The Theory of QueerbaitingChapter 33

Seeing that the director was already far from them, You Xin was so anxious that he almost jumped up, but he could only speak in a small voice because of someone nearby.

“Duan Jiashu, why did you ask Liu Yanhui to be interviewed with us? Have you a heart?” GuQnik

“Of course I do. It’s a good opportunity for exposure.” Duan Jiashu went to the makeup station and looked in the mirror. Seeing that there was no problem with his hair and makeup, he nodded with satisfaction.

“What kindness? Don’t I know you? You must want to do things in public again. I don’t know if Liu Yanhui is even willing to be interviewed. If he doesn’t, I’ll see what you have say to the director!” You Xin sat down on the chair opposite the makeup mirror, sweating on his anxious forehead, so he had to fan it with his hand.

“If you ask him, he will agree.” Duan Jiashu saw You Xin’s anxious appearance and thought it was very interesting. He bent down and blew You Xin’s neck.

You Xin shook himself and quickly pushed away Duan Jiashu’s head. He stared at the other. Because there were others in the dressing room, he didn’t dare scold him. Duan Jiashu didn’t bother anymore, so he sat down next to you Xin. 7alkLC

You Xin sent Liu Yanhui a message.

You Xin: 【Hui-ge, wait a sec, some press is coming to interview us for a bit. Would you like to go together?】

Soon, Liu Yanhui replied.

Liu Yanhui: 【Duan Jiashu is here too, isn’t he?】
You Xin: 【er… Yes】
Liu Yanhui: 【I’ll go then】
You Xin: …

“How did you know he was willing to be interviewed?” You Xin looked up at Duan Jiashu and felt that he was a little incredible. How can Duan Jiashu, who was always weird and wonderful, have shared ideas with Liu Yanhui, who was stable and introverted?

“I did say it was a battle between gongs, so you wouldn’t understand.” With that, Duan Jiashu opened the Bilibili app again, watched a cat video, and sent a barrage of comments in the danmu like: “ying ying ying, Ah-Jiu is truly capable of good endurance~”

You Xin: …

You Xin stared at Duan Jiashu and silently curled his lips. Forget it, the thought of the childish kids in this place is too complicated, so he wouldn’t get involved. PD0VHK

However, a drama with three people is doomed to fail without You Xin’s presence.

Everyone ate happily. Only Duan Jiashu squinted at Liu Yanhui. It was so ingenious of him to buy people’s hearts when they arrive. rmvG31

After eating, everyone was ready for the interview. You Xin and Duan Jiashu were both wearing their costumes from the drama, and because they were disciples of the same sect, their clothes were almost the same, only different in details. At first glance, one would think they are wearing lovers’ clothes. Duan Jiashu patted You Xin on the shoulder or hold You Xin’s small waist from time to time, which seemed to imply that they were very close. Liu Yanhui saw all these in his eyes, but he didn’t say anything.

As soon as the camera started rolling, the battle between gongs began before the interview even commenced. The three people were standing for the interview, so the first thing to decide was the position. Duan Jiashu first stood on the far left. Just as he was about to signal You Xin to stand next to him, Liu Yanhui went over. Duan Jiashu glanced at Liu Yanhui and smiled. Then he turned his head and immediately became expressionless, while Liu Yanhui smiled and said nothing. You Xin saw the two people in front stand but did not notice their small movements, so he stood directly to the far right.

The camera faithfully recorded the scene. Then they began the interview and asked questions. Because Duan Jiashu was the protagonist of the drama, most of the questions were aimed at him. At the beginning, the reporter asked questions related to the plot. Duan Jiashu was very well prepared for this kind of question. When asked, he talked freely with one to three points, which was very logical and full of content. You Xin listened carefully with his head down, nodding as he listened.

Duan Jiashu stopped after saying something and suddenly turned to You Xin: “Xin Xin, am I correct?” dwBvYp

You Xin: “Ah?”

You Xin suddenly raised his head because he was called ‘Xin Xin’ by the other, and his hair stood up in fear. It’s okay. Everyone doesn’t know that Duan Jiashu and I have an affair. You Xin, just act natural. Come on! You Xin blinked wildly while mentally preparing himself, and smiled stiffly at the camera, “That’s right.”

“Ha ha ha.” Duan Jiashu smiled and walked over Liu Yanhui to you Xin. He took his hand around each other’s shoulder and patted him. “Xin Xin hasn’t been interviewed recently. He’s a little nervous.”

You Xin: … 4ZYbSW

What else can You Xin say to that? He could only continue to laugh. “hahaha, a little, yes.”

At the moment, Liu Yanhui was on the far left, Duan Jiashu in the right, and You Xin in the middle. Duan Jiashu glanced at Liu Yanhui casually and lifted the corners of his mouth. Liu Yanhui’s face looked a little cold, but he didn’t say anything. You Xin still didn’t find anything.

The reporter then spoke. “Duan laoshi, you seem to have a good relationship with You Xin.”

“Very good.” Duan Jiashu agreed, “I used to sleep in the same room with You Xin when recording for a variety show. We formed good feelings together when we did.” m3HvyI

You Xin: !!!

You Xin: “hahaha…”

He was startled. He didn’t know what to say, so he just laughed beside him.

“Liu Yanhui and You Xin also have a good relationship, right? He’s so thoughtful for visiting You Xin in the set, ah!” The reporter added. beMZKD

Liu Yanhui smiled at the camera. “After all, Xiao Xin and I have known each other for so long. We also lived together for three years before. I know a lot about his preferences. This is nothing.” It was a light-hearted sentence, but it had a huge return. Then he gave Duan Jiashu a faint look.

At this time, You Xin finally felt the atmosphere of the battle. He was flustered, but his face could only smile and laugh. “hahaha, yes, hahaha…”

They probably felt that You Xin had only been laughing and didn’t talk much, because the reporter specially asked You Xin a question next.

“I’ll jokingly ask You Xin a question, Which relationship is better, you and Duan Jiashu or you and Liu Yanhui?” OyBWsh

You Xin: …

Is this a joke? No! It’s a matter of playing with life and death! You Xin watched Duan Jiashu and Liu Yanhui smile at him. He instantly felt like a pancake on a deep fryer. One side was burnt and the other side was also burnt. His cake was going to be fried.

“In fact, my feelings are very ordinary.” You Xin answered with a cold face and smiled again. “Ha ha ha ha ha, I’m kidding.” He smiled and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

After the interview finally wrapped up, the three of them came out of the set together, intending to go to a meal spot for dinner. You Xin felt that his body and mind were greatly tested, and he was both physically and mentally exhausted. He touched his face and felt that his cheeks were a bit sore and that his mouth muscles might have been used badly. As he was rubbing his face, You Xin felt his buttocks were pinched, and he turned around to see that it was really Duan Jiashu who did it.

“Why, aren’t you afraid of being seen?”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“What are you afraid of? Straight men can play like this, can’t they? This is the best punishment for you not saying your feelings for me earlier.” With that, Duan Jiashu pinched You Xin again.

Straight men your mother, You Xin immediately defiantly pinched Duan Jiashu’s waist. “You’re settling accounts? What did you say in front of the camera, huh? You want to scare me to death?” KDc1z

Duan Jiashu dodged while talking back. “Xin Xin, you are too timid, what I said are just very normal words, only the thing in your heart will be so afraid and think that you’ll be exposed. To be frank, it’s all because you like me too much that you have this mentality.”

“Get out!”

You Xin and Duan Jiashu tickled each other while on the road, but they heard a sudden cough. You Xin realized that Liu Yanhui was still beside him. He immediately stopped talking and felt ashamed. Duan Jiashu stood beside You Xin and looked at Liu Yanhui with a trace of pride.

Liu Yanhui took a deep look at Duan Jiashu and smiled. “I have something to do tonight, so I won’t have dinner with you two.” C3ehYv

“Oh, you won’t?” Although You Xin felt a little embarrassed to see Liu Yanhui at the beginning, he was surprised to find that the other had something to do.

“Xiao Xin, I hope you can always be happy. If one day you feel unhappy,” said Liu Yanhui, glancing at Duan Jiashu, “you can still come to me.”

“Ah?” You Xin saw Duan Jiashu along with the other’s eyes, and he knew something in his heart. He opened his mouth to say something but saw that Liu Yanhui had already waved away.

You Xin was sad to see Liu Yanhui go away that quick. He couldn’t tell what it was like in his heart, but he sighed in the end. sQMbGT

“Don’t feel sorry for him.” Duan Jiashu suddenly lowered his head and said to You Xin, “If I were him, I wouldn’t give you up like this. What’s this nonsense of wanting you to be happy all the time?”

You Xin looked at Duan Jiashu and saw the other’s eyes staring deeply at him.

Duan Jiashu took You Xin’s hand and kissed it. “I don’t expect others to give you happiness. I only believe that you are the happiest with me.”

It was completely dark and there was no street light around. The two men came out of the set and walked a long way. Now they were standing in the corner by the back alley of the hotel, surrounded by only the clear moonlight. You Xin’s heart beat faster. As soon as his brain heated up, he took the initiative to hold Duan Jiashu. The other soon hugged him back and held him very tightly. rP7YX3

Without talking, they held each other silently for a long time.

Duan Jiashu couldn’t help laughing silently while holding You Xin. The line he recited in advance was really useful, thanks to his accumulation of learning so many good words and sentences. When he comes home today, he will mark the lines with stars and record the key points. In the future, he will memorize more lines that were similar to those and say them to You Xin.

In this world, there is no talent for being coquettish. Only those who are good at accumulation and learning new flowery words can keep being coquettish.

Duan Jiashu let You Xin go, bowed his head and kissed his lips. “Xin Xin, I really like you, come stay with me~” 9TpYhv

“… Alright,” You Xin’s voice was still a little shy, but he replied. “I like you too.”

Translator's Note

四两拨千斤 in the raws, I couldn’t really find a good phrase to translate it, but it’s an idiom that means ” a big payoff for a small amount of effort”. LYH was saying something casual, but he knows that his words will have a big impact
