PART 3
Tang Yue also had a bit of OCD. For example, Liu Xichao clearly saw him take his ID card when he left, but this guy would say in horror that he didn’t bring it, assuming the consequences of not bringing it, and then start to despair.
When Liu Xichao said he personally saw him take it and asked Tang Yue to look again, Tang Yue took out his ID card from his pocket and said tearfully, “Thank you, Third Brother.”
He… he was also quite cute.
At that time, Liu Xichao thought: If only he wasn’t so rough when packing his luggage.
In the afternoon, everyone was about to leave, and Liu Xichao went to check on Tang Yue.
The two days on the island were quite pleasant for everyone. They could walk on the beach every day.
The three meals a day were painfully guided by Grandpa and Grandma on how to cook them. Yao Lixin was in pain several times while scaling fish on the live stream and desperately called his wife for encouragement.
He was also a representative of a collapsed persona.
Different from Yao Lixin, who couldn’t even bear to kill a fish, Tang Yue, who had shown off his superb fish-killing skills, was still squatting on the floor of the room.
You could hear Tang Mian’s voice before you even went in. “Papa papa papa, did you also spend the night on an island before? Was it fun shooting the MV?”
“We stayed in a hotel. It was okay.”
“Then will Papa shoot another MV! I want to see it too!!”
Tang Yue hesitated for a moment, putting Tang Mian’s little pillow into the bag, then rolling up the little guy’s blanket. His technique looked much better than before.
But it still needed five-year-old Tang Mian to finish up, pressing it in and putting it away.
From their parent-child time, it was clear that Tang Mian had grown a lot. The cruel thing was that the five-year-old looked more mature than his dad.
“That would require me to have a new song. We’ll talk about it then.”
He looked like he was very good at fooling people, but unfortunately, Tang Mian wasn’t so easy to fool. While secretly stuffing his ghost story cassette tape in, he asked, “When is ‘then’?”
“When I have a new song.”
“When will you have a new song?”
Liu Xichao: Is this endless?
He stood outside, just as Jiang Shulu walked over. He asked Liu Xichao, “What are you looking at?”
“Looking at Tang Yue. I suddenly feel that having a child is quite fun. The two of them together won’t be boring.”
It wasn’t just Liu Xichao who was watching with relish; the comments were also full of viewers’ reviews.
Why are all of Brother Mie’s things so cute! I can’t even find the same ones!
Kids are only this fun at this age, right?
Although Tang Yue gives me the feeling of being a child, he really cares about Tang Mian. Ugh, my child has grown up without me knowing.
“Then you should have one with my uncle.”
Liu Xichao was stunned for a moment.
Pfft.
He said it so seriously! I actually thought about it for a second.
Damn, why is he so righteous.
Hahahahaha, even someone as thick-skinned as Liu Xichao is blushing.
“I feel like you’ve been… a bit…” Liu Xichao paused, “…too into it these past few days.”
Jiang Shulu readily nodded. “Because everyone says I’m selling the CP with Tang Yue.”
Is this something that can be said?
I feel like other boy bands aren’t so bold on variety shows. Oh, they’ve already disbanded.
Tang Yue, why did you take your son’s cassette tape out again?
Liu Xichao hesitated for a long time. “Alright, sell it more, make up for our lost youth.”
Jiang Shulu nodded. “Okay.”
What are you guys talking about!! Who warms up before selling a CP!
Do you guys believe it?
I thought of someone’s reply under the photo Jiang Shulu posted before, but when I woke up this morning, I found that the comment was deleted.
It was about which CP Jiang Shulu was selling? Hahaha, someone asked the poster why Jiang Shulu was selling the CP, and he didn’t reply!!
Can this group variety show bring them any popularity? I feel like they’ve always been popular. Yao Lixin and Liu Xichao aren’t short of work, only Tang Yue has no resources, right?
But there’s nothing wrong with them giving Tang Yue some popularity, it fits Away.
Spread the word, Jiang Shulu said he’s selling the CP, everyone, be sensible and ship it!!
After saying that, Jiang Shulu walked in and asked Tang Yue, “Are your things packed?”
Tang Yue was still racking his brains to answer Tang Mian’s question.
When will there be a new song?
He hadn’t even considered it. Liang Yi hadn’t asked him about his plans either. For five years, all his works were under the name Evening, purely instrumental, and didn’t require Tang Yue to write lyrics or sing.
He felt that there was nothing wrong with that.
But Tang Mian’s eyes were full of anticipation. At this moment, he was still saying, “I’ve seen Papa’s video on stage! It was so good! I want to go to the scene too, to cheer for Papa from below!”
I want to too.
Tang Yue, don’t waste your talent.
He seems to be the only one in an idol group who is recognized by the mainstream music scene, and it’s not the kind of paid marketing.
So that video was him singing, right? What language is it? Someone said it’s like Danish, I don’t think it is.
Seeing Jiang Shulu, Tang Mian grabbed the corner of Jiang Shulu’s clothes and asked, “Uncle, does no one like Papa’s singing anymore?”
Damn it! Who said that!
It’s Tang Yue who’s not singing!! I really don’t understand why he’s so self-deprecating, it’s so strange.
Right, didn’t he say before that his voice wasn’t good?
This! Is! Not! Good! It’s really too humble.
“No, many people like it.”
He picked up the backpack Tang Yue had packed, and held the little boy’s hand. “But your papa seems to have a lot of concerns. But it doesn’t matter, can Xiao Mie wait with uncle for him to say it?”
Jiang Shulu already had a handsome face, and many people still had the impression of his iconic look from back then.
At this moment, his gentleness was even more pronounced, and there was no sense of distance at all. In front of Tang Yue and Tang Mian, he was as soft as a cloud, easily making the viewers from the first-person perspective fall for him.
Tang Mian nodded and said a loud “okay.”
This understanding made Tang Yue feel a little guilty, but Jiang Shulu, who was carrying the backpack on one shoulder, keenly sensed Tang Yue’s emotions.
“You can do what you want to do, as long as you’re happy. You don’t have to do it because of everyone’s expectations.”
This sentence carried unconditional support, a complete “I’m on your side,” intimate enough to make Tang Yue’s eyes well up.
Tang Yue thought of the comment from the person who claimed to be an insider on Weibo.
Every word declared that Jiang Shulu had no choice, that he was a person swept up by his family.
Then is he doing things because of others’ expectations?
Does he have something he truly wants to do?
Tang Yue’s mind was filled with guesses. He pursed his lips, but took the initiative to hold Jiang Shulu’s hand.
Liu Xichao, at the door, didn’t expect these two to be so bold.
Perhaps because he stared at Tang Yue and Jiang Shulu’s joined hands for too long, Tang Yue looked back with a “what’s wrong” expression.
Jiang Shulu’s expression was as usual. “Haven’t you ever seen a CP being sold?”
Laughing my ass off!!
Can you be so brazen about it!!
It’s like I’ve traveled back eight years and started shipping again. I feel like I missed a lot of details, ugh.
Only Tang Mian didn’t quite understand and asked, “What is ‘selling a CP’? Is it a delicious dish?”
Liu Xichao thought of how he was once tied to Jiang Shulu, and suddenly felt too innocent.
Now, if he didn’t help out, he would be letting down the fan fiction that had made the managers laugh until they split their sides back then.
He nodded. “You’re the dish that came from selling that CP.”
Brother Liu, you understand so well!!
Who’s selling who!! A pun, deduct money.
Even a genius baby has times when he doesn’t understand.
I didn’t expect Liu Xichao to still tell this kind of dirty joke… what a genius!! I even understood it.
But Tang Yue didn’t understand either. He asked Jiang Shulu in a small voice, “What does that mean?”
Jiang Shulu replied teasingly, “He’s saying Xiao Mie is your child with me.”
Tang Yue: “Huh?”
—”Pork Intestines”—
When Tang Yue first transmigrated, he was curious about everything.
He was brave enough to try all kinds of new things.
When Liu Xichao suggested he try pork intestines, he was finally in despair.
Just smelling it was unbearable.
Once, he secretly ordered takeout with the manager.
Liu Xichao: Let’s get a pork intestine platter!
Yao Lixin: Extra pork intestines.
It was obvious they knew Tang Yue didn’t like it and were deliberately teasing him.
Tang Yue looked pale.
The other two stared at Jiang Shulu, signaling him to join in.
Tang Yue’s eyes looked at Jiang Shulu.
Jiang Shulu couldn’t bear it and, under Tang Yue’s expectant gaze, said—
Then four braised pork intestine rice bowls.
Liu Xichao and Yao Lixin cheered.
Tang Yue: I’m not eating!
Liu Xichao: Then order something else, how about braised duck intestines?
When the takeout arrived, Tang Yue got his favorite roast pork platter rice.
He held the rice with teary eyes and said, “Thank you, Captain.”
Jiang Shulu resisted the urge to pat his head and hummed in acknowledgment.
Liu Xichao, on the side: Little Tang Yue, have a piece, it’s delicious.
Tang Yue glanced at Jiang Shulu’s meal.
He found that it wasn’t pork intestines either and muttered, “Why are you all deliberately playing with me?”
Jiang Shulu: This shouldn’t be considered playing, right?
Tang Yue: Then what is playing!
Jiang Shulu was at a rare loss for words.
