I Ship My Rival x Me

CHAPTER 21

༻❁༺

Even after I was seated in Gu Yiliang's room, he still looked very solemn.

Solemnly, he opened the small refrigerator. Solemnly, he surveyed the contents inside. Solemnly, he turned his head and asked me, "There's no honey tea, only mineral water. Is that fine?"

I quickly nodded, saying it was fine. Then I could not help but laugh. "Why are you making things so serious?"

He shook his head, taking out a bottle of water and a glass. After placing a coaster in front of me and filling my glass, he coughed lightly. "After all, now... our relationship isn't quite the same."

I was first a little puzzled, then I understood and hurriedly nodded my head to thank him.

༻❁༺

Yes, we were now a company-sanctioned professional ship that Gu Yiliang personally acknowledged. I got it.

However, was there a need to feel so conflicted over this issue that he needed to smoke three cigarettes in a row? He truly was the professional and responsible Artist Gu.

No matter what, since he had already decided that he would properly play this role of being my fanservice partner, and also wanted to help me improve my acting ability, this was a win-win situation for both of us. Of course, I would give my best and cooperate with him, and never disappoint him!

Also, I could not disappoint that Wei Yanzi who was howling for more fluff to enjoy!

Gu Yiliang sat across me, taking a few moments to compose his thoughts. "Previously, I've never tried... Mn. So, I might not be too familiar with what I'm supposed to do, or the general rules for this. Is there anything I should take note of?"

He was not very familiar. How modest! Then who was the one saying all those things during supper? Were you just talking nonsense?

Without waiting for me to answer, he asked, seemingly with some difficulty, "Is it just... treating you like how a boyfriend would treat you?"

He sounded very stiff and robotic when saying the word "boyfriend". It must be very embarrassing for him. I hurriedly shook my head, "There's no need for that, that's too exaggerated. Us being like this now is enough already, you're doing a very good job."

He froze slightly, and while looking at me, in his eyes there seemed to be some pity and... distress?

༻❁༺

He asked, "... Just like this is considered very good?"

I looked at him, uncomprehending. "It's still not good enough?"

He spoke seriously, "I'll try my best to do even better."

༻❁༺

Wait, how did we end up talking about this?

Struggling to follow his pace a bit, I could only nod along muddleheaded. To be able to end up with such a response bias, the Niangzi Army was really fortunate. It was the sort of fortune that they could only cultivate over their past eight lifetimes.

He again asked, "So I just have to treat you like how a boyfriend would?"

Why does he keep on turning around the "boyfriend" thing?!

As a straight man performing fanservice, he probably does not know how he should behave. Fine, fine, I just have to pay attention and hold him back a little in front of the cameras.
