Chapter 49.1 - An anti that goes too deep naturally becomes a fan 2
Bonus WNSYM chapter to match Dillycat's sponsored chapters ๐๐
*
That night, the people who participated in the big grilled skewers event included Qiao Yijing, Xiao Lin and Xia Ziyang.
Wearing sunglasses at night wasn’t exactly appropriate and wearing a face mask while trying to eat wouldn’t be comfortable.
So Mu Cheng and Tang Xiao just wore hats as disguises.
H City had a street filled with food and they had a food festival too so the 5 people rushed towards the grilled skewers section.
They quickly ordered a round and snacked on chips while they waited for their skewers.
The local news also purposely asked a reporter to livestream the food festival too.
As a result, Mu Cheng and Tang Xiao made an unwitting appearance in the background.
The camera panned to them and at that moment, Mu Cheng was pinching Tang Xiao’s face.
The most important part was that the reporter hadn’t recognised who they were in that group, he even very excitedly asked Tang Xiao a question, “Excuse me, what do you think of the food festival tonight?”
Tang Xiao was a bit dumbfounded at the question, answering a bit dumbly, “It’s alright.”
The reporter continued to ask, “Did you bring your friends along too?”
Tang Xiao nodded.
The camera then panned away.
Before anyone had reacted, that section had already been streamed on TV.
H City’s citizens who were watching television, firstly, thought that the couple was a bit obvious with their PDA, clicking their tongues.
When they looked again, they finally reacted, f***!
Wasn’t this the Tang Xiao who was on the headlines!
F****!
To her side, isn’t that Mu Cheng!!!!
The internet exploded.
Su Bai’s fans all congregated and started swearing on Tang Xiao’s Weibo, spitting that she got in between Su Bai and Mu Cheng.
Whereas Mu Cheng’s fans rubbed their hands in joy.
Mu Cheng had been a bit too loveless lately, and even with Su Bai’s rumours, there were no photos!
It was all a fan’s fantasies.
So as they watched Mu Cheng’s colleagues in the entertainment circle marry off, one by one, only Mu Cheng had no movement.
Even the entertainment’s big wigs wondered if Mu Cheng was homosexual.
But now this was streamed, their male idol did like girls!
Male idol finally doesn’t have to continue being other people’s best man!
Their hard earned money finally didn’t have to be other people’s red pockets!
But in the outside world, there were more people who said Tang Xiao was holding onto Mu Cheng’s thigh.
Xiao Lin turned off comments on Tang Xiao’s Weibo but there were still a lot of netizens who were online and spreading comments.
Of course, Tang Xiao wasn’t the only one who got famous overnight.
The reporter that night, also got famous.
He was facing Tang Xiao, Mu Cheng as well as QIao Yijing, and actually didn’t recognise a single face? He even treated them like ordinary citizens and interviewed them.
And Tang Xiao even honestly answered truthfully.
These two people suddenly became the ‘dumbfounded couple’.
The meme appeared on some corner of Weibo, something about Tang Xiao being the true depiction of ‘dumbfounded’.
Or, it was two actors, a director, relying on grilled skewers to try to get on the news.
When Tang Xiao watched the stream, she felt like her face was really stupid.
Chief Ning rushed over and didn’t say anything before rolling up his sleeves and wanting to beat her up.
The air conditioner’s remote was already in his hand as Tang Xiao jumped and dodged behind Mu Cheng.
“Come out here.” Chief Ning was clearly furious.
These two days, he’d been extremely busy.
In a single distracted moment, he missed it and this happens?
“Don’t hurt her.” Mu Cheng said.
“Did Tang Xiao eat your family’s rice growing up? She’s not yours to take care of.”
Mu Cheng didn’t give in. “She can eat my family’s rice.”
The two people were stuck in a deadlock, neither letting the other get an advantage.
Mu Cheng protected Tang Xiao as Chief Ning wanted to drag Tang Xiao out.
In the end, she was protected well.
For the sake of not making Chief Ning feel awkward, Xiao Lin very considerately gave her arm to him so he could pull on her arm instead.
Chief Ning threw the remote on the sofa. “Alright, come out. From a young age, when have I hit you?”
Tang Xiao smiled flatteringly, pulling at Chief Ning’s sleeve.
Normally, Chief Ning might hit her, roast her a bit, but once that’s over, it means it’s all clear.
“These few days, don’t leave the house. In the future, if you want to do anything, tell me first. Last night, the microphone was already passed in front of your face and you’re still slack jawed? When I saw your dumb face, I already wanted to shoot you off to the Philippines.” Chief Ning pinched his forehead.
Tang Xiao: …..
In the afternoon, they were originally supposed to wait for Chief Ning to prepare and pick them up to go back home.
But instead of Chief Ning, they got Su Bai instead.
Su Bai wore a long white dress, like a fairy.
Compared to Tang Xiao who was in jeans and a t-shirt, this was the difference between the heavens and the earth.
“I came to see if I could help you with anything.” Su Bai opened her mouth and this was what came out.
Tang Xiao silently sighed, smiling as she welcomed her inside.
“Last night, when you were filmed with Mu Cheng, it must have been disturbing for you.” Su Bai’s voice was pleasing to the ear, gentle and weak, especially moving.
Tang Xiao gave her a cup of milk, “It’s alright. I’m a bit dim-witted, so I don’t really care about what they think.”
Su Bai laughed, evidently understanding, “Tang Xiao, don’t be so opposed to me. I’m exactly like you so I understand you the best.”
Tang Xiao didn’t say anything, silently waiting for the next part of her words.
“When I first entered the entertainment centre, Mu Cheng was already standing at the top. He had a lot of fans, and fans don’t hope for their idols to get married. Even if they do get married, they hope that their idol will marry someone who will match up to them. I always thought that if I could become better, would I be able to stand by his side? So all of these years, I’ve been trying my hardest to stand by his side.” As Su Bai spoke, her expression was desolate. “But, now he’s already made his choice.”
“En.”
“Today, I came, because I heard director Qiao say that you can go even further. So if you can, why not try it out? Become someone even better, someone worthy of standing by Mu Cheng’s side.”
Su Bai’s words stirred something in Tang Xiao.

TL note:
Other people’s red pockets - you give red pockets to the married couple, so in this case, they finally didn’t have to give other people red pockets, but they could give their idol a red pocket for his marriage.

Time to bet on whether or not Su Bai is actually a Green Tea Bitch or not. I vote yes.
ReplyDeleteI also think yes
DeleteYes for me as well.. (เฒ ∩เฒ )
DeleteSu Bai has been the enemy from the beginning ๐๐
DeleteWell, ever since she's been rumoured to be with Mu Cheng and came to Mu Cheng's house ๐ฃ๐ฃ
DeleteI think she's the only real antagonist in this novel ๐ฅ๐ฅ
DeleteWoah! For a moment I thought that Su Bai was going to say that TX wasn't worth of Mu Cheng and should give up and hand him to her, good she didn't or I would be cursing her ancestors.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what is the relationship of chief Ning and TX..... because they seem to know each other for years and he is quite protective of her..... is she his father's illegitimate child or something?
My bet is that she's trying to lure TX into some sort of trap
DeleteI think she did.. not deliberately but with this line of hers:
Delete"they hope that their idol will marry someone who will match up to them."
It is like saying to her that they are not match cause he is a God and she is dimwitted.
Also, Su Bai pushing Tang Xiao to focus on her career, although it sounds good but the timing is not right. It is like making Tang Xiao confirming the speculation that she really is holding Mu Cheng's thigh.
Oh and about CN and TX, I'm also quite curious who is he in TX's life. Maybe an uncle? Cousin? Feels like he is a family. (´⌣`สฦช)
The typical scenario would've been Su Bai ranting about how TX doesn't deserve Mu Cheng ๐คง๐คง
Delete@Anon, it stinks like a trap ๐๐
Delete@LNZealot
DeleteSu Bai definitely sounds like she's pushing an agenda ๐ค๐ค
As someone who came from Philippines, I am not sure if the author was insulting my country or not. I honestly felt offended by it. I love this novel, but I am not sure what the author wanted to imply by such sentence.
ReplyDeleteThe author just meant that Chief Ning would kick her off somewhere far away. There's no negative connotation? ๐คท๐ป♀️๐คท๐ป♀️
DeleteChief Ning! If you really want to shoot TX in the Philippines, I won't say anything and even agree. ( ՞เจ՞)
ReplyDeleteMy house is not that big but I'll openly accept TX in my humble abode. (ใท_ _)ใท
I could also be her assistant like Xiao Lin if she wants to start a career here. ( ՞เจ՞)
I'd gladly accept TX in my house (because I'd get to see Mu Cheng ha) ๐๐
DeleteDumbfounded couple, lol.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Very apt description for TX ๐๐
Delete“She can eat my family’s rice"
ReplyDeleteK.O. I Died from too much fluff.
Aaaahhhhhhh.... Mu Cheng moves was so swift.
Mu Cheng is smooth ๐๐
DeleteLol Mu Cheng's fan was so nice hahaha
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, that Su Bai is cooking up something evil up her sleeves..
Thanks for the chapter~
Down with Su Bai ๐๐
DeleteStop it, SU BAI! don't make us hate you!!!!!!!!!

this time MC is guarding TX's meat body irl
Mu Cheng is too sweet, he needs to stop being nice to Su Bai too ๐ค๐ค
DeleteWhen he said the Philippines, I was like: here? Hehehe
ReplyDeleteIn your dreams (I'd fly to the Phillipines in a heart beat) ๐ค๐ค
