CHAPTER 128: AFTER THE FANSIGN

Joshua listened to Luther’s reasoning, feeling both speechless and amused.

"I am beautiful, obviously. You’re just stating the truth," he said outright.

Luther: "..."

Leonard, standing off to the side, joined in the fun. He ran a hand through his hair. "But why am I not the most handsome one? I thought I was always universally acknowledged as the most handsome."

The fans sitting nearby all covered their mouths. They glanced at one another, then leaned forward in barely contained excitement, completely forgetting how to behave normally.

Oh my god, the drama—so sweet, so delicious!

Joshua laughed. "I already said it’s from my perspective."

Leonard frowned. "So in your eyes, Henry is the most handsome in the group? But I want you to say I’m the most handsome!"

The fans: "!!!" Oh my god, so domineering!

Joshua: "... Fine, I’m the most beautiful one in this group. Stop fighting over it."

With that, Joshua swept the entire argument aside.

Just look at the way the fans’ eyes lit up—there were definitely things running through their minds that they could no longer control.

The fan in front continued asking, "Then Joshua, if you were to form a sub-unit, who would you want to pair with the most?"

Everyone else subtly perked up their ears.

While signing, Joshua answered without the slightest hesitation: "Henry."

Luther: "Why is it always Henry?"

The fans: Completely agree!

Joshua: "Talk to the girl standing in front of you, idiot."

"Shua, you’re getting more and more disrespectful. Just wait—I’ll teach you a lesson later!" Luther said, pretending to be offended.

Fans: Teach him how? Teach him how?! What is it that passionate, devoted fans like us aren’t allowed to know?!

Meanwhile, over at Henry’s table—

Henry looked at the rat-faced man with his ugly, cowardly demeanor sitting down before him. He had nothing to say; his already cold expression grew even more frigid.

Nine had no intention of speaking either. He had come here to see Joshua, not to get entangled with people like this! All because of the mandatory process!

Feeling irritated, Nine glanced over and saw Joshua happily chatting and laughing with the fans—and grew even more annoyed.

Joshua’s cute expressions should have belonged to him alone!

As for Henry, he squinted at Nine. Ever since this man had arrived, there was something about his figure that seemed vaguely familiar.

No, perhaps it was just because they had been following him and Joshua the last time.

Henry thought silently, though the simmering thoughts in his heart hadn’t yet settled.

"You came to see Joshua?"

Henry said directly, "Normally, you could just hang out casually, but you still came to his fansign. Seems like you really like him. Are you two... friends?"

It was the first time Henry had spoken so much, yet his expression remained unchanged.

He had always liked observing things. People said someone like him couldn’t understand the emotions of others. But no—he understood perfectly.

Nine might look unattractive, but when Joshua was with him, Henry even felt more threatened than when Joshua was happily close with the other group members.

Joshua could simply be friends with the others, but with Nine, there was definitely a different emotion, a different bond tying them together. Henry just didn’t know what that was yet.

Nine smirked at Henry. If he had to say who Joshua liked the most among his friends, Henry would definitely be number one.

Simply because Henry was exactly like the person Joshua had known in a past life—that was already an advantage. Perhaps, once it was proven that this Henry really was the Henry from that old world, Joshua wouldn’t hesitate at all to throw himself into Henry’s embrace.

Or maybe it wouldn’t even take that long...

Cold and seemingly indifferent, Joshua was actually powerless against those he loved. He was easily moved.

The two of them looked at each other—different faces, different builds—but in that instant, their gazes synced in an almost uncanny way.

Suddenly, it felt like a jolt of electricity had struck deep into Henry’s brain. He couldn’t help but furrow his brows and close his eyes.

At the same time, Nine lowered his gaze, then looked at Henry in surprise. Henry sensed Nine’s gaze and couldn’t help but look back, puzzled.

By then, time was up, and Nine quickly left.

After a moment of cold interaction with Leonard, Nine finally stopped in front of Joshua.

"Joshua, your teammates are really annoying," Nine frowned, clearly irritated.

Joshua raised both hands, crossing them into an X: "Don’t get toxic here. I’ll have my assistant kick you out."

Nine: "... Can you be any more careless?"

Joshua chuckled. "Alright, what do you want, my dear fan?"

Nine pressed his lips together, looking at Joshua’s beautiful face. Usually, they were even closer than this, but today Nine’s heart was beating unusually fast—maybe because there were so many people around, or maybe because this time he appeared as a fan, not as Nine, not as the system.

Instinctively, Nine raised his camera: "Smile, Joshua," he said.

Joshua was a little speechless. Usually, they never took photos, and now Nine was posing for them—he even seemed to enjoy it.

Still, Joshua asked: "Which accessory do you want me to wear?"

Nine inwardly cursed himself for not bringing anything for Joshua today. He didn’t want Joshua to wear gifts from others; ideally, he should discard them all.

Suppressing himself, Nine grumbled: "I don’t care. Just smile."

Joshua snorted coldly, flashing a wide grin, pretending to bite Nine’s head.

Nine burst out laughing and instinctively pinched Joshua’s cheek slightly—only to be blocked by the assistant beside them.

Nine huffed coldly, thinking he’d pinch Joshua properly when he got the chance later.

These people could never know that he had once been inside Joshua! Nine thought disdainfully.

Anyway, in the end, the fansign concluded smoothly. The photos from the master fan sites were ready to be posted, along with numerous edited videos and fan reactions.
