The Theory of QueerbaitingChapter 18

Bonus Chapter 1/2


You Xin returned home past eight o’clock, and he had yet to eat dinner. b1Zrl4

Originally, his work for the day only consisted of shooting for magazine pages, so it was possible to finish work early. But because a big shot before You Xin’s turn was late, and because of the long time spent picking out clothes, You Xin waited for three more hours for nothing.

Now at this point it was already too late to buy food and cook for himself, so he could only order a nearby takeaway to eat casually. You Xin sighed and took out his phone to open the delivery app, but there was no store he wanted to eat in.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

You Xin took a look at his phone and saw that Liu Yanhui was calling. Since they reconnected because of the program, they often chatted when they had nothing to do, and it wasn’t strange to call at this hour. You Xin immediately picked up the phone.

“Xiao Xin, have you eaten yet?” QJGdyM

“I haven’t yet, I just got home.”

“I knew you hadn’t eaten, it just so happens that I’m near your home, come out and let’s have a meal together~”

“Hey, how do you know I haven’t eaten!”

“Because I care about you, ah. Let’s eat at a Sichuan cuisine restaurant, this cold pot is particularly famous.”

“Eat eat eat! I’ve been wanting to eat skewers recently.” You Xin just posted a status update in his friends list the other night that he wanted to eat skewers, but he did not expect to be able to eat so soon. You Xin’s mood immediately improved, and at the same time he was very touched. Liu Yanhui was very attentive and considerate, a really rare good friend.

You Xin casually cleaned himself up and left. The restaurant was two streets away from where he lives. The neighborhood was downtown, and there weren’t many people eating at nine o’clock at night. The place didn’t have private rooms, but Liu Yanhui arrived first and found a more hidden location, and even the dishes were already ordered.

You Xin has long been hungry, so seeing the delicious food, he immediately couldn’t wait and began to eat wildly. When his stomach started to feel full, only then did he stop to drink a mouthful of water and spoke to Liu Yanhui.

“It’s so delicious, it feels like I’ve been saved!” You Xin wiped his oily mouth with a face full of satisfaction. 5IuDSd

Liu Yanhui laughed at his comical appearance, “Why are you still like a child, already satisfied with a good meal?”

“I am happy with what I have, otherwise I would have died of anger all day long.”

“Why, except for today’s magazine shoot, did someone give you a hard time? Are there people bullying you?”

Why not? He’d been oppressed by Duan Jiashu every day recently. In order to better sell CP, he was assigned with homework. In addition to watching all kinds of gay love films and TV works, Mr. Duan also asked him to watch “Actors’ Self-Cultivation”, and write notes for each section and hand them over to the other for correction. It was really a thorough implementation of scientific concepts. But this kind of thing was so nerve-wracking that You Xin was too embarrassed to tell others. He could only joke. C U9ij

“No no, I was just saying that in passing,” he said, taking a sip from his glass.

Liu Yanhui’s eyes darkened with disappointment, but he was also drinking water so You Xin did not see it.

“Then let’s not talk about this.” Liu Yanhui changed the subject, his face showed a little curiosity at the right time, “I recently heard a rumor from the “Wacky Family” program team, that you and Duan Jiashu… There is something going on…”

“Let?” Oemxlis, atf kjafg lc Tbe Wlc’r wbeat tjv jigfjvs ubcf vbkc, batfgklrf tf kbeiv tjnf tjv ab rqla la bea.

It seems that he has to go back and have a good talk with Duan laoshi about this problem. You Xin’s face showed an expression of pain. His tone was helpless, “How can I have anything with him? I’m a straight man. Duan Jiashu is a straight man among straight men. If Duan Jiashu bends, it’s probably because he wants to marry his reflection.”

Liu Yanhui didn’t believe this rumor. When he heard You Xin’s words, he immediately laughed. He just felt that You Xin was already quite familiar with Duan Jiashu from his words, and his heart was a little sour.

“But watching your program, you and Duan Jiashu are being pushed to stir up your CP. In the recent episode, you were specially put to extra food for Duan Jiashu. You two are gaining more CP fans.”

When You Xin heard this, he remembered how Duan Jiashu trapped him at that time. If the other hadn’t kept sending such coquettish messages in wechat, he wouldn’t have cooked for Duan Jiashu and gotten ridiculed by everyone. But he can’t explain this. All misunderstandings related to Duan Jiashu will sound like bullsh*t as long as he opened his mouth and explained to others! xNH92i

“We’d do whatever we like just to finish the show.” You Xin sighed as he ate. He was really tired of selling CP with Duan laoshi. The sugar eaten by the JiaXin CP fans was actually his own tears!

The two of them ate, drank, and talked. It then got late, and You Xin still had to livestream in the evening, so he retreated first.

At 10:30 p.m., You Xin started the livestream and the screen was immediately flooded with messages from JiaXin CP fans who had just finished watching the show the other day. In that episode, You Xin took the initiative to cook and make Duan Jiashu egg cakes, and finally, Duan Jiashu patted his head. This, in the eyes of fujoshis, can be considered as big sugar for them to eat.

Maybe, in order to thank You Xin for spreading sweetness, the gifts from the CP fans kept pouring, which made You Xin embarrassed. Of course, he also received some hate comments, either because he had the cheek to hug Duan laoshi’s thigh, or that he was ugly enough to make Duan laoshi’s appearance look better. You Xin looked at these scolding words very calmly all the way, and was not moved at all. He had truly been selling CP and holding his thighs after all. The abuse to this extent was no longer hurtful. PCTuhb

But in the end, it was You Xin’s own live broadcast, so the comments were still basically from his CP fans and solo fans. The number of Duan fans who came to pick a fight were relatively small, and could not be seen. The questions asked by the CP fans were naturally centered on the program as well.

【Xin Xin, have you enjoyed your time in the group recently?】

“The team arranged a lot of meaningful and interesting activities for guests. We are, after all, the wacky family, and we’re all having a better understanding now. We’re all very united and friendly towards each other, and we get along very harmoniously.” To such questions, You Xin answered more cautiously.

However, the CP fans immediately interpreted this statement into another meaning. X56ols

【He and Duan laoshi are very united and friendly~】

【Better tacit understanding with Duan laoshi~】

【He’s having a more and more harmonious time with Duan laoshi, hey~】

You Xin looked at the comments with lines forming on his forehead. JiaXin CP fans were quite similar to Duan laoshi, who had such a peculiar imagination. OJoVbH

Sure enough, everyone’s questions started to sound like YY. Someone directly asked Duan Jiashu.

【Xin Xin, you sleep in the same room with Duan laoshi. Did you ever hear Duan laoshi snore?】

“Ah?” You Xin was stunned when he saw the question and quickly shook his head. “No, Duan laoshi has never snored.”

The comments started to get excited at You Xin’s reaction. jixo1t

【You can see from Xin Xin’s expression that Duan loashi must really snore, hahaha!】

【Duan loashi snores, hahaha! This is funny!!!】

【See, Xin Xin is scared to admit it. hahaha】

When You Xin saw that his denial made everyone misunderstand even more, his heart suddenly became nervous. If word comes out that Duan Jiashu snores while sleeping and it started from him, which will tarnish Duan laoshi’s image, he doesn’t know how miserable it will be for him. You Xin quickly and forcefully explained. hQsGL

“Duan laoshi really doesn’t snore. His sleeping appearance is actually very good, just like sleeping beauty, he lies on his back with his hands crossed on his chest.”

When they heard You Xin’s explanation, the fans got even more excited.

【Like sleeping beauty, then does Xin Xin have no desire to be a prince to kiss the sleeping beauty to awake him [doge]】

【Oh~ to wake up with a kiss ~ I’m drunk with the sweetness~ [ husky emoji ] 】 TCZPwU

【Don’t go shouting that out loud here, OK~ YY is shameful in public!】

The image of Duan laoshi was cleared, and the comments now went out of control from the CP candy.

Immediately, some fans sent some rockets.

“Don’t, don’t, don’t brush out such an expensive gift…” You Xin looked at the rockets flying on the screen and felt that one of the IDs was a bit familiar, but it quickly disappeared, and he didn’t pay much attention to the following pop-up messages. JuX8kf

After the wave of gifts was almost over and the CP fans’ comments began to die down, the comments of the solo fans began to rise.

【Besides recording programs, what else has Xin Xin been doing recently?】

You Xin thought about it and felt that he had nothing to say about his recent works, but he decided to convey some positive content to his fans.

“I’ve been reading~” he took out “Actors Self-Cultivation” from the drawer and gave a close-up of the book to the camera. “I’m going to study hard, so don’t forget to study hard as well even when you follow stars. We should make progress together every day.” Cnjxqz

The people in the comments started laughing, probably thinking that You Xin was joking.

You Xin saw that people didn’t believe him and became energized. He took out a notebook from the drawer again and flipped it to the camera to show his fans.

“Look, I’ve taken more than a dozen pages of notes, I’m really reading by heart, don’t laugh at me.”

After flipping through the notes, another fan immediately sent a rocket, and this time it was fifty at once. YgL Py

You Xin stared at the ID, called [Cat Expert Duan Laoshi], and his heart thumped, finally remembering who this familiar ID was. This was Duan Jiashu. He saw it from a screenshot once when he shared cat videos with You Xin before.

You Xin’s surprise was completely undisguised, so the change in expression was completely seen by the fans, and since everyone saw what the name of the tycoon who sent rockets was, they immediately screamed.

【Ahhh! Duan laoshi dotes on Xin Xin!】

【Duan laoshi is so rich that he can give so many rewards at once. Such nouveau riche can keep him, ba!】 EcfDFd

【I don’t care, this is Duan laoshi. Don’t wake me up from my dream!】

Cute Xinxin’s Duan laoshi:【I’m also Duan laoshi now!】

Xin Xin’s favorite Duan laoshi:【It’s me, it’s me!】

YDoRJ5

Then, [Cat Expert Duan Laoshi] sent a colorful pop-up message in the middle of the sceen: 【Don’t get too tired from studying. I’ll give you some rewards [head pat]】

You Xin: …

The screen instantly exploded, and the crazy CP fans all felt that this was the real Duan laoshi himself. In the latest episode, Duan Jiashu patted You Xin’s head. Fans even made GIFs of it and slowed it down to watch for who knows how many times. It can be said to be the most popular content in the JiaXin CP circle currently. And this pop-up message, even the tone was very similar to Duan Jiashu himself. The screen was immediately covered with “Ahhh” and screams. Duan fans who were lurking immediately expressed dissatisfaction, and even some fans spoke up.

【Is it disgusting that you can all eat CP content by pretending and making it yourself?】 LoTzck

【It must be you Xin’s own team doing this. In order to sell CP, he doesn’t want to be too shameless】

【It’s a pity that you can’t hold your thighs unless you take off your pants. Hehe】

You Xin saw such comments and became unhappy, but he couldn’t say anything. Then, he saw [Cat Expert Duan Laoshi] send three more pop-up messages.

【I’m spending my money reasonably and legally, what’s it to you?】 APbGk9

【How dare you even scold me, unforgivable!】

【JiaXin fans rush, rip their mouths off】

Duan Jiashu’s actions immediately turned the stream into a mess. The “you scold me and I scold you” movement went forth, and there were also people who felt that typing and cursing each other wasn’t enough, they wanted to add voice cursing to WeChat.

You Xin: … qHFsBR

It seems that his live broadcasting career is over…
