ATPN Chapter 41

## Chapter 41: Fanboy

The next day, once again gloriously elected the champion of staying up late, Yu Zhanrong woke up with dark circles under his eyes at one in the afternoon. He stretched and yawned as he got out of bed to wash up.

Last night, he had been arguing with an idiot until dawn. If that idiot hadn’t admitted defeat in the end, he could have continued the battle for three hundred more rounds.

Today was Saturday. Liu Yi went to play ball, and Yang You was away all day for club activities, leaving only Tang Wei, the super-studious academic, in the dorm.

The sound of him getting out of bed disturbed Tang Wei, who was immersed in knowledge.

He put down his pen, leaned back in his chair, and glanced at Yu Zhanrong, whose hair was messy and eyes barely open. “Liu Yi said in the group chat that a new hotpot restaurant opened nearby. Are you going tonight, Fish?”

“I have to go back to the apartment to stream tonight, so I can’t go,” Yu Zhanrong said, yawning. Tears welled up in his eyes from exhaustion as he went to wash up.

Tang Wei nodded and replied to Liu Yi’s message in the group chat.

“What time did you sleep last night? You’re so tired?”

Yu Zhanrong gargled, then spat out the water with a “poof,” replying, “I’m not sure, probably around three or four.”

?

Arguing until three or four in the morning?

Tang Wei’s gaze uncontrollably drifted towards Yu Zhanrong’s head. Being angry and staying up late, how could his hair withstand that kind of abuse?

“Who were you arguing with last night?” Tang Wei asked curiously. Seeing his fierce look last night, he really wanted to know who had provoked him.

“Someone on the forum, a… well, an idiot who has no real ability and only dares to show off online.”

The other party’s combat power wasn’t great, and they even started trying to poach him towards the end.

He was a Song Baiyan die-hard fan, how could he be poached? Absolutely delusional.

“Ah? Did they insult you?”

Not really, they insulted his idol, which was much more serious than insulting him personally.

He wouldn’t say that. Tang Wei was very perceptive, and he would notice the slightest hint. So, he mumbled an “Mm.”

Yu Zhanrong often appeared on the forum, so Tang Wei didn’t suspect anything.

“Oh, right, what’s the name of that broadcast drama you said you were doing voice acting for? Is it online yet? Where can I listen to it?”

Yu Zhanrong stopped brushing his teeth and spat out the foam. “You want to listen?”

“Just want to show some support.”

Yu Zhanrong turned back and continued brushing, honestly, letting his roommate listen to his stream was brave enough, and listening to the broadcast drama would be a bit embarrassing.

“The broadcast drama has been online for a while, my parts are all…” Yu Zhanrong said, “This is my first time doing voice acting…”

Tang Wei laughed. “No way, are you shy?”

“Fish, this isn’t like your style online. You’re so fierce in the stream, are you weak now?” Tang Wei teased, raising an eyebrow.

Yu Zhanrong puffed out his chest and gritted his teeth. “Who’s weak? The GuangLe platform, the broadcast drama ‘Qing Cheng Road,’ welcome to listen.”

“It only updates once a week? That’s so slow,” Tang Wei searched for the title and was confused by the update speed. “Which episode are you in?”

“I think it’s around the eighth episode,” Yu Zhanrong thought for a moment. “The tenth episode too, there are more extras.”

Tang Wei: “…”

It’s only updated to the tenth episode now.

“How many episodes are there in total?”

“Twenty.”

He originally felt a bit embarrassed, but after actually saying it, he didn’t feel it anymore. Yu Zhanrong recommended it to him. “This drama is pretty good, the novel was also very popular before. You can listen to it while reading it, it’s worth it.”

Tang Wei waved his hand repeatedly. “I can’t watch it now. It’s not finished yet. If I get hooked, it’ll be painful waiting for updates.”

“I’ll wait until it’s finished, one episode a week, wouldn’t that make me lose my appetite?”

“Hahahaha, then do you not follow serialized novels either?”

“Serialized novels are okay, at least the authors update them every day.”

“The novel of ‘Qing Cheng Road’ is finished, you can read it first, it’s very interesting.”

Yu Zhanrong changed his clothes and noticed a cup on his desk. He craned his neck to look inside. There were only two people in the room, and he looked at Tang Wei.

“What is this black sludge?”

Tang Wei glanced at his hair and said worriedly, “Black sesame paste, eat more, it’s good for you.”

Yu Zhanrong stirred it with a spoon, it was a sticky mess, and he had no desire to eat it at all.

“What’s it good for? Growing hair?” Yu Zhanrong touched his hair, then looked at Tang Wei’s hairline.

“I can’t eat this stuff, you eat it yourself,” he said, glancing at Tang Wei’s head. “Replenish it, you seem to need it more, studying math takes more brainpower.”

Tang Wei: “…”

He felt attacked.

In the afternoon, Song Baiyan and Fang Jingtong were coding in the studio. The takeout had just arrived, and they were about to eat when Fang Jingtong suddenly went crazy and kept laughing while holding his phone.

Song Baiyan was too lazy to pay attention to him, but this guy was laughing too loudly.

“Hahahahahaha, this person is amazing.”

“…” Song Baiyan couldn’t bear it anymore and put down his chopsticks. “Are you going to eat or not? If not, continue working!”

“Eat, eat, eat, hahahaha.”

Song Baiyan: “…”

Fang Jingtong picked up his chopsticks, eating while looking at his phone, not willing to take his eyes off it. Song Baiyan frowned and quietly sat a little further away.

It was a bit dangerous to be face-to-face.

After reading the entire post, Fang Jingtong put down his phone and said to Song Baiyan with envy, “Your little fan is too awesome, their fighting power is really strong!”

Song Baiyan: “?”

Speak human!

“There’s someone on the forum spreading rumors that you’re cheating on multiple people, saying you have no ability, and then your super little fan came out and fought that person for three hundred rounds, going crazy!”

“I looked at the time, and they were still fighting at four in the morning. The style changed to that person desperately trying to poach you, and that little fan’s love for you is unwavering. I’m going to laugh to death.”

“And that little fan knows all about your glorious deeds, even knowing that you won first place in some English competition in your freshman year.”

Fang Jingtong shook his head and took another bite of rice, continuing, “And the winning position in the debate competition, the top scorer in the college entrance examination, etc., a whole bunch of things. I guess you’ve forgotten many of them yourself.”

Song Baiyan wasn’t very interested in this kind of thing, but he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows in surprise when he heard this, without saying a word.

He suddenly remembered that there was a child who was probably also his fan, and his understanding of him was also quite unusual, and he often pretended not to know him in front of him.

“Amazing, right? That girl babbled on and on, leaving people speechless.” Fang Jingtong gave a thumbs up. “Awesome.”

Song Baiyan slowly drank a mouthful of soup before lightly replying, “How do you know it’s a girl, maybe it’s a fanboy?”

“Huh?”

It wasn’t impossible, male fans were also quite crazy these days.

Fang Jingtong picked up his phone with his left hand and opened the profile of r.

“?… How did they hide their information? But this person really likes you, every post they’ve made is about you, tsk tsk, true fan.”

Song Baiyan glanced at it, only seeing one line, everything else was blank.

[Nickname: r.]

Probably a smurf.
