#Wen Yanyu#

#My poor little bunny baby#

#Damn production team, pay with your lives#

1L:

Waaah, help, I'm going to cry myself to death. My Bunny Baby, waaah, why has my Bunny Baby suffered so much? Somebody save me. I know it's wrong to watch someone else's painful experiences, but waaah, I really couldn't help it. I cried for so long watching this.

My mom saw me crying and came over to watch with me. Then we listened to our baby sing together, and we both cried so hard we nearly passed out. My mom even asked me who this kid was. Waaah, my hands are still shaking as I type this. My heart hurts so much, waaah.

13L:

Can someone tell me what Duan Radish meant when he said he was all alone? How is Wen Yanyu alone?

23L:

He meant Wen Yanyu is an orphan. (Not using that as an insult.)

45L:

I really, really am going to cry myself to death. I couldn't breathe watching it. During the part where our baby was struggling, I heard him cry and started crying too. It was so powerful. Can someone tell me what actually happened? I didn't finish today's livestream, and that was what I saw as soon as I came online.

69L:

PTSD, maybe. People in the live comments said the scar on Wen Yanyu's arm was SH, but in my experience, it doesn't look like it. SH generally wouldn't be that severe, and those stitch marks look a lot like he stitched it himself. At least, a doctor at a top-tier hospital wouldn't stitch like that. That scar, my god, it's all crooked. I can't even imagine how much the treatment must have hurt. And that unusual behavior today only started after the doctor's needle touched his hand.

Um... this isn't a nice theory, but it makes more sense to me. I feel like he might have been abused. Not ordinary hitting and verbal abuse, but the kind that could become a criminal case. His reaction really was very PTSD-like, very textbook panic.

83L:

Isn't that a bit much? Maybe he's just afraid of needles?

103L:

Who gets so afraid of needles they hold a knife to their own throat? I think if Lu Mingxu hadn't stopped him in time, Wen Yanyu probably would have killed himself.

110L:

I suddenly noticed a detail. Wen Yanyu always sleeps curled into a ball, and he curls up consciously or unconsciously at other times too. That's the position a baby takes in its mother's womb, but it's generally very uncomfortable for adults, so most people don't sleep like that unless they have a severe lack of security.

113L:

Yes, I noticed that too. Wen Yanyu really likes huddling in corners. Even in bed, he keeps burrowing into the corner. When he sits on the floor playing, he often ends up curled into a ball.

Lots of people in the live comments teased him for being like a little bunny then. Why does it feel like some kind of dark joke now, looking at it all together? And he really is pretty good at enduring pain.

117L:

And that medicine Aunt Jiang mentioned, the strong painkillers. Aunt Jiang's son is a doctor, so she could probably recognize it. I remember Aunt Jiang freezing when she saw that medicine before, and then the way she looked at Wen Yanyu suddenly became especially loving and pained.

Today, they probably all didn't know those dumbasses on the production team still had the camera running, which was why Aunt Jiang said what the medicine was.

122L:

I originally watched for my baby Ke Yan, but the more I watched, the more I liked Bunny Baby, waaah. He's such a gentle baby, does anyone understand? Back when he let that little girl who couldn't see touch his face, I just burst into tears.

Watching their daily lives afterward was so heartwarming. Bunny Baby really remembered what everyone liked to eat, and what the little ones liked to eat too. Such a sweet, domestic baby.

Also, I feel like Ke Yan probably likes Bunny Baby. Her eyes sparkle when she looks at him. Mommy approves of this marriage.

129L:

And Duan Radish. I've been his fan for seven years. No joke, seriously, Duan Radish has definitely caught feelings. The change in his attitude is so obvious. But!

I don't approve of this marriage. Radish used to play around too much. I'm so scared he'll break our baby's heart someday. Waaah, sorry, even though I'm your fan, waaah, this isn't the job for you.

130L:

Honestly, if someone like Wen Yanyu were around me, I feel like I'd fall for him too. Even leaving looks aside, I really like his personality. He carefully remembers your preferences, and if you're a little nice to him, he really gives you so much in return. He has an amazing temper, he's very gentle but not weak, and when it matters, he can protect you behind him. (That time at the mall, this time with Ke Yan, and this time on the mountain.) Such a dependable Bunny Baby.

So, heavens above! Please let me win a hundred million! I want to marry Bunny Baby and take good care of him at home!

136L:

This damned production team really has done every rotten thing imaginable. Fuck! Watching this had me swearing nonstop! Fuck! That goddamn dumbass production team! Fuck! Never mind not having a doctor ready, they were told not to film, not to film! And they secretly filmed for views! Fuck!

147L:

What did Aunt Jiang see? I saw her getting ready to change Bunny Baby's clothes, but she covered him back up as soon as she lifted them. Aunt Jiang hadn't been crying before that, but she burst into tears the moment she saw.

Then she asked Bunny Baby if someone had been hurting him. I feel like maybe there were injuries, waaah. Help, what on earth happened? I really feel like I'm going to shatter. My Bunny Baby, waaah, my sweet, wonderful Bunny Baby, waaah.

167L:

I still haven't recovered since watching it. Even though I really love gossip and I'm curious too, the production team went way too far. How could they make a spectacle out of someone's scars? I'm so angry I could cry.

The three topics shot straight up the trending searches.

The production team's popularity soared, while they were also getting absolutely torn apart.

[Goddamn, I'm just a passerby who caught up on the drama. I don't particularly like Wen Yanyu, but you dumbass production team, is targeting him every single day fun? Fine, you're getting paid to do a job and you want buzz. Never mind the previous times, but what was this? Enjoy profiting off someone's suffering?]

[Former mom fan here, and I'm so furious I'm back in the fandom. My baby, aaaah, fuck! We bunny fans only went quiet! We're not dead! How dare you bully the baby we voted for, one vote at a time, back then!]

[I was holding up okay until Wen Yanyu sang. Help, I felt like a chopping board. I cried so hard I couldn't breathe, then ran into my mom's arms and sobbed my eyes out. My mom thought there was something wrong with me, but when I remembered Wen Yanyu couldn't even hug his mom anymore, I cried even louder.]

[I believe what he said outside the hospital before. He really probably wasn't doing it for Fu Hanchuan. His mental state does look genuinely worrying.]

[Honestly, I had nothing against Wen Yanyu. I always liked him pretty well, until he suddenly started pestering that Fu guy like he'd been possessed. That was when I started disliking him. If he can be okay, he's actually quite likable.]

[Bunny fans thank Lu Mingxu. That knife nearly made me faint.]

[Uh, uh, uh, you're feeling sorry for him already? Did you forget how he clung to Fu Hanchuan and wouldn't let go? Such a turnoff. I can't like him at all.]

[Okay, give it a rest. The guy from the Fu family hasn't even said anything. For all you know, his heart's aching right now, and here you are getting turned off on his behalf.]

[LOL, speaking of that, if Fu really held it against him, Wen couldn't possibly still be running around now. My former boss wanted to get on Fu's good side and was planning to go after Wen, but Fu personally stepped in and shut my former boss down. I don't know exactly what their relationship is. Anyway, don't speak for the people involved.]

[I just feel like our baby's health is so bad. When the three little ones were looking through his medicine, there was a huge pile of half-finished medication. Someone dependable, hurry up and marry our baby and take care of him at home. Ke Yan! I believe in you! Bring Bunny Baby home soon!]

[How has public opinion shifted this much? I'm happy, but waaah, then what did all the abuse I took as Bunny Baby's diehard fan count for?]

[It counts as proof you can take abuse.]

[It counts as proof you're amazing.]

Messages kept pinging in the little four-person group chat.

Shen Huainan: @Fu Hanchuan @Fu Hanchuan @Fu Hanchuan, seen the trending searches? Your-pfft, that friend of yours. Something happened to him.

Gu Fengyao: He did save your life, after all. Since you're not planning to cut ties with him, stop giving him the cold shoulder every day. Want to go see him? @Fu Hanchuan

The group went quiet for a while.

Fu Hanchuan: What does that have to do with me? I don't care.

Shen Huainan: ...(〟-_・)ン?

Gu Fengyao: Don't go losing your mind afterward.

The group went quiet for another while.

Wan Haihui: There's a pretty good song. Everyone, come listen.

Shen Huainan: Hm?

Wan Haihui: "Be Willing" by Wang Weini.

Shen Huainan: Nice song. (Clapping kitty) Let's sing this next time we go out! Get Fu to sing it!

Inside the private room, Gu Fengyao put down his phone and exchanged a glance with Shen Huainan, who sat diagonally across from him. Both saw helplessness in the other's eyes.

Gu Fengyao sighed and took a sip of his drink. "Tell me, if Fu really isn't interested in Wen, why does he keep stringing him along? One moment he says he won't get involved, and the next he's calling him."

"If he really isn't interested, I quite like that little guy."

Shen Huainan shrugged and complained helplessly, "It's not like you don't know how much Fu hates that uncle of his."

Gu Fengyao frowned. "What does his uncle have to do with it?"

Shen Huainan tossed a grape into his mouth. "Wasn't it because his uncle loved his dad and couldn't have him that he did all that? How could Fu allow himself to be anything like that uncle?"

Gu Fengyao looked astonished.

Shen Huainan raised an eyebrow. "You didn't know?"

Gu Fengyao scratched his head. "No. Never heard about it."

He did know that Fu Hanchuan had gone abroad for refuge in his early years because his uncle had coveted the family fortune and arranged an accident that killed both Fu Hanchuan's parents in a fire.

That adopted son, who had gained the others' support through shared interests, had all but tried to wipe Fu Hanchuan out.

The families that had been friends with his parents-their three families-had discussed it and sent the young Fu Hanchuan of the Fu family abroad together to take refuge.

They had thought that would be that. Yet in just over ten years, Fu Hanchuan had used the ten million he took abroad to build a new business group overseas, then stormed back with a group of people.

He remembered that Fu Hanchuan had broken that uncle's legs, and the man had crawled out of the Fu family's old residence bit by bit. Later, unable to bear life in a psychiatric hospital, he had killed himself.

Those who had originally sided with the uncle had either gone abroad or disappeared. After that, Fu Hanchuan's word became law in the Fu family.

The families like theirs that had helped him also got a share of the profits. But as for the other inside details, seeing that Fu Hanchuan didn't want to mention them, he hadn't taken the initiative to ask.

Although he had picked up bits and pieces of information, his family was deeply secretive about it, and nobody mentioned such things openly.

He wasn't someone who liked gossip, nor did he like prying into other people's privacy and pain, so even now he didn't know the details of what had happened back then.

Shen Huainan poured a drink and beckoned to him. "I'll walk you through it from the beginning."

Gu Fengyao's eyes widened. "That melodramatic?"

"So that uncle of his was in love with his own older brother? And because he couldn't have him, he killed his whole family?"

Shen Huainan cracked a sunflower seed and nodded.

A trace of helplessness rose in Gu Fengyao's eyes. "No wonder Fu always acts so homophobic."

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

"That little guy's in for some suffering, falling for Fu."

Gu Fengyao sighed. "It's not like Fu has no feelings for Wen Yanyu, either. He dropped a project worth ten billion just like that. That was the first time I'd heard him cry like that, begging everyone for help. It's been so many years. Surely it doesn't have to be like this."

He still remembered how, after word came out that Wen Yanyu had attempted suicide, Fu Hanchuan, who was abroad negotiating a deal, had called all of them like a madman.

They had gathered practically every top doctor in the country they could mobilize, flown in foreign specialists on private planes, and brought them all over to save Wen Yanyu.

Those two days of emergency treatment had truly been a battle with the King of Hell for his life.

Hearing that, Shen Huainan smiled indifferently.

"Let him carry on. Isn't there a saying? How does it go again?"

Shen Huainan kept drinking as he frowned in thought for a moment, then said offhandedly, "He'll settle down once his wife's dead."

"Wen looks like he doesn't have many years left anyway. Once he's really gone, he'll know what matters."

Remembering the things Fu Hanchuan had done when he lost his mind back then, Gu Fengyao shuddered and frowned. "Don't talk nonsense."

Shen Huainan looked up at him, his lips curving into a mischievous grin. "Hehe, I'm just joking. Why take it seriously?"
