The Devoted Second Male Lead Decided to Favor Someone Else Chapter 43.3

Idol, You're Acting OOC – Intimacy is Prohibited in the Group (9)

“Fan-ge?” Lu Shijin was stunned. “Why are you here? It's muddy, don't you think it's dirty?”

“Why don't you have an umbrella?” Xu Yifan asked.

Lu Shijin straightened up and smiled. “I came to pick vegetables, how would I have a hand to spare for an umbrella?”

“I can help you hold the umbrella.”

Lu Shijin: . . . Why do I feel so warm and fuzzy?

Lu Shijin felt his cheeks heat and bent back down to continue picking, “Then I'll have to thank Fan-ge.”

“No need, I have something I need to remind you of.”

Lu Shijin looked up, “What?”

Xu Yifan coldly glanced at him, then moved his gaze away.

“He Yang doesn't like men, so you should get rid of those thoughts.”

Lu Shijin was very confused, and also a bit offended.

“I told you that the company doesn't allow dating.” Xu Yifan said coldly, “And especially not between group members.”

Lu Shijin straightened again and smiled helplessly. “How did you see that I have thoughts I shouldn't be having towards He Yang?”

“With my eyes.”

“. . . You're mistaken.”

Xu Yifan murmured, “That would be best.” But he clearly didn't believe him.

Lu Shijin had just felt a bit grateful towards Xu Yifan for holding an umbrella for him, but it completely disappeared. Instead, he only felt the anger and frustration that came from having someone to seem to see through you.

“So you warned me because you were afraid that I have something going on with He Yang?” Lu Shijin curled his lips into a smirk, “I have a question. Why do you think that I like men? As far as I know, homosexuals tend to be more sensitive towards these things. So, Fan-ge, could you also be homosexual?”

“None of your business.”

“None of my business?” Lu Shijin laughed, “If it's none of my business, then why did you suggest for us to be in a CP? Oh great idol Xu, aren't you afraid that I'd be so in the act that I'd get some thoughts for you?”

Xu Yifan calmly spun the umbrella in his hand, “Nope, I know that I'll follow the company's rules and wouldn't date. Doing this will also allow me to supervise you.”

Lu Shijin wanted to mock him not to say things too early.

“Dating as an idol is a self-destructive path.” Xu Yifan said calmly, “Everyone worked hard to debut, so don't ruin the entire group just for yourself.”

Lu Shijin coldly interrupted him. “Thanks for caring, but you really did think too much. I don't want to date. Not before, not now, and not in the future.”

Xu Yifan frowned slightly, but soon returned to his expressionless face, “That would be for the best.”

Lu Shijin was too lazy to continue talking with Xu Yifan, so he went back to picking vegetables.

He deliberately shook a stalk of lettuce that he just pulled out, flicking some mud onto Xu Yifan's pants.

Lu Shijin pretended that that was an accident and apologized fakely. “Oh, sorry, I dirtied your pants.”

Xu Yifan could obviously tell that he did it on purpose and frowned, but didn't do anything else.

They didn't realize that the image of one person bent over, picking vegetables, and another helping him hold an umbrella up, was captured by a cameraman some distance away.

The audience had no idea that they were arguing in the field and thought it was more sugar for them, so the comments were full of excited screams.

[He's so sweet to Jinjin! Giving an umbrella in the rain, it's too sweet!]

[The scene is so beautiful I don't dare look at it, YiLu with You is actually real!!!]

[Ahhhhhh, sweeeeeeet!]

[I don't care, I'm sure this is a real CP! I've brought the Civil Affairs Bureau over, please marry right now!]

[Hardworking husband whose husband helps him block the rain lol]

“Okay, I'm done. Let's go back.”

After Lu Shijin finally finished, Xu Yifan's pants were covered in mud. It was a bit surprising that someone who cared so much about cleanliness could endure for that long.

Of course, Xu Yifan's expression was very ugly, so upon hearing Lu Shijin say that he was done, he immediately stuffed the umbrella into Lu Shijin's hands and left, seeming like he couldn't bear to stay there for another second.

“Wait.” Lu Shijin called out.

Xu Yifan paused, but didn't turn around.

“Didn't you offer to be a CP?” Lu Shijing smiled, “I agree.”

Xu Yifan turned around to stare at him doubtfully.

Lu Shijin continued smiling. “Since Fan-ge is so worried about me, then I should be grateful and listen, right?”

Xu Yifan's eyebrow twitched, feeling like there was something off with Lu Shijin's smile.

Lu Shijin shook his finger, grinning. “You can't regret this.”

That was how they agreed to be a CP.

On the way back, Xu Yifan continued holding the umbrella up as Lu Shijin tightly grabbed his arm. They were completely stuck together, seeming very close.

As they walked, they were also talking and laughing. Of course, most of it was Lu Shijin talking excitedly and Xu Yifan had very little reaction other than a couple hums.

[Looking at how lovey dovey these two are, I can't help but smile like some auntie]

[Perfect! Perfect! I've been smiling the entire time!]

[This stream is seriously my happy place, I'm going to live here!]

[Warning! Warning! Please bring your own insulin when you enter the stream!]

They walked in the fields for a while. Then, as soon as they got back, the clean freak Xu Yifan immediately grabbed a change of clothes and went to the bathroom. Since Lu Shijin also got rained on, his clothes were wet, so he went to change as well.

After changing, Lu Shijin grabbed his phone and saw that he had a bunch of notifications from WeChat, all from Tao Qinghong.

Tao Qinghong: [Shijin-ge! Someone as aloof as Fanfan actually held an umbrella for you!]

Tao Qinghong: [Wahhh, I'm so jealous, Fanfan's warmth only belongs to you~]

Tao Qinghong: [I have more material to edit hahaha. Because of editing that CP video, my Weibo fans have expanded exponentially!]

Tao Qinghong: [Ge, tell me, are you and Fanfan in an official CP? ]

Lu Shijin: [I'll tell you if you lose weight.]

Tao Qinghong: [I will! Definitely! For you two to be in a CP, I'll willingly lose 50 pounds!]

Lu Shijin: [Then you can start now.]

Tao Qinghong: [!!! Then, one last question! Will it ever be real?]

Lu Shijin: [:)]

Real? What a joke.
