PUBG Online Romance of the Century

Chapter 110 - Extra CP (Zuo Zhen x Lu Xiuhe)-Permit-pass.

Edited by Noks

Lu Xiuhe somehow muddled through the rest of the meetup, and by the end of it, his back was covered in a layer of sweat. Only after confirming that even the taillights of the car picking up the group was out of sight did he look away.

The lightboard had Zuo Zhen’s signature, and only after looking at it did he realise why Zuo Zhen had taken such a long time to write on it. It turned out that there was another sentence on it.

Thank you for your love. ——Zuo Zhen.

Because of this lightboard, the little girls were all boiling over with excitement. When Lu Xiuhe returned to his senses, he saw that the girl who had originally stuffed the lightboard into his hands was now standing in front of him, her eyes full of expectation.

Lu Xiuhe realized what was going on and quickly gave her the lightboard. “This… Thank you for the lightboard.”

“Ah.” The girl was shocked and asked, “You’re giving it to me?”

Lu Xiuhe replied, “It was yours in the first place ah.”

“I actually thought…” The girl hurriedly took it into her hands and with an extremely moved expression on her face, said, “Lulu! Thank you!”

“No problem.” Lu Xiuhe waved his hand.

After seeing the idols off to their car, the event was over. Just as he was getting ready to say something, several fans came up to him and opened their mouths, wanting to buy Zuo Zhen’s signature pen from him. And the starting price was 10,000 yuan.

Looking at this group of junior high school little Meimei, Lu Xiuhe couldn’t help but sigh internally. Little children nowadays were really fucking rich. Back when he was in junior high, if his parents gave him 50 yuan for a day, he even thought that he had hit the jackpot.

10,000 yuan, he could buy that pair of shoes that he had been eyeing for several weeks with it.

Anyway, he wasn’t a real fan in the first place. For him, this was almost like a windfall ah.

Lu Xiuhe thought a few hundred different ways of how to spend this 10,000 yuan, but what ultimately came out of his mouth was, “Sorry ah, this… I’m not selling it.”

Since he was the organizer of this meetup, he naturally had to deliver the fans safely to their cars. Only when the last fan got into their car did Lu Xiuhe randomly hail a taxi to go home.

The car window was open, and the incoming wind blew his hair around. After sitting for a long time, Lu Xiuhe finally couldn’t help but take out the pen from his pocket.

It was a simple black signature pen. If there was anything really special about it, maybe it was that this pen had spent a little time in Zuo Zhen’s pocket.

That was the main reason the value of the pen started at 10,000 yuan and would keep climbing.

No, had he just lost his head at the airport just now? Why hadn’t he sold it for even 10,000??

Lu Xiuhe said to himself internally—it must have been because he had been frightened by Zuo Zhen’s sexy moves, and not for any other wild reasons.

If he got another chance, he would definitely——

His cellphone sounded.

[Lulu, would you sell that signature pen for 20,000 yuan? I have been chasing Zhenzhen for many years, and I really want this pen very very much! Begggggggggging you la QQAQQ, I will remember you for the rest of my life!]

“….”

He would definitely…

[Zuo Family Army_Your Great Lord Lu: Sorry ah, not selling. Soooorrrrryyyyyyyy la QQQAQQQ]

After sending this message, Lu Xiuhe put the signature pen back in his pocket and quickly deleted the inner monologue he had been uttering just now from his memory.

After closing the chat box, he found that he had been inundated with @s from the support group. The news of Zuo Zhen giving only him a signature pen had spread across the fan circles in just ten short minutes, and every single little girl in the group was more excited than he was.

[@ Lulu, can I please ask, what did Zhenzhen smell like?! Could you fill an empty bottle with that smell and mail it to me?]

[@ Lulu, can I touch that pen??]

[@ Lulu, what’s it like to shake hands with Zhenzhen? What exactly was the temperature of his hand?]

When this was mentioned, Lu Xiuhe actually really did think of something.

Zuo Zhen’s palm had been very hot. It had been much warmer than his own, although he didn’t know if that was just his own delusion.

[Wasn’t any smell. You can touch it, come to my house to find me? Don’t know the temperature, but anyway, it was hot.]

Because it was in the groupchat, Lu Xiuhe didn’t have any qualms when talking. Whenever someone asked to buy the pen from him, he would reply in such a way that made his feelings towards Zuo Zhen seem unsurpassable in the entire world. He said that he would sleep while hugging the pen tonight and would eventually pass the pen onto his grandson, reminding him to take good care of it. In any case, his replies were as exaggerated as they could be.

Because he said it like that, those girls who were rejected wouldn’t feel envy and jealousy. This kind of thing, that could cause a lot of controversy in other circles, was turned into a beautiful thing with just a few words from Lu Xiuhe.

So, in the afternoon, when Lu Xiuhe was scrolling through Weibo and ran into his own trending topic, he couldn’t even react to it when he first read it.

#Diehard loyal male fan loves Zuo Zhen’s signature pen#

He was too lazy to read the chunk of text in that post, but the post also had a picture attached, which was of the moment when Zuo Zhen had held his left hand, and it looked like he was signing an autograph for him.

Under the post, all the sisters whom he had met in the group had all liked the post and had rushed up to grab the front row seats on this trending topic——

[Congratulations to Lulu for getting his beloved signature pen!]

[I didn’t expect that one day I would be happy because someone else got my idol’s signature pen. Maybe it’s actually true love from me to Lulu ba.]

[Letting everyone see what a die-hard male fan truly is like [picture]]

Lu Xiuhe clicked open the picture and nearly passed out.

This group of people had actually posted up his chat record from the groupchat!

Those outrageous words he had weaved for half an hour had actually all been compiled into a picture, without even a single word missing. It had even become a trending topic on Weibo!!

Although his username had been blurred out, his dumb emoticon profile picture was still there. If Zuo Zhen saw this picture, there was an 80% chance he’d be recognized.

What was the difference between this and public punishment?!

Lu Xiuhe suddenly felt a little like he was about to have a heart attack.

He opened QQ and was about to ask which little sister had posted up his chat record when he discovered that the groupchat was already discussing the next fan support event.

Just for tonight, Pz would be holding a small meet-and-greet at a small gymnasium.

Because this was a previously unplanned event, the on-site tickets weren’t being sold through normal channels. The big fan in the group had to go to work and speak with the Pz management before finally managing to get a small number of tickets.

The meet-and-greet wasn’t the same as the airport meetup, where you had much less time just in terms of getting to interact with your idol. What’s more, the meet-and-greet was in the evening, a time by which everyone had gotten off work, so the number of people who were signing up for the meet-and-greet directly exploded. It was said that the big fan had already received so many private messages that she couldn’t reply to all of them.

Lu Xiuhe paused in his action of typing. He thought, forget it, he wouldn’t skew everyone’s topic of conversation to something else. He was about to turn off QQ when the chat interface suddenly stopped scrolling.

[Zuo Family Army_ Shishi has banned all talk.]

[Sorry, everyone. I didn’t reply just now because of an emergency. Let me explain it to you all now.]

[ Zhen Zhen will not attend tonight’s event for some reason. I know that everyone cares about the reason, but the management on that side is being very tight-lipped about it, and I couldn’t get anything out of them. Tickets are still available. If you’re interested, you can ask me for them via private messages.]

Would not attend?

His entire being had already arrived in Manyang, so why was he, all of a sudden, not attending the event?

Not only was Lu Xiuhe confused, but the other fans also exploded.

[It’s too sudden ba?! Not telling us why, do they want to kill us?]

[Peerless is a garbage company, every day throwing my Zhenzhen into a pit!]

[I would like to ask, if Zhenzhen isn’t there, who is the C position tonight? 80% chance it’s Lin Jia ba? Is this the doing of the company on purpose ah, seeing that Zhenzhen is about to fly solo, so they’re hurrying to lift Lin Jia up?]

Lu Xiuhe just gripped his cellphone in that manner and read the comments for an entire afternoon. Everyone talked and talked, but even after a long time passed, they couldn’t come to any conclusions. Zuo Zhen’s and Peerless Company’s Weibos were silent, making it seem as if nothing had happened, not even a ripple in the waters. No matter what question fans asked in the comments below, they received no response.

“What are you doing there, sitting and not eating while gripping your cellphone?” Father Lu couldn’t stand it anymore and criticized him.

Lu Xiuhe could only shamefacedly set down his cellphone.

“Come out with me tonight, and we’ll go to your uncle’s house for a bit.” Father Lu said, “Your cousin has gotten into a good university. They’re discussing throwing him a college drinking party over there, and they want me to come over to give some ideas.”

Lu Xiuhe said, “I can’t go. I need to go find Xiao Yan tonight. Some stuff happened to him, so I’m going to keep him company.”

“What happened to him?”

“Some garbage stuff, anyway it’s all troublesome. I’ll go keep him company and talk to him to prevent his mood from becoming too chaotic.”

“Alright ba.” Father Lu didn’t ask anymore.

But who would have known that in the evening, a message would explode in the Zuo Zhen support fan group.

[I’ve gotten some insider information!! Zhen Zhen seems to have been attacked by an illegitimate fan! It happened only an hour before the announcement this afternoon! Because it involves fans and internal staff who divulged the whereabouts of the members, the company couldn’t explain it easily!!]

Illegitimate fans could be said to be the insects of the fan circle. The term was used to refer to fans who violated the private life of stars. Their behavior was exceptionally extreme, and in order to satisfy the love they harboured for their idols, they tracked, secretly took pictures of, and even harassed their idols.

Stars being attacked by illegitimate fans had already happened many times by now, and some of those incidents had been of a vile nature, which led normal fans to feel disgusted, nervous, and scared as soon as they heard the word “illegitimate.”

[Shit, this group of illegitimate fans this year while celebrating the New Year should just gtfo and die!! Then Zhenzhen wasn’t injured ba?]

[My God, if it was just about sneaking pictures and following the car, they wouldn’t directly stop the trip ba? I previously heard that there was an illegitimate fan who broke into an idol’s house to take photos and steal things!!]

[That still counts as okay. I heard that there are also those illegitimate fans who forcefully try to kiss and molest people. For fear of affecting the reputation of those idols, the company sealed everyone’s mouths, and only because they did that did no news about it get released.]

Lu Xiuhe read this, and his heart became extremely agitated, his heartbeat going completely wild.

Zuo Zhen, such a big man, shouldn’t have been forcefully kissed or molested….or whatever ba?

But if everything was really okay, then how come he wasn’t even going to the activity?

And many of those illegitimate fans gathered and went up in groups of two or three. He may be able to resist one person, but what if there had been too many people?

Lu Xiuhe blindly thought such thoughts while searching for the dirty deeds of illegitimate fans on his cellphone. The more he searched, the more horrified he felt, right up to when he saw the story of some star who had been sexually harassed to the point that he developed mental problems and finally couldn’t help but miserably retire.

He dug out the phone number that he had gotten a call from a few nights ago, took a deep breath, and made a phone call.

The phone rang for a long time on that side. It kept ringing for so long that Lu Xiuhe thought his call wouldn’t go through, but then he heard a click, and his call was picked up.

It was very quiet over there, with no sound coming through at all.

Lu Xiuhe had originally thought up of several excuses to use—such as having dialed the wrong number, or having pressed the wrong key, etc., but when the call was actually picked up, he just asked, “Hello, Zuo Zhen? You’re fine ba?”

Zuo Zhen remained silent for a while, as if he was confirming something.

After a long time, he finally said, “Not fine.”

His voice was already very deep, having a very standard bass tone. Right now, it sounded even lower, which was frightening. His voice was also very hoarse, sounding as though he had been crying.

By this point, Lu Xiuhe had already imagined the entire scenario of Zuo Zhen having been ravaged. Hearing this tone in his voice, he grew frantic and blurted out, “Don’t cry ah, isn’t it just having been kissed and touched? It wouldn’t have even taken off a layer of skin! Does the company not even care? Otherwise, let’s call the police ba!”

Zuo Zhen, who was lying in bed with a splitting headache, was too lazy to try and figure out what this person was talking about.

“You don’t even care about me.” He asked, “How could the company care about me?”

I’m not the boss of your company, so how is me not caring about you related to your company?!

Lu Xiuhe felt puzzled, but was also afraid of hurting Zuo Zhen’s heart by saying that sentence. Instead, he said, “I care about you ah. Tch, how do I not care about you…”

He scratched his head and didn’t know what would be the best way to continue talking. Just when he was about to ask Zuo Zhen if he needed to call the police, he heard a beep, and realized that the other party had hung up on him again.

Shit, was this person addicted to hanging up his calls?!

Lu Xiuhe had originally been frantic, but now, he was a little angry too. He was just going to call him back when his cellphone vibrated strongly, and a text message appeared on the screen—

[138xxxxxxx: Manyang Purple Sage, Hotel Room 2101.]

“……”

What was the meaning of this?

He couldn’t go. He had already made plans with Xiao Yan. What’s more, he didn’t know what the situation there was like. If he just rashly went over to his door in this manner, wouldn’t that be troublesome for him?

Besides, his relationship with Zuo Zhen wasn’t at that level at all.

20 minutes later, Lu Xiuhe calmly rang the doorbell of room 2101.

Only after pressing the doorbell several times did he hear heavy footsteps coming from the inside.

As soon as Zuo Zhen opened the door, Lu Xiuhe aggressively tried to enter the room. Zuo Zhen raised his eyebrows and took the lead in blocking the open gap of the door, thus obstructing his way in.

Lu Xiuhe looked up and asked, “Is that person still in there?”

Zuo Zhen frowned, saw his battle-ready stance, and took only a moment in answering back to him with a question of his own, “What, here to catch me cheating on you?”

“Catch… catch what cheating?” Lu Xiuhe froze at first, but then very quickly, and in a very severe tone, said, “I was talking about the illegitimate fan!”

Only then did Zuo Zhen take a moment to think before realizing what was going on.

And it was only then that Lu Xiuhe noticed that the other party’s cheeks seemed to be a little red, and even his lips had been pursed tightly. He hadn’t said anything for a long while, but he looked like he had a lot of things he wasn’t saying, and he looked really pitiful.

“You get out of the way.” Lu Xiuhe came back to his senses, and there was a fire in his words as he said, “You’re a star, so you can’t take action, but I can. I’ll help you beat them up. You might not be able to tell, but my fighting skills in junior high school were so fucking fierce that there was no one within ten miles who dared to provoke me…”

“Wait.” Zuo Zhen opened his mouth.

He remembered the Weibo post he had seen this afternoon. His eyes narrowed, and his gaze fell on Lu Xiuhe’s pocket. Suddenly, he asked, “Is that signature pen still there on you?”

Lu Xiuhe froze. “Things have already become like this, and you’re talking about that pen?”

“Is it there with you or not?” Zuo Zhen asked, his face turning red, and he wasn’t able to hold back from coughing twice.

“……” Lu Xiuhe realized that something was wrong and asked him, “What about that signature pen, is that pen actually a permit-pass?”

“It’s a permit-pass.” Zuo Zhen stared at him, and maybe it was because of the increase in his body temperature, but his eyes were blazing.

“If you sold it, then don’t come in.”

Juurensha: ….on one hand, LXH, if you really think ZZ has been assaulted, not the best thing to tell him it’s just some kissing and touching. On the other hand, LXH is a dumbass who does seem to be really trying even if he still hasn’t admitted his own feelings. Also I’m a little sad we didn’t get LXH’s reaction to the awful Zhou Mi company drama that he mentions he needs to accompany Yanyan for. But I guess right now while LXH is off at the hotel, Boss Yi has arrived at Yanyan’s apartment.
