Yu Antong took a look. The eighth most searched video was a video of him meeting Yu Qingnian a few days ago.
This kind of video could trend on Weibo? Why?
Yu Antong took a closer look and found that the cause of the incident was a person who went to the Sang Yu’s restaurant for dinner, secretly photographed him, and then submitted it to a famous account who often reposted various handsome guys.
<Handsome Guys Appreciation V>: Contribution by fans. Caption: “I went out to eat and met a good-looking xiao gege. The content of the conversation was comparable to a dog-blooded TV series.” [Video]
This Weibo was reposted by several similar famous accounts who posted all kinds of handsome guys. Because the central topic was about rich and powerful people’s dirty laundry, it was very popular. Other famous accounts kept reposting it, while the netizens commented and ate their melon.
[Xiao gege is so handsome~ I hope that old man will pay your money back quickly.]
[Has anyone found out which rich family is this?]
[Do you need a script to shoot handsome guys now? Hahaha, it’s quite interesting.] (clarification: the commenter means that the content of their conversation is very drama-like, so they joked that it’s actually scripted.)
[I want to watch the continuation.]
[Where’s the sequel?]
The video started when Yu Antong mentioned that he wanted to get his inheritance back. It did not mention the Yu family nor the Xing family, so no one really found out their identity. Besides, most netizens were content with just watching the video as-is. Yu Antong’s good-looking face was enough for them to lick1“licking X” = appreciate/fangirling over/etc, after all.
Originally, such a Weibo would not have risen to the top ten most searched, but a good-natured netizen pointed out that the restaurant in the video was the infamous restaurant owned by Sang Yu. Suddenly, the trend of the comments changed.
[Told you that people who dined in a xiaosan2小三 “little three”; a slang for “mistress”, regardless of gender (eh it’s more used for women but still. The word itself isn’t gendered.). I chose not to translate this because I don’t know other good terminology in English that isn’t female-coded. restaurant are equally rubbish as him.] )
[I bet this was just a publicity stunt. Truly, there’s no bottom line for the sake of popularity.]
[Xiaosan’s new whitewashing method?]
[If this is an actual drama, the title should be “The 60 Million Legacy” or something. That would be hilarious.]
[This was such an obvious PR movement. Only idiots would believe this was a “candid video”.]
[This xiao gege is good at acting. If he debuts, I will definitely watch the TV series he acts in.]
[Let’s put it this way: if his identity couldn’t be found, then it’s definitely staged.]
[Why don’t you just cremate me if you’re so hot3it’s kinda a pun, as “hot” is slang for “popularity”.? I will scold everyone who eats in this disgusting restaurant!]
Whenever Sang Yu was involved, a bunch of his anti-fans would start fighting with their keyboard, slandering him and making sure his reputation was unsalvageable. Yu Antong was just a man caught in this crossfire.
After understanding the situation, Sun Ming said in a daze, “No wonder a lot of people looked at you on the road just now…. it’s probably because of this. By the way… Antong, your family is actually rich?”
Zhao Peng also doubted life. “You really hide it very deep, my dude.”
‘My impoverished roommate with dozens of part-time jobs is actually a young master with 60 million yuan net worth??’ Both of them thought.
Han Lele looked at the shocked and stupid faces of his two roommates, and thought to himself, ‘You haven’t seen his husband. He’s even richer.’
Yu Antong clarified, “No, I’m really poor. My uncle has all my money, and I’m trying to get it back.”
After all, they were all college students who hadn’t graduated. In the video, both Zhao Peng and Sun Ming immediately imagined the scene of Yu Antong, a helpless little poor boy, being cruelly abused by his unscrupulous uncle.
Zhao Peng was filled with righteous indignation, “No wonder people say that rich and powerful families are sinister. Your uncle is really vicious. But those netizens who didn’t know the situation also dared to maliciously speculate on your life. Tch. So annoying.”
Sun Ming turned on his computer and wanted to participate in this battle in order to defend Yu Antong. “Ugh. If I can’t scold back these stupid keyboard warriors with my legendary hand speed4the original was “with the speed of a 20-years old single man”, which is a popular phrase. It is implied that the speaker has fast hand speed because they are single – and thus, use that hand to masturbate often., I will regret being born!”
Seeing these two roommates spiral out of control, Han Lele pushed Yu Antong and comforted him, “Don’t take it to heart. Those netizens are brainless. Do you want me to help find someone to suppress the hot search? My family knows people in this industry.”
Yu Antong returned the phone to Zhao Peng, before answering, “No, don’t do that. If you want to help me, find someone to make the matters bigger.”
Han Lele didn’t expect that answer, “Huh?”
This answer also confused both Zhao Peng and Sun Ming. So, Yu Antong explained his reasoning to them, earning them their admiration for his sexy brain.
Zhao Peng gave a thumbs up, “You rich people are terrible.”
Sun Ming was convinced by Yu Antong. He stopped typing. “You rich people are very scheming, indeed! Hahaha! Let’s wait for these keyboard warriors to be slapped in the face5counterattacked because of their own assumptions..”
Han Lele patted Yu Antong, as a symbol of his support. “Don’t worry, I promise to help you.”
Seeing that the bottom of the pot was finally bubbling, Zhao Peng hurriedly said, “Fuck. Finally, finally! Hurry up, get the food! I’m starvinggg!!!”
The four young men’s attention immediately diverted to the more important matters. They zoomed in and circled the boiling pot and forgot about the whole “Yu Antong is secretly rich” matter. Food was the priority, especially when it tastes this good.
Halfway through the meal, Yu Antong mentioned that he wanted to open a restaurant.
Han Lele was the first to express full support, “It’s only a matter of time. The world will lose out if you don’t open a restaurant with that level of skill. I will definitely support you!”
In his mind, he actually had his own calculations. They would graduate in half a year, and Yu Antong’s skill was on the top of the cream. If he supported him now, he would get sweet, sweet discounts and priority on that restaurant.
Morning! Noon! Evening! Full 365 days a year! He can eat whenever he wants!!
Han Lele was happy just thinking about it, but he controlled his expression so as to not let his gluttony be too visible. “Sigh… thanks to your cooking, I’ve been daydreaming about eating them for breakfast, lunch, dinner… Uhm.. anyways, if you open a restaurant, consider me your lifelong loyal customer. I promise to send you a pair of big flower baskets on the opening.”
Zhao Peng and Sun Ming also raised their hands in agreement. Both of them were very excited, not forgetting to praise him as they ate.
Yu Antong said with a flattered smile, “Look how excited you are. I just mentioned it casually. Besides, I’m not sure if it will be successful or not. I have to wait until I get the money back from my uncle.”
With that, Han Lele’s determination to help Yu Antong rose to unprecedented levels.
Opening a restaurant or starting a business in a big metropolitan like A City was risky. The housing prices were too exorbitant for middle-income families like Zhao Peng’s or Sun Ming’s to afford. However, this didn’t affect their imagination and excitement.
While being stimulated by the spicy hot pot, Zhao Peng said, “You don’t need to sell anything else, just sell the hot pot base. I’ve already thought up the trademark for you, call it Lao Gan Ba6a parody of Lao Gan Ma, a famous chili sauce brand..”
Sun Ming commented, “Also, it’s best to open a chain restaurant all over the country! So that I can eat it in my hometown~”
“Come here!” Han Lele picked up the can of beer, and all of them gathered closer in a circle.
Han Lele raised the beer high. His voice was boisterous as he proclaimed, “I wish Antong will become a billionaire as soon as possible, and his restaurants will open all over the country!”
“Hahaha, cheers!”
They said this in a joking manner, but they knew in their hearts that Yu Antong really could make it big.
In the office of the Xingshi Group’s President–
Xing Lixuan ate the lunch ordered by his assistant, but felt that it was bland and unpalatable.
The phone rang, and Xing Lixuan quickly picked up the phone that was conveniently placed for him to snuck glances.
Seeing the caller ID clearly, Xing Lixuan purposefully slowed down his speed of answering the call, “Hey, why did you remember to call me?”
“Tsk, I can call you whenever I like. I’m your brother7close friend, not biological brother. after all!” Qi Jingyao on the other end of the phone crossed his legs. During this call, he opened up his web browser, which was frozen on a certain hot search.
Then, two notification rings sounded out. Qi Jingyao sent something for him.
Qi Jingyao said, “Look, is this the person you just married?”
They have been friends for many years. While Qi Jingyao’s image was that of a foolish dandy, he was actually quite capable and cunning. Otherwise, he couldn’t befriend Xing Lixuan.
The Qi family owned an entertainment company, so Qi Jingyao was keen on keeping up with the current viral topics. When he checked Weibo today, he saw this trending video and he found out that the young man on the video looked awfully familiar to him.
Thinking about it carefully, he realized this was the person his brother was forced to marry not long ago. Then, he quickly contacted Xing Lixuan.
Qi Jingyao asked, “Have you finished reading the hot search? How about it? Do you want me to ask someone to help you suppress it?”
Xing Lixuan frowned at the overwhelming abuse and taunts all over Weibo. He might not love his nominal wife, but this was too much. He agreed on Qi Jingyao’s offer. “Help me delete all of these, thank you. “
He didn’t know if Yu Antong saw this or not.
Although this guy was quite shameless in front of him, he still was a college student in his early twenties. There’s no doubt he couldn’t handle such large-scale cyber violence.
“What are you being polite about?” Qi Jingyao smiled, “But, your wife seems to have a personality and is not easy to mess with.”
In the video, the good-looking young man was eloquent in his speech. He successfully cornered his uncle – who was in charge of many companies – with a few choice words.
Hearing Qi Jingyao’s comment, Xing Lixuan quipped back, “He has more than just a difficult personality.”
Ever since the quarrel that day, Yu Antong was angry when he saw him. He was insistent on his cold shoulder treatment.
The thing was… Xing Lixuan had already tasted Yu Antong’s craft. It was delicacies that suited him. Sadly, it made him compare every meal with that, which only emphasized how bland those were.
When Qi Jingyao mentioned Yu Antong, he used “wife” in order to tease Xing Lixuan. He knew that his friend didn’t want to get married.
But unexpectedly, he didn’t hear Xing Lixuan’s rebuttal. This made him feel something was off. He hurriedly asked in worry, “Tell me, what’s going on?”
Qi Jingyao was also a big gossip in their friend circle. If he knew something, it would be spread within hours. Xing Lixuan, of course, knew of this. He answered with a casual, “Nothing.”
As he said this, Xing Lixuan threw the unsightly food on the table into the trash can. He hesitated for a moment, but then asked, “What gift would you be happy with?”
“You want to give me a gift? On what occas– ooh!” Qi Jingyao was flattered. His friend could be so sweet at times!
Qi Jingyao put down his crossed legs, stood up and took two steps forward. “If you don’t remind me, I will forget that my birthday is coming up next month. I’m not used to you being so polite all of a sudden. Anyways, no need to give me a special gift or anything like that. I’ll accept anything you give me. Oh, oh, if anything, it’s better to get together with our brothers!”
Xing Lixuan actually didn’t remember Qi Jingyao’s birthday. He felt guilty, but he regained his composure not long after. “Got it” Let the Qi family heir think of this, a little white lie wouldn’t hurt.
He then hung up the phone.
Qi Jingyao, on the other hand, didn’t waste any time and immediately started to brag in their group chat.
<Qi Jingyao>: My birthday is going to be a big one this year!
<Bao Ji>: Why?
<Wei Zhejun>: Is it because you are celebrating your 80th birthday?
<Qi Jingyao>: Nope! Just now, Xing Lixuan specifically asked me what gift I want. Look at me, then look at yourself. We both are his brothers, but the gap is so big! Reflect this yourself.
<Bao Ji>: How many bottles of wine have you drunk?
<Wei Zhejun>: We will raise money to give you a plate of chestnuts8A local superstition that eating them will make you smarter..
<Xing Lixuan>: …
At night, Yu Antong was about to take a bath. He opened the closet to get his pajamas. However, to his surprise, his originally barely-filled closet was filled to the brim with clothes of various styles.
He flipped through it and found that the clothes’ size was too small to be Xing Lixuan’s. He took one and compared it to himself, and it seemed to be just right.
Yu Antong thought of something and it made him smile. ‘This dog man. If you want to show me your favor, just say it. Why are you still playing like this? Boring!’
He took a few clothes and ran to the gym on purpose. There, he shamelessly asked Xing Lixuan about everything, “Whose clothes are these? They fill up my closet~”
Xing Lixuan glanced at him, then adjusted his breath while continuing running, “I bought it for you. So it’s yours.”
Yu Antong leaned against the side of the treadmill. He coyly stretched out his hand to stop the treadmill, and said proudly, “If you apologize to me, I will forgive you.”
Before the fight, he and Xing Lixuan had sex almost every day. But because of that incident, he was starved from this warmth. This was uncomfortable, but he didn’t want to take the initiative to show weakness. He had more pride than that.
Well, now that Xing Lixuan took the initiative to show his favor, Yu Antong immediately caught on to this.
Xing Lixuan got off the treadmill. He looked at Yu Antong’s arrogant appearance. In the end, he compromised… for the sake of his appetite. “I was wrong. I’m sorry.”
“Not bad, not bad~” Yu Antong discarded any semblance of shame and threw himself into Xing Lixuan’s arms. He was satisfied, which reflected with his chirpy voice, “Smelly husband, I have already said that you are not allowed to be cold and violent. There will be no next time!”
The “criminal” who was labeled as cold and violent: “…”
He had been used to not getting flirted with by Yu Antong. Now that he heard this coquestish call, the hairs on Xing Lixuan’s body stood as he shuddered.
He was impressed, actually. Yu Antong was an adult man, how on earth could he be this coquettish and pretentious? How thick was his face?
Yu Antong, who hadn’t been intimate with Xing Lixuan for several days, put his arms around Xing Lixuan’s neck and acted like a spoiled concubine, “Husband, you coax me.”
Xing Lixuan said sullenly, “How?”
Inside Yu Antong’s mind, a part of his brain recalled that this looked like a plot featuring a silly white sweet9a type of character that is very innocent and naive, but in a likable kind of way. protagonist.
Hey, he had more dignity than that. Let’s not go in that direction.
Yu Antong exchanged a glance with Xing Lixuan with his flamboyant red phoenix eyes, then quickly lowered his head.
He endured a strong sense of shame and demanded, “Husband, can you call me baby?”
Xing Lixuan’s scalp tingled when he heard this. How could he call this kind of name out loud?
After a moment of silence, Xing Lixuan finally found a way out. He directly carried Yu Antong to the bedroom, and personally “coaxed” him to satisfaction.
Sometimes actions speak louder than words.
Afterwards, Xing Lixuan brought up the incident on Weibo, “Don’t worry about it, I’ve already asked someone to remove the hot search.”
Yu Antong, who was about to fall asleep, sat up in shock, “Xing Lixuan, do you have a grudge against me?!”
The author has something to say:
Yu Antong: “Help me by making it bigger.”
Xing Lixuan: “I’ve asked my friend to remove the trending topic.”
Yu Antong: “ALDKJFALIDHALJDLS!!!! (＃`Д´) (＃`Д´) “
