I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 84: Su Yan
Su Yan hung up on the manager and sat home waiting for someone.
The sunken sofa faced the entrance; he just sat there, staring at the door, waiting for the sound of a key turning in a lock.
What came first, though, was the latest gossip about Lin Banyan.
#Lin Banyan and Shi Yuhuai suspected of cohabiting#
#Lin Banyan and Shi Yuhuai in the same car#
#Lin Banyan and Shi Yuhuai entering and exiting together#
......
"Crash!"
The tea set on the coffee table was swept to the floor. Su Yan stood up, took a duckbill cap from the light green coat rack by the door, put it on, and went out.
Lin Banyan didn’t expect Su Yan to blatantly knock on her door, without even wearing a mask, while online gossip was still trending—he came over.
The first thing he said through the peephole was, "I’m Su Yan, open the door."
His expression was casually normal, as if he was completely unaware of how enticing the name Su Yan was for the paparazzi.
Lin Banyan furrowed her brows, not opening the door.
She took off the cardigan draped over her shoulders and hung it on the green coat rack by the door, wearing only a long, flesh-colored knit dress that revealed her entire figure. She was barefoot, stepping onto the wooden floor, gracefully walking to the large floor mirror in the living room.
A week later, she had a rather important show, needing to maintain her figure precisely and appear composed.
Su Yan watched from the peephole as the small flesh-colored shadow grew smaller, then switched from knocking to calling out.
"Banyan, open the door. If you don’t, I’ll find a locksmith."
"Yanyan, I saw the paparazzi."
Su Yan eventually got inside, standing before Lin Banyan’s coat rack, watching her flitting about like a butterfly, pouring water, tossing a vegetable salad, and searching for bread.
He frowned at the pathetically bland vegetable salad and said in a deep, cool voice, "Still have a show coming up?"
Such matters were easy to confirm, and Lin Banyan had no intention of hiding it, nodding while using her fork to jab a piece of broccoli into her mouth.
She didn’t look at his face.
Having liked him for so long, just hearing him speak she knew he was frowning. It was like a god-like figure who usually was a High Peak Snow frowning—like snow on a cherished bonsai, irresistible to brush away.
"Yanyan."
Unable to tolerate being ignored by her, Su Yan stepped forward, taking her bread slices, "I’ll make you something else to eat."
"No need."
Lin Banyan continued eating her salad, swallowing the mouthful before elegantly placing her fork down and sitting properly, saying, "I have a show; I’ll eat less of other things."
"Must you go? You’ve done quite a few shows this week."
"Before, I used to do them every day for a week, each lasting all day, and it was fine."
Su Yan set the plate down, looking into her eyes, "You don’t need such a large workload now."
"Why not? I’ve always needed it unless I catch up on the time wasted these past few years, then I can afford to wait for the annual major show like Brother Huai."
"You aren’t the same."
"Indeed, not the same; I’m not as good as him."
"Why do you compare with him?!" Su Yan intensified his tone, "You are you, he is he, you have nothing to do with each other!"
"Of course we do," Lin Banyan stood, coolly facing him, "I’ve walked shows alongside Brother Huai at Jiali since childhood; I know his matters, he knows mine. He knows I need a career now, but you don’t. Did you see the fan reaction after my appearance on the show? No one knows me anymore! Everything I’ve gained over the years is gone; others mention Jiali knowing Shi Yuhuai, Qu Huan, others—even if not me."
"Is it because of this you want to break up with me?"
"Let’s phrase it accurately—it’s already ended."
Su Yan was baffled, "For a career, why must we separate? Can’t I help you?"
"No one can help me," Lin Banyan calmly said, "only I can help myself."
If she didn’t leave Su Yan, she’d always revolve around him, forgetting her career, the company’s expectations, perpetually lost in a self-created blissful swamp.
She was resolute, and Su Yan was sulky, striding over and hugging her.
Lin Banyan’s hands wildly pounded his body, "Su Yan, what are you doing?!"
"Listen, my heart is about to die."
Lin Banyan’s ears burned red—he always said misleading things at inappropriate times.
"If you’re dying, what does it have to do with me?"
"Lin Banyan, saying that don’t you feel guilty? You chased me, embraced me, kissed me, now say let go—you let go, what am I supposed to do?"
"Su Yan!"
Su Yan held her in one hand, the other gently caressed her nape, swiftly kissing her.
Su Yan knew her body too well; a gentle pinch of her waist and she softened completely, blushing and panting softly while looking at him.
"We’ll go public, you move back in. If you want a career and show to walk, I’ll accompany you, help you. Whatever you want, I’ll help, we’ll go public—is that okay?"
After a moment of silence, Lin Banyan pushed him away.
——
Shi Yuhuai was totally unaware of how his junior sister was being besieged by the dog man breaking in, kissing, and whispering sweet nothings, after all, he was just a single straight guy.
Under the "training" of the company’s PR department, he issued a second statement.
[Jiali—Shi YuhuaiV: Lin Banyan and I belong to the same company; as her senior, only due to safety concerns I took her home when the paparazzi chased her car. Housing is company-arranged, so nearby, not living together. Not living together, not living together, not living together, please media stop focusing on my private life, give us a bit of space to move freely, thanks.]
[Such detailed and specific yet long and polite wording definitely not truly heartfelt cry from my Brother Huai]
[This wording clearly the seasoned PR work, Huai are you temporarily taken over by the company on Weibo?]
[The day Huai handles such clarification, I can rest assured.]
[Brother Long Legs’s dumb cuteness glaringly revealed between the lines]
[Request those media paparazzi not chase him; he leads a simple life. If there’s romance, we’ll notify you first-hand, alright?]
[I can’t—Huai and Lin Banyan are like siblings since childhood at Jiali, and won’t become a romantic pair like that sibling relationship, can’t you stop dragging them out every time?]
[Did Lin Banyan stir Su Yan’s hornet’s nest? Just supported my brother once, and then by coincidence Su Yan watched her show? If it’s all coincidence, fans so annoying does Su Yan even behave humanly anymore?]
[Sorry, I’m a Su Yan fan, we truly don’t mean to target Sister Banyan or Brother Huai, those directly cursing aren’t true fans]
[Some fans love mistaking dreams for reality—what’s a male god? Just a guy having nothing to do with you ever, you fuss over personal feelings is that amusing?]
