Chapter 163
“Jun Ling… Can you do it?”
Coco had watched Jun Zishu’s past performances before, and Jun Zishu’s acting skills were truly…exquisite.
They were even more exquisite when compared to Yu Fanshu’s acting skills.
“Please believe in me, Coco. Miss Yu is an excellent teacher,” Jun Zishu said affirmatively. Other than her inability to express love properly, every other aspect of her acting skills could already rival Yu Fanshu. She was simply holding back in front of Yu Fanshu right now.
“Alright, then,” Coco said, sighing. Then, she looked toward Yu Fanshu and asked, “When will you sign the contract for that script?”
“The film crew will send me the script once they are done editing it. We can sign the contract after I verify the edited script. They will contact you about it when the time comes.”
“Okay. Just don’t forget that I exist,” Coco said. She did not wish to experience an early retirement at all.
…
When Friday arrived, A Week in Love aired on time, and many people watched it.
Just like Yu Fanshu expected, Jun Zishu made a reversal in her situation.
Three hours after the first episode finished airing, Jun Zishu’s follower count on Weibo had gone from 400,000 to 500,000.
“This is only the beginning,” Yu Fanshu said, smiling. Her girl would only become better and better from now on.
“Mhm.”
Say For Example: Mamamia! I’m changing my status from hater to fan! A woman who can cook is simply wonderful! Ahhh! It looks so delicious!!!
Changed My Mind: Wahhh!! These two scummy men! After toying with our feelings, they actually started dating each other without saying a word!
Big Wave: Why did I decide to watch this variety show? I got fed so much dog food that I’m about to puke! Watching Jun Ling’s cooking also made me hungry! That’s a physical and psychological double-blow!
Hooray for Twins: I can’t believe Yu Fanshu managed to discern Little Angel Jun Ling’s abstract drawings! If this isn’t love, I don’t know what it is!
Only Love Fanshu: I’m supporting the Twins ship for sure now! It’s so sweet!!! Although Fanshu looks like she has a gentle personality, she is a mild and aloof person in reality. The way she treats others and how she treats Jun Ling is completely different! I think Fanshu truly likes Jun Ling! I bet they are also good friends off-camera!
When Jun Ling saw the last comment, she very much agreed with the commenter’s opinion. She indeed shared a good relationship with Yu Fanshu off-camera. Their relationship was so good that they even slept on the same bed.
After reading the comments for a while, Jun Zishu and Yu Fanshu watched the variety show’s first episode together on the bed. Even though they had been on set in person, there was still a difference between watching a broadcast and attending the variety show in person.
Jun Zishu and Yu Fanshu received a lot of camera time on the first episode. The parts where Jun Zishu cooked for the others and made dessert for Yu Fanshu were specially highlighted. After them came Lemon and Jiu Xi.
Unbeknownst to Jun Zishu and Yu Fanshu, the two boys had bickered and argued many times throughout the filming session. They behaved like kindergarten children, and their interactions resulted in many comedic scenes. The part where they did the dishes for the first time was especially funny.
Eventually, the episode ended with a still shot of Yu Fanshu smiling when she received her exclusive dessert from Jun Zishu. The smile looked bright and nice.
“Did I behave so obviously at that time?” Yu Fanshu coughed lightly when she saw her face getting displayed on the screen.
“Yes. I can feel that you were very happy. Do you know what I was thinking at that time?”
“What?”
“I wanted to cook delicious food for you all the time. I felt happy just from the thought of you being happy,” Jun Zishu said with a straight face.
Yu Fanshu blushed a little, thinking that Jun Zishu was teasing her again. She also couldn’t help but wonder who was teaching who how to love. She simply couldn’t resist Jun Zishu’s barrage of sweet talks.
Meanwhile, many netizens had also noticed the happiness Yu Fanshu expressed.
Quiet Silence: I can’t be the only one to notice Empress Yu’s smile at the end, right? I can’t get enough of her beauty! I’m definitely supporting this ship from today onward!
Little Angel Jun Ling: !!!! That’s one more reason to support my little cutie now! She’s truly the perfect wife material! Why are you so excellent, Jun Ling! Not only do you look good, but you even know how to cook! Uuuu!
I’m looking forward to see a better you!
Twinkling Stars: Screenshot! Screenshot! Screenshot! It’s been over two years since any new photos of Fanshu have appeared! She didn’t even take any selfies after returning! I can only rely on screenshots to continue living now! QwQ
Twins Forever: Awooo! These two little sweethearts are giving me diabetes! But please don’t stop! Please continue showering us with sugar! The way Fanshu looks at Jun Ling is so affectionate!
Most of the comments on Weibo were positive, but there were also some filled with malicious intent.
End My Kidney: I watched this show with the hope of seeing an interesting drama since I am neither a Twins supporter nor a loyal supporter of Jun Ling or Yu Fanshu. Fortunately, I wasn’t disappointed. All I want to know now is how Yu Fanshu’s Little Stars are feeling. Do your faces hurt from all the face-slapping? You people lambasted Jun Ling for her terrible acting skills before and said all sorts of mean things. Yet, now, your idol is going to become a couple with your most hated enemy. How ironic is that?
123123: That’s right. You Little Stars made such noise before, even when Jun Ling’s fans were willing to shake hands and let bygones be bygones. Tsk, tsk, tsk. If I were a Little Star, I’d be dying from embarrassment right now.
Has Jun Ling Quit Yet: I used to think that apart from having poor acting skills, low EQ, below-average IQ, and a propensity to blindly imitate those better than her, there was nothing else bad about Jun Ling. However, I now realize that she also tends to curry favor from others. Not only did she get paired with Empress Yu on a dating show, but she even jumped ship to Empress Yu’s company. I refuse to believe that she doesn’t have a sugar daddy. Having such a person remain on-screen really hurts my eyes.
Potato Cake: How funny, lololol. Traitors criticizing Jun Ling before, aren’t you ashamed of switching sides now? Do you really not feel grossed out by this Twins ship? If we are talking purely about acting skills, Jun Ling doesn’t even have the qualifications to receive Yu Fanshu’s help. Empress Yu must have a really good temper. Jun Ling truly is shameless and disgusting.
When Yu Fanshu saw these comments, she furrowed her brows in anger.
In reality, there were even more excessive and unpleasant comments, such as those that involved Jun Zishu’s parents.
Yu Fanshu reported every one of these comments without fail. However, the more comments she read, the angrier she got.
“Stop reading. There’s no need to get angry over these people,” Jun Zishu said as she took the phone out of Yu Fanshu’s hands. She also couldn’t help but be exasperated by her cute girlfriend. Previously, Yu Fanshu had told her not to get angry over these comments. Yet, now, Yu Fanshu herself was getting angry over these comments.
“How can these people make up nonsense like this?” Yu Fanshu asked in a huff. She could face harsh comments directed toward herself calmly, but she couldn’t tolerate people slandering Jun Zishu.
“That’s how the internet works. People don’t need to be responsible for their own words because of the anonymity the internet affords them. Not to mention, most of the new fans I received used to be people who criticized me. So, it’s fine. Didn’t you tell me not to mind these things before? I’m not getting angry, so why are you getting angry? Let them say whatever they want,” Jun Zishu said.
“See? There are plenty of good comments as well.”
When Jun Zishu opened her Weibo account, she saw many people apologizing to her in the comment section, saying they shouldn’t have criticized her so harshly before.
Moreover, Little Stars and Popsicles weren’t the only ones arguing over the internet. Lemon’s and Jiu Xi’s fans were also having a heated argument.
Out of the three couples, Millie and Tang Tongtong’s pairing received the least hate. Almost everyone supported the ship. At most, some people would comment about Millie dressing up as a young girl despite being close to thirty already. However, such remarks had always existed, so nobody really raised a fuss over them.
“Huh?”
“What’s wrong?”
“I suddenly started receiving a lot of support. All of the negative comments directed at me are getting suppressed. But I didn’t hire any ghostwriters?”
When Jun Zishu refreshed her Weibo page, she found that all negative comments directed at her had received snark replies. At the same time, many comments praising her had appeared, pushing the negative comments out of view. It was as if her fans had taken over the entire comment section.
However, her fan base still wasn’t large enough to accomplish such a feat, and she hadn’t hired any ghostwriters to help market her account, either.
[Did you forget about me, Host? I am now your Chief Fan! Hah! Those punks think they can beat me? Think again! I am a system! I am not one, but many people!]
Little Fairy had despaired over her lack of presence in the previous mission world. She felt that she was too useless as a system. Now that she found a purpose in this world’s internet, she naturally had to hold onto it tightly.
Meanwhile, as a super-intelligent AI, her presence on the internet was akin to a massive army. She could massacre any opponents she came across.
[Don’t worry, Host! Leave everything to me! Not only am I your number one fan, but I can work around the clock without tiring! I also have a ton of sub-accounts!]
How reliable.
[Hehe.]
While Jun Zishu was listening to Little Fairy brag about her accomplishments, Yu Fanshu had messaged Coco, asking her about this situation. Then, after receiving a reply, she said, “Coco says she didn’t have anyone manage the comments. Maybe it’s just because your fans have increased and many people have come to realize your good side,”
Jun Zishu nodded. Inwardly, though, she replied, No, it’s because I have a cheat ability.
Meanwhile, Jun Zishu quickly discerned which Weibo user was Little Fairy’s main account after looking for a moment. This was because Little Fairy had used “Lord Little Fairy” for her ID. She did not bother concealing her identity whatsoever.
Lord Little Fairy: @Has Jun Ling Quit Yet, does your mother know how low your IQ is? Stop embarrassing yourself on the internet! You say Jun Ling’s IQ is low? I bet yours is even lower! You say that Jun Ling’s EQ is low? I bet yours is in the negatives! The only thing you know how to do is stare at Jun Ling on the internet every day! How jealous of her must you be to behave like a little kid? So what if her acting skills are bad? If you’re so good, why don’t you show us what you can do? Oh, my bad, with that face of yours, I doubt you can even get into the entertainment industry! Ptui!
Lord Little Fairy: @Potato Cake, mind your own business! Is it wrong that we Popsicles want to see everyone love our darling Jun Ling? We will forever support Jun Ling and Yu Fanshu!
Jun Ling National Support Association: Thank you everyone for supporting Jun Ling. Welcome to those willing to become Popsicles~~ Anti-fans are not fans, so make sure to report these people~~
Jun Zishu caressed her chin as she wondered where this National Support Association came from.
[My sub-account!]
Jun Zishu felt that her system might end up with personality disorder at this rate.
However, after thinking for a moment, Jun Zishu decided to follow this account.
[Awooo! I love you, Host! I’ll definitely become your best management fan!]
So long as you are happy.
