ATPN Chapter 33
by VolareSomeone’s gaze swept over, indifferent and chilling. Tang Wei raised a hand and patted his mouth: “Just kidding, just kidding.”
Yu Zhanrong was depressed. He didn’t want to deal with these things. He just wanted to chat and sing with his fans, and then find some like-minded people to do voice acting and improve his skills.
Now there were many short videos of him and Fei Hei Ji Bai edited together, in various versions. Even Tang Wei thought they were dating after seeing them.
He was a single young man, how could he suddenly have a romantic history because of this? It was so unfair. He clearly hadn’t even been in a relationship yet.
He hoped that the busy Song Baiyan wouldn’t see this kind of thing. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be good if his efforts were cut short before they even began.
As he was thinking, he suddenly realized, did Song Baiyan even know he was streaming?
Yu Zhanrong’s expression was really not good. Tang Wei also gave up on watching the fun: “What are you planning to do now?”
“Help me announce it. I’ll go live in the apartment tonight to clarify.” Even if Song Baiyan didn’t know that Salty Fish Won’t Turn Over was him, who knew if it would become a problem in the future? He had to take precautions.
He had discussed it with Fei Hei Ji Bai, and he would also come out to clarify. If the two main parties of the CP both came out to debunk the rumors, there shouldn’t be anyone still stirring up trouble, right?
“You said Fei Hei Ji Bai agreed to clarify?” Yang You suddenly asked, “Are you sure he also doesn’t want to form a CP?”
Yu Zhanrong was at a loss for words: “Uh, he initially wanted to, but I refused, so he agreed to clarify together.”
“The Chinese language is truly profound,” Yang You said ambiguously, stepping aside so that others could see the computer screen.
Yang You twitched the corner of his mouth, but there was little smile in his eyes. Those who knew him well could tell that he was a little angry.
“Come and see, Fei Hei Ji Bai made a very interesting clarification.”
He turned up the volume on the laptop.
“Everyone, please ship CPs rationally. Yu Bao doesn’t like being disturbed, and we’re really not together right now. We’re not a couple yet, you know? Don’t go bothering him.”
A strong sense of scheming arose among the four.
“No, what does he mean? What kind of clarification is this? It’s ambiguous, isn’t it even more misleading?”
“And I clearly told him last night that I don’t want to form a business CP, and he said he understood my meaning. What is he doing now?”
Yu Zhanrong rolled up his sleeves, feeling a little puzzled by Fei Hei Ji Bai’s remarks.
He had been in contact with Fei Hei Ji Bai quite a bit recently, and his impression of him was actually quite good. They clearly agreed to clarify, wasn’t this just making the water muddier?
“Yuer, calm down first,” Tang Wei pushed up his glasses. “Knowing your wishes, he still chose to say these things, he must have guessed your reaction.”
The others nodded in agreement.
They stared intently at Yu Zhanrong, afraid that he would get angry and start cursing, which would lead to more trouble and complicate things further.
Yu Zhanrong was speechless. He picked at his fingernails: “Do you guys have so little faith in me? I’m not stupid.”
“We’re mainly afraid you can’t help but rush over there.”
They had strong faith in Yu Zhanrong’s ability to argue, they were just afraid that he wouldn’t be able to control himself and cause more trouble for himself.
“Then I’ll stream in the dorm?” Yu Zhanrong hesitated, “In case I really can’t help but confront him, can you guys hold me back?”
“Sure.”
Once it was decided, he stayed in the dorm and notified Xu Chenxing in advance to post a live stream announcement for him.
In order to stop this storm, Yu Zhanrong was really willing to go all out. The words he said not only shocked the live stream viewers, but even his roommates in the dorm who were preparing to prevent him from lashing out were stunned.
“I wasn’t planning to stream tonight, I mainly came to clarify the recent rumors. I didn’t expect a small streamer like me to have scandals.”
“I’ll remind you again, don’t ship everything you see. Shipping everything will only harm you. If you get hurt, it’s your own fault, I’m not responsible.”
“I don’t want to get stuck in a cycle of self-justification. My fans all know my personality. Today I’ll make two statements.”
“First, Teacher Fei Hei Ji Bai and I are just friends. We haven’t formed a business CP, and we’re definitely not dating.”
“Second, I have someone I like very, very much. Although I haven’t caught up to them yet, I don’t want these things to affect my subsequent pursuit.”
His words were like a bombshell. Yang You and the other two exchanged glances.
Huh?
Yuer has someone he likes?
Very much, very much?
Who is it?
When did this happen?
He’s always been such a homebody, and he has someone he likes?
He’s even going to start a pursuit?
Yu Zhanrong started the stream today mainly to clarify. After saying what he needed to say, he saw that the fans’ reactions were okay. The ones jumping up and down were all new fans, and some were there to cause trouble.
Yu Zhanrong didn’t indulge them: “I’ll only say this once. If anyone comes at me again, I might just start arguing. I won’t say much more today. The live stream will still be normal on Saturday. Bye, see you all on Saturday night.”
After speaking, he didn’t care whether anyone had reacted or not and ended the stream directly.
“What I said was still…” Yu Zhanrong closed the stream interface and turned around, shocked by three pairs of six straight eyes staring at him: “No, what are you doing?”
Yang You: “You have someone you like?”
Liu Yi: “Who is it?”
Tang Wei: “Male or female?!”
Yu Zhanrong: “…”
Yang You and Liu Yi turned to Tang Wei at the same time. Why did you ask so directly?
Tang Wei calmly pushed up his signature glasses: “What’s wrong? Isn’t it normal for me to ask like that?”
Yang You thought of what he saw on the school forum and said, “I feel like you might have hit the nail on the head.”
Yu Zhanrong: “…”
He touched his nose, his eyes darted around and then landed on a black spot on the ground. “I, wasn’t I just saying whatever came to mind?”
“You guys said to come up with a bold move, to solve it all at once. Isn’t my approach good? Isn’t it bold enough?”
Liu Yi’s thinking wasn’t as complicated. He found this explanation quite reasonable and seriously evaluated, “The effect should be okay, even we were shocked.”
Tang Wei and Yang You weren’t so easily swayed. They seemed to have detected an unusual scent.
Based on their understanding, Yu Zhanrong wasn’t someone who would make things up out of thin air. Saying this must mean there was something to it.
But Yu Zhanrong insisted that it was just a strategy, fabricated to solve the problem, and the more he said it, the more confident he became, to the point that he almost believed it himself.
Unable to get the answer they wanted, the two exchanged a look and returned to their seats to play games. Secrets always needed to be uncovered little by little, and they had plenty of patience.
Having escaped a disaster, Yu Zhanrong quickly joined their game to divert the topic.
