From a nobody online dating to a top love brain - Chapter 47

The night before Pei Yunchuan participated in the variety show, he went crazy in the group chat, fantasizing about his singing shining brightly on the show.

That same night, Yu Nan set up a new six-person group chat, which did not include Pei Yunchuan.

Yu Yu: Yo!

Yu Nan was the first to chime in: What did Milk Tea do to deserve being excluded?

Kitty: He’s a bit too excited today.

Yu Yu: I’ll be recording that variety show tomorrow too.

He typed: Have you been bought off by Pei Yunchuan?!!!

Kitty: I said our sworn brothers are exceptional!

Dreams are everything: I just searched; there are no female non-celebrities in this episode?

Yu Yu: That Lin Shiyu is me.

Yu Nan knew her; they had discussed her when they were watching the show together in the hotel.

Watch the Sword: I grew up watching her dramas!

Yu Yu: I completely dared not recognize Milk Tea. I remember all those fishy online dating stories you told; they all came from his leaks.

Yu Nan felt a strong connection to this. Pei Yunchuan would keep your secrets, but if he got excited, he might accidentally spill everything.

Yu Nan had often mentioned going to work, complaining about various colleagues. If Milk Tea let something slip…

All of his years of hard work could go down the drain.

Kitty: My big star friend is coming to reality!!!

Dreams are everything: I watched the last season; I felt you all had such a harmonious and pleasant relationship.

Yu Nan typed a long string of messages: It’s all an act! I remember I told you about that insufferable colleague two years ago, that Xia Kuer, who was so dismissive when she first came in, hating this and that, but pretending to be a caring big sister in front of the camera.

Yu Yu: But they didn’t include that; they only showed the part where Wang An lost it. Wasn’t there a trending topic about a non-celebrity angrily confronting Xia Kuer?

Yu Yu: But they didn’t edit it all; they only showed Wang An getting angry, omitting the full story, which made her seem very volatile.

Watch the Sword: Mainly that Milk Tea. He tends to say whatever comes to mind; I hope he won’t be treated like a ball.

Yu Yu: Milk Tea is a well-connected person. I had my agent check; he does have some background.

Dreams are everything quickly asked: I know Milk Tea is rich; can you tell me how rich?

Yu Yu: The management company I’m with is part of his family’s business. The moment I realized that, I felt a bit pitiful.

Yu Yu: My agent also advised me not to have any ideas about him. Heh.

Watch the sword: @Dreams are everything, come out and pick up your pen; my new boss is actually my gaming buddy.

Yu Yu: That’s scary.

The moment the camera zoomed in on him, Pei Yunchuan launched into a self-introduction rap he had spent the whole night composing. He wasn’t quite ready to improvise yet.

After he finished, someone laughed. Pei Yunchuan’s gaze swept over everyone’s lips—who was laughing at him!

Once on the vehicle prepared by the production team, he fell silent, reflecting on himself. He seemed to have introduced himself too early.

He arrived relatively late; by the time he got there, the guests were almost all gathered. He performed his cool rap again.

The sound of cheerful laughter reached his ears. This time, he locked eyes directly on Lin Shiyu. Aside from her hearty laughter, everyone else looked serious.

Lin Shiyu regretted laughing so much. How could she let it out? Her years of managing her expressions collapsed the moment she heard Pei Yunchuan’s awkward rap.

This part had to be cut out; otherwise, she would definitely be scolded for pretending to be genuine while actually laughing at a non-celebrity.

She adjusted her hair and composed her expression, reaching out her hand to Pei Yunchuan: “Hello, I’m Lin Shiyu.”

As long as he shook her hand and they had a friendly introduction, she could help him cover up that funny rap.

Pei Yunchuan took her hand, expressionless, and repeated the rap again.

Lin Shiyu was completely stunned. Was he out of his mind?

It was that awkward feeling of being embarrassed for a familiar person. If Pei Yunchuan’s rap got aired, he would surely be laughed at mercilessly.

But he was good-looking; perhaps he could gain a reputation as a silly rapper?

He felt a bit anxious; he had hardly ever held hands with a girl. Would Lin Shiyu be charmed by his singing?

“Do you think my singing is good?” he asked.

Lin Shiyu dazedly shook her head: “It’s good.”

“Why are you shaking your head then?”

Did Milk Tea have a grudge against her? Sending Milk Tea to this variety show, viewers would be judging based on appearances—either they thought he was unique or just a bit dim.

Lin Shiyu was more convinced than ever that not recognizing him was the right choice. Milk Tea had an older brother who was relentless, and Milk Tea looked like a spoiled little tyrant from a rich family.

Born with a silver spoon in their mouth, they didn’t even need to think to get money handed to them.

“Your voice sounds familiar,” Pei Yunchuan felt like he had heard her voice somewhere before.

Lin Shiyu chose to remain silent; recognizing Milk Tea would mean saying goodbye to her acting career.

The variety show proceeded in an orderly fashion, and after a day’s schedule, Pei Yunchuan collapsed onto the bed, unmoving.

The room had a double bed, and his roommate was a new rising star in the music scene who could write lyrics, compose, and had a great voice.

“Do you think I sing well?” Pei Yunchuan asked the newcomer.

Xu Xia couldn’t tell whether the singing was good or bad, so he nodded, “It’s very good.”

“Did you bring your guitar?” Pei Yunchuan jumped up from the bed, pointing to the corner of the room.

Xu Xia loved playing the guitar, but everyone said he played badly. He took out his guitar and played one of his own songs for Pei Yunchuan.

“Was it good?” After finishing, he waited for Pei Yunchuan’s feedback.

Pei Yunchuan couldn’t discern the quality of the guitar sound, but he nodded vigorously, “It’s good!”

Hearing someone praise his guitar playing made Xu Xia so happy that he almost cried, excitedly asking, “Really?”

Pei Yunchuan nodded seriously, acknowledging Xu Xia’s guitar skills.

Without hesitation, he lunged into Pei Yunchuan’s arms, exclaiming, “You’re the first person to say I play well; I really like you!”

“You sing really well too, and your rap is very interesting,” Xu Xia generously praised him.

He had slightly long hair that was a bit curly and wore black-rimmed glasses that covered half of his face, making him look quite well-behaved.

“I like you too,” Pei Yunchuan replied sincerely.

They hit it off and chatted the whole night, with Pei Yunchuan feeling that Xu Xia was his soul friend!

“I have money. Do you want to come for the third season of this show? I’m the director!”

“The current director? He can only be the deputy for the third season!”

Pei Yunchuan blurted out whatever came to his mind, without holding back. The director of the second season, watching Pei Yunchuan on the screen and listening to his arrogant words, darkened his face and instructed the staff to cut that segment.

After one episode of the variety show, Pei Yunchuan held Xu Xia tightly, lamenting, “Xia Xia, I can’t bear to part with you!”

Xu Xia couldn’t bear to part with him either. Every night, he would play the guitar while Pei Yunchuan sang along; that was their greatest joy each day.

“Chuan, what will I do without you?” Xu Xia clung to him, unwilling to let go.

The biggest trending topic after this episode aired was brought about by them.

Only those in the know understand how badly Xu Xia played the guitar.

Only those in the know understand how badly Pei Yunchuan sang.

Lin Shiyu finally had some free time, and the seven of them decided to meet offline.

This time, all seven were fully armed, finally fulfilling their wish of meeting offline in cosplay.

Yu Nan had put in a lot of effort into his gear. The weapon prop in his hand was made by Bei Yuye, and it had to be said that Bei Yuye was really talented, creating intricate designs.

He wore a blue long dress, and his waist-length black wig made him look even more gentle. Yu Nan proudly raised the weapon prop in his hand, showcasing, “My weapon was made by Shenqing!”

Kitty chose a black and purple school uniform with armor; she reached over to touch Doggo’s muscles, saying, “Everyone, look at his tattoos! I drew them all one stroke at a time!”

Lin Shiyu wore bright red, and since her skirt was paired with harem pants, she could move about comfortably.

Watch the Sword swung his sword left and right, getting close to Pei Yunchuan: “Only those with a passionate heart can wield the icy sword!”

Pei Yunchuan held a custom sword sheath that was as large as half his body to block watch Sword, grinning, “There are five realms in this world: love, politics, commerce, magnetism, and my handsome entrance!”

Dreams are everything stood by, unable to stop laughing as he watched them fool around.

Doggo, learning a sad line, said to Kityu: “Someone in this world asked me where the Shaolin book is, right, I’ve lost in Shaolin!”

Pei Yunchuan, mimicking him, also began to recite sad lines.

Yu Nan held his phone, recording a video. Saying such pretentious lines offline felt really embarrassing, but fortunately, his sworn brothers had no sense of shame!

“What about me? I’m the shadow you can’t chase, the meteor that misses its target, the hidden wind flowing clouds that can’t touch you, and the uncalculated snow that brightens the day!” watch the would not back down.

Now, their duel’s outcome depended on who had more lines.

“My Unmatched Slash is like you, who’s lost and doesn’t return!”

“Quick snow bright days have thirteen segments, each segment comes quickly. I once thought if the speed of drawing the sword was fast enough, I could part the snow and see the sunny day, meet you!”

“Six Yi calculates the world’s affairs, but it can’t calculate your heart!”

“You’re right, but the formidable Old Huashan’s three powerful output panels suppress all nine major sects, with various upgrades, strong winds, and terrifying secret arts, crucially nailing the rhythm to take down the BOSS!”

Watch the Sword indirectly insulted all the other sects present, and Dreams are everything immediately raised his lamp to hit him.

He was chased all around.

Yu Nan messaged Bei Yuye: Even if you’re home alone, you have to be good.

Bei Yuye held Little Bichon securely, allowing Yu Nan to put on the drool cloth.

Indeed, a dog needs a good outfit. Yu Nan loved buying clothes for the dog and enjoyed dressing him up.

Bei Yuye understood Yu Nan’s feelings because he also loved buying beautiful clothes for Nan Nan; he enjoyed dressing Nan Nan up too.

Little Thing was quite pricey, more than he had imagined. He had asked his parents for an extra two months’ living expenses. Before he went to college, his dad said as long as he didn’t get into any trouble, he could ask for living expenses in advance.

Although Bei Yuye was wealthy, he didn’t want Little Bichon to be funded entirely by him; that would make him feel disconnected from the process.

“Let’s go for a stroll tonight; we haven’t used that little bee leash yet. Our little treasure will definitely look cute.” Yu Nan patted the little dog’s head. It was adorable; how could something so cute belong to him?

In the living room, there was also a small sofa for Little Bichon. They thought since they lay on the big sofa, Little Bichon deserved a little sofa too.

Bei Yuye enjoyed being a dad; even cleaning up after the dog made him happy. He took him for walks every day, and soon the little dog became familiar with the neighborhood residents. He praised his dog son to everyone he met.

Dreams are everything: I bought clothes for Little Bichon, they should be arriving soon!!!

Doggo: Kitty and I bought some toys too, remember to bring them.

Watch the. Sword: Uncle also bought a gift for Little Bichon; hope he likes it.

Yu Nan couldn’t help but laugh: @Watch the Sword, how can you call yourself an uncle?

Kitty: Next time we meet, bring him; Auntie likes Little Bichon and wants to see him.

Dreams are everything copied: Next time we meet, bring him..

Dogs are much more popular than people, especially cute ones.

“Seeing how much everyone loves our Little Bichon, I’m relieved,” Yu Nan scratched rhe dog’s head.

“Woo~”

At just over a month old, the dog was small and fluffy, like a cotton candy ball. Yu Nan attached the leash and headed out.

“Out for another walk with the dog?”

“He has grown a bit!”

“Why is he so happy today!”

Such remarks could be heard continuously as they went downstairs.

Bei Yuye also brought a frisbee down to give the dog some pre-school education. He squatted down, holding the frisbee to introduce it to Little Bichon: “This, whoosh whoosh whoosh.”

This frisbee was bigger than the dog itself, and Yu Nan couldn’t understand why Bei Yuye bought it.

The dog didn’t understand; it just bit down on it, chewing away even though it couldn’t move it.

Bei Yuye carefully pried it’s mouth open to take away the frisbee, fearing it might hurt the little one.

After all, this was Nan Nan and his precious son.

The two of them wandered around downstairs for over an hour before bringing the dog back. The living room lights were on, indicating that Pei Yunchuan had returned.

As soon as he walked in, he felt something was off. There were so many new items: a little sofa, a little cabinet, and a pile of toys. He sat on the little sofa, questioning his life choices.

The sofa was oddly placed, making it difficult to see the TV from that angle, and it was too small to sit comfortably.

As Yu Nan entered the living room holding the dog, he saw Pei Yunchuan sitting on the puppy’s sofa.

“Woo woo~”

Pei Yunchuan and the little puppy locked eyes in surprise: “Hey, a puppy.”

“Woo woo~”

Bei Yuye stroked the dog’s head, comforting: “This sofa belongs to our little treasure, right? Should Daddy go teach that bad uncle a lesson?”

“Woo~”

Pei Yunchuan immediately stood up; no wonder the sofa was so small. In just a few days away, they had gotten a dog.

“All right, all right, little treasure, be good.” Yu Nan rubbed Little Bichon’s head.

It snuggled into his embrace and nuzzled against him, humming softly.

Pei Yunchuan stepped closer, looking at the tiny bundle of fur, hesitating: “What’s this little one’s name?”

“Called Little Bichon,” Bei Yuye replied.

“Hmm… Little Bichon Doesn’t sound much like a name.”

“Woo woo~”

Bei Yute took the little puppy from Yu Nan’s arms and waved its paw at Pei Yunchuan: “This uncle is bad; he’s calling our little treasure something silly.”

“Woof woof!”

The little dog, which had seemed droopy just moments before, instantly perked up. It was Pei Yunchuan’s first time seeing how pets could use their owners to their advantage.

“Our little treasure is so cute.”

“Daddy, lift me high!”

“Woof!”
