After Gu Yu poured a glass of water to Xu Nan, he didn’t know what to say. How to say that this person is the love target of his love target. Now for this person, he and his love target coming out together. Then, should they already be—love rivals?
Looking at the dejected face of the love rival in front of him, Gu Yu sat silently on the other side. Li Baishi moved closer when he sat down, poked Gu Yu’s shoulder, and whispered in low voice.
“He is your rival…” Li Baishi looked at Xu Nan thoughtfully while holding his chin. As a result, Gu Yu slapped his head. Li Baishi remembered that the person in front of him was a straight man. He didn’t know anything about Jiang Rongye like him. So, it would be bad if he heard that just now.
“That……”
“We are talking about whether to call an ambulance for you!”
“……”
Gu Yu stepped on the corner of Li Baishi’s foot and covered his mouth and laughed awkwardly at Xu Nan. Then, Li Baishi’s mobile phone rang. Gu Yu let him answer the phone. A tremendous roar was heard from the phone. Gu Yu glanced at Li Baishi’s doomed look, his heart rejoiced in other people’s misfortune.
He deserves it, why didn’t he hastened to draw the sketch? Hahahaha!!
Fortunately, he has the habit of storing manuscripts and releases them regularly every day!
Gu Yu had some regrets when Li Baishi finally left. He didn’t know how to communicate with the person in front of him. Both of them weren’t familiar with each other. Since that gathering, he and Xu Nan have met several times. It was because of Jiang Rongye that they met by chance, and at most they were just nodding acquaintance. At the moment, if it were not for Li Baishi, it would not be like this.
The atmosphere was awkward for a while.
“Thank you, are you called Gu Yu?”
“Yes… We have met a few times…”
After that, they were in an awkward situation again.
Gu Yu used to be an active child. But in recent years, he stayed at home every day and rarely talked with others, if he did, it was via the Internet. Recently, it was Li Baishi that caused him to meet with unfamiliar people. On the contrary, he only felt awkward and don’t know what to say. Moreover, Xu Nan seemed to be dumped just now…
But it’s strange, hasn’t Xu Nan already broken up? Is it just being recovered?
“My girlfriend also lives in your neighborhood.”
Gu Yu blinked, raised his head, and glanced at Xu Nan, who was drinking water. When he saw that his eyes were drooping, he couldn’t help asking, “You were quarreling?” Asking it out felt like a bit inappropriate. No, is it very unnecessary to say this obvious matter now?
Xu Nan put down the glass and made a wry smile, “Um, we quarreled and I broke up with her some time ago. Today originally I wanted to explain it. Who can expect that…”
Thinking about the girl’s bold kick just now, Gu Yu suddenly sympathized with Xu Nan. Looking at this man’s depressed face, Gu Yu hesitated a bit before decided to comfort him.
“Woman, their temper could come and go so fast and there will always be a misunderstanding!” When he saw a disheartened expression in Xu Nan’s face, he stiffened. Then he thought of a possibility, swallowed his saliva, and asked seriously. “Did you… get caught in bed?”
Xu Nan: “…” Gu Yu saw that he didn’t answer and thought that he shouldn’t be able to do that kind of thing. Maybe he just wanted to explain the reason. As he was about to speak, he heard Xu Nan say, “Last time, I got drunk and stayed at my friend’s house for one night. My girlfriend called me but my friend’s sister picked it up, and then…”
It turned out to be a misunderstanding. However, it’s understandable to doubt the boyfriend that lost contact with you, and when you called the next morning, it was picked up by another woman.
“You can ask your friend’s sister to explain.”
“I can’t. She went abroad that day because she has to go on a business trip…”
Gu Yu was choked for a while, then looked at Xu Nan sympathetically, “It’s not easy for you.” When the words fell, he saw Xu Nan lowered his head and looked downcast. Gu Yu was not good at this matter. He doesn’t know how to comfort him after he saw this look. Although he has seen this person a few times, his impression was a very cheerful big boy, tall, and quite handsome. Compared with the impression of his, this break up seemed to blew him pretty big.
Thinking of this, Gu Yu thought of Jiang Rongye again. Jiang Rongye liked Xu Nan, now he heard that Xu Nan and his girlfriend broke up before Jiang Rongye decided to pursue him. For this reason, he was dragged to come out in his home. But seeing Xu Nan’s deep affection look… Could Jiang Rongye smoothly bend this guy? Gu Yu pouted and thought about why he was worried about that guy.
At this moment, his phone rang suddenly and the gourd baby echoed in the living room, attracting Xu Nan’s complicated eyes. Gu Yu’s whole face was embarrassed while he pulled out his phone from his pocket. He thought that he has to change this ringtone…
“Hello—”
“Dear Lord Remainder~ When are you going to update today? Um? Haven’t you see your readers in the comment area already urging for a new chapter!”
The call was from Gu Yu’s editor. He was a bit muddled when he heard the editor’s words. He clearly remembered that he had saved the manuscript? As a result, when he heard that the editor said that the manuscripts on the website had been sent out as early as yesterday, Gu Yu vaguely remembered that his manuscripts were still in WORD today waiting for him…
He was urged several times before Gu Yu hung up the phone. He glanced at the time on the phone. More than an hour had passed since the usual update time. Thinking of the readers on the website, Gu Yu shivered and prepared to go back to his room and take the computer to Li Baishi’s house to browse the Internet.
“That…” Gu Yu looked at Xu Nan on the other side, his expression embarrassed.
The other party naturally realized that Gu Yu had something to do, so he got up and said goodbye. When he walked to the door, Xu Nan asked Gu Yu’s phone number. Gu Yu was surprised, but he still gave him. After Xu Nan took two steps, he suddenly turned around and smiled at Gu Yu, “Help me make Jiang Rongye bring a good one.”
Gu Yu didn’t understand the meaning of the other party. Did Jiang Rongye say to Xu Nan that they were childhood friends?
After bringing the computer to Li Baishi’s home to use the Internet, he copied the contents of the document to the website and send it. Gu Yu opened the comment area and looked at it. The top of the list was some readers urging for more and some grumpy ones that simply burst out swear words. Because these are male readers, Gu Yu pursed his lips and ignored them, and he continues scrolling down.
The result came to the following, the view suddenly changed, and various comments about the protagonist and the supporting male character HE suddenly appeared. Some simply wrote a few cross-over short paragraphs…
“Li Baishi.”
“What?”
“Is my writing really so gay?”
Li Baishi was drawing a manuscript. When he heard Gu Yu’s words, he stopped his hand and turned to look at Gu Yu. “Have you updated?” As he said, he was about to drop his pen and take his phone to read the update. The manuscript has not been completed so he had to press the urge to read the article. He continues to hold the pen and answer while painting, “Yes!”
Gu Yu turned his head and glared at Li Baishi’s back, frowning, “Where is it that looked gay! Why don’t I think so?”
“You are bent. Of course, you don’t feel it, OK!” Gu Yu wanted to refute, but he heard Li Baishi added proudly, “Gu Xiaoyu, you have to believe what me, a straight man said!”
“Only the rotten eye can judge a person as gay!” Gu Yu gritted his teeth.
As soon as Li Baishi heard Gu Yu implied that he was gay, he was ready to leave the board and fight with him. As a result, he hadn’t been able to speak and there was a knock outside the door. Gu Yu put down the computer and ran to open the door. At the door stood a middle-aged woman.
“You are?”
“Isn’t this Xiaobai’s home?”
“Who is it, Gu Yu?” Li Baishi walked over leisurely. When he caught sight of the person at the door, his expression suddenly changes. “OMG! Mom, why are you here?”
After Gu Yu heard that the person in front of him was Li Baishi’s mother, he subconsciously giving way. When she saw her son’s sloppy appearance, she suddenly filled with anger and went directly to scold Li Baishi’s sloppy appearance as well as his behavior of running around barefoot.
Seeing the appearance of Mother Li, Gu Yu couldn’t help but think of her mother. He looked at Li Baishi which stood on the side, his ears drooped and looked obedient when he was reprimanded. At the same time, she couldn’t help but think of the time he was scolded by his mother. Shouldn’t this be the same?
……It’s too modest!
After Mother Li had taught her son, she noticed Gu Yu who was on the side. Li Baishi quickly pulled him to change the subject. After the two exchanged their greetings, Mother Li originally wanted to thank Gu Yu for always cooking meals for Li Baishi and let him stay for dinner, but Gu Yu recalled that he had to take a bus to Jiang Rongye’s place at night so he declined.
Seeing Mother Li here, Gu Yu was embarrassed to stay any longer. He was not a person who could get along well with elders, and today’s update has been sent out, so he took the computer home.
There was no electricity or water at home. Gu Yu’s computer’s battery will soon run out and he can’t write his manuscripts, so he simply lay on the sofa and browsed the weibo.
He only has one weibo account, which is the author’s one.
He has a lot of fans, but the frequency of his posting on weibo is not high. After all, he doesn’t know what to post. Generally, the only thing he does on the Internet except writing is watching anime series, manga, and movies. Occasionally, he plays games together with Li Baishi. However, because his enthusiasm for games always lasts on a short while, hence he never plays games in the long-term.
When he browsed Li Baishi’s weibo account, he saw a post from half an hour ago. The content was a repost of that COSER Weibo. On the reposted content, he wrote [Not domineering! Not domineering at all! But just now, a certain person from the original work actually said that it was similar to the original character!]
Originally this weibo post was nothing, but Gu Yu found that it particularly has many comments below. He was curious and look at those comments. The first popular one was sent by a person with ID “Zero Seven”.
07: Thank you Lord Yu for your compliment 🙂 Is this Wu Fu not domineering? Then I have to be more domineering on the expo. I’ll wait for you.
Gu Yu realized that this person was the COSER on the picture, then he continued to look at the next comment and found that the contents of the comment section below were abruptly changed——
——WTF! Daddy Silent Night Thought, You’re mentioning someone!!!
——Wow! Daddy Silent Night Thought and Daddy Remainder are showing PDA again~
——Jingyu(1) shipper, hold me tight!
——I actually saw Daddy 07. The last doting tone is really! Daddy 07 you are going to snatched Daddy Silent Night Thought from Daddy Remainder Ao Ao Ao Ao Ao! By the way, this is Yujing shipper~

——What should I do if Qijing(2) feels delicious too! Daddy 07 your last words are too spoiled, Aaah!!
……
Gu Yu’s hand that was holding his phone was trembling.
Bullshit! He and Li Baishi show PDA? They have an affair?
What the hell are these!
