Do I like it or not?

Shan Yatong looked out the car window. “I don’t know. Perhaps I have no feelings.” g6UOlE

Hearing this kind of response, Luo Yanqian wasn’t sure if he felt disappointment or something else. He drove silently without another word.

The car paused at the traffic lights. Shan Yatong listened to the deeply emotional song permeating the inside of the car. “You like his songs?”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

The street lights changed. Luo Yanqian started the car, moving slowly. He stared ahead. “I do.”

Sensing his ambiguity, Shan Yatong was not interested in digging into other people’s affairs. The atmosphere in the car became quiet again. 7yXved

As the car drove into the neighborhood, Shan Yatong pointed out where Luo Yanqian could stop. After parking the car, he took off his gloves. “You’re not going to invite me in for a cup of tea?”

Shan Yatong laughed. He opened the door and got out of the car. Bending down, he said, “If you don’t mind, come on in.”

Luo Yanqian quirked an eyebrow. He closed the door and followed Shan Yatong, walking into the elevator.

“You live on the 9th floor?” Luo Yanqian saw the number pressed by Shan Yatong. He crossed his arms over his chest. “That’s a good number.”

“Is it?” Shan Yatong withdrew his hand and leaned against the wall of the elevator. “It doesn’t feel like much.”

Luo Yanqian carefully sized up the person beside him. He had flax-colored hair and was not dressed up as punk. On the contrary, he looked clean and handsome. Although he was not the best looking in this circle, he was attractive enough to be popular. Just why was he so severely defeated by Yuan Wen?

When the elevator door opened, Shan Yatong gestured for Luo Yanqian to go ahead. After Luo Yanqian exited, he followed. “Turn right, the first door is my home.”

Luo Yanqian held his own arm, asking. “Am I not waiting for you to open the door?” 6JR1m

Shan Yatong went up to his door, taking out his key. After opening it, he put the key on the cabinet next to the entrance. He changed his shoes, and threw a pair of slippers to Luo Yanqian. “Change your shoes and have a seat wherever.”

Luo Yanqian changed his shoes and walked into the room, only to find that Shan Yatong’s home was not that big. He lived in a small apartment with two bedrooms and one living room. There were no photos of himself on the wall. For an artist, it was somewhat unusual.

He seldom saw artists living in homes that lacked photos of themselves. But Shan Yatong surprised him by hanging a large “Fu” and a clock on the wall and nothing else. DEm5Rv

Shan Yatong?

The person standing on the stage singing was Shan Yatong, with slightly lowered eyes and a soulful singing voice. There was no trace of lip-synching. The rumors in the entertainment circle were indeed not very credible. 0S7sFW

Shan Yatong brought a glass of water to Luo Yanqian, and saw that he was watching the show he participated in. He put the glass of water down in front of him and joined him, sitting on one side of the sofa. “What’s so interesting about this program.”

“Your performance is very good,” Luo Yanqian said seriously.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Shan Yatong laughed. Glancing at the clock on the wall, it was already 2 o’clock in the afternoon. He stood up. “Have you had lunch yet?”

“No.” Luo Yanqian took out his mobile phone, “Let’s order takeout.” GftiBE

“Do you want gossip to spread tomorrow about a current popular star and a small star hanging out?” Shan Yatong said, looking at him. “Sit tight, we’ll eat in a bit.”

Luo Yanqian stood up and followed after him curiously. “Are you planning to cook by yourself?”

“Yeah.” Shan Yatong opened the refrigerator. There were enough ingredients to make food for two. In his previous life, he had starred in a movie about cooking and learnt some of the most basic dishes. Cooking was not difficult to begin with.

Luo Yanqian constantly felt that Shan Yatong’s attitude towards him was not like how a small star would usually treat a big star. Right now, it even felt like he was the newcomer, and that Shan Yatong was the big star who had already experienced the ups and downs of the entertainment industry. mBlHLj

The door to the small kitchen was closed. While watching TV, Luo Yanqian kept looking towards the kitchen. He couldn’t help but wonder, what kind of meal would Shan Yatong make?

Changing the channel, it was now showing the broadcast of the awards ceremony. After watching for a while, he was a little bored. As he was about to turn off the TV, he heard the host’s excited voice.

“It’s Emperor Xiao coming over to us right now, Qishen. And coming over along with him is…” The host’s voice hesitated slightly. “It’s the handsome and beautiful young man, Shan Yatong. What a sight to behold, having two beautiful men walk together.”

Luo Yanqian was surprised by the scene of the two walking together side by side. Xiao Qishen greeted the fans on both sides of the red carpet with a smile, while Shan Yatong walked beside him with a faint smile on his face. It was a slightly shy smile, though not overly reserved. Rather, it gave a somewhat pure feeling. pfzdN4

The teenager on screen, and the person making lunch in the kitchen at the moment, were they really the same person?

The kitchen door opened. Shan Yatong walked out in an apron. He carried two small dishes in his hand, laying them on the dining table next to him. Taking off his apron, he asked, “Are you still watching TV?” He found it surprising that someone from the entertainment industry still liked to watch TV.

Luo Yanqian turned off the TV. he stood up and walked to the dining table. He glanced at the decent looking dishes. “You really do know how to cook?”

Turning to the cupboard, he took out chopsticks. He looked at Luo Yanqian. “You should wash your hands first.” QVpIdj

Annoyed, Luo Yanqian went to the kitchen to wash his hands. It seemed like this guy’s shy appearance was indeed just a facade.

After drying his hands at the dryer, Luo Yanqian sat down at the dinner table. “I can eat now, right?”

Shan Yatong handed him a pair of chopsticks, and set a bowl of rice in front of him. He was very satisfied with Luo Yanqian’s cooperation.

Seeing Shan Yatong’s lack of response, Luo Yanqian raised his eyebrows. “Hey, I’m talking to you.” K1G7zr

Shan Yatong looked up at Luo Yanqian’s childish behavior. “I didn’t say you couldn’t.”

“This guy really isn’t cute.” Luo Yanqian held his rice bowl and served himself from the other dishes on the table with his two chopsticks. The flavour was good, which he felt was a little unexpected.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Shan Yatong ignored him. He was half skeptical about Luo Yanqian’s sudden friendliness, yet he didn’t know what he meant. It was best to have an impersonal attitude.

The meal was eaten in heavy silence. Midway, Luo Yanqian glanced at Shan Yatong who was quietly eating. “Are you very familiar with Xiao Qishen? Cdbsuy

“Emperor Xiao?” Shan Yatong paused in the middle of placing more food into his bowl. “I’m not that familiar with him.” Putting the food into the bowl, he asked lightly. “Are you interested in him?”

“No, I was just asking.” Luo Yanqian suddenly felt that he couldn’t understand the young man in front of him. He was obviously about the same age as him. Why did he feel like this person subconsciously made him feel like he should listen and obey.

Or was this just his own misconception?

“Are you and Yuan Wen really going solo?” After asking this, Luo Yanqian felt that he had said something wrong. He should not be asking this kind of question. L0HJCz

Shan Yatong was slightly surprised. Seeing the vexed look on Luo Yanqian’s face, understanding came over him. Presumably, the other party was also upset about his own question. “This is the company’s decision. I don’t really have any opinions either way.”

Luo Yanqian guessed at Shan Yatong’s position in Flying Entertainment before, and thought for a while. “Tonight I will be participating in a TV program. The program director asked me to invite a friend from the circle as a partner. How about going with me?”

Shan Yatong put down his chopsticks. “Okay, thank you.”

He didn’t ask about anything else and naturally wouldn’t ask why. But he definitely knew one thing: people in this circle do not do things without reason. H9Crdo

After dinner, he cleared the dishes and chopsticks. Shan Yatong leaned on the sofa and flipped through a book, ignoring Luo Yanqian who was playing a game on the other side.

Luo Yanqian looked at the GAME OVER on the screen. Sighing, he turned to look at Shan Yatong, who was quietly sitting on the sofa with a book in one hand and a tea cup in the other. At that moment, he was a little dazed. This almost seemed like a scene from the past that was captured by a reporter’s sneak shot of that person’s profile. At that time, he was also sitting on the balcony, so tranquil that it was beautiful.

However, he knew that the person in front of him was only Shan Yatong. A Shan Yatong who occasionally behaved like that person.

After all, that person was already dead. wOYCGA

How many people were like himself and still remembered him?

Translator's Note

This seems to be purposely written in a vague way. It could be referencing that the song has no feeling, or Shan Yatong himself doesn’t have any feelings. Most likely the latter, probably referencing rumours from earlier chapters about our previous emperor’s lack of emotions.
