Into the Spring - Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Small, my ass!!!

What, are you that confident in what you’re packing?!

Ahem. Maybe… perhaps he was?

If I’d known, I would’ve dated a few more guys. Then I wouldn’t be sitting here now without even a reference sample…

After three seconds of silence, the entire room erupted into shrieks.

The host’s pupils practically quaked. Flustered, she coughed and stammered as she tried to smooth things over.

“Haha, Teacher Shi must know this meme, right? What a creative answer.

“I wonder what interesting answer Ranran will get on her end.”

She would have been better off not mentioning it. The moment she did, everyone’s eyes gathered on Cui Ran’s phone screen again.

One second. Two seconds. Three seconds…

Shi Xingxun acted as if he hadn’t seen her message at all. There wasn’t even a typing indicator.

Cui Ran barely managed to keep her smile in place and shrugged with feigned ease.

“Teacher Shi is probably frantically Baidu-ing a second way to continue the joke~”

In reality, however, Shi Xingxun was still stubbornly lingering in the chat window between him and me, waiting for my reply with dogged persistence.

Shi Xingxun: “Or we could video call, and you can inspect it yourself?”

…………

My vision went black. I wanted nothing more than to reach through the screen and smack him upside the head twice.

Shut your mouth already!

Don’t get the livestream moderators called in!

In fact, the comments in the livestream weren’t exactly any more restrained…

[They’re a couple?! Did my internet cut out? There wasn’t even a whisper about this.]

[If they’re good to ship, then ship them!! It’s not like these two are idols selling a single-and-available persona to survive off fans.]

[Agreed. I’m gonna be a little unhinged here: do it. For me.]

[Sis, you eat this well? You dare say it, but I don’t dare listen!]

[So you’re telling me that the cool guy who looks all aloof on the surface actually obediently wears the pink underwear his girlfriend picked out for him?!]

[I’ll admit I’m horny first. Shi Xingxun, post a photo to prove your innocence!]

[No, but why isn’t Shi Xingxun replying to Ranran? That’s so rude.]

[Exactly. Ranran is about to cry…]

[What, she cries and that makes her right? Fans, stop babying her. It’s just a variety show segment. We don’t even know if there’s a script or not.]

Looking at the frantic floor director by the side of the stage, I already knew that teddy-bear underwear was going to seize the top spot on tonight’s entertainment trending searches in one fell swoop.

Sigh. If I’d known, I would’ve asked the seller for a commission when I bought it.

Even a mosquito leg still counts as meat!

I took two deep breaths, forcing myself to calm down.

Clarifying it directly was out of the question-no one would believe me now. I had to explain this from another angle…
