A gossip account dug into the daily lives of the members of the transformation project, pairing Wen Biyan and Xiaobailian together, describing them as “a match made in heaven, with children in tow.” Beneath the gossip were dozens of high-definition images, all of Wen Biyan and Xiaobailian, each holding a child resembling an adult, with happiness in their eyes.
Gu Xi was stunned, feeling like a corner of his heart had been hollowed out. Searching further, he suddenly found the entire internet discussing this matter, with comments from netizens or water army members being largely similar.
“The happiest thing in my life is to have two children with you, one like you and one like me.”
“I declare Wen Biyan and Liu Fei are locked! I’ve swallowed the key!”
“The looks of this family of four! Can I reincarnate on the spot and be their third child in the next life?!”
Clearly, I’m the one who gave birth to them!
Gu Xi was furious! He grabbed the voice changer, knocked on the door, “Let’s eat first, say goodbye to Uncle, we’ll chat next time.”
Based on his understanding of Wen Biyan, this press release shouldn’t have come from him. He needed to quickly hang up to clarify the rumors!
Gu Xi remained calm on the surface until he finished serving breakfast to his son and noticed that Wen Biyan hadn’t made any clarification. Suddenly, he felt a bit disheartened.
Wasn’t it agreed that from the protagonist to all the fans, they would all be irritable, one by one?
Could it be true?
Gu Xi resisted for a while, but couldn’t help it, and asked Baozi indirectly, “Are you familiar with Uncle Wen?”
Baozi tilted his head and thought for a moment, “Um.”
Although it was Liu Fei who persistently brought the little girl to them, Wen Biyan didn’t pay much attention to her, just let the kids play together, and coldly rejected Liu Fei’s proposal to cook together.
But Baozi obviously couldn’t understand. One-sided “familiarity” wasn’t real familiarity.
With a son following him around twenty-four hours a day, Wen Biyan still managed to let Liu Fei vie for attention. He really liked her.
This thought flashed through Gu Xi’s mind, and suddenly he sobered up. The wall Wen Biyan faced hadn’t belonged to him four years ago, and whether now or in the future, whoever he protected from wind and rain had nothing to do with himself.
Gu Xi self-mockingly thought that just with one confused phone call, he couldn’t even figure out his own position. Wen Biyan’s drunken consciousness obviously remained four years ago, but when sober, perhaps he didn’t want to mention the past at all.
He rubbed his son’s head and instructed, “You two should get along well. If Uncle Wen and the pretty lady talk to you, just play by yourself obediently. Adults have their own secrets to tell.”
Baozi nodded vigorously.
Adults really had a lot of secrets. Uncle Wen also liked to tell him “secrets” before going to bed, asking him not to tell anyone.
Baozi puffed out his chest. He was an honest kid who didn’t even tell his dad.
…
After Wen Biyan finished the video call with Baozi, he received a call from his dad, who first asked if Baozi was his child.
“No,” Wen Biyan replied coldly.
“Hmph.” Chairman Wen clearly didn’t believe him. “With that Liu Fei, I’ve seen some stuff online that seems plausible… “
The family of four’s picture was very persuasive, plus Wen Biyan, at his age, still hadn’t found a girlfriend, so Chairman Wen now felt positive about anything.
“Not close,” Wen Biyan spat out, too lazy to explain further.
Being pestered by his dad to get married, Wen Biyan didn’t have the mind to check what was being said online.
He felt unhappy inside and couldn’t help but wonder how Gu Xi would react if he saw this rumor. He had kept himself “pure” in the entertainment industry, shutting down rumors the moment they emerged. He just hoped that one day, if Gu Xi wanted to come back, he wouldn’t be held back by the messy things online.
After waiting for four years without any sign, Wen Biyan couldn’t help but feel a bit retaliatory about not clarifying things.
…
The recording for the second episode began, with Wen Biyan saying he wouldn’t clarify things, but his body naturally kept its distance from Liu Fei.
Any male artist who had cooperated with Liu Fei couldn’t escape her bundled hype package. Regardless of whether they responded or not, Liu Fei would symbolically shed tears in front of the public, as if she had encountered a scumbag who deceived her body and heart.
Wen Biyan and Baozi wore matching sunglasses, exuding a cold air. Within the transformation project team, not only was Wen Biyan being watched, but Baozi was no exception.
As the director was explaining the rules of the next game to Wen Biyan, his expression suddenly changed, and with a long stride, he abruptly disappeared from sight.
Director: ???
Baozi was stacking blocks with a few other children. When a girl came closer, Baozi was puzzled about why she was getting closer, but suddenly, he was lifted off the ground from behind.
“Get up.”
“Dad?”
“It’s nothing.” Wen Biyan pinched Baozi’s cheek lightly, his tone casual.
This scene, when posted online, drove netizens crazy with laughter. Some even edited a montage titled “Someone Wants to Kiss My Son Again”. Regardless of what Wen Biyan was doing, it seemed like he had eyes at the back of his head. Whenever someone tried to kiss Baozi, he immediately swooped in like a lioness retrieving her cub, causing the scene to distort with speed.
Wen Biyan looked self-righteous, with an expression that clearly said, “No early romance allowed.” Baozi, clueless, didn’t know what was happening.
While everyone was laughing, the only ones crying were the dedicated fans of Wen Biyan and Baozi. These two were unsafe anywhere!
“Waaah! Our big brother is being exploited by that little white lotus for hype, and our little bro is being taken advantage of too!”
“Mommy, please stop recording and take us home!”
“Big brother has already improved so much, can’t he get a reduced sentence? Waaah, I regret it, I shouldn’t have mobilized my relatives to vote!”
“Ahhh, I regret too, I even contacted my ex-boyfriend.”
A large-scale regret session in the fan circle.
The thought process of these dedicated fans was too sentimental, even for Gu Xi to comprehend.
…
On the final day of filming, Baozi suddenly broke out in a rash.
Wen Biyan rushed him to the hospital and anxiously asked the staff to contact Baozi’s family.
Coincidentally, Gu Xi’s phone had died due to overtime work, automatically shutting off. By the time he finished work at midnight, Wen Biyan had already lost his temper several times.
The hospital bed had the name “Gu Wen Shu” written on it, which infuriated Wen Biyan even more! What kind of name was that! From now on, he decided to call him Wen Shu!
Wen Biyan could feel the love Baozi had for his father, including his unintentional remark about joining the project to lighten his father’s burden.
Wen Biyan had initially planned to shoot a couple of father-son commercials with Baozi, with all the proceeds going to him. Now he dismissed this idea. Who knew if the parents would become even more shameless and continue using their child to make money. In his mind, parents who had never met him were already unforgivable; if he saw them, he might just lose control of himself…
“The phone might be unreachable due to some problem,” his assistant tried to console him.
“Shouldn’t a child be available to contact twenty-four hours a day?”
It’s hard to comfort a sick child, and he kept crying for his father. When his father didn’t come, he started calling Wen Biyan “Daddy.”
Wen Biyan’s heart softened. Although he wasn’t good at comforting people, he finally managed to coax Baozi to sleep.
Gu Xi knew that his son being admitted to the hospital must have scared Wen Biyan and the others. Wen Biyan and they were in the neighboring city, and Gu Xi couldn’t find immediate tickets at this late hour, so he had to drive himself.
It took him five hours to reach the hospital.
The dark circles under his eyes had deepened by two shades due to overtime work.
While Wen Biyan was fetching water, there suddenly appeared a busy figure in Baozi’s ward.
“The father,” his assistant said.
He was really good-looking, gentle, and polite, a world apart from Wen Biyan. Even though he had come in looking furious, the moment he stepped into the ward, his actions immediately became gentle and slow, as if afraid of waking the child. No wonder Baozi was so cute.
Wen Biyan put down the water jug and took a deep breath. “Tell him to come out!”
“Are you going to hit him?” his assistant trembled.
“No.”
“I’ll teach him a lesson.”
Wen Biyan boasted arrogantly.
At that moment, Gu Xi turned around.
He was wearing a loosely fitted knitted sweater, and his prominent collarbones and dark circles were very obvious.
Wen Biyan instantly fell silent.
The author has something to say: Not only did he not clarify the rumors, he even threatened to hit someone. Tsk tsk.
Baozi [nodding]: Uncle Wen and the pretty lady are very familiar.
