Chapter 70: CH 70

The same kind of post, with the same kind of actions done to it, but the meaning was as different as heaven and hell.

These two parallel actions by Chen Yi had people’s eyes pop out of their sockets from shock. On one side, he reshared the celebrity’s post, and on the other, he cursed someone’s fan as “sb”, making it difficult to realize what kind of attitude he was really endorsing. Even being bipolar didn’t play out like this.

The prominent fan of Ah Ya who mentioned Chen Yi in her post was called Love Ya Ya2 and she almost instantly replied to Chen Yi, bringing an interrogative tone to her message.

[ We don’t have the intention to cause a fight, so may we ask, what did you want to express when you replied with that? ]

Chen Yi had just logged on and didn’t have a reason to not reply, and so this time he even added six more english letters, just to be very nice and explain.

[ you are sb ]

What this kind of meaning gets translated as, well, everyone should understand, right?

Ah Ya’s fans immediately blew up to the point where they could even reach the sky. Those who were more impulsive went down the list of swears and applied them all from the first generation of his ancestors to his current generation. Some fans who still had a bit of a brain on their heads were frantically trying to maintain their idol’s innocent image, and those who were in it for the drama were having the time of their lives. 

With the shitty attitude of Ah Ya’s fans, if you’re going to publish a post, then publish the post. If you’re going to pretend to be an innocent bitch, then pretend to be innocent. What kind of mind do they have to mention Chen Yi? Do they truly think they run the world?

This action was no different than rubbing Ah Ya’s face into the ground and then stomping on it a few times. And so half an hour later, she immediately @ Chen Yi on her post.

@AH YA: First I must apologize to you. No one had thought that what happened today could have happened, and no one would have wanted it to happen. My fans are just overly concerned for me, and hence we have arrived at this misunderstanding. Ya Ya has no malignance, and if there was anything that went over the line, I apologize for her. She is very young, and a very young girl at that. She was just crying to me as she asked if there was anything she had done wrong, and my heart aches for her and for the loss of her youthful naivety. I hope everyone can lend a bit of their patience and tolerance, and have it in their hearts to be a little more generous.

Who that last sentence was directed to, everyone knew in their hearts. Some passersby who did not know the truth were swept up and redirected again, even bringing up Chen Yi’s terrible attitude to Li Su Li in the variety show, pointing at him for having no gentlemanly manners.

There were some netizens who could not see eye to eye with this kind of “innocent” act of Ah Ya and they battled back against those netizens. The situation then started turning into a big mess again, but at this time, those not involved in the beginning could not top the original people involved, no matter how many words they spouted. And so before these millions of eyes, Chen Yi finally logged back on and this time, sent these words:

[ Everyone’s equal ]

He could use even more sharply written words to make Ah Ya lose face, but there were no better words than those to mock her back.

Age, sex and status, these were never reasons for her to unconcernedly smush poo into other people’s necks. Because Chen Yi will break her leg before she can even jump on him to do so.

Three minutes later, Ah Ya deleted her post.

Chen Xiao Meng was just making dinner, and she had bought some seafood, hoping to boil some soup to buff up Chen Yi and make up for any lacking nutrition he had not been getting. She washed off all the grime from the raw ingredients, and then without any logic or following any recipes, she threw them all into the pot, not even taking off the shells, creating clangs and clanks as they went down.

Chen Yi blocked Zhou Ming and then turned off his phone. He crossed his arms, watching Chen Xiao Meng for a while from a distance away and then finally couldn’t keep himself from saying, 

“…… are you making a witch’s brew?”

The heavens could act as his witness as he really had no bad thoughts towards his sister in saying that.

Chen Xiao Meng paused in her movements and lifted her head to look at him, 

“I said today that I would make seafood soup, to supplement whatever vitamins and minerals you are lacking. These are all really beneficial and healthy. Brother, you can’t even cook, so don’t give out random opinions so freely.”

Chen Yi thought in his heart, you sure know how to cook, but how could it be described as the art of cooking? Compared to Fu Xiu Nian, her food was absolutely disgusting.

The screen was at the part where they were catching fish and Chen Yi was lazily crouching by the banks. Nonchalantly mocking Fu Xiu Nian, with a stoic expression which, even through the monitor, was displaying that very dominant aura. There were a few netizens who saw him for the first time being successfully snatched by their hearts, and the screen was full of [awsl].3

[ Sisters!! Let me help you, watch from episode 6! Fuck it’s so funny hahaha!! ]

[ Chen Yi’s mouth is so poisonous even now. What should I do if I’ve fallen for him ]

The moment this comment popped up, the entire screen filled with agreement. But there were still no less in anti-fans and their hate comments. But there was also another group, one who was interested in other things such as this particular comment that flew by within the crowd:

[ Don’t you think that there’s such a CP feeling between Fu Xiu Nian and Chen Yi? Chen Yi’s always scolding Fu Xiu Nian, but he still goes and helps him catch fish for his portion ]

[ I’ve already thought about the CP name, Billion Year ]

The moment Fu Xiu Nian saw that comment, for some reason his heart constricted and he unconsciously turned to look at Chen Yi. But the other was just popping open a bag of chips with his head lowered and so he probably didn’t see it. There was a moment where he couldn’t say if that was a relief or a disappointment.

Sometimes being in the situation, as the people involved, you can be muddled and blinded and those on the outside had the most clear vision. Perhaps there wouldn’t be much feelings from those involved, but with the events happening as they were, more and more people started shipping the CP, so much more that others could not ignore them.

[ I found that every time Chen Yi roasts Li Su Li, it’s mostly because of Fu Xiu Nian. Weak gentle shou X prickly pear with a poisonous mouth gong. I’m shipping Billion Year!! ]

[ Hu hu hu, there’s so many things to munch on. Fu Xiu Nian’s so weak in front of Chen Yi, doing whatever he’s told ]

[ A good wife and motherly shou. This fan cannot take it anymore! I want to push him down ahhhhhh! ]

When these comments were building up and up, Fu Xiu Nian thought the comments on the screen must be turned off. He was so nervous and anxious that his hands were breaking out in a cold sweat. He blindly tried to find his phone on the couch and noisily opened……

Chen Yi didn’t even turn his head and quietly said in the dark, 

“The phone you just took is mine.”

Fu Xiu Nian paused and realized only then that the phone size was not right. He clumsily and quickly put it back, 

“Sorry, I grabbed the wrong one.”

Chen Yi asked, 

“Do you have ADHD? This is a show you filmed with your idol. Should you not be a bit more serious in watching this? You keep fiddling around like this and I’ll become suspicious that you are really a fake fan.”

Fu Xiu Nian didn’t dare to move then and tried his hardest to ignore those comments on screen, being more serious than the time he was a student listening to his teacher in school.

Notes:

*1 (A) Billion Year: The CP name that as you read later on means the fandom’s name for the CP, taking the last characters of Chen Yi’s name and Fu Xiu Nian’s name: Yi Nian, which means a billion year.

*2 Love Ya Ya: The play on these words is on the Ya of Ah Ya where the two Yas in the account name have a very different meaning (taking on the sound but using different characters this one is like the sound of “oh” or “ah” that goes at the end of a sentence spoken/orally and the other’s (Ah Ya) is part of a name, (or if used by itself/in conjunction with another specific character is more known as brother-in-law). And so it is as if the fan’s account is yelling Love ahhhh ahhh kind of thing, versus the actual name of the celebrity Ah Ya.

*3 awsl: basically means like “ded”/ I’m dying.
