[Celebrity Relationship Secrets Revealed - Episode 2]

In the last episode of "Celebrity Romance Revealed," we invited Shi Xia and Shen Qingyun, which received high praise.

In the second episode of "Celebrity Romance Revealed," we invited Du Hewen and Lin Man.

Let's take a look.

[Interview with Lin Man]

"Last episode's guests were Shi Xia and Shen Qingyun. The question they left for the next episode's guests is—if time could turn back, would you still fall in love with each other?"

—Hmm, I'll have to think about it carefully, hahaha.

"Oh, Ms. Lin Man, you'll make Actor Du sad if you do that."

Just kidding, if we could do it all over again, the answer would be yes.

"So how do you view your relationship?"

Our story, to put it simply, is melodramatic and cliché, but it's still quite interesting to look back on.

"Wow, that's really piqued our interest. How did things start between you and Actor Du?"

—Shall we begin? That might be a bit early.

"How early?"

—As early as more than ten years ago? To be precise, we actually met when we were kids, but he may have forgotten.

"That sounds amazing, so is it like a plot from a novel? Is there some kind of agreement or something?"

—I guess so. Yeah, he used to say I was cute when I was little, and that he'd marry me when we grew up.

"They really did it."

—Yes, that's true now, but he's long forgotten what he said when he was a child, and of course I didn't expect him to remember it anyway.

"It seems there were quite a few twists and turns along the way."

Looking back now, I guess you could say that. Aside from our meeting when I was a child, the last time we met was when I was fifteen. At that time, something happened in my family, and Grandpa Du took me to the city. Since then, we've lived under the same roof, and we still do.

"It sounds like you've lived together for many years. Can you tell us about what's happened over the years? Anything from joy to sorrow is welcome."

There are too many things to say, too many to list. Why don't you ask us?

"Okay. When did you first realize you liked him?"

—Well, it might sound a little funny, but it really was when I was a child, though I don't remember it very clearly then. Then, when I was 15, he was just as dazzling as he is now. Can you imagine how rebellious he was at 17?

"Haha, I can roughly guess. That age was wonderful. So, how did he treat you back then?"

—Attitude? Lukewarm, I guess? He usually ignores me, but he'll stand up for me if I'm bullied at school. He's kind of like a warm-hearted older brother who seems cold on the outside but is actually kind on the inside.

Did he like you back then?

—To be honest? I think he didn't like it. Because my arrival disrupted his life.

Did he know you liked him back then?

—He didn't know.

Did you speak to him directly?

—No, back then I was quite insecure, and I was very thin, though I gradually gained weight. Of course, I didn't have a chance to talk to him about it then.

"How so?"

—Yeah, when I was a freshman in high school, he was a senior. Back then, he had to study hard. I studied hard too.

"How were you at that time?"

—I don't know how to describe my feelings for him; outsiders might think it's good.

Why?

He was a very picky eater. I used to bring him lunch often. And he always made desserts and bread too.

"That would be wonderful! I'd be ecstatic if someone were willing to make it for me. So, was that when you first got the idea to open a dessert shop?"

—Yeah, back then I learned everything online, and of course I also hoped to have my own shop. Now I've achieved that.

Does he eat everything you bring him?

—Well, at first he didn't, he would throw food to other classmates. So naturally his classmates knew me, and they were eager for me to bring him things every day.

When will he start eating?

—On a very accidental occasion, he got hungry, ate something, and then arrogantly asked me to bring it back for him.

"How long did you take care of him afterwards?"

—That entire senior year of high school.

"Did he make any unreasonable demands during this period?"

—Thinking about it, there is some. He wants me to take it only for him and not for anyone else.

"Oh, so who did you return it to before?"

—His bunch of friends, and some of my classmates.

"It seems that Actor Du is quite possessive."

—Who understands him?

Did you have any romantic relationships during high school?

I didn't have a puppy love relationship.

"Oh? Does Actor Du have one?"

—As far as I know, there shouldn't be any. However, he did date someone during his university years.

Have you seen it?

—Yes, I've met her. He brought her home; she's a very pretty girl.

What were your feelings at that time?

—I'm a little sad, but it wasn't entirely unexpected. Dating is his freedom, and at the time, there were no restrictions between us.

Were there any suitors for you back then?

—Yes, I was. But I wasn't thinking about dating at the time. I can't possibly like two people at once, can I?

"Does Actor Du know?"

—How could he possibly know? He doesn't care about that.

"So how did you two end up getting married?"

—We belong to, well, you can probably guess, a marriage of convenience that blossomed into love.

"Wow, it's just like a scene from a novel. The reason for the marriage? It's something I can choose not to say."

—It's okay, he was under pressure at the time. My grandfather made him marry me. When I was a junior in college, Grandpa Du got sick and was worried that I would have no one to take care of me, so he made him marry me.

"So what was his initial attitude?"

—Him? He resisted at the time. He didn't like being manipulated, he didn't like being forced, and he was quite rebellious back then. But in the end, he agreed.

"What was married life like at the beginning?"

—Is it just the beginning? He's so cold and distant. He even said we can't go public yet, and that we can get a divorce if he doesn't want to continue the relationship.

"That sounds rather willful."

—Yes, that's just how he was at that time; in reality, he's still quite composed.

"What did you do after that?"

—I don't do anything. I go to school, attend classes, look for shops, and open stores—everything is as usual.

Did he come to see you when you graduated from university?

—Yes. He was wrapped up like a dumpling back then, afraid of being recognized.

"Did he already like you at that time?"

—I think there might be a little bit?

"And then? Did your life change too much?"

—Yes, his career is getting better and better; he's put in a lot of effort. But even when he's not working, he'll come home to be with me, watch movies together, cook, and bake cakes and desserts.

"It seems like life got better after that."

—Yes, it is indeed very good.

"Has Actor Du done anything that particularly touched you?"

—Yes. He pursued me again and made up for everything that had happened before.

"What exactly did you do?"

—So many things. Most of the things couples do in their daily lives. Confessing your love, proposing, washing dishes and cooking, remembering all my preferences, and thinking of me whenever you encounter something delicious or fun.

"Wow, it seems to be just like what we experienced when we watched the show."

—Well, this is only a small part of what everyone has seen. I won't reveal any more details. I'm afraid he'll run out of things to say after I finish, hahaha.

Who has the highest status in the family?

—Of course it's me.

"Why haven't you made it public yet?"

—At first, he was unwilling, but later I deliberately refused. I hold grudges.

"Finally, is there anything you'd like to say to Actor Du?"

—Speak politely. You're still washing the dishes tonight, and remember to let them dry.

[Interview with Du Hewen]

"Last episode's guests were Shi Xia and Shen Qingyun. The question they left for the next episode's guests is—if time could turn back, would you still fall in love with each other?"

Of course, you'll know the answer no matter how many times you ask.

"It seems you're really determined. So, guess what Lin Man will say?"

—Her? She might say she'll think about it at first, but in the end it will definitely be me.

"It seems you really know Lin Man well. Do you remember when you first met?"

I first met her in the summer when I was seventeen. She was fifteen then, just starting junior high, and I was in my second year of senior high.

"From what we understand, that doesn't seem to be the case. Lin Man said you saw them when you were little."

—Ah, that's true. I went to the countryside with my grandfather when I was little. But I don't remember much about that time, for some reasons I can't talk about it.

"What is Lin Man like in your eyes at fifteen years old?"

—At that time, she came from the countryside. She was pale and thin, her small body looked like it could be blown over by the wind, and she wasn't very tall either. But she would get better with some rest.

Did you bully her back then?

—I suppose so. After all, I was young and impulsive back then. Thinking about it now, I really want to slap myself.

"Are there any 'wife-chasing crematoriums'?"

--some.

"What exactly is it like?"

—Most obviously, she later refused to let me go public with it.

"So, what do you mean by that?"

—Don't give me face, I brought this on myself.

"Lin Man has liked you for a long time, did you know that?"

—I didn't know at first, but I do now.

"Having lived under the same roof for so many years, what's your biggest takeaway?"

I am very happy, very fortunate, and very happy.

"According to Lin Man, why didn't you eat the things she brought you at first?"

—I was young then, and I always felt that she was there to supervise me, so I didn't like her.

"So how did you eventually accept it?"

She put in a lot of effort, but things don't seem to be going the way I thought. My friends also say she's a good person, and I think she's a good person too.

"Aside from that, are there any other reasons?"

—Okay, yes. I'm starting to feel a bit threatened. She's very cute, and quite a few people like her.

"What are your thoughts on Lin Man's work?"

—It's so delicious, I want to eat it for the rest of my life, and I'm willing to wash dishes for the rest of my life too.

"How was it?"

—That's good, we live close by and I can see her every day.

"Did you gradually fall in love with her around that time?"

—I think so. Although it wasn't very clear at the time, looking back now, that's true.

"I heard you had a girlfriend in college and even brought her home?"

—Actually, it's fake. I didn't actually talk to anyone else. At the time, she was just a friend. I was just competing with her.

"Why?"

—Because I heard that someone else has appeared in her life.

Are you unhappy about this?

Yes, I'm very unhappy.

"And then?"

—Later I learned that the person who appeared next to her was just an ordinary friend.

—We were each other's first love.

"Were you hesitant about getting married?"

—Actually, I was faking it. I really wanted to marry her, but I wasn't sure if she truly liked me or was just following her elders' advice.

Did you finally get an answer?

—Of course, she really likes me, and I really like her too.

"I heard you later pursued Lin Man again?"

Yes. I don't want to miss any part of the dating process with her.

Is it difficult to win her back?

—One thing is that she holds grudges, but I like her very much. All difficulties are not problems; I can overcome them.

"So, who has the highest status in your family?"

—Of course it belongs to her, I will obey her in everything.

"How can we win over Lin Man?"

—In short, relentless pursuit.

"Du Yingdi is really funny."

—Okay, the main thing is that I love her, and she really loves me too. She won't make things too difficult for me; she'll just leave it at that.

"Is there anything you'd like to say to Lin Man in the end?"

—There's no need to say "I love you" anymore; she's heard it so many times she's sick of it.

"It seems that Actor Du is usually very willing to express his affection. What's the first thing you want to say right now?"

—Hear her say she loves me.

"Do you know what Lin Man wants to say to you?"

—They're so clever and cunning, I can't guess what they're thinking right now.

"She told you to speak properly, remember to wash the dishes tonight, and remember to let them dry."

—Of course, I'd wash dishes for the rest of my life.

—If she's willing to give me that chance.

—I want to be with her forever and ever.

end.
