    Chapter 10: CP “I’m willing to form a CP with Xu Chengyue.”

    “I refuse.”

    Fu Yang said decisively.

    Although he had decided not to disrupt Shangguan Yaoguang’s life before he found a way to go back, and not to bring personal emotions into his work.

    In any case, he had to be responsible for this person’s body.

    Judging from Shangguan Yaoguang’s willingness to be a ghostwriter for Spark before, he cared a lot about this group.

    Although he didn’t like Xu Chengyue, he couldn’t let his personal emotions affect the group’s development.

    But! This doesn’t mean he can accept forming a CP with his bias’s rival.

    Even if Fu Yang dies and jumps from here, he will never have anything to do with Xu Chengyue!

    The flag was planted right there.

    “I firmly refuse.” He repeated.

    However—no one cared about his opinion at all.

    Zhou Qingqing and Hao Yun were already discussing enthusiastically—

    “What kind of persona should the leader and Yaoguang go with? Judging from that photo… Neighborly big brother vs. rebellious younger brother, how about that? This kind of CP is super popular these days. I’m watching a passionate anime, and a lot of girls are shipping it.”

    Zhou Qingqing gave Hao Yun a knock on the head. “Crap.”

    Hao Yun clutched his head and said angrily, “Then what good idea do you have? Young Master Zhou.”

    Zhou Qingqing’s gaze fell on Xu Chengyue’s face, and he stroked his chin and pondered, “These two with such a vibe should take the most cliché old path, ‘older sister/younger dog’ is always timeless, the audience is huge.”

    “You’re even more crap! Crap of crap, so cliché!” After Hao Yun complained, he turned to look at a man in the corner filled with gloom, and comforted him, “Yaoguang, you don’t actually have to care that much. We’re not really gay, it’s just that fans like to watch, so we just act for them. You don’t even have to act that much, just interact normally. I argue with Zhou Qingqing every day and a lot of people like to watch it. The management will help us create personas and selling points, and the fans are happily shipping it. They spend money on us, and we provide them with emotional value. Isn’t that a win-win?”

    “I… re… fuse.”

    Fu Yang didn’t speak, only refusing stubbornly.

    But he didn’t expect that the only one who cared about his opinion was the person he was rejecting.

    Xu Chengyue spoke up to mediate, “Li An, Spark has been debuted for three years, the fan circle is already stable, forming a CP is not very beneficial for long-term development.”

    “Spark’s fan circle is too stable, a pool of stagnant water.” When it came to serious matters, Li An was never ambiguous, and her words were sharp, “Ye Xiao’s fans alone account for half of the entire group. You know better than I do how he got to where he is today. You’re not rookies, you’ve been in the entertainment industry for so long, I don’t need to tell you how important CPs are. After you had that incident a year ago, the entire group protected him alone. How much effort did the company put into creating a persona for him, those titles like ‘Inner Entertainment Alpha,’ ‘Inner Entertainment Top,’ and ‘Golden Melon’ were all created because of CPs. The entire group supported him to get to his popularity today. And now? He’s grown wings as soon as he’s refined his fans. He refuses to sing even two lines of lyrics, and he’s not participating in the comeback album. If this continues, this group is completely finished!”

    As a fan, Fu Yang didn’t like hearing these words and retorted, “Ye Xiao has achieved his current success because of his strength, okay? Li An, you don’t have to tear down others just to achieve your goals, right?”

    Of course, Ye Xiao had his reasons for not coming back.

    Galaxy Entertainment provided such poor conditions and resources, and there was also Xu Chengyue, who was targeting him everywhere in the team. Only a fool would come back.

    Li An gave Fu Yang a look as if he were an idiot, then turned to Xu Chengyue, “Chengyue, I’m even too lazy to say more to others, but I know you understand where Spark’s current predicament lies. Today’s trending search is clearly a very good opportunity to break the situation.”

    Xu Chengyue hesitated. The development of this trending search was certainly a pleasant surprise. If they could seize it, Spark might reach a higher stage. But he glanced at Fu Yang, who was full of resistance, and gave up.

    “Spark doesn’t need anyone’s sacrifice. If we have to go against the members’ wishes to reach a higher position, then even if the fireworks bloom, it’s meaningless.”

    Being firmly rejected, Li An didn’t panic. She clearly knew that the team members were Xu Chengyue’s weakness, but at the same time, she also knew what Xu Chengyue wanted most. Xu Chengyue was a smart person, but he would believe her every time she drew a big cake on one thing.

    She coughed and felt a little embarrassed to trick people like this every time. She softly coaxed, “CP fans are an indispensable and important source of income for boy groups. The company said that if this album sells well, they will give you a group variety show, and after the group variety show, a concert will probably not be far away…”

    Sure enough, when he heard the words “concert,” Xu Chengyue’s eyes lit up, and he stood up with a “swish.” “I’ll call Ye Xiao back, you can continue to promote my CP with him.”

    He wouldn’t let others do things they didn’t want to do for a little profit, but he could think of another strategy.

    With Ye Xiao? Li An’s mind turned. With Ye Xiao, that would also work, it would be even better.

    If she could call Ye Xiao back, she wouldn’t have to worry about sales, and she could also make him spit out the blood he had sucked before.

    Fu Yang on the side: ???

    How did the damage suddenly transfer to his idol?

    “No.” Fu Yang immediately interrupted, “You and Ye Xiao can’t be together.”

    Hao Yun interjected in his spare time, “Yaoguang, you sound like an evil mother-in-law.”

    Li An forcibly suppressed her anger and slammed the table, “This won’t work, that won’t work. Shangguan Yaoguang, what exactly do you want to do?”

    Fu Yang sighed. Heaven is about to give a great mission to this person.

    Let him bear this kind of harm for his idol.

    “I’m willing, is that okay?”

    Interesting. Zhou Qingqing put down his phone, slightly raised the corner of his mouth, and deliberately asked, “You’re willing to what?”

    “I’m willing to form a CP with Xu Chengyue.” Fu Yang said, gritting his teeth, “Stop nagging.”

    “Not forced?”

    “Not… forced.”

    The flag that had been established for less than 5 minutes collapsed.

    Zhou Qingqing clapped his hands, “Okay, the matter is resolved. Li An, walk slowly, don’t send you off.”

    “You could have said so earlier, wasting so much of my breath.” Li An glared at Fu Yang and turned to Xu Chengyue, “But Ye Xiao, you still have to call him back.”

    Xu Chengyue nodded and said, “I’ll try my best.”

    As he spoke, he clicked on his phone and edited a text message.

    “What exactly is he doing so mysteriously?” Li An frowned. Ye Xiao didn’t know which big shot he had gotten close to, and had spent a lot of money to sign away his personal contract. So, legally speaking, Ye Xiao was no longer under the jurisdiction of Galaxy Entertainment. But the group contract was still there, so he needed to show up for group activities. But the company had been urging him again and again, but he hadn’t moved at all. Xu Chengyue’s words were more effective.

    “He’s filming a movie.” Xu Chengyue paused and said, “Director Zhao Qian’s.”

    “Zhao Qian?” Hearing this name, Li An sneered, “I said long ago that he would go down this path. You helped him so painstakingly. In the end… you’d call that backstabbing, right?”

    “Chengyue, the one I was most optimistic about since trainee days was you, but you have a fatal flaw, you’re too soft-hearted. Let me give you a piece of advice, take care of yourself more.”

    Xu Chengyue lowered his eyes and didn’t say anything.

    The other three people were gathered together, and their style was completely different from this side. They were almost grabbing a handful of melon seeds to crack.

    Hao Yun was playing a game with his fingers flying, “What are the leader and Li An talking about again? I can’t understand it at all.”

    Zhou Qingqing was holding his phone and concentrating on reading a novel, and replied in his spare time, “I don’t know. They’re always so unfathomable.”

    Hao Yun worried, “Don’t they start arguing again.”

    Zhou Qingqing’s eyes never moved from the phone screen and opened his mouth and said, “No, Li An cares about face. If they want to quarrel, they won’t quarrel in the cafeteria. And the lipstick she’s wearing today is milk tea color. After my precise statistics of her quarrel frequency, I found that she will put on bright red color before each quarrel, today there is no touch-up, so, rest assured.”

    Fu Yang: “…”

    Why did these two oddballs get mixed into this team? It seemed that only Xu Chengyue and Ye Xiao were seriously working in this group.

    “I ask you, why would Ye Xiao go to film a movie? Who forced him to go?”

    Fu Yang asked this for a reason, because Ye Xiao once said in a program that he would never give up the stage, and his label was the number one idol in the inner entertainment industry.

    Because he was busy filming a movie, he didn’t participate in the comeback album’s song and dance stage, which was really a bit incredible.

    For an idol, there is nothing more important than a comeback, right?

    To put it more exaggeratedly, if Ye Xiao was really filming a movie during this period, then that was a real collapse of his persona, which made his maintenance a joke.

    “Who can force our Xiao Emperor, he is the big brother, except for Li An, I am most afraid of him.” Hao Yun was a bigmouth, and he said everything when asked, “He doesn’t like to talk to us, and he doesn’t like to play with us, only the leader has the best relationship with him. But recently the two of them… almost fought, there was a crackling sound in the room, cough, I accidentally heard it, ha.”

    Zhou Qingqing exposed him, “You were obviously lying on the door and listening on purpose.”

    Since he was exposed, Hao Yun finally couldn’t hold back, and called the two of them closer.

    Li An and Xu Chengyue were talking about serious matters, while on the other side, three small heads were gathered together, talking about small things.

    “Zhao Qian. The one the leader beat up a year ago. The incident wasn’t widely spread at first, but it was this old bastard who bought the black material and the water army and has been blackening the leader until now.”

    Zhou Qingqing was slightly surprised, “So it was him.”

    “So I guess that Zhao Qian has a feud with the leader, and Xiao Emperor went to him to film a movie, so they fought. I don’t mean to be biased towards anyone, but Xiao Emperor is really not brotherly enough.”

    Fu Yang questioned, “Are you sure that Ye Xiao took the initiative to go to this director to film a movie?”

    “I don’t know, but he did run out a lot last month, and didn’t come home at night… the leader and him are in the same room, so the leader must know the most clearly, I’m just guessing, don’t take it as the truth.” Hao Yun waved his hands repeatedly, then lowered his voice a little disappointed and said, “But no matter whether this thing is true or false, I always feel that Xiao Emperor doesn’t care much about our small flop band.”

    Fu Yang took a deep breath, and vaguely felt that his known worldview had been disordered.

    For the first time, he had doubts.

    Xu Chengyue was not quite the same as he had imagined, and Ye Xiao… seemed to be not quite the same either.

    Which of the two of them is right and which is wrong?

    Is the “truth” that I learned on the Internet really the “truth”?

    Fu Yang inexplicably felt a little uneasy and flustered in his heart.

    Seeing is believing, hearing is not. It seems that everything needs to be judged after he sees Ye Xiao in person.

    The four of them finished lunch, rested for a while, and returned to the practice room to start practicing the formation together.

    Fu Yang stood behind Xu Chengyue and seriously sized him up for the first time without prejudice.

    This person’s neck was very beautiful, and sweat dripped down his collarbone and into his clothes.

    Slender, long, fragile like a white swan, it seemed like it would break with a pinch.

    Bullying.

    Was it possible?

    Then, following the dance moves, he touched the slightly desolate butterfly bones in front. The two bodies that had just danced intensely were close together, his hand gently touching his cheek. Xu Chengyue was as beautiful as a blooming Judas tree, and it seemed that anyone who came into contact with him would be unable to help but be captivated.

    Without exaggeration, his appearance conformed to everyone’s aesthetics.

    If it hadn’t been for the beating incident a year ago, maybe his development would have been better than Ye Xiao’s now.

    So what exactly happened between him and Zhao Qian a year ago? Is it related to Ye Xiao?

    Feeling the beating of the other person’s neck and shoulder pulse, Fu Yang’s fingers trembled slightly, and the next second he suddenly let go.

    Xu Chengyue was completely unaware, panting slightly, and concentrating on perfecting the dance details: “You came up too slowly just now, and you let go too quickly at the end. Hold the ending pose for a little longer.”

    Fu Yang tried again very seriously. He was slightly taller than Xu Chengyue, and from the mirror, he looked a circle bigger than him when he was standing behind him.

    Although he knew that this newly added action was to promote the CP, he had to say that it was very exciting and too erotic. Galaxy Entertainment’s resources were terribly bad, but they had a set of tricks for doing these things.

    Suddenly, the door of the dance studio was pushed open, and a tall figure walked in.

    The four of them looked at the door in unison.

    Ye Xiao was wearing a mask, a cold black coat, and was a bit travel-worn. His eagle-like sharp gaze scanned around, and finally, his gaze landed on Fu Yang and Xu Chengyue, who were closely attached to each other’s upper bodies—

    “What’s wrong, not welcome me?”
