Chapter 143: Still Need to Take Care of My Reputation

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“Oh my god! Is this actually Xie Minyu?! It’s Jupiter’s Xie Minyu!!!”

Luo Xiuen’s reaction was filled with excitement. She pulled Cheng Yi backward and put him into a chokehold.

“Cheng Yi! Hurry up and look! It’s Xie Minyu!!”

“Sister En, you should ask him for an autograph… That’s what someone typically does when they see their idol…” Cheng Yi said with a strained voice. It was difficult for him to breathe, let alone speak!

Instead of choking him, asking for an autograph was the usual course of action

“Oh right! I want an autograph! I want a picture together as well!”

Once Luo Xiuen realized what was happening, she reached for her pocket. However, there was no pen and paper in her pocket.

If she couldn’t get an autograph, she would get a picture together. Luo Xiuen took her phone out in a hurry.

When Jian Yumin saw that Luo Xiuen wanted to take a picture with him, he dived into Jian Yiling’s bed. He pulled the blankets up and buried himself under it.

It was okay to lose fans. However, he still had a reputation to keep!

He was an idol for goodness sakes!

Jian Yiling looked down to see the big ball in front of her.

She reached down to the blanket and made sure that it covered him completely.

Cheng Yi stroked his nose before he said, “Sister En, you successfully managed to scare away your idol.”

At first, Luo Xiuen was in shock. After a while, she realized that something was strange. She turned around and asked:

“Yiling, do you know Xie Minyu?”

“Yeah,” Jian Yiling replied.

At that moment, the voice of Jian Yumin came out from under the blanket:

“I’m her cousin.”

Although his voice was quite muffled because of the blanket, it still sounded quite beautiful.

Xie MInyu was Jian Yiling’s cousin?

“Wait… No way. Your surname is Xie. Whilst her surname is Jian!” Luo Xiuen’s eyes lingered on the big ball under the blanket for a moment before her eyes went back to Jian Yiling.

“That’s my stage name!”

Jian Yumin retorted from under the blanket.

It wasn’t uncommon for idols to use stage names. In fact, it was more common for them to use stage names and not their real names.

“Oh right, idols often use stage names. Wait, so you’re actually our darling’s cousin?”

Her brain couldn’t process the fact that Xie Minyu was Jian Yiling’s cousin.

This fact made Luo Xiuen both surprised and excited. Typically, she would be swift and decisive with her responses. However this time, she reacted quite a few beats later.

“What do you mean your darling? She’s our darling!”

Was it appropriate to say that Jian Yiling was their darling in front of her family? Absolutely not!

Cheng Yi coughed twice to break the tension in the atmosphere. “Ahem, Sister En, why don’t we go out and let Yiling’s cousin freshen himself up?”

He was an idol after all. They shouldn’t be staring at him when he was in such a state. Ever since the morning, he hadn’t yet had the time to wash his face and brush his teeth.

Fans should act like fans.

They shouldn’t be sasaeng fans.

Luo Xiuen got dragged out of the room by Cheng Yi. Before she left, she chucked another look at Jian Yiling’s bedsheets. However, she couldn’t see anyone through the blankets.

When the door was finally closed, Jian Yumin peeked out from the blankets.

Jian Yumin gave Jian Yiling a soft smile before he climbed out of the bed. He went to the bathroom to freshen himself up.

After Luo Xiuen left the room, she remained in her bubble of excitement. She was so happy that she met her idol!

“Cheng Yi, I saw Xie Minyu! The real person!”

“Sister En, I don’t know what virtues Jupiter has done in their past lives. I’m surprised that they have captured the entirety of your feminine heart.”

Luo Xiuen didn’t have much of a feminine heart. Despite that, Jupiter had captured its entirety.

“Cheng Yi, is your skin itching? Are you waiting to get smacked?”

“No, no, no. I’m not. I swear I didn’t have that intention. I’m just happy for you!”

Cheng Yi changed his remark instantly.

“Um… Dr. Cheng and Dr. Luo. Are you guys free now?”

Hong Baizhang, who was nearby, had suddenly spoken up. He intervened in their conversation.

Earlier, he hadn’t left. Instead, he had been waiting for them in front of the room.
