The exact same congratulatory message even down to the punctuation was copied and pasted again and again. Riding on someone else’s happiness? More like showing off their love for the world to see! That dog of a man, Fu Yuqian, was definitely up to something!
[“They’re absolutely a perfect match, husband and husband — I knew Fu-dog couldn’t hold back any longer! You’ve got the guts to post congratulations, then have the guts to make it official!”]
[“Please, fyq, be human for once. Can’t you fall for someone else? Our ge hasn’t said anything yet, stop playing all these tricks every day.”]
[“awsl awsl, ahhhh I’m screaming like a groundhog! Pisces couple supremacy 15551! I swear we’re really gonna get that official marriage announcement!”]
Fu Yuqian’s comment section exploded with over ten thousand replies. But most of them were supportive after all, same-sex marriage was now legal in the country. Everyone was just waiting to see when Fu Yuqian would win over Song Yu and officially announce their relationship.
Yu-fans couldn’t resist messaging Song Yu privately, telling him not to agree to Fu Yuqian’s pursuit too quickly. Not because they didn’t want him to date, but because they didn’t want Fu Yuqian to succeed too easily.
Poor Song Yu, he was so young and already experiencing what it was like to have a whole crowd of “mothers-in-law” worrying about his love life.
After scrolling through the comments, Song Yu felt a bit guilty. Not only had he already agreed to Fu Yuqian’s pursuit, he had also been completely devoured, body and soul. But really, with someone like Fu Yuqian, who could resist? It wasn’t his fault his self-control wasn’t strong enough.
At the same time, some of the “lead fans” also sent him heartfelt DMs, earnestly reminding him not to make their husband wait too long saying Fu Yuqian had given so much for him, and that he’d regret it forever if he let such a man go. Their sincere words were almost touching enough to make anyone cry.
Song Yu was on the verge of a mental breakdown from reading all those messages.
When Fu Yuqian saw the online comments, he nearly blacked out. He immediately called Song Yu.
As soon as Song Yu picked up, he heard Fu Yuqian’s voice full of mock resentment:
“Baby, you won’t even turn 22 until next year…”
“Right,” Song Yu said, holding back a laugh. “Why? You got something in mind?”
“I sure do.” Fu Yuqian’s voice was even more magnetic through the phone. “I want to take you home early, get our marriage certificate, and be together for life. But now, I have to wait another year. Your fans are already calling me an old cow eating young grass.”
Fu Yuqian was indeed five years older than Song Yu.
Song Yu couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Don’t take it to heart, they don’t mean any harm.”
“I know,” Fu Yuqian chuckled. “After all, I stole their husband being scolded is the least I deserve. Anyway, I’ll spend this year proving just how much I love you.”
Song Yu’s face reddened. Fu Yuqian sounded so sincere when he said such things, it was a shame they weren’t face to face.
Worried that the senior whose post they commented on might be affected by all the commotion, Song Yu even sent him a WeChat apology, along with another congratulatory message. The senior was gracious and kind, not blaming them at all, even teasing them a bit. In the end, he sent Song Yu two digital wedding invitations, one for him and one for Fu Yuqian.
Song Yu treasured the invitations and promised they’d attend.
The wave of attention around Fu Yuqian’s comment soon died down. Song Yu made no public response and continued working as usual. But this silence made some of Fu Yuqian’s fans unhappy. They thought Fu Yuqian had already shown his feelings so openly, yet Song Yu still acted distant wasn’t that too cold? After all, in terms of family background, looks, and ability, Fu Yuqian was on par with Song Yu, if not better. He was loyal, devoted, scandal-free, and had helped Song Yu through many difficulties so why shouldn’t Song Yu respond?
Even though major fan leaders tried to calm things down, some younger and more impulsive fans started picking fights under Song Yu’s posts. When Yu-fans saw this, they were naturally furious.
“Why does your idol liking Song Yu mean our Song Yu has to be grateful and accept him? What kind of moral blackmail is that?”
A small-scale fan war broke out.
Fu Yuqian, afraid Song Yu would feel upset, logged into his main account and posted a Weibo:
Fu Yuqian V: “Thanks for worrying about my lifelong happiness. But if you scare him off and it backfires, I’ll be single forever. Is that what you all want for me to stay alone for life?”
He attached a photo of his cat, Yiyi, lying on its belly with wide, sparkling eyes looking at the camera. The caption read:
“I, Fu Yiyi, refuse to be a single cat.”
Fu Yuqian’s Weibo style had always been minimalist if he could repost, he would never make an original post; and even when he did, he’d never write more than five words. Later, when he began posting pictures of Yiyi, he became a mild “pet blogger,” softening his image a little. But lately, he’d gone back to his usual cold self, which fans had been grumbling about for a while. Now, with this sudden funny and emotional post, they were both amused and deeply moved — they could really feel his love.
Pisces-fans couldn’t help but shed tears over this beautiful hidden love story. Their CP was real, the Pisces couple was real at least, the big fish was real! Now, only the little fish needed to be confirmed!
Yin Lang, who managed Fu Yuqian’s main fanbase, reached out to explain Fu Yuqian’s intentions.
If this had been the old Fu Yuqian, his Weibo would have been much harsher, he would’ve bluntly said that fans had no right to interfere in his personal life. It would’ve hurt feelings, yes, but that was his personality. The fact that he handled it so gently this time was thanks to Song Yu’s influence.
So, the question was did fans want a cold, untouchable idol, or one who was warm enough to care about their feelings? Besides, given Fu Yuqian’s background, he could walk away anytime to inherit the family business. When that happened, who would they cry to?
Yin Lang then went to comfort Yu-fans too, saying:
“Fu Yuqian’s crush on Song Yu is already obvious. We absolutely can’t start a war with the other fandom. What if Song Yu feels sorry for the other side, notices Fu Yuqian because of that, and things develop between them?”
The Yu-fans thought about it and realized that actually made sense.
Maybe those “KY” fans were doing it on purpose!
Damn, they’d almost fallen into a trap! The world was getting darker by the day — the same fans who called each other “sis” in peace were still out for their own idols when it really mattered.
After both sides were appeased, Fu Yuqian’s first step in going public could be considered a success.
When he did all this, it was more of a strategic guide after all, it was impossible for everyone to think the same way as him. He truly hadn’t known about the KY fans’ behavior beforehand, and in order not to hurt his fans’ feelings, this was the best way he could handle it.
Song Yu, of course, wasn’t some naive little bunny who knew nothing. They were clearly already together, yet Fu Yuqian kept insisting he was still “pursuing” him, obviously to protect Song Yu from fan backlash. This thoughtfulness and tenderness made Song Yu fall for him all over again. Fu Yuqian really was the most considerate person he had ever met.
When they finally had a rare break and spent time together, Song Yu couldn’t help asking, “Don’t you feel wronged doing all this?” After all, he was a man too. Since he’d agreed to be with Fu Yuqian, he should take responsibility for their relationship as well.
Fu Yuqian just smiled and said, “Xiao Yu, you agreeing to be with me is already the greatest blessing of my life. So don’t feel sorry for me, I’m more than happy, do you understand? Of course, if you really want to pity me… then give me another chance to prove myself. I promise it won’t take that long this time, okay?”
Song Yu hesitated for a moment, then half-reluctantly, half-shyly agreed.
And once again, he fell right into Fu Yuqian’s trap.
This time, though, Fu Yuqian was truly gentle. The foreplay alone lasted forty minutes, teasing him relentlessly without giving him full release. Song Yu couldn’t stand it anymore, wrapping his arms around Fu Yuqian and gasping, “Stop fooling around — hurry up!”
Fu Yuqian chuckled against his lips. “As you wish, my baby,” he whispered and obeyed.
Their bodies fit together perfectly, as if made for each other. Song Yu felt a bliss so intense it made him forget all resistance and since Fu Yuqian didn’t make it drag on too long, his discomfort toward intimacy gradually faded.
Fu Yuqian was deeply infatuated with him, kissing every inch of his skin as though in worship. Song Yu, embarrassed, covered his face but still, he couldn’t hide how much he was enjoying it.
Meanwhile, Fu Yuqian’s new album was going smoothly. It included nine songs: five love ballads, three upbeat tracks, and one special duet he planned to perform with Song Yu on stage. The song’s title was Gemini. He had originally wanted to call it Pisces, but believed that his Pisces-fan girls would recognize the hidden connection.
The album required not only recording but also shooting music videos, so it wouldn’t be released until the second half of the year. Fu Yuqian’s schedule was packed on top of that, he was preparing for his upcoming concert.
He had scheduled two concerts in May. When the online ticketing system opened, thirty thousand tickets sold out in under half an hour. That’s what it meant to be top-tier, there wasn’t even a need for presales.
Fans could already tell that Fu Yuqian wouldn’t stay in the music industry for long; his focus had clearly shifted to acting.
And then, the concert’s official account dropped a teaser: Fu Yuqian would be inviting a special guest performer.
Fans began speculating wildly. Some bold ones even guessed Song Yu. They complained, Hasn’t Fu Yuqian managed to win him over yet? What’s taking him so long? If not for fear of being labeled KY fans, some of them said they’d personally step in to help him chase Song Yu already.
So lately, the comments under Fu Yuqian’s posts were filled with all kinds of “tips” for wooing a man, some even joked that he should just strip naked, tie a bow around himself, and deliver himself to Song Yu’s bed.
Meanwhile, Song Yu’s fans (Yu-fans) stayed on high alert, guarding their idol’s honor like watchdogs. But since they were so far removed from his actual private life, there was little they could do every day they just worried that Fu Yuqian might be secretly advancing his “mission.”
No matter how much fans badgered the official account, though, it refused to reveal who the guest was driving everyone mad with curiosity.
Despite being so busy, Fu Yuqian still called or texted Song Yu every day. Whenever he found something interesting, he bought it for him to keep at home, so Song Yu would see it when he came back. He even sent him two tickets to a rose garden abroad, planning for them to visit the sea of roses together at the end of May once work settled down.
Surrounded by Fu Yuqian’s meticulous care, Song Yu’s heart softened completely. He finally gathered his courage and made a decision.
Fu Yuqian, however, was completely unaware.
Soon enough, the first concert kicked off on the 21st. Yu-fans arrived at the stadium early fan support groups had prepared glowing wristbands and banners, all handed out for free at the entrance. The LED signs were dazzling, each one brighter and prettier than the next when the lights dimmed, the entire arena shimmered.
Once the Lead-fans (Fu Yuqian’s fanbase) were seated, they began recognizing and greeting each other but quickly noticed a few suspicious faces who didn’t seem to know much about Fu Yuqian. After a little probing, they discovered those were actually Yu-fans.
Surrounded by Lead-fans, the Yu-fans quickly hid their lightboards behind their backs and nervously said, “W-well… what if the special guest really is Song Yu?”
At that, the Lead-fans snorted.
“No way. Look at that dog-man Fu Yuqian — all flashy on the outside, but when it comes to chasing someone, he’s hopeless. If he can actually get Song Yu as a guest, I’ll walk upside down right here.”
“Wow, are Lead-fans all like this now?” The Yu-fans were stunned, why were they calling him “dog-man” so casually?
“Tch, he made us this way,” one Lead-fan sighed, waving her hand wearily. Her expression screamed “I’ve been through it all.” “He used to be so cold to us — tortured us fans for years. Then, just when he finally started showing warmth, it turned out to be all because of your idol. We’ve never been in his eyes, not once. Damn it, we’re still out here making him lightboards like fools. Should’ve let his tickets rot unsold.”
The Yu-fans were even more convinced, their Ge must be an absolute angel!
Still, the atmosphere between the two fan groups wasn’t hostile, they even got along decently. But the moment the concert began and Fu Yuqian appeared on stage, the Lead-fans immediately dropped their “cool sister” act, waving their glowsticks and screaming louder than anyone.
Under the stage lights, Fu Yuqian’s mixed-race features looked even more striking handsome and deeply sculpted. His dark brown eyes seemed to hook directly into people’s souls. When he opened his mouth, that magnetic voice filled the entire arena, triggering a storm of screams from his Qian-girls.
His dance moves were crisp and powerful, hitting every beat perfectly, he was born to be the center of attention. Every flick of his wrist, every turn of his body drew all eyes to him, and occasionally, under the lighting, the tight lines of his abs could be glimpsed beneath his shirt.
Fans of Yu could clearly see that the moment Fu Yuqian revealed a glimpse of his abs, the girls beside them screamed so loudly their voices cracked.
Sexy, emotional, energetic Fu Yuqian mastered every mood effortlessly. He was a born king of the stage; the moment he stepped on it, everyone else faded into the background.
His stamina was unbelievable. After performing eight songs in a row, he was only slightly out of breath. Sitting on a high stool with a microphone in hand, he said, “I’ve mentioned during my livestreams that I’ll be shifting my focus to acting. Concerts might only happen once a year, or even once every two years. Thank you for your constant support. Someone once told me I don’t spoil you enough, so… I want to apologize.”
The Lead fans shouted Song Yu’s name loudly from the crowd.
Fu Yuqian smiled gently, full of affection. “Yes, it was Song Yu who said that. He told me that during his hardest times, it was the fans’ companionship that brought him warmth, and that’s why he loves his fans. I cherish your love for me, and I want to become a better version of myself for your sake. I hope you’ll also come to love me as an actor because that’s where my heart truly lies.”
Some fans, easily moved to tears, were already crying. When did this dog of a man learn to talk so sweetly? If he used those words to coax Song Yu, they’d probably already be married by now. Oh wait—Song Yu wasn’t even of legal age yet, hehe.
“Of course, I’ll still release singles and hold small fan meetings from time to time so we can stay in touch, alright?” Fu Yuqian added.
The audience shouted in unison, “Alright!”
Looking at the sea of glowing name signs and banners, Fu Yuqian’s smile grew even more dazzling. “Thank you. I’m truly honored to have you.”
“The next song, Gemini, will be performed with my guest partner — it’s my fan appreciation stage. I promise you the best performance tonight.” After speaking, Fu Yuqian left the stage to change outfits.
When the stage lights dimmed and rose again, the audience gasped. Fu Yuqian had changed into a black stage costume, with dark feathered wings projected behind him. He knelt on one knee, gazing upward.
“Ahhhh! He’s so freaking handsome! How can anyone be this hot?!”
Following Fu Yuqian’s gaze, the lights brightened and up above hung a man dressed in white, with glowing white wings projected behind him. It was Song Yu!
It was really Song Yu — Song Yu himself!
Some Yu fans quickly raised their red light signs. Though fewer in number, they shone brightly. The Lead fans also snapped back to their senses, the stage effect was absolutely explosive, the visual effects insane!
Suspended by the wires, Song Yu slowly descended to stand beside Fu Yuqian. One in black, one in white angel and demon representing the duality of Gemini’s good and evil sides. Standing together, they looked breathtakingly perfect, like a living painting.
Their dance that followed was a feast for the eyes. The two moved in flawless harmony, every move full of tension and allure. With lights flashing and energy blazing, their synchronization hit like a tenfold impact. The fans screamed nonstop from the very first beat, they didn’t even catch the lyrics. When the ending pose came, with the two embracing passionately, every throat in the venue was hoarse from shouting.
No one knew who started it, but soon a voice croaked out, “Be together!” Then the chant spread throughout the entire stadium — “Be together! Be together!”
As Fu Yuqian hugged Song Yu, he snuck in a quick kiss, just out of camera view thrillingly secretive.
When they separated and stood side by side, Song Yu smiled sweetly and greeted, “Good evening, Qian Qian’s girls… Oh? My fans are here too! Did you guess I’d show up?”
Hundreds of Yu fans shouted, “Yes!”
“That’s great. Looks like I’ve got some backup on this stage.”
The fans burst out laughing. Fu Yuqian shook his head helplessly. “Do you think we’d bully you?”
“That’s not certain — you’re full of tricks,” Song Yu teased, his beautiful eyes gleaming. His soft tone was so irresistible it made people want to take him home.
The Lead fans shouted, “Dog man!”
Song Yu couldn’t hold back a laugh, covering his mouth as he giggled nonstop. Fu Yuqian pretended to be angry. “You all itching for trouble, huh? Undermining me like this?”
The crowd roared with laughter.
Then Song Yu suddenly turned serious, gripping the microphone firmly. “He’s not a dog man. He’s taken. He’s my boyfriend.”
The entire venue went dead silent for half a second then erupted into chaos. Even Fu Yuqian himself was stunned.
