Chapter 59: Roadshows are great. It feels like being truly loved...

Official Comments Section of "Another Me in the World":

"Too many people look so alike despite not being related! They're the perfect protagonists for this movie!"

"Director! Where did you find these two people?"

"Hey, hey, hey! Did anyone notice that Qiao Zhizheng actually has two faces as beautiful as hers? Having two is fine, but they're actually being consumed internally?"

"Let me make a wild guess. Qiao Zhizheng, knowing she was truly stunningly beautiful, felt no one could possibly match her beauty. Then, one day, she met her destined partner—Qiao Zheng! Suddenly, a tug of war struck, and within a split second, she realized this was the one! My soulmate! Qiao Zhizheng! With such a beautiful face, who else could possibly be worthy of me except someone equally beautiful like me?"

"Who is the lady upstairs? This paragraph makes me feel embarrassed and excited. Here's the pen, write it quickly!"

"I'm so happy, I'm so happy, hasn't anyone noticed that Qiao Zheng's original name was Qiao Qiao? Pay attention—Qiao! Zhi! Zheng! The 'Zhi' is very spiritual, and this name change is also very spiritual!"

"Changing the name for love! Oh my god! What a beautiful love this is! I would call it a perfect match, a match made in heaven!"

"I bumped into something, I bumped into something, I bumped into something. Mom asked me if I bumped into my hand or my foot. No! Neither! I just bumped into my destined perfect couple and bumped into them! Ahhhh, I'm so happy!"

"Am I the only one who thinks this is weird? Are there really strangers in real life who are not related by blood but look so similar?"

"Emmmm, even if you haven't seen the one upstairs, don't say you haven't seen it. At least I have seen it."

"I once met someone who looked just like me. Not only were their looks, personalities, and hobbies similar, they were practically identical. I even went home and asked my mom if she had any daughters living away from home, and she scolded me. Sob~"

"I've experienced this myself. I thought I was looking in a mirror. It scared me!"

"The world is so big, and there are so many strange things! All kinds of strange things can happen. There are people who can be hit by meteorites and still survive."

"Additionally, someone was struck by lightning seven times and still lived to a ripe old age."

The revelations of the "Entertainment Circle Gossip Uncle" successfully brought "Another Me in the World" into the public eye with a strong attitude, and the topic soared.

The comment section of "Entertainment Circle Digging Uncle" is filled with uniform haha ​​...

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you for your great publicity!"

"Didn't the official "Another Me" send you a basket of red eggs? I'll condemn it on your behalf. This is not a good thing [dog head] (dog head save life)"

"Uncle Pa finally did a good deed [red and blue villain emoji] (it was a pinch, not a hug)"

"Everyone says you're funny, but you just don't live up to expectations."

"Today! Here, we witnessed the rise of our Chun Zheng CP! Congratulations, everyone is happy and happy [scatter flowers] [scatter flowers] [scatter flowers]"

"Go check it out! Qiao Zhizheng posted the official announcement on Weibo!"

As a loyal fan of Qiao Zhizheng, Dai Sile has been paying attention to Qiao Zhizheng's movements since he was a fan of the variety show "One Day Store Manager" until now. He has been following the uproar on Qiao Zhizheng's same-sex relationship on the Internet in the past two days and saw Qiao Zhizheng's official announcement on Weibo as soon as possible.

Dai Sile clicked on Weibo and what caught his eye was a pair of folded hands. Dai Sile then looked at the accompanying text - Only I know you and you know me.

The comment section will soon have in-depth interpretation and analysis.

"What's Xiao Qiao's full name? Qiao Zhizheng! What's her girlfriend's name? Qiao Zheng! So 'I know you'! And Qiao Zheng also understands Qiao Zhizheng! So it's 'I know—you know me'!"

"It's sour, sour, sour! Who is sour? It turns out I'm the one who's sour! I want to sleep between you two! Hehe~"

"In the past, I always felt that Xiao Qiao was not a good match with anyone, but! I think this one! Works!"

"Speaking of which, if you're in a long-distance relationship, do you feel like your partner is by your side just by putting on makeup and looking in the mirror?"

"And I can kiss myself."

"Mo yourself."

"Yourself."

"This is a comment section, not a no-man's land. Be careful you might end up in a black room."

"I'm really looking forward to your movie!"

"I'm not going to tell you that I won a ticket for tomorrow's roadshow."

"Did you see the lemon in my mouth upstairs?"

"Quick! Serve that can of herrings going on a roadshow!"

On the day of the roadshow, the enthusiasm of the media and fans was unprecedentedly high.

Qiao Zheng and Qiao Zhizheng wore costumes that matched the characters in the film today, and appeared on stage with exciting clips playing on the screen.

Qiao Zhizheng's fans in the audience exclaimed: "What a perfect match!"

Qiao Zheng and Qiao Zhizheng looked at her at the same time and nodded at her as a greeting.

As usual, after the main creators shared their work, they entered the media interview session.

In addition to the previously confirmed questions, a media outlet asked Qiao Zheng and Qiao Zhizheng, who were sitting together, "Were you two dating from the beginning, or did you develop feelings for each other while filming?"

This question was not planned. It was obvious that the reporter asked it suddenly because of the recent heat about Qiao Zhizheng's love affair. It was the first time that Qiao Zhizheng faced such a question. She was still thinking about her words, trying to give an answer that was as flawless as possible. However, Qiao Zheng, who was full of experience, had already spoken first.

"It's the third situation. They fell in love over time and have only recently been together."

Qiao Zheng directly skipped the trap set by the reporters and did not give them the opportunity to make a big fuss about it.

The reporter wanted to ask something else, but a staff member stepped forward to stop him from asking further questions.

Qiao Zhizheng smiled and continued, "Thank you all for your attention and blessings to my relationship. But today is the movie night. Actually, I'd rather talk about movies than relationships. I remember a scene during the filming that left a deep impression on me. At that time, I saw it on the Amazon River..."

Qiao Zhizheng turned the topic towards movies, and the other reporters tactfully stopped asking.

Soon it was time for the fan interaction session.

The venue has specially designated a small area with several exquisite and beautiful small scenes, where fans can come forward to get autographs and take photos with their favorite actors.

The small scenes where Qiao Zheng and Qiao Zhizheng were located were adjacent to each other. To the unfamiliar Qiao Zheng, it was obvious that there were more people on the side of Qiao Zhizheng, who was well-known to the public. However, there was a long queue on Qiao Zhizheng's side, and people couldn't help but look towards Qiao Zheng, looking at Qiao Zheng, then at Qiao Zhizheng, and scanning back and forth between the two of them.

Someone in the crowd shouted, "Little Qiao, why don't you and your... um... partner stay in a small garden?"

Once someone made a bold start, there were more and more voices following suit.

"Yeah, yeah, let's stay together."

Qiao Zhizheng and Qiao Zheng looked at each other. Qiao Zhizheng wanted to get up, but was stopped by Qiao Zheng's eyes. Qiao Zheng stood up and walked towards her.

It seems that people who have experienced many storms will subconsciously think more. If Qiao Zhizheng walks towards Qiao Zheng, what will others think?

Do you think Qiao Zhizheng is in love, a relatively famous person bowing to a "newcomer"?

Do they think Qiao Zhizheng isn't as dazzling as they imagined, that she takes a step back in relationships and is just an ordinary person? Celebrities are essentially ordinary people, and it's the love of their fans that builds their platform, but Qiao Zheng believes that a proper sense of distance adds to her mystery.

Qiao Zheng had too many concerns, which might be unnecessary at times. Maybe she was just imagining things, or maybe...

However, Qiao Zheng felt that she had already intruded into Qiao Zhizheng's life and disrupted her life trajectory, and she did not want to add any more risks.

"Just think of it as me worrying too much, but I can't let any more accidents happen to Qiao Zhizheng." Qiao Zheng said to herself.

Qiao Zheng thought a lot during this short journey, which actually only took a minute or two in reality.

In just a minute or two, Qiao Zhizheng watched Qiao Zheng walking towards her, and suddenly remembered that the person in front of her was walking towards her against the flow of ten years.

The pen in Qiao Zhizheng's hand, which was used to sign autographs for fans, fell to the ground with a thud. Qiao Zhizheng came back to her senses and gave an apologetic smile to the fan in front of her. The assistant picked up the pen and handed it to her. Qiao Zhizheng looked at Qiao Zheng standing beside her and smiled brightly, "You're here."

Qiao Zheng lowered her head and said, "I'm here."

The fan watching their conversation was Qiao Zhizheng's only fan. Looking at Qiao Zhizheng and then looking at Qiao Zheng again, he inexplicably felt that when these two people stood together, an atmosphere was created that no one could fit in.

It was only after the staff reminded them that Qiao Zheng and Qiao Zhizheng came back to their senses after staring at each other.

Qiao Zhizheng smiled at the fan in front of her and said, "Want to take a photo?"

The fan smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm not very good at taking pictures."

Qiao Zheng said gently, "I'm a pretty good photographer, let me help you take the picture."

The fan nodded, "Ah... um... OK, thank you for your help... ah."

I don’t know what to call her. It feels impolite to call her by her name, and calling her boyfriend Qiao Zhizheng seems too weird.

Qiao Zheng said, "You call her Xiao Qiao. I'm a few years older than her, so you can call me Da Qiao or Sister Qiao."

"Okay, Da Qiao, thank you for your help."

The small scene is a beautiful flower wall with many colorful embossed butterflies spreading their wings, ready to fly high at any time.

Qiao Zheng handed two embossed golden swallowtail butterflies to Qiao Zhizheng and her fans who were standing together, and instructed them in a few poses.

The fan took the phone and looked at the finished film, his eyes full of surprise. He excitedly said to Qiao Zheng, "Next time I have a chance, I'll bring my camera. Can you take a photo for me, Da Qiao?"

Qiao Zheng smiled and nodded, "Okay."

With this beginning, the following group photos were basically taken by Qiao Zheng.

The girls in the camera raised their heads confidently, looking at Qiao Zhizheng with eyes full of joy of getting what they wanted.

Qiao Zheng was moved by this joy. At this moment, she suddenly remembered the fans from her original timeline, those fans who firmly believed in Qiao Zheng and went around clarifying things for her when she was being cyberbullied, and those fans who insisted on liking her even when they were ridiculed by others.

The curve of Qiao Zheng's mouth became deeper. At the invitation of fans, she stood in front of the camera and took a photo of three people with fans and Qiao Zhizheng.

It’s so nice, this feeling of being truly loved by someone.

——Thank you for your love. Even in the darkest moments, I will remember your light, which is as weak as a firefly but never extinguished. It has helped me pull myself back from despair in countless depressed moments.

The author has something to say: I feel warm inside when I write this. It is really happy to have the love from strangers. I will pretend that you like me very much (hands on hips) and secretly be happy for a while [starry eyes][starry eyes][starry eyes]

I always feel out of place when writing about "Da Qiao", which reminds me of the peak moment when Da Qiao had not been weakened. I was traveling in the Canyon of Kings with Da Qiao, protecting the shooter to attack the tower, and winning the gold medal support and MVP in succession. Now I think about it and I still feel so happy and cool. It's a pity that Da Qiao was weakened and I have never played King of Glory again. By the way, besides "Da Qiao" and "Sister Qiao", are there any other titles, the kind that fans give to their idols? I feel that these two titles did not meet my expectations, but I can't think of them no matter how hard I try. My smart, gentle, wise and lovely babies, do you have any good suggestions? Tell me quickly so that I will no longer be distressed. Looking forward to it [Let me eat][Let me eat][Let me eat]
