Chapter 45.1

“You’ll… Do it?”

“Yes, I’ll do it.”

F*ck! You’re going to do this too?

Cao Dan felt that he was either deaf, or Shen Jue was crazy.

They wanted Gu Yanshu to cook, but Shen Jue did it for him. They wanted Gu Yanshu to go into the water, but Shen Jue went in his place. Now, even if they wanted Gu Yanshu to roleplay as a couple for views, Shen Jue still wanted to do it for him.

What was wrong with him?

And the problem was that Shen Jue and Jiang Tan were completely different. They had nothing to do with each other from the beginning to the end. How could they do this? If this couple became popular, would the show still be able to continue? Even if Shen Jue had a powerful backer behind him, he couldn’t just mess around, right?

Cao Dan couldn’t take it anymore and was on the verge of breaking down. He took a deep breath and said, “You really can’t do this.”

“?”

Can’t you talk nicely? How can that be what I mean?

Cao Dan was furious, but his desire to survive made him spit out two words with difficulty. “You’re definitely worthy!”

Then, he resolutely decided to bypass this point and explain other reasons. “But you’re an actor, and she’s an idol. There’s a wall between the two of you to begin with…”

Shen Jue interrupted him again, “Oh, by the way, let me remind you that I’m also an idol, and I was in the same group as Gu Yanshu.”

“…”

He was so f*cking reasonable.

Cao Dan was about to be angered to death by Shen Jue, and his tone became anxious. “But they’ve worked together on two talent competition variety shows before. They’ve been in the same frame very often, and have a good relationship. Jiang Tan even publicly said previously that Gu Yanshu is her ideal type. This coupling is very believable if used for publicity. On the other hand, you’re not familiar with her at all…”

“Who told you that we’re not familiar with each other?”

The corners of Shen Jue’s mouth curled up slightly, like he was smiling yet sneering at the same time. “I’ve known Gu Yanshu for close to eight years, of which two to three years were spent living closely together. I know very well what he likes or doesn’t like, which kind of expressionless look he has that shows he’s happy, and which kind of expressionless look he shows when he’s angry. If this is called not familiar, what is familiar?”

“Of course, it’s called familiarity, but… Huh?”

Cao Dan suddenly felt that something was wrong. He paused for a moment before reacting, his eyes widening as he did so. “You want to promote as a couple with Gu Yanshu?!”

“Otherwise?”

Shen Jue was so self-righteous that Cao Dan’s thoughts were completely stuck. He was stunned for a while before he stuttered, “No, wait. Why? Didn’t you avoid being with Gu Yanshu the most before…”

“Why would I do it?”

Shen Jue leaned back and interrupted him again. His tone was arrogant, as if he was announcing the proudest and most natural thing he had ever done.

“Because I like him.”

???

Cao Dan was completely dumbfounded.

What happened to avoiding arousing suspicion and breaking off relations for five years? ! Even if they had managed to avoid rumours that they were not homophobic, they didn’t have to directly turn gay, right?! Otherwise, wouldn’t those five years of breaking off ties be akin to two kids playing house and throwing tantrums?!

However, Shen Jue didn’t seem to think there was anything wrong with what he said at all. He just looked at the shocked Cao Dan and continued to say slowly, “I’ve liked him for seven whole years. I came on this lousy show just so that I could date him, but you made those nonsensical things up for me. So, tell me, why can’t I do it?”

He said it casually and arrogantly, like a domineering silkpants from head to toe. However, there wasn’t a moment when Cao Dan thought that he might be joking, because his dark eyes appeared serious and certain from the beginning to the end. There was also a sharpness in them that exuded a strong sense of unhappiness.

Cao Dan didn’t know what to say for a moment.
