Half an hour after Lu Pei and Xi Mo made their official announcement, Fang Yu, who couldn't resist going online, saw the news.
Fang Yu excitedly pulled the young master along to eat melon seeds. "I knew something was wrong with the young lady a long time ago, tsk tsk tsk!"
Yu Zhao stared at the video clip of the newlyweds openly announcing their marriage, his expression slightly stunned.
"The eldest daughter of the Xi Family has a good personality; she's straightforward and decisive, someone who dares to love and hate." Yu Zhao slowly withdrew her gaze and murmured, "Fiancé..."
During this time, Yu Zhao witnessed too many passionate love stories. In addition to the Lasting that drove the entire internet crazy, there was also the story of Lin Changfeng and the young master of the Shen Family, which had no script and no acting involved.
Even the Shen Family family brother and the silver-haired beauty, who only appeared in one episode before, did not shy away from each other and even kissed passionately on camera.
It seems that he is the only one who is so cautious about relationships; in the words of netizens, he is sensitive and easily hurt.
Ultimately, it failed.
Yu Zhao sighed silently, hugged her knees, and buried her face in them.
What's wrong with my fiancé?
Seeing that the young master had stopped talking after finishing speaking, Fang Yu was getting anxious. He thought the young master had some gossip about wealthy families that he didn't know about, so he poked the young master's waist.
Is something wrong?
Yu Zhao gasped softly involuntarily and reflexively dodged away. When she looked up again, her eyes were red.
"What you do?!"
Fang Yu tilted her head in confusion.
The finger was still hanging in mid-air, unable to retract in time.
Fang Yu said awkwardly, "You... how come you're so fragile?"
Yu Zhao was both ashamed and angry!
"Just talk, why are you getting physical?"
Fang Yu quickly apologized, "I'm sorry~"
Yu Zhao: "..."
[Oh my, how come the young master is so fragile? [wink][wink][wink]]
[To be honest, Yu Zhao looks really soft, especially when she cries, and even softer when her eyes are red.]
[I think I know who's up and who's down [hiss]]
[ Lazy Fish, make the young master cry [his smile gradually becomes twisted]]
However, Fang Yu's interruption inexplicably dispelled the worries that had been building up in Yu Zhao's heart.
He stepped aside to hide, saying angrily, "Don't let this happen again."
Fang Yu put down her phone and happily pushed the fruit plate on the coffee table in front of him. "It's good that you're not angry, have some watermelon."
Yu Zhao hesitated for a moment, then, feeling embarrassed to refuse, reached out and took a piece of cantaloupe.
At home, all the fruits and vegetables are washed and cut into pieces, but Fang Yu doesn't have that habit. He cuts them into four pieces, and when he picks them up, they're as big as half his face.
Yu Zhao: "..."
Fang Yu's eyes sparkled. "Eat up, eat quickly!"
"This is the first time I've ever cut it for a guest!"
Yu Zhao hesitated for a moment, then had no choice but to slowly nibble on the melon.
Fang Yu: "How was it? How was it?"
With a soft crunch, Yu Zhao bit into a cantaloupe seed. He swallowed it expressionlessly. "... It's alright."
Fang Yu smiled. "See? The young master is still easy to please."
Fang Yu has a delicate and fair appearance, and his short brown hair makes him look particularly soft. He is usually lazy and unreliable, but he is very energetic when he smiles.
Yu Zhao's eyes flickered slightly; she thought this person was quite handsome.
Yu Zhao's attraction to someone came later than that of the other contestants in the variety show.
There was no result even after the variety show ended.
After the final episode ended, Fang Yu took the young master out alone, and the two strolled around in the grove.
Yu Zhao couldn't understand it at all. "Why do you like me?"
Fang Yu kicked a pebble at her feet and asked, "Why do you like Lin Changfeng?"
Yu Zhao choked.
Why do I like Lin Changfeng...?
He had also forgotten some of it.
He first met Lin Changfeng at a banquet, where he was being bullied by a spoiled brat from another family, and Lin Changfeng stepped in to help him out.
He walked up to the group, gently placed his wine glass on the table, narrowed his fox-like eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses, and said with a smile, "What are you talking about? It sounds so lively!"
Someone immediately asked with a laugh, "Isn't this the young master of the Lin Family? What? You also want to be friends with young master Yu?"
That sound was chilling to hear.
Yu Zhao frowned and subtly moved a little closer to Lin Changfeng.
The man leaned closer and whispered in his ear, "Young Master Yu, are you interested in making a deal?"
Yu Zhao looked up. Under the dazzling lights, the man's handsome face wore a polite smile, and the dangling gold chain shimmered slightly.
He suddenly understood what the young master of the Lin Family was referring to as a deal.
Yu Zhao was the youngest son in the Yu Family. His two older brothers disliked his weak temperament and didn't like him. His parents also didn't have the energy to take care of him.
Yu Zhao became an easy target in the eyes of spoiled young men and was frequently harassed.
If I were with this person...
Standing up, Yu Zhao and nodded in agreement, "Okay."
Yu Zhao snapped out of her thoughts and said to Fang Yu, "It's hard not to like someone like Lin Changfeng, isn't it?"
But he already has Shen Huaian.
Fang Yu also said, "It's hard for me not to like someone like you."
"..."
Judging from the way Young Master Yu looked, he was probably thinking to himself that there was something wrong with his eyes. Fang Yu failed to suppress her laughter and casually flicked his nose.
"I just think you're wonderful. You smell so good and are so soft; it feels so comfortable to hug you."
Yu Zhao looked up in astonishment.
"She's also particularly good at crying; she looks beautiful when she cries."
Yu Zhao's pupils dilated.
Fang Yu said something shocking, "People like you are the easiest to arouse people's protective instincts, and of course, they also want to be bullied."
Yu Zhao: "... You, you know that's vulgar talk?"
Can't you be serious for once?!
"But isn't that what liking someone is all about? Isn't love at first sight just lust at first sight?"
Fang Yu quoted extensively from classical texts, "Look at Lasting, Chang'an, the Double Jade Husbands, and the Shen Family brother and his wife, which one is ugly?"
"..."
"And then there's Xi Mo and Film Emperor Lu... Okay, although this aesthetic is a bit off, Film Emperor Lu may not be flamboyant, but he's still quite handsome, right?"
"..."
Fang Yu subtly added, "You like Lin Changfeng, but dare you say you weren't attracted to his looks?"
"I..." Yu Zhao's eyes were dazed.
For some reason, every word Fang Yu said was irrefutable.
"Looks alone aren't enough, of course; without feelings, things can easily go wrong. But we've known each other for so long, and my feelings for you only grow stronger."
Fang Yu stopped, her expression troubled yet earnest, "I don't know why either—"
"I want more and more."
Yu Zhao was speechless.
Fang Yu said, "You are the first little guest to come to my house. I'm willing to wash fruit for you, buy you snacks, and make more little things to please you."
"--I can do a lot more."
Fang Yu stared at him with her dark eyes and muttered, "I'm really lazy. I don't want to wash fruit or cook. I used to think that just surviving was enough, but now, I want to be with you."
After saying it all in one breath, Fang Yu couldn't help but laugh at herself, "I don't know why I like you so much."
Yu Zhao's chest went numb from the burn, and his eyes inexplicably welled up with tears. He instinctively clenched the hem of his clothes, unable to meet his gaze.
No one has ever said they like him so openly.
No one had ever looked at him so intently, for such a long, long time.
But, "I can't respond to you right now."
Yu Zhao was in a state of confusion. "I don't know."
"It's okay, I know you won't forget him so quickly."
Fang Yu chuckled, noticing the young master's softening tone, and immediately took out his phone from his pocket.
Just leave me your contact information, I'll come find you if I miss you.
After saying that, she even drawled out the last syllable in a coquettish tone, "Can I have your contact information?"
Yu Zhao blankly opened her phone, "... Oh."
She lowered her head, but tears streamed down her face.
He was startled and quickly wiped his eyes.
She cried again.
Fang Yu quickly pulled out a pack of tissues to wipe the young master's tears, shamelessly touching his face several times in the process. "Cry slowly, it's okay, no rush."
After saying that, he added sincerely, "Oh, your tears break my heart."
Yu Zhao: "..."
Yu Zhao was furious. She pushed his hand away and walked back alone.
Fang Yu quickly followed.
"So you're agreeing? Right? That counts... but don't block me, okay?"
I don't have many commitments, so I can come visit you whenever I'm free.
"Hmm... how about giving it a try? Let's see if you can accept me. If you ever find me annoying, then we can talk about it."
Fang Yu rambled on and on, "I think I'm alright. I'm so handsome and smart, it's just that my acting is terrible. My fans criticize me every day."
"But don't worry, they absolutely, positively won't scold you. You are the young master."
Young Master Yu wanted to say that you're quite annoying right now, and he couldn't avoid you or shake you off, so he stopped in his tracks.
Fang Yu couldn't stop in time and crashed head-on into them, startling both of them.
"Holy crap?!"
Fang Yu instinctively hugged Yu Zhao's waist, then fell to the ground with a thud, completely stunned.
At that moment, the director came looking for someone. Upon seeing this, he quickly called the cameraman to zoom in with the camera, and the fans who had just left the live stream all rushed in.
In the scene, Fang Yu is pinned to the ground by Yu Zhao. Both of them have slightly wavy, brownish-red hair, fair skin, and rosy complexions, looking incredibly alluring.
The live chat instantly erupted into screaming chickens.
[OMG, can I even see this?]
[Suddenly I've got this couple figured out, damn, I'm totally into them! [winking emoji]]
[As expected of the director of a romance variety show, he's amazing!]
[By the way, what's the situation with this pair? Did it work out too?]
[That would be amazing! This dating show could be a stunt for a lifetime, and it could easily run for ten or eight seasons!]
Yu Zhao tried to get up, but her waist was very weak from being bumped earlier, and she couldn't muster any strength at all.
The director originally planned to give the guests some time, standing not far away to wait, but after waiting for a long time, they still didn't get up, which made him quite anxious.
"Excuse me, are you planning to stay here overnight?"
Yu Zhao: "..."
Fang Yu: "..."
Comments: [It's not impossible, just leave some screen time for us.]
Director: "I'm here."
"Don't!"
"Wait a moment!"
Fang Yu let go of his hand, trying not to touch him. "Try again."
Yu Zhao blushed, nodded, and slowly stood up, supporting herself on either side of his neck.
As I lowered my gaze, I inadvertently met the Fang Yu, and I was so nervous that I almost bit my lip until it bled.
After confirming that the young master was alright, Fang Yu stood up, patted his bottom, and asked with a smile, "Wasn't I cool just now? I specially acted as a cushion for you. Luckily, you didn't fall, and your clothes aren't dirty."
Yu Zhao was about to say that no one would praise themselves like that, and that they had to say it out loud, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, she nodded and replied, "It's nothing."
Fang Yu held her heart in happiness.
"Hey, you promised to give it a try with me, don't go back on your word when we get back." Fang Yu followed after him, still worried. "Anyone who goes back on their word is a little dog."
Yu Zhao blushed, glared at him, but refrained from yelling at him for the sake of the camera, "Okay."
Fang Yu was happy.
Who would have thought that this one try would last a lifetime?

Ahhh, I finally released this bonus chapter! (Continuing from the previous post) I spent a whole day revising it and still wasn't satisfied. No matter how much or how little I wrote, it didn't flow smoothly. 3000+ words is the version I can accept. I did my best.
Who said they wanted to see Lazy Fish chasing after someone? Hope you like it~ Love you all ૮⑉･-･⑉ა
