Desire! This Romance Is Overflowing with Ambiguous Atmosphere! So Sweet! - Chapter 20

Among the most vocal critics was an account named “Cherry Little Rascal.”

She was the moderator of Yu Zheng’s super topic and a well-known “station sister” in the fandom, frequently attending Yu Zheng’s offline events. Her name had also appeared earlier in the quiz options.

Wen Shiwu opened the private message box.

Her eyes were met with a flood of emojis that seemed to come from someone not entirely in their right mind.

This was followed by screams reminiscent of a groundhog’s shriek.

Cherry Little Rascal: [Sis, sis!]

Cherry Little Rascal: [Did you see the hot search?]

Cherry Little Rascal: [Ahhh! It’s absolutely insane!]

Wen Shiwu was still on her way to get her makeup done. Seizing the moment while the staff wasn’t paying attention, she took the risk of checking her alternate account for a few minutes.

She had no idea what Cherry was so worked up about, but her intuition told her it had something to do with the dating show. “What’s so insane?”

As if finally finding a like-minded outlet, Cherry quickly replied: “The dating show! Don’t you know Yu Zheng’s dating show aired today? The chemistry between him and Wen Shiwu is off the charts!”

Wen Shiwu: ???

Cherry immediately sent over several screenshots from the dating show, along with clips of the steamy moments that were trending on the hot search.

Curious, Wen Shiwu clicked on them.

But the moment the first photo loaded, her palm felt as if it had been scorched by the phone. The overwhelmingly provocative atmosphere sent her adrenaline skyrocketing without end!

It was a shot hailed by netizens as Yu Zheng’s iconic “waist-grab.”

Having just emerged from the darkness, Yu Zheng had rushed toward her in swift strides, pulling her into his arms as she teetered on the edge of fear. Wen Shiwu, in a panic, had grabbed his collar, lifting her deer-like eyes, still glistening with fright, to look at him.

The vibe of redemption was practically dripping from the scene!

Wen Shiwu’s heart raced as she looked at it.

She truly hadn’t expected that the moment which had terrified her so much could be captured in such a way.

Oh no.

That was the only thought in her mind.

They’re definitely going to misunderstand this again!

So, Wen Shiwu timidly replied, [This… isn’t really a big deal, right? Yu Zheng was just being a gentleman and helping her up.]

Cherry Little Rascal: ???

Cherry Little Rascal: [A gentleman? Don’t we both know Yu Zheng? Him, a gentleman???]

If it were any other female celebrity, he’d probably have taken three steps back to give her plenty of space to fall properly. It’s not like he hasn’t done something like that before.

Cherry Little Rascal: [Don’t you think it’s sweet? Look at the details! Look at the veins bulging on Yu Zheng’s hand, the tension in his neck, and his expression! He was so tense when Wen Shiwu almost fell!]

Wen Shiwu: ???

[Where? I don’t see it.]

Unconvinced, Cherry sent over another photo of the two from their couple photoshoot: [Take a look at this one. The sexual tension is so strong, it’s practically indecent! The way they’re looking at each other is no different from having done it!]

Wen Shiwu: ???

[Wasn’t this just a photoshoot the director asked for? They’re both so good in front of the camera, acting it out isn’t that hard, right?]

Cherry Little Rascal: ???

Cherry, fully immersed in her fangirl frenzy, was baffled by her friend’s inability to grasp what she found so thrilling. She refused to give up.

Then she sent another video: [Take a look at this one! Wen Shiwu pulled Yu Zheng aside to whisper and scheme about keeping their distance on the variety show, but Yu Zheng not only disagreed, he even noticed the microphone clipped to Wen Shiwu’s collar and didn’t tell her! He just patiently played along! He’s totally a sly old fox plotting to lure our sweet Wen Baobao!!!]

Wen Shiwu: ??????

Wh-what microphone on her collar?!

Wen Shiwu frantically clicked on the video.

It turned out this wasn’t the original live footage from the dating show, but a highlight reel edited by an up. The video captured the entire process of her whispering and scheming with Yu Zheng about how they should interact, recording every single word she said with crystal clarity!

Wen Shiwu: o.O?

Help!!!

How did she not notice at the time that she was wearing a lapel microphone?!

Wen Shiwu slumped back in the car seat, clutching her phone.

The staff member quickly turned around: “Teacher Wen, are you feeling unwell? Are you carsick or…”

Wen Shiwu had allergies and had been frail since childhood, often needing medication. On set, she was always a focus of concern, and the slightest sign of trouble made the staff nervous.

“No, no,” she hurriedly waved her hand.

She was fine, really, sob sob…

At most, she was just a tiny, tiny bit mortified.

Seeing that she hadn’t replied for a long time, Ying Tao kept frantically messaging her, as if determined to drag her friend into fangirling with her.

Cherry Little Rascal: [You really don’t think so?]

Cherry Little Rascal: [It’s obviously so sweet!]

Cherry Little Rascal: [Our group has been talking about it all day, and everyone thinks it’s super, super sweet!]

The group she mentioned was Yu Zheng’s fan group.

In the group, the one closest to Wen Shiwu’s alternate account was this Cherry Little Rascal. Wen Shiwu had often gifted her new plush dolls for free whenever she released them.

She knew Ying Tao had a super outgoing personality.

She wouldn’t give up until she got a reply.

So, Wen Shiwu sat up with her phone: [I think they just have a normal relationship, at most, Yu Zheng is just being nice to a fan! But the key point is, as Yu Zheng’s fan, how can you ship him with a female celebrity?!!]

Ying Tao was baffled: [I’m not a girlfriend fan… Besides, I’m a double fan! I really like Wen Shiwu! Double fans are ecstatic, you know? I think she’s the only one in the entire entertainment industry who’s a perfect match for Yu Zheng!]

Wen Shiwu: “…”

She fell silent, unsure how to respond.

Then Ying Tao sent another message: “I get it now.”

Wen Shiwu felt utterly defeated: “What do you get?”

Ying Tao: “You dislike shipping Wen Shiwu and Yu Zheng so much, are you actually an anti-fan of Wen Shiwu?”

Wen Shiwu herself: “…”

Forget it, the world might as well end.

Wen Shiwu really couldn’t keep chatting with Ying Tao. After logging out of her alternate account and switching back to WeChat, the situation was similar.

Many industry friends had messaged to ask if she and Yu Zheng were dating. Those closer to her even joked that they’d already prepared wedding gifts.

Lin Yixian: [Wow, you’ve got some skills, getting Yu Zheng’s girlfriend fans to call you ‘wifey’.]

Wen Shiye: [Tsk, a man’s intuition tells me that bastard Yu Zheng has some not-so-innocent intentions toward my sister.]

Wen Shengyi sent another video.

He placed Wen Shiwu and Yu Zheng’s plush dolls together and made them “mwah” at each other.

Her mom, Ye Sangning, followed up with a matching picture,

Ye Sangning: [This deadly beautiful romance.jpg]

Wen Shiwu: “…”

What in the world is all this?

All of you, just perish already!!!
