The Theory of QueerbaitingChapter 19

Bonus Chapter 2/2


Duan Jiashu commanded the JiaXin fans and his own fans to have a loud fan war that night, then slept a beautiful night’s sleep. xL1Kih

He woke up the morning after and went running, took a shower, and ate breakfast. Then, he happily sat on his sofa and opened Weibo, intending to play around in the JiaXin CP Super Topic for a while. Duan Jiashu’s Weibo account wasn’t very convenient for him to do this, and he is a star that makes headlines at every turn, so he hadn’t logged on to his main account for a long time. In order to blend in with other JiaXin fans and understand the ship first-hand, Duan Jiashu registered a side account. He not only interacted with several JiaXin fans, but even hooked up with the “Full of Absurd Words Written on Paper” account that wrote about the running with the ball fanfiction because he often praised writers.

To sum it up in one sentence, Duan Jiashu has now blended in amongst the JiaXin CP fan circle.

However, when Duan Jiashu opened his Weibo today, he didn’t want to interact with the little sisters. His beautiful mood in the morning also diminished. The first Weibo post he saw when he refreshed the home page was the source of his bad mood.

X-Wave Entertainment: 【Liu Yanhui waited for someone at a restaurant late at night. The person was not his girlfriend but was actually You Xin.】Some reporter photographed @Liu Yanhui going to the hotel alone last night and ordered in advance, suspected of waiting for his girlfriend. The reporter thought to wait for the big news, passionate and waiting to shoot, but he didn’t expect that the guest he was waiting for was actually @You Xin [doge]. They were very happy while eating and chatting, leaving the reporter disappointed. For more details, please watch the video… d8Ms2f

Duan Jiashu read the post word for word, then clicked into the comments. Passers-by were laughing and commented “hahaha”, Meteor CP fans were eating sugar, and JiaXin fans… Duan Jiashu scrolled through several posts on his home page, all of which were JiaXin CP fans crying and expressing envy and jealousy. Yesterday they were eating sugar, but today, they were sad; happiness is always so short.

Duan Jiashu finished reading his sisters’ posts with a heavy heart, then opened the video posted by X-Wave Entertainment. Taking a small notebook from the coffee table, he watched while taking notes, a strong hand almost poking holes in the notebook. After watching the video, he got the following data.

Liu Yanhui offered You Xin food: 5 times

Liu Yanhui smiled at You Xin: 4 times

You Xin smiled at Liu Yanhui: 3 times

You Xin making happy hand gestures: 4 times

The content of this video was more than just their interactions. They had a private dinner and were mistaken by the reporter for dating and waiting for a girlfriend. These two points alone were good CP content. What’s more, You Xin and Liu Yanhui showed a natural, relaxed and close relationship during their filming. Duan Jiashu, based on his experience in the CP circle during this period of time, judged that this video, which brought together many climax factors in the eyes of CP fans, will definitely explode in the fandom. With this video, the Meteor CP can look up and hold their chests high in the CP circle again.

The JiaXin CP was falling behind again! Tf9bBX

They were defeated by their rivals even though they performed so hard yesterday! It was really annoying! However, this wasn’t the most irritating thing for Duan Jiashu. The most irritating thing was that You Xin went on a late night date with another man while pretending to be CP!

He doesn’t want to listen to You Xin’s previous statement that he and Liu Yanhui were just brothers and good friends. Since he promised to act out a CP with him, he should completely avoid giving other CP the chance to make sweet moments. If both the sweet moments between JiaXin and the Meteor CP have been spread, it’s equal to none at all. If he can’t focus on their own, what’s the point of his and You Xin pretending to be CP? If you try to write your own script, wouldn’t the current one be all useless? You Xin has gone too far. He really doesn’t respect the fruits of their labor at all!

Goodness, not only was this unprofessional, but also hateful! Finally finding an outlet for anger, Duan Jiashu huffed and drank a glass of cold water before easing up a bit. He slowly calmed down and began to analyze carefully. After all, there are still few people as dedicated as himself. It’s impossible for a simpleton like You Xin who has no ambition to understand the importance of distribution of CP content. He doesn’t have enough talent to play so deeply like he himself, and he still has to wait for himself to teach and influence him. m10Wxd

Duan Jiashu, who found his way forward again, nodded to himself and decided to start making a new round of planning.

After X-Wave Entertainment’s Weibo post, the late night date between You Xin and Liu Yanhui was also discussed on the entertainment forums.

Landlord’s post:
Did everyone read that Weibo post? The reporter originally wanted to squat around and see if Liu Yanhui has a girlfriend, but the result was that You Xin came. This is too funny, it has the potential to be on this year’s top ten most bullsh*t entertainment news 233333

But after watching the video, I really think that You Xin and Liu Yanhui’s feelings are very good, ah. This landlord privately hopes that the two are really together~ 974Owr

I’ve been watching the “Weird Family”, and I’ve eaten the JiaXin CP food of Duan Jiashu and You Xin, but now I feel like I’m climbing the wall 23333

【It seems that the landlord is the legendary sugar-only fan, climbing the wall anytime, anywhere】

【Meteor fans report to the front row. If the landlord wants meteor candy, I can give you a meteor Gift Bag~】 69osat

【Meteor’s candies are really delicious. In the past, Liu Yanhui took care of You Xin the most when they were still an idol group. In the video, Liu Yanhui also offered dishes You Xin likes several times. He’s still really gentle and considerate.】

【Gentle and considerate, what a fart. Their group has disbanded for three years already and they’ve never contacted each other since. You Xin finally became popular, but Liu Yanhui began to stick around, hehe】

【The JiaXin fan above is so sour. Did you enjoy eating fake candy yesterday?】

【What fake sugar, us passersby are so curious, does anyone know anything about it?】 vNQOLz

【You Xin livestreamed yesterday, a JiaXin CP fan gave You Xin 50 rockets under Duan Jiashu’s name, and called on the CP fans to tear down Duan Jiashu’s solo fans who were making trouble, which was simply 2333333】

【God, You Xin must be embarrassed to see the CP being talked about directly in front of him. Ah, quite heartbreaking…】

【It’s just embarrassing. You Xin’s face didn’t look good at that time, but the JiaXin fans still used it as sugar content 23333】

【I think You Xin may be the one who did all this on his own to reward himself and give the JiaXin CP some content. You Xin got popular again due to the JiaXin fans. Which CP do you think he would like to queerbait on some more? I think Meteor should stand aside already, ba hahaha】 caDx2V

【Can you stop spreading rumors? All these empty talk and nonsense. That rich person who gave gifts on the live broadcast was not disguised at the JiaXin fans at all. The account was called [Cat Expert Duan Laoshi]. Everyone who watches cute pet livestreams know that he’s the top on the rewards list of many cat livestream accounts, okay? That person has been called this name for many years. It is not a temporary name.】

【If what is said upstairs is true, then this [Cat Expert Duan Laoshi] is someone You Xin knows, right? I watched the livestream yesterday. You Xin’s expression shows that he should know who this tycoon is, but he didn’t expect the other to reward him, so he panicked, right?】

【Maybe it’s You Xin’s financial backer. They saw CP fans being too annoying and declared their sovereignty 2333333】

wo cao, wo cao, wo cao! Sisters, look what I found! I just went to check the homepage of [Cat Expert Duan Laoshi] and found that he has been registered for three years and is 28 years old, the same age as Duan Jiashu.】 YAk1PD

【Wo cao, upstairs! I remembered that Duan Jiashu once mentioned in a previous interview that his favorite animal is a cat, and his favorite type of cat is an orange cat. I just checked the account of [Cat Expert Duan Laoshi] and the most rewarded cat account is the orange Xiao Ju Ju!】

【It seems that [Cat Expert Duan Laoshi] is Duan Jiashu himself, so You Xin knew his ID and was so frightened to see the other give him gifts, because he’s worried that their relationship would be exposed. Wow, it’s both unbelievable and reasonable. All the clues are right.】

【I believe the in words of the upstairs comment. With so many coincidences, they’re no longer coincidences. Goodbye Meteor, JiaXin is rio!】

【JiaXin is too Rio! In contrast, Meteor’s late night date has become boring. My God, it’s still delicious though. I’m so excited! I feel like I can pry the earth open with a lever! hahaha!】 UTO2mw

【My God! I got some giant JQ in this building. I was so excited that I got dizzy, f*ck! Duan Jiashu and You Xin got so much content last time. Why do they have so many! In the Wacky Family program, both of them sleep in the same room. I think they’ve already slept together, ba!】

【I’ve summarized all the things [Cat Expert Duan Laoshi] did in the livestream yesterday. I sincerely invite all sisters to get a taste of this pure and beautiful love~:

Some fans asked You Xin whether Duan Jiashu snored or not. You Xin tried to explain and praised Duan laoshi’s sleeping and said he was like a sleeping beauty. [ cat emoji ] rewarded a rocket.

Then, You Xin showed his notes on the “Actor’s Self Cultivation”, and [cat emoji] rewarded 50 rockets with a message “Don’t get too tired from studying. I’ll give you some rewards [head pat]” JvUECP

Later, there were Duan fans in the comments who dissed You Xin. They said that You Xin was rewarded by [cat emoji] was actually his team and he directed and acted it all out by himself. He was scolded very hard. [cat emoji] was angry and sent three pop-up messages to the Duan fans: “I’m spending my money reasonably and legally, what’s it to you?” “How dare you even scold me, unforgivable!” “JiaXin fans rush, rip their mouths off!”

Everybody just enjoy it, ba. Anyway, I’ve done my part [husky emoji]】

【I was preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, but after reading the summary upstairs, shoot! I went to watch the livestream’s replay. Love is worth wasting time!】

【[Cat emoji] may not be Duan Jiashu himself. Upstairs, I’ll chop off my head if not. Love is terrible. Duan Jiashu must be muddle-headed and I as well】 rmV3nG

【Friends, I know what you need now. Go and read Full of Absurd Words Written on Paper’s “Unexpected Love” fanfiction. Eating meat after eating sugar is very special for digestion!】

【Upstairs is a good person】

【A good person will have a good and peaceful life~】
