My Mr. Mermaid

Untitled Part 70

Chapter 70 by ryuxenji

The two "couple's bracelets" drove the fans into a frenzy. The passion of the shippers which had been smothered just a while ago by Qi Rui-Feng's Weibo post rose again — all kinds of discussion topics, such as 'blossoming seme-uke' and 'BaiRui party to the top' and 'BaiRui UST', were everywhere. Chen Si-Qi even specially called Yun Duo to keep an eye on her boyfriend.

Yun Duo: =.=

And then, Chen Si-Qi added, "You see how many people calling Tang Yi-Bai 'hubby' at his Weibo? You never know how many of those are actually men. These days, homosexuals are even more aggressive than heterosexuals. You better believe it."

"I believe it..." Watching the exhilarated frenzy of the netizens gave one the feeling that heterosexuals were the minority group.

Yun Duo felt that Chen Si-Qi was a true friend. It was really not easy for a gossip columnist to whom 'gossip means everything' to ignore her own interests to stand beside Yun Duo. This fool had very little moral integrity, so she had probably used it all up here...

Subsequently, Yun Duo shared Chen Si-Qi's theory with Tang Yi-Bai, and Tang Yi-Bai suddenly found it a little difficult to look straight at his Weibo. He was even more reluctant to continue browsing his Weibo.

However, Coach Wu gave him a firm mission: He needed to update his Weibo once every two weeks, and the post needed to have pictures. Of course, the contents of the images cannot be pictures of cats and dogs or mountains and rivers — he must be in the picture! He! Himself!

The source of this mission was not Coach Wu but the team management. Due to the growing commercial value of Tang Yi-Bai, in order to maintain his popularity, the team wanted Tang Yi-Bai to keep up appropriate exposure on social media. After all, doing so would not affect training.

Tang Yi-Bai could only hold back his own personal opinions. Still, there would always be countermeasures against set policies — he took many photos in one go and slowly released them. Whenever he needed to update Weibo, he would then grab one from his store of surplus photos.

And so he saved a lot of effort this way.

The comments beneath his recent Weibo post was roughly as follows:

A: Hubby, you've updated! I finally waited till you updated!

B: A photo is a photo, but why are you wearing clothes?

C: Husband, do you only have one set of clothes? I've seen you wear this one so many times.

D: I'm just waiting to see when you're going to be done with this set of photos. [Bye bye]

E: Hubby, our baby is already 4 months old. When are you going to come collect him?

...

Right now, Tang Yi-Bai no longer wanted to be on Weibo, but this was a mission he needed to do. So what should he do?

It's alright, this brother has a girlfriend.

So he asked Yun Duo to help him update his Weibo. When Yun Duo heard his request, she was a little troubled. "That's not proper, right?" Even though they were a couple, they should respect each other's boundaries.

"Nothing wrong about it. If you feel guilty about it, you can lend me your Weibo in return."

"No."

However, Tang Yi-Bai felt that his suggestion was great. "You don't even have as many fans as the zeroes behind the number of fans I do. It's no loss for you. Besides, I'm your boyfriend. What's there that I cannot see?"
