Once on the plane, Bai Xi and his two colleagues had separate seats. He was seated in the first row, while the second row was for the two ladies.
The three quickly found their respective seats. The two girls chatted in the back while Bai Xi messaged Qi Xun an update, informing the other that he had boarded the plane.
Although he said he did not need it, he could just take a taxi or have Qi Xun’s driver pick him up, Qi Xun insisted on picking him up from the airport.
Bai Xi unknowingly smiled at the thought.
He chatted with Qi Xun here and there before a man sat down in the empty seat beside him, and Bai Xi did not even look up until he heard his name called with joy.
“Bai Xi, what a coincidence to meet you again.”
Bai Xi raised his head from his phone and was surprised to see Su Ye sitting beside him. The film emperor was dressed in casual clothes, disguised with his mask and sunglasses, showing only a section of the bridge of his nose. There were not many people in the first class anyway, so he was not as afraid to be recognized.
It had been a while since he last met Su Ye at the vet.
Although the two of them added each other on WeChat, Bai Xi did not bother the actor, considering the busy man’s particular profession and identity, only liking Su Ye’s Moments diligently.
But speaking of which, he and Su Ye were brought together by fate pretty frequently. It was the second time they had encountered each other.
“Coincidence indeed, Mr. Su.” Bai Xi replied with a smile. When he looked around, sure enough, he saw Su Ye’s assistant and manager sitting beside and behind them. The two parties took the entire first class. They were all acquaintances. “Did you just finish work and are you on your way home?”
“That is right. I just auditioned for a role.” Su Ye removed his sunglasses and grinned at Bai Xi. “This was supposed to be my manager’s spot, but I switched with her. I hope you don’t mind.”
Bai Xi quickly shook his head. “Of course, I don’t mind.”
While he was talking to Su Ye, his mobile phone vibrated again. He glanced at it. It was Qi Xun wishing him a safe flight, thinking he had already taken off from the long silence.
[Is your plane taking off? Have a safe flight and remember to message me when you arrive.]
Bai Xi replied quickly. [Not yet, but soon. You will never guess who I met on the plane.]
Qi Xun got into the car and was on his way to the airport.
He offhandedly typed. [Who?]
[Su Ye!]
[I keep running into the male god, it must be fate!]
[Su Ye is on his way home from work. It is a shame that we did not meet sooner, but this is still a pleasant surprise.]
[Oh, we can talk later. The flight attendant asked us to turn off our phones. See you soon, mwah.]
Then Bai Xi went offline.
Qi Xun saw the last few lines on his phone, particularly Su Ye’s name, and his face instantly darkened.
Not even the other’s ‘mwah’ could calm him down.
Four big words hovered in his mind—murder demands vengeance.
.
Bai Xi obediently set his phone to airplane mode.
Su Ye was very quiet when Bai Xi was chatting with Qi Xun. When he saw the other man put down his phone, he asked quietly, “Was that your boyfriend?”
Bai Xi brushed his face with his finger in slight embarrassment. “Yes, you saw him last time at the vet.”
Su Ye’s smile faded a bit.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
“Yes, he made quite an impression.”

Su Ye also noticed the ring around Bai Xi’s ring finger, dazzling even in the dim cabin.
It was empty the last time they met.
He closed his eyes. After the plane was stable, he asked as if everything was fine, “I wanted to ask earlier, but are you getting married?”
He asked this question very calmly.
At first, Bai Xi was caught off guard before he immediately beamed. “Yes, we just got engaged and we are still arranging the wedding.”
Su Ye stayed silent for a long time before asking another question, “Is he the one you mentioned you had a crush on? On the Weibo you used during your college years?”
As he watched Bai Xi’s expression turn to surprise, Su Ye smiled and explained, “I said it before, I am your fan. I have been following your Weibo. In addition to posting your doodles, you also post pieces of your daily life as well as your personal life, or if something is on your mind. You mentioned having a crush on him, and he was perfect in every way except returning your feelings. ”
Bai Xi did not expect Su Ye to remember this.
So this was the type of fan his god was, not half-hearted at all.
On Weibo which he forgot his password to, in addition to drawing comic strips of Su Ye and fanboying over the actor, the rest of the blog functioned like a diary. He could not remember how many embarrassing and fragmented things he said.
Now someone was pulling the skeleton out of his closet and showing it to his face, and it was his idol on top of that. Bai Xi had only one thought: find a hole in the ground to hide in.
But he nodded honestly.
“Yes, that’s him,” Bai Xi confirmed. He was both ashamed and proud of this. “I have succeeded in finding love with my crush.”
He was still a hard worker and did not let down his small fan club, which consisted of Su Ye.
Su Ye lowered his head and looked at him.
In this dimmed cabin, Bai Xi smiled as sweet as honey, as if the person he was marrying was the luckiest man.
In the end, Su Ye chuckled. “Congratulations.”
Like one of the most generous and fitting idols, he added, “Your ring is very beautiful.”
Bai Xi chirped, “Thank you.”
But what was in Su Ye’s mind when looking at the other man was completely different. The ring is passable. But I can buy as many as you want if that is what you like.
You are the beautiful one here.
That man is very lucky to be married to you.
.
During the next few hours of the flight, Bai Xi and Su Ye occasionally chatted in a low voice. In the second half of the flight, Bai Xi could no longer keep his eyes open and fell asleep.
Su Ye watched him silently for a while before gently covering the sleeping man with a blanket.
His manager beside them was shocked with raised eyebrows.
She had been working under Su Ye in recent years and knew what kind of low virtues her employer had. When did Su Ye start covering people with blankets!
She could not resist the urge to send a message to Su Ye through her phone. Their group purchased the inflight wifi in advance with the original intent of using it for work, but now it was used for gossip.
Su Ye glanced at her immediately.
His manager asked him sternly, but he knew she was concerned. [I knew something was wrong the moment you treated the young editor differently the last time. You even traded your personal WeChat with him. Do not tell me you fell for him?]
Su Ye replied: [If I say yes, what are you going to do?]
His manager choked.
She really could not do much, it seemed.
Su Ye debuted for so many years. Other than the occasional odd-ball behavior, he was diligent in his career. She had made quite a profit working for Su Ye.
But she could not control the man at all!
What was more, Su Ye was not an idol, he was a genuine movie actor who won the best actor several times. It was not an unforgivable crime if he wanted to start a relationship.
As she had an internal struggle that showed in her constantly changing expression, there was a new message from Su Ye.
[You do not have to worry. I will not do anything, so this will not impact your job.]
She was stunned.
[Why? Why did you suddenly find your conscience?] She had to ask.
This was unbelievable. When has Su Ye become so compassionate towards his employees?
Su Ye read the message and chuckled at himself.
Because Bai Xi does not like him that way at all, of course.
Finding true love from one’s crush could come true, but the premise was that the secret admirer must move the target’s heart first.
But he did not reply to his manager and left her driven to madness by her thoughts as he picked out a random book to read. It might appear he was killing time, but in fact, he was not reading a single word at all.
.
The way he developed feelings for Bai Xi was as romantic as how it was in the novels.
When he followed Bai Xi’s Weibo, he was at his lowest. He was tired of acting and almost retired from the entertainment circle. To cheer him up, his manager tried hard to show him how many supportive fans he had.
To stop his manager’s nagging, he followed random fans’ Weibo on his alt account. One of those accounts was Bai Xi.
Bai Xi was not the most well-known fan in Su Ye’s fan group, nor was his artistic style the best, but he chatted away about other things on his Weibo.
As if he were keeping a diary—
He blew up the kitchen while helping to cook, but he still feels that he was gifted at cooking.
He sneaked out to drink before the exam, and took the exam the next day with a hangover, but still passed.
He climbed the mountain with friends but was too tired to move halfway there.
He wanted to get a Pomeranian puppy, so he browsed for puppies on Weibo during his free time and screamed about how cute the adorable pups were.
…
Su Ye unknowingly unfollowed the others, leaving only Bai Xi.
Little by little, he formed a picture of the man in his head. Bai Xi should be very cute, have a kind heart, raised in a decent family, study at S University, suck at cooking, and like small animals.
But he did not know what the man looked like.
Bai Xi had never posted a front picture of his face, there was only a single profile picture.
When Bai Xi graduated, he stopped updating Weibo.
Everything came to an abrupt end.
And it was only then that he realized that he had also fallen in love unconsciously.
Through the network, he peeped into a person’s life in secret, fell in love with this person, and was separated from this person in the vast network.
Now they have finally reunited.
It was like the trope that all romance movies have.
But when they met again, Bai Xi already had someone else by his side.
It was the man Bai Xi had a crush on.
Now Bai Xi got his wish, while he lost his love.
Su Ye thought that the world was governed by the conservation of balance.
Some secret admirers’ love blossoms and bears fruit, while some secret admirers’ love fizzles out.
He was the latter one, the unlucky secret admirer.
.
Bai Xi slept until the plane landed and only woke up from the jerk.
He felt around the corner of his mouth and was relieved that he did not drool during his sleep in front of his male god.
No matter how kind his male god was, he still needed to look good.
Because of Su Ye, the two parties chose to get off the plane last. Bai Xi’s young assistant and colleague held back the urge the whole way and now was finally the chance to ask for an autograph. They were so excited that they were almost faint.
Afterward, they went to get their suitcases.
Because Su Ye’s itinerary was kept low-key and the plane tickets were bought at the last minute, no crazy fans were waiting at the airports. The actor changed to a different appearance before they safely left the airport.
Bai Xi saw Qi Xun as soon as he approached the gate.
They have not seen each other physically for eleven days.
Qi Xun was standing there straight and tall, like a beam of light was falling on him.
At this moment, Bai Xi tossed everyone out of his mind. Male god? What male god? Colleagues? Never heard of them!
He hurried to bid farewell, “I will be heading out first. My boyfriend is here to pick me up. See you next time.”
Then he rushed out of the gate.
.
Behind him, Su Ye watched his departing back.
There was a movie he watched a long time ago. At the end of the movie, the female lead says to the male lead,
I will come running if I see you.
He watched as Bai Xi ran away and into Qi Xun’s arms.
The moment Qi Xun saw Bai Xi, the cold expression on his face melted like snow and ice as his whole being became softer.
He firmly caught Bai Xi and then lowered his head to kiss Bai Xi on the cheek.
In this crowded airport, travelers were coming and going in a hurry.
They embraced and could only see each other in their eyes,
It was like it was straight out of a romance movie that has the most perfect ending.
The author has something to say:
Pine Nut Tea: Some secret admirer’s love blossoms and bears fruit, while some secret admirer’s love fizzles out. Bai Xi was the lucky one who got his happy ending even after he flopped. (Ps, I will come running if I see you was not created by me, it is from the Girl who Leapt Through Time.)
waah su ye >_<) hes so pitiful, but he seems like a sweet guy, knowing when to back away and let his love be happy. i hope he finds someone who can treat him well
I feel sad for Su Ye but I’m sure he’ll find a love that’s worth his love 😭 I’m so glad Qi Xun and Bai Xi are finally reunited, thank you for the chapter! 🥰
🥺🥺🥺
Thank you for the chapter ❤️
Ooooh, it’s romantic story, but I already full by another dog food, so I can’t start like that
Thank you for your translation 🤍🤍🤍
Omg it’s so bittersweet 😭
Suye seems like a good guy, I hope you will find your happiness soon.
Somehow suye and baixi chapters can be one great storyline on its own. I really hope later we can see happy ending for suye.
thanks for the chapter!
Thank You for the new chapter (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤
thanks for the chapter! now, I kind of hope for some kind of story with su ye!
Happy the main CP is reunited. Thanks for the chapter.
side cpshould be happy too
fufuuf
sadge , hope you find your love blooms in another place, Sir Su!
damn, it’s been a veeeery long time since I see someone mentioned that movie. Girl who Leapt through Time is an underrated old anime movie with interesting plot (literally about the title, about time leaping on repeat) that you should watch at least once in a lifetime guys you’ll never be disappointed! 😍
Aww~ no BX for SY D: Good luck in finding someone else SY!
The end of the chapter reminded me of the ending of the movie Love Actually xD
Thx for the ch (ㅅ˘ㅂ˘)
Omg my dad actually mentioned this novel. He recommended me to watch it, now I really feel like I should.
Do it, it has good music and its funny scenes and arkward ones. And of course, lots of cliché plots. Aaand at least one character you could/would want to throw out of the window… at least for me and a friend of mine, we have that urge every time we watch it xDD (And we’re both no fans of romance movies lol)
Wow, the author really create Su Ye just as a foil to show how Lucky the main couple are😭😭
I cried hard for Su Ye. I am weak against pure secret admirer backstory. Like Bai Xi, like Su Ye. I hope Su Ye also had his own pure secret admirer that he can turn towards and fall in love too. Maybe he is a Bai Xi (secret admirer) in the life story of him but a Qi Xun (object of crush) in the life story of someone other. He had to find them 🤧.
Awww I really feel bad about su ye 😿 in my headcannon, i hope zhao qingtong and su ye got to know each other and fell in love because that’s what most novels do 😅
Iam the person who’s secret admired love didn’t blossom I love a person for 7 years but never get a courage to tell him now he has a girlfriend iam happy for them but again iam not and iam still single cannot move on in relationship with someone else it seem I cannot love someone other then
Woah why don’t I remember that dialogue? And it’s one of my favourite movies too…! Welp! Time to go rewatch it 🏃♀️
He will be perfect for xixi but of course he is not the male lead here. What a pity.
Thanks ( >•_•<)
Aku kasihan melihat su ye….sini suye dengan ku aja 😁😍
‘now Bai Xi got his wish, while he lost his love’
Damn, that line . 🙃🙃
It took my third (or fourth) reread here to realize that Su Ye picked up a pomeranian puppy in the earlier chapters because that is what Bai Xi liked once upon a time.
