Chapter 17 - Abandoned Hospital (1) (1/2)

Is that Ji Yun Xiao? Looks so alike……..That definitely is Ji Yun Xiao himself!!

Although it was quite dark, Cheng Zhi Chu had often seen Ji Yun Xiao through the screens so he could recognise him in one glance. The handsome young man standing in front of him is indeed Ji Yun Xiao himself.

Cheng Zhi Chu was shocked. He couldn’t believe that a super popular idol like him would also be involved with Infinite Escape. His first reaction to this was to think that his sister and the fans would be extremely upset if he was to die.

Then, he noticed that Ji Yun Xiao’s gaze was fixated at his clothes and he even looked a little embarrassed. Only then did Cheng Zhi Chu react and realise that he was still wearing the T-shirt printed with Ji Yun Xiao’s face on it and he was even holding his doll in his arms. In an instant his face went red and he hurriedly hid the doll behind him.

Fuck. This is really too embarrassing. How can he meet Ji Yun Xiao in such a situation……..He was actually wearing the other partys’ fan club shirt and holding onto his doll while tackling this escape game…………What is he going to be treated like now?!

His expression couldn’t help but become very stiff.

Ji Yun Xiao’s fanbase is extremely large. It wasn’t surprising that most of it would be made up by young girls or young women. Along with his kind temperament which greatly contrasts with his onstage persona, and his appearance as a top student in one of the most popular tv series, he also naturally became popular amongst the elders.

But there was one type of fan that is very rarely found in his fanbase and that is: young male fans.

For some reason, Ji Yun Xiao didn’t have many young male fans. The occasional ones that would appear would immediately be interrogated by the female fans and even have their sexuality questioned.

——– That’s right. Of the extremely rare young man fans of Ji Yun Xiao’s, quite a few of them are gay. Someone straight like him was extremely rare……….Wait. He’s actually not a fan of Ji Yun Xiao’s. If he was mistaken to be his fan, then he would be troubled.

Cheng Zhi Chu cautiously glanced at Bai Yi and was surprised to see that Bai Yi’s originally kind and gentle look had once again changed. His eyes were several degrees colder as he glanced through the corner of his eyes at Ji Yun Xiao

Oh no. It looks like a steel straight man like Bai Yi really doesn’t like Ji Yun Xiao at all. And because of his clothes, Bai Yi would have definitely misunderstood him for being Ji Yun Xiao’s fan and possibly even mistakenly think that he is a gay.

Cheng Zhi Chu started to sweat. He already had a pretty bad record so if he is misunderstood again……When a lie is repeated many times, it will eventually become the truth. This would be the same for misunderstandings. By that time, it would be too late for any explanations!

He opened his mouth and was about to explain when he was suddenly interrupted with high pitched screams. In an instant he was surprised, and he looked towards the source of the sound with wide eyes.

The leaves in the forest swayed and two beautiful and sweet looking girls rushed out. They ran and stumbled over before Ji Yun Xiao with their faces flushed with excitement. As if they would immediately faint on the spot, their eyes were wet with tears and they asked in a trembling voice.

“Xiao Xiao? Are you Xiao Xiao? Are you really Xiao Xiao himself?!”

Ji Yun Xiao appeared to be a little intimidated by them. After taking a small step back, he slowly nodded his head and said gently: “Yes…..I’m Ji Yun Xiao. Hello.”

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! My god! We really saw Ji Yun Xiao in person! It really is him!!”

The twin girls covered their faces and once again screamed. They had completely forgotten about where they are now and just jumped around excitedly and chattered while circling around Ji Yun Xiao.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cheng Zhi Chu quickly stored the doll into his bag’s storage space. If it wasn’t because he didn’t have a change of clothes, he would have also taken the shirt off too.

“Are you also his fan?”

Bai Yi asked as he walked over to him and his eyes swept over the shirt.

“No. I’m really not Ji Yun Xiao’s fan. This is all a misunderstanding.”

Cheng Zhi Chu quickly shook his head. He quickly explained that his sister had forced him to wear this to take photos just before he was sent into the instance. But to avoid being overheard by Ji Yun Xiao and that pair of sisters and making things awkward, he tiptoed and quietly whispered into Bai Yi’s ears.

The warm breath blew onto Bai Yi’s ears and reached his skin. Cheng Zhi Chu’s faint body scent also travelled over, and his soft hair tickled against Bai Yi’s neck. Such an intimate act made Bai Yi stall slightly. He then looked down at his thin neck and pale clavicle, and his eyes immediately darkened.

“……..So I’m really not like that towards Ji Yun Xiao…….”

Cheng Zhi Chu was afraid that Bai Yi would misunderstand and spent a long time explaining when he noticed that the handsome man was just standing there unmoving and staring at his body with dark eyes.

“Bai…….Yi?”

For some reason, Cheng Zhi Chu suddenly felt a little cold. He couldn’t help but shrink back and call out in a small voice.

At this moment, Bai Yi seemingly came back to his senses. His beautiful dark eyes moved slightly, before moving up. He smiled softly at Cheng Zhi Chu and asked: “What’s wrong?”

Cheng Zhi Chu opened and closed his mouth. He felt that Bai Yi is acting a little strange but he also seemed to be acting normal……….Anyway, there was just a strange feeling that he couldn’t put his finger on.

“No………..” He scratched his head, “What I just said earlier, did you hear it?”

“I heard. I know you’re not his fan.”

Bai Yi smiled and reached out to ruffle Cheng Zhi Chu’s hair. Pretending to be nonchalant, his fingers gently brushed against his earlobe and cheek before quickly moving away.

“Don’t worry, I didn’t misunderstand anything. Also, it’s your own choice which celebrities you like. Even if you really like him, it’s………..” He paused for a moment before smiling again, “It’s okay.”

As expected, Bai Yi is still as gentle and considerate as ever. This made Cheng Zhi Chu feel extremely moved. Just as he wanted to say a few more serious words to emphasise how straight he is, he suddenly saw something happening on Ji Yun Xiao’s end through the corner of his eyes.

A strong man dressed in a black suit walked over and separated Ji Yun Xiao from the two sisters. With a serious look he said something to the sisters, and they started to argue back. Ji Yun Xiao stood behind the man with a helpless expression. He looked like he wanted to stop them arguing but he couldn’t find the chance to interject.

“Our boss doesn’t have the heart to reject fan’s requests but please restrain yourselves. If you touch him excessively, it can be considered sexual harassment. Also, don’t forget where you are right now. It is very dangerous here so please get rid of that playful attitude.”

“………”

Being stared at by those oppressive eyes, the two girls pouted unhappily and snorted quietly. Then they looked at Ji Yun Xiao behind him with eyes filled with expectations: “Xiao Xiao, can we become your friend through the forum? Or you can give us your contact……”
