Chapter 110: Husband’s pov
Originally, when Gu Siye released his album, the happiest people were the Jingye Shi.
However, as soon as this MV dropped, the Siran fans felt like it was New Year’s Day.
It was common knowledge that although Gu Siye released few albums, he absolutely never did sweet love songs.
But in this album, the style of the song “Love” happened to be a romantic love song brimming with the atmosphere of falling in love.
Furthermore, it was also common knowledge that the protagonists of Gu Siye’s MVs were either himself or no one at all.
Yet in this album, the protagonist of the song “Love” just so happened to be Lin Yanran.
And to top it off, this MV was Gu Siye’s directorial debut!
These pieces of information kept flashing inside the heads of Siran fans.
On their lips: It’s all just a coincidence! When it was filmed, Yanran had just signed with Siyu, and Teacher Gu let him be the lead just because he’s a good person helping out his junior~
In their hearts: Waaaaah, I’m dying from the sweetness!! This is practically an official announcement!! I know the scent of dog food when I smell it!!! Give us more of these little couple’s games, more, more!!!
Suddenly having a song to listen to, an MV to watch, and a CP to ship, the fans, blessed with this triple happiness, were simply over the moon.
Soon, the pinned video in the Siran CP Super Topic was updated once again with the latest teaching material.
This time, the pinned post was the MV for “Love”~
The caption was simple and direct: Come and eat dog food!!!
Under this pinned post, CP fans responded one after another.
[The song “Love” looks so good; I won’t allow any Siran girl in this world to miss it!!]
[Even though Teacher Gu isn’t in the frame, I’m already shipping them like crazy. Who understands me?]
[Family, let’s just say, Yanran is the protagonist of Teacher Gu’s only love song MV, you get it, right!!]
[More than that, Teacher Gu also gave his first time to Yanran, right? Ah, why is my mind becoming so dirty?]
[Although it was Teacher Gu’s first time, his wife was absolutely stunning! @SiranDuAi, new material is here!! Come and edit!!!]
[@SiranDuAi, Boss, come quickly! The shot of Yanran in the deep V-neck lying on the bed is simply perfection. Can I look forward to some high-tech smoky content? Starry-eyed~]
Less than an hour after the MV’s release, the Weibo account “SiranDuAi” had been tagged over a thousand times.
An hour later, SiranDuAi posted a Weibo.
SiranDuAi: Already fainted from the sweetness. Sisters, wait for me!
Seeing this Weibo, the CP fans got even more excited!
Gu Siye was already the ceiling of celebrity traffic.
Usually, even the slightest movement would draw immense attention. Now that a major event such as an album release happened, naturally, even more people were watching.
Consequently, not long after the album dropped, the Weibo Hot Search list was practically monopolized by him.
The hashtags were almost all about his album, the songs, music reviews, and sales figures.
Everything one could imagine was there.
Aside from those, among the many hashtags, there was one particularly eye-catching one: #GuSiyeYanranLove#.
Many passersby clicked on this hot search in shock and joy.
However, after realizing what was going on, the top comments were filled with disappointment.
[Good grief, so it’s the song “Love,” not that they are in a “love” relationship…]
[I didn’t look closely and thought Gu Siye and Lin Yanran had announced their relationship.]
[Read it as “they are in love” +1. It turned out it wasn’t. Happy for nothing. Feeling-wronged.jpg]
Upon learning that Gu Siye and Lin Yanran weren’t actually in love, the netizens were even more disappointed than the Siran CP fans.
Under the overwhelming discussion, the heat surrounding Gu Siye’s album climbed higher and higher.
He had many fans and an excellent reputation with the general public.
Because the musical quality was high, those buying the album included not just fans but the broader public.
After discussing various news, the public eventually returned to the album itself and began voting for their favorite songs.
To everyone’s surprise, the first song to explode in the mass market after the release wasn’t the title track, “Summer,” but the little love song he had never attempted before: “Love.”
New style + New attempt + Siran collaboration + Explosive MV visuals.
Once released, this song went viral in almost every circle.
So, beyond Weibo and the fan circles, the comment section for “Love” on music platforms was also filled with listeners discussing Siran.
[Yanran was filmed so beautifully in this MV. Is this what they call the “Husband’s Pov”?]
Amidst a sea of regretful praises, this one received the most likes and became number one.
Specifically, that phrase “Husband’s Pov” seemed to hit some kind of affectionate point for netizens. The likes grew rapidly, and the replies reached over a thousand in an instant.
[Wow sisters, Yanran’s collarbone is so white, and his skin is so radiant.]
[Drooling, drooling, drooling, I can definitely call Yanran ‘wife.’]
[Upstairs, your pants have flown off; wipe your drool.]
[That shot of Yanran in the deep V lying on the bed—the bed looks so soft and perfect for pinning down his hands, hehehe… Teacher Gu really knows how to film.]
[But that shot was gone in a flash! Since it’s the husband’s pov, Gu Siye, why are you being so restrained? Be bolder! The tempting chest, the sexy collarbones, the snowy-white waist dimples, the slender ankles… what is there that we, the paying listeners, can’t see!!]
[Of course he can’t show it to you; that’s his wife!]
When the Siran fans saw these comments, they were dazed, their faces turning red with embarrassment.
How were these random netizens even better at shipping than the actual CP fans?!
Gu Siye’s fans barged in, intending to clear the comments and praise their idol, but seeing how enthusiastically the public was discussing it, they eventually backed off silently.
Although the discussions were getting a bit out of hand, the fans agreed on one thing: Yanran, through Gu Siye’s lens, was truly beautiful.
In the deep-V white suit, he was a stunning, alluring beauty.
In the light-colored sweater, he was a sweet, adorable, and obedient little wife.
No one could refuse such a beauty, especially one that was both pure and sensual!
After Gu Siye and Lin Yanran’s first, second, and now third collaboration, the fans had actually long since grown used to them working together.
Moreover, they felt something vague in their hearts.
After all, their idol hadn’t logged into Weibo for ages, but lately, he had been doing so quite diligently.
But his latest activities were either liking Lin Yanran’s posts or clarifying things for him. In short, everything revolved around Lin Yanran.
Especially not long ago, during a chaotic situation when no one else stood up for Lin Yanran, Gu Siye directly @Bai Tianyu to clarify for him.
That move was simply incredibly too cool, brimming with boyfriend power.
Moreover, anyone with a brain knew that the recording was clearly made by their idol from his end alone.
So the fact was, right after Lin Yanran finished his live stream, the two of them were on the phone, and they talked for quite a long time.
Aside from what was done on Weibo, one needn’t even mention how their idol went on variety shows with him and stepped in to save the day during filming.
There was another key point: with the release of this MV, those marketing accounts, who run faster than dogs for the sake of their KPIs, immediately reposted all sorts of comments regarding the Siran CP.
Yet, their idol’s team, which usually couldn’t tolerate even a speck of a scandal, actually made no move this time. They didn’t come out to debunk the rumors or shut down the CP, letting everyone ship them to their hearts’ content…
Therefore, after all types of analysis, the solo fans accepted this hypothesis even more calmly than imagined.
[Hey, I was just saying, our brother’s not getting any younger. He’s been a top idol for seven or eight years without any scandals to upset us. Now that he’s 28, nearly 30, it’s actually quite nice if he dates.]
[Who wouldn’t love such a stunningly beautiful person who is both cute and cool, pure and alluring, with impeccable character, hardworking and gentle, and with a tragic past?]
[Can I say it directly? Anyway, our brother is going to marry someone someday. If the sister-in-law is this one, I’m totally okay with it, wuwuwu]
[You don’t say. Siran really is a good match.]
While Gu Siye’s fans were tacitly accepting that the two were dating, Lin Yanran’s solo fans were also quietly discussing it at the same time.
[Um, sisters, the Jingye Shi sisters next door are already recognizing our family as the “sister-in-law.”]
[Damn it, with our baby’s potential and explosive growth, in a few years when he succeeds in his career, he should be the “husband,” right?]
[That’s right!!! Husband!!! Our Ranran isn’t a mere accessory!!]
[Sister, don’t get excited!! I think… when they say ‘sister-in-law,’ they probably, maybe, should be referring to… the position.]
[The position, huh… Oh, then it’s fine.]
The Siran fans, who were lurking among the solo fans on both sides and silently peeping at their screens: “…”
Why were they, the CP fans, being so cautious and timid, while the solo fans on both sides are so adept at forcing each other to agree?
The third day after the album release was Gu Siye’s birthday.
The Jingye Shi fandom was usually very low-key, but every year on Gu Siye’s birthday, they would hold some group activities.
Plus, with the album as a birthday benefit this year, sales had exceeded three million on the first day. The tens of millions in revenue directly put him at the top of the annual charts, entering the ranks of Hall of Fame epic records.
For such an important anniversary, the fans naturally wanted to give Gu Siye a grand support event.
So, when Lin Yanran looked out the window, he could see birthday support ads for Gu Siye almost every few minutes.
His earphones were playing Gu Siye’s album.
Listening to the man’s soft singing and looking at the intense love from the fans outside the window, Lin Yanran suddenly realized that he had never expressed his own love to him very directly.
The car stopped. Lin Yanran came to pick up a piece of calligraphy he had sent to be framed a week ago.
Then he went to a pre-booked cake shop and, under the teacher’s guidance, personally made a cake for Gu Siye.
When Gu Siye finished his work, Zhong Xiao ran up to him with a mysterious look on his face.
“You have to go home early today.”
Gu Siye raised an eyebrow slightly but didn’t speak.
Zhong Xiao continued to tell him the information he had scouted out, “Huixue’s side said that Yanran took the whole day off today; he’s not even working on the album.”
After saying that, he chuckled, “Then I asked Yingying, and she said Yanran didn’t go home today.”
Just as Zhong Xiao finished speaking, Gu Siye received a message from Lin Yanran.
light: Teacher Gu, are you done with work?
Gu Siye put away his phone, hooked his lips into a smile, glanced at Zhong Xiao, and finally spoke as he turned to leave, “I indeed have to go home early. Today is my birthday.”
Zhong Xiao watched Gu Siye’s back and shook his head, clicking his tongue.
Look at that smug and joyful little expression.
In this whole world, who doesn’t know it’s your birthday!
Even though Gu Siye said that, in the past, he didn’t actually have any major feelings toward birthdays and wasn’t keen on celebrating them.
But this year, there was a very important person waiting for him at home.
So today, for him, became something extraordinary.
When Gu Siye arrived home, Lin Yanran was busy in the kitchen.
The other man was wearing a simple white T-shirt with a blue apron tied around his waist.
Gu Siye’s gaze swept over the apron several times, and for some reason, certain thoughts that shouldn’t be there entered his mind.
“Teacher Gu.”
Lin Yanran turned around and saw the man behind him.
A faint smile appeared on his face. “Just wait ten more minutes for me.”
Having been single for so many years, Gu Siye had rarely experienced the feeling of someone waiting for him at home.
Lin Yanran’s single smile and one sentence made this feeling of “home” even more apparent.
Gu Siye inexplicably felt his heart turn soft like a puddle.
“Okay.”
Gu Siye went back to his room to take a shower and change his clothes.
By the time he came out, Lin Yanran had already set out all the dishes.
The two of them had dinner together and then went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Then, Lin Yanran brought out the cake and lit the candles for Gu Siye.
“Happy Birthday, Teacher Gu~”
Gu Siye glanced at the words on the cake and found them somewhat familiar.
“You made the cake?”
Lin Yanran nodded. “Is it barely acceptable?”
Gu Siye’s gaze landed on his eyes. “It’s not barely; it’s excellent.”
After blowing out the candles, the two of them shared some of the cake.
Ultraman also ran over to join the fun, resulting in a face full of cake.
Seeing Ultraman’s face covered in painting, Lin Yanran and Gu Siye quickly went to give it a bath.
As a result, Ultraman splashed water all over Lin Yanran during the bath, so he had to take a shower himself as well.
By the time all this was finished, an hour had passed.
By now, the sky outside the window was completely dark.
Lin Yanran saw that it was past nine o’clock and quickly brought out the birthday gift he had prepared for Gu Siye.
The gift he gave Gu Siye was once again a piece of calligraphy with the words: “The mountains have trees, the trees have branches, my heart rejoices in you, yet you do not know.”
“Although I wrote the exact same thing for you once before, I wanted to replace it.”
Lin Yanran explained to Gu Siye as he handed him the gift.
“When I wrote it back then, I didn’t fully understand your feelings, so I wasn’t really satisfied with what I wrote.”
Gu Siye said softly, “I didn’t think it was unsatisfactory.”
Lin Yanran shook his head. “I mean, it wasn’t to my satisfaction.”
After saying that, his finger traced over the four characters for “heart rejoice in you,” his gaze serious.
“So when I wrote it this time, it carried some personal emotions.”
Gu Siye’s peach blossom eyes were slightly raised, filled with a smile. He asked Lin Yanran, “What emotions?”
Lin Yanran looked up, his eyes meeting Gu Siye’s.
“Of course…”
“I love you.”
Hearing Lin Yanran say “I love you,” Gu Siye’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down.
He wrapped one arm around Lin Yanran’s waist, pressed him against the wall, and whispered an inquiry in his ear.
“Can you stay tonight?”
