81 Connections

A girl with flowing long hair stood on the beach wearing the same clothes. Her slender waist was firmly held by a man's large hand. She was almost half the size of the man, and her exposed calves were fair and slender, not even as thick as the man's forearm.

The exaggerated differences in body size and skin color exposed a bunch of old perverts.

At first, the comments section was discussing the island scenery and wishing President Gu a speedy recovery, but soon a group of Minions steered the topic toward the late-night section.

Under the immense pressure of Assistant Song's death stare, Taoyao's public relations department clicked on the report until the mouse was smoking before finally censoring those lewd comments.

After completing the task and seeing off the big boss, the public relations manager slumped in his office chair, exhausted to the point of collapse.

I thought the PR department's workload would be lighter since the boss was accompanying President Gu...

God knows that other celebrities can't even get on the trending topics list even if they spend money, but my boss has to use connections to get his Weibo post removed from the trending list! Many of the excessive comments in the comment section were deleted, and the fans of the "little yellow" idol don't dare to go to the idol's face, so they can only vent their passion in the group chat.

To be honest, when I watched these travel shows before, I wasn't really into this couple. They seemed so innocent, like high school students, even holding hands made me blush. How did the atmosphere suddenly become so great? Isn't this just forcing us to ship them?!

[I get it, sister, I get it! Before, it was like she was just starting to experience love, but now it's like she's headed straight for a passionate romance—so innocent yet so alluring!]

[President Gu's hair has gotten longer! This outfit makes him look like a dark-skinned gym student—too mature for his age!]

[It must have been Tao Tao who put together the outfit; the baby has great taste! Take lots of pictures, I love them!!]

[They're wearing matching outfits! They look so good together. My favorite couple is the sweetest in the world!]

[Didn't you guys notice? The difference in body size is a bit too exaggerated! Mr. Gu's forearm is thicker than Tao Tao's calf. Is this even real?]

[This is terrifying! Those hands are so big, they completely cover my woman's waist! I'm a little worried about her safety...]

[Damn, this feels like I'm reading a hentai comic. One's all pink and white, the other's a dark-skinned, muscular hunk... *slurp*]

[Drawing erotic comics like this gets you criticized, okay?! It's beyond my limited imagination!]

[President Gu could hold someone in his arms with just one hand, rendering them unable to move...]

Does anyone remember the photo of CEO Gu in a swimsuit from the trip?!

【Oh my god, I remember now!!! One word! Exceptionally gifted!】

Wow, I'm really a little worried about baby Peach...

I'll refrain from saying anything too explicit.

Why are you running so fast upstairs?! Don't you dare fantasize about my husband or wife!

[Ugh, I'm just a random passerby, but I'm actually a little tempted to try this. Do you have any meal replacements? I really need them!!!]

[Questioning President Gu, envying President Gu, what's the next step to becoming President Gu?!]

[You upstairs are so bold! How could you break up such a perfect couple?! I'm different, I'm here to join this family!!!]

[After seeing so many ugly fish, even the backs of the Peach Blossom Couple are so beautiful they make me cry. It's so unfair for someone who's obsessed with good looks...]

[Aaaaaah, any author willing to write a story about marriage of convenience that blossoms into love and then a passionate romance? My baby's starving... 995! 995!]

Ye Zhenzhen was unaware that many perverts had infiltrated her fanbase, and the explicit content in her fanfiction had skyrocketed. She was taken aback by the censored comments section, thinking that no one had noticed her hard-earned muscles. She secretly resolved to work out more when she got back, and then turned to prepare for her live stream.

ZDK is nominated for a music awards ceremony tonight, and may even win an award. Her boss can't be there in person, but she will still call to encourage him.

Taoyao's official Weibo account posted early on, announcing that they would be doing a live stream that afternoon, exclusively revealing the behind-the-scenes preparations for ZDK's participation in the music festival.

Ye Zhenzhen reposted this Weibo post and added the caption: "It's a pity I can't return to China to attend this grand event. I'll be live-streaming on Weibo with ZDK at 5 PM this afternoon. Don't miss it!"

She recently went to an island, and apart from the photos she posted on Weibo, she hasn't made any public appearances. Her fans and casual observers were in an uproar when they saw this Weibo post, and the news spread like wildfire.

As 5 p.m. approached, the number of viewers in the live stream increased exponentially.

[Peach Blossom is finally going to do a live stream!!]

[Waaaaah, the missing person from Umiguchi has returned! This is something I've never seen in my lifetime!]

[Mr. Ye, do you even remember you're an artist? What's with all this disappearing act?]

[Thank you for your guidance, boss! Boss Ye's first live stream was actually to promote ZDK! ZDK fans are so touched!!!]

[I heard it's to accompany President Gu as he recovers from his injury. I wonder if President Gu will appear on screen. The fans of the Peach Blossom Couple are starving...]

[Speaking of the Peach Blossom Couple, it's outrageous. They can attract a bunch of Minions just by posting a picture of their backs. Unbelievable.]

In the entertainment industry, there are many real couples and fake spouses on and off screen who show their affection in front of the camera. Knowing that the audience and fans like to ship couples, they throw out all sorts of artificial sweeteners, feeding people cloying sweetness.

Even the most popular on-screen couples don't generate as many CP fans as the Peach Blossom Couple.

The difference in body size and skin color between the two is so appealing that just a few photos of their backs are enough to make fans of Asians scream with excitement.

Fans, who had been starving for a long time and couldn't find any meal replacements, started cutting off their own legs to produce their own content.

These CP fans were also secretly waiting, and they had high expectations for today's live broadcast.

However, the threat of having their posts deleted and points deducted from yesterday was still there, so the comment section was quite harmonious for a while. The yellow-skinned fans didn't dare to cause trouble and just silently watched the screen.

---

Because of the time difference, it was already evening in City A, but it was still noon on the island. Ye Zhenzhen chose a living room on the second floor, where the floor-to-ceiling windows behind her could be seen from the distant sea.

She sat on the sofa, and Gu Tingshen tidied up the cushions behind her, adjusted the live stream camera for her, and then sat down beside her, slowly brewing tea.

After brewing, I handed her the hammered glass cup filled with light green tea.

Inside the Fengming Building, ZDK's seven members had already changed into haute couture gowns and were interacting with fans in the live stream while waiting for their manager, Brother Song, to connect with the boss.

It was their first time participating in a music festival, and they were all boys around 20 years old. They were vibrant and radiant, and their haute couture gowns accentuated their great figures, which they had honed through dance training. The fans in the live stream were excitedly cheering.

Wow, my Bin is so handsome!! Taoyao is really generous, all of them!

Wow, that D brand haute couture gown!!!

Is this the joy of raising a child? Rong Bao's slicked-back hair is so handsome! The stylist deserves a bonus!

[Binbin was so cool today! He looked like a big brother leading a group of younger siblings! It made my legs weak!!]

[I can't be a mom fan today!!! I'm going to become a girlfriend fan of Lin Zai!]

[Curly-haired Xinxin is so cute, definitely a little sister!! Our little darling is so adorable, let me kiss her!!]

[It's a pity Boss Ye wasn't here today, otherwise he would have been a real photographer's dream on the red carpet! The Peach Blossom Clan really does pick people based on looks!!!]

As the team leader, Xu Bin kept a close eye on the comments. When he saw a fan mention his boss, he quickly looked at his manager. After receiving a signal from Song Yuanshan, he took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Although our boss can't attend the ceremony today, he attaches great importance to this event and is very grateful to the Z fans for their support of ZDK. He specially wants to meet everyone through a live broadcast today!"

As he finished speaking, the other six members also quieted down, gathered in front of the camera, and watched as their captain pressed the live chat icon. For a moment, their breathing slowed down with tension.

The video call connected, and a face appeared on the screen at an extremely close distance. Thick eyelashes were clearly visible, and bright, clear eyes pierced through the screen, striking everyone watching the live stream.

It seemed to be a signal problem, as a puzzled female voice came through the microphone, "Old Gu, I clicked but there's no response, is it not connected?"

Then, Gu Tingshen's handsome face appeared on the screen. "Let me see. Okay, it must be a signal delay."

At that moment, viewers watching the live stream felt like they were being bombarded by the beauty filters on the screen.

The ZDK group consists of seven young men, the oldest being no more than 21 and the youngest just 19. Their temperaments range from strong to gentle, and they all have great physiques from years of dance training. Some are muscular, while others are tall and slender. They have different styles but are all equally handsome and vibrant.

Needless to say, the Peach Blossom Couple possessed exceptional bone structure and physical appearance.

Ye Zhenzhen didn't even wear makeup. Her thick black hair was tied in a bun on top of her head, with loose strands falling naturally, making her look fresh and radiant.

Gu Tingshen's medium-length black hair draped over his high brow bone, making his eyes appear even more profound.

This live stream is simply a paradise for fans of good looks.

Team leader Xu Bin is just 20 years old, but perhaps because he developed early, his 185cm height and strong, well-defined muscles make him appear exceptionally mature and composed compared to the other six.

As the temporary host of the CUE process, the usually calm and composed leader started stammering as soon as he looked at the screen, much to the dismay of his teammates.

"Peach, um, good afternoon, boss!"

Good afternoon, boss!

"Hello everyone, you've worked hard lately!" Ye Zhenzhen came over again and greeted the seven children opposite her and the viewers in front of the screen.

She thought the children were just too nervous because the ceremony was approaching, so she kept comforting them, "It's okay, being nominated is already a great achievement. Your fans have seen all your hard work. Don't be too nervous, just relax and enjoy the stage!"

"Yes! We will definitely give you the best performance!"

"Thank you so much for your support, ZDK fans! Without you, there would be no ZDK today!"

The team members took turns speaking, changing the subject and finally giving Xu Bin some time to adjust.

Ye Zhenzhen was busy chatting with the seven girls opposite her and didn't notice this unusual situation. Gu Tingshen, however, saw it clearly and silently opened Weibo on his phone to watch the live stream.

The fans watching the live stream had already sensed something unusual, and their "sweet moments" radar went off like crazy.

[Haha, the captain seems to be a huge fan of Tao Tao; look how nervous the kid is, her ears are all red.]

[Is Binbin trying to call out to Taotao? The kid got so excited to see his idol, hahaha]

[Brother Bin's image has collapsed! Where did his usual calm and composed demeanor go? Why are his ears all red?]

[Notice Rongbao's arm; it looks like it's reminding him from behind!]

[Speaking of which, Tao Tao and Bin Bao are the same age! One's a boss, the other's a popular idol...wow, I'm kind of tempted to ship them...]

[If you calculate it this way, Boss Ye is only in his early twenties, the same age as these idols! The Peach Blossom Couple is eight years apart, oh my god, that's incredibly much older man/younger woman dynamic!]

[Shut upstairs, Mr. Gu is furious. He's grinding his teeth to dust.]

[Haha, President Gu had almost disappeared from the scene, but as soon as Binbin spoke, he came right back!!]

[Notice that huge hand in the bottom left corner of the screen, sliding down from the back of the sofa to Tao Tao's waist—it looks so natural!! Just imagining President Gu making tea with one hand off-camera, feeding his wife, keeping an eye on the little wolf cub, and maybe even gnashing his teeth while reading the comments section makes me want to laugh!!!]

[Domineering CEO? NO NO NO! Today I'm a jealous bastard!!!]

Fortunately, these comments were mixed in with a large number of "ahhh" comments and scrolled very quickly, so they didn't cause a big commotion.

The words "same age" and "eight years apart" pierced Gu Tingshen's heart like arrows, making him hold the other person even tighter.

Song Yuanshan kept giving them meaningful glances, and Xu Bin finally glanced at the annoying hand on his boss's side, mustered his stage presence, put on a professional smile, and pulled his teammates aside for a few rounds of interaction before finally turning the tide in the comments section.

Ye Zhenzhen answered several questions from the audience, and for most of the time she earnestly praised the members of ZDK.

[I didn't expect Ye Zhenzhen to know the members so well; this doesn't seem like a prepared script.]

[I heard from a trainee at Taoyao that the boss sometimes watches their classes.]

I really want to see them in class! They haven't been posting as many videos lately. Could you record a company variety show? Their daily life seems so fun.

As soon as the suggestion was made, the comments section immediately began to second it.

Wow, great idea! No script needed, just seeing beautiful young girls and boys is the greatest happiness!!!

+1

......

[+10086!]

[Princess Tao, please! Our impoverished lives desperately need this kind of entertainment!!!]

After seeing it, Ye Zhenzhen really thought about it and it seemed feasible.

The team has all the equipment readily available, and everyone is already proficient in the work.

There are many benefits. It can increase the exposure and attract fans for established artists, and it can also help trainees who have not yet debuted to become familiar with the audience and build their popularity.

"Well," she smiled good-naturedly, without giving a direct answer, "we need to ask for everyone's opinion. After all, they've already taken on an extra task and are very busy and tired."

Song Yuanshan's eyes lit up; he keenly sensed the opportunity hidden within.

After the broadcast, chat with Assistant Song to choose a script and start a segment on C-site, which is invested in by our boss. This two-way traffic generation will definitely attract more fans!

Xu Bin and his teammates' eyes lit up, their gazes filled with excitement and ambition as they looked at the screen.

"We're not tired!"

"Yes, boss, we go back to the practice room every day and dance!"

......

The live chat was filled with comments like, "Give the kids a chance!"

Seeing how excited they were, as if they couldn't wait to start recording right now, what else could Ye Zhenzhen say?

She looked at the group of energetic young men and couldn't help but smile.

Being young and giving your all for your dreams, regardless of the consequences—that's what makes idols so appealing!
