28 Chapter 27 – Spicy Crispy Skin Fish 5 (2/2)

...

Gu Sheng felt her face was hot enough to fry an egg on it. Under Toupai's attentive gaze, she obediently put on her jacket and backpack. And then… she glanced at him. Not seeing any further objections, she finally opened the door and stepped out of the car. It seemed the person in the car intended to watch her cross the road before he would leave.

Gu Sheng instantly felt as if she was at least five years younger, like she was sixteen or seventeen years old. She nearly did not know how to work her hands and feet.

Luckily, oh luckily, her road crossing went smoothly, and she entered the grocery store.

Cousin was standing behind the checkout counter helping someone who was paying. After handing the change back to the customer, he looked her over with a serious eye. ”Just celebrated Valentine's Day? Didn't you say you weren't coming home this week? How come you're back?”

...

How was she supposed to know? …

Her plan had been to go back to school, but then Toupai said he was going to drop her off at the grocery store so she obediently came back here with him. T.T

Today could be considered a big holiday, and there was an especially large number of customers in the store. Cousin did not have any spare time to poke fun at her anymore. Gu Sheng wandered alone to the cooler and pulled out a can of cola. With a crack, she pulled open the tab on the can and took a drink. Still dissatisfied, she swigged down another few mouthfuls.

Girlfriend…

Boyfriend…

She and Toupai?

How in the world did they turn into boyfriend-girlfriend?…

Really?

No way?

She downed a few more mouthfuls of cola. Suddenly, she felt a pair of eyes on her.

She tilted her head to the side and saw Dong Yiru standing beside her, eyes bright and unblinking as they stared at her…

”What's up? … Do you want to ask for a day off? Or…” Gu Sheng felt as if her hairs were standing on end, and goosebumps were popping up because of her gaze.

Dong Yiru continued to look fixedly at her. ”Sheng Sheng Man? Sheng Sheng Man!”

Her mouthful of cola nearly came spewing out. Choking on it, she covered her mouth and started coughing furiously. Dong Yiru immediately took the can of cola from her but still continued to stare at her like she was a space alien. Gu Sheng was coughing so hard her eyes were watering. Finally managing to catch her breath, with red eyes, she lifted her head, wanting to ask if she had heard wrong. But then, she heard the girl in front of her carry on to say, ”How did I not hear it? Ever since I found out you and my idol were dating, I honestly listened to all of the recordings of your voice taken from various birthday celebrations and singing events. How did I not recognize that you were the same person? This is so amazing. So amazing!”

Dong Yiru was so excited she was near incoherent.

Gu Sheng felt she would soon not be able to keep herself together…

”I'm not…”

”You definitely are!”

”I'm honestly not…”

”I can't be wrong. I'm positive it's you. Absolutely certain it's you! It's completely identical.”

”...”

Dong Yiru promised in a firm tone, ”Don't worry. I won't tell anyone at all!”

Admitting utter defeat, Gu Sheng asked, ”How did you know I'm… Sheng Sheng Man?”

She honestly just wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it…

”Because fate was on my side.” Dong Yiru pulled out her mobile phone from her pocket. In an extremely furtive manner, she showed her a Weibo tweet. ”Mo Bai just posted something, and then several dadas instantly re-tweeted it. And then, right after, Mo Bai deleted his post…. Deleted within seconds, aaah! But I still managed to see it!”

The tweet she was showing Gu Sheng was from Mo Bai's Weibo.

Sure enough, it had been deleted already. But before he removed the post, Mo Bai had first re-posted and written: My bad. I'll delete. =.=

Gu Sheng had a very, very bad feeling.

Ever since she discovered that Gu Sheng was Sheng Sheng Man, Dong Yiru suddenly had a sense of pride stemming from ”my idol's wife and I are bosom sisters” and was a hundred times friendlier to her. ”Sheng Sheng, you can put your mind at ease. I will not tell anyone who you are. I swear! It will be kept a secret! Oh god, you don't know how excited I got when I first recognized that it was you!” Dong Yiru could not help placing her hand on her chest. ”I know Toupai's golden master. I'm so emotional right now I could cry…”

”What did he post?”

Gu Sheng felt she was about to cry too T.T...

”It was a photo taken of your backs. He originally did not say anything about the photo, but once deadpan face Mu re-tweeted it, everyone understood what it was.”

...

...

Dong Yiru completely failed to notice Gu Sheng's frozen expression. She pulled up Mu Mu's Weibo page, and in front of the post that he had re-tweeted that now said, ”The original Weibo post has been deleted,” he had added a single sentence: Hey, isn't that Toupai and his wife?
