Yan Qing Chi closed Weibo, and replied to Wei Lan: 【Youve come back to life Werent youalready dead, if needed, burn some papers1】

Wei Lans answer was almost instantaneous: 【Youre still in the mood to hold my sticker against me Shouldnt you be more concerned about the top of your head】

【Its a thick head of hair.

There is no concern of hair loss at this time.】Yan Qing Chi replied.

Wei Lan:【…Am I frigging asking you about this! Can you not see that Jiang Mo Chen met up with Yuan Ming Xu privately! The top of your head is green all over!】

Wei Lan: 【[Seeing you look so pitiful, I give you a green hat.jpg]2】

Yan Qing Chi laughed: 【Why do you care so much about me】

【Im enjoying the show.3】Wei Lan returned him with an “eating melon” sticker.4

Yan QIng Chi was helpless:【Do you have nothing else to do】

Wei Lan:【Dont dodge the question.

Whats going on How could you just let Jiang Mo Chen meet with Yuan Ming Xu privately Dont you know Jiang Mo Chen used to like Yuan Ming Xu WTF! Dont tell me you really dont know! That scum Jiang Mo Chen didnt tell you】

Yan Qing Chi:【…】

Wei Lan:【In the passionate love period of newly weds, the husband openly went out to meet his ex-boyfriend privately.

Is this the loss of morality or the distortion of human nature5】

Yan Qing Chi mused:【He doesnt count as an ex, does he】

Wei Lan: 【Nah, the two of them were never together.

So you really didnt know】

Of course Yan Qing Chi knew.

However, he was curious how much Wei Lan knew: 【Tell me what you know.】

Wei Lan was pretty generous; he wasnt shy at all: 【Im telling you, it was super dogblood-ish.

Its a “he loves him, he loves him, and HE doesnt love anyone” story! Jiang Mo Chen liked Yuan Ming Xu, Yuan Ming Xu likes Zhou Yi Xing, and Zhou Yi Xing is a completely straight man—a womanizer—he doesnt love anyone!】

Yan Qing Chi: 【Oh.】

Wei Lan:【Thats why Ive always been curious how Jiang Mo Chen actually got married with you just like this.】

Yan Qing Chi:【Probably because the timing was right, and the geographical and social conditions were favorable.】

Wei Lan asked him: 【So did you know Jiang Mo Chen would meet Yuan Ming Xu privately】

Yan Qing Chi pondered about it.

He did know.

Yesterday morning, Jiang Mo Chen had told him that he was going to meet a friend today.

He (JMC) just didnt say that it was Yuan Ming Xu.

He recalled what Jiang Mo Chen had said:Since I need to adjust my schedule, I considered it somewhat of a hassle. Hah.

His (JMC) words certainly sounded quite high-sounding.

How was it because of the schedule It was clearly because of the person.

Yan Qing Chi sneered, Liar.

He answered Wei Lan: 【He only said that he was going to meet a friend.】

【Holy sh*t, can this be normal friends! Who would have thought that Jiang Mo Chen looks like a respectable man, but he is actually able to commit this kind of scum mans action! 】

Yan Qing Chi thought that he was quite right, so he applauded him.

【Dont applaud me.

Why dont you admonish him, arent you quite good with your words】

Yan Qing Chi was just about to reply when, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a familiar figure heading in his direction.

Therefore, he didnt compose a text message.

Instead, he pressed on the voice message button.

“No need,” he said.

“The relationship between us is the type of relationship where if someone has an extramarital affair, well divorce.

There are no other feelings.

Its not like any one of us wont be able to live on without the other.”

Jiang Mo Chens footsteps halted.

He looked at Yan Qing Chi, who was currently looking down at his phone.

Even though he didnt know who was on the other side, he knew that he (YQC) was talking about them.

What a goodthere are no other feelings, its not like any one of us wont be able to live on without the other.

He smiled coldly.

He didnt make a sound, pivoting on the spot and leaving.

Yan Qing Chi sensed that he had left.

He looked down at Wei Lans reply.

Wei Lan asked him: 【Just what is the deal with you two】

Yan Qing Chi said candidly: 【Childhood engagement.

Since weve reached the suitable age, we got married.】

He omitted Yan Qing Xis part in it, since he didnt think there was a need to be so detailed.

Wei Lan was clearly astonished:【Such an old-fashioned tradition, and you two actually went through with it Are you planning tofirst marriage then love】

Yan Qing Chi answered with a smiley face:【Sure, if were compatible.】

Wei Lan: 【…Brave one!】

Yan Qing Chi replied to him: 【Help me keep it a secret.

Youre not allowed to let anyone else know.】

Wei Lan sent a sticker zipping its mouth: 【Dont worrybout it.】

Wang Xiang Hai looked at his boss who had been in what could be regarded as a relaxed mood when he dismissed him (WXH) and Little Liu as he went to find Yan Qing Chi.

Yet Jiang Mo Chen returned with a scowl.6 He was at a total loss7, “What is it, Chen-ge”

Jiang Mo Chen didnt speak.

He picked up his script and began to read it.

He was usually amicable.

This sudden change scared Little Wang, and he immediately sent Yan Qing Chi a WeChat message:【Did Chen-ge go find you just now】

Yan Qing Chi played dumb:【No, I didnt see him.】

This didnt count as a lie.

After all, he certainly didnt see him head-on.

Now Little Wang was baffled:【Chen-ge had said that he was going to go see you.

I thought he went to find you.

But he didnt】

Yan Qing Chi replied:【I didnt see him, what happened to him】

Little Wang looked at Jiang Mo Chens brooding expression, then replied:【Hes in a bad mood!】

Yan Qing Chi internally commented, “Hes in a bad mood just with this” He lifted his head and looked up at the sky.

He certainly did not want to see Jiang Mo Chen right now.

When he saw the other man, he would remember how yesterday morning he (JMC) had lied to him.

And he (YQC) had, like a complete idiot, asked him (JMC) if he should treat the other party to a meal together with him.8There was no need (for JMC to lie).9 He wasnt the kind of person who liked to poke his nose in matters, nor would he quibble10 about it.

Even if Jiang Mo Chen told him honestly that he was going to meet Yuan Ming Xu, he would also agree to it.

Why did he (JMC) need to lie to him

The atmosphere last night had clearly been very good and they had brainstormed together on the name for his (YQC) fans while eating breakfast.

Yet, in the next moment, he (JMC) lied to him about this kind of thing.

For things like lies, when there was a first time, there would be a second time—especially because of Yuan Ming Xu.

Yan Qing Chi reviewed the plot.

In the original novel, it had been after this time that he returned to the country that Yuan Ming Xu had decided to forget Zhou Yi Xing and try dating Jiang Mo Chen.

Their relationship wasnt bad; they were close to confirming their romantic relationship.

Then, Zhou Yi Xing came back.

Zhou Yi Xing brought his heart— which had “changed for the better”11—as well as his sexuality—which had been bent12—and confessed to Yuan Ming Xu.

He (ZYX) hoped that Yuan Ming Xu could forgive him and be together with him.

Thus, Yuan Ming Xu, who felt that he had fallen in love with Jiang Mo Chen but also felt that he was unable to give Zhou Yi Xing up, began to vacillate between the two parties.

Yan Qing Chi thought that this was quite headache-inducing.

Since Yuan Ming Xu had come back, it was unknown if Zhou Yi Xing would still “change for the better” and see the errors in his ways.

In his impression, Zhou Yi Xing was not somebody who was easy to deal with either!

Yan Qing Chi shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

He glanced at his phone, finally replying Little Wang: 【I cant help you.】

When Little Wang saw these four words, he was practically dumbstruck.

Was this still that Yan Qing Chi who their boss would have pleasant chats with and who had a unique relationship with their boss! If youre not able to help, who is!

He glanced at Jiang Mo Chen, troubled, silently going over a list of suitable candidates to help him talk to the latter.

In the end, Little Wang chose Yu Xing He, whose temperament was more gentle.

It wasnt the first time for Yu Xing He to receive this kind of WeChat message from him.

Hence, once he understood the whole situation, he didnt hesitate to agree.

【You and Yuan Ming Xing met】 Yu Xing He sent Jiang Mo Chen a WeChat message and got straight to the point.

Jiang Mo Chen replied: 【Mn.】

【It was an unpleasant talk】

【Well, it was alright.】

【I thought so, from the picture.

Then why are you in a bad mood】

Jiang Mo Chen was somewhat confused: 【What picture】

【The one in the trending search.

Youve been appearing on the trending search a bit frequently these two days.】

Jiang Mo Chen was mystified.

Only when he opened Weibo did he find out that he and Yuan Ming Xu were currently at the top of the trending searches in the microblog.

When he tapped into it, it was packed with the marketing accounts Weibo publications.

Jiang Mo Chen turned to look towards Little Wang, “What is this”

Little Wang moved in close and took a look.

When he found out that he (JMC) was asking about the trending search with Yuan Ming Xu, he replied very naturally, “Yuan Ming Xus side bought it.

Its the common practice of their team.

Its normal.”

“How come I didnt know” Jiang Mo Chen asked him, “Did you see it earlier Why didnt you tell me”

Little Wang was somewhat baffled.

“Arent these common practices Chen-ge, you told us before that if Yuan Ming Xus side wanted to borrow your popularity, to let them.

We didnt need to take care of it.”

Jiang Mo Chen was stunned.

He certainly did say these words before.

In the very beginning, Yuan Ming Xus popularity was not high and he didnt have good resources.

At that time, he wanted to help him (YMX).

So, every time Yuan Ming Xu linked their names to go on the trending search, he would always turn a blind eye to it.

Wu Yuan used to tell him that it wasnt good for his image.

When Yuan Ming Xus team bought the trending search, they always put his name first to attract attention.

However, it was an unspoken agreement among fans that the person whose name was in the front was the one who bought the trending search.

If this continued, this wouldnt bode well for his image in the discussions.

At that time, he didnt care, only telling them to not bother with it.

As a result, he only knew about it now while the trending search had been up there for so long.

Jiang Mo Chen left the set.

He found a quiet place and called Wu Yuan, “Do you know that I and Yuan Ming Xu went on the trending searches”

“I know.

Its obvious that the picture was taken at a carefully chosen angle.

It must have been released by the team.

If its not our team, its Yuan Ming Xus.

Not to mention that Yuan Ming Xu had just returned to the country and as soon as he posted a Weibo post, the marketing accounts promptly followed up on it.

I presumed it (the trending search) was bought by their team, so I didnt deal with it.”

For a moment, Jiang Mo Chen couldnt name the emotions he felt.

He thought of the sharp senses Yan Qing Chi had shown that day when he (YQC) had tackled him to the ground.

His (YQC) observation skills were above average.

He already somewhat sensed it long before other people noticed.

There was no way that he didnt know that he (JMC) had been behind him at that time.

He did it on purpose.

He deliberately switched to answer via voice message.

He deliberately said those words for him (JMC) to hear.

Jiang Mo Chen recalled how these days, Yan Qing Chi would check Weibo at random times.

It was his first time entering the entertainment circle when he found many things fascinating.

He was still at the stage of exploring and learning.

Weibo was one of the ways he learned.

He must have seen his (JMC) trending search with Yuan Ming Xu, seen the marketing accounts plug, and seen the picture of the two of them.

He had just experienced a promotion like this, so he knew what it was.

It was simply a publicity stunt—a publicity stunt that he and Yuan Ming Xu collaborated in to help boost the news of Yuan Ming Xus return to the country.

Jiang Mo Chen only felt that, at that instant, he (JMC) had lost.

Just now, he had been angry because Yan Qing Chi spoke without any appreciation of the gravity of things; he had thought that he (YQC) had gone overboard.

He stood on the emotional high-ground, thinking that Yan Qing Chi was fickle and impersonal.

But now, Yan Qing Chi stood on the moral high-ground, looking down at his lousy lie.

He looked at the actions he (JMC) made behind his back with a smile, and then told him:You and I have no feelings between us.

If you cheat, well get divorced.

If we get along, we can commune.

If we dont, then well split.

Jiang Mo Chen felt somewhat miserable—for Yan Qing Chi who saw this trending search, and because of those words that Yan Qing Chi had uttered.

Hoarsely, he spoke, “Get rid of the trending search.

Tell Yuan Ming Xus side to not buy any trending searches related to me anymore, or else our side will follow the normal procedures.”

Wu Yuan was quite surprised, “Are you for real”

“Yeah.”

“Goodness, whats up with you today Youve suddenly thought things through, and dont want to be thespendthrift fool13 anymore”

Speaking of plugs…Heres a plug of a oneshot I recently translated: Ive Heard That Dragon Eggs are Delicious.

Its MC Gong, but its not really explicit.

Chapters: 5/14.

Thank you for the kofi and for your patience!

Thank you for reading my translation! If you like it, please consider supporting me by turning off your adblock or by supporting me through kofi!

Footnotesreference to Chapter 28This is the closest pic I could find in a Google search:

(from this source).

Though heres a GIF I found and thought was amusing: 看熱鬨不嫌事大.

Okay, so its similar to “Im just sipping the tea” and “Im watching the movie with popcorn”.

Its just expressing how those who are spectating dont care/mind if the situation/drama gets intense.

They want to see a good show.

I couldnt think of a good translation for it that captured its essence… Visual Example: Visual Example: Same reference as in Chapter 12 (Is This Due to Moral Degeneration or the Distortion of Human Nature!) So the raw was like this: 王向海看著自家老闆還算輕鬆的打發走了他和小劉,去找燕清池,卻陰著一張臉回來了。I decided to split this sentence up into two because I couldnt figure out how to make it flow in one sentence while keeping things clear.丈二和尚摸不著頭腦 (zhàngèrhéshang, mōbuzháotóunǎo) – an idiom that literally means “like a three-meter high monk, you cant rub his head”.

(You cant reach the head of this super tall monk.) Figuratively, it means that the person is “at a total loss”.

Thanks, MDBG.He asked in Chapter 40 if they were treating JMCs friend to a meal like they had for Liao Si Bo back in Chapter 37.

This was phrased as so: 何必呢,他又不是什麼愛管東管西的人,也不會斤斤計較這種小事,就算江默宸實話實話說他要去見元明煦,他也會同意。何必要騙他呢?It was phrased as a rhetorical question in the first clause (何必呢).

It would be something like “there is no need / why should…/what was the point” I chose to tweak it because I couldnt figure out how to phrase the rhetorical question as a statement otherwise.

Alternatively, I could have translated it as “It was unnecessary”.He wouldnt care about these kinds of trivial matters.

He wouldnt hold it against JMC.referring to him changing his womanizing ways to settle downHe is no longer a completely straight guy冤大頭 (yuāndàtóu) – someone who is a fool and has more money than sense.

Its a term used to describe people who easily pay for things without checking or just someone who wastes their money.

According to Baidu, the “old yet still frequently used” English equivalent idiom is “buy a pig in a poke”-
