RED Chapter 33

Chang Haoqing didn’t know that Rong Jin could come up with such imaginative solutions. He muttered, “You’re showing off to me. Why don’t you show me your Weibo fan list…”

Rong Jin: “…”

That night, Rong Jin couldn’t sleep.

When he closed his eyes, his mind was filled with barrage. Initially, it was all those comments from Chi Feiran’s fan video, with every word being reasonable and convincing. Then it turned into an overwhelming “he likes me,” and Rong Jin woke up.

The desert night was a bit chilly, but Rong Jin felt a bit overwhelmed by the heat.

He lifted the blanket, sat up from the bed, and started searching on his phone for “how to correct early teenage love.”

But just before clicking the confirm search button, he felt that something was off. Early love wasn’t scary; what was scary was not handling it correctly.

After quickly deleting that line, he re-entered the search option as “how to guide teenagers’ views on love correctly.”

Rong Jin supplemented his knowledge, feeling confident that he could properly guide the young ones.

However, due to insomnia, he habitually opened the video platform he often watched, preparing to relax by watching something random.

Unfortunately, on the homepage, there were the popular recommendations, and once again, it was a fan video of Chi Feiran’s signing event, but this time labeled “HD.”

Rong Jin: “…”

Actually, it’s not the fault of the video platform. After all, Chi Feiran is exploding in popularity now, and it’s impossible for the enthusiasm not to be high for his first offline fan event.

Rong Jin’s hands were faster than his brain. He clicked on it right away.

The video was indeed in HD, and the image was stable, clearly shot with professional equipment. When the camera zoomed in for a close-up, every detail of Chi Feiran’s expression on his face was magnified.

Barrage flooded both the video and Rong Jin’s mind.

At times, it was “he watches my movies and writes love songs.” At other times, it was “he likes me.”

Rong Jin silently closed the video, but memories of their previous WeChat chat resurfaced. Chi Feiran had said there was something else he wanted to tell him, but he was busy with work at that time and didn’t continue the conversation.

What did he want to say at that time?

Rong Jin, without thinking, opened WeChat again, staring at the voice message. Taking a deep breath, he clicked to listen to it again.

“Rong ge, actually, there’s something else…”

Rong Jin could analyze from the tone that the kid was probably hesitant to say it directly. It was something not easy to bring up…

And after he mentioned starting work, the kid didn’t send any more messages…

Rong Jin couldn’t quite describe the feeling in his heart, a mix of relief and something else. Thankfully, the kid didn’t impulsively confess. Otherwise, it would be so awkward. It’s better to pretend not to know for now.

He would guide the kid correctly later. Should be okay…

Rong Jin silently closed WeChat, thinking it might be better to contact each other less recently. He comforted himself, thinking maybe he was just overthinking. After all, the majority of people are of normal orientation.

While he intentionally reduced contact, Chi Feiran, on the other hand, was too busy. He not only had to participate in programs and shoot photos, but also took the time to shoot additional MVs. It was a time of intense busyness.

Although he wanted to send information to Rong Jin, every time he had a moment, it was too late. He was afraid of disturbing Rong Jin’s rest, and he was tired too. In case he disturbed others and then had no energy to chat, it wouldn’t be good.

Moreover, they had agreed to meet in B City after Rong ge finished work, and it was just a few days away.

Days in busyness passed especially quickly. In a blink of an eye, Chi Feiran was about to go to B City for the signing event. Before he left, he sent a message to ask when Rong Jin would arrive in B City and what time would be convenient for them to meet.

Rong Jin had actually been staying at his home in B City by then. When he received the message, he hesitated for a moment before replying, “I’m already in B City. You can decide based on your schedule.”

Chi Feiran had planned the free slots in his schedule. Although it wasn’t a long time, it was enough for them to have dinner together and chat about recent developments. He suggested, “How about dinner on the 8th? You choose the place.”

After hearing the voice message, Rong Jin instantly remembered when Chi Feiran mentioned treating him to a meal and jokingly said he’d choose the place himself.

The kid still remembered…

After some hesitation, Rong Jin replied, “How about you choose. I’m not picky about food.”

Unlike Chi Feiran, Rong Jin wasn’t choosy about what he ate. From before, it was always the crew or Chang Haoqing arranging what he would eat.

Chi Feiran didn’t refuse when he heard Rong Jin’s response. After thinking for a moment, he said, “Then let’s go to Qian Wei. I checked, and the reviews are pretty good.”

Rong Jin: “Hmm…”

So, did he do some homework in advance for this meeting…

Chi Feiran smiled: “Okay, let’s meet then. We’ll contact each other at that time.”

Beside them, Chen Mengyang, upon hearing “Qian Wei,” suddenly became lively. “Are we going to eat there? I checked the guide. They say if you come to B City and don’t eat at Qian Wei, it’s like you haven’t been. I wonder if it’s true!”

Chi Feiran said, “I made plans with Rong ge. We’ll go together.”

Chen Mengyang suddenly felt so happy. To be able to enjoy both gourmet food and idols at the same time!

Even on the side, Zhou Ya seemed quite pleased. Although Li Yuan wasn’t as visibly excited as the other two, he looked at the good relationship between Chi Feiran and Rong Jin and was content.

It’s quite funny, on the journey to B City, it turned out to be one of the rare moments of free time for Chi Feiran. Since he didn’t feel like sleeping, he took out his phone to play.

And then, he…

When Chi Feiran typed his name in the Weibo search bar, he felt a bit embarrassed. But when he saw his name automatically associated with Rong Jin’s, and he clicked on it without thinking…

Chi Feiran was shocked, and his phone nearly slipped from his hands. What… what is this!

Their names being associated was one thing, but why would these people make them a pair!

Struggling to contain his shock, Chi Feiran slowly read through those messages, realizing that there were just too many people with vivid imaginations in the world…

He thought he was just laughing normally! At most, he was a bit more dazzling, but that was because he couldn’t hold back his laughter when he thought about Rong Jin’s possible reaction.

But look at what these people were saying…

What’s with “this is love,” “I believe in love again,” “so sweet, I’m eating this CP up!”?

There were even people meticulously organizing the timeline. Chi Feiran had no idea who had such incredible skills, revealing even the fact that Rong Jin recommended him for the “Heroic Bones” crew.

Then Chi Feiran saw a blogger’s analysis: “Oh my, they are so sweet! Ranran little angel likes Rongrong, then joins the circle for him, writes songs for him, and then Rongrong picks him during the first performance, joins the ‘Heroic Bones’ crew, and then… sweet until fainting. This pair is so adorable, I can be a fan for a lifetime! I’m out, going to buy mint candies! Manual goodbye.”

Chi Feiran: “…”

Chi Feiran thought they should really consider writing novels; they were wasting their imagination. He was about to exit the interface when he saw another video with over ten thousand reposts. The blogger was named “Want-Sugar Little White Rabbit,” and it was tagged “JinRan,” with the title “Youthful Love.”

Chi Feiran couldn’t resist and clicked on it. The video was short, probably less than two minutes.

However, after watching it, the mental impact on Chi Feiran was immense.

The video was a compilation of Chi Feiran and Rong Jin, but the footage of Rong Jin used scenes from the movies he made in his early years. Since Chi Feiran didn’t have any released film or TV works yet, they used high-definition footage from his music performances, even including some behind-the-scenes footage of the latest MV. It seemed like they did their best to create a plot where young Rong Jin fell in love with the singing Chi Feiran.

The scenes originally of Rong Jin staring lovingly at the female lead were all edited to show him lovingly watching Chi Feiran sing.

Chi Feiran didn’t know what kind of black magic the blogger used, but they even managed to create scenes where the two of them were in the same frame. The video ended with the two of them smiling at each other, a happily-ever-after ending.

Chi Feiran closed Weibo with an expressionless face, deciding that he shouldn’t casually search his name anymore and should stop looking at random things…

Would Rong ge… see this?

Just the thought of this possibility made Chi Feiran feel so awkward. They had even arranged to have dinner together…

Then, on the evening of the 8th, Rong Jin saw a thoroughly awkward Chi Feiran.

Li Yuan and Chen Mengyang were in the next private room. Chi Feiran and Rong Jin sat facing each other. Chi Feiran’s eyes couldn’t help but shift away. It was impossible to make eye contact with Rong Jin.

Rong Jin: “…”

Rong Jin cleared his throat gently and took the lead: “How have you been lately?”

Chi Feiran: “…Pretty good.”

Awkwardness permeated the air, and Chi Feiran felt that his response was too dry. Rong ge cared about him, so how could he be so indifferent!

Chi Feiran gathered his spirits: “It’s just that the schedule is a bit too packed, feeling a bit tired.”

Rong Jin nodded. Although he appeared composed on the surface with the demeanor of a senior, inside, he was a mess. How should he steer the conversation toward matters of the heart? Directly discussing it didn’t seem appropriate.

He stayed silent, but on the other side, Chi Feiran felt the need to liven things up. After pondering for a while, he blurted out, “Rong ge, actually, there’s something…”

Rong Jin was taken aback: “Wait!”

Chi Feiran: “Oh.”

Rong Jin looked at Chi Feiran, who had come straight from the event venue and hadn’t removed his makeup yet. His cheeks looked rosy, perhaps because of the blush or maybe out of shyness.

Rong Jin swallowed his saliva and said, “There are some things I feel I should tell you. You’re young, and the entertainment industry is… with various temptations. But when it comes to emotions, you must be cautious…”

Chi Feiran was initially puzzled, then he realized: “Rong ge, don’t worry. I won’t casually like anyone.”

Concerning matters of the heart, he had always been very cautious. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have reached the end of university without ever having a romantic relationship.

Rong Jin: “…”

Was he telling me that because he already likes me, he won’t casually like someone else?


Author’s note:

Rong Rong: He really likes me after all.
