Chapter 161: Did You Unfollow and Turn into a Hater?
An Jing was now a walking question mark, letting Lu Yuqi drag him all the way to a corner before finally stopping. They were at a stalemate.
“You…” he began, looking at the young man in front of him, whose expression was strange and who seemed to be hesitating. He then glanced at their secluded corner. Wasn’t this the perfect spot for a confession?
Wasn’t he Lu Yuqi’s idol? Could it be that Lu Yuqi actually liked him? Was it the “like” for an idol, or the “like” of wanting a relationship? The two were vastly different!
If this kid confessed to him, how should he respond? Would a direct rejection be too hurtful? No, he had to be more tactful. What should he say…
An Jing straightened his clothes, then looked at Lu Yuqi with a serious expression. He cleared his throat. “Whatever you want to say, just say it. I’m prepared.”
Lu Yuqi was confused. “?”
Say what? That Gu Fei and your brother are having a secret rendezvous in the dressing room?
Forget it.
Lu Yuqi was silent for a moment, then something else popped into his head. He awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck and said with a tense face, “What my mom told you, don’t mind it. She was just talking nonsense.”
An Jing knew exactly what he was talking about.
Alarm bells went off in his head.
“So, you really have stopped being a fan!”
Not only stopped being a fan but started hating on him. No wonder this little puppy was always so sarcastic with him.
Lu Yuqi was dumbfounded. “?!”
“Is it something I did wrong? Why would you do this? Is my singing bad? Is my dancing ugly? Is my acting not good, am I not handsome enough? Are my legs not long enou—mmph!”
Before he could finish, Lu Yuqi clapped a hand over his mouth, looking at the man before him as if he were an idiot. What the hell was he talking about? What an imagination.
His words made him sound like a scumbag who loves and leaves them.
An Jing tried to speak. “Mmph… you!”
The warm air from his words sprayed across Lu Yuqi’s palm. As if burned, he immediately pulled his hand away, his body stiff, the tips of his ears turning hot.
He feigned composure and shot An Jing a glare.
“I suggest you go to the hospital, whether you’re sick or not.”
Unfortunately, his stiff body and the tone of his voice didn’t escape An Jing’s notice, nor did the faint pink blush creeping up his ears. An Jing collected himself and looked at him with a leisurely air.
The stare made Lu Yuqi feel incredibly uncomfortable.
An Jing asked, “So, have you or have you not unfollowed and started hating on me?”
Lu Yuqi shot back, “I haven’t!”
An Jing let out a drawn-out “oh,” his eyebrows raised, a hint of a smile in his deep eyes, his voice magnetic. “So, class president Lu, are you admitting that you like me now?”
Lu Yuqi was speechless. “…”
Damn it!
“It’s not a big deal, why be so secretive about it? If you had told me earlier, I would have given you an autograph…”
Before he could finish, the other interrupted him.
“So what if I like you, and so what if I don’t?” The young man’s tone was more agitated than usual. He forcefully pushed the man against the wall, his bright black eyes as sharp as a wolf cub’s, staring at the man before him, enunciating each word clearly:
“If I say I like you, will you like me back?”
An Jing’s back was against the wall. He stared blankly at the young man, who was now inches away, meeting those eyes filled with complex emotions. His mind went blank for a moment.
But just as quickly, Lu Yuqi took two steps back, seemingly realizing he had gone too far. It was all the fault of those two, flaunting their relationship in front of him. He had been provoked.
An Jing started, “You…”
“I’m sorry, just pretend I didn’t say anything, okay?” Without waiting for an answer, the young man turned and left, walking quickly.
Damn, damn, damn!
What did I just do?!
So melodramatic!
Lu Yuqi gritted his teeth in frustration, cursing himself for being an idiot. His pace quickened. He was still wearing the black costume, the hem of his robe fluttering with his movements.
Watching his retreating back, a thought suddenly popped into An Jing’s head again. His waist is really slim… He immediately shook his head. What am I thinking about at a time like this!
Based on the kid’s reaction just now…
It was obvious.
Lu Yuqi liked him. Not the “like” for an idol, but the “like” of wanting a relationship.
If I say I like you, will you like me back?
That sentence replayed in his mind over and over.
This was… really tricky.
He never would have thought the kid harbored such feelings for him. Didn’t he always give him a sour face? At first, he thought Lu Yuqi hated him. Even when he was drunk, he didn’t forget to curse at him and bite him.
Wasn’t that just like a grade-schooler? Expressing affection by bullying someone to get their attention.
However, given the kid’s stubborn and proud personality, it was indeed something he would do.
Also, when did Lu Yuqi start liking him? Why did he like him? Did he have some kind of irresistible charm? Oh, right, his entire being exuded that damn charm.
Well, for someone as outstanding as him, it wasn’t unreasonable for Lu Yuqi to like him. He had good taste!
That little rascal. If he liked him, he should have just said so. It’s not like he would… forget it.
“Teacher An, why are you just standing here?” The speaker was a staff member wearing a badge, holding some props. What is Teacher An thinking about? his expression was a mix of a frown and a smile.
But still, so handsome…
“It’s nothing, I was just contemplating life. That looks like a lot, let me help you carry it.”
“No, no, I couldn’t possibly trouble you…”
An Jing helped the staff member carry the props out. His gaze swept around, but he didn’t see the figure in black. He must have been embarrassed and was hiding somewhere.
“What are you looking at?” Wu Weiguang came over, his expression still complex, with a hint of gossip. He leaned in and whispered to An Jing, “What was that about with you two just now?”
“What what about? Nothing was about. Old Wu, you’re an old man, don’t be so gossipy.”
“Right, I have to go find my brother.”
An Jing turned to leave. Wu Weiguang coolly reminded him that he was going the wrong way. He immediately slammed on the brakes and hurried in the opposite direction. It was all that puppy’s fault. His antics had left his mind in a mess, all turned around.
Wu Weiguang shook his head helplessly. Young people these days were so complicated. He was getting old, he couldn’t keep up with them anymore.
An Jing stopped at the dressing room door and knocked. “Yanyan? Are you in there?”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a “clatter” from inside, like something had fallen to the floor.
“Yanyan, are you okay?”
His brother’s slightly nervous voice came from inside. “I’m… I’m fine, just dropped a cup.”
An Jing frowned in confusion, worried that something had really happened. Just as he was about to open the door and go in, it was opened from the inside with a “click.”
“Yan… Gu Fei?”
He looked at the man standing opposite him, barely ten centimeters away. The expressionless face seemed to carry a hint of displeasure at being disturbed. He coolly uttered a sentence from his lips, “Hello, brother-in-law.”
Go to hell with your brother-in-law. Don’t go around claiming relatives!
An Jing’s smile was a knife. He gritted his teeth. “I never realized you were so thick-skinned.”
“Also, what are you doing here?”
Gu Fei said, “Visiting the set.”
He said it so righteously. The CEO of the mighty Gu Corporation, traveling a thousand miles to visit this small production set for no reason? Was he that bored? Of course not, it was for his cute, kind, innocent, angelic little brother.
An Jing scoffed. His gaze went past Gu Fei to the person inside. His brother was hastily picking up the fallen cup, his fair little face flushed red.
Who knows what these two were doing in there, all alone. It was definitely Old Dog Gu’s doing!
“Big Brother, why didn’t you tell me you were coming?” An Qingyan smiled awkwardly, his hands clasped together in nervousness. It really felt like he had been caught in the act.
“I had nothing better to do, so I came to take a look.”
“Um, Director Wu was just calling for me. I’m going to go talk to him. You two…” An Jing’s gaze landed on Gu Fei, and he continued, “behave yourselves.”
At 2:30 in the afternoon, filming resumed.
The set was a flurry of activity, but everyone’s eyes still darted towards two people on the side from time to time. Even An Qingyan couldn’t help but look, because the two were simply too eye-catching!
Gu Fei and An Jing sat side-by-side in folding chairs, a table between them with tea, fruit, and dessert. The two leisurely drank their tea, watching the filming not far away.
While others were working like dogs, these two big shots were here to enjoy themselves.
But, sitting together, they were truly a sight to behold!
This production crew was a feast for the eyes!
This was the first time Gu Fei had seen An Qingyan act in person. He was serious and hardworking, exceptionally captivating. In his element, he exuded an endless charm.
But inwardly, Gu Fei was selfish. He wanted to keep An Qingyan by his side, not letting him go anywhere.
But it was just a thought.
“Yanyan’s acting is pretty good. He gets into character quickly.” An Jing nodded in satisfaction. His gaze then shifted to Lu Yuqi on the side. From a professional perspective, “That kid Lu Yuqi is not bad either.”
Hearing this, Gu Fei’s peripheral vision swept to the side, keenly picking up on something. He suddenly spoke, “What? Are you very interested in my cousin?”
An Jing’s heart skipped a beat. He had only glanced at Lu Yuqi a few more times. How did that Dog Gu find out? He glanced at Gu Fei. “What? When did Master Gu become so gossipy?”
“Hey, wait a minute, did you know all along that Lu Yuqi’s idol is me?”
Gu Fei said, “Mm.”
An Jing asked, “Why didn’t you tell me?”
Gu Fei gave him a look as if to say, “that’s a stupid question.” “You didn’t ask.”
An Jing was speechless. “…”
Gu Fei said
