Shen Shuangjian, tears fall#
As soon as the interview was broadcast live, Shen Shuangjian, who was showing her tears in front of the camera for the first time, became a trending topic on seven or eight social media platforms.
It's not just viewers and fans who follow him and the show who are getting involved in this issue; even casual fans who don't know much about him and complete strangers who don't follow the show have been affected.
The earliest version that circulated was a clip from a live stream recording.
In the video, a beautiful woman with black hair and dressed in white sits gracefully in a chair against a pure white background, which does not make her appear gaudy at all.
On the contrary, the slightly reddened corners of her eyes and the tip of her nose softened her cold indifference, and a sense of cold vulnerability kept rising. That single tear became a precious gem, and when it fell, it made people tremble.
His fingertips held many letters, and when he bowed his head, he resembled a bouquet of white peonies in full bloom—pure, aloof, magnificent, exquisitely beautiful, and infinitely contradictory.
These clips were made into videos and photos, and went viral online, with almost every single one receiving ridiculously high numbers of views.
Countless passersby were instantly amazed. After a brief period of getting to know him, some became fans, while others felt dissatisfied. Just like at the beginning of the show, it instantly stirred up a storm of controversy.
And it inadvertently suppressed a wave of new programs and new television shows.
My heart aches so much. Why does his crying hurt so much?
[The White Peony of the Capital, blessed with natural beauty and a privileged background, surrounded by admirers, and with a doting older brother from a wealthy family, what could possibly make him sad? (tears)]
[This might be what they mean by: I don't want a lot of money, I just want a lot of love.]
Is he starved for love? Don't be ridiculous, everyone loves him!
[Only children who grow up in love can have a tender heart to love others and be moved by small things. Waaah, Shuangjian is such a tender person.]
[I just got hooked, and the show's already ending?! Real Life, are you crazy?! Make another 800 episodes?!]
[It's temporary! The thought that I can only not see my wife every day for a short time makes me feel less sad...?]
[Thinking about it that way, I guess I'm fine now—oh no!!! I can't accept a day without my wife!]
[Another one's gone mad, drag them away.]
[So this is the infamous Shen Shuangjian, the new generation's most controversial figure in the fandom.]
[Baijia Lei, his fans are like mad dogs (laughs while covering mouth)]
[Reaching the top means facing more controversy and challenges than others. Go ahead and criticize, you sour grapes.]
[The next episode will be filmed back in Capital. I'm in Capital, and I can finally see my wife in person!]
[envious...]
Beijing, 1:53 PM.
Shen Shuangjian riding in her family's car, following the production crew's convoy back to Capital.
The final episode hadn't been filmed yet, and Shen Shuangjian had no idea what the production team was planning, so she could only go there based on the location and address given to her by the staff.
Because he was traveling in a private car, it was inconvenient for the production crew to follow him. So they could only set up the cameras at the recording location in advance and wait for Shen Shuangjian to arrive.
Shen Shuangjian completely unaware that, at the same time in the Capital, others had already begun recording.
Their task was to find the other recording members in the vast sea of people and the huge Capital.
Shen Shuangjian hadn't arrived at the recording location yet, so he didn't make a choice. He was also unaware that, apart from himself, everyone else had unanimously chosen him for the finale of the previous season.
"Young Master, we've arrived."
The car slowly and smoothly came to a stop outside the recording location. Before anyone even got out, the screams of the fans who had been waiting there could be heard through the well-insulated luxury car.
" Shuangjian- sensei, this way please."
There was a fence separating them, security guards in work uniforms, and staff members guiding them.
Shen Shuangjian somewhat bewildered by the treatment he received from such a big star. He got out of the car and, as he turned around, saw his name being called out from the seemingly endless crowd.
Exciting, fast-paced, and non-stop.
Shen Shuangjian subconsciously gripped the hem of her clothes and entered the room under the guidance of the staff.
Apart from Xie Jinghui, he was the last to receive the mission card.
On his task card, his objective was very clear: find the other members who were recording together and reunite with him/her.
" Shuangjian- sensei, there are quite a lot of fans at the main entrance right now. Let's go out through the small back door; it'll take us to another street."
Shen Shuangjian that Mingming hadn't recovered from her earlier daze when she was led to the exit of the small door, through winding roads, until she stood on the bustling street.
The Capital is very large. Even a native who has lived here for more than ten years may not be able to fully understand the entire Capital.
Shen Shuangjian stood on a sparsely populated road. This was the first time he had acted alone since he started recording this program.
This was also the second time he had walked alone on the street since waking up in the hospital.
He had no idea where to find the person, nor did he know which street or road in the Capital he was on, or whether it was exactly the same as his previous life, without any changes whatsoever.
He could only wander aimlessly through the streets. Shen Shuangjian was soon surrounded by passersby and fans who had come after hearing the news.
Cell phones were held high, flashes and the clicking of cameras filled the air, and whispered murmurs and suppressed excited screams filled the surrounding space.
Soon, Shen Shuangjian's pace slowed even more. He weaved through the crowd, frowning as he continued forward in the completely unfamiliar and uncomfortable environment.
"It's Shen Shuangjian, she's so beautiful."
"Your waist is so slim, I want to pinch it."
"Can we take a photo together?"
"Can I sign my name?"
"But I'm so afraid of being on camera."
"It smells nice, I want to get closer and smell it."
"I'd be happy if you were my husband."
"She looks even better in person than on camera."
"This is the legendary heartthrob, I'm so sleepy."
"..."
Shen Shuangjian couldn't quite make out what the surrounding voices were saying, but for Shen Shuangjian who preferred solitude and quiet, this situation was clearly beyond his ability to handle.
Shen Shuangjian never realized that he was actually not good at dealing with any reactions from the outside world.
From the past to the present, within his small social circle on campus, he has never encountered any malicious advances or irresistible predation.
After waking up in this body, Xie Jinghui silently and constantly surrounded him while he was recording the program.
At home, the vast Shen Residence provides him with a quiet atmosphere that is almost detached from the outside world, thanks to its excellent security and privacy.
Perhaps in Shen Shuangjian's world, the environment in which he grew up was not a tower, but it was even better than a tower.
