After Our Divorce, I Still Wore Your Jacket

Chapter 15

One sentence from Fang Shaoyi had completely melted Yuan Ye’s heart.

You’re too gentle, Yi ge.

Yuan Ye was the type of person who didn’t care about anything when he felt a certain way. Right then and there, he reached for his phone and sent a WeChat message to Fang Shaoyi. He said: Yi ge.

A few minutes passed before Fang Shaoyi finally replied to him: What’s wrong?

Yuan Ye chuckled on his end of the phone, then sent: Thank you for this destiny.

This time, Fang Shaoyi responded very quickly, but his response was only one word: Un.

In the interview, both Yuan Ye and Fang Shaoyi said that they had pursued the other first. Both of their fans commented under the show’s official Weibo account: “Director, please confirm which one of them lied for us! Thank you!”

—“My guess is Uncle Ye pursued Fang Shaoyi first! Uncle Ye is obviously someone who hits straight balls! Aaah Uncle Ye was only 17 at the time, only a wee thing! Just thinking about it makes me want to explode!!”

—“I actually think it might be Film Emperor who pursued him first! Film Emperor doesn’t seem like the type of person to lie about these things (just a random guess)”

—“Either way, I don’t care who pursued who first, I just feel that this CP is too fucking sweet 1551”

The above screenshot was sent to Yuan Ye by Ji Xiaotao. Looking at it made Yuan Ye laugh quite a bit. These days, Ji Xiaotao often sent Yuan Ye screenshots when he had spare time. While Fang Shaoyi filmed, he would come looking to chat with Yuan Ye. Sometimes, Yuan Ye would get annoyed and ask him: Don’t you have anything to do?

Ji Xiaotao: Ye ge! I’ve received money from the fans! Which one of you guys pursued the other!

Yuan Ye laughed and sent him a voice message: “Git.”

Ji Xiaotao refused to give up: Ye ge! They gave me a million! Which one of you guys pursued the other!

Yuan Ye didn’t want to respond to him. He only said: Go ask Fang Shaoyi.

Ji Xiaotao showed no signs of backing up as he sent sticker after sticker: He’s filming so doesn’t have time to bother with me. Actually, even when he’s not filming he ignores me too.

Yuan Ye: Are you not straight anymore? How come you’re so wishy washy now.

Ji Xiaotao: Ye ge I love you.

Yuan Ye locked his phone and stopped replying.

Ji Xiaotao had worked with Fang Shaoyi for several years. In the beginning, he had only been a little fan. Because of a stroke of luck, he became Fang Shaoyi’s assistant. After all these years, he had remained hardworking and diligent. Now, he could also handle most situations by himself. However, he wasn’t someone who had big dreams. He simply wanted to keep being Fang Shaoyi’s assistant.

Several times, Geng Jinwei had expressed interest in wanting to get him back to the company to help teach the newbies. Ji Xiaotao had cried and whined, refusing to go. In the end, Fang Shaoyi had said, “If he wants to stay with me, let him. We’ll talk about it when he wants to leave. I’m used to having Xiaotao around too.”

Fang Shaoyi was actually the type that needed a long time to feel familiar with someone. It took forever for him to accept anyone new into his life. Ji Xiaotao had taken care of him for so many years. Fang Shaoyi had long since gotten used to him.

Ji Xiaoto stopped for only a few minutes. In the time that it took for Fang Shaoyi to take a quick break then head out to film the next scene, he started bothering Yuan Ye again: Ye ge, which one of you pursued the other!

Yuan Ye couldn’t tolerate his messages anymore. He muted the chat and threw his phone off to the side.

At the time, Jian Xu had been filming a campus drama. In it, he had the role of a campus grass. This drama had actually invited Fang Shaoyi too, but Fang Shaoyi didn’t act in TV dramas, so didn’t accept their offer. Jian Xu had originally debuted through filming TV dramas. The two of them weren’t following the same career path. At the time, Jian Xu’s expression had been annoyed. He furrowed his brows and said, “I really don’t fucking want to go back to set. Each time I go back I feel so uncomfortable. I even want to throw up when I eat.”

Jian Xu said, “There’s an assistant director there who told me previously——”

“Stop,” Fang Shaoyi interrupted. He glanced at Yuan Ye and said, “He’s still young. Don’t go around saying any and everything.”

Jian Xu bit back the words he was about to say and looked over at Yuan Ye too. He smiled. “I really did forget that there’s still an underage kid here.”

Their conversation made Yuan Ye unhappy. He rolled his eyes and asked Fang Shaoyi, “Who’s young? I’m only a year lower than you guys. You’re fourth years, but I’m already a third year too.”

Fang Shaoyi nodded and made a noise of acknowledgment.

He was just like this. He would respond calmly to anything you said, but actually, he hadn’t changed his mind at all. Yuan Ye questioned Jian Xu, “The assistant director wants to subject you to the unspoken rules?”

Fang Shaoyi furrowed his brows and glared at Yuan Ye. “Is this the kind of stuff you should be asking about?”

Yuan Ye pouted and said, “What’s wrong with asking?”

Jian Xu didn’t think of Yuan Ye as a young child either. Besides, even at age seventeen, they had already understood everything they needed to. They were all boys; Yuan Ye wasn’t a girl, so what was there to worry about? Jian Xu shared with an expression of disgust, “He wants to subject me? He should take a good look at himself. To do that, he would need to be able to subject me. Fucker wanted me to subject him!”

Yuan Ye didn’t bother being polite at all. He cackled for the longest time, then said, “You guys have it pretty hard too.”

Jian Xu said, “There are all types of monsters in this industry. When I was twelve, someone had already begged me to——”

“Stop, stop.” Fang Shaoyi called him to a halt once again. Jian Xu swallowed the other half of the word on the tip of his tongue. Fang Shaoyi furrowed his brows. “Stop talking.”

He looked like he was being serious. Jian Xu also felt that sharing this stuff with a kid outside of the industry was a bit inappropriate. Thus, he didn’t continue speaking. Yuan Ye looked back and forth between Jian Xu and Fang Shaoyi. Fang Shaoyi looked at him too. He said, “Eat.”

Yuan Ye nodded. “Okay, Yi ge.”

Actually, even though Jian Xu hadn’t finished speaking, Yuan Ye could guess what he had been about to say. Hearing this truly made him a bit nauseous.

After returning to his dorm room that day, Yuan Ye sent Fang Shaoyi a text message. He asked: Yi ge, is it always like that when you guys go film?

Fang Shaoyi replied very quickly: Not always. It also depends on what the film crew is like. Stop thinking about this stuff.

The old-fashioned keypad phones only had tiny screens. Recently, Yuan Ye often texted Fang Shaoyi, wanting to chat with him. Any topic was fine, as long as they could have a conversation.

Yuan Ye said: Have you encountered it before?

It took Fang Shaoyi a moment to respond: It’s already ten. You’re still not sleeping?

Yuan Ye: I’m not sleepy.

Fang Shaoyi: I’m sleepy. My phone’s out of batteries.

Yuan Ye worried at his lips with his canines. Fang Shaoyi simply didn’t want to answer this question, so was switching the topic. Yuan Ye sent again: Doesn’t matter if you’re sleepy. I want to know the answer. Yi ge, have you encountered it before?

Fang Shaoyi probably couldn’t do anything else about him. In the end, he still responded: It doesn’t matter if I’ve encountered it before or not. I won’t do such things. Also, no one can force me to do anything.

Yuan Ye: Because your dad’s Fang Han?

Fang Shaoyi: Yes.

Fang Shaoyi: Now are you sleepy?

Yuan Ye pondered a bit, then inquired again: What if the other was a beautiful girl? And both of you were willing?

Fang Shaoyi: What are you actually trying to ask?

Yuan Ye had originally been used to hitting straight balls. Hinting at the topic all this time had been pretty tiring too. After enough pretense, he finally asked straightforwardly: Are you still a virgin?

Though Fang Shaoyi was used to Yuan Ye’s occasional random responses, he was probably truly shocked by this one. For a long time, he didn’t reply. Yuan Ye’s eyebrows were furrowed so tightly that they became one line: You......aren’t?

Fang Shaoyi still didn’t respond.

Yuan Ye sat up in bed. He sat there, click-clacking at his keyboard. His texts didn’t stop.

—You aren’t?

—Aren’t you?

—Are you not?

—Are you or not?

—Why have you stopped replying to me?

Fang Shaoyi remained silent. In the end, Yuan Ye stopped sending messages too. He flipped off the bed and landed on the ground. His roommate was scared out of his wits by this. He asked, “You fell off?”

Yuan Ye said, “No, I jumped off. It’s fine, go back to bed.”

Yuan Ye slept in shorts and a t-shirt, all clothes that could be worn outside. Thus, he only pulled on shoes and ran out.

With his personality, he couldn’t keep anything in. He had to do what he wanted to. Normally, if Fang Shaoyi didn’t respond to his texts, Yuan Ye would simply go to sleep. But today, Yuan Ye felt extremely angry for some reason that Fang Shaoyi wasn’t messaging back. Thinking about the fact that Fang Shaoyi had already slept with someone else also made him feel uncomfortable. The thoughts in his mind swirled like a maelstrom. He couldn’t sit still at all.

Nine thirty at night. Fang Shaoyi was still lounging in his chair, reading. The urgent knocking at his door surprised him.

Fang Shaoyi walked over and opened the door. Yuan Ye had taken a taxi to the front gate before running into the school. He had charged straight to Fang Shaoyi’s dorm. Right now, he was still panting. There were two little balls of fire in Yuan Ye’s eyes. He glared at Fang Shaoyi, an expression of determined anger on his face. Fang Shaoyi was very surprised. He asked, “What’s wrong? What happened?”

Yuan Ye stared straight into his eyes and asked, “How come you stopped replying to my texts?”

Fang Shaoyi blinked. “My phone ran out of batteries. Didn’t I tell you? What’s wrong?”

Yuan Ye’s lips were pressed tightly together. He still looked pretty angry. Fang Shaoyi didn’t know what was wrong with him. He reached out and tugged the other in by the arm, then closed the door. After he closed the door, he finally asked softly, “What’s wrong, you?”

Yuan Ye never hid his feelings. He always said how he felt. “I’m angry.”

“Angry about what?” Fang Shaoyi asked.

Yuan Ye looked away. “You didn’t reply to me.”

Fang Shaoyi burst into laughter. He couldn’t help himself from rubbing Yuan Ye’s head, holding it down and patting the back of it. “This angry because I didn’t reply to your messages?”

Yuan Ye caught the hand on his head and kept it there. His eyes were glued onto Fang Shaoyi as he inquired, “You’re not a virgin anymore? You slept with someone before?”

Fang Shaoyi furrowed his brows. “What random stuff are you spewing?”

His phone had run out of batteries after he had sent that last message. Fang Shaoyi walked over and turned on his phone, standing there to wait for the unreceived messages to send. A while later, his phone started beeping endlessly. He lowered his head and read them all, then looked over at Yuan Ye. After reading all the messages, he didn’t know what kind of expression he should have. In the end, he only smiled in exasperation and waved his phone at Yuan Ye. “Look, I really ran out of batteries.”

Even without him saying, Yuan Ye had already realized too. He stood there like a stubborn little bull, resolutely asking Fang Shaoyi, “So have you slept with someone before or not?”

“No.” Fang Shaoy didn’t even hesitate at all. He repeated his answer again, “No. Come here.”

The cause of Yuan Ye’s anger had been removed. There was nothing for him to be angry about anymore. Fang Shaoyi told him to come, so he did. After he walked over, Fang Shaoyi asked him in return, “What if I said......I had?”

Yuan Ye didn’t look up. He wobbled his lowered head a bit and said, “You just said you haven’t.”

Fang Shaoyi asked him, “You believe it just because I said it?”

Yuan Ye nodded his head very confidently. “Yes. I believe anything you say.”

Fang Shaoyi laughed and gently lifted an arm to tug his ear. He even seemed a bit exasperated. “Look at the time. You ran all the way here from your dorm just because of that? Are you planning on running back now?”

Yuan Ye rubbed his nose, then looked up at the other. After, he used both hands to hold onto the railing by the bed and hopped up. He flipped over the railing and onto the bed. From above, he sat there, legs dangling, and looked down at Fang Shaoyi. His shameless smile appeared once again. “I’m not running anymore. Tonight, I’m sleeping in your bed. You sleep in your roommate’s bed.”

Fang Shaoyi looked at the little depression that appeared on his eyelid when he smiled and nodded.

At that time, Fang Shaoyi thought in his heart, forget a bed. I’ll give you anything you want.
