The reporters laughed, saying, "That bonus didn’t even land in my hand, we’re here to chase after top stories and explosive news."
Zhou Lan waved his hand, "Would you give these two some space, please? There’s plenty of time in the future, okay? Join a group chat first, we can talk details later. Behave yourselves, anyone who dares badmouth Xiao Yun behind her back, no red envelopes for them!"
"That said, you still gotta send those red envelopes, can’t skimp on that!" the reporters chuckled.
...
Meanwhile, the internet was still abuzz with lively discussions.
The news about Zhou Yun and Song Chi could be traced back to two years ago.
It’s quite magical, the first time their romance rumors surfaced was due to the coincidence of staying in the same hotel, and this time the rumors have been substantiated as they walked into the hotel holding hands.
Some jokingly said the hotel should hire them as spokespersons.
Zhou Yun was scrolling through Weibo comments, unable to contain her laughter.
Seeing this, Song Chi expressed disbelief.
"You find this so amusing?"
"Amusing indeed, what’s there to be unhappy about?" said Zhou Yun. "Nobody’s cursing me out."
Song Chi was somewhat surprised, asking, "No one’s cursing you? That doesn’t seem right."
Zhou Yun said, "I simply ignore those who badmouth me, they’re just jealous."
Song Chi: "... Alright then."
Zhou Yun said, "We’ve really gone overboard, announcing it just like that."
"It was a matter of time," Song Chi said. "My phone has been blown up with messages."
"How come I didn’t hear it?" asked Zhou Yun in surprise.
"I put it on silent a while ago," Song Chi charged his phone, "I don’t feel like replying just yet."
Zhou Yun sighed, "Same here."
Song Chi: "Director Kang even accused us of being inconsiderate, having to make this public right before ’Heart Inquiry’ premieres."
"Oh?"
"He said it affects how the audience watches the drama," said Song Chi.
Zhou Yun came to a realization, "That’s true!"
Song Chi said, "What’s the big deal? In the show, you and I are in a tragic love story, never ending up together."
Zhou Yun asked, "What did Director Kang say?"
Song Chi said, "Director Kang believes that because of this, if we’re together in real life, it lessens the agony for viewers."
"..." Zhou Yun said, "Once the show airs, I have to let the audience know how much Director Kang loves to twist the knife in their hearts."
Song Chi: "If nothing goes wrong, ’Heart Inquiry’ might air at the end of this month, we’re waiting for the TV station’s schedule."
"Really? Doesn’t that mean we have to do promotions? Oh no, I might not have time for the promotions during that period!" Zhou Yun widened her eyes, her face showing a "what to do" expression.
"Aren’t you scheduled to appear on Lew Yuan’s show? You can start warming up there," Song Chi said. "Su Yan and I will have time, she’s not shooting any dramas."
Zhou Yun uttered an "oh" and said, "That’s good then. After all, she’s the lead actress, as long as she has time all is well."
Song Chi laughed and said, "For me, you are the lead actress."
Zhou Yun: "Don’t say that; if Su Yan hears, she’ll be fuming mad."
"I bet she’s already fuming mad seeing the news of us holding hands today," Song Chi said, "Hasn’t she been always worried that we’d steal her thunder?"
"Don’t say that, she’s just worried about me," said Zhou Yun. "Wonder how she’s feeling now."
...
Of course, Su Yan was not feeling well at all.
Her mood today was as disgusting and uncomfortable as if soaked in shit.
She even didn’t want to cooperate with the promotions for ’Heart Inquiry’ anymore.
She lashed out at her agent, "Zhou Yun is just trying to annoy me! ’Heart Inquiry’ is airing at the end of the month, and she had to pick this time to assert her dominance, shifting all attention to herself. Once ’Heart Inquiry’ starts airing, who will still pay attention to me?"
"Don’t get angry, getting angry will easily cause wrinkles," her agent He Ting immediately consoled her. "Don’t you even think about it, you are the undisputed female lead of ’Heart Inquiry’. Don’t, out of a fit of rage, ignore the drama you’ve worked so hard on."
"Sister Ting, is it me who doesn’t care?" Su Yan said. "Do you think by promoting the drama now, I’ll just be making a wedding dress for someone else? In ’Heart Inquiry’, her screentime isn’t much less than mine. Song Chi likes her, and who knows, when it comes to editing, they might cut less of her scenes and more of mine, making her equal to me!"
