What a Coincidence, I'm a Top Too (Continued)

"It's not you anyway."

Wen Lin was heartbroken. "Can't I do it too? I can do anything for you."

Xie Jianyuan turned to leave while making a phone call, seemingly unwilling to stay any longer.

"Then don't bother me."

The call had just been connected when a loud phone ringing came from behind the wall around the corner.

Xie Jianyuan: "..."

He hung up the phone, called out "Brother Chun" in that direction, and waited for several seconds before a figure slowly peeked out from behind the wall.

Xu Chun blushed and chuckled awkwardly, "What a coincidence."

Xie Jianyuan remained silent, as did Wen Lin behind him; both of them stared at Xu Chun in complete silence.

Xu Chun's smile faltered. He rubbed his stiff cheeks and said in a tone that only served to cover up his misunderstanding, "Actually, I didn't hear anything."

Xie Jianyuan finally moved. He turned to Wen Lin and told him to leave. Wen Lin glanced at Xu Chun, his eyes filled with resentment and hostility, but in the end, he had no choice but to leave.

After Wen Lin left, only Xie Jianyuan and Xu Chun remained in the corridor.

"Did you hear that?" Xie Jianyuan slowly gave Xu Chun a cryptic smile.

Xu Chun, caught eavesdropping, avoided Xie Jianyuan's gaze, glancing nervously left and right. She nodded in acknowledgment, then cleared her throat with a fist, saying, "I promise I won't tell anyone."

He paused, then looked at Xie Jianyuan with a puzzled expression, as if he had remembered something.

"... But why did he say he wanted to do that for you? Could it be that you are...?"

His voice trembled slightly after considering this possibility, indicating that he was greatly shocked.

Xie Jianyuan squinted, carefully observing his expression. His heart sank slightly, but he said without changing his expression, "Oh, you mean that? I was just making that up."

Xu Chun: "??"

Xie Jianyuan smiled and said, "He had hinted at his sexual orientation before, and even said he was a top."

Xu Chun brought it up, "So what did you say?"

Xie Jianyuan: "I said, what a coincidence, I'm also a 1."

Xu Chun: "..."

Xie Jianyuan sighed, seemingly helplessly. "I vaguely sensed what he was thinking, so I answered that way to make him give up."

So, Xie Jianyuan's sexual orientation is normal, but unexpectedly, Wen Lin ultimately expressed his willingness to be the bottom for love.

Xu Chun couldn't help but sigh when she recalled his muscular, handsome appearance with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

Perhaps this is love.

"By the way, was what you said about having someone you like also a lie?" Xu Chun asked again, remembering this.

Xie Jianyuan's smile faltered slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and said casually, "There is someone."

Xu Chun was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized who it was. "Who is it?"

Xie Jianyuan smiled but didn't say anything.

Xu Chun couldn't help but ask, "Within the entertainment industry or outside of it?"

Xie Jianyuan said casually, "Within the industry."

Xu Chun clicked her tongue, "That's not very friendly. How come I had no idea?"

Xie Jianyuan stared intently at him, his expression a half-smile.

Xu Chun couldn't hide her curiosity. "What kind of person is she?"

After thinking for a moment, Xie Jianyuan carefully chose his tone and replied, "Hmm, somewhat like me."

Xu Chun frowned. There were a few girls in the industry with personalities similar to Xie Jianyuan... well... there seemed to be a few.

Mature woman

As for his character design, I haven't heard of him having any interaction with any of them.

But then he thought, after all, he wasn't with Xie Jianyuan 24/7, so naturally he couldn't possibly know all of Xie's social circles.

But for some reason, he still wanted to get to the bottom of it, "Who exactly is it?"

Xie Jianyuan smiled and said, "It's a secret."

Since he had already said that, although she was somewhat disappointed, Xu Chun wisely refrained from pressing the matter further and simply asked, "What did you want to talk to me about when you called?"

Xie Jianyuan said, "It's about something that happened on the show."

When business was brought up, Xu Chun's expression turned serious, and she said gently, "Let's talk as we walk." After saying that, she started walking away.

Xie Jianyuan walked alongside him naturally, while Xu Chun listened to him speak, occasionally interjecting a few words, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

The show's director ultimately decided not to cut out that off-the-cuff comment, but instead used it as a gimmick in the trailer, which indeed attracted a lot of attention.

The final episode's ratings soared, surpassing those of other variety shows airing at the same time, and discussions about that unexpected turn of events remained high.

"Wen Lin is so tough, I love him!"

"Wen Lin has a very good temper, and he did all that... emmmm, what does that mean?"

"I have a relative who was also a trainee on the show, but he was eliminated. He said that Xu Chun would eliminate anyone he didn't like, and the trainees were all angry with him but dared not speak out."

"His younger brother is disgusting too. Every time he's on stage, he puts on a stern face like his mother has died, and he talks like he owns the place. He even dissed his fellow contestants, yet he always ends up in a high position. I'm really speechless."

"Don't you even know who her brother is?"

"To those who support other artists... Xu Jin's wasn't a diss, was it? Wasn't that just the show's producers requiring them to shout at their opponents? Everyone was talking pretty arrogantly."

"You lowly servants of Wenzhou, kneel down and begone. You're already causing trouble before you've even officially debuted. May you all be boiled to dust and die a miserable death for the rest of your lives."

"Who dares to give the professor attitude? No manners whatsoever. Those sycophantic fans who try to defend us here will be executed tonight."

"I clicked on several Weibo by people who were subtly criticizing Xu Chun, and they were all fans of Xie Jianyuan. Ugh."

"Open your tiny eyes, you upstairs! Who told you that following Xie Jianyuan's Super Topic makes you a fan? Aren't there enough haters of Xie Jianyuan already?"
