Chapter 61

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Yuan Ye chuckled and said, “But I wanted to pee. How was I supposed to pee without getting up?”

As he spoke, he hopped forward another step on his sole functioning leg. He hopped behind Fang Shaoyi and wrapped his arms around the other’s neck. “Piggyback.” RcVwSp

“Piggyback.” Fang Shaoyi directly picked him up, took a few steps over to the bed, then set him down again. He pointed at Yuan Ye’s foot.

Yuan Ye very conscientiously lifted his leg up and rested it on its side against the edge of the bed. He looked up and told Fang Shaoyi, “Ge, I booked a flight for the day after the day after tomorrow. I’ll have to leave two days after tomorrow.”

Fang Shaoyi instinctively furrowed his brows and said, “That’s too soon.”

“I’ll definitely be fine in two days.” Yuan Ye was very nonchalant about his injured ankle. “They’re waiting for me. I have to go. Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. Relax.” tDC xe

Could Fang Shaoyi relax? But it also wasn’t possible for Yuan Ye not to leave. He had been scheduled to leave yesterday. This tiny accident had given him a few days leeway.《Hoarse》was close to the start of filming. There was a bunch of stuff lined up for Yuan Ye to do. He couldn’t delay everyone else simply because of his own personal issues. This wasn’t Yuan Ye’s style. Also, taking time off work to stay at home and recover due to a mere twisted ankle was an insult to Yuan Ye’s spirit.

Fang Shaoyi asked for a day off from filming to personally send him off. Yuan Ye did his best to prevent the other from doing so, but ultimately failed. Speechless, Yuan Ye asked Fang Shaoyi, “Ge, have I gotten injured too few times these past few years? I’ve finally gotten injured once so now you don’t know what to do? I only twisted my ankle, but you’re going with me? Taking the flight there and back with me?”

“Shut your mouth,” Fang Shaoyi scolded. His eyebrows were furrowed. “How many more times do you want to get injured?”

“I just want to tell you that you don’t need to send me.” Yuan Ye’s gaze was very sincere as he coaxed, “That’s too much. I’m not even limping when I walk now. What’s the purpose of you sending me off?” 0dkvac

“Why do you care?” Fang Shaoyi covered the other’s mouth with his hand. “I want to.”

Yuan Ye could only nod in exasperation. With a smile, he said, “Okay, okay.”

Actually, it was truly very hard to tell with the naked eye that Yuan Ye had twisted his ankle. He walked exactly the same way he always did. But Fang Shaoyi still sent him to his destination and made sure he had settled in nicely before returning. He flew back the same day. Someone even asked the two of them how they were doing at the airport – they also asked how Yuan Ye’s foot was.

Yuan Ye waved his hand while smiling to say that he was fine. IA0oRS

The news had gotten exposed that same night. Articles said that Yuan Ye had broken a bone, so Fang Shaoyi had taken him to get X-rays at the hospital. Several different reasons for the broken bone spread among the general public. The most plausible one said that the two of them had gotten into a car accident on the way to the film set. Fang Shaoyi had scraped by, unharmed, but Yuan Ye had broken his leg. Neither of them looked over the stuff online; these “news” articles were extremely annoying. However, they worried that their fans would get too anxious, so Ji Xiaotao eventually used Yuan Ye’s Weibo to make a post summarizing the situation. He said that Yuan Ye hadn’t broken his leg – he had merely twisted his ankle. Then, he told everyone that there was no need to worry.

There were also a lot of people under Yuan Ye’s Weibo saying that he deserved this. They said that this was karma after how many bad things he had done. Such comments were very vile. Fans immediately jumped in and started arguing back, refuting these malicious comments one by one. Then, onlookers and antifans continued their attack. Back and forth, these two groups of people cussed each other out. In the end, Ji Xiaotao deleted all these unharmonious comments. Regardless of if they were mean comments from antifans or retorts from fans, there was no need to keep them.

Even though Ji Xiaotao had been working in this industry for so many years, he still felt a bit uncomfortable reading these ill-intended comments. He still wasn’t calm enough. In the beginning, he even used a private account to comment under the post too: What bad things have Yuan Ye done? Did you see him do them? If even he has to suffer bad karma, then the powers above must be blind. KpedCc

After posting this, though, he also felt like he had nothing better to do with his time. Why was he arguing with these stubborn antifans?

Yuan Ye happened to be very apathetic about these matters. If one cared about each rumor and fake story about them, their entire life would be passed in depression. Why do that?

“Your foot’s fine?” This was the first question Feng Leizi asked after seeing Yuan Ye.

“What does it look like to you?” Yuan Ye sat in a chair and lifted up the foot he had twisted. “Agile as a cat.” eGBOAf

“Well, you recovered quickly,” Feng Leizi commented.

Yuan Ye only chuckled in response. He changed the topic to start talking about official business.

Actually, Yuan Ye was faking all this. The first two days, his ankle had swelled and only felt a bit warm and numb. On the third and fourth days, the pain really started. He couldn’t put pressure on his ankle, but Yuan Ye couldn’t stand having to limp. He was also scared that Fang Shaoyi would start worrying too much, so acted like everything was fine.

How could Fang Shaoyi not know he was acting? A thin sheen of sweat had formed over his forehead while he had been walking. dEQlDs

Thus, when Fang Shaoyi called that night, he reminded Yuan Ye, “Keep your foot propped up at night. Soak your feet, use a warm compress, and don’t be lazy.”

“Ey, I’m almost completely healed.” Yuan Ye’s voice was pretty relaxed. He told the other, “I can’t really feel anything anymore. Film diligently. Don’t always think of me.”

Fang Shaoyi remained silent for over ten seconds. Yuan Ye’s tone was questioning. “Un

Yuan Ye stared directly into the other’s eyes and straightforwardly inquired, “You like Geng ge, right?”

His question caused Yang Siran to freeze. Yang Siran opened his mouth, but didn’t answer. Yuan Ye sat up straight and stretched his arms. He told the younger, “Don’t worry. You don’t need to share with me.”

“I-it’s not something I can’t share with you.” Yang Siran lowered his head and tugged at his ear. He lowly said, “Yes, I like Boss Geng.” Bv8fIp

Yuan Ye nodded. He wasn’t planning on saying anything else. Idle conversation was fine, but he didn’t really want to pry into anybody’s private matters.

But Yang Siran followed this up with, “……I’ve liked him for many years already.”
