Chapter 605: Running Man Airs, Refuses to Remarry!
……
……
With the Feitian Awards concluded, Gu Qing's nomination has once again raised the bar for young idols in the Chinese entertainment industry.
At the age of 22, he was nominated for the Feitian Award for Outstanding Actor.
This title would be enough for any young actor to boast about for a lifetime, but for Gu Qing, it's just a small line added to his resume.
But for other young idols in the Chinese entertainment industry, the impact of this small print is comparable to a bomb.
Fortunately, they've become numb to it.
These days, the young idols in the Chinese entertainment industry have long been rendered powerless by Gu Qing.
If any of us brothers can produce a hit drama, we'll dare to haile him on marketing accounts as the "new generation's acting talent".
If a movie can gross a billion or two billion at the box office, fans will go crazy and put up posters at the United Nations, as if their idol has already ruled the world.
But what about Gu Qing?
You chased after it all your life with all your might, and when you looked up...
Their starting line is already at the end of your finish line.
How can you compare them? There's no way to compare them.
Therefore,
"If you can't afford to offend them, can't you at least avoid them?" has become an unspoken consensus among major talent agencies.
They snatched the notebook that Gu Qing refused to accept.
They'll try to get on the variety shows that Gu Qing won't appear on.
At fashion events that Gu Qing doesn't attend, they wear haute couture and strike poses on the red carpet.
As long as they don't appear in the same frame as Gu Qing, they can still be gods in their own fan circles.
"But once the show airs in a couple of days and they 'remarry,' the CP fans will be back—what's the point of our marketing after that!"
Even many PR directors at talent agencies are now in despair.
They stared blankly at the densely packed marketing plans on the whiteboard in the conference room, slammed their pens on the table, and spoke with utter dejection and a sense of hopelessness.
Gu Qing and Yang Ying appearing together makes them the most unlikely imperial-level couple to be resurrected in the history of Chinese entertainment industry.
Two years have passed, and many generations of fans have come and gone. Many people thought that this CP was dead, buried, and that grass was growing on its tombstone.
As a result, Lan Tai dug the fossil out of the ground with a single shovel.
If they really succeed in "remarrying", the CP fans will make a comeback, and all the traffic and topics on the Internet will be absorbed. What will other companies have left to market?
Is your brother and her sister being paired up as a couple?
Is your sister and her brother going to be a couple on screen?
The audience has already been fed up with the "remarriage of the century" of Qingying CP, so who still cares about your little bit of artificial sweetener?
If Lu Han hadn't crippled his own arms and Wu Qian hadn't performed steadily, Huang Zitao's public image would have collapsed.
These three companies combined lost a large number of fans, giving the market a pitiful amount of breathing room.
Otherwise, major entertainment agencies would feel that there aren't enough fans in the Chinese entertainment industry to go around, and they probably wouldn't be able to support the next top-tier idol.
The Running Man episode, which aired two days later, captivated the hearts of everyone in the Chinese entertainment industry.
Time flies, it's Saturday, 8:30 pm.
There's still half an hour until Running Man airs.
On a university campus in China, the lights in a girls' dormitory building were brighter and more uniform than usual.
From the first floor to the sixth floor, behind almost every window sat several girls holding their phones or staring at their computer screens, eagerly waiting.
Room 301
Above the house number was an additional handwritten banner with white lettering on a pink background, covered with little hearts and stars drawn with colored markers—"The Gu Family's Little Nest".
The edges of the banner were reinforced with several layers of transparent tape, indicating that it had been up for some time.
Pushing open the door, you see five beds, and everywhere you look—on the table, the walls, the wardrobe doors—is something related to Gu Qing.
From posters and stickers to standees and keychains with chibi-style avatars, even everyone's water cups are covered with Gu Qing's big head emoji.
It's obvious who owns this dormitory.
This six-person room actually houses five people. The fans' "symptoms" range from mild to severe, with distinct levels, and can almost be used as a standard sample for the taxonomy of fans in the Chinese entertainment industry.
Casual fan – Zhao Xiaohua, who has watched Gu Qing's TV series and movies, is not a fan circle member and is just a casual fan.
Zhou Jianing, a mild fan of Gu Qing, often watches Gu Qing's videos and likes, shares, and gives coins to interesting clips.
Lin Keke, a moderate Gu family member, is a merchandise and data enthusiast. Her drawer is filled with Gu Qing's photo albums, support banners, and official merchandise packaging boxes.
Shen Yu, a girl who is extremely devoted to her family, is the tallest girl in the dormitory. She has long, flowing hair, striking features, and a cold and aloof demeanor.
She's the kind of person who's willing to follow any flight to catch up on travel plans as soon as she's on vacation; she's the leader of the dorm.
And the last heavyweight – Xu hope, a fan of the sibling-themed CP.
……
"Half an hour left! Half an hour left!"
While staring at the countdown on her phone, Lin Keke nudged Zhou Jianing next to her with her elbow, "Sisters, my brother's show is about to start!"
"Xiao hope, come here quickly."
Shen Yu beckoned towards the upper bunk on the left, a mischievous smile playing on his lips, his voice teasing and joking, "Your little brother is going to remarry your baby—why don't you hurry up and come down?"
Four girls sat around the desk, their computer screens already switched to the live stream page of Zhejiang TV, with the progress bar still stuck in the advertisement phase.
Upon hearing this,
A slender, fair hand gently lifted a corner of the curtain on the upper bunk on the left.
Xu hope peeked out, her long, smooth hair falling over her shoulders to reveal a delicate face with thin-rimmed glasses.
She slowly climbed down the ladder.
Before she could even stand up straight, a pair of arms wrapped around her from behind.
Shen Yu held her in his arms, nuzzled her head with his chin, and announced with a grin, "Xiao hope, sit on your sister's lap."
"Sister Shen, stop fooling around."
Xu hope blushed slightly, her voice soft, tinged with shyness and bashfulness.
She gently struggled a few times to break free from Shen Yu's embrace, pulled over a small stool, and sat down quietly next to the desk, placing her hands properly on her knees, looking incredibly well-behaved.
The girls' dormitory was filled with a lesbian atmosphere.
Shen Yu wasn't angry after being pushed away; he just smiled and twirled the ends of Xu hope's hair that were hanging over her shoulder with his fingers.
In everyone's impression, Xu hope is the gentlest, quietest, and easiest-to-talk-to roommate in the dormitory.
She doesn't seem to follow celebrities at all, doesn't browse supertopics or vote for idols, has good grades, and a gentle personality. Even the dormitory supervisor likes her very much and always chats with her a bit more during room checks.
Just recently, during a late-night chat in the dorm,
She accidentally let slip that she was a fan of the Gu Qing and Yang Ying pairing, and that she was an early fan of the pairing.
I've been a fan since the first season of Running Man, a living fossil-level fan who has witnessed this couple go from obscurity to national adoration, and then from national adoration to an abyss.
After hearing this, my roommates were stunned for a long time, and then burst into an exaggerated jeer.
They didn't know,
What is Xu hope really like online in private?
"It's starting! It's starting!"
Zhou Jianing exclaimed in surprise, and everyone's eyes were simultaneously fixed on the screen.
Xu hope maintained a shy smile and remained silent, not participating in her roommates' lively discussion.
But her gaze remained fixed on the computer screen, her eyes behind her glasses burning with intense focus.
Her heart was racing, her breathing was shallow and rapid, and an indescribable longing and excitement was swelling in her chest, almost overflowing from her throat.
Gu Qing's younger brother... Baby... is finally going to make up.
It's been two years.
It's been two whole years!
What was once a nationwide frenzy has become a dark chapter in history that no one wants to mention.
Some fans unfollowed, some became solo stans, and some simply left the fandom.
Only this small group of them remained, like a group of lonely souls clinging to the ruins, unwilling to leave.
They huddled together for warmth in the dark, sunless sewers, surviving on old candy from years ago, waiting for a miracle that even they themselves could hardly believe.
just now……
Rise, my love!
Our sibling duo is finally coming back!
Thinking of the sisters who had been crying their eyes out in the group these past few days, Xu hope felt a bittersweet joy, like an ugly daughter-in-law finally getting ahead.
Today is everyone's big day!
As soon as the Running Man's Anmuxi intro popped up, before the familiar animation and sound effects had even finished playing, Zhou Jianing, who couldn't wait any longer, quickly dragged the progress bar.
The screen went black, and then it jumped directly into the main feature.
"Ooh ooh ooh—"
On the computer screen, the view switched directly to the sports stadium.
Amidst the uplifting drumbeats of the Running Man theme song, Chen He and others joyfully ran into the venue.
"Hey, where's Brother Chao?"
"Idiot, Brother Chao is definitely a guest!"
Zhao Xiaohua grabbed a potato chip and put it in her mouth, taking small bites. "He and his brother acted in 'Riding the Waves,' so this episode is probably to promote the movie."
She chewed the potato chip twice and swallowed it, then casually added, "When I saw the trending topic 'Gu Ying reunited' on Weibo, I thought it was Gu Qing's younger brother and Ying Bao. I was so excited for a long time."
"I think they have much better chemistry as a couple—"
Zhao Xiaohua was speaking when she suddenly shivered and a layer of goosebumps rose on her shoulders.
It was a very subtle feeling, as if someone was staring at the back of her neck, their gaze cold and sharp.
She looked around the dormitory blankly. "It's gotten colder? Have you guys noticed it suddenly getting chilly?"
Zhao Xiaotang didn't know.
In the few seconds that she spoke up for "Gu Ying CP", Xu hope, who was sitting diagonally behind her, gave her an extremely cold look.
That look in her eyes was completely different from the gentle and shy Xu hope she usually was.
She only supports Gu Qing and Yang Ying; as a fanatical CP (couple pairing) enthusiast, any other CP is a desecration of her faith.
What's more, there's the pairing of Zhao Liying and Gu Qing—the one who filmed three dramas with Gu Qing, from "The Journey of Flower" to "Duckweed".
Zhao Liying.
These three words were more jarring to Xu hope than the names of any rival artists.
How could Zhao Xiaodao, that country girl, be a good match for a younger brother?
With her round face, short legs, and a laugh that sounds like she's banging a drum, she used to be so heavily criticized online—what makes her so special?
Still calling them "Gu Ying CP"?
Who gave her fans permission to use those two words?!
Does she even deserve to be compared to Baby?
Xu hope had already mentally torn Sister Zhao to pieces several times over.
The scene transitions naturally into the program content.
After the opening remarks, the group of brothers, who were absent from Deng Chao's speech, were amused by Chen Chichi's cheeky "Who else but me?" which made the whole audience burst into laughter.
Then came the introductions of various university dragon boat teams, with students in colorful uniforms chanting slogans in front of the camera, radiating youthful energy.
After all the teams finished introducing themselves, the members started complaining about not having enough people. Chen Chichi yelled at the camera, "They have too many people, and we only have a few. How can we compete?"
Then, Yao PD gave the order.
"Next up—please welcome the 'Riding the Waves' team!"
The curtains were drawn back, and all the lights were turned on.
The entire cast and crew of "Riding the Waves" made an appearance.
"Ahhhhhh—" The screams from dormitory 301 were comparable to those of female college students at the scene.
"Ahhh!! Gu Qing and Ying Bao are posing back-to-back!!"
"So sweet!! The combination is really different, there's no rawness at all."
Inside the dormitory, Zhao Xiaohua, Zhou Jianing, and Lin Keke all let out suppressed screams.
Looking at Gu Qing's gentle smile on the screen, and then at Zhao Liying's chubby face with her crescent-shaped eyes squinting as she smiled from ear to ear, Xu hope couldn't smile at all.
Fortunately,
Xu hope turned her head and glanced at Shen Yu.
She noticed that Shen Yu, who was a huge fan of Gu Qing, now had a gloomy and ugly face.
Xu hope's eyes lit up, and a surge of excitement welled up in her heart, thinking, "I've finally found a companion."
She quietly reached out her small hand and tugged at Shen Yu's sleeve, asking timidly, "Sister Shen, do you also dislike Zhao Liying?"
"I hate every woman around my brother!"
Shen Yu's face was dark as he forced out the words through gritted teeth, each syllable sounding like it was being crushed on ice: "These vixens deserve to die!!"
Xu hope: "..."
She silently withdrew her hand.
Well, I've run into a crazy, toxic fangirl. I need to stay away from her to avoid accidentally hurting my baby.
The program on the screen continued, promptly diverting her attention.
The scene of Gu Qing and his Running Man brothers hugging each other with smiles was incredibly heartwarming.
Even the comments section was filled with phrases like "tears welling up" and "the original Running Man team spirit is explosive."
"Baby, where's Baby?!"
Xu hope, however, was not moved by these hugs at all.
She frowned, her upper body leaning forward unconsciously, her eyes fixed on the screen.
She is waiting.
She was waiting for that scene, the one she'd been waiting for ever since the show's preview aired.
Gu Qing and Yang Ying's embrace, their eye contact, and their open and honest reunion in front of everyone—she had been waiting for this scene for two years.
The camera followed each angle closely, giving a close-up of Gu Qing.
After hugging each member, he naturally turned around and his gaze fell on a figure at the back of the crowd.
His movements were without hesitation or deliberation; he simply tilted his head slightly, raised his hand, and waved gently, a bright, sunny smile on his face.
"Hi, Baby, it's been a long time."
"Qingqing, it's been a long time."
Yang Ying stood two steps away, her hands clasped in front of her. She looked at Gu Qing, a sweet and bright smile blooming on her lips.
Xu Xi stopped breathing.
Her eyes started to sting, her nose started to sting, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up – it had arrived.
This is the moment!
She had waited two years for this moment. She opened her mouth, wanting to scream along with the comments, wanting to shout out all the grievances and waiting of the past two years—
"Wow—"
The camera pans to show everyone lined up, and PD Yao begins announcing the tasks.
The narration cuts in without any emotion, and the background music changes from an emotional major key to tense game sound effects.
The transition was swift and decisive, without any lingering attachment.
Xu hope's smile froze on her lips.
From the initial delightful bloom to the gradual stiffening, and then to complete stagnation, it's like a blooming flower suddenly being trampled into the mud.
The entire process takes no more than three seconds.
That's it? That's it?
The sisters imagined an epic remarriage, a meeting of the century that was portrayed as earth-shattering and touching by marketing accounts in the trailer.
How could a simple greeting end like that?
Where are the hugs? Where are the sweet gazes?
Where's that amazing background music that gives me goosebumps?
Zhejiang TV, don't you guys even care about data usage?!
Xu hope was about to lose it. "A familiar stranger upon seeing each other again?"
"They were quite polite to each other. The younger brother even hugged Deng Chao and the others, but he just waved to Yang Ying, so it seemed like he had let go."
"Let it go, or will you continue to be sucked dry? Yang Ying, you might as well go back to your greasy king."
Shen Yu snorted and casually asked, "Xiao hope, do you think what I said is right?"
"..."
Xu hope remained silent.
If looks could kill, Shen Yu's back would have been riddled with holes long ago.
lay down?
Who allowed him to let go?
Who is he letting go of? And on what grounds is he letting go?!
She and her sisters hid in the shadows for two years, ridiculed by the entire internet, scorned by their own fans, and treated like lunatics by passersby...
They sacrificed so much, just to wait for him to "wave goodbye and be done with it"?
If all they need to do is wave goodbye, then what does their perseverance over the past two years mean? A joke?!
"Gu Qing definitely had more interactions with Baby; the show must have edited it out maliciously!"
Xu hope didn't believe it.
With such a long episode, she refused to believe she couldn't find a single scene that was worth watching.
The next game was smashing building blocks. Gu Qing and Yang Ying were on opposing teams.
Xu hope was disappointed again.
Being on different teams means there won't be much interaction, especially in a competitive game like this.
"Yay! My little brother is so accurate!!"
"Honey, hit me with a sandbag! Hit me now! Hit me in the chest!"
"You little brat, things have changed between you two, haven't they?"
"My brother is already 22, he can get a marriage certificate with me! He's reached the legal marriage age!"
Another burst of cheerful laughter filled the dormitory.
With Gu Qing's final, decisive strike, the sandbag traced a straight line through the air, precisely striking the last block at the highest point, winning over a group of female fans.
But when the blocks are stacked to two meters, the height is not enough.
The girls are getting into the game and helping to come up with solutions.
"Sister Liying!"
Gu Qing took off her coat and turned around, wrapping the two sleeves of her jacket around Zhao Liying's waist, completely covering her pleated skirt. She placed her hands on her knees and slightly turned her face to the side.
"on!"
"coming!"
Without hesitation or coyness, Zhao Liying jumped onto Gu Qing's back, nimbly spreading her legs, and together they placed the last block on top.
"Ahhhh-"
"What is this?! What is this?! Oh my god!!"
This time, what came from dormitory 301 was not an ordinary scream, but a loud bang that was enough to alert the dormitory supervisor.
Even Shen Yu, a die-hard fan, completely lost his composure at this moment.
She cupped her flushed cheeks in her hands, her lips slightly parted, her breathing rapid, and her beautiful eyes were so glazed over that she was almost intoxicated, completely immersing herself in the image of Zhao Liying.
"Did you see that? Did you see that? How can my little brother be so good?!"
The girls from the next dormitory also ran over from their balconies, the sound of their slippers clattering in the corridor.
A group of girls squeezed into the small room 301, hugging and jumping.
From the perspective of these girls,
This scene perfectly combines all the elements of both domineering wife and domineering CEO romance novels.
There were more than a dozen people in the room, but Xu hope was the only one sitting quietly on her small stool.
Her heart was as hard as iron, and her body as cold as ice.
why?
Why isn't Yang Ying in Gu Qing's brother's faction?
If it's a baby...
Xu hope wished she could kill herself to cheer on the Emperor and Empress couple.
"Zhao Xiaodao, you country bumpkin! What right do you have to steal my baby's life?!"
Xu hope's hatred for Zhao Liying reached its peak at this moment.
When the Running Man team went on to the second round of challenges, Chen Chichi followed Gu Qing's example and stole her idea, tying Yang Ying's pleated skirt on in advance.
He did want to replicate Gu Qing's famous scene from earlier, but his technique was so crude it was appalling. The coat in his hands was like a rag, tied crookedly and loosely.
He even lay on the ground pretending to be a turtle, only to have his butt kicked away by Li Chen. His smug laughter, coupled with his chubby face, made the whole scene utterly devoid of beauty or charm, filled only with a sense of absurdity and cheapness.
The screen was filled with sarcastic comments like "Hahaha Chen Chichi, don't try to piggyback on my brother's fame" and "If you can't learn it, don't bother learning it."
Xu hope looked at Chen Chichi's winking face on the screen, and a nameless anger surged up from her chest.
She wished she could jump into the screen and stab Chen Chichi.
For others, it's romantic; for you, it's a joke!
What gives you the right to tie Baby's dress?
If anyone should be in charge, it should be the younger brother—not you, you idiot.
"Haha, Huang Zitao wants to imitate my little brother?"
"Does he have that skill? My brother's move just now was powered by his wrist; he's trained. His posture was completely twisted, yet he still pretended."
"So greasy! Ugh—"
"Oh my god, how could he complain about a girl's weight? Baby is so thin, how could he say she's heavy? Is he faking it?!"
"Thanks to the little cheetah for his help. I feel sorry for Baby and Dilraba."
Xu hope was indeed nodding.
When it comes to disliking Huang Zitao, she and her roommates are on the same side.
Afterwards, everyone set off for the second mission location.
On the bus,
Deng Chao flipped through Gu Qing's treasure bag, from Bai Juyi's poetry collection to safflower oil, from Huang Huifeng's Fujian dialect to the joyful memories of "iPartment".
From distributing White Rabbit candies to everyone to Han Han's comment, "You would have been an idol when we were kids."
The entire journey was relaxed and enjoyable, filled with laughter.
Xu hope did not participate in this heated discussion about White Rabbit candy and safflower oil.
Her eyes never left the screen, quickly searching for Yang Ying's figure in every panoramic shot.
The camera positions on the bus were scattered, mainly close-ups of Deng Chao and Gu Qing, with very few panoramic shots.
She only caught a glimpse of Yang Ying in a fleeting panoramic view.
She sat in the front row, tilting her head slightly, her eyelashes curved, and looked back at Gu Qing through the gap in the seat.
Before the CP (couple pairing) ended badly, Xu Xi and the sisters in the group could savor this level of "sweetness" for a whole month.
They would analyze under a microscope the angle at which Yang Ying turned her head, the number of seconds she lingered, and the subtle changes in the curve of her lips.
Then, she wrote a long essay of several thousand words, arguing how much unspoken emotion and unexpressed longing were hidden in that glance back.
But—and there is a contrast!
When Deng Chao was distributing White Rabbit milk candies, Gu Qing took the candy, casually unwrapped it, and then naturally handed it to Zhao Liying next to her.
The two of them didn't say a word the whole time, and their movements were so fluid that it looked like they had done it hundreds of times.
That unspoken understanding, that physical intimacy that precedes conscious connection, cannot be faked; it is the "real sweetness" that CP fans crave most yet cannot force.
If there hadn't been prior notice, Xu hope could have comforted herself.
All of Gu Qing and Zhao Liying's intimate interactions were acting, scripted, and deliberately done for Yang Ying's benefit; he was expressing his jealousy in the most clumsy way.
But now,
Gu Qing and Yang Ying greeted each other openly and politely, their smiles natural and showing no signs of misunderstanding.
How could he be deliberately provoking Yang Ying?
The natural physical contact between him and Zhao Liying, whispering to each other, sitting shoulder to shoulder...
It instantly brought back memories of the first season of Running Man for Xu hope.
Back then, Yang Ying stood next to Gu Qing, but now it's Zhao Liying!
What happened next was even more devastating.
Dragon boat training, stretching on the shore.
Throughout the entire training process, the program only showed Gu Qing and Yang Ying in wide shots.
In the next dragon boat training session, everyone went into the water, and the boat capsized.
The Running Man production team showcased an amazing level of editing in this segment.
It's unclear which amazing cameraman managed to capture such accurate underwater close-ups of Gu Qing, Zhao Liying, and Yang Ying amidst the chaos of everyone frantically falling into the water.
Slow-motion underwater footage
Gu Qing wrapped his left arm around Zhao Liying's waist in the water and lifted her up to the surface. His movements were swift and decisive, and his face was full of heartache and urgency.
He pushed Zhao Liying to the side of the overturned boat and settled her down, then turned around and grabbed Yang Ying's struggling wrist.
The action was swift and decisive, but it reflected the calmness and efficiency of the rescue, without any unnecessary pauses or additional reassurance.
After securing them, he turned around and went to help others.
My roommates were completely captivated by the romance of this water rescue.
Xu hope closed her eyes.
She didn't want to watch anymore.
She climbed into bed, pulled up the covers, and covered herself completely from head to toe.
Inside the blankets, the phone screen lit up.
Xu hope opened WeChat and clicked into the couple group that had just been renamed "The Great Remarriage" before this episode aired.
The screen was deathly silent.
The last message was displayed at the very beginning of the program—
"They greeted us! They really greeted us! The little brother called Baby 'sister'!"
Below were dozens of replies filled with screams and cries, each accompanied by a screen full of exclamation marks and crying emojis.
And then—that was it.
A long silence fell over the group.
This was hyped up to the skies by marketing accounts across the internet before it even aired.
The variety show, dubbed "the greatest remarriage in the history of Chinese entertainment" by the women in the group, doesn't seem to be as grand and wonderful as people who have been eagerly anticipating it have imagined.
The hour-and-a-half-long program finally came to an end.
Xu hope lifted a corner of the blanket, turned on her phone again, and logged into the podcast.
Her fingers trembled slightly, whether from the stuffiness of the bed or from some bad premonition that was being confirmed little by little.
On the trending search list,
She flipped through the pages one by one from top to bottom.
"Gu Qing takes off his clothes", "Gu Qing and Zhao Liying are so sweet", "Running Man team spirit reappears", ... "Zhao Liying falls into the water and Gu Qing rescues her".
Every post is filled with screenshots and GIFs, and the comment section is full of netizens screaming and gushing over the sweet moments.
She scrolled down, her fingers moving slower and slower.
The seventh name she had been searching for finally appeared – “Gu Qingyang greets you”.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she was just about to breathe a sigh of relief.
The next second she blinked, and the trending topic had already slid to ninth place.
In the blink of an eye, two more were pushed off its platform.
Xu hope: "..."
Silent for a long time.
My eyes feel like they're blocked by something, and nothing is coming out.
"Ding-dong—" The phone rang once.
Xu hope suddenly grabbed her phone, unlocked it with her fingerprint, and entered the "Great Remarriage" group.
After an hour and a half of dead silence, the women in the group finally started to go crazy.
Messages flooded in, one after another, the screen filled with exclamation marks and angry emojis like a torrent finally erupting from under a manhole cover.
"It's fake! Everything on this show is fake! It's all scripted!"
"Gu Qing and Yang Ying never made up! They were forced into it by the production team!"
"That's right! My brother said in a previous interview that he always follows a script when recording variety shows."
He only lowered his head today because he was promoting the movie; that smile was faked, it was just for show! Look how forced his smile is!
"Yes, yes, that's right!"
The message started flooding the screen; everyone was vying to speak, each trying to drown out their inner unease with their voice.
"The show forced him to sell a CP (couple pairing) with Zhao Liying. This artificial sweetener is disgusting! Where's the sweetness?!"
Is it considered sweet when he ties her coat?
Is it considered sweet when he just puts his arm around her shoulder?
That was all designed by the production team! It's scripted! It's fake! Ladies, wake up!
What is the most unacceptable thing for CP fans?
Very simple,
The couples I ship either love each other to the point of obsession or hate each other to the core.
But... we absolutely can't make up so easily!
What they pursue is 'perfection' and 'uniqueness'.
A life of mediocrity would be the greatest insult to their two years of waiting, a complete denial of all their obsessions and perseverance!
The irrational CP fans besieged Angelababy's blog.
"Are you a coward, Yang Ying?! Why did you just stand there watching Zhao Xiaodao sit next to your brother?! Why didn't you rush over there?!"
"Can't you take the initiative a little?! What are you laughing at?! Shouldn't you be crying?!"
"How can you still laugh when you see him so intimate with another woman! Are you really that generous?! You're being generous in the wrong place!"
"Who gave you permission to make up with your brother?! Speak up! Did we give you permission?!"
"You're not allowed to make up! We won't accept it!!"
Yang Ying's blog comment section was flooded overnight by these CP fans who were so angry that they lost their minds.
This group of crazy CP fans was quickly and ruthlessly purged by the fans of the darling of the CP.
Why were the CP (couple) fans so powerful in the past?
It is precisely because of their torturous love story that they are able to attract the 'sense of justice' of neutral netizens.
But now,
As Gu Qing and Yang Xiang finished greeting each other on the show, they acted as if nothing had happened.
The beliefs of these CP fans have crumbled.
Outsiders look at them like they're idiots; the male's fans hate them, and the female's fans hate them too.
My father doesn't love me, and my grandmother doesn't care for me.
Xu hope cried all night, and when she opened the group chat the next day, a red exclamation mark appeared.
"The group... has been disbanded!"
……
