Chapter 99 Part 3 (Ruan Yōu and Fu Jiazhan) 一 Fu Jiazhan: “I’m in love”
The variety show continued into its third day as usual.
Ruan Yōu slept again and woke up at 10:42.
Fu Jiazhan had prepared breakfast for everyone, and when Ruan Yōu woke up, he went back to the kitchen to make another serving.
With Fu Jiazhan’s words, Ruan Yōu dared to openly ignore him, pretending to be unfamiliar as she took the breakfast plate and sat in the living room, munching away.
They spent the whole day exploring the scenic spots arranged by the program team.
Before dinner, Ruan Yōu didn’t eat much.
Lu Jin asked the director to turn off the camera in the live broadcast room and practiced making longevity noodles alone. Ruan Yōu, along with Qi Zhiyan, Wen Juxi, Gu Fuchen, and Jiang Huai, played “Guess the Drawing” at the table several times, looking towards the kitchen, hoping to seize the opportunity to replace Lu Jin and help Fu Jiazhan make a bowl of longevity noodles. However, after several puzzled looks from Gu Fuchen, Ruan Yōu completely abandoned this idea.
At half past ten in the evening, the live broadcast room closed again.
Except for Fu Jiazhan, everyone else mysteriously followed Director Mu’s plan to prepare for the upcoming birthday party in an hour and a half.
Fu Jiazhan remained oblivious.
He had something on his mind today, and after the end of the live broadcast, he kept looking for an opportunity to talk to Gu Fuchen.
His heart was filled with dread as he thought about Ruan Yōu’s nightmare.
Fu Jiazhan’s eyes were deep.
Gu Fuchen, Ruan Yōu, Jiang Huai, Qi Zhiyan, and Wen Juxi followed the plan, sitting in the homestay living room to delay time.
Lu Jin and Lu Xuan were in the adjacent room setting up the birthday party scene.
The birthday cake was in the small room next to the interview room. At midnight, Gu Fuchen, Jiang Huai, and Lu Jin would push it over together. Then, everyone would sing a birthday song, say some blessings, and let Fu Jiazhan experience the joy of “getting older.” The birthday party would then conclude successfully.
Although Gu Fuchen harbored some dissatisfaction with the CP fanship between Fu Jiazhan and Yōuyōu, they were ultimately good friends. On this auspicious day, he chose not to bring it up with Fu Jiazhan.
Fu Jiazhan sat on the side, waiting for an opportunity.
It wasn’t until 11:35, that Gu Fuchen remained motionless, sitting there playing games with Ruan Yōu, going through various board games. Even after playing games like chess, checkers, and Chinese chess, the group hadn’t dispersed, and they started playing the game of “Who is the Spy.”
“I may be bored, but I won’t quit,” written all over their faces.
Fu Jiazhan frowned.
Staff came in to discuss tomorrow’s schedule with Ruan Yōu, and other staff went to the kitchen to replenish supplies. The homestay door remained open.
It was a bit chilly at night, and Ruan Yōu, not dressed warmly, tightly wrapped her knit coat.
Fu Jiazhan subconsciously went to the other side of the sofa and handed the blanket to her. Ruan Yōu took it smoothly.
Gu Fuchen glanced at them but remained silent.
Qi Zhiyan, Wen Juxi, and Jiang Huai also glanced at them.
However, they, Qi Zhiyan, Gu Fuchen, and Jiang Huai, didn’t think much about it.
Firstly, Yōuyōu was originally very cold.
Secondly, Fu Jiazhan was originally very thoughtful.
He noticed that Yōuyōu was very cold, and they didn’t notice. It was their own problem.
Gu Fuchen became serious.
No wonder his sister and Fu Jiazhan had so many CP fans online.
Thinking about it, with his level of caring for people, he should also have quite a few CP fans with Qi Zhiyan.
Gu Fuchen relaxed instead.
Fu Jiazhan didn’t want to hide it anymore and walked to Gu Fuchen’s side, “Want to go outside for some fresh air?”
Gu Fuchen raised an eyebrow.
He glanced at the time.
11:42.
Endure for another eighteen minutes, then take him to the birthday party venue.
“Okay.”
Gu Fuchen stood up. He had been sitting in the living room for a long time and was already tired.
Lu Jin and Lu Xuan happened to have finished tidying up the room and came back. Seeing Gu Fuchen and Fu Jiazhan going out, they were puzzled, “What are they going out for?”
Ruan Yōu, wrapped in a blanket, sat on the other side of the sofa, discussing the itinerary with the staff and didn’t pay attention to the others.
Qi Zhiyan: “go out for a walk.”
Lu Jin: “?”
“It’s so late, go out for a walk?”
While chatting, Director Mu rushed in anxiously: “Bad news, President Fu took President Gu to the interview room next door.”
Jiang Huai was stunned: “Is there cake there?”
Director Mu nodded.
Lu Jin: ??
“Why don’t you quickly stop them.”
Director Mu: “Can’t stop them. President Fu said there’s something very important to discuss with President Gu, and they must go to a quiet place where no one is.”
Qi Zhiyan frowned slightly: “Is there a camera there today?”
Director Mu nodded repeatedly.
But he dared not say it!
Originally, it was a storage room. For Fu Jiazhan’s birthday party, a camera was installed there to record the warm scene of Gu Fuchen, Lu Jin, and Jiang Huai giving the cake for Fu Jiazhan.
There was no live broadcast at night, but it would be in the form of a recorded broadcast, edited and aired later.
Fu Jiazhan’s birthday party is the highlight of the fourth episode recording.
Lu Xuan looked bitter: “Have they already gone in?”
“Yes.”
Gu Fuchen was caught off guard and was pushed in by Fu Jiazhan.
Lu Xuan shrugged: “If there’s no surprise, then there’s no surprise. Maybe he also remembers that tomorrow is his birthday?”
What made Lu Xuan curious was not this, but一一
“Why did Brother Jiazhan only ask Ruan Chenchen to go out?”
Wen Juxi roughly guessed what Fu Jiazhan wanted to do. Seeing others still confused, she couldn’t help but speak up and offer a few hints.
“I don’t know. After Fu Jiazhan gave Ruan Yōu a blanket, he stood next to Gu Fuchen, and the two of them went out.”
Lu Jin: “What blanket?”
Qi Zhiyan’s voice was indifferent: “The door opened just now, and Ruan Yōu felt a bit cold. We didn’t notice it, but Fu Jiazhan saw it and gave her a blanket.”
Lu Jin nodded: “Very thoughtful.”
Lu Xuan scratched her head: “Sister Qi, did Brother Jiazhan give you a blanket?”
“No.”
She turned her head to look at Wen Juxi.
“Nope.”
Jiang Huai didn’t care: “Mr. Rose Fu has always been thoughtful, just a blanket.”
Lu Xuan shook her head.
Falling in love made Lu Xuan particularly sensitive. Originally, she hadn’t paid much attention to the matter of the tomato fish. After watching the video of Fu Jiazhan and Yōuyōu’s CP yesterday, Lu Xuan always felt that things were not that simple.
She said solemnly:
“He only gave it to Yōuyōu.”
Jiang Huai was puzzled: “What’s wrong with giving it to the Bodhisattva Sister?”
Wen Juxi emphasized: “He only gave it to Yōuyōu.”
Lu Xuan nodded repeatedly.
“Brother, has Brother Jiazhan been thoughtful to you?”
Lu Jin shook his head.
“Brother Jiang Huai, how about you?”
Jiang Huai shook his head.
“Was Sister Qi cold just now?”
Qi Zhiyan remained silent.
There was a moment, indeed, it was very cold.
Lu Xuan: “So, he only showed care to Sister Yōuyōu, does this mean…”
Before the words fell, everyone’s gaze turned directly to Ruan Yōu.
Just after finalizing the schedule with the staff, Ruan Yōu rubbed her neck, raised her eyes, and met their intense gaze.
After the staff left, Lu Xuan asked with conviction:
“Sister Yōuyōu, the person that Brother Jiazhan likes is you, right?”
Ruan Yōu: …
At the same time,
Gu Fuchen and Fu Jiazhan sat in a small room next to the interview.
After entering, Fu Jiazhan saw the birthday cake and belatedly remembered that tomorrow was his birthday.
These past few days, he had something else on his mind, and the trivial matter of his birthday was completely forgotten.
Gu Fuchen: “Since you’ve seen it, I won’t hide it anymore. Tired.”
Gu Fuchen sat on the bench, yawning wearily, lazily asking, “What do you want to talk to me about?”
Fu Jiazhan hesitated.
Gu Fuchen chuckled lightly, checking his wrist.
“Don’t worry, there are still two minutes until your birthday. I won’t get angry no matter what you say. Let yourself have a happy and wonderful birthday.”
They both sat in front of a small table with a cake on it.
The cake was within arm’s reach.
The cake had three layers, and on the top layer stood a cute boss in a suit and tie.
Fu Jiazhan pondered for a while.
He didn’t want Yōuyōu to have nightmares about this matter again, and he especially didn’t want his princess to have any concerns or worries because of it.
Fu Jiazhan raised his eyes, and his deep gaze met Gu Fuchen’s. The scattered light in his eyes disappeared, and his expression became serious.
Gu Fuchen unconsciously restrained his smile.
The last time Fu Jiazhan was this serious was when he dealt with his cold-blooded relatives.
“What’s the matter? Something at the company?”
Fu Jiazhan: “I’m in love.”
His tone was solemn, but the ending tone involuntarily lifted, and when he said these four words, there was a hidden joy.
Gu Fuchen was stunned, and after returning to his senses, he seriously said, “It’s a good thing.”
Fu Jiazhan was in love, and his sister was relieved. She no longer had to be shipped with someone.
“Who’s the mysterious girl? I believe that no matter who it is, being with you will bring happiness. You are now the only national boyfriend among us. You possess all the good qualities a boyfriend should have. Being in a relationship with you will surely bring happiness.”
Gu Fuchen praised without reservation, afraid that Fu Jiazhan would break up with his mysterious girlfriend, and would get caught up in another scandal with his sister.
“Good thing, wish you both a long and happy relationship.”
The small room quieted down.
Fu Jiazhan hooked his pinky, originally not nervous, but after hearing these two sentences, his voice became hoarse.
The clock struck 12 officially.
Amidst the fiery fireworks of the program group, three words sounded in Gu Fuchen’s ears
“It’s Yōuyōu.”
One second after the “yōu” ending sound, there was a “pop” sound.
A cake landed on Fu Jiazhan’s face.
Taw’s Note: Hahaha, it’s funny seeing how Gu Fuchen reacted 🤣. But seriously, it’s not good to throw cake in someone’s face, poor Fu Jiazhan. (Though, it’s still better than getting punched in the face 🤭)
