The Canary Accidentally Won Over the Whole Protagonist Squad

Yan Chu was Pei Jingye's canary, a substitute Pei Jingye found to relieve his boredom while his white moonlight, Xiao Lufeng, was far away overseas. At first, Yan Chu kept his head clear. But later, he got swept up in the extravagant life of the wealthy and started thinking of himself as Pei Jingye's real boyfriend. When Xiao Lufeng returned to the country, Yan Chu recklessly brought about his own ruin, eventually going from a monthly salary of a hundred thousand to a homeless beggar. After having a prophetic dream in which he died, Yan Chu looked at the balance in his bank account on his phone, unable to understand why the version of himself in the dream had been jealous of Xiao Lufeng. All he had to do was show Pei Jingye his face and look after his moods and daily needs, and he got paid. He didn't even have to sleep with him, and he could rest for most of the day. The job was easy. What was there not to love about that paycheck? Looking at the two-year contract in his hands, which came with a very high penalty for breaking it, Yan Chu decided to do his job as a 'canary' properly and come clean to Xiao Lufeng about the contract. To feel at ease about earning the money, he sent Xiao Lufeng greetings every holiday. He even helped out whenever Pei Jingye's friends needed something. After all his efforts, Pei Jingye raised his salary to two hundred thousand a month. When Pei Jingye's friends occasionally dropped by, Yan Chu could make as much as a million in a month. Yan Chu was very satisfied. After working for two years, Xiao Lufeng finally came back, and Yan Chu quietly left. Glad to hand the plot over to them, he took the money he'd earned over those two years back to his studio, planning to make money while watching the drama unfold. What Yan Chu didn't know was that after he left, Xiao Lufeng, newly returned from abroad, stormed into Pei Jingye's home and grabbed Pei Jingye by the tie, shaking him furiously. "Where's Xiao Chu? What did you do to him? Why did he block me?" Pei Jingye's friend looked at him with deep displeasure. "If you don't bring Xiao Chu back, we're no longer friends." Even the butler looked at Pei Jingye strangely. "Young Master, Young Master Chu has left. He didn't take anything, and he doesn't want you anymore." Pei Jingye: "..." After spending two days trying to figure out what he'd done wrong to make Yan Chu break up with him, Pei Jingye couldn't accept being dumped. He drove to find Yan Chu, only to see his friend, his own brother, and even the family butler sitting in Yan Chu's studio, all condemning him in unison. Pei Jingye: ... -- Bonus scene: 1. Their first meeting after the contract ended. In the studio, Pei Jingye asked calmly, "Why did you break up with me?" Yan Chu was shocked. "Were we ever together?" Pei Jingye: ? 2. Pei Jingye's younger brother, his friend, the butler, and his parents all gathered because Yan Chu had left. Just then, Xiao Lufeng, newly returned from abroad, called Yan Chu. Xiao Lufeng: "Xiao Chu, I'm back in the country. Where are you?" Yan Chu: "Back in my hometown. I just got off the plane." Xiao Lufeng: "When are you coming back so we can talk about you and Pei Jingye?" Yan Chu let out a surprised "Ah." "About what? The contract's over, isn't it? Brother Lufeng, I'll be back in a few days. Let's get together then." Silence-- After an unknown amount of time, the call ended, and everyone came back to their senses. Xiao Lufeng mechanically turned to Pei Jinglang, Pei Jingye's younger brother. "Didn't your brother say he and Xiao Chu had been dating for a year?" Pei Jinglang scratched his head. "My brother... I heard he confessed to Brother Yan Chu when he was drunk." Xiao Lufeng: ... Pei Jingye's friend: ... The butler: ... Pei Jingye's parents: ... -- New novel from the author next door, now available -- "When the White Moonlight Sees the On-Screen Comments" Blurb: Ji Zhe was a corporate drone at a decent company. On the day the real young master returned, he saw on-screen comments. [So this is the fake young master who's the male lead's white moonlight? He looks good. No wonder he'll cause trouble later.] [Tsk, tsk, a textbook scheming green tea. Has nobody noticed?] [Thankfully, our darling shou is an expert at spotting green tea. He exposes this guy's true colors right away. So what if they're childhood friends? They can never beat the one who appears out of nowhere.] [How dare you bully our darling shou? I hope you get hit by a car, stabbed to death, and ****.] Ji Zhe: "?" What kind of bizarre nonsense was this? He watched the comments, then suddenly spotted a contact in one of them. [Number 1584... Send me 50 on WeChat, and I'll tell you how to deal with the darling shou.] Ji Zhe thought it over, added the person on WeChat, and sent them 50. Ji Zhe: "All right, tell me what to do." -- Yan Ting was an ordinary domineering CEO. One day, someone added him on WeChat and asked him what to do. Yan Ting: "?" What kind of strange person was this? The other person: "Are you a scammer?" Yan Ting: "?" It was the first time anyone had ever slandered him like that. In his spare time, Yan Ting gradually started chatting with this person. They had a lovely voice, cool and clear, with a lilt at the end like a little hook. As they kept chatting... they started an online relationship. Then he got dumped. Yan Ting: Work's on hold. First, he had to go get back the boyfriend who'd used him and tossed him aside. -- After the male lead gong and shou got together, the shou said to Ji Zhe with a beaming smile, "Brother, my boyfriend is..." Before he could finish, a man walked out of Ji Zhe's room. The male lead gong's swagger vanished at once, and he became all deferential. "President Yan..." The shou's face went white. Ji Zhe took the hand of the jealous man beside him and smiled. "Let me introduce you. This is my husband." 2024.4.29 Theme: Never forget your original aspirations
