Chapter 248 Xiaole Official Announcement
Extra 1
After the award ceremony, Weibo was flooded with Su Leyun’s affectionate confession to Chu Yanxiao on the stage.
CP fans partyed the whole night, and the top ten hot searches were almost all dominated by topics related to "Strange Stories from Mountains and Seas".
At the celebration banquet, Su Leyun was forced to drink a lot of wine. His cheeks were slightly red, but his eyes were sparkling. Chu Yanxiao protected him the whole time, blocking the wine, picking up the dishes, and passing him water. His movements were so natural as if he had been taking care of him like this all his life.
"Are you tired?" Chu Yanxiao asked him in a low voice: "Do you want to go back to the hotel and rest?"
Su Leyun shook his head and leaned on his shoulder with a smile: "It's okay, just a little dizzy."
Chu Yanxiao chuckled, put his arm around his waist and helped him into the car.
After returning to the hotel, Su Leyun just pushed open the door of the suite and was stunned by the scene in front of him.
The whole room was decorated romantically and warmly, with rose petals covering the floor, flickering candlelight, and outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was the night view of the entire city, as bright as a galaxy of stars.
Chu Yanxiao pulled him to the window and took out a ring from his pocket like magic.
"Le Le," he said in a low voice, his eyes focused and gentle, "I have been waiting for this moment for two lifetimes."
Su Leyun blinked and stretched out his hand unconsciously.
Chu Yanxiao knelt on one knee and looked up at him: "Will you marry me?"
"Of course I would!" Su Leyun answered quickly and decisively. He stretched out his hand and let Chu Yanxiao put the ring on his ring finger.
The two hugged and kissed, the candlelight illuminating their profiles, as if at this moment, they were the only ones left in the world.
However, at this happiest moment, Su Leyun's cell phone suddenly rang, and then Chu Yanxiao's cell phone also vibrated. Su Leyun suddenly had a very bad premonition.
After the call was connected, the agent Sikou Qianying's voice came from the other end of the phone, hurried and nervous: "Lele, something happened! A video suddenly broke out on Weibo, and the hit rate increased very quickly! I sent it to you, you can take a look!"
Su Leyun was stunned. He hung up the phone and opened Weibo. The top trending search had become [Chu Yanxiao meets mysterious woman at night]. When he clicked on the link sent by Sikou Qianying, it was a video of Chu Yanxiao and a woman lying on the bed. In the video, Chu Yanxiao was sleeping and the woman was lying next to him. The shooting angle was tricky, but it could be seen that the two were behaving intimately.
"What is Chu Yanxiao doing? Being gay during the day and sleeping with people at night?"
"So Su Leyun confessed on stage, and Chu Yanxiao cheated on her off stage?"
Su Leyun stared at the screen, his expression gradually freezing.
"Le Le, what happened?" Chu Yanxiao noticed his mood, reached out to take his phone, and looked at it with a shocked expression: "I..."
Before he could finish his explanation, Su Leyun said, "I know what you want to say. I believe you."
The gossip was about what was filmed and followed a few days ago, but Chu Yanxiao was almost inseparable from him in recent days and had no time to meet with any mysterious woman.
Besides, she was not a mysterious woman at all. She was the one who was born on the same day and month as him and was almost switched to be the little girl of the Su family, his half-sister—Zhou Yuqian!
Su Leyun knew clearly that there was no way Chu Yanxiao could have anything with her, but even so, he still felt so angry when he saw such a video being exposed.
Knowing that Su Leyun trusted him, Chu Yanxiao was no longer panicked, and his eyes showed a fierceness: "No matter who did it, I will never let them off easily this time!"
"This picture is a composite," Su Leyun observed the picture carefully and was very sure: "It's fake."
Chu Yanxiao immediately picked up the phone and quickly arranged for Si Kou Qianying and his team to search the entire Internet for the original image, and at the same time contacted a professional appraisal agency for analysis.
The two of them were in no mood to stay in the hotel, so they rushed back to the company to deal with this public relations crisis with Sikou Qianying and others.
However, things were far more complicated than they had imagined - the photo was photoshopped so finely that there were almost no flaws, and the original photo could not be found on the entire Internet.
"Damn it," Sikou Qianying cursed for the first time, "These people are sure that netizens love to watch melodrama. Even if we show them the appraisal report, they can still say that it's our PR that's fake."
Chu Yanxiao stood aside with a gloomy face, his fingers unconsciously stroking the ring on his ring finger.
As soon as he successfully proposed, someone was eager to ruin the moment.
"LeLe," he asked in a low voice, "is there any way?"
Su Leyun closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Of course, his abilities are not limited to communicating with animals - as the reincarnation of Bai Ze, he has an almost instinctive perception of all things in the world.
In his eyes, those tampered images and edited videos can be traced back to their original traces.
After a few seconds, he opened his eyes, picked up the computer, and tapped his fingers rapidly on the keyboard.
“Found it.”
A video popped up on the screen. It was a video from a vlog shot by a couple blogger. The intimate video that went viral online was taken from this video, and then the faces in the screenshot were replaced with Chu Yanxiao and Zhou Yuqian's faces.
Everyone present was stunned, especially the data experts who were called in to analyze the images. Even after many years of working in the industry, this was the first time they had seen such an operation.
"This guy's photo-editing skills are indeed amazing," Su Leyun sneered, "but no matter how amazing he is, he can't change the facts."
Sikou Qianying immediately sent the video to the public relations team and contacted several well-known image identification experts in the industry.
In less than ten minutes, the topic #楚燕晓视频真知# directly became a hot search topic, and the professional comparative analysis chart was forwarded crazily.
Although it was already late at night, the interval between the reversals was only two hours. Netizens who stayed up late got to eat the freshest melon and everyone discussed it with gusto.
[Oh shit!] This photo-editing technique is amazing! It’s such a shame to use this technology to spread rumors! 】
[I was wondering how it was possible that Mr. Chu cheated! Even if you believe that I am Qin Shi Huang, you cannot believe that Mr. Chu is cheating! 】
Public opinion reversed instantly, and passers-by who were originally watching the show took sides one after another. Those marketing accounts that were trying to stir up trouble quickly deleted their posts and pretended to be dead. Zhou Yuqian was originally excitedly watching this farce that she had created herself, but she was not happy for long because everything was over. What followed was a swarm of abuse and harassment from netizens.
"Ah!" She screamed in despair and threw her phone away, hitting it against the wall and breaking into pieces.
Chu Yanxiao stood in front of the French window, looking at the night view of the city, with a sneer on his face: "Have you found out where she is?"
The assistant pushed up his glasses and said, "I found out."
The smile on Chu Yanxiao's face became colder: "I want her to be ruined."
The assistant nodded: "Understood, Mr. Chu."
At one o'clock in the morning, the names of Chu Yanxiao and Su Leyun were still very popular on Weibo. Everyone was in a heated discussion. Su Leyun leaned in Chu Yanxiao's arms, and the two of them looked through the comments of netizens together, and occasionally participated in them.
Su Leyun held Chu Yanxiao's hand and said, "These netizens are so talented. But I really didn't expect that after such a long time, I would be able to see Zhou Yuqian jumping in front of me again."
Chu Yanxiao lowered his head and kissed his forehead: "Luckily you are here this time. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to find the original picture so quickly."
Su Leyun chuckled: "Of course, otherwise how can I be your fiancé?"
Chu Yanxiao was in a good mood after hearing the word "fiancé". He hugged Su Leyun tighter and said, "I haven't told my aunt yet. We need to have a meal together someday."
Suddenly, Su Leyun stood up and looked at Chu Yanxiao with a sly look on his face: "Do you want to do something exciting?"
Chu Yanxiao swallowed his saliva, reached out and began to unbutton his clothes. When he had almost taken off all his clothes, Su Leyun lowered his head and started editing his Weibo.
Chu Yanxiao asked awkwardly: "What are you writing?"
Su Leyun opened Chu Yanxiao's phone: "You have to write too!"
A few minutes later, Su Leyun updated a photo on his Weibo - he was pulling Chu Yanxiao's collar, Chu Yanxiao was stroking his cheek with one hand, and the two were kissing in the morning light.
The rings on their ring fingers reflected the light, and you could tell at a glance that they were a couple.
The caption only has five words:
[Chu Yanxiao, my @Chu Yanxiao]
Three seconds later, Chu Yanxiao forwarded the same photo, and even the text was in pairs.
【Su Leyun, my @Su Leyun】
