Nan Mu still thought that Song Yiming’s reason was a little far-fetched.

“How urgent is it? To the point that she doesn’t even have time to say congratulations?”

“Then you have to ask Lin Shanchu herself.” “You should go get busy.”

Nan Mu decided to ask Huo Xunzhou.

Huo Xunzhou was talking to Yun Wu backstage while Yun Yi was sitting beside him.

When Nan Mu entered the dressing room, he saw Yun Wu craning her neck and looking toward the door.

Yun Wu looked disappointed when she saw Nan Mu came in. “Where’s

Shanshan?”

“She left first due to an emergency.” Nan Mu immediately changed the topic after saying that. “Congratulations.”

“Thank you.” Yun Wu forced a smile.

Nan Mu turned to look at Huo Xunzhou. “Pack up and let’s go grab something to eat.”

Yun Wu carried the the bouquet of flowers and walked out.

Yun Yi pushed Huo Xunzhou from behind.

As they walked, Huo Xunzhou suddenly called out, “Big brother.” “What’s wrong?” Yun Yi leaned over to listen to him.

“What did you say to her?” When he was on stage, he saw Yun Yi and Lin Shanchu talking, but she ignored him afterwards.

Yun Yi glanced at Yun Wu and lowered his voice. “Nothing much. She’s good friends with Yun Wu, so I just chatted with her and thanked her for taking care of Yun Wii.”

“Really?” Huo Xunzhou asked casually.

Lin Shanchu would not have reacted that way if that was what he had said.

Yun Yi sighed. “Xunzhou, do you know that you sound even more annoying than that brat Yun Jin when you use that tone?”

Huo Xunzhou curled his lip expressionlessly.

Yun Yi continued, “…I was just testing your relationship with her. She said that she wasn’t familiar with you and then ignored me.”

Huo Xunzhou’s face darkened.

He was obviously unhappy.

“You’re the one who insisted that I say it.” Yun Yi’s tone carried a hint of schadenfreude.

Huo Xunzhou pushed Yun Yi away and drove his electric wheelchair forward.

“Third Brother?” Yun Wu called out with a puzzled expression.

Huo Xunzhou ignored everyone and headed straight for the door.

“Big brother, why did you provoke Third Brother?” Yun Wu turned to Yun Yi.

Yun Yi smiled and shook his head before he said mysteriously, “I’m not the one who made him angry.”

Yun Wu was perplexed.

It was so quiet inside the car that one could hear a pin drop.

Qi Cheng winked at He Xiang through the rearview mirror.

After pondering for a while, He Xiang asked, “Sister Lin, wouldn’t it be inappropriate for us to leave without saying a word?”

Lin Shanchu turned to look out of the window without even turning her head.

“Or what? Do you want to stay there for supper?”

He Xiang could vaguely sense that Lin Shanchu was not in a good mood.

However, wasn’t she fine at the show just now?

As Lin Shanchu looked out the window at the streetscape moving backwards continously, she muttered, “Anyvvay, we have to go home after the fun ends. Everyone is going in different directions. What difference does it make if we greet each other or not?”

Lin Shanchu’s voice was very soft, so He Xiang only heard the latter half of her words.

She could hear the sadness in Lin Shanchu’s tone, but she did not understand Lin Shanchu’s incoherent words.

He Xiang looked up at Qi Cheng.

Qi Cheng shook his head at her through the rearview mirror, indicating that they should just leave her alone.

It was already after midnight when they reached home.

Lin Shanchu had set her phone to silent mode during the show earlier. When she looked at her phone now, she realized that there were many unread WeChat messages.

The latest message was from Huo Xunzhou.

Huo Xunzhou: [We’ll hold a celebration dinner at Yong Shui Pavilion at 8:00

p.m. tomorrow.]

Yun Wu: [Shanshan, why did you suddenly leave? Did something happen?] Huo Chaosheng: [Was it fun on-site? Did Third Brother gave you a hard time?]

Wen Huan: [Can you reveal the spoiler for the next week’s plot of ‘Top Feast’? [Good sisters.jpg]]

Wen Huan was a loyal audience of “Top Feast”. In order to ask her for a spoiler, he even sent out this kind of emoticon.

Lin Shanchu replied to Wen Huan: [I’ve signed an agreement. Spoilers are prohibited.]

Then, she replied to Huo Chaosheng: [It’s fun.]

When she scrolled to the top and saw the messages from Huo Xunzhou and Yun Wu, she hesitated for a while before replying to the two of them.

She replied to Huo Xunzhou: [Okay.]

She replied to Yun Wu: [I’m fine. Congratulations.]

Yun Wu replied instantly: [It’s good that you’re fine. See you at the celebration dinner tomorrow night!]

Lin Shanchu was lost in thought as she looked at the message Yun Wu sent. Yun Wu quickly sent another message: [Good night. Sleep early.]

When Lin Shanchu came to her senses, she saw the message she had just sent: [Good night, sweet dreams-]

It was mentioned in books that in human nature, the deepest instinct was the desire to be valued by others.

What was nature?

It was destiny that one could not abandon no matter how many lies they told.

The desire to establish intimate relationships with others, the desire to have family, friends, and lovers, the desire to be valued and the desire to be loved. These were all part of nature.

Lin Shanchu thought that she could give up on all these things.

However, she now understood that people could not go against their nature. People could only deceive themselves.

It was her most severe trial, but she could just face it herself.

There was no need to implicate others.

“Top Feast”‘s Sunday update coincided with the finals of “My Stage”. A portion of the audience went to watch “My Stage”, causing the real-time viewership ratings for “Top Feast” to drop significantly compared to two days ago.

When the audience watched “Top Feast” the next day, they realized that Huo

Chaosheng was also in this drama.

Both of them were trending again with the hastag #HuoChaoshengLinShanchu.

[Hold high the banner “ChuSheng” ship!] [Netizens from the capital send their congratulations.]

[Ah… Aren’t they a little too brazen?]

[I ship their friendship! What’s wrong with that? There’s nothing wrong with that.]

Some oblivious viewers were confused. [Do these two know each other? Is there any gossip between them? Why are you all so happy?]

The enthusiastic netizens pointed out the previous gossips to the audience.

Just like that, the netizens pompously made “ChuSheng” ship trending.

Netizens who caused trouble would never be absent.

They tagged Lu Shiyuan under the photo of Lin Shanchu and Huo Chaosheng:

[@LuShiyuan, come and watch your fiancée’s new drama! [Green Frog]]

The green frog’s expression at the end was not a hint, but it was a clear indication that he had been cuckolded.

Huo Chaosheng lay in bed with nothing to do. He scrolled through Weibo and saw this post before tagging Lu Shiyuan.

[@LuShiyuan, why don’t you help your fiancée promote her new drama?] The marketing account instantly rushed over to ride on the popularity.

After the post became popular, the hashtag

#HuoChaoshengSentAMessageToLuShiyuan ended up on the trending search list.

As a result, Lu Shiyuan could not play dumb even if he wanted to.

Lu Shiyuan sat in front of his desk, staring at the tablet with a cold gaze. Zhou Yan stood at the side and felt that the pressure in the office had dropped quite a bit.

To his surprise, Lu Shiyuan did not smash anything in rage this time.

After a while, Lu Shiyuan said calmly, “Tianzhou Media will be having a celebration dinner tonight, right?”

Zhou Yan replied, “Yes, 8:00 p.m. tonight at Yong Shui Pavilion..”
