Mr. Yuan is Always Unhappy - Chap 82
CH82 – WHAT THE HELL IS LIANGYUAN?
Fang ShiQing, who didn’t return at all Sunday night, came to grab his suitcase Monday evening. He looked like he had been moisturized excessively. With a radiant smile on his face, he declared that he was going to end his life away from home.
“You guys reconciled?” Yuan Rui was also pretty happy and advised: “Wang Qi is so good towards you, you shouldn’t cause trouble every other day. He’s so busy with work, yet when he gets home, he still has to coax you like a child. If it continues like this and he ends up annoyed, you’re the one who’s going to be secretly crying.”
After being left to dry for a dozen days this time, Fang ShiQing actually felt pretty unsettled as well and regretted it slightly. Yesterday when he saw Wang Qi, he apologized, pleaded, sajiao’d, and made all sorts of promises to never do it again. Yet how could he admit this in front of Yuan Rui? Stubborn, he said: “He dares to be annoyed with me? He likes it when I am dramatic towards him. If I don’t act dramatic for two days, he’d feel uncomfortable all over. Coaxing me makes him happy.”
Yuan Rui watched him fold the clothes haphazardly and throw them casually into the suitcase. Unable to bear it, he helped Fang ShiQing refold the clothes properly and said: “Look, you can’t even fold a piece of clothes properly. He’s really pampered you.”
Fang ShiQing said obstinately: “You’re the one who spoils your boyfriend. Even going to the bathroom, he’s calling you over to hold his bird. If it were me, I would have beaten this guy to death with a stick already.”
Face slightly red, Yuan Rui said: “It hasn’t been like that for a long time. Now he aims extremely accurately.”
Fang ShiQing said exaggeratedly: “Aiya, your family’s baobao is really impressive, peeing in the right place already in his 30s. That’s really too impressive. Mama Yuan, you’ve really educated him well.”
Mama Yuan: “…….”
Returning from work, Zheng QiuYang ran straight into Fang ShiQing downstairs. The other was dragging his luggage and about to leave. The two people gave each other one more round of insults before returning to their respective homes delightedly.
Today Zheng QiuYang’s mom had called her son specifically again, asking if he had chased out the little vixen yet. He still feigned awkwardness and reluctance for a bit and got scolded viciously over the phone by his mom for being shameless.
Everything was perfect now. Inside the elevator while going upstairs, he sent his mom a WeChat message, saying he had sent Fang ShiQing away.
His mom immediately called over: “He really left? Don’t try to hoodwink me.”
Zheng QiuYang sighed and said in an anguished tone: “He really left.”
“It’s good that he left. So promiscuous looking, what’s there to miss?” His mom chided him a bit and then said: “This matter has flipped the page. Don’t have any more interactions with him in the future, do you hear me? When you return, treat Yuan Rui a little better. Since you did such a shameful deed, don’t be so impudent, trying to act like a lord at home and waiting for other people to serve you.”
Secretly delighted, Zheng QiuYang said deliberately: “This is the only good point he has, yet you won’t even let me use it. Someday, I’ll meet another promiscuous one and bring him home for you to meet.”
Mama Zheng said furiously: “Before when the experience was still fresh, you protected the guy like he was everything. Now you’re already bored to this extent? Why don’t you have a little respect!”
As they spoke, Zheng QiuYang stopped at the entrance to his home. Not in a hurry to enter, he continued to say to his mom: “You don’t like him anyways. Perhaps the next one I switch to will be more suitable to your tastes.”
“Bah!” Mama Zheng said: “Even your aunt has seen the video of the two of you kissing, and she told me ‘There’s nothing wrong with liking men, Yuan Rui is pretty good.’ You dare change partners and see, see if I don’t break your leg.”
Zheng QiuYang said in surprise: “Aunt? Which aunt?”
Mama Zheng said: “How many uncles do you have? You tell me which aunt?”
Even after mealtime was done, Zheng QiuYang continued to smile nonstop.
Yuan Rui placed some food in his bowl and asked him: “Did something good happen? You’re so happy?”
Zheng QiuYang said with a smile: “Something good did happen. You know how my mom split with my old man? My uncle and aunt heard about it and everyone went to hang at my mom’s place. The knot in their hearts for many years was suddenly resolved.”
Hearing this, Yuan Rui also felt very happy and said: “Aunty must be extremely happy. Ultimately, a person’s own brother and sister are different from outsiders. This is really great.”
Zheng QiuYang said: “She’s over the moon. She even said that when I get a break, she’ll bring me to our relative’s place to meet everyone.”
“That’s expected. You need to buy a lot of gifts.” Yuan Rui said as well: ” Pick the good stuff to buy.”
Zheng QiuYang looked at him smiling: “My uncle’s daughter, my cousin, is your fan. How about you sign a photo for her?”
Yuan Rui thought he was joking and said: “Stop playing, I’m talking seriously.”
Zheng QiuYang said: “How am I not serious? She’s the administrator of your forum page on Baidu, and also the President of the Beijing Branch of your fanclub.”
Yuan Rui: “…….”
Zheng QiuYang said: “No joke. That’s what her mom said to my mom.”
Not even bothering to eat anymore, Yuan Rui said in a flustered manner: “During such a tear-jerking occasion like a family union, why was she talking to your mom about this?”
Zheng QiuYang smiled a bit proudly and said: “They were chatting and started talking about me. My mom didn’t want to come out of the closet for me so she vaguely said I’m not married yet. However, my uncle said they all knew I’m dating you. My mom was completely dumbfounded. My aunt took the initiative to reveal that my cousin was your fan. Last time when the video of us kissing came out, the fans had already figured out that person was me.”
Yuan Rui gulped and said nervously: “How did they figure it out?”
Zheng QiuYang thought to himself: The merit might partially belong to his former girlfriend.
“Who knows how they dug it out. Don’t worry. They only figured it out within the fan groups. No one went to public places such as the forums or Weibo to talk about this. My cousin actually rarely saw me in the past. After listening to her little friends speculating in the group for a while, she thought the figure of the person seemed a bit familiar and showed it to my uncle. As soon as my uncle saw it, he smacked his thigh.” As Zheng QiuYang talked, he smacked his thigh hard: “Aiya my god, isn’t this my nephew?!”
Yuan Rui: “Hahaha.”
Zheng QiuYang also laughed and said: “Thanks to my cousin, their entire family became your casual fans. They praised you quite awhile in front of my mom.”
Yuan Rui became nervous again: “Aunty didn’t get angry?”
Zheng QiuYang said: “What would she be angry about? Everyone was praising her son-in-law. She practically broke down with pride.”
Yuan Rui felt like he was exaggerating too much and said: “You keep making stuff up randomly to make me happy.”
Zheng QiuYang held up a chopstick and swore: “I’m really not making stuff up randomly. My mom said it herself to have me treat you a bit better and stop ordering you around like I’m a lord or something. She even threatened me, saying if I dare to act like a playboy outside, she will break my leg for.”
Seeing that he didn’t seem to be lying, Yuan Rui said incredulously: “Doesn’t she dislike me? This is too sudden. It doesn’t seem like I did anything to gain her favor?”
Zheng QiuYang said firmly: “What do you mean you didn’t do anything? You taught me not to talk back to her; my ears practically have calluses from hearing it. And you little penny pincher, not even willing to eat apples that cost a dozen yuan. Yet when you purchased imported cherries for her in the fall, you were so amazingly generous, an entire crate per purchase. Even when you endorsed a skincare product, you remembered to ask for a set for her. That time when she twisted her wrist, I was careless and completely unconcerned, but you had specifically bought medicinal cream and a wrist brace for her. What else do you want to do? My mom just has a sharp tongue, but she remembers all the good things you’ve done for her inside her heart.”
Yuan Rui blinked, feeling a slight sweetness in his heart. Maybe Mama Zheng doesn’t remember everything he had done and said, but Zheng QiuYang definitely remembers.
Wednesday and Thursday were two intense days of filming for <>. This time Yuan Rui didn’t get first place, but he also didn’t finish dead last.
After Liang Xi got eliminated on episode 1, a female singer was eliminated on episode 2.
The video network spent quite the money to buy the copyright of this program. If the online click rate was not good enough, it basically meant losing 1/4th of the network’s money. Therefore, in the later announcements of the show, there was a resolute sense of ‘throwing in all the bets and cutting off all methods of retreat’. Marketing promotions were purchased left, right, and center. In addition, all the esteemed guests had huge fan bases that discussed the program heatedly on their own and increased the popularity spontaneously. There was still a month before the scheduled launch time. They had only finished filming the 2nd episode and the program was already getting more popular, entering trending topics everyday for different reasons. The network saw the opportunity and released a trailer aptly. They also very craftily hyped up the most trending CP— Liang(Liang Xi) x Yuan(Yuan Rui). A few days later, the main page of the B Station also became occupied by this program.
The circumstances were excellent. Only Zheng QiuYang threw a huge temper at home while he got online to curse at the fans for their poor willpower. When the kissing video was released last time, didn’t everyone say that he and Yuan Rui matched very well? Now they were so quickly in love with Liang Xi what the heck!
The most unfair thing was that back then, because he’s shorter than Yuan Rui, everyone forcibly fantasized him as the Shou. Liang Xi was even shorter than him. How come Liang Xi was the Gong?
And the fcking “LiangYuan forever, push”, pei pei pei!
