Chapter 168.2 [Extra five]
Editor: Jodi
Lin An Lan was chatting with Zhuo Siya.
Thanks to their midnight announcement, Zhuo Siya was extremely busy.
Zhuo Siya: [Will you be joining any variety shows this year? Your announcement caused a huge stir online and every variety show, whether it’s airing or not, has reached out to me, asking if you’re willing to participate. Some even want to invite you and Cheng Yu together.]
Lin An Lan: [This is too fast, right?]
Zhuo Siya: [It’s mainly because they don’t want to miss out on the fervour you guys have generated this time. Magazine publishers have also contacted me several times, wanting to discuss your coming out and do a cover shoot.]
Lin An Lan: [That’s not necessary.]
Zhuo Siya: [So, will you be considering the variety shows?]
Lin An Lan actually wasn’t keen on it, as he wasn’t interested in appearing in a variety show, however he guessed that Cheng Yu might be quite interested. He had enjoyed being on ‘Backpacking For Youngsters’ before they had gotten together, so now that they were, he would probably want to be on one even more.
Lin An Lan: [Let’s talk about that later. I’ll think about it.]
The moment he sent this message, Cheng Yu returned.
“What’s going on?” Lin An Lan asked him.
“My cousin said something he shouldn’t have, so my grandfather’s a bit angry.”
“What did he say?” Lin An Lan sensed that it might be related to him and Cheng Yu. “Was it about me? Me and you?”
Cheng Yu nodded.
“Then why is your grandfather angry? Shouldn’t he be on the same side as your cousin’s?”
“How could he be?” Cheng Yu sat beside him. “Him allowing you to come back to spend the New Year with him means he’s already compromised in his heart and that he has accepted you. However at his age, his mindset is still a bit stubborn, so even though he’s already accepted it, he still fantasizes about us separating.”
“But you’re already here and have met our relatives with me, so regardless of what others think, they have to respect you even if it’s on the surface. Otherwise, it’s not just disrespecting me but also disrespecting him. That’s why he got so angry when my cousin said those things about us.”
” As far as he’s concerned, he can say we’re not suitable, and that I’m unfilial, but others don’t have that right, because you standing by my side in front of him not only means that I acknowledge you as my future partner, but that he also acknowledges this fact.”
Holding Lin An Lan’s hand, Cheng Yu continued gently. “So from now on, no one will bother you anymore.”
Lin An Lan understood. No wonder Cheng Yu insisted on introducing him to their relatives during dinner even though Cheng Xiao disagreed.
It turns out it wasn’t just to introduce him, but to also tell the others in the Cheng family his position now.
“The relations between your family is really not friendly at all.”
“Of course it isn’t.” Cheng Yu played with his fingers. “My grandfather has three sons. My dad is the second oldest. He has an older brother and a younger brother. Although my grandfather likes him, he didn’t plan to give the company to him at first, so there was a struggle between them, which has led to the current situation.”
Lin An Lan clicked his tongue. “Seems like your dad is quite impressive.”
“He’s alright.” Cheng Yu told him. “If he didn’t have some ability, my mom wouldn’t have chosen to marry him.”
Lin An Lan remembered, “You mentioned during dinner that you wanted to take me to your mom’s side?”
“Are you willing?” Cheng Yu smiled. “If you’re not, then we won’t go this year. I just said it to make my grandfather angry.”
“Then let’s go.” Lin An Lan thought. “You’ve already said it. If we don’t act, it’ll be embarrassing.”
“Then I’ll take you there in a couple of days.” Cheng Yu said happily.
“Okay.” Lin An Lan nodded. “Right, Zhuo Siya mentioned that there are variety show invitations for us. Are you interested?”
Cheng Yu was surprised. “Us?”
“Yes. It’s because we made an official announcement that’s why variety shows are reaching out to us. Sun Meng should have also received some invitations. You can take a look.”
“Then I’ll check it out.” Cheng Yu told him.
He was actually quite excited. When he had appeared on the variety show with Lin An Lan before, they hadn’t come out publicly, so many things had had to be done off-camera. But now that they had, it was different!
At least this time, he could do whatever he wanted without having to worry about the gains and losses.
Cheng Yu grinned, almost wishing he could record a variety show with him right away.
“Are you willing to go?” He sounded Lin An Lan out.
“I am.” Lin An Lan replied, “Why would I ask if I wasn’t willing?”
Seeing that he was willing, Cheng Yu had no more reservations.
“Then I’ll ask Sun Meng later and choose one that we both think is good.”
“Okay.”
“Can we hold hands in front of the camera this time?” Cheng Yu asked him.
Lin An Lan smiled as he held his hand. “Of course.”

After dinner at the Cheng family’s house, the two left and returned to their own home.
Then Cheng Yu contacted Sun Meng, who replied: [Indeed, someone contacted me, but aren’t you planning to leave the circle? You still want to go on variety shows?]
Cheng Yu: [Is this just any variety show? This is a show with An An. I must go!]
Sun Meng: ……He should have expected this.
Sun Meng: [Some people also asked if you would consider doing same-sex films. If you’re interested, they’re willing to have you and Lin An Lan star together.]
Cheng Yu: !!!
Cheng Yu declined: [That’s not necessary. ‘Yun Yun’ is good enough for me. Having a film like that satisfies me already.]
