Chapter Eighty-four
Now that Yan Li had left, Su Yuyang and Ling Miao started their life together.
The days passed peacefully. Every day, they word sprinted and cleared video game dungeons. Occasionally, Su Yuyang would check his fan group or listen to Ling Miao chat to his fans on a YY channel.
Most people didn’t know about Su Yuyang’s relationship with Ling Miao, but several of the fan group moderators knew that Ling Miao was the person their Great Author loved.
One afternoon, Su Yuyang was writing when his thought process was broken by maniacal laughter from the living room. The laughter stopped and Su Yuyang heard Ling Miao say: “Interview Shu Yang? And I have to do it? Tofu, why are you doing this? If I bring this up to him, I’ll have to sleep in the hallway tonight!”
Several seconds later Ling Miao said, “No, no.” Hearing Ling Miao’s resolute attitude, Tofu said wistfully, “In that case, I won’t force you. But you really won’t even just try?”
An exclusive interview with Shu Yang? Sounds good! New provocative text appeared in the public channel. Tofu looked at it and said, “Excuse me, Xiao Yu From Su’s House, please shrink your font size. If you don’t, I will have to invite you to leave.”
“Xiao Yu from Su’s House?” Ling Miao stared at the ID.The name struck a chord in his heart. As the chat box refreshed quickly, Ling Miao had to scroll a little before he saw Xiao Yu from Su’s House’s message: An exclusive interview with Shu Yang? Sounds good!
He agreed? Ling Miao looked at the screen thoughtfully. He internally fought with himself then glanced at Su Yuyang’s door.
Su Yuyang and Ling Miao wrote separately. But today, Ling Miao didn’t feel like writing and Tofu had something to talk to him about, so he’d gone on YY. He couldn’t figure out Su Yuyang’s intentions. He sighed and told Tofu, “Tofu, something came up and I have to go for a while.”
“You’ll go ask the Great Shu about the interview?” Tofu asked excitedly.
Ling Miao said, “Mm,” and conveniently poured cold water on Tofu: “Don’t get your hopes up.”
“Xiao Miao… no, Mrs. Shu… pfeh, that’s worse.” Tofu wondered what to call Ling Miao. Ling Miao, hearing the two forms of address, said helplessly, “You’ve called me Xiao Miao for so long, why change it now? It’s like you want to make sure everyone knows my relationship with Shu Yang.”
“After today, everyone knows anyway, right?” Tofu said happily.
“Tofu, are you digging a hole for me to jump in?” Ling Miao laughed. “I’ll go find Shu Yang. Wait for my news.”
Ling Miao had just finished speaking when Su Yuyang heard a knock at the door.
“Come in.”
Ling Miao pushed the door open, but stopped in the doorway. He asked, as if publicly denouncing Su Yuyang for a crime, “Xiao Yu from Su’s House, that was you, wasn’t it?”
“So obvious?” Su Yuyang said in frustration. “Ah, I’ll go make a different name that’s harder to recognize.”
“Forget it,” Ling Miao said coldly, “I know your name is Su Yuyang so I could tell that Xiao Yu from Su’s House was you. Tofu and the others don’t know.”
Seeing that Ling Miao was upset, Su Yuyang cajoled, “Xiao Miao, you’re upset?”
“Not upset.” Ling Miao looked at Su Yuyang and sighed. “I just think that you hiding in plain sight among us is kind of deceptive and playing with our feelings.”
Su Yuyang got up and walked to Ling Miao’s side. Ling Miao looked at him and said, “Sit down. You’re too tall and it puts pressure on me.”
Su Yuyang ignored Ling Miao’s dissatisfaction. He mused, “That exclusive interview Tofu was talking about… I think it’s not a bad idea. And since we don’t intend to keep hiding ourselves, I don’t need to keep dodging it, either. It’s just an interview. I’ll treat it as repayment for the fans’ support all these years.”
“You have a plan?” Ling Miao looked at Su Yuyang hopefully.
