Chapter 82 Chapter 82 Hmm... This is very Yu Shuling.
"Teacher You, it's been a long time."
As soon as You Jingzhou pushed open the door to the private room, he saw Yu Shuling wave to him. But when his gaze fell on the equally young and beautiful girl next to him, he had no intention of appreciating her at all. He only felt that there was a shining light bulb sitting next to him, but the light bulb was oblivious and even smiled and nodded at him with a slightly restrained expression.
You Jingzhou silently shed tears in his heart.
This is absolutely not the same as his plan!
You Jingzhou imagined that he should have the opportunity to have a meal alone with Yu Shuling. Of course, he didn't dare to have the idea of confessing his feelings, guessing that Yu Shuling would definitely not accept it. But spending more time together could help develop their relationship.
It seems that Yu Shuling doesn't have any feelings for him at all. During the meal, she mostly interacted with Chuan Nai, and the two girls shared a joke they heard at a fan meeting, laughing heartily together. Only You Jingzhou seemed a little uneasy, absentmindedly curling his lips.
He even wondered if he was being too narcissistic and fell into deep reflection.
So the meal was eaten in unusual silence.
After Yu Shuling and he became more familiar, she naturally didn't skimp on the food when ordering. This restaurant wasn't cheap; it was the kind of place where the food was delicious but visually appealing, perfect for taking photos. The two girls took a bunch of pictures with their little dolls, but Yu Shuling noticed that You Jingzhou didn't seem very interested, so she teased him:
"Does Teacher You think we've eaten too much?"
"No, it's just that I suddenly remembered that we haven't been able to secure a venue for our upcoming tour, and someone else has already booked it. I'm thinking about which venue would be more suitable for us."
The topic jumped around quite a bit, but it was still reasonably plausible. Since everyone involved in music and concerts, the conversation quickly returned to the topic, and You Jingzhou's earlier slight emotional outburst was ignored. It wasn't until after dinner, when he had seen the two girls off to their cars, that he allowed himself to wallow in his disappointment.
He stubbornly refused to admit it when his assistant mentioned it, but he gradually realized that he actually had different feelings for Yu Shuling. After seeing Xiao Mulin that day, he had a strange feeling in his heart.
Aside from his aversion to his love rival, You Jingzhou was a rather perceptive and perceptive person. He could sense that Xiao Lin was not simply a presumptuous young master who came to harass him.
That night, for the first time, he felt Yu Shuling's deep hatred for Xiao Lin.
Even when facing the previously disliked Jiang Wenxi and the company, Yu Shuling always remained calm and composed, seemingly not taking it to heart. Despite her young age, she seemed to handle everything with ease, yet she didn't appear overly mature or boring; her whole being exuded a vibrant energy.
What exactly is her relationship with Xiao Lin?
You Jingzhou pondered this alone for a long time, but ultimately had to steer the relationship towards the melodramatic theme of "ex." After all, Xiao Lin's familiar manner towards Yu Shuling back then suggested they were very close, as if they were used to intimate gestures, and it all felt very natural.
Although he had never been in a relationship, as a young man in his twenties, You Jingzhou had at least seen things before, so when he guessed this possibility, he didn't feel much jealousy, but rather a little heartache and curiosity.
He instinctively felt that Xiao Lin must have hurt Yu Shuling, and hurt her badly, which was why she was so defensive and prickly.
As for how Yu Shuling started dating, he ignored that, since it was just his own speculation.
After all, it was still far from certain. You Jingzhou was dejected for a while, but then he threw himself into his work. Preparing for the upcoming tour would take up a lot of his energy. In comparison, he felt that romance didn't need to take up so much of his time.
The days passed peacefully, and You Jingzhou's tour went very smoothly. He would post a nine-grid photo on his WeChat Moments after visiting each city. He was a very good photographer and had even bought a camera specifically for sharing his daily life and promoting his business.
As a singer-songwriter, You Jingzhou is the type who loves to promote himself, even more so than many idols. However, he rarely posts selfies, instead sharing more scenery and food photos. Later, because his photos resembled those of a food blogger and were considered to be subtly advertising, he stopped posting food photos on public platforms.
After returning home that day, Yu Shuling maintained a normal friendship with him. Although there was already some tacit understanding between them, Yu Shuling did not want to break the unspoken agreement unless You Jingzhou brought it up, as she might lose this friend.
Two months later, Lyra released their new album. All the main tracks were produced by Li Song and Zhong Xinfan without outsourcing, which sparked considerable discussion, and the album's pre-sale sales were already very impressive.
The manager arranged for them to take turns commenting on various music platforms after the song was released, which was a kind of publicity to generate buzz. However, at 6 p.m. that day, in addition to the song release, related trending topics also became popular on social media.
#Yu Shuling and Zhao Cheng#
#Lyra's persona collapses#
#lyra plagiarism#
Marketing accounts that were originally sending out Lyra's new song suddenly started forwarding so-called insider revelations, as well as Zhao Cheng's late-night live stream last night, where he cried and complained about how he was completely fooled by Yu Shuling.
Zhao Cheng was one of the male guests on "Heartbeat Acceleration Project," which was Yu Shuling's first solo variety show on Lyra, and also the beginning of her true rise to fame. You Jingzhou didn't pay attention when she was on variety shows. Although he later developed a liking for Yu Shuling and watched the group variety shows, he still subconsciously avoided dating variety shows and only watched a little bit of Yu Shuling's comeback scenes.
Zhao Cheng is a rich second-generation heir with good looks, so he has quite a few fans online. Last night, he did a live stream with some internet celebrity friend. Because he had drunk too much, he talked about his past relationships. Although Zhao Cheng didn't explicitly name names, he still made some sarcastic remarks about Yu Shuling.
On the trending topics, Yu Shuling's haters and Zhao Cheng's fans seized the opportunity to portray Yu Shuling as a fickle and manipulative woman, using many disgusting terms that made people frown.
This trending topic was even more popular than the plagiarism hashtag. You Jingzhou then looked at the so-called plagiarism post, which was even more ambiguous. This move was clearly premeditated.
At present, things are still calm at Lyra's company. You Jingzhou sent a message to Yu Shuling, waited a few minutes, and when she didn't reply, he opened the dating reality show.
It wasn't because of distrust, but precisely because of complete trust, that he was even more curious about what reason Zhao Cheng had found to attack Yu Shuling.
The official videos of "Heartbeat" have been broadcast on several platforms. On L station, each episode has already exceeded one million views. You Jingzhou started watching from the first episode. He didn't leave his computer during lunch break. Instead, he just ordered takeout and ate it. Gradually, he noticed something was wrong.
Yu Shuling's initial image wasn't terrible, but it certainly wasn't likable. You Jingzhou could even tell, as a guy, that Yu Shuling initially gave Chen Qiyang a subtle hint, not very obviously, that he could pursue her.
Even without real romantic experience, as an adult, one can tell from their every smile and glance that it's more like a test that goes beyond friendship.
Moreover, he seemed wooden and had an indescribable feeling about him, which was very different from the current Yu Shuling.
So initially, the comments were mostly attacking her. Then, when Yu Shuling and Zhao Cheng were paired together, and their private conversation wasn't shown on camera, Yu Shuling started throwing a tantrum. The worst thing for a variety show is a lack of talking points, so even controversial topics are edited in. Whether it was malicious editing or not, there are still many insults and attacks online, all saying Yu Shuling is being difficult.
Female celebrities inherently face more attacks than male celebrities, and are often judged and defined by higher standards. Later, when Yu Shuling and Zhao Cheng were doing tasks and even "dating," she took Zhao Cheng to the gym, exposing his "fitness fanatic" image and revealing his cowardice and chauvinism. She also pointed out that Chen Qiyang, despite his seemingly innocent appearance, was actually full of scheming. She also criticized Huang Dingyu. Among the male guests, only the honest and upright actor Zhang Deqi and blogger Lin Mucai were left uncriticized by her.
As he read on, You Jingzhou couldn't help but laugh several times. Only now did he feel that familiar vibrancy returning to Yu Shuling.
It is also full of exciting vitality.
You Jingzhou squinted his handsome eyes, yawned, and realized that he had been watching for quite some time without realizing it. During this time, apart from getting up to get a takeout order and throw away a box, going to the bathroom and making tea, he hadn't done anything else. As he became more engrossed in watching, some questions began to emerge. Rather than the definite answer that Zhao Cheng had orchestrated the whole thing, a bizarre guess even flashed through his mind.
Then, when I opened Weibo again, I found that the plagiarism controversy had already been addressed by Zhong Xinfan and Li Song in a live stream, and the trending topic had changed to:
#LyraLive#
#Former guest of "Heartbeat" speaks out#
#Yu Shuling responds to the feeling of being incredibly alive#
#Yu Shuling apologizes#
Some netizens have taken screenshots showing Yu Shuling using a secondary account on the internet to ask a question in the comment section of Zhao Cheng's latest Weibo post:
【You think you're so great, you scoundrel? You can't get what you want, so you start yelling. Why don't you show my main account that I blocked?】
Shortly afterward, she was probably reprimanded by her company. She deleted the sentence and responded on her main account, apologizing for her inappropriate remarks as a public figure. Her tone was extremely PR-oriented.
Zhao Cheng's online celebrity friend deleted the live stream replay and has remained silent ever since.
A few hours ago, Yu Shuling had already replied to his message, which was roughly to reassure You Jingzhou not to worry, that she could handle it herself, and that she regretted that Zhao Cheng, that coward, did not dare to appear in front of her again, otherwise she could have vented her anger first.
Hmm... that's so Yu Shuling.
