Really Not Good-Looking?

After Su Tingbai followed the Baisui Chang'an account with both of his accounts, the other netizens who came after hearing the news immediately got it. This account really was Shen An'an.

With those previous suspicious accounts that had ridden the hype to scam people into buying products as comparison, Shen Rui'an had not taken the opportunity to ride the hype himself, so everyone's impression of this account soared. Once it was confirmed that he really was the person behind it, his followers immediately increased by tens of thousands. In less than two days, Shen Rui'an's Baisui Chang'an account had gone from five or six followers to three hundred thousand.

Each of the few videos on his alt account had tens of thousands of likes. The ones showing his hands and Baisui in particular had several tens of thousands of likes, and the comments were full of thirsty remarks.

However, netizens noticed that Shen Rui'an had forgotten to turn off the display of his [Likes], so when netizens and his newly gained fans clicked in, they saw plenty of food-streaming content and... faceless men with abs.

The gossip-loving netizens immediately had a field day. Eager to make things even more entertaining, they flooded the latest videos of both Shen Rui'an and Su Tingbai with comments.

Shen Rui'an's comments looked like this:

[Baby, let me recommend a great @male-bodhisattva blogger to you. This guy's body is seriously hot, drool jpg.]

[This one's pretty good too. Wifey, take a look!]

[Baby, what do you think of me? I have eight-pack abs! [Attached a faceless abs photo.]]

[Wifey, look at me! [A face-and-abs photo.]]

Su Tingbai's looked like this:

[Su Tingbai, your An'an liked so many guys with abs. Gotta say, his taste is pretty good. Every one of them has an eight-pack, and their bodies are all top-notch @Tingbai the Cabbage @Bai]

[Why don't you consider showing off your muscles too? I think you're in pretty good shape yourself.]

[I can tell exactly what the person above is planning. Su Tingbai, if you don't show a little muscle soon, your wife is going to run off with someone else!]

[Wifey An'an has taste similar to mine. All the ones he liked are my beloved consorts.]

[I'm going to drown in Shen An'an's comment section. It's my first time seeing so many handsome men with abs. Sisters, charge!]

The male-bodhisattva bloggers Shen Rui'an had liked gained several waves of traffic without even realizing it. After learning why, some of the bolder ones went straight to Shen Rui'an's comment section to strut their stuff. Especially after seeing Shen Rui'an's screenshot, some of those peacocks spread their tails even wider.

After a full day of work, Su Tingbai returned to his room and was about to go to sleep. Out of habit, he pulled out his phone. He could not even be bothered to deal with all the red notification dots in the background. He opened Shen Rui'an's personal account to admire his posts, but the instant he opened the comments, he shot upright in bed. The light from his phone screen shone over his twisted expression as coldness radiated from him, his teeth grinding hard enough to crack.

What a shameless bunch!

He opened the self-recommended abs photos one after another, judging each one in his head.

These abs were not as good-looking as his. Bad review!

This guy did not even groom his armpits. Shen Xiaoyao would never like a hairy monkey! Bad review!

This one smiled like some crooked-mouthed Dragon King. He was so ugly, yet he still came out to make a fool of himself. Bad review!

This guy looked so flirtatious, and he had the nerve to come strut his stuff? Shen Xiaoyao did not like pretty boys at all! Bad review!

Su Tingbai critiqued them all the way through with a blank expression, but inwardly, he relaxed. None of them could compare to him!

He could not sleep anymore. He went into the bathroom, pulled open his pajamas to reveal his half-hidden abs, and deliberately smoothed down the hair that had become tousled in his sleep. Schemingly, he made sure not to neaten it too much. Then he took a photo in the mirror. His pajamas were a black silk robe that showed off his tall, powerful frame, overflowing with boyfriend material.

With utterly casual nonchalance, Su Tingbai sent it to the account he had saved as [An'an].

He knew that Shen Xiaoyao was definitely scrolling through videos at this hour.

He silently counted to ten, then immediately recalled it.

Shen Rui'an, sitting on his bed and playing with his phone, saw the photo Su Tingbai had suddenly sent. Unable to resist, he clicked to enlarge it and looked at the abs. Then a question mark appeared over his head. What did Su Tingbai mean by this? Did he know Shen Rui'an had no abs and deliberately send it to show off?

Before he could type out a questioning message, the other side suddenly recalled the photo.

Shen Rui'an deleted the words he had typed one by one, then finally sent: [?]

The other side quickly apologized: [Sent it to the wrong person.]

Shen Rui'an: ???

Was there something wrong with Su Tingbai?

Sending someone an abs photo in the middle of the night—could it be that he had someone he liked? Who was it? And he had sent it to Shen Rui'an by mistake?

Shen Rui'an could not understand. Curiosity kept him tossing and turning, unable to sleep. In the end, he resentfully sent Su Tingbai a message: [Who were you trying to send it to? It wasn't good-looking at all. I suggest you don't send it!]

Damn it, it would have been better if Su Tingbai had deliberately sent it to show off to him!

Shen Rui'an pouted. He did not know why, but after seeing Su Tingbai's "sent it to the wrong person," his nose felt a little sore and his heart felt uncomfortable too.

Shen Rui'an sat up in bed and touched his chest, wondering if his illness was acting up again.

On the other side, Su Tingbai received Shen Rui'an's reply and completely froze.

N-not good-looking?

Su Tingbai leaned closer to inspect his face in the mirror. He had shaved; there was neither stubble nor a beard, and nothing else on his face affected his looks.

He looked down at his body, then at himself in the photo. There really was an eight-pack visible. Compared with some of the male bodhisattvas Shen Rui'an had liked, he was not inferior at all. So what exactly was not good-looking about it?!

Su Tingbai suddenly felt defeated. As if possessed, he posted the photo to his alt account with the caption: Really not good-looking?

The fans of Aibo Perks who suddenly came across it at three in the morning: ?

[Did you sell the account?]

[Is this really you?]

[Who performed beyond expectations and hurt big brother's heart again? This isn't good-looking? This is extremely good-looking!]

[I'm dying, what kind of fit is Su Tingbai throwing? But this kind of fit is great. It's rare to get an abs photo, drool drool!]

[Reasonable guess: did Su Tingbai send this photo to his crush, get told it wasn't good-looking, and post it in anger to ask netizens to judge?]

[You got it right.]

[Insecurity is a man's finest dowry.]

As Shen Rui'an kept scrolling, he noticed a little red dot under [Friends]. He thought Ya-ya and the others had sent some food content, but when he clicked in, he happened to see Su Tingbai's photo. The moment he saw the caption, Shen Rui'an felt a tiny bit guilty, then suddenly became righteous again and, for once, left a comment.

[It's just not good-looking!]

Shen Rui'an's comment stood out far too much among all the screen-licking praise. Before long, plenty of people had liked it, but he had turned off like notifications and did not know.

Su Tingbai saw it and replied: [Then I'll delete it.]

He did exactly what he said and really deleted it.

Fortunately, some quick-handed netizens had taken screenshots.

After deleting the post, Su Tingbai opened his chat with Shen Rui'an from the backend and asked pitifully: [Is it really not good-looking?]

Shen Rui'an did not know how to reply. It was good-looking, but he was just unhappy!

An'an: [So-so.]

Su Tingbai: [Oh, then that means it's pretty good!]

Su Tingbai secretly rejoiced. He had known all along that Shen Xiaoyao said one thing and meant another!

Having his thoughts exposed, Shen Rui'an saw Su Tingbai's reply and swore he would never speak to him again. He angrily turned off his phone, pulled up the blanket, and shut his eyes to sleep.

Su Tingbai waited a long time without receiving a reply. Unable to hold himself back, he quietly got out of bed and went to check Shen Rui'an's room. A little lump had formed beneath the covers. He leaned closer to look and saw that Shen Rui'an's breathing was steady. He had actually fallen asleep.

Su Tingbai could not resist lightly touching his lips. Feeling their softness against his fingertips, he huffed inwardly. Stingy little cat.

He checked the air conditioner temperature, then quietly backed out and left the door slightly ajar.
