The Devoted Second Male Lead Decided To Favor Someone Else
/ The Devoted Second Male Lead Decided to Favor Someone Else Chapter 43.1
Idol, You're Acting OOC – Intimacy is Prohibited in the Group (7)
It took a long time for Lu Shijin to realize what Tao Qinghong meant.
Seeing that Lu Shijin hadn't responded after a long time, Tao Qinghong figured that he was busy filming so he didn't continue bothering him.
After a while, Lu Shijin figured out the main point in Tao Qinghong's words.
He just had to ignore the stuff in the beginning, which he kind of understood but not really. The 'don't even want to eat anything' part was the most important!
If he doesn't want to eat, then he'll naturally lose weight. After that, Xu Yifan would notice him and Lu Shijin would complete his task!
So as long as Tao Qinghong didn't eat much, he would already be done with half of his task!
Why did he say that he didn't want to eat?
Lu Shijin hurriedly read over the messages Tao Qinghong sent again.
It was because of seeing scenes with him and Xu Yifan . . .
Lu Shijin was confused.
Although he was originally a reporter, he reported on politics and had no idea how the entertainment side worked.
So it was hard for him to understand Tao Qinghong's thoughts.
Didn't Tao Qinghong like Xu Yifan?
Even just ignoring the fact that he had clearly never spread sugar with Xu Yifan, shouldn't liking someone mean you wanted to monopolize them?
Why would you feel happy about that person being with someone else?
“Host, I have an idea. The priority right now is to make Tao Qinghong lose weight, right?” 711 eagerly said.
“Of course, it's obvious.”
“Then since he said that having sugar between you and Xu Yifan could make him forget about food, why don't you try?”
“Try what?”
“Being a CP with Xu Yifan.”
“. . . Do you think that's possible?”
“Why wouldn't it be? You should be confident in yourself! You've only been here for a couple days and have already become like the nation's younger brother, it shows how charismatic you are! And I think Xu Yifan treats you differently. Why don't you go ask him? What if he agrees?”
Lu Shijin sneered, “Of course I'm confident in myself, I just don't want to do it.”
“Why?”
“I don't want to be in a CP with someone I don't like. And plus, He Yang might be Payne. How could I get close to another man in front of his face?”
“I didn't expect you to be so loyal,” 711 muttered.
“What did you say?”
“Nothing, I just want to say that being in CPs is part of your job. You can just treat it as acting, you don't have to actually like Xu Yifan.”
“That still won't work. He probably doesn't like me and I don't like him either, so it will be really fake.”
“Then what about your task?”
“There has to be another way. I know, it must be because I've been too active lately, which caused his feelings to 'change.' That's why, I'll just keep a low profile for a bit and once all the attention on me dies down, he will hopefully lose interest in me.”
Feeling that they should be done with the dare, Lu Shijin started heading back.
It was soon noon and the end of their morning of picking radishes.
After counting, they picked just over three hundred radishes. Since one radish was worth 40 cents, they earned 120 yuan.
Returning to their house, it was time for lunch.
Everyone felt that earning money was very difficult, and didn't dare spend large amounts of money arbitrarily.
Lu Shijin made simple fried rice with two mainly-vegetarian dishes for lunch.
There was time to rest after lunch. Everyone went upstairs to wash up and rest.
At 2:00 PM, Lu Shijin was woken by his alarm. Sitting up, he yawned and looked to the side to see that Xu Yifan's bed was empty.
He stopped his alarm and saw that he had a couple messages. Opening up WeChat, he saw that they were from Tao Qinghong.
Tao Qinghong: [Shijin-ge, you and Fanfan have a CP supertopic! It's called “YiLu with You” and already has over 100 thousand followers!]
Tao Qinghong: [Weibo Link<#YiLu with You# Let's eat sugar together!>]
Tao Qinghong: [I used my entire lunch to edit a video of you and Fanfan, and it already has tens of thousands of views!]
Tao Qinghong: [
Tao Qinghong: [Ge, look
Tao Qinghong: [Ge, are you resting? If you are, then I'll stop bothering you. I'm going to make some food, I was so busy editing I didn't have time to eat. I'm starving
After reading the string of messages, Lu Shijin blinked.
Heh, how unusual.
There's actually something that takes priority over eating, making him work tirelessly without good.
If the 'something' wasn't making CP fan videos of him and Xu Yifan, Lu Shijin would be very happy.
Lu Shijin hesistated and opened the link Tao Qinghong sent him in apprehension.
The video seemed a bit rough around the edges, the transitions awkward. It was clear that Tao Qinghong was a novice at video editing.
But for the CP fans, anyone who provided them with sugar was great. What's more, since their CP was only created a couple days ago, the sugar available was already small, which is why there was so much attention on this poor-quality editing.
The video mostly used footage of him and Xu Yifan from the stream.
Because before the stream, they had minimal interactions outside of just being from the same variety show.
And they weren't even in the same subgroup back then, so they had virtually no interactions.
There was very little material, so the video was naturally short. Despite this, the comments and shares were at thousands, and a big verified blogger had shared it.
Most of the comments were fans who had just finished watching the show and were very energetic.
But Lu Shijin didn't understand most of their comments.
“What does pldd and plgg mean?”
“. . . myss?”
“Ageless beauty.”
“ptjj?”
“The name for you and Xu Yifan's CP fans, 'grape sisters.'”
“. . . Why are they called grape sisters???”
“Because you fed Xu Yifan the grape before.”
Lu Shijin was speechless, “. . . What's wrong with these people? Can they not type a bit more and make it into actual Chinese characters? Can they not touch their keyboards?”
“nsdd, but being a fan includes this kind of culture.”
Lu Shijin had been completely expressionless during this, not feeling at all glad. He even wanted to complain about how they thought he was good with Xu Yifan. They were clearly not.
“Is it good?”
A cool voice sounded from behind him. Lu Shijin turned to see Xu Yifan and was so startled he almost dropped his phone.
“F- Fan-ge!” Lu Shijin patted his chest in shock, “Can you not suddenly pop up from behind me? You're going to scare me to death some day!”
Xu Yifan's expression didn't change, “I wasn't trying to scare you. You were just so engrossed in your video that you didn't notice my entry.”
“Oh.” Lu Shijin hid his phone behind him and pretended that he was doing nothing, “Then, is the director calling for us to gather downstairs?”
“There's no hurry. The director said that we can rest until three.” Xu Yifan sat on his bed and opened up his laptop.
