Chapter 70
The two "couple's bracelets" drove the fans into a frenzy. The passion of the shippers which had been smothered just a while ago by Qi Rui-Feng's Weibo post rose again — all kinds of discussion topics, such as 'blossoming seme-uke' and 'BaiRui party to the top' and 'BaiRui UST', were everywhere. Chen Si-Qi even specially called Yun Duo to keep an eye on her boyfriend.
Yun Duo: =.=
And then, Chen Si-Qi added, "You see how many people calling Tang Yi-Bai 'hubby' at his Weibo? You never know how many of those are actually men. These days, homosexuals are even more aggressive than heterosexuals. You better believe it."
"I believe it..." Watching the exhilarated frenzy of the netizens gave one the feeling that heterosexuals were the minority group.
Yun Duo felt that Chen Si-Qi was a true friend. It was really not easy for a gossip columnist to whom 'gossip means everything' to ignore her own interests to stand beside Yun Duo. This fool had very little moral integrity, so she had probably used it all up here...
Subsequently, Yun Duo shared Chen Si-Qi's theory with Tang Yi-Bai, and Tang Yi-Bai suddenly found it a little difficult to look straight at his Weibo. He was even more reluctant to continue browsing his Weibo.
However, Coach Wu gave him a firm mission: He needed to update his Weibo once every two weeks, and the post needed to have pictures. Of course, the contents of the images cannot be pictures of cats and dogs or mountains and rivers — he must be in the picture! He! Himself!
The source of this mission was not Coach Wu but the team management. Due to the growing commercial value of Tang Yi-Bai, in order to maintain his popularity, the team wanted Tang Yi-Bai to keep up appropriate exposure on social media. After all, doing so would not affect training.
Tang Yi-Bai could only hold back his own personal opinions. Still, there would always be countermeasures against set policies — he took many photos in one go and slowly released them. Whenever he needed to update Weibo, he would then grab one from his store of surplus photos.
And so he saved a lot of effort this way.
The comments beneath his recent Weibo post was roughly as follows:
A: Hubby, you've updated! I finally waited till you updated!
B: A photo is a photo, but why are you wearing clothes?
C: Husband, do you only have one set of clothes? I've seen you wear this one so many times.
D: I'm just waiting to see when you're going to be done with this set of photos. [Bye bye]
E: Hubby, our baby is already 4 months old. When are you going to come collect him?
...
Right now, Tang Yi-Bai no longer wanted to be on Weibo, but this was a mission he needed to do. So what should he do?
It's alright, this brother has a girlfriend.
So he asked Yun Duo to help him update his Weibo. When Yun Duo heard his request, she was a little troubled. "That's not proper, right?" Even though they were a couple, they should respect each other's boundaries.
"Nothing wrong about it. If you feel guilty about it, you can lend me your Weibo in return."
"No."
However, Tang Yi-Bai felt that his suggestion was great. "You don't even have as many fans as the zeroes behind the number of fans I do. It's no loss for you. Besides, I'm your boyfriend. What's there that I cannot see?"
She actually felt like he was making sense. Yun Duo considered it for a moment and then said, "Let me clean up my Weibo a bit first."
Girls, right? Their thoughts were more meticulous, more sentimental. Sometimes they would occasionally post some private diary entries only for their own eyes; their words revealing refreshing angles. If anyone else saw the words she had written, Yun Duo would feel quite embarrassed, so she decisively deleted those posts.
Just like that, she was convinced by him to trade Weibo accounts. Tang Yi-Bai very considerately sent along a set of pictures as well. Yun Duo found it as strange as the netizens: "Why are they all fully clothed shots?"
Tang Yi-Bai was a little bashful. "I can undress. How much do you want me to take off?"
Yun Duo was flustered. "I didn't mean it that way! Aren't you a swimmer? Just include some shots of you at the swimming pool. This is more conducive to maintaining your popularity."
Tang Yi-Bai smiled. "You won't be jealous?"
"I've already become jealous when necessary. Besides, everyone has already gotten used to seeing you in your swimming trunks. It's stranger to see you in a full set of clothes, okay?"
Her admission that she had been jealous lifted Tang Yi-Bai's mood. He smiled and said, "Ok, ok, ok, I'll do whatever you want me to do. I'll take a few shots for you during tomorrow's training. Just use these for today."
As soon as Yun Duo logged on to Tang Yi-Bai's Weibo, she was bombarded with a heap of messages. The public comments were still alright — at most, there were plenty of calls of 'hubby' this and 'hubby' that — but Yi-Bai's private inbox was a completely different matter. There were those who worshipped him and encouraged him, those who scolded him, those who wanted to lend money, those who wanted to advertise, and those who wanted to beg for dates...
It really was tiring to be a celebrity!
Yun Duo browsed the comments for a while. In truth, some of the comments were rather nice. Those commenters knew that although Tang Yi-Bai looked fresh and bright, his training was actually very tough, so they were advising Tang Yi-Bai to take care of his body and not push himself too hard. To not stress himself out for the World Championships and just be himself... In short, just reading them warmed her heart; they were brimming with positive energy.
When she got tired reading comments, she published a picture post on Weibo, captioning it with some chicken soup words.
Moments later, she received a notification that a good friend had published a Weibo post. It was at this moment when she realised that Tang Yi-Bai's Weibo account had an alert set up for her Weibo account. Smiling, she opened the notification and saw the newest Weibo post by "reporter Yun Duo".
"Reporter Yun Duo" had shared "Tang Yi-Bai's" latest Weibo and commented on it: My hubby is so handsome. [Kiss Kiss]
Yun Duo: ...
Without any warning at all, she had been pranked by him. (╥﹏╥)
Even though she had very few fans, she was still a verified account following and being followed by peers in her field. Was it really alright to do this?! Wouldn't she be thought to be an airhead fangirl?!
Yun Duo could only give him a knock: You!
"Reporter Yun Duo": Hubby! Muacks ╭(╯3╰)╮
"Tang Yi-Bai": =.=
"Tang Yi-Bai": You're having fun!
"Tang Yi-Bai": Quickly delete that Weibo post! qaq
"Reporter Yun Duo": Due to network reasons, your message failed to be sent. Please stop sending.
"Tang Yi-Bai": For shame!
"Tang Yi-Bai": Delete it quickly!
"Reporter Yun Duo": Why?
"Tang Yi-Bai": I'm afraid it'll be seen.
"Reporter Yun Duo": Are you so afraid of others knowing about us?
"Tang Yi-Bai": Aren't you the one who should be afraid?
"Reporter Yun Duo": I'm not afraid. Let's go public?
"Tang Yi-Bai": No.
"Reporter Yun Duo": Why? Ashamed of me?
"Tang Yi-Bai": After we go public, there'll definitely be a lot of people following me around to secretly take photos of me. You can hide in the training base, but where can I hide?!
"Reporter Yun Duo": That's true. Sorry for your troubles.
"Tang Yi-Bai": Nonono, it's no trouble at all. Delete. That. Weibo. Now!
"Reporter Yun Duo": Ok. Call me 'hubby' once and I'll delete it.
"Tang Yi-Bai": (╰_╯)# There's a limit to my patience!
"Reporter Yun Duo": Okokok, I'll do it now. Don't be mad, hubby.
"Tang Yi-Bai": ...
Tang Yi-Bai left the private inbox and returned to the Weibo post. Even though the post had only been published for a while, there was already one comment. The ID of the commenter was "a large forest houses all kinds of birds".
Hehe, instant blacklist.
