AHFAFTGTTT Chapter 2

Chapter 2: Live Stream – Whose Gufeng Boyfriend.

“Hiss…”

Xu Chengyue’s lower back hit the desk, and he stumbled, nearly losing his balance.

“What are you faking? I didn’t even use any force.”

Fu Yang found his affected posture amusing. What was he acting for? A grown man wasn’t a porcelain doll that would shatter with a touch.

Xu Chengyue’s brows were tightly furrowed. He supported himself on the desk with a hand behind him, his pair of light-colored eyes looking at him seriously. “Shangguan, whether you used force or not, casually pushing others is wrong. Please apologize to me.”

“Me, apologize to you?”

Fu Yang felt an absurd sense of being framed. One of his legs was still bent under the quilt, while the other was already on the floor. He said in a very bold posture, “Not in this lifetime!”

These harsh words were delivered with such emphasis that even his index finger, pointing at the other person, moved with cadence. Paired with his rather disdainful expression, he was simply more arrogant than the Monkey King in the Water Curtain Cave.

“How come you… suddenly seem like a different person?”

Xu Chengyue opposite him had doubt in his eyes, but upon careful thought, it wasn’t strange. In his memory, Shangguan’s personality was inherently gloomy and eccentric; no one knew what he was thinking. Perhaps today, he just happened to be in a bad mood.

Xu Chengyue had only asked subconsciously, but Fu Yang, hearing this, reined himself in slightly.

He still didn’t understand the situation clearly. He had transmigrated into Shangguan Yaoguang’s body, so Shangguan Yaoguang might have transmigrated into his. He needed to keep as low a profile as possible, maintain Shangguan Yaoguang’s persona; maybe there was still hope to switch back.

Conversely, if he was exposed and captured for human experimentation, that would be terrible…

Having conducted experiments in the lab for several years, he really didn’t want to become the subject of experiments.

“Hurry up. You’ve already missed many group activities, and the fans have been protesting. It’s fine if you just sit there and don’t talk.”

Just as Xu Chengyue urged him, Fu Yang found an out. He went along with it, lifted the quilt, and obediently got up. He thought about Shangguan Yaoguang’s persona: within the group, he was a quiet, transparent person. It should be quite easy to act.

Speak less, make fewer mistakes. Just speaking less would be fine.

“Do I need to change clothes? What about styling?” After asking this, he pressed his lips together tightly.

Xu Chengyue looked at him intently. The young man was wearing a loose, black, long-sleeved loungewear set. The soft fabric clung to his body but didn’t look tight.

The sweatshirt’s collar was slightly open, revealing a small section of his fair neck, adding a touch of casual unruliness. It was originally a very simple silhouette, but his 187cm height made it look quite avant-garde.

The most crucial thing was his eyes.

His slightly raised San Bai Yan eyes, previously listless and empty like a pool of stagnant water, were today sharp as a knife, exuding an unquestionable confidence, as if the whole world was under his control and no one could stop him.

Not unpleasant, but instead spirited and sharp-edged. At this moment, one hand was casually tucked into his pocket, and his slightly tilted posture seemed particularly lazy and relaxed, as if he were about to shoot a high-fashion spread in the next second.

“Quite handsome. No need to change.”

Fu Yang walked to the full-length mirror and compared his height. Not very satisfied, he muttered in a low voice, “Tsk, handsome my foot. I’m shorter.”

“Aren’t you 1.87 meters? And that’s still short?”

A question suddenly came from behind him, startling Fu Yang.

“Damn, you can even hear that?”

“I was born with good hearing.” Xu Chengyue smiled shyly, the corners of his mouth curving up.

Fu Yang’s “speak less” strategy was completely broken in less than five seconds. He decided to just go all out and said, “I… was originally 1.9 meters.”

“I’ve never heard of someone getting shorter after a night’s sleep.” Xu Chengyue tilted his head in confusion.

“That’s because you’re ignorant.” Fu Yang pouted, smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes at his waist, and suddenly discovered a terrible fact—

“Ah! My abs are gone! My eight-pack!”

He hadn’t been this distressed even when he found out he had transmigrated. It was truly heartbreaking that the abs he had worked so hard to get were just gone. Fu Yang squatted down, clutched his stomach, and wailed.

This made Xu Chengyue, who was standing aside, laugh. He had always thought Shangguan had a naturally world-weary face and always sported thick dark circles under his eyes as if he hadn’t slept enough, making him look gloomy. His original ten-out-of-ten looks were diminished by three points because of it.

Today, however, he seemed like a different person, much more lively, and… quite good, actually.

“Get up, I’ll blow-dry your hair for you.” Xu Chengyue bent down and gazed at this younger member who was willing to speak a few more words to him today. His heart filled with relief, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t stop curving upwards.

In the past, Shangguan would take a detour whenever he saw him, and never said more than three sentences to him a day. Today, he had said so many things to him!

“Blow-dry what hair? I think you’re just laughing at me.”

Fu Yang currently still didn’t have a good impression of Xu Chengyue and didn’t want to interact with him. So, he took the hairdryer himself and quickly ruffled his hair a couple of times.

He pushed back his bangs, which were originally long enough to cover his eyes, revealing his sharp brow bone. His eyebrows arched slightly, exuding an unruly air. “This should be fine.”

Xu Chengyue thought it looked pretty good and gave him another look. He pushed open the door and walked towards the living room. Their live stream today was in the dorm, so they didn’t need very elaborate styling; everyone was dressed relatively casually.

This was a large flat with 3 bedrooms and 1 living room. There were 5 people in the group; two shared each room, and the one left over lived in the small study.

A small Flop Band that hadn’t become popular even after three years since their debut only received this kind of treatment.

Fu Yang followed behind Xu Chengyue, observing as he walked. It seemed Shangguan Yaoguang lived alone in the converted small study. He didn’t know who the other four shared rooms with.

He also thought about the video under the trending topic, edited by Ye Xiao’s fans, titled “Xu Chengyue Bullies the Entire Group: A True Record”…

Anyway, the person who lived with Xu Chengyue must have had it rough.

Fu Yang sized up the back of the person in front of him.

This rival, wasn’t short, official height 184cm, the ends of his hair were slightly long, resting softly on his neck. Luckily, his neck was long, fair, and slender enough to pull off this “killer” length hairstyle.

Further down, his waist was ridiculously thin…

Fu Yang paused. This small frame, could it be he really did hit him just now?

Impossible, right? Xu Chengyue usually looked smiley and nice to everyone, but in the end, wasn’t he still snatching Ye Xiao’s lines behind his back, not a single true word in his mouth.

Right, Ye Xiao.

Fu Yang finally found the only happy thing after transmigrating: he could see Ye Xiao. This could also be considered an alternative way of successfully chasing his idol. Xie Wanwan, that little brat, would be envious to death of him.

Thinking of this, Fu Yang prepared to ask Xu Chengyue about Ye Xiao’s matters.

Just as he bent down, he again smelled that faint, elusive gardenia scent.

It smelled quite good. Truly scheming.

Xu Chengyue felt the breath behind his ear. When he turned around, he didn’t expect Fu Yang to be so close; their noses brushed.

The young man instantly recoiled eight meters away— “You- why did you suddenly turn around…”

“I felt like you had something to say to me.” Xu Chengyue blinked, rubbing his nose with his finger. Seeing such a big reaction, he said hesitantly, “Sorry. How about… you bump me back?”

Fu Yang looked down and met those clear eyes. For a moment, he didn’t know how to react. He could only wipe his nose in disgust, considering himself unlucky, and put the recent accident behind him. He asked, “Ye Xiao will come, right?”

Hearing this name, the friendly smile that Xu Chengyue always wore on his face suddenly vanished.

His long eyelashes drooped slightly, hiding the obscure emotions in his eyes. He turned and strode forward, only replying after a few seconds:

“He had something come up last minute, so Sister An asked me to find you. Otherwise, if too many people are missing, the impact wouldn’t be good.”

Hearing such a vague answer, Fu Yang, as a fan representative, was the first to be dissatisfied.

He chased after him and asked in a slightly interrogative tone, “Why isn’t he coming? You didn’t say anything on your Weibo.”

“Did you bully him again?” He held this sentence back at the tip of his tongue, not saying it out loud.

From the information he got online and Xie Wanwan’s feedback, Xu Chengyue always pretended to be gentle and soft, but he was actually a “smiling tiger”—someone who wouldn’t even blink when stabbing you in the back.

Seeing him today, he was indeed extraordinary, truly unfathomable. Even he was almost fooled by this harmless appearance!

Because they were dawdling, by the time Xu Chengyue and Fu Yang arrived, the live stream had already started.

A team has quite a few operations staff; there were five or six people off-camera. The decisive and efficient-looking woman in the middle, wearing a white coat, should be the agent Li An. She was waving her hand for them to quickly take their seats.

The other two members were sitting on the sofa, facing the screen and warming up the atmosphere.

Zhou Qingqing was the group’s main vocalist. It was said he used to perform traditional Chinese opera and had a great Gufeng voice; his Xiqiang was superb. He also maintained this persona, often wearing neo-Chinese style clothes. Just like now, he held a folding fan with a bamboo leaf pattern, looking gentle and refined—like jade from Mount Jishi, pines arrayed like kingfisher feathers. A uniquely handsome young master, unparalleled in the world.

The other was named Hao Yun. True to his name, he was very lucky, the group’s rapper. He had dyed red hair, wore a bandana and a row of earrings, and was dressed very fashionably. The intricate chains on his clothes jingled. At first glance, he looked hard to mess with, but when he smiled, two small canine teeth would show, somewhat weakening his aggressive look.

Seeing them arrive, the two stood up to make space.

Xu Chengyue, as the leader, naturally sat in the middle.

Fu Yang had just arrived in an unfamiliar environment. Although he didn’t like Xu Chengyue, he was slightly more familiar with him than anyone else there, so he sat next to him.

Thus, Hao Yun sat next to Xu Chengyue on the far left, and Zhou Qingqing sat on the far right.

The live stream had already begun, and densely packed bullet comments of various colors scrolled across.

Xu Chengyue raised a smile and formally began, “Hello, all you Little Sparks, good morning! We are—”

He clenched his fists and then spread his fingers, making a gesture like an exploding firework. Hao Yun and Zhou Qingqing immediately followed suit, shouting in unison, “Spark!”

Fu Yang, caught in the middle, was taken by surprise and fumbled to follow the gesture.

His “firework” had just “exploded” when the other three had already neatly lowered their hands. It could be said… there was absolutely no coordination.

Just then, the operations staff placed another oversized screen in front of them, so that every bullet comment could be seen very clearly.

[What’s the Crown Prince doing? Been too long since he left the imperial palace, forgotten the slogan completely?]

[Which Gold-Plating Bigshot did he go accompany again? Came on with dark circles unconcealed.]

[Shangguan Yaoguang, I’m truly impressed. I also want to slack off like this at work.]

[Xu Chengyue respond to the bullying incident truth! Xu Chengyue respond to the bullying incident truth! Xu Chengyue respond to the bullying incident truth!!!!]

[Give an explanation for the line distribution incident! Galaxy Entertainment go bankrupt!!!]

[Xu Chengyue apologize to Ye Xiao!! Xu Chengyue apologize to Ye Xiao!! Xu Chengyue apologize to Ye Xiao!!]

It wasn’t just curses aimed at Fu Yang; all sorts of unbearable insults filled the screen, mainly targeting Xu Chengyue.

The members on either side looked towards Xu Chengyue. Hao Yun’s worry was visible to the naked eye. Zhou Qingqing, fan in hand, awkwardly kept fanning.

Meanwhile, Fu Yang’s mind was wandering… trying to guess which of the cursing comments in the bullet barrage was from his cousin.

This Xu Chengyue’s mental fortitude was quite strong. He was completely unaffected by being hit with a point-blank “ultimate attack” of curses and even continued to host this album promotion live stream.

“Our Spark’s album this time,” Xu Chengyue continued, “has a very different style from before, with significant breakthroughs in various aspects. For example, this time’s title track, ‘Po Jun’…”

However, the bullet comments weren’t buying it; they were all spamming Ye Xiao’s name in purple.

Purple was Ye Xiao’s official fan color.

“Ah, Brother Xiao, he has other schedule commitments that came up unexpectedly,” Xu Chengyue paused to respond. He then glanced at the agent behind the live stream camera and continued with a smile, “We’ll connect with Brother Xiao later via video call, so everyone can look forward to it, okay?”

Xu Chengyue was experienced. After placating them with a few words, he lightly brushed the matter aside.

Agent An nodded and turned to have the operations team clear a wave of bullet comments.

The two coordinated seamlessly. Indeed, after this two-pronged approach, the screen became much cleaner, and comments from group fans slowly began to appear.

[Guangguang combed his hair up today, eh? So handsome!]

[Still the melancholic Qingqing today. He looked even more melancholic after seeing those toxic solo stan comments just now.]

[Hao Yun cutie too, so scared his little canine teeth retracted… *whimper*..]

[Little Captain Chengyue got slated so badly today (hugs)]

[Exactly! It’s just a few lines; Brother Xiao doesn’t even care. I don’t know what *they* are arguing about??]

[Does anyone know what Brother Xiao went to do? We Little Fireworks haven’t seen them live stream *together* for so long… (crying loudly)]

[No idea. It’s been a month, and his schedule hasn’t been made public.]

[Did anyone notice Guangguang is especially dominant/alpha today? Usually, he likes to sit in the corner, but today he’s sitting next to Little Captain! (starry eyes)]

[Previously, Guangguang with long bangs covering his eyes had a gloomy, sickly yandere vibe. Today he’s super handsome! His aura is so bking!]

“Brother Yaoguang, everyone’s praising you, hey!”

The red-haired rapper had now recovered his lively and cheerful demeanor. He yelled in his loud voice, revealing his two small canine teeth, stirring up the atmosphere.

Xu Chengyue said with a smile, “Shangguan is indeed very handsome today, oh, but he’s usually very handsome too.”

Zhou Qingqing, fanning his folding fan, said, “Like Mount Jishi of jade, with pines arrayed like kingfisher feathers. A young master uniquely handsome, second to none in the world.”

Fu Yang, a pure science student, was completely bewildered listening to this. “What’s he saying?”

Hao Yun giggled, “He’s praising you for being handsome.”

Fu Yang: …Whose Gufeng boyfriend.

[Shipping it, shipping it! Our Qing Yun is indeed a power ship! I understand you with just one look.]

[Our Qing Yun is truly so shippable! Older artistic youth doting seme × younger athletic student energetic uke! They’re even senior-junior from the same school, a well-matched pair, childhood sweethearts! I say Qing Yun, get married! (sends rose)]

“…So it’s yours.”

Fu Yang had heard his cousin say that Spark had quite a few CPs, but he didn’t know much about the others. He only knew about the Ye Yue CP, which he had stumbled upon while watching Ye Xiao’s videos by chance.

The title read—

#C-Ent’s Most Amazing CP Chemistry! Battlefield Roses, a love-hate parent-like love story. Let us love secretly in the Night#

Fu Yang had conveniently reported it at the time. Reason for reporting: Pornographic and vulgar / Suspected fraud / Content causes discomfort / False and untrue content. Every time it was uploaded, he would be there to report it.

Later, he heard that the dilibili video blogger had featured him on their main page and cursed him out for sixty minutes—ten times longer than the CP video itself.

So these two were also a thing… What kind of gay group was this.

[What’s Shangguan looking at? Did he see the bullet comment just posted by the Qing Yun shippers? Hahaha]

[Everyone’s starting to ship openly now, huh? Xing Yue CP fans get a secret little treat today!]

[Who gets it? Sitting with Little Captain is a double visual attack! I’m dying from how charming it is!]

[Even Xing Yue, a super unpopular ship within the group, has shippers. You guys must be really desperate.]

[Previously, it was indeed just average, but today they match exceptionally well.]

Fu Yang, somewhat intrigued, leaned closer to look at the bullet comments on the screen and suddenly asked, “And who is this Xing Yue CP?”
