Chapter 121 Jealousy Mode Activated

Chapter 121: Jealousy Mode: Major Outburst

Ever since Shen Ci returned, Shen Shiyan logged out of the "AAA WeChat Business Agent Brother Wang" account and back into his own.

Leaning back in his chair, he opened the short-video app he hadn’t touched for over two weeks. The first video that popped up was Shen Ci’s live stream.

Shen Shiyan blinked at the stream for a second, then tapped in.

Over thirty thousand viewers were in the live room, with comments scrolling rapidly.

Most were asking why Brother Wang hadn’t shown up today.

“Cibao Beauty Goddess Descends: Not just Brother Wang, Little President Fang isn’t here today either?”

“Hanging on Data Lines Electrocuted: Little President Fang is at the top of the gift list; this is his alt account.”

“Love RNB: I just noticed Brother Wang’s IP is also in Yuncheng.”

“Suing My Boss with Boiling Water for Killing His Money Tree: Could it be that Cibao is dating one of them and that’s why he chose to return?”

“A Money Tree: ?”

“Kitten Eating Fish: It’s probably Little President Fang, right? He’s so handsome.”

“I’m a Paid Commenter: Voting for Little President Fang. Besides, Brother Wang doesn’t even come to the live room anymore.”

“Camellia Flower: And Little President Fang himself said he’s been pursuing Cibao.”

......

Shen Shiyan’s brows furrowed deeper.

On screen, Shen Ci’s expression was calm. After all these years in the online world, he’d gotten used to it.

“I am in a relationship,” Shen Ci said flatly, with a faint smile. “But not with the top gift-giver or Brother Wang.”

Shen Shiyan stared at Shen Ci’s peach-blossom eyes, listening to both the phone and the sound coming from the study.

“I never said yes to Little President Fang. The money he gifted in my stream has already been returned by my boyfriend. Don't read too much into it, my lovely fans.”

Shen Shiyan’s mood lightened.

“Tissue Box: Ahhhh a boyfriend! Boyfriend!”

“Fell Into the Gay World and I'm Stuck: I knew Cibao was dating someone. Some die-hard fans kept denying it. Can’t you see the wifey aura practically overflowing from him?!”

“Love Salted Duck: Seconding the Stuck sister. Cibao’s complexion has been even better lately. He's been getting well taken care of, if you know what I mean.”

“Reborn, Selling Compact Powder Through Shorts: Little President Fang got his money back, but what about Brother Wang’s?”

“Caught in the Rain: When will people understand that gifting in a live stream is a voluntary donation? Cibao has never once asked for gifts or taken ads. Returning Little President Fang’s money is already more than generous.”

“Toad Tea Pet Became a Ugly Toad: Ahhh! Isn’t the shirt Cibao is wearing today too big? It must be his husband’s, right??”

......

Shen Ci’s face turned a little red at the comments curious about his boyfriend and their relationship.

“Hey, everyone, tone it down a little, or we’ll get banned,” Shen Ci said, lowering his head with a smile. “I’ve privately messaged Brother Wang before, but he never read or replied.”

Because of the hot topic of Shen Ci dating, the live room viewer count surged to fifty thousand.

Private message?

Shen Shiyan rubbed his fingers, exited the stream, and logged into the "AAA WeChat Business Agent Brother Wang" account.

His DMs showed 99+ unread.

Since he had thrown so many gifts Shen Ci's way, many of Shen Ci’s fans had followed Brother Wang and sent him DMs, which he’d never opened.

At the top of the message list, a pinned conversation showed “2 unread.”

He clicked it.

“Ci: Hello Brother Wang, I’ll be settling in Yuncheng. I haven’t gone live recently. To thank you for your continued support, I’d like to treat you to a meal with my boyfriend.”

“Ci: Sorry for the intrusion. Hope you’re doing well.”

Shen Shiyan's head hurt trying to figure out how to casually show Shen Ci this account.

But he was in a good mood now. Returning to the main page, he clicked into the live stream. After the flashy level-70 fan entrance animation, Shen Shiyan expressionlessly started spamming gifts, bumping Fang Yuexun’s alt account off the top of the gift list.

“Begonia Blossom Still Asleep: Brother Wang is so generous!!”

“Downing Ten Boxes of Goji Berry Concentrate: I wanna see a showdown between Brother Wang and Cibao's man! [screaming][screaming]”

The next comments followed suit, all spamming “+1.”

Shen Ci stared at the ID in a daze. He grabbed his tablet, opened his short-video account, and saw that the message he’d sent to Brother Wang had indeed been read.

Just as he was about to type, a WeChat message from Shen Shiyan popped up.

“Shen Shiyan: Can I appear on camera?”

“Shen Shiyan: Husband.”

Shen Ci felt a sudden flutter of nerves. He swallowed and tapped the chat to reply.

“Shen Ci: I was planning to post a video tomorrow.”

“Shen Ci: Then, big bro, you’ll need to act natural later.”

Switching back to the app's home screen, the short-video app pushed a system notification.

“Nearby People - @Ci: You're within 0.1 km of AAA WeChat Biz Bro Wang! Go say hi!”

Shen Ci: “?”

The live room was still buzzing. Shen Ci put the tablet away, his heartbeat quickening.

Shen Shiyan went to the kitchen, washed a box of blueberries for Shen Ci, and put them in a bowl. Then he entered the room super naturally, set the bowl on the table, and with equal naturalness, picked up one blueberry and brought it to Shen Ci’s mouth, all without glancing at the camera.

“You tired?” he asked, his voice low and soft. Seeing Shen Ci slightly dazed, he watched as Shen Ci took the blueberry into his mouth. “I left some water by you. Drink up.”

Shen Ci didn't dare look at the live room comments anymore.

As he left the room, Shen Shiyan reached out and gently stroked Shen Ci’s chin twice, like he was petting a cat, then leaned down and whispered in Shen Ci’s ear, “I’ll be waiting for you in bed.”

Then he stood up, acting like nothing happened, and closed the door.

Shen Ci chewed a single blueberry for three minutes.

“May Those Who Steal Bluetooth Earphones on the Subway Die a Horrible Death: Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh”

"Bowknot: Ahhhhhhh Ci Bao's hubby is so handsome ahhhhhhh"

"Print the boss's face on a toilet seat and sell 10,000 units: Ci Bao's hubby looks so familiar, feel like I've seen him somewhere??"

"Fortune is a cat: That's the president of Chonghe Group, right? He's been in the news many times."

"Can't think of a username: It's him it's him it's him, the legendary figure of Cloud City!!!"

"I don't know either: Please please please, make a couple cosplay, two incredibly handsome faces!!!"

......

Shen Ci's mouth was full of the sweet taste of blueberries. He touched his nose and selected a few comments to reply.

"Yeah... he's my boyfriend, known him for many years."

"He's not serious, he's a good person, and treats me well."

"Mm, I'll ask him after I end the stream if he'd be willing to cosplay with me. He's usually busy, so may not have time."

"I have dinner plans with Brother Wang tomorrow, I'll thank him in person."

"It's late, guys. Get some rest, and look forward to my new work."

Shen Ci's face flushed slightly, and for the first time he went offline with a hundred thousand people watching, feeling quite pressured.

He took two deep breaths, opened the "Nearby" feature, and after confirming again that AAA WeChat Business Agent Brother Wang was less than 0.1 km away, he strode into the bedroom with a commanding presence.

"Shen Shiyan." Shen Ci stared at the man warming the bed, who looked utterly innocent. "Hand me your phone."

As expected, Shen Ci found AAA WeChat Business Agent Brother Wang on Shen Shiyan's phone.

"Gave up energy to become a WeChat business agent?" he gritted his teeth. "Brother Wang!"

Shen Ci thought Shen Shiyan had actually managed to resist creating an alt account to watch him secretly all these years, and thought Shen Shiyan really was just watching from outside the stream, afraid to enter because he might be blocked.

Shen Shiyan couldn't help but laugh.

"You still laugh!" Shen Ci threw the phone on the bed and pinched Shen Shiyan's face. "Do you know how much the platform will deduct from that money?!"

Shen Ci did thank Brother Wang in person—as for how, you'd have to ask the two teeth marks on Shen Shiyan's hip.

Trending hashtags like this were on major apps for several days, and most of Shen Ci's fans became shippers.

After they went public, Shen Shiyan sometimes used Shen Ci's account to post everyday stuff, mostly photos. He never added background music to his videos, which made them easy to spot. The fans were living their best lives shipping the couple.

Fang Yuexun just wouldn't give up, using many different accounts to send gifts, watch livestreams, and send private messages. Shen Shiyan found this annoying.

One autumn evening, Shen Ci was sleeping soundly, fully satisfied, still in his pajamas. Shen Shiyan crawled into Shen Ci's arms and filmed a video.

That night, Shen Ci's account exploded again.

The latest video, still without background music.

The video was dim and shadowy, the light very low. Shen Shiyan held up his phone to capture Shen Ci's sleeping face, then nuzzled into Shen Ci's neck, looked up from under his lids and gave a very provocative eyebrow raise towards the camera.

Caption: Please show some restraint, Little President Yue. I already have a husband.

After waking up and seeing the trending topics, Shen Ci kicked Shen Shiyan's shoulder, blankly changing Shen Shiyan's WeChat name to "Big Baby."
