I Ship My Rival x Me

CHAPTER 31

༻❁༺

It was impossible for today's version of me to find a reason to act normal.

Ever since Gu Yiliang brought a bottle of "business-commencing" tea with a heart drawn on it this morning, today was going to be an extraordinary day.

༻❁༺

The number one ranking on the "The World's Top CP Fans That Cannot Expose Their Own Identity"; The record holder for losing their breath after being flirted with by Gu Yiliang; The person who's never able to flirt with someone but always falls for the other's flirting; The first person to ship himself into real feelings.

With all these bright and shiny names above my head, I, who was only considered a top when it came to "Top 1 rankings" in people's hearts, I had won a whimper from the flirting king Gu Yiliang.

This pleasant-sounding whimper, sounding like a sound of nature, had too profound a meaning for me.

This was acknowledgment and affirmation towards me, and it showed respect and encouragement me.

༻❁༺

The agreed-upon fanservice: mutual flirtation, love, and joy. I've finally achieved them.

Feeling the pain in my pelvis fade, my eyes shone brightly. With tears in my eyes, I grabbed Gu Yiliang's hand, "Are you happy?"

Gu Yiliang gave me an uncertain look. "Should I... be happy?"

Passion burning in my eyes, I swayed his arm. "I'm very happy."

༻❁༺

This was my one small step for myself and one giant leap in changing the positions of this pairing.

From this moment on, I was no longer that Wei Yanzi who could only helplessly be flirted with.

The bugle, alerting the switch of positions, was ringing. Extremely excited, I held onto Gu Yiliang's hand, looking into his eyes. It felt as though I could see the bright, open future where I took the top position through the black pupils–

All of a sudden, a very quiet female voice drifted from not far away, sounding just like a whimper.

༻❁༺

Gu Yiliang and I turned toward the source of the sound at the same time. At the moment of our simultaneous action, another whimper could be heard.

Fear appeared in my eyes. Hey! Where did this whimpering beast come from?

From today onwards, I will never allow anyone other than Gu Yiliang to whimper non-stop in front of me!

༻❁༺

A girl who seemed quite young was standing in a dark corner a distance away. Carrying a thermal lunch box in one hand, she covered her mouth with the other as she watched us with rounded eyes.

From her gaze, I could clearly read a sentence – "Fuck, my ship is real."

As well as the heaving and thrumming enthusiasm of a fan.

I confirmed the look in her eyes. She was someone on the Niangzi ship.

༻❁༺

Very quickly, there was a reason to return everything back to normal.

I momentarily put on a professional idol-face, elegant yet friendly, friendly yet lively, lively yet solemn as I gave her a nod.
