Bai Jiangnan also knew he was angry, following silently behind him.
Halfway there, Yan Yifan stopped and turned back to glare at him fiercely. Looking at him like that, he was both cute and funny.
Bai Jiangnan walked over and asked: “What’s wrong?”
Yan Yifan: “Did you bring your phone?”
Bai Jiangnan: “Brought it, do you want to use it?” Bai Jiangnan handed his phone to him.
Yan Yifan ignored him and continued walking forward. The two returned to their seats and sat down. Bai Jiangnan was very strange: “Where is your phone?” Just after asking this, he saw a phone with a shattered screen lying on the table. Bai Jiangnan: …
Yan Yifan didn’t move either, holding his [Bai’s] phone and snapping pictures of the table full of food.
Bai Jiangnan: I might as well eat hotpot.
After finishing, he stuffed the phone into Bai Jiangnan’s hand.
Bai Jiangnan opened it and saw the few pictures he took; all were delicious food.
Yan Yifan said: “Not allowed to delete it.”
Bai Jiangnan nodded and put the phone away.
The two ate hotpot, the atmosphere a bit weird, so Bai Jiangnan said: “Aiya, don’t be angry anymore. We are both men, are you afraid of being ‘eaten tofu’ [molested/touched]?”
It would have been fine if he hadn’t said this; once this was mentioned, Yan Yifan kicked him.
Bai Jiangnan reached out his hand to him: “Alright alright, feel free to hit me.”
Yan Yifan looked at Bai Jiangnan, rotated three hundred and sixty degrees, and fiercely twisted it [his skin] on it.
Bai Jiangnan: “Ahhhhhhh! You really twisted!”
Yan Yifan laughed with a puchi sound, looking at him triumphantly.
Bai Jiangnan, while fake-crying, said: “Really heartless! It’s even bruised! Are we still friends? So petty!”
Yan Yifan wore a look of small triumph; Bai Jiangnan found it both funny and wanted to go up and pinch his face, but didn’t dare.
The two chatted while eating, and the atmosphere afterward became very harmonious.
After finishing the meal, the two prepared to go stroll around the surrounding area. Just as they left the hotpot restaurant and passed a hotel, a man and a woman walked out with their arms hooked around each other. The man held the woman’s waist and kissed her on the mouth.
Bai Jiangnan: …
Yan Yifan looked at the two. That woman had been smiling looking forward, but suddenly she froze.
Yan Yifan licked his lips and asked: “Who is this person?”
That man had a potbelly, a face full of red bumps, and a bulbous nose. Seeing Yan Yifan blocking the way, he said impatiently: “Go away! Who is blocking this master!”
Shen Leilei leaned on that man, smiled, and said: “This person is my boyfriend.”
Yan Yifan raised an eyebrow, “Oh, congratulations, being caught cheating by your boyfriend.”
The man was stunned for a moment, looked at Shen Leilei, and then glanced at Yan Yifan, laughing: “I was wondering who it was, so it’s the ‘pretty boy’! What? Someone like you, and still a toad wanting to eat swan meat?”
Bai Jiangnan walked forward: “How are you talking? Your mouth is full of dung!”
Yan Yifan stopped Bai Jiangnan, who looked like he was about to fight, looked at Shen Leilei, and asked: “We are still in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, right? Why, calling me ‘hubby’ on WeChat two days ago, wanting to buy a bag, and now you’ve hooked up with someone else?”
Having her true colors exposed so mercilessly by him, Shen Leilei refused to give in and said: “You still want to be my husband? Hmph! You aren’t a man at all! I, young and beautiful, followed you, a block of wood! I’d rather follow an inflatable doll!”
Yan Yifan’s expression was very ugly, “What do you mean?!”
Shen Leilei said triumphantly: “What do I mean? Just that meaning, don’t you understand?” She leaned on that man, kissed him on the face; the man knowingly massaged her buttocks, and the two began to flirt in broad daylight.
Yan Yifan had a look of being disgusted, saying: “Since it’s like this, let’s part on good terms.”
Shen Leilei screamed: “Part on good terms, my ass! You have to pay for my ‘youth loss’ compensation!”
Yan Yifan really had nothing he wanted to say to her. With a look of being disgusted, Bai Jiangnan put his arm around his shoulder and said: “Get lost!”
Shen Leilei: “If you don’t mind me publishing the fact that you two are GAY~”
When that man heard this, his look at them was full of lewdness.
Yan Yifan was deeply shaken in his heart, looking at Shen Leilei, “What do you mean?”
Shen Leilei smiled, said something in that man’s ear, walked over, flicked her hair, and said: “This matter needs the two of us to talk in private. The timing now isn’t very good. How about this, go back tonight, I will find you to come out and talk.”
After finishing, Shen Leilei left.
Bai Jiangnan looked at Yan Yifan, whose expression was not good, and said: “Don’t pay attention to her!”
Yan Yifan breathed a long sigh of relief. He wasn’t in the mood to stroll anymore either. The two went to play games for a while, then went straight back.
By night, Shen Leilei really called to ask him to go to her room.
Shen Leilei’s room was in a hotel on the next street. Yan Yifan knocked on the door, and Shen Leilei opened it.
Yan Yifan walked in and sat on the sofa, “What do you want?”
Shen Leilei: “I don’t want anything. I’ve been your girlfriend for so long, at least you should help me land a female lead role, right?”
Yan Yifan frowned: “You are still thinking about this? Impossible.”
Shen Leilei: “Why is it impossible! How many projects has your brother’s side invested in? Can’t you just give me one randomly! Are you still a man! Your girlfriend has to rely on sleeping with others to get a role, and you are still standing there indifferent!!!”
Yan Yifan: “I said, don’t have these crooked thoughts. The one accompanying you today is Director Huo Lin, right? You want to get into his crew? He is famous in the industry for turning his back on people.”
“Don’t need you to remind me!” Shen Leilei screamed: “I know what I’m doing!”
Yan Yifan didn’t speak.
Shen Leilei stopped, panting for breath, “I don’t care, if you want a peaceful breakup, you have to give me a female lead!”
Yan Yifan was almost laughed to anger by her, and said in a deep voice: “I said it’s impossible.”
Shen Leilei: “Then don’t blame me for blackening [slandering] you on Weibo!”
Yan Yifan: “What are you slandering me with? Homosexuality? I didn’t cheat!”
Shen Leilei looked at him with sinister eyes: “At least in front of netizens, I am still your girlfriend. You leave me alone all day to hug and touch another man. Tell me, what will netizens think when they hear it? You are clearly GAY, yet you tricked so many girls into being friends with you! A scum man who tricks people into marriage like you should be denounced by everyone!”
Yan Yifan didn’t expect her to be not only selfish but also greedy. He said: “There is nothing between him and me, stop talking nonsense here. Netizens aren’t just going to believe whatever they hear!”
Shen Leilei: “Hehe, since you aren’t afraid, why come find me? And say so much to me? Do you think I will believe your words?” She smiled, “Yan Yifan, do you know what the most annoying thing about you is? It’s that ‘I’m doing this for your own good’ look. Since you are doing it for my own good, why not help me? If you were doing it for my good, why get so angry and want to break up without asking anything just because you saw yourself getting a ‘green hat’ [being cheated on]?!”
Yan Yifan: “Alright, then let me ask, did anyone hold a knife to your neck and ask you to crawl into someone else’s bed?”
Shen Leilei: “No one held a knife to my neck, but I am also a woman, and I also hope that someone can love and cherish me. Since you are friends with me, you are with others every day! Can I not be angry?!”
Yan Yifan looked astonished: “We agreed on it before we got together; it was just to be simple friends and hang out together. I wouldn’t invest any feelings, and you agreed to it too!”
Shen Leilei: “Hehe, if things in the world were really that simple, there wouldn’t be so many accidents! Since we are boyfriend and girlfriend, you shouldn’t be entangled with others!”
Yan Yifan simply didn’t want to say anything. In this person’s eyes, everything she did was right, and everything she was aggrieved about was justified.
Yan Yifan stood up.
Shen Leilei screamed: “What are you doing?!”
Yan Yifan: “Since it can’t be explained clearly, then there’s no need to say any more.”
Shen Leilei: “Aren’t you afraid of me going on Weibo to slander you!”
Yan Yifan laughed, “You also know about my family’s connections, do you think this Weibo post of yours can be posted?” He glanced at Shen Leilei, “Even if it is posted, it will only be regarded as a hater. No internet army will help you.”
Shen Leilei: “You! You! You are oppression! Don’t think that just because you have a few stinky pennies that you are amazing!”
Yan Yifan laughed: “I just happen to have a few stinky pennies, and I just happen to be amazing. How about that? Envious? Jealous? Want to be like me, have so much stinky money? No use! This is innate! It was decided the moment I was born. Want to counterattack? Hehe, that would at least require the intelligence of an ordinary person, right?”
Shen Leilei was almost driven crazy. She casually threw a teacup, which grazed past Yan Yifan’s ear and shattered on the wall.
Yan Yifan looked at her coldly: “I won’t care about you giving me a ‘green hat,’ and I won’t take back the things I gave you earlier. We are considered a peaceful breakup, and I won’t say a single word against you. However, it’s best not to let me know you’ve said any nonsense. Otherwise, for the rest of your life, don’t even think about standing out in the entertainment industry. My family is in the entertainment industry; it is very simple to want to ban someone who has no money, no influence, no acting skills, and no intelligence!”
Shen Leilei: “Go to hell!” She was panting violently from anger, but thinking of Yan Yifan’s threat just now, she didn’t dare to say a single word, afraid of offending Yan Yifan. Yan Yifan had always been too easy to talk to, giving whatever was asked, without any temper, making Shen Leilei think he was truly easy to bully. However, the fact was not like that. He could also be very scary, he could also use influence to oppress people, and he could also be totally unreasonable.
Shen Leilei suddenly felt a bit afraid. That Director Huo Lin, who was a coward whenever he saw his wife, really gave her more benefits than Yan Yifan?
Shen Leilei regretted it a bit. She took two steps forward, her momentum suddenly weakened. She blinked her eyes, and gently tugged at Yan Yifan’s arm, “I was wrong, I was wrong, don’t be angry, I just love you too much! Let’s not break up, okay?”
Yan Yifan: “…Things that have been done cannot be turned back.” He slowly pulled Shen Leilei’s hand away.
Shen Leilei: “Don’t be angry, okay? I really was just afraid of losing you. You are so close to Bai Jiangnan and don’t take me into your eyes at all. I just, I just did it to make you notice me! Really! Don’t be angry anymore, okay? Let’s reconcile, I won’t dare do it again…”
“You are really suited for the entertainment industry.” Yan Yifan glanced at her and turned to walk away.
