Chapter 17 - A new CP

When Fang Qiao woke up in the sofa, Lu Yanzhou had left as expected.

There was a quilt on his body, and he had no idea when it was put on his body. Besides, the quilt looked as if it hadn’t been used for a long time. Maybe Lu had searched the closet of the secondary bedroom before he left.

Fang smiled, and went to sleep again with satisfaction while holding the quilt.

After the daybreak, Fang called a man to unlock the door. As soon as the bedroom door was open, Fang rushed in and shoved the magazines under the bed. But then he thought he shouldn’t have been afraid, since the boss wouldn’t come to his small flat the second time.

Lu went to his office early this morning. Since the sex last night was wonderful, he even forgot the unpleasantness with Ye Ran. Recollecting the appearance of Fang last night who was groaning under his body while kissing him, Lu couldn’t help smiling.

When the agent of Fang came in, he saw the boss was smiling contently and weirdly.

Lu held back his smile quickly, and asked the agent what was the matter seriously.

The agent reported, “Yesterday the production team of the TV show called to ask whether it was necessary to cater to the market in editing since the game interaction between Han Jiayue and Fang Qiao was really a selling point.”

The agent had been lazy to report the things about Fang in the past, because the boss himself hadn’t paid much attention to Fang after all. However, considering the close attention of Lu on Fang recently, the agent didn’t dare to decide all by himself, so he came here specially to ask for instruction.

If public opinion was directed well on the Internet, it would be beneficial to the advertising of the new drama. Besides, Fang’s popularity could be raised to some extent. So after thinking for a while, Lu agreed.

A few weeks later, Fang Qiao, who had no idea about the decision of the senior management, stayed at home happily waiting for the premiere of the TV show.

Since it was the first time for him to be in a TV show, Fang got nervous in the heart. Therefore, he invited Lin Yao home specially to accompany him to watch the show together.

Having been stood up twice recently, the Beauty Lin pulled a long face, and he just crossed his arms, saying no word. The two guys looked as if they were watching “Approaching Science”.

After the show began, the camera shots were frequently given to Han Jiayue, which made Lin Yao get even more upset. He looked as if he would jump up at any time to change a channel. Fang had to hide the remote control behind his ass.

In the beginning self-introduction section, everything was normal, and the production team was even considerate enough to add applause and cheers as background sound in the section where Fang got into an awkward silence. But when it came to the game section, Fang realized gradually things went somewhat weird.

Pink bubbles were added in the part where Han moved closer to Fang’s ears saying some malicious words. What was the purpose?

Why the clip in which the two guys rolled on the ground was replayed with a slow motion?! It was easy to make people misunderstand.

The absurd operations came so quickly that even Fang’s face turned red after watching the clips.

Lin glanced through Weibo before the show came to an end. While looking through the related posts, Lin frowned. Fang moved closer with bad expectation, finding what Lin was reading was just the official post of the program. There had been over ten-thousand comments below, most of which contributed to the other five hot stars whose fans had directed the contents of the comments and forwarded the post.

Lin swiped the comments downwards, and things got weird gradually.

“Am I the only one who senses a ship developing between Han Jiayue and Fang?”

“Wow, finally I find someone who has the same feeling with me!”

“What the fuck! They looked apparently two uke!”

“The love of two uke is cute as well, OK? When two uke are in love, one will certainly rise to be seme.”

Fang was scared! Having been forced to be linked with Han was already aggrieving, he couldn’t imagine being the bottom.

Of course, most of the real fans of Han didn’t want to see their idol have relationship with others, and thus Fang, some nobody, was not up to standard in particular in their eyes.

Words like “flattering”, “opportunistic” poured in from all directions, and reading through these words made Fang’s eyes sore.

Rubbing Fang’s head, Lin said, “Forget it.” He was about to lock the screen when a WeChat message popped out.

Han Jiayue: What’s wrong with your old flame! Let him get lost! Don’t try to take advantage of my popularity!

Lin Yao, “…”.

Fang, “… How could you have got his Wechat?”

Without response, Lin opened his Wechat, and blocked Han Jiayue.

Fang had thought this kind of matching-up couldn’t arouse much attention; however, it turned out that the netizens of the new era could be interested in any kind of CP.

When Fang got up the next day, and swiped the Weibo, both the topic “Qiao Yue” and the name of the Republic drama had been on the hot-search list. The fans of them even had set up a super topic concerning about it. When the topic was clicked, thousands of related fan works flooded the screen.

Fang got shocked, and at the same time, he thought the matter wasn’t simple, so he called his agent to ask what was happening.

Xiang shifted the blame. “It’s Mr. Lu’s idea.”

Since it was decided by the boss, nothing could be done about it. Fang thought, “You just do as you like, and I can always pretend to be blind, can’t I?”

Fang was on the hot-search list again by the afternoon. He couldn’t pretend to be blind any longer this time.

A large number of anti-fans had gathered on the Internet within half a day, who searched violently for those unreal stories three years ago. When Fang’s team broke up three years ago, they were not very famous, and so those unreal shameful stories didn’t get around widely like this time. Now having connected with Han Jiayue, Fang not only offended Han’s fans, but even the marketing accounts came out, intending to take the opportunity to get some attention.

Those so-called shameful stories were not thoughtful when examined carefully. Without any evidence, they just said Fang had dropped out of the junior middle school, and had gone to dirty places to be a ‘duck’ ( In Chinese, “to be a duck” means prostituting oneself), depending on his sugar daddy to rise slowly.

Fang got confused. Where on earth did the claim of being a ‘duck’ come from? Actually, he knew how to roast a duck.

Meanwhile, in the presidential office of the Xingzhou Entertainment, Han Jiayue was sitting on Lu Yanzhou’s leg, being coquettishly.

Han wore a loose sweater today, revealing his beautiful collarbones with the corner of his eyes on his pretty face getting a little bit red, which would easily arouse others’ desire to love him.

“Mr. Lu, I don’t want to have any relationship with Fang. He is not as handsome and popular as me. So why should I get involved with him?”After saying these words, Han waggled his ass to rub Lu’s thigh.

Without being swayed, Lu patted Han on the ass to let him stand up. Then he said in a serious tone, “I have used so many resources to support you. Now I want you to help advertise the new drama of our company, and help our company’s entertainer. Isn’t it proper?”

Han didn’t know what to say for the moment, thinking whether it was because he was not that attractive, or Lu had a higher taste, or why didn’t Lu yield to soft approach any more?”

Lu’s mobile phone rang at the moment. Han cast a glance at it. It was from Fang Qiao.

Lu answered it. Without any idea of what was said at the other end, Lu just said in a low voice, “H’m, I get it”, and then hung up.

Han got a little complacent for a short while. “Look, it is useless even when I plead in person. Mr. Lu won’t respond to you certainly,” Han thought.

However, Lu called his assistant the next second saying, “Inform the team of public relations. Fang’s shameful stories must be erased completely, and suppress the topic on the hot-search list. Are you too idle to have nothing to do? What the damn intention of hyping the coupling?”

Han Jiayue, “???”
