After Sheng Nian posted his giveaway on Starblog, the comments and reposts immediately reached 999+. He opened the comments and saw that most were from fans.

Still, there were inevitably some remarks about him shamelessly clinging to Jiang Shu or having a bad temper.

He paid those remarks no mind and first sent a message to his studio assistant.

[Xiao Yan, help me keep an eye on that giveaway post. Remember to screen the entries. I'm only picking fans.]

[Okay, Young Master.]

[...Why have you started calling me Young Master too?]

[Hehe~ It's such a nice nickname, so much closer than Young Master Sheng, which we used to call you.]

[Whatever you like...]

After arranging the giveaway, he saw that it was nearly the time he had agreed on with Yan Feizhuo. He hurriedly began drafting the Starblog post for their mock relationship announcement, then scheduled it to publish.

At eight o'clock that evening.

Sheng Nian: [#Heart-Throbbing Observation Diary's mysterious romance bonus#Winter jasmine awakens first, and word of spring has arrived. The spring you give me will never fade. @Yan Feizhuo]

Yan Feizhuo: [#Heart-Throbbing Observation Diary's mysterious romance bonus#The endless night has been so long. At last, the moon has rushed into my arms. @Sheng Nian]

Both posts went live right on time.

The comments beneath them instantly reached 999+, and "Sheng Nian & Yan Feizhuo's mock relationship announcement" quickly entered the top ten trending topics, with its popularity still climbing.

Under the topic, countless ship fans clamored that they were finally being fed.

[Aaaaaah! They actually posted it!]

[Sheng-Yan forever!]

[We're finally getting a proper meal. Before this, we were picking scraps of sweetness out of broken glass, sob sob sob.]

[These two are way too good at feeding us sweet moments! One calls the other spring, and the other calls him the moon! Aaaaaah!]

[Does anyone get it? I've been biting my blanket and rolling around in bed this whole time, and I still haven't calmed down.]

[Same! My mom yelled at me for screaming in my room, but I'm still so happy, hahahaha~]

Sheng Nian saw Yan Feizhuo's caption too.

"The moon?"

He murmured the words, then grew a little embarrassed. "How am I like the moon?"

"Ding-dong~"

A message notification sounded. Sheng Nian opened it and took a look. It was from his manager, Kari.

[Young Master, President Yan commented under your post. Go look and interact with him. Also, remember to follow him back!]

Sheng Nian hurriedly opened his post and saw that Yan Feizhuo's comment had already been liked to the top.

[I can't give you an unfading spring just yet, so let me make it up to you with this for now.]

Below it was a picture.

He opened it and saw a hairpin, almost identical to the sprig of winter jasmine Yan Feizhuo had asked to keep on the night they toured Evernight Sky.

Sheng Nian froze for a moment. Unable to decide how to reply just yet, he scrolled through the comments below.

The fans beneath it, however, were excited.

[That's the sprig of winter jasmine, right? The one President Yan took out of Sheng Nian's hair!!!]

[That's the one! Aaaaaah, he actually had it made into a hairpin!]

[So rich. It's actually made of real jade...]

[President Yan, with schemes like these, you'll win yourself a wife sooner or later!]

[The bright moon startles spring. Those words suddenly popped into my head when I saw their captions.]

[Aaaaaah, girl, you're brilliant! That perfectly captures the feeling between Sheng Nian and Yan Feizhuo!]

[Sheng Nian is that moon and that sprig of winter jasmine, stirring the winter of endless night until word of spring finally arrives! You're so good at shipping! My fellow fans are ten thousand times better at this than I am!]

[Aaaaaah, I'm going to message the owner of the Sheng-Yan CP fansite and ask him to change our site's name to this!!!]

[(´ε` )♡ No need to message me. I've already seen it, hehe. I messaged that girl just now, and she agreed to let me use those words as our ship fansite's name.]

[Okay, but please stop calling me a girl... I'm a male Alpha...]

The comments were full of laughter and delight over the sweet moments, and could not have been more harmonious.

Sheng Nian softly repeated, "The bright moon startles spring..."

He went out to the window. Fortunately, the moon was quite bright that night.

Two minutes later, a reply with a picture of a crescent moon appeared beneath Yan Feizhuo's comment.

[Then let me give you a bright crescent moon in return.]

Another wave of "Aaaaaah" screams filled the replies beneath that comment.

After scrolling for a while, Sheng Nian felt his ears hurt a little.

He obediently followed his manager's instructions, opened Yan Feizhuo's Star Network profile, followed him, and browsed a little.

Yan Feizhuo's Star Network profile was utterly bare. His only Starblog post was the mock relationship announcement he had just published.

It looked as though he had only registered a personal Starblog account for this mock announcement.

His following count was also "1." Apparently, he only followed Sheng Nian, making him seem incredibly aloof.

Sheng Nian opened the comments beneath the only post on Yan Feizhuo's profile.

The comments here were much better than those beneath his own post. At least there were none of the raunchy remarks from ship fans. Scrolling down, he actually saw that the official accounts of all the major companies under Yan Group had reposted it.

Sheng Nian: "..."

It suddenly occurred to him that he had planned to delete his Starblog post after publishing it...

Sheng Nian hurriedly opened his chat with Yan Feizhuo.

[Yan Feizhuo, I'm going to delete that post in a bit...]

Yan Feizhuo: [Why? Give me a reason.]

[I just have to delete it, okay? Don't you know why?]

On the other end of the Light Brain, the temperature around Yan Feizhuo instantly froze, frightening the marketing manager who was delivering his report into barely daring to breathe.

Wh-what happened? Wasn't the boss in a good mood just now?

If I'd known, I wouldn't have listened to them saying the boss was in a good mood and come to get his signature...

"Go back and redo it."

"Yes."

The manager took the documents and scurried away.

Yan Feizhuo rubbed his temple. Was it that mysterious presence again?

[Understood. Take your medicine on time and get to bed early. See you tomorrow.]

When Sheng Nian saw Yan Feizhuo's reply, for some reason, he felt the relief of having an unreasonable request granted.

He sent Yan Feizhuo a reaction image saying he understood, then ended their conversation.
