After gender swapping, my best friend and I hardcore BL (Boys' Love) became top influencers.

Inside the canteen hall of the training base.

Today, Jiao Wangshu didn't know what was wrong with her. As soon as she got up, she found that her head hurt a little. She probably had a cold.

So today, Ling Tinglan came to the cafeteria alone, which was rare for him. He quickly finished his meal, asked the cafeteria lady for a takeout box, packed a meal, and prepared to take it back to Jiao Wangshu. Now he is picking out oranges in the fruit section.

Unexpectedly, a hand was extended in front of him:

"Would you like some oranges?"

Ling Tinglan looked up in the direction he was looking at and saw Su Xingran looking at him with a smile.

"Thanks."

Without giving it much thought, he casually turned his gaze back to the orange. He had to admit that this orange was big and round, and looked delicious. It was indeed much better than the ones he had picked out.

"You're welcome."

Although she said that, Su Xingran showed no sign of letting go.

Ling Tinglan looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Su Xingran suddenly whispered, "It's not convenient to talk here. Let's find a secluded place to talk alone."

Unable to figure out what the other party was really up to, Ling Tinglan's curiosity was piqued.

Follow Su Xingran all the way to the stairwell, which is a blind spot for the camera.

"What exactly are you up to?"

For some reason, looking at the smiling Su Xingran, Ling Tinglan always felt that he was up to no good. It is said that there is a magnetic field between people, but when he is facing Su Xingran, he can always smell a familiar "tea smell". This may be the case of likes repelling each other.

Ling Tinglan already had a stern face, and thinking this made her expression even more dangerous.

Seeing the other person's wary expression, Su Xingran didn't seem to care at all, and then casually dropped a bombshell:

"Let's collaborate on creating a CP (couple pairing)."

"ha!?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Tinglan's brain instantly went blank. Had he heard correctly? What did Su Xingran say to him? What collaboration? What couple?

The invitation was so impactful that Ling Tinglan almost lost her composure and couldn't keep up her composure for a moment.

His little head was now full of big questions. He thought that only special cases like his and Jiao Wangshu could sell bromance without pressure. How could there be people who would actively ask strangers to sell bromance together? Wouldn't the interaction be awkward?

Leak! Huge leak!!!

Ling Tinglan crossed her arms and took a big step back, as if she had been stained with something dirty.

"I... I'm telling you, you can sell it however you want, but please don't drag me into it!"

Seeing the other party's eagerness to avoid her only left Su Xingran at a loss.

He tilted his head, as if he had discovered something extraordinary, "So you really are a straight man."

"How strange, why did my gay charm fail this time? It shouldn't be like this. Judging from how you usually treat Jiao Wangshu, I thought you were 100% gay."

These outrageous remarks greatly shocked Ling Tinglan once again. She was definitely 100% attracted to men, because she had previously been a completely straight woman who was gay!

But he couldn't say this directly to Su Xingran, otherwise he wouldn't just be a "gay man who seems to like men" but a "gay man who seems to have gender dysphoria," which meant he was gay no matter what...

Seeing Ling Tinglan's face flushed red and pale, and her stammering without being able to say a word, Su Xingran became even more certain of her thoughts.

"Oh, I see. I wasn't wrong. You still prefer men."

"Don't worry, I won't go around saying anything. What era are we living in? Everyone is very open-minded. Actually, your situation is quite normal in this circle. Many of my friends are in the same situation as you."

Su Xingran continued, "And don't worry, I'm straight. You don't need to worry about me having any improper thoughts about you if we're doing BL (Boys' Love)."

Ling Tinglan remained silent, speechless, and decided to skip the topic.

"Actually... I just don't understand. You and Ji Yan are such a popular couple, why do you still need to find someone else to sell bromance? And even if you were going to sell bromance, why not find someone even more popular? Why did you choose me?"

Su Xingran rolled her eyes nonchalantly, "It's all because he's too popular."

He pointed to his face and said, "You can tell by looking at my appearance that most of the fans I can attract are fans of clay sculptures, which are the submissive fans in the CP (couple pairing)."

If I want to convert this group of people into my solo fans and consolidate and expand my fan base, I can't just put all my eggs in one basket with Ji Yan.

Ji Yan is handsome and strong. If I were to become too attached to him, all the CP fans I attract would side with him, and I'd really become just a CP accessory.

"To put it bluntly, the only thing I love about being a BL fan is that I'm incredibly charming and have a relationship with everyone. The more partners I have, the more attractive I am, and I can pick up a hookup anywhere."

"I'm not stupid, why would I want to be tied to Ji Yan? Do I want his fans, who both ship the couple and act like dream girls, to use me as a costume?"

After complaining for a while, Su Xingran seemed to remember something else and kindly reminded him, "Speaking of which, Jiao Wangshu and I are both the 'golden flower' type. For better development, it's best if he doesn't tie himself to you too tightly."

I've been secretly checking the forums lately, and there seem to be some signs of him and Ji Ran becoming a couple. You should reconsider my suggestion; it'll be all good for you..."

Upon hearing this, Ling Tinglan completely broke down. What on earth was all this?

"What hints! Not even a hint! Jiao Wangshu only knows how to flirt with me, okay?!"

And you still say you're straight?

Su Xingran's expression became increasingly intriguing. "Look at you, so impatient. I'm not here to break you up, I'm here to join you."

"You and Jiao Wangshu can continue your CP (couple) activities, just interact with me occasionally. Our target audiences are different, so how many fans we attract depends on our own abilities. It's a win-win opportunity for both of us!"

Objectively speaking, Su Xingran's suggestion was very correct. Everyone's relationship with each other is superficial. Even trainees from the same company can't help but betray each other under the pressure of their management contracts.

Deeply intertwined romantic relationships are especially dangerous. You never know when the other person in the relationship might fall apart, and then they can try to distance themselves by saying it was just a simple colleague relationship. Compared to their past passionate and intense interactions, it's all laughable.

Moreover, everyone has different tastes, and more couples mean more possibilities. So, other trainees would have readily agreed to such a great opportunity to gain popularity, and Su Xingran never expected that Ling Tinglan would refuse.

But you can't blame him for that. Even if Su Xingran racked her brains, she would never have imagined that someone could actually find a CP partner who would never betray her.

Since the bizarre event of Ling Tinglan and Jiao Wangshu both transforming from women to men and traversing parallel worlds actually happened, let alone their relationship collapsing, even if they were to get married right now, no one would blink an eye.

You mean you can live a life of wealth and luxury by flirting with your best friend? That's great.
