Xu Chun uploaded the photo, then repeatedly revised and deleted the text in the text field before finally managing to send it out.
"I went out for a stroll tonight on Christmas, watched the Christmas tree and the fountain show. The children were adorable, and I also gained a lot of insights. Finally, I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy Reunion!"
Soon enough, there were quite a few comments below.
Xu Jin: "Brother, are you posting on Moments or writing an essay?"
Wei Jiahe: "Brother Xu, blink if you've been kidnapped."
A little while later, his mother also commented below.
"Son, tell Mom what's wrong, don't keep it to yourself."
Xu Chun, who hadn't posted on Moments in ages, was clearly quite startled by her sudden, awkward Moments.
Xu Chun casually clicked into her mother's Moments. At first, she widened her eyes in disbelief, but after accepting the truth, she showed a look of utter despair.
Xie Jianyuan asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Chun said in despair, "My mom posted my old photos on her Moments without me even realizing it."
The photos were neatly arranged in order of age. It seems that not long ago, rumors circulated that Xu Chun had undergone plastic surgery. Xu's mother was furious when she saw them, so she simply released all of Xu Chun's childhood photos to prove that he hadn't had plastic surgery, since Xu Chun's appearance as a child is almost identical to his current appearance.
"Most importantly, there are also many photos of me wearing skirts." Xu Chun covered her forehead, feeling a headache at the thought of being teased and made fun of after these photos were leaked.
Xie Jianyuan looked at him, and after a moment of silence, suddenly said, "Would you mind adding my aunt on WeChat?"
Xu Chun: "..."
Chapter 62 Private Room
Since its release, "Twin Cities" has broken through the competition among films released at the same time as a niche suspense film, with its box office soaring. Initially, it was driven by fans' spontaneous promotion, but if the film wasn't good, it wouldn't have broken through to a wider audience. Fortunately, the film itself is of high quality, with both the lead and supporting actors delivering excellent performances, so it has a positive impression on casual viewers and has garnered a lot of organic praise online.
"So what if you think this movie is good? Those who say I'm a paid shill, please pay up for me first, thank you."
"Those random people from the underworld who have special attributes are despicable. I've already seen several young idols' fans subtly bashing Xie Jianyuan. So what if my Brother Yuan is awesome and his box office is far ahead of the same period? What's wrong with that?"
"I absolutely have to rave about this movie! I initially went for the visuals, but I cried several times during it."
"Waaaaah, this is such a beautiful brotherly bond! They're practically teetering on the edge of orthopedics, tentatively reaching out their toes."
"Brother Chun's acting is absolutely amazing! This kind of character is a huge breakthrough for him, a complete surprise. What a wonderful person I've become! I'm not saying anything more, off to the cinema for a second viewing!"
Meanwhile, another incident broke on Weibo, which essentially generated buzz for the movie.
#A netizen reported running into Xie Jianyuan and Xu Chun at the cinema, apparently to see their movie "Twin Cities". What do you all think?#
In the accompanying video, Xu Chun walked quickly past the camera with her head down and her face covered. Xie Jianyuan stretched out a hand to block the camera and frowned, mouthing "Don't film."
"It's just hype, they just happen to be trending on social media when the movie is released, haha."
This marketing campaign is awesome!
Of course, there were also fierce battles between CP fans and toxic solo stans.
"Is there anything wrong with you guys playing around? This is just guys playing with guys and you're already fighting like this. If your idol had a close female friend, she'd be torn to shreds."
"I ship couples, but I do it rationally. The girls in the comments are just joking around; at least no one is being inappropriate or rude under any individual tag. Please don't get too worked up."
"Are CP fans inhuman? We've done everything from buying merchandise and magazines to manipulating online data and buying endorsement products. Is shipping CPs illegal? You're forcing us to curse them."
Xu Chun only found out later that she was not only filmed while watching the movie that day, but the video was also uploaded online and became a trending topic. The team did not do much to control the online controversy, because it was a way to maintain the popularity of the movie during its crucial release period.
On Thursday, Xu Chun was going to participate in a talk show. While getting ready backstage, she unexpectedly ran into the idol group her younger brother belonged to. It seems they were also going to participate in the recording.
Xu Jin was also taken aback when he saw him, and then respectfully called him "brother".
Xu Chun nodded, then her gaze fell on Wen Lin at the front. Because of what happened last time, she could no longer look directly at his masculine and handsome face, so she only glanced at him before quickly turning her gaze away.
Hello, senior.
This time, Wen Lin seemed like a completely different person. He bowed respectfully and greeted him respectfully, and no one could reconcile him with the person who had humiliated Xu Chun on the show.
The recording of the show went very smoothly at first. When the production team asked Xu Chun if she had many suitors, Xu Chun thought for a moment and then said somewhat shyly, "Not really."
He did have quite a few girls confess their feelings to him when he was in school, but Xu Chun felt that they weren't really in love; they were just following the trend, because he hardly ever spoke to those girls.
Later, because he debuted as a child star and was relatively young in the industry, many things were not deliberately kept from him. Because he was a child, he was less wary. When Xu Chun was young, she personally witnessed a famously loving couple in the industry. The husband was on the phone with his wife while touching another actress's thigh.
He himself wasn't particularly interested in romance, which can be seen from his attitude towards Jiang Xiuyan. He was neither wishy-washy nor soft-hearted; if he liked someone, he liked them, and if he didn't, he didn't.
Jiang Xiuyan only liked him because of his similar face; it couldn't be called true liking.
Therefore, very few people have genuinely liked him.
The host clearly didn't believe it, thinking Xu Chun was just being modest. After making a few jokes, he turned the topic to Wen Lin, asking him the same question. Wen Lin nodded without hesitation.
