A news story has gone viral across major online entertainment platforms.

It even rose to the top of the trending searches within an hour and remained there.

#Rising Popularity of Young Actress and Actor Suspected of Being in a Relationship#

#A young actress spent two hours overnight at a male celebrity's house#

Clicking on it leads to a video.

"Hello everyone, this is your entertainment gossip expert. What juicy gossip have I brought this time? Let's take a look together if you're curious. From the video, a popular young actress and a popular young actor are seen sticking close together all the way to his doorstep. They look very intimate, and the actress casually enters the password to open the actor's door, so it seems this isn't her first time there. She didn't come out for two hours after entering the actor's house. Let's discuss what happened and guess who these two are. This is entertainment gossip expert, see you next time~ Bye~"

A single video has stirred up a huge wave of discussion.

[Jili Gulu: I don't follow the entertainment industry much, who are these two? They're a bit blurry, I can't see them clearly]

[Aww: These popular young actresses and actors, and look at their outfits, do I even need to say anything, hahaha]

[Woof woof woof: They're practically typing out their names now...]

[Lulalulale: Anyone with eyes can see who's who]

[Hoohoo: Well, I've shipped them before. They were college classmates. It's normal for a handsome guy and a beautiful girl to date, right?]

[Chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp: Huh? So who is it? I have a bit of face blindness, I can't recognize them]

[I'm just a passerby: I'll be blunt, isn't this Wen Xinran and Xing Jianan? There's no need to guess at all.]

As soon as this passerby mentioned it, and his name was mentioned, a large group of people swarmed around him.

It's been a long time since there's been any celebrity dating scandal in the Chinese entertainment industry, and everyone's flocking to it, very interested.

It sparked a massive discussion on Weibo.

then--

#Xing Jianan and Wen Xinran's suspected relationship confirmed#

This topic became a trending topic on Weibo, gaining significant popularity.

The comments section of the entry was filled with heated arguments.

[Shannan Shannan: Stop spreading rumors. My brother isn't dating right now. Spreading rumors is despicable.]

[North and South: This video clearly shows my brother unconscious, okay? What do you mean by sticking to him the whole way? Don't be so ridiculous.]

[Gibberish: My sister is beautiful on her own, so please, some guy, stop bothering me! My sister was just trying to be nice!!]

[Hehegu Guo: But what can a lone man and woman do inside for two hours... It's hard not to wonder, isn't it?]

[The pig already weighs several pounds: I'm just a passerby, so I'll speak first. How did Wen Xin know the password to Xing Jianan's house...? Don't you find that incredible??]

[Flower Garland: Actually, I think it's like a publicity stunt... Aren't they the male and female leads of that drama? So I think it's probably for the sake of generating buzz.]

[Pfft: That makes sense, that's what I thought too. Xing Jianan doesn't seem like the type to like Wen Xinran...]

[Huhuhu: I think so too...]

[Hmph: And neither of them has come out to clarify... I feel something's wrong...]

[Here it comes: I knew my ship was real! My love, please, America!!!]

Wen Fan: Shut up!!!

Xing fans: Get out of here!!!

CP fans: ...

Public opinion continues to ferment online.

Wen Xinran sat in the office chair in her agent's office, admiring her newly done manicure.

The agent stood in front of her with his head down.

"Should we issue a clarification now? If this continues, what will happen to President Song..."

Wen Xinran glanced at her sideways, and she immediately stopped talking, trembling with fear.

"Sister Wu, I'm in charge here. I can clarify things whenever I want. As for Song Zhihuai, I have my own plans. Don't meddle in things that aren't your business."

"yes."

The agent hastily retreated, not daring to say another word.

When Xing Jianan woke up, her phone had been ringing off the hook with calls from her agent.

He was completely unaware.

When I woke up and checked my phone, I saw countless missed calls and messages from various entertainment industry figures asking if the story was true or false.

The agent called again.

"Xing Jianan!!! You finally answered the phone!!! Do you know how this is causing an uproar online? What's going on between you and Wen Xinran!???"

"Me and her? What do I have with her?" Xing Jianan was still a little groggy after waking up.

"Go check it out online yourself, and give me an answer within five minutes." The agent was practically going crazy with anxiety.

Others might not know, but doesn't the agent know? Who is Wen Xinran? They wouldn't dare to go up and get into trouble.

Moreover, the boss of Huaijiang Entertainment is deeply in love with Wen Xinran. Wen Xinran will probably be the boss's wife of Huaijiang Entertainment in the future. Who would dare to mess with her?

"It won't take five minutes. I can tell you right now that I have absolutely nothing to do with her." Xing Jianan quickly browsed the overwhelming amount of content online and rubbed his aching temples.

"If there's no relationship between you, why would she take you home? Why would she know your house code? Why would she stay inside for two hours?" The agent sent three questions in a row, clearly not believing Xing Jianan's statement.

"There's nothing between us. I didn't know she brought me home yesterday, and I don't know how she knew my house password. I was drunk yesterday and don't remember anything," Xing Jianan explained to his agent. He also didn't know what happened yesterday.

"Contact Wen Xinran and issue a joint statement to clarify the situation." The agent sighed. "I don't know what happened, but Wen Xinran hasn't issued a clarification either."

"OK."

Xing Jianan hung up the phone.

My gaze fell on the bedside table and I realized that the photo that had always been there was gone.

It's always been here! Where did it go?

It wasn't until I looked down that I realized the picture frame was shattered on the ground, but the photo was nowhere to be found.

Xing Jianan searched the entire house but couldn't find it.

Yes, Wen Xinran!!!

It took a long time for someone to answer the phone after I called.

"Hey Canaan." Wen Xinran was waiting for Xing Canaan to speak.

"Did you go into my bedroom yesterday? Did you see a photo?"

She was indeed in a hurry, Wen Xinran thought to herself.

"Yes, I have."

"Where is it?! The photo is very important to me."

"Does it matter? You don't remember anything about what happened yesterday?"

"Sorry, I forgot."

That would be even better.

"Didn't you break the picture frame yourself? Oh, and the photos inside, you tore them up yourself too. You even made me flush the photo scraps down the drain. Have you forgotten all that?"

Wen Xinran spoke in an orderly manner, as if she were not lying.

"Impossible!!!!" Xing Jianan gripped his phone tightly, veins bulging on his hand, he was somewhat agitated.

He would never tear up the photo; no one understands better than him what it means to him.

“I watched you tear it up, you might have forgotten.” Wen Xinran paused for a moment, “You even said you were going to forget who.”

It's so well-made it looks like the real thing.

"Never mind, let me think about it some more." Xing Jianan herself wasn't sure either.

"How did you know my house password yesterday, and why did you stay inside for two hours?"

"You told me the password, otherwise how would I know? Two hours was because I was worried about you. You were so drunk last night you kept throwing up, I had no choice but to take care of you. It makes me a little sad that you're questioning me like this." Wen Xinran's voice even choked up slightly. "We've known each other for so long, are you doubting me?"

"I'm sorry, I acted impulsively. Thank you. But I'm issuing this clarification statement to apologize for the trouble it has caused you."

"I will issue a clarification later. See you on set."

Xing Jianan hung up the phone.

One hand gently caressed the ring he always wore on the other hand.

This was a gift she gave to him back then.

But the gift he wanted to give her hadn't been given yet.
