After Transmigrating, I Fell in Love with a Top-Tier Movie Queen - Chapter 107

The deep moonlight spilled across the land. Although many netizens had a habit of staying up late, most people were getting ready to sink into their dreams as the early morning hours arrived.

At this moment, no one expected Lin Xin to suddenly announce her relationship on this night of this very day.

It wasn’t her first time. Compared to that sudden announcement years ago and the shockwave of a mentor-student relationship, this time felt much more prepared. Fans even had a sense of “finally.”

Of course, when most celebrities announce major news, they try to choose a time during the day or around 7 or 8 p.m. This is when traffic is high and discussion is maximized—a foolproof timing.

Choosing to announce a relationship late at night, even during the early morning hours when most people are sleeping, is rare in the entire entertainment circle!

Admittedly, in the last two years, such public relationship announcements have been scarce in mainland entertainment; many only announce when they are already married.

It’s worth remembering that two years ago, when the number one celebrity in mainland entertainment announced his girlfriend, Weibo crashed for an entire day. The consequence was that 80% of his fans left, and the former top celebrity has since faded into obscurity.

This outcome terrified the entire industry.

In the following years, new waves of popular stars emerged, but the process from the previous top star’s announcement to his downfall kept the entire industry quiet for two years.

This balance was broken by Lin Xin.

When the entire entertainment circle discovered Lin Xin’s Weibo post, they couldn’t help but sigh with emotion, feeling that a person who values emotion so highly is always easily hurt.

After the Zheng Lanwen incident, Lin Xin chose not to hide her new relationship, but once again chose to go public.

—Grateful for the encounter, grateful to have you.

This was her most direct declaration of love for her partner, delivered to the public.

This reckless, yet courageous, straightforward expression of affection was something that could be mocked, yet its pure sincerity made people envious.

Naturally, besides the attention from the mainland entertainment industry, the fan circles exploded because of this news.

Although it was the early morning, contemporary netizens are masters of staying up late. Furthermore, many fans set up special notifications. As soon as Lin Xin’s Weibo was posted, many fans rushed to the scene.

This group included not only solo-fans, CP fans, and anti-fans, but even the fans of rivals Zheng Lanwen and Lin Wan.

The dong notification sound marked the start of a tug-of-war between the fan bases.

[She announced it?]

[Sigh, I had a feeling after the mermaid tail necklace. All I can say is congratulations!]

[Congratulations to Xin Bao. Wishing Xin Bao a long and happy life together!]

[I hope Xin Bao gets her wish this time!]

[I knew at the time of the mermaid tail necklace that she was starting to be controlled by love again.]

[Once bitten, twice shy, but I still won’t unfollow her.]

[I have the same thought as Xinxin Xiangshang (a fan ID). I just want Xin Bao to be happy.]

[A quiet declaration of love, finally rewarded. This time, I hope she treats you well.]

[As long as she’s not a jerk like Zheng Lanwen, all is well.]

Perhaps because the news had been continuously hinted at in the show beforehand, and the exposure of the mermaid tail necklace had already given it a 90% probability.

Therefore, when the announcement truly came, the fans felt a sense of it was just as we expected.

Coupled with the Zheng Lanwen incident, most of the remaining fans were die-hards who had weathered the storms and were not intimidated by such a simple announcement.

At the very least, it couldn’t be worse than Zheng Lanwen, could it? Although they didn’t have much confidence in Lin Xin’s choices, the fans still chose to send their blessings.

Compared to these resigned fans, the CP fans were much more excited.

[Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, I knew it! I knew it!]

[Finally, an announcement! I knew they would announce it right after the mermaid tail necklace!]

[Oh my god! I finally shipped a real couple!!!]

[Xin Bao, someone will protect you for life from now on. Trust Little Morning Star.]

[Xin Bao will definitely be happy!]

[Wishing our Xin Bao and Little Morning Star a lifetime of happiness.]

[Wuwuwu, it really is Chong Qi (重啓, Ye Linghua’s account name)! I believe the person who said Little Morning Star is a big boss now.]

[Is this the blessing our Xin Bao has? Xin Bao, you must be happy!]

[Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, I’m so excited!]

[I can’t believe it’s true, it’s true, it’s true!!! Chong Qi! It’s Chong Qi!!!]

Other casual followers also sent their blessings, while congratulating the screaming CP fans for getting what they wished for.

Of course, neither Zheng Lanwen’s fans nor Lin Wan’s fans were convinced. They felt that Lin Xin had ruined their idols, yet she was still dating.

So, they rushed into the comments and swore at her.

Lin Xin’s fans couldn’t stand it and retaliated. The announcement Weibo became a mix of blessings and insults.

As more and more people paid attention, and the discussion grew louder and louder, Weibo finally crashed at 2 a.m. Since the programmers were already asleep at home, they didn’t have time to fix it.

Thus, the discussion about Lin Xin’s relationship announcement was ultimately stifled in the cradle. It would have to slowly ferment, and a new round of discussion and arguments would naturally erupt the next day.

In the Cozy Cottage, Lin Xin and Ye Linghua were lying in bed, resting. Compared to the online chaos, the two people, relaxed and at ease, didn’t seem like the subjects of the frenzy.

Because the weather was getting hotter, the air conditioner was on. Ye Linghua and Lin Xin simply pushed their beds together so they could be closer when lying down.

When Weibo crashed, all the voices—blessings, doubts, questions, abuse, and jealousy—suddenly vanished.

Lin Xin breathed a sigh of relief. She suddenly realized that Ye Linghua might have calculated that this was the best time to announce. She turned her head to look at the person lying next to her and asked with a smile, “Were you doing that on purpose?”

Ye Linghua looked innocent: “Doing what on purpose?”

Lin Xin: “You guessed it would be this chaotic, and you deliberately announced it late at night when there are fewer people. And the programmers wouldn’t have time to rush back, plus it’s almost dawn, so they might not fix it. This way, everyone won’t be as emotional in the morning as they are right after the initial announcement.”

Ye Linghua turned on her side to face her. Seeing her little mouth chattering away, Ye Linghua finally chuckled, got up, and leaned over her, saying, “You have so much energy. How about we exchange our affection first?”

Lin Xin’s face flushed. She reached out and pushed the approaching Ye Linghua, whispering, “The camera is still on!”

Ye Linghua laughed heartily, leaning down. As she captured Lin Xin’s tempting red lips, she still managed to explain, “When this airs, it will be the last episode. And, from this angle, it can only capture my back.”

The end of her sentence was lost on their grinding lips. The tingling sensation made it impossible for Lin Xin to hear clearly. Her hands nervously gripped the collar of Ye Linghua’s shirt.

Suddenly, Lin Xin pushed Ye Linghua away and sat up. Ye Linghua was momentarily confused by the push.

Lin Xin quickly grabbed the phone by the pillow, glanced at it, and then froze, saying, “Oh! I forgot to tag you! What do I do?”

Ye Linghua: “…Is that important?” I was halfway through kissing you…

Lin Xin was bewildered by the question: “Isn’t it important?”

Ye Linghua could only sit up and say, “Everyone knows it’s me anyway.”

Although Meng Kelin had said they hadn’t explicitly stated it on the show, anyone who wasn’t foolish would know. They had gone this far, and Lin Xin hadn’t denied it on the show. What else was there to say?

Their intimate interactions during the ongoing broadcast had been a continuous hint. And with the mermaid tail necklace incident later on, even the solo fans felt it was nearly certain.
