Chu Fan didn’t respond, but pulled her close and slowly kissed her lips.
However, the phone rang suddenly, distracting Shutong as she picked up her phone. Meanwhile, Chu Fan’s phone was also vibrating.
“Tongtong, something terrible has happened! You and Chu Fan have been photographed together, and you’re trending on social media!”
Wen Shasha’s voice came through the phone.
Chu Fan also received a call from home, mentioning the same thing.
The show wasn’t even halfway through yet!
Before, when their popularity wasn’t high, someone leaked rumors that they were dating in real life, but it was only discussed within a small circle. Now, photos of them together were trending, which was indeed hard to explain.
Shutong, preoccupied with the confidentiality agreement, immediately opened Weibo to check the trending topics.
Sure enough, she saw her and Chu Fan’s names at the bottom of the trending list.
The blogger who broke the news usually focused on entertainment gossip, but for some reason, he had recently taken a liking to the ‘Orange CP’ and had posted several Weibo posts about them.
The video he just posted was only a dozen seconds long; it showed Shutong and Chu Fan walking out of Wen Shasha’s store and getting into a car together.
Normally, fans of the ‘Orange CP’ were looking for sweet moments, but this time, they were directly fed a lot of sweetness, making the topic extremely popular.
“Ahhhh! This is Wen Shasha’s shop, right?! The two got into the same car! They’re living together!”
“Has nobody noticed that most of the casual clothes in ‘Rebirth’ are from Chu Fan’s fashion company?! If the Orange CP doesn’t end up together, I’ll eat shit on my head!”
“I have a feeling that Lou Shutong is just trying to ride the wave of popularity. The two of them look very tense in the video.”
“I also think Chu Fan doesn’t look too good, and Lou Shutong is driving? That’s a bit strange!”
“I don’t care, the Orange CP is just so sweet! They’re definitely together! They’re a perfect match!”
“Lou Shutong has hooked up with Chu Fan; this car is beyond her means!”
“Wen Shasha and the others just posted a group photo. Several guests had dinner together today, so the Orange CP fans can take a break. Lou Shutong and Zhou Ye are actually quite compatible, the ‘study room CP’, always typing away on the laptop together, hehe!”
“I think this is just the show deliberately guiding the narrative. Look at the positioning in this group photo; several popular CPs are standing together. Does that mean they’ve all become a couple? Impossible!”
“I’m all too familiar with this tactic. It was the same last season. All the popular CPs were interacting and flirting on Weibo, constantly posting sweet moments to gain attention. But in the later stages of the show, all the popular CPs met their tragic ends!”
“An insider here, please don’t follow the Sha-Wen CP, or you’ll be heartbroken. Also, two guests are missing from the group photo!”
…
Shutong didn’t even need to explain anything; netizens had already shifted the direction of public opinion.
She also got a photo of them together from Wen Shasha and posted it online.
Those who were shipping them continued to ship them, while those who didn’t believe it still thought that they were just manipulating the fans.
Shutong scrolled down the comments and saw Chu Fan in a pink T-shirt and floral shorts.
She suppressed a laugh and handed the phone to Chu Fan, saying, “Your dark history has been dug up.”
Chu Fan glanced at it, not caring, but seeing her smile, he also smiled, “Your address has been found too.”
“Hmm?”
Shutong looked down and, sure enough, in the comments section where Chu Fan’s photo was posted, someone was digging into the neighborhood where Chu Fan lived, which seemed to be the same place as where Shutong lived.
As for how the other party found out, nobody knew; after all, netizens are always incredibly resourceful.
Shutong thought for a moment and realized that she might have posted videos or photos of the neighborhood before, inadvertently revealing the address.
She didn’t want netizens’ attention to stay there any longer, so she immediately picked up Chu Fan’s phone and posted a video on his Weibo account.
The video was a behind-the-scenes clip of Chu Fan’s cameo appearance in ‘Rebirth’, which she had filmed.
Sure enough, the video quickly gained popularity after it was released, successfully diverting the attention of netizens and CP fans.
