Jealousy (2) – unedited

Xi Chengyun balanced himself on the balls of his feet, leaning back as he flung his arm around the back of Bai Qi’s chair. To the audience, it looked like he was holding him in his arms.

【Ngaw!】

Su Meng corrected her posture and walked towards Bu Xiao. She tapped him on the shoulder and said, “I really tried for your sake, but it doesn’t seem like it would work.”

【? What’s going on? Why are you even participating in the show then?】

Bu Xiao frowned and remained silent.

After some time, he said, “I’m a fan of Bai Qi.”

【?】

【So, after the whole hoo-ha, the both of you are actually here to get closer to your idols】

【Bai Qi Qi has fans of his own now】

【Xi-ge looks like he’s fuming】

“What is there to like about me?” Bai Qi asked, confused.

His question caused everyone, including those on set and online, to go into a frenzy.

【Baby, are you misunderstanding something? You are amazing, from the top of your head to the bottom of your toes! You are handsome, smart, multi-talented, and so much more!】

“A lot of things,” Bu Xiao replied.

“Mnm, who wouldn’t like Bai Qi, hm?” Xi Chengyun gently whispered to Bai Qi.

‘Who wouldn’t like Bai Qi?’ —  It was as if Xi Chengyun included himself in the statement.

Bai Qi was stunned, then, he merrily replied, “Mn!”

He seemed to have lost his ability to form longer sentences. A blush could be seen on his neck, though not on his face or ears.

【I am too young! I never would’ve thought that Xi-laoshi would be able to use an opponent’s words to his advantage】

【“Who wouldn’t like Bai Qi?” By that, doesn’t he mean that ‘I like Bai Qi’!】

【He doesn’t openly state that he’s jealous of his wife’s fans in order to not affect his wife’s reputation. Instead, you can see him discreetly showing off his status and scaring them away! He’s got very high emotional intelligence!】

Bu Xiao pursed his lips. He clearly looked unhappy, as if someone owed him money.

He didn’t plan to participate in the tightrope walking anymore. He turned away to fetch something from the crew. It seemed like he didn’t mind staying in a tent.

Su Meng sighed a breath of relief, ‘Finally, I can have a rest.’ She didn’t really care about where she’ll be staying either.

After a moment, Bu Xiao came back with a bottle of water.

He handed it to Bai Qi and asked, “Are you thirsty?”

【I have nothing to say about Bu Xiao’s actions. Are you also a fan who’d like to marry their idol? Please stop disturbing him, got it?】

【His fans will scold Bai Qi if he doesn’t accept the water, won’t they? His fans are exactly the same as their idol – utterly self-centered】

Instantly, the audience started to fight in the comments section.

Xi Chengyun spared a glance at Bu Xiao.

Bu Xiao kept his composure, stood straight and repeated, “Here you go.”



Bai Qi smiled and accepted the bottle. “You’re too kind.”

Bu Xiao pursed his lips, the corner of his lips drawn upwards.

【! Xi-laoshi, the chair handle is about to break in half!】

【There isn’t a change in Xi-ge’s expression, but you can see the coldness in his eyes. _(:з」∠)_ I’m a little scared 】

Bai Qi hurriedly followed up on his reply. “Since you’re so kind, could you get me another bottle of water please? Thanks. Oh, and biscuits would be nice. Plus, some melon seeds would be nice to munch on too. Also, is oden sold around the area?”

“…” Bu Xiao expressed.

【HAHAHA I thought I’m a beloved fan of yours. Turns out, I’m no more than an errand boy】

【Since you’re so kind, I’m sure you wouldn’t mind going a few rounds to grab all the items】

True enough, Bu Xiao turned to grab the items.

He wore a long face as he handed him biscuits, seeds and water and said, “I’m not sure if there’s oden sold around the area…”

Bai Qi gave an insouciant nod. “Mn, it’s alright, you can take your time to find it.”

Bu Xiao was speechless.

After that, Bai Qi passed another bottle of water to Xi Chengyun. “Xi-ge, here, have some water.”

Xi Chengyun couldn’t help but laugh.

Bai Qi was such a sweet boy.

So sweet that people couldn’t help but like him a little more.

【Oh, so the other bottle of water you requested is for Xi-ge. You’re truly a good wife!】

【Bu Xiao — Merely an errand boy for the couple】

Xi Chengyun unscrewed the bottle cap and tipped his head to consume the water. Meanwhile, he lowered his gaze and looked at Bai Qi through the transparent bottle.

He knew that a lot of people liked himself, and similarly, he knew that more and more people would fall in love with Bai Qi.

The cooling water slowly rolled down his throat, which helped dissipate the heat. He even thought that the water tasted a little sweet.

‘Just like the taste of Bai Qi.’

A thought uncontrollably appeared in Xi Chengyun’s mind —

He wanted to fully own Bai Qi, entirely.

Bu Xiao was too young to read the room. He asked, “Is Xi-laoshi always that angry when there’s someone else who likes you?”

The thought of Jiang Fangcheng appeared in his mind.

‘Hm, nope, not really.’

Usually, Xi-laoshi would smile at you as he punches you in the face. Later on, he’d teach you a lesson in front of a crowd of people.

But that was a different case.

Jiang Fangcheng and Xi-laoshi have had beef with each other since the olden days.

Bai Qu smacked his lips before he saw Xi Chengyun looking up and smiling. Xi Chengyun wore an expression similar to that when he talked to Jiang Fangcheng. He nonchalantly said, “Mn, I’ll make you into a concrete block and throw you into the sea.”

He seemed a bit too serious to be kidding.

A series of thoughts uncontrollably came to Bai Qi’s mind.

‘Back then, he wasn’t happy because of Jiang Fangcheng.’

‘How about today?’

Bu Xiao isn’t Jiang Fangcheng, they don’t inherently hate each other.

‘Then… this is beyond the scope of the contract… and he is feeling jealous?’
