Chapter 22
Lu Zixi's eyes suddenly widened.
It's not that he didn't see the topic related to Yan Yunzhen in the barrage just now, but he didn't take it seriously, and silently criticized this group of people for having such a big imagination that they even dared to make fun of Yan Yunzhen. No matter what others said, he didn't believe that Yan Yunzhen was really watching his live broadcast silently on the screen. This person didn't have that much free time, and to put it bluntly, he was just an ordinary little artist now. Why did Yan Yunzhen always keep his eyes on him?
But Yan Yunzhen's tone...
While Lu Zixi was confused, he suddenly remembered a comment that had just flashed by, saying that Yan Yunzhen had retweeted his Weibo and said...
He likes it very much?
Damn, this can’t be true!
Lu Zixi quickly exited the chat interface and clicked on Yan Yunzhen’s Weibo homepage.
The ingredients in the pot were simmering on their own, and he didn't need to worry about it. Besides, the original owner always spoke very little during live broadcasts, and the fans were used to it, so it was no problem not to interact for a short time. Lu Zixi lowered his head and looked at his phone for a while, not knowing that in just a few minutes, the barrage of comments was flooded again.
[Brother, do you know that I can see your phone screen from this angle? [Laughing and crying][Laughing and crying]]
[Hahahahahaha little brother is exposed]
[Oh my god, so silly and cute hhhhhh why did I only discover this treasure today]
[And this couple! One was secretly watching the other's live broadcast, and the other was still checking the other's Weibo during the live broadcast. The key is that both of them were too proud to pay attention to each other.]
[Yan Yunzhen just followed me!! Oh my god!]
[The little brother replied to the fan in seconds...]
[I wonder if we are the first to like the Yan Lu couple... This is too sweet... Officials force them to die together]
[I'm a staff member at Changxing... Changxing is the company that little brother signed with. Let me tell you a little secret. It's well known within the company that little brother is a die-hard fan of Yan Yunzhen... the kind whose house is full of posters, peripherals, and magazines.]
[…Everyone, look at the lower right corner of the screen. What’s on that desk?]
[Poster… the limited edition poster I gave Yan Yunzhen when he was on the cover of Aurora magazine.]
[And he’s really old, right? Ten years ago? I remember it was an interview with a male god who was only coming of age… He was only twelve ten years ago, hahhh oh my god]
[…Thumbs up for the class representative]
[My former admiration slowly turned into affection. I tried hard to catch up with you, but I didn’t know that you were also silently watching me... I love this couple so much, the sweetness is off the charts]
After reading the Weibo, Lu Zixi was still in a daze. He looked up and was met with a mess of comments. He blinked and didn't react for a long time.
When he saw what the comments were saying, he almost burst out laughing: "What did you all see?"
[You may not believe it, but you saw it [fist hug]]
[Hahaha, little brother's expression]
[It felt like, “Oh no! I was absent-minded in class and got called out by the teacher…”]
[It’s so cute, so cute that for the first time I don’t want to be a girlfriend fan, I want to be a mom fan]
Lu Zixi looked at the dense barrage of comments with mixed feelings. He sincerely discussed, "Can we just forget about it and pretend nothing happened?"
If he wasn't doing a live broadcast, he really wanted to call Yan Yunzhen directly to find out!
This attitude is too ambiguous. Not only do his fans think he himself feels something is wrong. A rich second-generation movie star who always presents himself as aloof pays so much attention to a young artist who has just debuted, giving him resources, supporting him when he encounters problems, and quietly paying attention to the young artist's work. What else can this be but a love story?
He almost thought that Yan Yunzhen was really interested in him!
For some reason, Lu Zixi suddenly recalled the Werewolf card that revealed Yan Yunzhen's identity as a prophet.
According to the Shengun system, he is most likely the host of a system, so could it be that his mission is to conquer himself, or Lu Wenqi?
That's a huge mistake...
While Lu Zixi was lost in thought, people in the barrage continued to amuse themselves by brushing the "Yan Lu" CP. Their imaginations were so big that they even came up with fan memes, which made him laugh and cry.
"What are you guys talking about?" Lu Zixi smiled helplessly, pretending not to see the CP topic. He stood up, looked at his small pot, and opened the lid. "Come and eat."
Half an hour later, the eating show finally came to a successful conclusion in this chaotic environment.
It had to be said that, while the red envelopes the Doomsday Survival System gave him always had their share of hiccups, overall they were quite useful. In his previous life, Lu Zixi was a prodigy who couldn't even make instant noodles properly. He'd initially worried that his food streaming career wouldn't work, but thankfully, he was a skilled cook, his instinctive memory still intact, and coupled with the gourmet red envelopes, his cooking skills were astonishing. Add to that Lu Zixi's already impressive image, and with the added influence of top-tier influencers like Yan Yunzhen, he quickly became a viral sensation online, his popularity soaring.
As he became popular, many people questioned him, suspecting that this was just another clumsy hype. After all, this newcomer has no formal works, but he has so many spontaneous fans. Doesn’t this sound funny?
But once Yan Zhi's digital album officially launched and began charting, the fresh, innocent image of a young man in the title track instantly swept through like the wind, captivating everyone's heart. That youthful energy evoked a sense of nostalgia bordering on moving, and the immersive experience created by her superb acting made it impossible to forget the moment was just a few minutes long. Even by the end of the performance, the audience hadn't quite gotten over it. Unsatisfied, viewers naturally began searching for other films starring the actor, but to no avail. This sparked a wave of curiosity: Who is the actor playing the male lead?
Once it became clear he was Lu Wenqi, the "little brother" who had recently become a viral sensation on Weibo and livestreaming platforms, those who had previously been skeptical and even mocking him suddenly changed their tune. His clean, clear demeanor was like a natural magnet, attracting endless favor. As his fan base skyrocketed, so did those questioning Changxing's approach. An artist with such excellent acting skills and exceptional credentials would have been heavily promoted elsewhere, but he chose to sign with a small, unassuming company like Changxing. If it weren't for Yuanhong's auditions, how long would such a talent have remained buried?
For a time, Changxing's Weibo posts were flooded with messages pleading with the company not to hold back the younger brother. Some even tagged Yuanhong directly, saying that if Changxing didn't want to provide him with resources, they should give him a way out and let him find another boss. Even Lu Zixi's Weibo posts were flooded with comments urging him to change agencies and not waste his prime years at such a company.
Lu Zixi had been through the entertainment industry once before, so he remained relatively calm. He knew changing agencies would likely be a protracted battle, and he didn't particularly care about the outside world's assessment of his current situation. Changxing, on the other hand, had become so disorganized that Lu Zixi found it almost unbelievable. His agent, Zhao Zhiping, called him almost daily to warn him, even considering transforming from agent to 24-hour assistant, constantly monitoring his contact with Yuanhong, as if he were on guard against a thief.
A few days later, perhaps because he was really unable to bear it anymore, Changxing finally stood up.
First came a long Weibo post stating that the company did not mistreat the artists, and then came a sentence that shocked everyone.
[@长兴娱乐v: @陆闻启whattoeattodayv Everyone's "little brother" is preparing for the TV series "The Domineering School Prince Falls in Love with Me", so stay tuned!]
What was even more unexpected for everyone was that Lu Zixi himself did not cooperate at all——
[@陆闻启whattoeattodayv: [Retweet: @长兴娱乐v] Sorry, I don’t have any.]
