Chapter 44
Although it was not him who encountered the problem, Yao Yingmo was busy accompanying him for two days.
As soon as she got home, she didn't even take a shower or change her clothes. She forced herself to go into the bathroom and splashed water on her face as a wash. Then she floated to the bed like a wandering soul. Her knees went weak as soon as they touched the bed, and she fell into the quilt on the bed, closing her eyes in a second.
She completely forgot that Li Yicheng asked her to check Weibo as soon as she got home to see the direction of public opinion, and slept through the night.
So the next day, she finally regained consciousness with the help of a cup of strong black coffee after breakfast. When she remembered that she had to do the task assigned by Li Yicheng, she had basically missed the best reaction time.
It is indeed as Li Yicheng said, she should be thankful that at least this is not negative public opinion.
After yesterday's series of clarifications, netizens were initially outraged, passionately condemning Yingfeng's actions. This was also the part Yao Yingmo watched closely.
But netizens' imaginations are always wild, and the focus of the topic shifted unconsciously. At the time, they thought the clarification was complete and the effect was good, and they were celebrating happily, not noticing that the focus of the topic had veered off course like a wild horse.
First came a comment that was completely out of place in the furious discussion area:
"I want to ask, does anyone else find the Zhaohe x Huguang pairing a good one? The story of a young fanboy who successfully chases his idol and rises to fame is super inspiring."
This message touched the hearts of netizens, and the entire discussion finally went completely off track.
"Actually, I want to say that Hu Guang is a role model for all fans. Through his own hard work, he went from being just another fan to becoming a collaborator who can interact with his idol face to face, and finally even got to be with his idol (dog head saves life: I guessed). He is truly a winner on the road to stardom!"
"My focus is on them both being good-looking. A handsome man and a beautiful woman standing together is a feast for the eyes. If they're not together yet, can you push them together?"
"Those in the front row who say they look are so superficial. One of them is a prolific novel writer, and the other is a prolific voice actor. If they were together, we would have endless food to eat!"
"I totally agree. I support them being together. It would be best if they could cooperate to produce more food."
"That guy in front is a genius. I can't even imagine how happy I'd be if I did that."
"I just love this kind of love between two strong people. It's so touching to see them at the top."
"Are you sure it's a double strength?"
"Whisper, I think Zhaohe is stronger. Looking at the photos, her aura is super powerful."
"But Mr. Zhaohe's stories are all sweet and healing, so he must be a soft-hearted person. Our Huguang is also lively and cute, so he should be a healing couple."
"I support Mr. Zhaohe being strong. A cutie like Huguang should be at the bottom."
"I like the domineering version of Hu Guang. I vote for Hu Guang in the top."
These discussions seem increasingly off.
When did she get together with Shi Xuze? She herself didn't even know.
And those fans who say they'd be more productive together surely don't understand the role that publishing houses and studios play in a collaboration. Is it really all just a matter of the two of them agreeing?
As for those who are not serious, she can't bear to look at them.
They have such vivid imaginations that they should all be captured to be her companions.
Looking further down, there is something even more astonishing.
Someone took a photo of her getting out of Shi Xuze's car in the middle of the night and the two of them walking into the community together.
They were originally neighbors, but netizens were in the middle of a discussion and the photo was taken late at night, which was very imaginative, so this photo became irrefutable evidence in the eyes of netizens.
"Look what I found. It's so dark, and two people are taking a walk late at night. They must be living together, right? They must be living together!"
"Did they just get home from a date?"
"That shouldn't be the case. After all, he was driving the studio car. I guess it's because we were dealing with yesterday's incident together."
"I don't care. Just walking in together means we're living together."
The netizens’ theories were so ridiculous that Yao Yingmo went from being confused to being speechless and then to being amused. Finally, he decided not to read any further.
She opened her homepage, edited the text, and posted it.
"Zhaohe's Ink Shop V: Teacher Huguang is a lovely neighbor and a very reliable partner."
She thought that after a night of fermentation, the clarification effect would not be good, but she did not expect the effect to be so bad that no one on the entire Internet could believe her.
"It is well known that explanation is a cover-up."
"When everyone is pushing him down, he's the first to step forward and provide an alibi, completely unafraid of getting himself into trouble. If this isn't true love, then what is it?"
"Not only did she help clarify things, she even came to the studio. She must be worried. We all know that when a man feels bad for you, he's usually in love."
"I'm different from everyone else. I got into it at the comic convention. That day I realized there's a difference between Hu Guang's commercial smile and his genuine smile. The moment he turned around and saw Mr. Zhao He, his whole body lit up!"
"I understand, I understand. Usually, the co-hosts will appear during the stage. They will appear during the autograph session. This is definitely a spur of the moment decision by Mr. Zhaohe."
"I was standing next to him at the comic convention, and the way Mr. Zhaohe looked at my idol Hu Guang was so gentle."
"I thought their relationship was very sweet that day."
"Secretly, my friend works in a hospital, and on the night of the comic convention, Mr. Zhaohe also went to the hospital. I think he was there to meet the parents."
"To those who were at the hospital that day, +1. I'm a family member of a patient. I accidentally saw Mr. Zhaohe dragging a distraught Mr. Huguang. Judging from the direction they were walking, they seemed to be heading to the parking lot. I thought for a long time whether to speak up, but since someone has mentioned it, I'll say it too."
"It looks like a deal anyway. And judging by what my hospital buddy said, I'm definitely right to stand with Zhaohe on top."
Yao Yingmo quit Weibo.
After watching more, she was convinced by what these fans said.
To be honest, she couldn't see her own eyes, so she wasn't sure if she was really gentle when she looked at Shi Xuze.
Just like she didn't know why she decided to help yesterday and even got so involved.
She actually knew what the consequences might be, but she did it anyway.
Is this love?
Yao Yingmo doesn't think so.
Like her parents, they also knew the danger of returning to the fire scene to rescue people, but they still ran back to rescue Zhou Yu and grandma.
As a result, she lost two family members and gained two.
Maybe their family just has a spirit of sacrifice and dedication to help others.
She should feel the same way towards Shi Xuze.
Yao Yingmo convinced himself and ignored the mocking message from Li Yicheng.
She has been spending too much time dealing with things online recently, and her update speed has slowed down a lot. She needs to retreat for a few days to finish it.
During the days when Yao Yingmo was in seclusion, the recording of "Starry Sky" was carried out in an orderly manner. A trailer was also released during this period, successfully taking advantage of the recent surge in discussions and attracting a lot of traffic to the radio drama.
In addition to recording, Shi Xuze also takes time to visit patients in the hospital.
Uncle Mu is no longer in the most critical condition and is now recuperating in an ordinary single room.
When Shi Xuze went in to see him, he was leisurely skating on a skateboard.
Shi Xuze: "Didn't the doctor tell you to get some rest? Why are you playing on your tablet so early in the morning?"
Uncle Mu put down the tablet and said, "I can't sleep."
Shi Xuze just felt a little guilty when he heard Uncle Mu say, "After all, ten o'clock is not very early in the morning."
"So, what time did you start playing?"
Uncle Mu stopped talking.
"teacher!"
Uncle Mu put the tablet aside and skillfully changed the subject, "Why are you alone? Where's Zhao He?"
Shi Xuze: “?”
Why did Yao Yingmo come?
"Aren't you two dating? And I heard that Zhao He came with you that day."
Shi Xuze's pupils trembled, "Wait, who told you that?"
Uncle Mu's eyes wandered, "Just...someone passing by outside the ward."
Shi Xuze followed his gaze and immediately discovered the truth, "You're still checking Weibo! I'm going to complain to Sister Chang when I get home today."
"No, I'm just concerned about you and the studio's situation," Mu Shu said. "You've grown a lot, and you handled it very well this time."
Shi Xuze didn't feel the slightest bit of joy at being praised. He looked at Uncle Mu dimly, "You're only reading gossip, right?"
Uncle Mu spread his hands and said, "Just tell me, are you and Zhao He dating?"
Shi Xuze: “No.”
Uncle Mu looked disappointed.
"It happened suddenly that day, and she happened to be nearby. She was worried that we were too anxious to handle it, so she followed us."
Uncle Mu said, "What about you?"
"Do you like her?"
Shi Xuze did not answer.
"You like her." Uncle Mu said affirmatively.
Exposed by his own teacher, Shi Xuze could only admit, "Yes."
Uncle Mu saw that Shi Xuze only answered a short question before falling silent, so he adjusted his sitting posture and put on an appearance of listening attentively, "Come, the teacher is ready to listen to your troubles."
"Teacher, you're teasing me again!" Shi Xuze complained shyly, but after a long silence, he finally spoke, "Teacher Zhaohe... doesn't like me."
Uncle Mu raised his eyebrows, "Your confession was rejected?"
Shi Xuze: "I didn't confess."
"Then how do you know she doesn't like you?"
"You saw it too, she posted a Weibo post to clarify."
Shi Xuze thought he would get comfort from Uncle Mu, but when he looked up, Uncle Mu still had the same expression, but his shoulders were shaking slightly, as if he was having a hard time holding back his laughter.
Shi Xuze: "Teacher?"
Uncle Mu: "I saw it, and I think you're overthinking it. If you have any questions, why not ask me directly?"
"But……"
Uncle Mu shook his head. "You're usually so proactive, but why are you so afraid to even try when it comes to relationships? If I were like you, I wouldn't be able to marry your sister Chang, nor would I be able to start a studio with her, and you wouldn't exist."
Shi Xuze was shaken.
Uncle Mu encouraged him, "Even though feelings are your own business, I don't want to see you regret it in the future."
Shi Xuze lowered his eyes, "I... will give it a try."
Uncle Mu nodded and said, "I hope Zhao He will come with you next time you come to visit the patient."
Shi Xuze: "That's impossible. I will come to see you tomorrow."
Uncle Mu laughed.
