ATPN Chapter 31
by Volare[Everyone, it’s fine to have fun and joke around, but don’t affect my family’s little one. The big boss is really spoiling him.]
[……Since the big boss came out of his little dark room, his fatherly aura is so strong. Is that really okay?]
[The big boss isn’t wrong, though. Our Yuer is only just an adult. Knowing too many messy things will definitely affect him.]
[Can the top spender even control what others comment? That’s going too far.]
[It’s just some gossip; you’re making a mountain out of a molehill.]
[Exactly! It’s ridiculous. What does someone else saying gossip have to do with him? Why is he making such a big deal out of it? Speechless.]
[My heart aches for the sister who left that comment.]
[No, no, don’t feel bad for me. Haiyan Heqing is right. I didn’t think things through. I immediately fed the gossip to Little Yuer when I heard it, forgetting that it would give him indigestion.]
Are the moderators dead or something?
Starry Eyes Don’t Blink was super fast, not even blinking, performing a series of actions to kick out those deliberately stirring up trouble in the live stream.
Amidst the dazzling barrage of comments criticizing Haiyan Heqing, Starry Eyes Don’t Blink was quick to react, but Yu Zhanrong still saw a few.
Besides showering him with gifts without saying a word, the top-spending big boss had also given him many ideas and reminded him and Starry Eyes Don’t Blink to be aware of potential risks. They had exchanged some words privately, and although he couldn’t say he knew him very well, he knew something about his personality.
Plus, Haiyan Heqing, like Song Baiyan, didn’t sleep well, so Yu Zhanrong felt more concerned for him.
He nestled in his chair, turning the milk tea cup in his hands: “Whether we’re speaking our minds or discussing things, don’t be sarcastic or insulting to others, and don’t argue.”
“New friends might not be familiar with Haiyan Heqing. He just speaks more directly, but he’s a good person. You’ll understand after a while. I reiterate, no insults allowed. Insulting people will be sent to the little dark room. And…”
“Heh~…”
A low chuckle sounded in his ear. Fang Jingtong’s hand, holding a wine glass, trembled, and he stiffly turned his head to see Song Baiyan’s lips curving into a faint smile.
“What are you laughing at? Struck by peach blossoms?”
Xu Yihang walked over from behind, just in time to hear Fang Jingtong’s words: “What peach blossoms?” He walked past them and sat down at the opposite booth, “Whose peach blossoms?”
Fang Jingtong raised his chin and pointed at Song Baiyan: “Did you see that? Smiling while holding his phone, so flirtatious!” After saying that, he rubbed his arms, “It’s giving me goosebumps.”
“Oh?” Xu Yihang became interested and gossiped: “Who’s so amazing that they’ve captured the only one among us who hasn’t been in a relationship?”
Most of them had been in relationships to some extent, but Song Baiyan always kept a straight face, seeming completely uninterested in dating.
When asked why he didn’t date, Song Baiyan would reply with two words: “Troublesome.”
Song Baiyan turned off his phone screen and faintly lifted his thin eyelids, saying without much expression: “No, just an interesting kid.”
“A kid, and you’re smiling so flirtatiously? Are you even human?”
Fang Jingtong’s expression was too meaningful, so Song Baiyan glanced at him and scolded with a smile: “Get lost!”
“How old is the kid?” He actually has someone. Xu Yihang was surprised. The last time they talked about this at the recording studio, nothing was happening.
“19.”
Xu Yihang: “…”
Fang Jingtong: “…”
Xu Yihang suddenly remembered something: “Wait, could it be—”
“What 19?” A low, male voice sounded, cutting off Xu Yihang’s words. Xu Yihang turned to see the person and swallowed the rest of his words.
The person who came had his hair combed meticulously. A well-tailored suit accentuated his tall, slender figure, his demeanor was calm and composed, and his eyes were sharp with the authority of someone in a high position.
His gaze softened when it reached the three people at the table, and a shallow smile appeared in his narrow eyes.
“Brother Xiao.” The three greeted in unison. Song Baiyan reached out, took off his earphones, and held them in his hand.
Liang Xiao waved his hand, took off his suit jacket and draped it over his arm, his other hand holding the back of the empty chair next to him.
“I heard you guys talking about some kid, 19 years old, what’s up?” Liang Xiao said, turning his gaze to Song Baiyan, his eyes containing a teasing smile, “Ah Yan is in love?”
“Not yet.” Song Baiyan turned his glass and told the truth, not taking his hidden probe to heart.
That was an interesting answer. Liang Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly, withdrew some of his gentleness, and smiled meaningfully: “Not yet? So there’s something going on?”
Song Baiyan wanted to deny it, but he didn’t say anything, taking it as a tacit admission.
Liang Xiao patted him on the shoulder, looked around, and asked: “Qin Xiao Si didn’t come? Aren’t the four of you always inseparable?”
As soon as the question came out, he saw Fang Jingtong winking and making faces with a smile, lowering his voice mysteriously: “I heard that Su Yi is returning to the country today, hehe~ definitely went to intercept him.”
“Your news is well-informed.”
“No, no, I just know a little bit about this kind of gossip.”
“That kid,” Liang Xiao chuckled softly. “Alright, I won’t disturb your little gathering. A Yu’s birthday is coming up in a while, come to the house to play, he’ll definitely be happy if you guys come!”
“Definitely, definitely.”
Liang Xiao’s eyes turned to Song Baiyan, and Song Baiyan nodded in response.
Xu Yihang saw Liang Xiao walk away before turning to Song Baiyan: “Liang Yu is still looking for you?”
“No wonder you didn’t deny it just now. Brother Xiao is good in every way, but he spoils his brother too much. Hopefully, he’ll rein Liang Yu in a bit after today?”
Song Baiyan didn’t commit, whether he reined him in or not didn’t really matter. It was just a gentle nudge.
Fang Jingtong wasn’t so optimistic. Liang Xiao simply couldn’t bring himself to discipline him, otherwise, he wouldn’t have let his brother chase after Song Baiyan for so many years.
“Forget it, let’s not talk about them.” Xu Yihang knew that Song Baiyan didn’t like to bring up Liang Yu. “Is the kid you were talking about just now the one you brought home last time?”
“What?!” Fang Jingtong felt like the sky was falling. What outrageous news! Song Baiyan brought someone home?
“You brought a kid home? To your own apartment? And two of them?”
Song Baiyan frowned and glared at him: “What are you yelling about? It’s not the same person.”
Xu Yihang: “……?”
Fang Jingtong: “???”
Are you even speaking human language? How could they not understand?
