The Theory of QueerbaitingChapter 20

You Xin had just arrived home when he received a call from Yu-jie.

“What’s going on with you and Duan Jiashu?” EuvDKA

You Xin felt that there was a tone of inquisitiveness in Yu-jie’s voice. He didn’t know what the other had discovered, but You Xin still held out.

“…Nothing.”

“Nothing? I told you to sell CP, but I didn’t tell you to go on a date!”

“Huh?” You Xin was confused, but he immediately thought of last night’s livestream with Duan Jiashu, the demon’s actions. He didn’t surf the Internet much all day today. He only saw that he and Liu Yanhui’s dinner was photographed by someone. It had nothing to do with Duan Jiashu, so how could she ask about him and Duan Jiashu? It couldn’t be that the weirdo had another weird idea to sell CP again, and was then misunderstood! VTCpd7

“So… What did you find out?” whenever You Xin was nervous, his voice would increase by an octave.

“My God… You’re really making friends with Duan Jiashu! I thought that he was so kind to accompany you to sell CP in the program, but it turns out, it was fake…”

“No, no, Yu-jie, I really have nothing to do with him, tell me what you found first!” You Xin didn’t know whether to cry or laugh, he felt that there was something that she couldn’t tell.

“You’re so nervous, I’ve already sent you the link, see it for yourself!”

You Xin didn’t care about what Yu-jie said next on the phone, as he immediately opened the link to the popular post at the fastest speed. Fortunately, netizens still discussed You Xin’s live broadcast accident last night. Everyone just merely suspected that Duan Jiashu was the person who rewarded him during the live broadcast. Although there were many clues, there was no solid evidence.

He exhaled a long breath, “okay okay, they didn’t pick up anything else…”

“Hey, You Xin, are you still listening? I don’t care if the netizens pick up something or not, you have to give me a good explanation!”

You Xin, who was just relieved, panicked again. He deliberately stammered as he explained, “… it’s really nothing, it’s just that I went live yesterday, and Duan Jiashu… he rewarded very expensive gifts, and then his true identity was almost discovered by the netizens …” … …” jFG9sa

“You’re so nervous about being discovered by netizens? Then you must have something else to say!” Yu-jie’s tone was very certain, “It couldn’t be that… you and Duan Jiashu engaged in unspoken rules?!”

You Xin covered his face, “My God, Yu-jie, what are you thinking? Don’t cheat me to saying anything, it really was nothing. I was just nervous because Duan Jiashu is usually offline, I’m afraid he did something to make people misunderstand my relationship with him, nothing else. Really.”

While explaining sincerely, You Xin thought if him being forced to sell CP with Duan Jiashu was considered an unspoken rule. No one would believe it anyway. Maybe, during the period of selling CP with Duan Jiashu, his acting skills was honed and his level of lying improved significantly. You Xin felt almost convinced.

“Okay, I believe you for now.” Yu-jie said with a little doubt, but did not continue to ask. “You take a good look at the offers I found for you. After recording this variety show, you have to take over a new role. ” 5DIG4x

“OK, OK, I will.” You Xin has long been used to Yu-jie’s speed of changing topics, and immediately agreed out of goodwill. As soon as he was relieved however, Yu-jie returned to the previous problem.

“Xiao Xin, if that Jiashu really wants to do something to you…”

You Xin: …

“Okay, I know you’re embarrassed, so no more. I’m hanging up… *beep beep beep*” xyrRnd

“Hello!?” After hearing the “busy” tone, You Xin rolled his eyes. What is this matter? She’d figured out the plot of the story and asked him to explain, but he really had no time to reason! Why does Duan Jiashu set him up every time he does something?

You Xin got angry, then his phone rang again. He picked it up and saw that Duan Jiashu had sent him a message.

Duan Jiashu: 【You Xin, are you home? I want to go to your place】

You Xin: 【I’m not at home.】 eHXtAw

F*ck, this guy did a good job last night of giving him so much trouble, and this bastard has yet to settle accounts! And now he wants to come to his house?! In your dreams!

Duan Jiashu:【I just saw you send pictures on your Moments amongst your friends circle, you are clearly at home [angry]】[friends circle screenshot.png]

What the hell?! You already know, yet you still asked me if I’m home!

You Xin: 【Well, I’m at home yes, but why don’t you come to my house another time?】 zAciln

Duan Jiashu: 【I just quarreled with my agent, my home keys are in his office. I don’t want to go back and get it when he’s still angry. I have no other place to go, so I wanted to come to you [aggrieved]】

Is this some kind of kindergarten kid running away scene? He doesn’t want to participate in this kind of children’s drama, okay? You Xin rolled his eyes towards the sky, and replied to the WeChat.

You Xin: 【You can’t go to a hotel instead?】

Duan Jiashu: 【I have nothing on me except my phone, and I can’t sleep directly on the hotel bed, it’s not clean.】 McQ0L3

You Xin: 【Then do you not have other friends, must you really come to me?】

Duan Jiashu: 【No [pitiful]】

You Xin: …

Well, he was stupid to ask Duan Jiashu such a question. It’s a miracle that someone like Duan Jiashu had grown up like this, but how can one expect him to have friends? opLl0C

Duan Jiashu: 【I’m already at the door of your neighborhood】

You Xin: 【How do you even know where I live!?】

Duan Jiashu: 【I saw the address when you bought snacks last time. Quickly contact the security guard to let me in, or someone will recognize me sooner or later.】

You Xin: 【!!!】 s74m5W

Damn it! News that says “Duan Jiashu, who in a low-profile, went to the neighborhood where You Xin lives alone but was stopped by the security guard” would likely make headlines on Weibo! You Xin was so scared that his scalp tingled, so he hurriedly called the neighborhood’s security guard, then quickly and sneakily slipped downstairs to bring Duan Jiashu to his place. He was innocent, but why does he always end up experiencing such problems?.

Different from the panicked You Xin, Duan Jiashu calmly took off his mask and hat after entering the door, looked at You Xin’s house very leisurely, and looked uneasy and wronged that he had nowhere to go.

“Your house is so small, but it’s quite clean.”

“…Oh, you’ll like it just fine.” U8r l7

“It’s okay, it’s barely livable.”

You Xin: …

“When will you go back? If your agent can’t find you, he’d be anxious.” It’s better to hurry up and send this god away to save him from p*ssing him off even more.

As soon as Duan Jiashu heard You Xin’s words, he immediately sat down on the sofa and looked up at You Xin with bright eyes. “I’m hungry, I haven’t eaten dinner yet.” 8jZJpg

“If you want to eat, go order take-out yourself!”

Duan Jiashu looked at You Xin and didn’t speak.

You Xin: …

You Xin wondered if he was assimilated by Duan Jiashu, a psychopath. He could actually read what the other wanted to express, he was looked at by Duan Jiashu’s eyes and had no choice but to choose to compromise. L8HIgt

“I’ll cook for you okay!”

“Yes, I accept.” Duan Jiashu nodded happily. “Then can you make roast beef with potatoes? Kung Pao chicken is fine too, and I still want to eat the egg cake you made for me last time…”

“Whatever I’ll make, you eat!” You Xin angrily yelled. DId he owe Duan Jiashu money in his last life and didn’t return it, that in this life the other had to torment him like this? He was also quite cheap. Why take him home when he could’ve let him stand outside and make headlines? It’s none of his business anyway/

Duan Jiashu jumped after being yelled at. He looked at You Xin’s face then quietly said, “Okay, anyway, whatever you make, I like to eat.” S4AtDo

“… Then you be good and wait here till I call you…” You Xin quickly walked towards the kitchen, thinking that he just yelled too loud. Duan Jiashu was like an exotic flower. Why are you angry with him? Forget it, just cook him a meal and send him away quickly.

He didn’t buy any food yet, so there was only a little leftover ingredients at home. You Xin planned to make a bowl of noodles. He first diced the mushrooms, tomatoes and onions he found, poured oil into the pot, fried the minced meat, then added diced vegetables and salt to fry as well, then added water and soy sauce to make the soup, and finally put the Yangchun noodles in.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

You Xin’s cooking had methodical, skillful movements, so in a short time, one can already smell the food’s good aroma. Duan Jiashu didn’t sit in the living room, he just stood by the kitchen door and watched intently as You Xin cooked. Seeing that You Xin put the noodles into the pot and there was nothing more for him to do for the time being, he went behind you Xin and touched the other’s shoulders.

You Xin was startled. “What are you doing?” He struggled a little, but the other’s height suppressed him, and You Xin couldn’t move. Ff5DEi

Duan Jiashu put his head against his neck and slowly replied, “I just think that when you cook…”

“It reminds you of your mom, doesn’t it?” You Xin rolled his eyes and didn’t bother to struggle. After knowing Duan Jiashu this long, he has learned to rush to answer.

“Yes.” Duan Jiashu nodded.

Sure enough. You Xin sighed helplessly and felt a little strange in his heart. As far as he knew, Duan Jiashu had both of his parents. How come the other seemed to lack motherly love even more than him? pgU TY

“Doesn’t your mother cook for you?”

Duan Jiashu frowned, “My mother doesn’t really cook well.”

You Xin curled his mouth and asked him, “Does your mother still beat you?”

“How did you know?” Duan Jiashu turned and looked at You Xin. His breath sprayed on You Xin’s neck. BK1pn5

You Xin shrinked his neck sensitively and snickered. It’d be strange if your mother didn’t beat you. She’s a very kind mother to raise you till you’re this old without killing you. He wanted to meet Duan Jiashu’s mother.

When the noodle soup boiled, You Xin finally put aside Duan Jiashu’s arm, turned down the fire and gave Duan Jiashu an ultimatum. “The noodles will be ready soon. You can leave as soon as you finish eating.”

“I won’t leave. I want to stay here.”

“I only have one bedroom and one bed. Where would you sleep?” KR6v7t

“I’ll sleep with you.”
