Zou Yuxing's mouth hung open, his eyes darting around, revealing a look of lingering fear.
This isn't his fault; Gu Suian insisted on self-destructing.
Against the backdrop of a lively celebration, they fell into a deathly silence, contrasted by the explosive surge of comments in the live stream, layer upon layer, obscuring the view.
[Oh my god, what day is it today?!]
[The old tree really blossomed?!]
[Haha, the trending topics are going to be dominated by "Forward All the Way" again. The director must be laughing in his sleep.]
[The person who ends up with Gu Suian will definitely be very happy. I'm really curious who it is.]
[What's going on with you guys? Weren't you two obsessed with each other before? Now that they've both revealed they're not single, why aren't you connecting them?]
Although the two have great chemistry as a couple, they have never acknowledged each other. People prefer to create rumors and ship them as a couple. Now that what they imagined has actually happened, they subconsciously dare not think about it.
Only after being reminded did the CP fans become bolder.
[Then I'll dream big: the two of them are already together!]
[... Is this considered big? That's too timid. Let me tell you, these two are already married, they've been doing it for three days and three nights, and their child is running around everywhere!]
Yes, they're married now, legally married, and nobody can break them up.
From now on, we're going to openly and honestly ship these couples, instead of having to find our own "sweet moments" on our own!
Wen Feiran thought she had played a clever trick by obscuring the specifics of the relationship and using "not single" instead of "married".
Encouraged by everyone, the CP fans flooded the screen with messages celebrating their marriage, leading later netizens to believe Gu Suian the two had revealed their marital status, and even the trending topic became # Wen Feiran #.
The incident had already gone viral online three times before the people present came to their senses. Zou Yuxing opened his mouth but didn't make a sound, instead suddenly letting out a burp.
"..."
This sound restored the tense atmosphere to normal. Su Shangting, annoyed by Zou Yuxing, rolled his eyes and punched him.
"Well, we're going." Zou Yuxing gave a dry laugh, pretending he hadn't noticed anything, but his acting was so convincing that he practically had the words "trying to cover up" written all over his face.
Of those present, only Wen Feiran and Gu Suian admirable; the rest were all single and walked forward in pairs.
With this matter on his mind, Zou Yuxing's eyes followed his heart, and he subconsciously turned to look at Wen Feiran and Gu Suian.
The two stood outside the crowd, without physical contact or eye contact, but in his eyes, the atmosphere between them was very ambiguous, as if they were surrounded by a romantic filter.
Zou Yuxing's gaze immediately changed.
Although many people in the live stream were shipping the two, none of the guests who recorded the show ever doubted their relationship. In particular, Zou Yuxing, who was very open-minded, treated everyone as good brothers and had no idea about the complexities of romantic relationships.
But now...
Nie Lixin noticed Zou Yuxing's actions and subconsciously looked over, his expression turning strange as he stood there, stunned.
The others also fell into this strange cycle, turning into silent statues upon seeing Wen Feiran and Gu Suian, communicating only with their eyes.
At that moment, they reached the highest level of spiritual connection, seeing the same message in each other's faces.
They were too far apart for Wen Feiran to notice; he only saw Zou Yuxing standing still without moving.
???
Wen Feiran used the act of fixing her hair to cover her face with her hand, trying to gather her thoughts without having to face the camera or the whole world.
After appearing on the show, his secrets began to crumble one by one, almost leaving him with nothing but his underwear. At the time, he comforted himself by saying that no one knew his biggest secret, but now half of it is known. And if you connect this to Gu Suian...
Wen Feiran peeked at Gu Suian through her fingers.
Bad news: The sky has fallen.
Good news: There's another tall person holding the fort.
This matter wasn't just related to him. With Gu Suian by his side, Wen Feiran felt inexplicably at ease. Even if he wasn't good at handling this kind of thing, he wouldn't be too bad.
However, he lacked experience and didn't realize that while Gu Suian could help him resolve other issues, when it came to matters of the heart, he would only make things worse.
Gu Suian turned to look at him, and their eyes met briefly.
The viewers in the live stream immediately understood.
[Wow, the young couple has really become more open since going public; they've even started flirting!]
[They're not a young couple, they're a legally married couple. Didn't they both just say they were married?]
Is it really that simple? I saw on the trending topics that they've been married for two years already.
[... In my version, Wen Feiran is somewhat like a child bride, Gu Suian is always waiting for his little bride to grow up.]
[Haha, although I was part of the rumors, I suddenly feel really sorry for them, lol]
Wen Feiran, unaware of the extent to which everyone had already imagined things, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
They went out happily, enjoying the scenery and experiencing the local customs, but returned with different expressions and immediately went back to their rooms.
Wen Feiran had turned off all the cameras in the room beforehand, and was waiting at the door. When Zou Yuxing passed by, she quickly reached out and pulled him inside.
Before Zou Yuxing could react, Wen Feiran had already turned off his microphone.
Wen Feiran hesitated for a long time before vaguely saying, "Yuxing, there's something I want to ask you."
He looked up and met Zou Yuxing's bright eyes, seeing the moved expression on his face.
"..." He had considered many possibilities, but he hadn't expected this reaction... Something's not right, what is Zou Yuxing feeling?
