The Theory of QueerbaitingCh42 - Extra 4: JiaXin Comes Out of the Closet (Part 1)

Fu Wenjing habitually takes out her phone and scrolls through Weibo whenever she takes the bus to work every morning.

Although she is only a small employee of a company in real life, she has tens of thousands of fans on her Weibo. This is because she has another identity on the Internet, that is, she is a JiaXin CP fan page and fanfiction author. Many people have read her fanfiction and are already very familiar with her Weibo name, which by the way, is “Full of Absurd Words Written on Paper”. kwgsnV

Fu Wenjing has been paying attention to JiaXin for four years. For a CP, four years is already a long time. During this period, no matter how other CPs changed, JiaXin was still continuously having sweet content. Even the Duan and You fans, whose two families always quarrelled, have to admit that the two men in the CP really do have a good relationship.

Two months ago, China passed the proposal to legalize same-sex marriage, and the fans of the CP shipping circle followed through and felt high. Many of Fu Wenjing’s little sisters imagined her posting a scene of JiaXin’s marriage on her Weibo. Fu Wenjing didn’t express any expectations for JiaXin on her Weibo though. It’s not that Fu Wenjing hasn’t imagined a JiaXin marriage, but she thinks that being a JiaXin CP fan is good enough. People shouldn’t be too greedy and always look forward to something they may not be destined to get. If you hope too much, you may be disappointed in the end.

This morning, Fu Wenjing refreshed her Weibo on the bus, as usual, to see what was new in the JiaXin circle. Every time she sees JiaXin content, she will feel the sweetness in her heart. At the same time, a lot of inspiration will emerge, which makes her more motivated to write. However, as soon as she refreshed the page today, she saw someone from the Super Topic say that Duan Jiashu had just posted a Weibo. Fu Wenjing didn’t see what Duan Jiashu’s Weibo post was yet, but she saw his attached picture, which was obviously a marriage certificate.

Fu Wenjing’s heart suddenly grew cold and her palms started sweating, but she still clicked to look at the picture. Just after seeing the picture, her eyes widened in shock. There was no other person on the marriage certificate, but it was Duan Jiashu and You Xin. Photos, words and content were read one by one, and showed the marriage certificate of the two of them. gpd7bO

This certificate is too real… Fu Wenjing studied the picture for a long time before she remembered and went back to see what Weibo Duan Jiashu wrote. Duan Jiashu wrote a sentence on his Weibo post.

【You Xin and I have been together for four years. This year, our country has allowed us to get married, so we got our certificate.】

Fu Wenjing immediately refreshed her Weibo and saw that You Xin reposted Duan Jiashu’s Weibo, saying only one sentence”

【No jokes here, we really are married.】

Fu Wenjing stared at this sentence for a long time and went blank in her mind. When she reacted again, she discovered that her tears couldn’t stop falling down. She raised her hand and wiped her tears before several people around her looked at her. At this time, Fu Wenjing realized that she cried on the bus with a lot of people early in the morning.

What a shame! Although Fu Wenjing thought so, the smile on her face couldn’t be hidden.

She took out a paper towel and wiped her face. She wanted to check Weibo again, but she discovered that Weibo crashed.

Thinking of this, Fu Wenjing got a little worried. She didn’t know how the announcement of this matter would affect JiaXin. The first pair of gay stars who announced their marriage publicly in China sounded very brave, handsome and exciting, but in fact, after they announced their sexual orientations, the way forward is still unknown. It was likely that if they aren’t careful, they will ruin their bright future.

Fu Wenjing woke up from the feeling of ecstasy and got out of the bus with a heavy heart. When she got to her office, she took out her phone again and saw that the Weibo finally returned to normal. Her home page was in complete chaos. Some people were scared silly because of fright, some laughed wildly because of surprise, and some cried bitterly because of worrying about JiaXin’s future. The venting of fans’ true feelings was also mixed with the news of Duan Jiashu and You Xin on various media pages. Although their words were different, they all confirmed the news of the two coming out without exception.

After reading the Weibo posts, Fu Wenjing felt flustered and didn’t know what she should send. After thinking for a while, she reposted the You Xin and Duan Jiashu’s posts and wrote a simple sentence.

【I support your decision!】 U6icmp

Slowly, more and more people on the home page did the same thing as Fu Wenjing. Watching the posts appear on the screen one by one, Fu Wenjing calmed down slowly and felt a little comforted. However, when she clicked on Duan Jiashu’s Weibo, she found that the comments were not as harmonious as the reposts. The most liked comments were:
【I disagree!】
【Is this fake!?】
【Someone told me that you and You Xin were together before. I didn’t believe it. Now my heart is broken [crying]】
【There’s no way, but I can only wish you happiness [crying]】
Seeing these comments, Fu Wenjing’s heart was worried again. But no matter how worried she is, she can’t scroll through her phone now.

It’s almost time for work, and she has a lot to do today. Fu Wenjing took a deep breath, turned on the computer and started the day’s work.

The news that Duan Jiashu and You Xin came out and announced their marriage not only caused an uproar on Weibo, but it also caused heated discussion in various entertainment forums.

After several pages of posts confirming the news, someone finally began to seriously discuss the matter. j5INiA

【Although I’ve been shouting about JiaXin being SZD all day, I never thought JiaXin was actually married!】
This landlord is not a JiaXin fan but just a passer-by. It’s just that when watching Duan fans and You fans quarrelling in the forums, they would sometimes shout “JiaXin is Rio”, but it’s as a joke. By the way, they are angry with the other fans. Who’d know that when this landlord just scrolled through Weibo this morning, I’ll find that the JiaXin was really together!!! And even married?!! This landlord was shocked when I saw the news and yelled! At that time, I was going to the bathroom. After I shouted, I startled my mother and she thought I fell into the toilet. It was so stupid.
Well, now let’s get down to business. This landlord is really curious. How well do Duan Jiashu and You Xin get on? Are there any fans who can tell me what “Rio” moments they have! The microphone is ready. This landlord will interview you now! (please ignore my trembling hand because of excitement)

【JiaXin fans haven’t slowed down yet. The outside world is terrible. Let me come to the landlord to calm down.】
【Hehe, I’ve predicted that Duan Jiashu and You Xin were having an affair for a long time now. I thought we wouldn’t know since they won’t say it. Who knew that he’d directly announce his marriage. As a Duan fan, I really feel that the last glimmer of hope is gone.】
【I think I’ve taken out my whole life’s luck and it went to liking JiaXin. I’m still crying. JiaXin Rio moments can’t be elaborated in just three days and nights. I can’t say anything now. Let me have a good cry first!】
【In fact, at the beginning, the two people had all kinds of Rio moments. After getting to know each other on the variety show, they raised a cat together and starred in a TV drama together. Duan Jiashu used to take pictures of himself in You Xin’s house. They had dinner together or went abroad together many times. They got along very closely. Later, it was more of an open secret. Many people in the circle knew that JiaXin was already together. But in this way, I was surprised to see them announce it. I really admire their courage!】
【As a You fan, I had expected today. A sister saw Duan Jiashu sending off You Xin when she was in a plane. When she came back, she cried and took off the fan circle and said You Xin was gay. At that time, I was ready for anything…】
【Sure, many fans already know that Duan Jiashu and You Xin are together. You are all so powerful that you can hold your breath!】
【You JiaXin fans need to slow down! Meteor fans really cried 5555, and our Meteor really has no more to go to!】
【Don’t be sad upstairs comment. Go eat MengYan instead. MengYan is also rio 23333. Two days ago, there was a Weibo post of a video of Liu Yanhui dating Meng Shaodong 23333】
【Can a boy group have three gays? Don’t scare me upstairs 2333333】
【After seeing the news that JiaXin came out today, I immediately went to have a look at the very famous fan account amongst the JiaXin circle, “Duan laoshi and Xin Xin have XXX Every Day”. Guess what, this account posted last night and said there was going to be big news tomorrow morning! Sh*t, this account is really awesome, and the post was too accurate!】
【I know this account. The amount of JiaXin material this account posted is really accurate, but many fans scold this account 23333】
【Seeing upstairs, I went to have a look out of curiosity. Now I understand why fans are scolding them23333】
【Although XXX Every Day’s posts are accurate, I really like YY. I often fantasize that Duan Jiashu and You Xin chatting. The content this blogger posts feel like bullsh*tting, like primary school students falling in love. Many fans who saw their posts scolded the blogger for this. Even our JiaXin fans felt ashamed. Most of us don’t care about him except for reading content. Only primary school-aged JiaXin fans support this blogger. I didn’t expect that the news of JiaXin coming out of the closet was predicted accurately. I’m really curious. Who is this blogger? Even if it’s an insider, it’s impossible to know so many things!】
【I have a bold idea. I don’t think this blogger may be YY. I remember this blogger once shared their mobile phone case and then deleted it immediately. Later, I saw that Duan Jiashu and You Xin both used the same phone case as that blogger. There were a lot of details about this blogger. Even the people around them can’t know the details so clearly. I think it might be JiaXin! One of them is the owner of this Weibo account!】
【Sleeping trough! The idea upstairs is too bold and sounds like bullsh*t!!! XXX Every Day’s writing style is really stupid. I don’t think it’s right for Duan Jiashu or You Xin’s images! They both look normal!】
【I think it’s Duan Jiashu. I saved the picture of the phone case. It shows the blogger’s hand, which looks like Duan Jiashu’s. You Xin’s hand isn’t that big!】
【I think it’s You Xin. Duan Jiashu is such a serious person. How can he have this kind of Weibo account? Only You Xin can act so much like this!】
【Xin Xin can’t be so shameless. What’s the full account name of XXX Every Day? Xin Xin has thin skin. I think only the cheeky Duan Jiashu can do this!】
【What kind of pot did you throw in front of us? Our Duan laoshi only had acting in mind. How could he have these messy thoughts? Obviously, only You Xin, who is experienced in selling CP, would do such a thing! I think maybe he broke the news that he was going to lose his skin, and our Duan couldn’t agree to marry him!】
【I think what you said earlier is the opposite. Everyone knows that Duan Jiashu is more active than our Xin Xin! He often eats tofu! Who can’t help but break the news? Do you still want to think about it? Duan fans really can tell the landlord that he only has acting in mind. I think he broke our Xin Xin and took the road of no return!】
【Mother of God, Duan fans and You fans are quarrelling because someone opened the discussion on the JiaXin topic! Is this the default for you to-be in-laws? I want to take a group photo as a souvenir 23333】
【group photo + 1】
【group photo + 2】

Landlord: what’s gone wrong with this building? Oh, my God, but that “Duan laoshi and Xin Xin have XXX Every Day” is really interesting. The Weibo content is enough for me to laugh for a few days 2333. Everyone hurry and look. If it’s really You Xin or Duan Jiashu’s side account, and now that the blogger is going to lose his skin, go screenshot immediately 23333

【go now!】
【go to screenshot immediately!】 hgxum0

After seeing this post, You Xin also checked the blogger on Weibo. After checking the account’s page, You Xin raised his head and squinted at Duan Jiashu, “Duan Jiashu, in addition to opening a fan account in the CP circle, did you also open a Weibo side account?”

Duan Jiashu blinked and immediately denied. “No, I didn’t break the news.”

“So it’s not you?” You Xin looked at the other suspiciously. Then, Duan Jiashu spoke in a serious way. “I just want to show my love so much, so I opened a side account to record our love life. Don’t worry, no one will recognize me. They say I’m YY every day. It doesn’t matter if they find me. I won’t admit it! Xin Xin, don’t worry.”

You Xin: … R4NBdr

Don’t worry, my arse! You Xin’s heart roared. How does he feel that he married (crossed out) such a non-human!

Translator's Note

“eating tofu” is a way of saying that someone is taking advantage of another person (usually sexual)
