CHAPTER 15

Wei Yanzi. This name has too many character strokes. I might as well replace it with my adversary.

Only I know that he's not my adversary at all. The implication I had in calling him my adversary and other people's perception of it was completely different. Quite amusing indeed.

How wonderful! In the days before yesterday, we rarely communicated. He was also rather shy and awkward when we met yesterday too, but today he was finally able to pinch my face to force a smile out of me.

It felt wonderful so I posted a picture to commemorate the special occasion.

In order to conduct an early publicity stunt, the production team opened up a thirty-minute window for a fan meet. My adversary's fans would come too and it was a good chance to break the ice in person. (Things weren't that cold between us in reality.) So, I called him to go with me, even going as far as to purposely ask him to share his snacks with me in front of everyone, hoping that the fans could understand my intentions.

How is he still this thin with so many snacks hidden in his resting room?

A little-miss-head-of-fanclub of mine....I mean, a big-name fan of mine. When we were eating, my adversary told me that little-miss-head-of-fanclub sounded strange and unpleasant and said it would be better to call her my big-name fan instead. So be it. I'll go according to what he says.

A big-name fan of mine said she wanted to take a group photo of me and my adversary together. He was very cooperative about it.

My big-name fan's photography skills were great, looking as though she had specialized in it before. The composition of the image and the lighting were incomparably penetrating and harmonious so I was very satisfied. I ended up choosing two of them for my Weibo posts later.

I paid attention to the look on my adversary's face. Like me, he seemed to be very happy with the two pictures as well. That made me more pleased than ever.

One of my adversary's fans wanted him to sign a banner with a drawing of me on it. He seemed to look a little troubled and especially went out of his way to ask for my permission. He was probably afraid that I minded the whole 'adversary' business. He's too adorable for words!

The banner's art was nice. The art version of 'us' on the banner looked as though we were good friends and she made us look super cute too. The colors matched well and were comfortable to the eyes. I liked it very much. Too bad I couldn't ask her for a copy of the original artwork.

There were a lot of fans around who drew chibi art of me, but this was my first time seeing a chibi artwork version of me and my adversary together. I wonder whether this was drawn by a fan who's a fan of us both or a fan of his who belongs in the dove faction? Were they trying to express that they hoped to see us both getting along well with one another?

Great. Here's to hoping that I'll be able to see more fanart like this in the future.

When we were filming, my adversary kept shooting me nervous looks. His burning gaze was so fervent that it was impossible for anyone to ignore, especially when I was in the middle of acting out a dangerous stunt.

He stood for as long as I filmed and never once did he complain that he was tired. This wasn't my first time filming. Did he really need to be this worried? Haha ^^.
