TTIG Chapter 53.1

#FTM Nanxing Satellite TV Spring Festival Gala Stage# became a trending topic with extensive discussion by netizens. The separately clipped stage segment surpassed 10 million views in just one night and was widely praised by casual viewers.

 

The five wore red clothes, singing and dancing. Compared to other boy groups’ perfunctory stages, FTM’s stage was full of sincerity and very handsome!

 

The studio also released a lot of backstage footage and group photos.

 

The handsome guys looked very happy.

 

This was FTM’s first public appearance after experiencing negative public opinion, and they seemed unaffected by the recent turmoil.

 

CP fans were also very happy tonight.

 

The official studio posted individual photos of each member. Fang Yinnian and Mo Xun’s styling looked more and more compatible.

 

“The CP I’m shipping is basically getting married tonight.”

 

“The bright red festive clothes suit them perfectly!”

 

“Their on-stage glances are so sweet, I’m dying!”

 

Fang Yinnian casually browsed Weibo on his alternate account on the way back to the dorm. He unexpectedly saw a photo of himself and Mo Xun.

 

It was a CP fan who took the studio’s individual photos and photoshopped them together. The two stood side by side, smiling, with a “double happiness” character behind them.

 

Fang Yinnian: “…”

 

This scene felt awkward in an indescribable way.

 

He and Mo Xun were both boys. How could they?

 

Fang Yinnian’s mind was in a mess, so he put away his phone and turned to look out the window. The New Year atmosphere in Jiangzhou was very strong, with many red lanterns hanging in the streets.

 

In previous years, he would prepare New Year’s goods with his grandmother at this time. This year, he couldn’t go home. Thinking of this, he suddenly asked: “Tomorrow is the Spring Festival. How will we celebrate?”

 

Xu Baichuan said: “On the afternoon of the first day, there will be media interviews. Starting from the second day, we’ll practice new songs. Time is tight.”

 

He looked back at the group: “Tomorrow, you five should have a reunion festival together. Your life assistant recently went home for the New Year. I’ll directly order your New Year’s Eve dinner from the hotel.”

 

Fang Yinnian said: “I’ll cook the New Year’s Eve dinner.”

 

Everyone looked at him.

 

Fang Yinnian smiled slightly: “I can cook. Ordering from the hotel is boring. Cooking at home is more lively.”

 

Fu Fei’s eyes lit up: “Yeah, we have a chef here. We haven’t seriously tasted Brother Nian’s cooking yet!”

 

Tan Junwen raised his hand: “I want to try it too.”

 

Tang Che raised his hand: “+1”

 

Mo Xun said: “Then let’s cook ourselves. After we go back, Nian, you make a list. Tomorrow morning, we’ll go to the supermarket to buy ingredients.”

 

Xu Baichuan thought for a moment and said: “How about this? You prepare the dishes at noon and set the table. I’ll hire someone to shoot a behind-the-scenes vlog. You can live stream while eating and send blessings to the fans.”

 

The negative public opinion was too strong this time, and FTM’s fans were also hurt. They should indeed greet the fans.

 

Fang Yinnian said: “Then let’s get up early to prepare, eat New Year’s Eve dinner at noon, and make dumplings in the evening.”

 

Everyone agreed with this plan.

 

After returning home in the evening, Fang Yinnian asked his teammates about their tastes and made a long list according to different preferences.

 

The next morning, Tang Che, Tan Junwen, and Fu Fei pushed a shopping cart to buy groceries. Fang Yinnian and Mo Xun stayed home to clean the room and neatly fold all the teammates’ quilts.

 

An hour later, the shopping trio returned with many bags, placing dozens of plastic bags in the dining room.

 

Mo Xun started assigning tasks: “Come on, let’s divide the work. Tang Che is responsible for unpacking and taking ingredients to the kitchen, organizing the fridge, helping me and Nian; Junwen and Xiao Fei will put up couplets and window decorations.”

 

“Okay!” The five immediately got to work.

 

Fu Fei was excited as it was his first time preparing New Year’s goods. He wanted to buy everything he saw, except only one pair of couplets. He bought two big bags of window decorations, ornaments, lanterns, and other New Year’s decorations.

 

Tan Junwen looked at the pile of red items and sighed: “Isn’t this too much?”

 

Fu Fei smiled: “We already bought them, so let’s put them up!”

 

Tan Junwen said: “Alright, it’s a waste not to. I’ll put up decorations in the living room, you do the bedrooms.”

 

They put up pairs of red “Fu” character window decorations in every bedroom. Tan Junwen hung strings of small lanterns in various corners of the living and dining rooms using hooks.

 

Fu Fei planned the placement of ornaments and flower arrangements. A red lucky cat was placed in the middle of the TV cabinet, and a bouquet was placed on the living room table…

 

The whole house was filled with a festive atmosphere.

 

After a while, manager Xu Baichuan arrived with a photographer, assistant Chen, and a publicity team lady.

 

After greeting them, the photographer started shooting behind-the-scenes footage.

 

Fang Yinnian was wearing an apron in the kitchen, cutting vegetables with professional knife skills, slicing radish into fine, even strips.

 

Mo Xun looked back and asked: “Brother Xu, are we starting to shoot now?”

 

Xu Baichuan said: “Yes, shoot some behind-the-scenes vlogs of you preparing for the New Year. Don’t worry about where the camera is. Just be natural.”

 

The five continued working.

 

In the kitchen, Mo Xun and Fang Yinnian cooperated smoothly. One washed vegetables while the other cut and cooked. The photographer captured this scene.

 

“Pass me the Sichuan peppercorns,” Fang Yinnian said.

 

“Okay.” Mo Xun handed him the bottle of peppercorns. Fang Yinnian grabbed a few and threw them into the pot, then handed the bottle back.

 

“Prepare the next dish. I’ll make meatballs. You rest for a bit?” Fang Yinnian looked at Mo Xun.

 

Mo Xun smiled slightly: “No need to rest. I’ll cut the scallions for you. Will two be enough?”

 

Fang Yinnian: “That’s enough.” His hands were covered in flour. “The strap on the back of my apron is loose. Help me tie it.”

 

Mo Xun came over and stood behind him, helping him tie the strap.

 

They continued cooking as if no one else was there.

 

The photographer felt like a redundant presence… but that was good. The footage looked very natural.

 

After two hours of busy work, Chef Fang Yinnian’s New Year’s Eve dinner was finally ready.

 

The dining table was full and very sumptuous, with chicken, duck, fish, and meat all included. Fang Yinnian’s cooking skills far exceeded everyone’s expectations.

 

Sounds of people swallowing their saliva could be heard.

 

They excitedly took photos to post on social media.

 

FTM Official Studio: “The New Year has arrived. We wish everyone a happy and prosperous Spring Festival! Our FTM members are also preparing for the New Year. Here’s a behind-the-scenes vlog for you to enjoy!”

 

Once the vlog was released, fans eagerly clicked to watch. The 20-minute video showed the five busy with various tasks—organizing ingredients, cooking, putting up window decorations—full of joy.

 

The vlog also recorded a segment of their blessings to fans.

 

What excited CP fans was that Mo Xun and Fang Yinnian stayed in the kitchen the whole time, working in perfect harmony—one washing vegetables while the other cooked, passing seasonings to each other, helping tie aprons, with countless interactions.

 

They were just like an old married couple.

 

“Ahhh, mom and dad, who understands!”

 

“The three kids are playing outside while mom and dad are making New Year’s Eve dinner in the kitchen? FTM is one loving family”

 

“Hilarious, these two together really have that married couple feeling”

 

“Nian Nian cuts vegetables so professionally, and Mo Ge assists so cooperatively. You two are really locked in, just live like this forever!”

 

“Ahhh, this is the first time I’m shipping a CP and I found such gods”

 

“This scene is so peaceful and beautiful”

 

“Nian Nian can cook everything, wuwu Mo Xun you’re so blessed”

 

“…”

 

Less than half an hour after the vlog was released, the #Magic Cube World# CP super topic shot up like a rocket to first place in CP popularity.

 

In the details of daily life, the strange chemistry between Fang Yinnian and Mo Xun made CP fans feel warm and sweet, wishing they could force the two to get married on the spot.

 

At 12:30 PM, FTM began their Spring Festival live stream.

 

The five sat at the dining table: “Hello everyone, we are FTM!”

 

The bullet comment section was flooded with “ahhhhh” screams.

 

Mo Xun smiled and said: “I’m FTM’s Mo Xun. I wish everyone a happy Spring Festival, great luck and prosperity in the new year.” He looked at his teammates: “Come on, everyone say a few words.”

 

Fang Yinnian curved his eyes and said: “I’m FTM’s Fang Yinnian. I wish everyone good health and safety in the new year.”

 

Tang Che said: “I’m FTM’s Tang Che. I wish students academic success and workers promotions and raises.”

 

“FTM Fu Fei, I wish everyone’s dreams come true!”

 

“I’m FTM Tan Junwen. To be simple and direct, I wish everyone wealth and prosperity, make big money in the new year!”

 

Mo Xun said: “Let’s show everyone our decorated room.”

 

The captain walked in front, with the photographer carrying the camera behind him. Mo Xun introduced as he walked: “These window decorations and stickers were put up by Junwen and Xiao Fei. You should have seen the vlog, right?”

 

The bullet comments showed a row of “saw it.”

 

“Hahaha, did you put up too many?”

 

“I’m dying of laughter, you hung red lanterns all over the house”

 

“How much did you buy?”

 

“Even weddings aren’t this red, more exaggerated than a bridal chamber”

 

“Are you sending someone to the bridal chamber tonight? Hahaha!”

 

Mo Xun said: “Because Xiao Fei was buying these for the first time and didn’t know how to control the quantity, he bought one of everything he saw, so it kept getting more and more.”

 

Fu Fei shouted loudly from the side: “It looks great! Everyone should be prosperous together for the New Year!”

 

Mo Xun nodded with a smile: “That’s right, everyone should be prosperous in the new year. The whole house full of red is indeed very festive.”

 

The photographer followed Mo Xun around the house.

 

Many fan comments appeared in the bullet chat—

 

“Can we see your bedrooms?”

 

“Want to see the dorm ahhh”

 

“I just saw three bedroom doors, seems like a three-person room?”

 

Manager Xu Baichuan’s voice came from nearby: “Many fans want to see your bedrooms. Is that okay?”

 

The teammates’ voices responded: “Okay.”

 

Fang Yinnian and Mo Xun had cleaned the dorm early this morning, so the rooms were quite tidy.

 

Fang Yinnian stood up, walked over to open the bedroom door, and said: “This room is where Mo Xun and I live.”

 

CP fans: “Ahhhhh!”

 

“You two are living together~”

 

“My god, Magic Cube CP fans are really celebrating the New Year today”

 

“They actually share a bedroom ahhhhh perfect!”

 

Mo Xun also walked in, and both appeared on the live stream together.

 

Fang Yinnian introduced: “This bed is mine, and next to it is Mo Xun’s.” He smiled slightly and looked at the camera: “We tidied up pretty well, right?”

 

The live stream sent a row of 666s, so clean.

 

Mo Xun said naturally: “Yinnian is a tidying expert. He cleans rooms very quickly. He even helped fold my quilt.”

 

Fang Yinnian was stunned.

 

Could… could this be said?

 

He quickly realized that Mo Xun was probably doing this for marketing purposes, deliberately mentioning this.

 

Meeting Mo Xun’s smiling eyes, Fang Yinnian’s ears burned, and he could only cooperate: “Just did it in passing.”

 

CP fans: “…”

 

You two are honestly a bit scary.

 

You’re already casually folding each other’s quilts. You two wouldn’t sleep in the same bed at night like in fan fiction, would you?

 

After the photographer left Mo Xun and Fang Yinnian’s room, he went to Junwen and Xiao Fei’s room, which obviously had more stuff.

 

Xiao Fei’s bedside was covered with game character stickers. Tan Junwen’s quilt was colorfully abstract, incomprehensible art style.

 

The last room was Tang Che’s bedroom.

 

Simple, neat, clean, with quilts folded into perfect squares.

 

“Che Che looks like he’s joining the army”

 

“So meticulous, our Tang Che is truly a Virgo”

 

“Such perfect quilts, I wouldn’t want to unfold them, hahaha”

 

After touring the dorm, the five FTM members returned to the dining room.

 

The photographer turned the camera toward the table, presenting the full table of New Year’s Eve dinner to the fans.

 

“Wow!”

 

“This is so lavish!”

 

“Drooling, I want to eat those braised lion’s head meatballs”

 

Mo Xun smiled and introduced: “This is our FTM’s head chef—student Fang Yinnian’s personally cooked New Year’s Eve dinner. Everyone applaud.”

 

Warm applause filled the room.

 

Mo Xun said warmly: “Thank you for your hard work, Yinnian. You got up early this morning to cook so many dishes.”

 

Fang Yinnian smiled: “It’s nothing. This is also our first time celebrating New Year together since FTM formed. Let’s make it lively.”

 

Fu Fei asked excitedly: “Can we start eating?”

 

Tan Junwen: “Our live stream turning into a food broadcast isn’t quite right, is it?”

 

Fang Yinnian thoughtfully said: “I’ll take a chopstick of each dish and save it for the fans to eat.”

 

He brought an empty plate, took some of each dish, then presented the food-rich plate to the camera: “Everyone take a good look. Just pretend you ate it through the internet with spiritual power.”

 

Fans: “…”

 

You saying this makes us even hungrier!

 

“What the hell is eating with spiritual power”

 

“Yinnian, are you trying to make me laugh to death?”

 

“Good good good, Chef Fang Yinnian personally served me food!”

 

“Good good, I’ll eat more with spiritual power”

 

“I can brag in the future that I ate Fang Yinnian’s homemade New Year’s Eve dinner”

 

“I also ate food made by our New Year treasure!”

 

Xu Baichuan gestured to Mo Xun.
