When Pei Yubai helped Qiguan Yuan upload a profile picture, he didn't just randomly pick any picture and upload it.
He thought for a moment, then grabbed Qiguan Yuan's hand and intertwined their fingers.
Qiguan Yuan's fingers were cool to the touch, and when held in his palm, they appeared slightly smaller than his own hands.
Pei Yubai used his other hand to tug at the Dust-Settling Red Cord on Qiguan Yuan's wrist. The red thread drifted away from Qiguan Yuan's skin, and he pulled it over to wrap around his own wrist.
The Dust-Settling Red Cord, which had been resting against Qiguan Yuan's wrist, was now comfortably rubbing against its master's skin.
Suddenly it was tugged, and the entire line tightened, the end sticking up as if it were about to strangle.
Then it recognized Pei Yubai.
The one the owner likes the most.
Damn it, we can't kill him.
So it could only reluctantly wrap itself around Pei Yubai's wrist, obediently looping it twice before the end of the thread dangled down and rested on the back of Pei Yubai's hand.
Pei Yubai raised his phone and took a picture. His two hands were clasped together, their fingers interlocked, and their wrists were wrapped with the same red thread.
After taking the photo, he wrapped the Dust-Settling Red Cord around Qi Guanyuan's wrist again, and without Pei Yubai noticing, it circled around Qiguan Yuan's wrist in a rather aggrieved manner.
Only after Qiguan Yuan's fingers gently stroked it did it calm down.
Pei Yubai opened the photo on WeChat and sent it to himself before uploading it to his profile picture.
The photo was cropped into a circle, and the red line was very noticeable in the image.
He exited the editing page, Qiguan Yuan's Weibo homepage was generated.
The nickname is " Yuan Arrives Between Yu ", the profile picture is a pair of hands, and the number of followers is still 0.
Pei Yubai immediately clicked the search button, found his Weibo homepage, and followed him.
He switched to his own phone and logged into Weibo.
I clicked into my profile and glanced at my following list.
The list includes Meng Xu, the official Weibo account of Huateng Group, a bunch of brand official Weibo accounts, and several artists they have collaborated with.
The accounts were lined up neatly, and he unfollowed them one by one without even blinking.
My finger swiped across the screen so fast that the list was cleared in less than a minute.
He revisited Qiguan Yuan's profile and followed him.
The page displayed the words "Mutual Follow," which he stared at for two seconds before he was satisfied.
Then he went to his profile and changed his profile picture—which he hadn't changed since entering the entertainment industry—to the photo he had just taken.
After doing all this, Pei Yubai logged out of Weibo and sent a message to his agent Chen Xiaolei: "Qiguan Yuan's Weibo, please get verified. The name is Yuan Arrives Between Yu, the account I follow."
He put his phone down after sending the message.
Chen Xiaolei was getting ready to go to sleep when he received the message.
He leaned against the bed, the light from his phone screen shining on his face, somewhat dazzling, and Chen Xiaolei squinted.
When he saw what Pei Yubai had sent, he sat up straight in bed, the blanket slipping to the floor.
He stared at the words for a few seconds, a strong sense of unease rising within him.
He had a bad feeling.
I couldn't even sleep; I immediately checked Weibo.
Pei Yubai's name is already trending on social media.
The entry for "Changing Profile Picture" is followed by the word "Explosive".
Chen Xiaolei ignored the trending topics and went directly to Pei Yubai's profile.
Then he realized what Pei Yubai had done in vain.
The following list has become one, and the account being followed is called "Yuan Arrives Between Yu".
They even changed their profile picture to a pair of hands clasped together, with the same red thread wrapped around their wrists.
He stared at the image for a few seconds and recognized the hands.
One belongs to Pei Yubai, and the other to Qiguan Yuan.
His vision went black, but his hands moved faster than his brain, and he dialed Shen Lingyi's number.
I answered the phone after it rang twice.
Shen Lingyi's voice was slightly languid, as if she was about to rest. " Xiaolei? What's wrong? Is there a problem with Xiaobai?"
Chen Xiaolei's voice was filled with bitterness. "Madam, may I resign?"
Shen Lingyi paused for a moment, then sat up slightly. "What's wrong?"
Chen Xiaolei recounted what Pei Yubai had done that night: unfollowing everyone except Qiguan Yuan, changing his profile picture, and even getting Qiguan Yuan's Weibo verified.
He spoke quickly, his tone conveying a sense of: I've done my best, but I can't control this person's exhaustion.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
Shen Lingyi didn't ask him why he resigned, nor did she ask him why Pei Yubai did this; her focus was completely elsewhere.
" Yuanyuan has opened Weibo?"
Chen Xiaolei hesitated for a moment, then answered, "It's Teacher Qiguan's account..."
Shen Lingyi said, "Wait a moment," switched out of the call, opened Weibo, and followed Pei Yubai's Weibo homepage to find Qiguan Yuan's Weibo, then followed it.
Chen Xiaolei held his phone; the screen was still lit, and the call was still going on.
He sat on the bed, wondering what Shen Lingyi was going to do.
Less than a minute later, Shen Lingyi's voice rang out again. " Xiaolei, when will Yuanyuan's Weibo be verified?"
Chen Xiaolei opened his mouth, but swallowed the words that were about to come out.
Shen Lingyi's tone was very serious, and Chen Xiaolei couldn't complain about Pei Yubai anymore. He said with a bitter face, "I'll go get it now, it should be quick."
Shen Lingyi's voice was noticeably more relaxed, and her words were filled with joy. "Thank you for your trouble. I'll give you a raise."
Upon hearing about the pay raise, Chen Xiaolei's misery vanished, and he happily went to work overtime.
Chen Xiaolei hung up the phone, pulled out the information about Qiguan Yuan that Pei Yubai had sent, and began processing the verification process.
He turned on his computer, filled out forms, uploaded materials, and contacted the platform.
The movements were quick, with fingers clattering on the keyboard.
Chen Xiaolei is a top agent in the industry.
He has mentored one Best Actress and two Best Actor winners, a remarkable achievement in the industry. Every artist in the circle knows his name.
When Pei Yubai the film and television industry, the Pei Family invited him over, spent a lot of resources to help him with his studies, and then trained him to become Pei Yubai's exclusive agent.
Other artists in the entertainment industry were unaware of this and assumed that Chen Xiaolei might still be able to work with other artists; everyone wanted to become an artist under Chen Xiaolei's management.
Previously, because he had enough good resources, he had already become the kind of manager most artists wanted.
The reason he's getting this treatment is because Huateng Group has given him the green light. The entire network of connections that the Pei Family has built behind him is enough to make everyone in the industry fight tooth and nail for him.
Not to mention, this is just Huateng Group; the Pei Family is the one that truly gives Chen Xiaolei the green light to access his resources.
They hold countless resources that are fiercely contested within their circles.
It's fair to say that anyone working under him, even a dog, could become famous.
Chen Xiaolei's words about resigning were merely a test of Shen Lingyi's attitude towards Qiguan Yuan.
Qiguan Yuan is not in the entertainment industry, has no background or resources, and the fact that she is with Pei Yubai is enough to cause gossip.
He needed to figure out the Pei Family's attitude towards this person in order to know how to treat Qiguan Yuan in the future.
Shen Lingyi urged him to verify his Weibo and offered to give him a raise; her attitude was quite clear.
Chen Xiaolei knew what to do as soon as he hung up the phone.
It should be enshrined as a Bodhisattva.
Evenings are when netizens are surfing the internet.
There was no live stream for " Travel to That Unknown Place " today, and fans were so bored that they kept refreshing the super topic.
The moment Pei Yubai changed his profile picture, his Imperial Fans noticed.
They clicked into Pei Yubai's profile and saw that his profile picture, which hadn't changed in centuries, had been replaced with a photo of two hands clasped together.
Some people zoomed in to take a closer look, and anyone who had watched the live stream recently immediately recognized the two hands.
One belongs to Pei Yubai, and the other to Qiguan Yuan.
The trending topic of Pei Yubai changing his profile picture jumped from the bottom to the top in the blink of an eye, followed by the word "hot".
Fans clicked in and saw Pei Yubai's homepage; his following list had shrunk from dozens to just one.
I deleted everyone else's contact information and only followed an account called "Yuan Arrives Between Yu".
The account's profile picture was of two hands, the same as Pei Yubai's new profile picture, with two hands clasped together and a red thread wrapped around their wrists.
She hasn't posted any Weibo, has one follower, and follows one account.
It's obviously a Xiaobai account.
Imperial Fans are having a crazy discussion about it in the supertopic.
The topic of discussion was who that Xiaobai account actually belonged to.
The Imperial Fans generally believe it was Qiguan Yuan.
The reason is simple: Pei Yubai is clearly showing off their affection.
So who else could he be showing off his love to? It's definitely Qiguan Yuan.
The Xiao Yuan Grains ones vehemently denied it.
Their grandfather's Yuanyuan couldn't even figure out how to use a mobile phone, so how could they possibly have Weibo?
They said that account definitely didn't Yuanyuan; it was a secondary account that Pei Yubai created himself to show off his relationship. He must have felt that his main account wasn't enough for him to show off, so he created another secondary account.
It wasn't until Huateng Group's official Weibo account posted a message with a screenshot of Pei Yubai's profile picture, highlighting that he was already following them, and the caption read, "It's okay, I'll bear it alone."
A long line of replies followed, with official Weibo accounts from major luxury brands all posting the same message: [Screenshot] It's okay, I'll handle it alone.
So the top three on Weibo became like this:
#Whose username is Yuan Arrives Between Yu?#
#It's okay, I'll bear it alone#
#Pei Yubai changed his profile picture#
Fans are divided on who the account "Yuan Arrives Between Yu" actually belongs to.
One group believes that "Yuan Arrives Between Yu" is Qiguan Yuan's account, while the other group believes that it is Pei Yubai account.
The two sides argued for nearly five minutes under the trending topic.
Five minutes later, a gold verification mark appeared next to the " Yuan Arrives Between Yu " account.
The certification description reads: Special guest of Qiguan Yuan's " Travel to Those Little-Known Places ".
Xiao Yuan Grains poured in from all corners, frantically clicking "follow".
After being a wild monkey for so long, it finally has a nest.
They were all as excited as if it were Chinese New Year.
The number of followers for the account "Yuan Arrives Between Yu" has also increased dramatically.
After dealing with the Weibo issue Pei Yubai went to take a shower.
The bathroom door closed, and the sound of water could be heard coming from inside.
Qiguan Yuan leaned against the bed, picked up a book that Pei Yubai had specially found for him, and turned to the page he had seen yesterday.
He observed carefully.
Suddenly, the phone on the bed started vibrating wildly, and the screen lit up.
Qiguan Yuan was reading an exciting passage in the book when his phone suddenly vibrated wildly, startling him.
His ears peeked out from his hair, standing upright on top of his head, and tilted to the sides as if judging the direction of danger.
He realized it was his phone ringing, the constant buzzing of messages was unbearable.
Qiguan Yuan put down the book and picked up his phone.
Notifications kept popping up on the screen, one after another, so fast that the content was impossible to read.
He stared at the wildly vibrating phone for two seconds, put the book on the bedside table, and got out of bed.
He walked to the bathroom door, raised his hand, and knocked. " Pei Yubai."
The sound of water stopped.
After a while, the door opened a crack, and Pei Yubai, with a bath towel wrapped around his waist and his hair still dripping wet, water droplets running down his hair and onto his shoulders.
He glanced at Qiguan Yuan, Qiguan Yuan held up his phone, which was still vibrating wildly.
"This brick is broken, it's noisy." Qiguan Yuan's tone was somewhat irritated, and he glanced down at the tip of his ear.
My sensitive ears were really tormented by this thing.
Pei Yubai reached out to take the phone with one hand, and covered Qiguan Yuan's ear with the other.
Qiguan Yuan's ears were soft and furry, pressed against his palm.
Qiguan Yuan's ear twitched in his hand.
Pei Yubai took the phone from Qiguan Yuan, tapped a few times, and put it on silent.
He then went into settings, found the Weibo notification option, and turned off all message notifications.
He handed the phone back to Qiguan Yuan: "Stop arguing." Qiguan Yuan took the phone, glanced at the screen, and saw no new notifications popping up.
Pei Yubai's hand was still covering Qiguan Yuan's ear.
Qiguan Yuan's ear twitched again in his palm.
Pei Yubai slid his hand down from Qiguan Yuan's ear, preparing to return to the bathroom. Just as he was about to turn around and took a step, he felt a wet, slippery touch on his chest.
Qiguan Yuan posted it.
His face was buried in Pei Yubai's chest, his lips pressed against his skin, and he opened his mouth and bit down.
It wasn't serious; my teeth just sank in a little, and I licked it with the tip of my tongue.
Pei Yubai froze.
Qiguan Yuan's ear brushed against his chin, its furry tip tracing a line along his jawline.
Pei Yubai had almost finished taking a bath when he suddenly heard Qiguan Yuan calling him as he was getting dressed.
Thinking something had happened, he could only casually wrap a bath towel around his waist before opening the bathroom door.
Seeing Qiguan Yuan's ears twitching uncontrollably from discomfort, he didn't have time to think. He could only reach out and cover Qiguan Yuan's ears before turning off his phone.
Completely unaware that while he was fiddling with his phone, Qiguan Yuan's ear was being pressed down by Pei Yubai, so his head was also being pressed down by Pei Yubai.
Pei Yubai's well-developed pectoral muscles were blatantly displayed before Qiguan Yuan's eyes.
Qiguan Yuan narrowed his eyes, and his ears mischievously twitched in Pei Yubai's palm.
Before Pei Yubai could react, he took a bite.
Pei Yubai had just taken a shower; his skin was still damp, his chest muscles were somewhat firm but also a little bouncy, and he carried the usual fragrance that Pei Yubai always had.
Qiguan Yuan stuck out his tongue and licked it.
