I Ship My Rival x Me

CHAPTER 7

༻❁༺

Although Gu Yiliang and I are separated by only one celebrity tier, the number of fans who came to visit us at work was equally matched.

The moment the two groups of fans caught sight of the support items in each other's hands, they instantly widened their distance at a rapid rate, conscientiously dividing themselves into two masses on either side of the pathway. Their unified gazes stared intently at the entrance and no one from the same group of fans pushed or shoved each other. When their gazes interlocked with the adversary's eyes, they didn't behave like they had daggers drawn like on the internet.

Both sides had people carrying various kinds of equipment to record the whole segment. Since their biases would be the ones paying for it if they stepped out of line, everyone was fully aware of embodying the high standards of their own fan circles, attempting to oppress their rivals with it.

This was a battle without smoke.

༻❁༺

In the end, Gu Yiliang came out with me looking all cheerful and lively.

༻❁༺

Thus somehow plunging the entire scene into a state of awkwardness.

༻❁༺

"We only have thirty minutes? Let me know when the time's up?" I asked.

Gu Yiliang nodded. "Okay. Give me some of your snacks. I didn't prepare any."

He can still botch his fans in their presence?

So I gave him half my snacks in front of everyone.

༻❁༺

I greeted the Pretty Yans [1] and handed the snacks in my embrace to a familiar big fan of mine. "It's probably not enough for everyone, so maybe you can just open them up and share them on the way back?"

"Sure! No biggie!" The little girl easily found a bag and packed everything up quickly before she lifted two bags up to me. "We've already given the food and drinks prepared for the production team to the staff members. What's in here are all the presents the Pretty Yans have prepared for you. The green bag contains fresh fruits and desserts so please remember to eat them on time. Don't leave it for later or else it will go bad. The blue bag has a bit of everything like presents and letters. Just take a look yourself..."

I laughed uncontrollably. Every time I meet them, it feels as though I'm seeing my own mom from when I was in boarding school. The only exception was that they didn't tell me to get along with everyone and warn me not to get bullied.

"...Please get along with the staff members." The little girl shot a glance at Gu Yiliang before anxiously lowering her voice into a soft whisper. "Your adversary... did he bully you?"

I choked. "..."

༻❁༺

I called out to him, "Gu Yiliang!"

Gu Yiliang turned around to look at me in confusion.

I said, "Gimme a smile!"

And Gu Yiliang threw me a dazzling and bewitching smile.

༻❁༺

Turning around, I was greeted by the look of astonishment from my big fan as well as a fragmented view of the group's expressions. I smiled and said, "Got it now? We're getting along just fine."

Seeing how they would still be trapped in a state of shock for a while longer, I fished out my phone, swiped up Alipay, and said, "How much did you guys spend this time?"
