Chapter 151
Chapter 151
The crew had collected enough materials for this episode, so the director knocked on everyone’s doors and told them that the cameras were off for the day.
Meanwhile, after waiting in the villa next door the entire day, Chenzi finally got to come over and see Jun Zishu again.
“Big Sis Jun, Big Sis Jun, I heard them saying that you cooked and that it was incredibly delicious. Is that true?”
Chenzi never knew that Jun Zishu could cook. She would typically only see Jun Zishu order food deliveries or eat instant noodles.
“That’s right.”
“But I’ve never seen you cook before.”
“I’ve been living by myself, so there’s not a lot of point in cooking.”
“I guess that makes sense.”
After digging through Jun Zishu’s suitcase, Chenzi started helping Jun Zishu remove her makeup.
Yu Fanshu was also getting her makeup removed. When she heard Jun Zishu’s words, her heart moved a little.
After removing Jun Zishu’s makeup, Chenzi retrieved Jun Zishu’s pajamas from the suitcase and put them on the bed.
“I’m off, then, Big Sis Jun. Call me if you need anything.”
“Mhm, go ahead.”
After Chenzi left, Jun Zishu nodded to Yu Fanshu before entering the bathroom.
In reality, they could choose not to sleep here. Tang Tongtong, for example, had left for a commercial shoot as soon as he was done here.
When Jun Zishu got out of the bath, Yu Fanshu’s two assistants had already left, so only the two of them were in the room now.
“I’m done, Teacher. You can go wash up now.”
Jun Zishu had washed her hair, so Yu Fanshu saw drops of water dripping from her hair and onto her collarbone, the water droplets leaving a moist trail as they made their descent.
The collar of Jun Zishu’s pajamas was a little wide. Moreover, possibly because she was about to sleep, Jun Zishu did not wear a bra inside. Thus, Yu Fanshu quickly two small dots appeared on Jun Zishu’s pajamas.
Feeling her face inexplicably heating up, Yu Fanshu quickly grabbed her pajamas and made her way to the bathroom. Then, when she recalled that Jun Zishu had been showering here just a minute ago, her face grew even hotter.
“How strange…” Yu Fanshu muttered as she began concentrating on washing her hair.
When Yu Fanshu came out, Jun Zishu was lying on the bed, fiddling with her phone.
“What are you up to?”
“Checking Weibo. We are still a hot topic.”
“It’ll slowly die down,” Yu Fanshu said before turning on the hairdryer. Then, after drying her hair partially, she laid down on her bed.
Discussions online were still ongoing. Ever since Yu Fanshu made her Weibo post yesterday, the comments it received kept increasing. It still showed no signs of stopping even now.
Besides the five factions Jun Zishu thought up yesterday, she discovered a new faction today—the faction that supported the Twins ship.
JunFan Forever: I changed my ID. I am officially a Twins fan from today onwards. I think this might be the beginnings of a cult. My initial thought was that this ship was strange. However, after thinking it over, I started finding the ship cute. A seductive empress and her delicate wife?
Twins Supporter: The thought of Popular Film Empress x Amateur Eye Candy excites me.
Although Jun Zishu found that most people were still badmouthing her, the current situation was much better than before.
“Jun Ling.”
“Hmm?”
“It’s best if you don’t agree to any advertisement offers your company asks you to take during this period. Wait until I snatch you over. Of course, if you think it’s a good opportunity for you, you can also discuss it with me first.”
“No need. So long as you don’t stand me up, I’ll pack my bags and go with you as soon as you give me the OK,” Jun Zishu said, repeating the words Chenzi said to her that day as she patted herself on the chest.
“I definitely won’t stand you up.”
A Week in Love’s TV crew continued its promotion efforts, and it made a similar post on its Weibo just like yesterday. As the program had already attracted a lot of attention even before it started airing, its Weibo Post promptly attracted a lot of viewers.
A Week in Love: It seems everyone was shocked by the previous ship. Well, we’ll announce the second ship today—Millie & Tang Tangtongtong. Was anyone looking forward to this combination?
The comment section instantly exploded with activity once more.
Millie was a veteran singer. Although she wasn’t at the top of the industry, her cute looks and talented singing earned her a lot of male fans. As for Tang Tongtong, after playing the leading role in a recent hit drama, he became the first love of many female viewers.
In reality, Tang Tongtong was taking a big risk by attending this variety show. After all, the path he walked on was the boyfriend route. If he attended this dating show, he ran the risk of upsetting his female fans. It could also lead to a clash between his and Millie’s fans. However, if the situation didn’t get too ugly, this controversy could also propel his fame to greater heights.
After sharing the post on her account, Jun Zishu also liked the post. Then, when she checked her Weibo homepage, one new follower attracted her attention.
“Huh? You’re following me now, Teacher? Isn’t that too conspicuous?”
“It’s just the right timing.”
When Jun Zishu clicked into Yu Fanshu’s homepage, the first thing she noticed was Yu Fanshu’s follower count of 50 million. Then, she noticed that the follow count that had originally been at 0 had changed to 1. It was a very eye-catching change.
As a side note, the original owner had a pitiful number of fans. Her Weibo account only had around 400,000 followers. Moreover, a huge majority of them were haters whose sole purpose in life was to ridicule her.
“I think we might get on trending again.”
Sure enough, #YuFanshuFollowedJunLing quickly became a trending topic on Weibo.
Twinkling Stars: My face hurts from the consecutive face-slappings. How did our angel get mesmerized by that bastard? Uuuu…
Little Star: @Twinkling Stars, stay calm! She might only be doing it for promotional purposes!
Fragrance in April: I don’t think Fanshu is doing it for promotional purposes. She has never followed any of the actors she worked with in her previous movies, so how could she possibly follow Jun Ling solely for the sake of promoting a variety show? Not to mention, Fanshu chose to attend a dating show as soon as she returned. What else could be impossible?
Cupid’s Arrow: Ahhhh!!! What’s good about that woman?!?! Did Jun Ling save the galaxy in her previous life? She must have, right?! Otherwise, how did she get the same face as my Fanshu?! How did she get on a dating show with my Fanshu?!
“Teacher, they’re saying that I might have saved the galaxy in my last life for you to treat me so well. Honestly, I think so as well. I must’ve done a lot of good deeds to meet you in this life,” Jun Zishu said, smiling. She honestly thought that Yu Fanshu treated her very well.
Yu Fanshu’s fans behaved as usual. However, Jun Zishu noticed a few of them posting some interesting comments. Specifically, these people begged Yu Fanshu for new selfies since she had the time to follow others on Weibo.
“Huh? They started arguing again.”
After refreshing Yu Fanshu’s homepage, she found that the comment section had taken a strange turn.
Two Bowls of Rice: Can you Little Stars stop boasting about your Fanshu? Everyone knows Fanshu is excellent, but can you please respect others? What do you mean by “saving the galaxy to get a face similar to your Fanshu?” Blergh. Do you think Fanshu is God? Does Jun Ling have to kowtow and thank Fanshu for having a face similar to hers?
White Deer: This is purely from a passerby’s perspective, but you Little Stars are indeed blowing Yu Fanshu out of proportion.
Dududududu: Someone finally said it… Honestly, Yu Fanshu’s fanbase is no different than a cult. Most of the trending topics recently are all about her. Her acting skills are just so-so. There are still plenty who are better than her.
Only Love Fanshu: @Two Bowls of Rice, One Little Star’s opinion doesn’t represent all of us. Please think rationally and objectively. Also, my Fanshu has always been excellent.
Only Love Fanshu: @Dududududu, don’t read if you don’t like them. Is anyone begging you to check Fanshu’s trending topics? Also, what do you mean by “so-so”? Our Fanshu’s acting skills are publicly recognized. You won’t even catch up to her even if you trained for decades.
Seeing an argument abruptly starting in the comment section, Jun Zishu couldn’t help but feel that Yu Fanshu’s fans were really ferocious.
“You don’t need to mind online comments too much. No matter how good a celebrity is, they are bound to have some haters,” Yu Fanshu said as she got ready to sleep.
“Some people are saying that your fanbase is like a cult.”
“There are indeed some fanatical ones, but every celebrity has such fans. These fans think that their idol is the best, and they will snap as soon as anyone says anything that doesn’t match their ideals. The only thing I can do is try to make them behave.”
“You seem very calm about this, Teacher.”
“It’s probably because I don’t have much of a desire for fans. I only entered the entertainment industry because I liked acting. I didn’t join seeking fame. Moreover, my health isn’t all that good, so I don’t have the energy to focus on other things. My only focus is to display what I think is best to everyone. I don’t really care what others think of me.”
Jun Zishu felt that it was amazing that Yu Fanshu could have such a mentality at her age. Typically, almost nobody at her age could accomplish such a feat.
Though, this was perhaps what made Yu Fanshu attractive to others. Yu Fanshu was always standing there calmly with a faint smile on her face, never getting influenced by her surroundings.
“That’s a great mentality to have. At the very least, you won’t ever lose yourself. I will also try to behave this way,” Jun Zishu said. In reality, though, she already had a similar mentality.
In the meantime, the argument online was still ongoing. The Little Star army was continuously strengthening, and it was gradually beating the opposition into a retreat.
I Love Tongtong: Wait, why is everyone talking about Yu Fanshu? Is nobody going to talk about our Tongtong & Millie ship?
“Teacher, it seems that what you just did has overshadowed Millie and Tongtong.”
“The program already has a lot of publicity, so it’s fine. Stop looking at your phone and rest early.”
“Okay.”
After hearing Jun Zishu’s response, Yu Fanshu closed her eyes. In reality, she hadn’t been entirely truthful with Jun Zishu. Or, more specifically, she had neglected to mention that acting was no longer her sole purpose in staying in the entertainment circle now.
