed, completely burrowed under the covers, creating a large, cute lump.
Gu Fei couldn’t help but smile slightly. He sat down by the bed and gently patted the mound of covers. His magnetic voice held a hint of tenderness. “YanYan, come out. Do you want to suffocate yourself?”
An Qingyan silently clutched the covers, refusing to emerge. He wasn’t easily appeased this time. He was really angry, although… it was a little stuffy under the covers.
“Why aren’t you talking?”
“Is YanYan a mute?”
Since the other person was determined to ignore him, Gu Fei had no choice but to resort to force, attempting to forcibly lift the covers. The person inside was also clinging to the covers, but their strength was no match for the man’s. After a struggle, they lost.
An Qingyan’s head emerged, taking in breaths of fresh air. His cheeks and ears were flushed from being suffocated. He immediately turned away, presenting his stubborn back to Gu Fei.
Gu Fei calmly walked to the other side of the bed, facing the boy’s slightly angry and aggrieved face, his lips pursed downwards.
“…” An Qingyan turned over again, once more presenting his back to Gu Fei.
Gu Fei remained calm, again walking to the other side.
After several rounds of this, An Qingyan was completely worn out. He’d been turning over so much he felt like a kebab. He pulled the covers back over his face.
Gu Fei chuckled, his tone unchanged. “If you do this again, Fei-ge will throw away your blanket.”
The words sounded almost harsh.
An Qingyan felt immediately unbalanced. The man was clearly in the wrong, yet he was being harsh. Still… he lifted the covers, his flushed face even more angry and aggrieved.
He spoke proactively, “I was at the coffee shop just now.”
Gu Fei: “I know.”
“…” He’d been discovered.
“I don’t want to see you now, Gu Fei.” The boy lowered his head, addressing the man by his full name, then silently shrinking back under the covers.
Then Gu Fei manually prevented him.
“YanYan is angry because I met Miss Su?” The man sat by the bed, his hands on the boy’s shoulders, turning him to face him.
Gu Fei found An Qingyan’s anger amusing. The child was usually obedient, doing whatever he was told. Throwing a tantrum was rare.
Gu Fei was even a little pleased. Only those close and familiar could throw tantrums. He actually hoped the child wouldn’t be so obedient, that he could be more willful, spoiled, even unreasonable.
An Qingyan didn’t deny Gu Fei’s question. He pushed the man’s hands away, turning his face to the side. “Why did you meet Miss Su, and… you were laughing and chatting with her!”
“Gu Fei, I’m really angry.” He turned back to look at the man, solemnly declaring his feelings.
Gu Fei, without much decorum, watched the serious boy with a smirk, even pinching his cheek. “Then how can YanYan forgive Fei-ge?”
An Qingyan: “…”
With your current unapologetic attitude, forgiveness is impossible!
