Chapter 41 This man is so terrifying. This is the power of true love...

[Holding Your Hand] The CP name is centered and bolded, making it the well-deserved C position.

The director team thoughtfully attached a hyperlink to each hot word, and you can see the corresponding discussion screenshot by clicking on it.

The first to appear is the hardworking counter.

A CP fan who was determined to record [how many times Gu Zhi peeked at Jiang Ziyi] from the first episode of the show, could no longer count by the fourth episode. Following the suggestions in the comment section, she changed her statistical goal to [how many seconds they held hands and looked at each other].

How come it’s already in three digits? Jiang Ziyi couldn't help but turn his head and met Gu Zhi's eyes again, and got +2s.

Next comes the veritable master of frame-by-frame analysis.

In a popular post titled "A Thousand-Year-Old Fox Plays with a Kitten in the Palm of His Hand", the author lists the various tricks used by a male fox named Gu.

: In most cases, Jiang Ziyi would avoid Gu Zhi's close contact in front of the camera, but it is well known that her limbs are not coordinated, and her center of gravity is unstable due to the large avoidance movement, so she can easily fall backwards.

: As long as you master this point, you can make the cat "actively" fall into your arms

In the slow-motion video clip, Gu Zhi first approached Jiang Ziyi and said something. A second before she blushed and stepped back, he had already positioned his arms to catch her.

: Gu Zhi often uses phrases like "okay" and "can I" to negotiate with Jiang Ziyi, there is a lot of water here!

: First, use a pleading tone and sexy bass to confuse the prey; then use the "yes or no" question method to make it impossible for Yi Yi to change the subject or give other options, and the only option is to refuse...

: Jiang Ziyi is a very rebellious cat. He uses provocation to stir up her desire to win, or deliberately hides things to arouse her curiosity. Even though she knows it is a trap, she will still want to stick her head in to take a look…

The comment section was filled with pitiful “tsk tsk”s.

：This man is so scary...

: It’s so bad!

: If I hadn’t seen the original film, I would have suspected it was a conspiracy theory.

: Don’t underestimate the question trap in the second sentence! The baby was deceived and went to worship in the scenic area

: I have called the police for the cat

: Gu Zhi, it’s a good thing you went after your wife with all your bad intentions, otherwise I would have to call the anti-fraud hotline...

"Baby, don't date a guy like that in the future," Yu Huating whispered to Huahua, "Even if your parents' IQs were combined, they might not be able to outsmart him."

Jiang Ziyi touched the back of his neck belatedly and felt a chill.

"You're over-interpreting it. I don't really think that much," Gu Zhi looked up at her innocently, "Don't believe this, okay?"

Fortunately, the director team included limited length of content, and netizens’ analysis was inevitably flawed, so Gu Zhi’s schemes were not fully exposed.

Jiang Ziyi just sat up a little straighter, half-believing.

The word that follows [hold your hand] is [slap in the face].

"I know this!" Li Aomei, who loves watching variety show commentary while eating, understood it immediately. "When the show started, many people were still advising you two to break up, but now they have all turned against you."

The one who caused the biggest uproar was an internet blogger with the ID [Pure Hate Warrior 001]. Since I work in a job that brings a lot of resentment during the day and have been single for more than 20 years, my biggest hobby after getting home from get off work at around 9 o'clock every night is to indiscriminately attack all cps in front of the computer.

In the first half of this year, he became an internet celebrity with his series of videos complaining about dating shows. His representative works include "What's the point of talking about vows of love after just knowing each other for three days", "Men's affection is all acted", "You're not obsessed, you're crazy", etc.

Since the beginning of winter, the dating variety show market has been sluggish. [Pure Hate Warrior 001] changed track and started watching "Break Up Lover".

At the end of the interview, Gu Zhi cast a burning glance at Jiang Ziyi who had hurriedly passed by him. He looked alone at the backlit corner, and there seemed to be burning embers buried in his eyes.

"It's acting!" [Pure Hate Warrior 001] put a half-full bottle of Coke next to the mouse, "What's that '30% reluctance, 70% deep love'? 100% is acting! But the eyes are indeed handled very delicately, I can try for the Golden Hippo Award next year."

In the middle of shooting the promotional poster, a clothes hanger not far away collapsed with a loud noise. Jiang Ziyi quietly grabbed Gu Zhi's arm, and then released his grip at the moment the camera light flashed.

"That doesn't mean anything," [Pure Hate Warrior 001] tore open the instant noodle package, "She was just simply frightened by the sound. How can this be considered a 'small gesture showing dependence'? You CP fans are overthinking it."

The screenshot of Gu Zhi’s phone screensaver went viral online, with everyone praising him for taking beautiful photos. The same beret that Jiang Ziyi wore was quickly sold out.

"It's just a promotion to sell hats. The person who took the photo must be a professional photographer, not Gu Zhi." [Pure Hate Warrior 001] still didn't buy it.

It was not until Jiang Ziyi went out on a date with Gu Zhi with 200 yuan in funds that Gu Zhi was eager to "sell one" to her.

"Marketing confirmed!" [Pure Hate Warrior] 001 said proudly, "Even after saying the word 'hype CP', there are still people who are genuinely supporting it. Have they been fooled by the capital again?"

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Ziyi blurted out, "I won't kiss you in front of so many people."

“…I started to believe it myself after selling it for so long,” Pure Hate Warrior 001’s tone became a little unnatural, “The means of hyping up CPs are indeed superb.”

Later, Gu Zhi drank strong soju and then pestered Jiang Zi to act like a dinosaur.

[Pure Hate Warrior 001] hovered his hand over the keyboard and remained silent.

If we say "Gu Zhi pretended to be drunk to trick Jiang Ziyi into coaxing him to go home", then it is obvious that Gu Zhi put so much effort into acting this out because he loved it very much; but if we admit that "Gu Zhi was just blind and mistook the wine bottle so he got drunk", then his subsequent coquettishness and even begging were 100% true feelings.

Seeing this, the pure hatred warrior could no longer hate him, but he still insisted, "At least I can't see how much Jiang Ziyi likes Gu Zhi."

In the episode about the amusement park, [Pure Hate Warrior 001] started a live broadcast to follow the variety show simultaneously. Every time he entered the live broadcast room of Holding Hands, he had to pretend to be serious and lower his head to cover his mouth to hide the kind smile on his face.

Jiang Ziyi, you must stop being allergic to romance... But you are so cute...

These two people look so good together in the haunted house costumes... They have such a good rapport when scaring people together...

Jiang Ziyi finally got jealous... Her hand holding the gun was unsteady, hehe...

Gu Zhi looks at how happy you are... little guy...

By the time the tarot divination results came out, [Pure Hate Warrior 001] had already put his hands together and prayed to the sky without caring about anything else.

When the two were in danger on the Ferris wheel, he even muttered, "A believing man is willing to be single for another five years in exchange for holding your hand, which is sweet and not abusive."

Early the next morning, [Pure Hate Warrior 001], who was completely attracted by the charm, couldn't wait to change his ID to "Pure Love Warrior".

"This is the power of true love." Gu Weizhen said with emotion.

The entry below [slap in the face] is [childhood sweetheart].

As the only precious film and television material in which Jiang Ziyi and Gu Zhi co-starred and which was released in China as scheduled, the original films and behind-the-scenes footage of the first two seasons of "Neighbors" have been sold out by netizens.

The two people's respective roles, scenes together, and daily interactions are arranged in chronological order. All the cute and funny points have also been marked to make it easier for later CP fans to catch up.

When little Gu Zhi first started talking to little Jiang Ziyi, little Jiang Ziyi would impatiently kick the leg of a stool with her heel.

Jiang Ziyi remained silent, so Gu Zhi could only keep telling her about his own affairs:

He was forced to be the discipline committee member in school by his teacher. There was a boy in the class who always wore his school uniform jacket open. Gu Zhi was really tired of supervising him, so he used 502 glue to stick the zipper on his collar.

Strictly speaking, Gu Zhi actually has a cousin, but she always folds his books like a fan and cries all the time, not even a hair of Jiang Ziyi can compare to her;

Gu Zhi felt that the atmosphere between his two childhood friends was always weird. Gu Zhi lent his test paper to Liu Feilu to correct her mistakes. Liu Feilu bought him an ice cream. Zheng Haonan got angry for some reason and said sourly, "Why is he the only one who got a share?"

Xiao Jiang Yi listened so much that he would still have some reaction, such as nodding his head slightly, glancing at him silently, or touching his chin with an expression that showed he was still thinking.

After observing this, little Gu Zhi began to improve his storytelling skills.

He first said mysteriously, "I saw Zheng Haonan walk into the bicycle shed with a knife after school," and then deliberately talked about boring topics such as "The math teacher assigns more homework than the Chinese teacher recently."

Jiang Ziyi was anxious to hear what he had to say, his legs dangling from side to side on the chair. Finally, he couldn't help asking, "Whose bicycle did he puncture?"

"It's Liu Feilu's!" Gu Zhi tapped her forehead with satisfaction. "At first I thought the two of them were having a quarrel, but I didn't expect——"

"What didn't you expect?" Jiang Ziyi jumped down from the chair and grabbed the corner of his clothes. "Hurry up and tell me, the director will call us in for the shoot soon!"

Little Gu Zhi glanced at the camera cautiously, lowered his head and whispered something to Jiang Ziyi.

"Wow!" The gossip in Xiao Jiang Ziyi's eyes grew stronger and stronger.

"Do you want to hear what happened next?" Before Gu Zhi finished speaking, the staff began calling Jiang Ziyi's name.

“…You can give it a listen.” Xiao Jiang said with restraint.

: I've finished watching the latest episode of "Breakup Lover". Gu Zhi is talking about how he caught his childhood friend secretly dating, hahaha

: What a lovely couple of kids... auntie kisses

: A fox who has been controlling his wife since childhood

: They are so familiar with each other, wow (makes Xiao Jiang's willful voice)

After Wuqing revealed his best friend's early love secret, Gu Zhi and Jiang Ziyi's relationship quickly became closer, and the interactions between the two became more frequent.

Little Jiang Ziyi is still a little shy. As long as there are more than five people present, little Gu Zhi will naturally put his hand behind his back for her to hold.

Little Gu Zhi had not received much acting training, and sometimes he was not in the right state during filming. Little Jiang Ziyi would seriously pull him aside and tell him that "your eyes are too stiff" or "you can't be distracted even when it's your lines."

The petite girl scolded the helpless boy and made him stand up straight. Sometimes the director had to persuade her to calm down first.
