Chapter Eighty-five
Su Yuyang said in a frustrated tone, “Hey, Xiao Miao, my reputation’s ruined forever.”
Ling Miao rolled his eyes at Su Yuyang and said dismissively, “You have a reputation?”
Su Yuyang was about to retort when a cry reached his ear: “Great Shu, do you have to PDA? Won’t you spare a thought for us single people?”
“And people like me who’ve just broken up.”
Su Yuyang gave an awkward cough. “Er, you all carry on. I’ll go write.”
Su Yuyang fled and Ling Miao sighed, “You scared him off. Let’s continue discussing.”
“Haven’t we finished discussing?” Tofu asked in confusion.
Ling Miao said slyly, “I just thought of something new. We planned to interview him over text, but now I think we should do it over voice. What do you think?”
Tofu and the others immediately understood—Ling Miao was digging a hole for Su Yuyang to jump in! Given Su Yuyang’s attitude toward Ling Miao, he’d definitely jump right in, so there was no reason for Tofu and the others to disagree. Soon, the new interview plan emerged. Ling Miao stared at his laptop in a good mood. Su Yuyang, Su Yuyang, prepare to take that! Ha ha ha ha!
Ling Miao made posts on his microblog and on the web novel discussion forum soliciting interview questions. Someone replied to the thread with doubt, to which Ling Miao replied: Shu Yang is my boyfriend. He paused, then added: Whether you believe that is up to you, but remember to tune in to the interview on YY @#¥%.
“Fuck!” After replying to all the comments on the thread, Ling Miao tossed his mouse aside in a fit of anger. He said in frustration, “Hey, Su Yuyang, why don’t they believe I got you to give an interview?”
“I’ve never done an interview with the web novel site, and I’ve rejected countless fan interview invitations. Now you suddenly say I agreed to your interview. Think about it. It’s not that likely,” Su Yuyang analyzed. “I’d better clarify in my endnotes.”
As Su Yuyang finished, he opened his dashboard and added a note about having accepted the interview.
Very soon after, someone posted a screenshot of the chapter content to the novel discussion forum. Only now did everyone believe that Shu Yang, who had thus far maintained his secrecy, was about to show himself before his audience. As for the person claiming to be Shu Yang’s boyfriend, some people were still suspicious, but most believed he was who he claimed to be. For the next few days, Ling Miao didn’t dare log into his forum account—the volume of private messages would make him pee his pants.
Su Yuyang and Ling Miao’s days were still filled with bickering, but Su Yuyang was very content.
After a week of collecting questions and a day organizing them, Tofu handed the list of fan questions to Ling Miao, who glanced over them and didn’t find any glaring issues. Su Yuyang surreptitiously circled around behind Ling Miao and glanced at the laptop screen, then moved close to Ling Miao’s face and asked in his ear, “Xiao Miao, you sure you want to ask me this question?”
