Desire! This Romance Is Overflowing with Ambiguous Atmosphere! So Sweet! - Chapter 8

Lin Yixian’s eyes widened like copper bells off-camera.

Jiang Ran, standing beside Yu Zheng, massaged his temples in exasperation, witnessing firsthand Yu Zheng’s utter madness over his “white moonlight.”

Luo Xuan: ???
Wen Shiwu: ?????
Audience: ???????????

Holy shit!!!

Is top-tier music god Yu Zheng actually a fan of Wen Shiwu’s dramas???

He’d even go so far as to lift her up and pin her against the wall just to get an autograph!!!

His proactive behavior caught on video was real!

This has nothing to do with Wen Shiwu!

He admitted it!!!

The livestream’s atmosphere turned eerie.

No one seemed to have expected that Yu Zheng’s appearance wouldn’t debunk Wen Shiwu but instead reveal an even more earth-shattering bombshell!

Even Lin Yixian pulled Wen Shiwu aside, whispering in a voice too low for the livestream to catch: “What’s going on? What kind of madness has possessed Yu Zheng to say such things to defend you?”

He has so many girlfriend-fans!

Is he throwing away his popularity?!

Does he not care about his image of pining for his “white moonlight” anymore?

Wen Shiwu looked utterly innocent as she met her gaze.

Blink.

She had no idea either.

But the most panicked person at the moment was Luo Xuan.

“Impossible!” she declared firmly. “You’re lying!”

She had witnessed the entire scene last night.

Although it wasn’t Wen Shiwu actively throwing herself at him, it certainly couldn’t have been Yu Zheng’s long-planned scheme either.

Doesn’t Yu Zheng have an unforgettable “white moonlight”?

Why would he step forward to protect someone else?

What makes Wen Shiwu so special!!!

Luo Xuan couldn’t help grinding her teeth in resentment: “Yu Zheng, just how much money did Wen Shiwu’s sugar daddy pay you? Is it worth ruining your reputation and even betraying your ‘white moonlight’ to tell such lies to shield her?”

Yu Zheng let out a light scoff, his expression condescending: “So, Ms. Luo, do you think I, Yu Zheng, am the kind of person who can be bought with money?”

Luo Xuan: “I-I didn’t mean…”

“Instead of accusing Teacher Wen of spreading rumors, why don’t you repeat the lies you just told in front of me, the person involved?”

The entire livestream erupted into an uproar.

Yu Zheng’s words undoubtedly debunked the rumors about Wen Shiwu. Not only did he fully side with her, but he also explicitly stated that Luo Xuan’s testimony during the livestream was entirely fabricated!

No pursuit, no forced kiss.

It was merely a mutual fan interaction between two admirers.

Suddenly, this feels oddly shippable!

“No…”

But Luo Xuan was still losing it: “It’s not like that! I don’t believe it! You’re all lying! You’ve teamed up to ruin me!”

“Wen Shiwu!” she shrieked her name.

Wen Shiwu: o(￣ヘ￣o＃)

“What?”” She propped her cheek on one hand, lifting her stunningly beautiful fairy-like lashes as she glanced up.

Luo Xuan stared at her through the camera like a venomous snake: “Do you dare swear in front of everyone here that you’re merely a pure career fan and appearance fan, with no girlfriend-fan fantasies or schemes toward Yu Shen?”

Wen Shiwu raised three fingers.

Too lazy to meet Luo Xuan’s gaze, she closed her eyes and nodded and shook her head dismissively:

“Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course not! What do you want me to swear on? Is vowing to turn into a bald little darling if I lie enough?”

Everyone: …Damn!

Bald!!!

That’s the cruelest curse for modern youth!

But Wen Shiwu didn’t notice.

While she had her eyes closed making the vow, an intense, burning gaze remained fixed on her little dimples.

Hearing her personally declare she had no desires on him.

Yu Zheng casually lowered his eyes, his well-defined hand slipping into his pocket, repeatedly fiddling with the multicolored bracelet he always carried, worn smooth from constant handling.

Luo Xuan then turned to Yu Zheng: “Then Yu Shen, you still claim to be a fan of her dramas, so much so that you’d even disregard your ‘white moonlight’ for Wen Shiwu, right?”

Yu Zheng was lost in thought.

His mind was preoccupied with Wen Shiwu having forgotten him entirely, so he didn’t quite catch Luo Xuan’s question and just casually replied, “Hmm.”

“Good then.” Luo Xuan said triumphantly.

She lifted her face toward the camera: “In that case, as an observer, I sincerely invite both of you to accept the challenge of ‘Rumor Lovers’ to test whether either of you lied to protect the other and slander me!”

“Holy shit…” Jiang Ran was stunned.

He never expected Luo Xuan to propose such a shameless idea and quickly elbowed Yu Zheng, who was spacing out beside him.

Yu Zheng looked up: “What is that thing?”

Wen Shiwu, who had never been involved in scandals before, also blinked in confusion and looked at her agent sitting nearby.

Lin Yixian gritted her teeth: “It’s an utterly shameless dating show specifically inviting celebrity couples rumored to be involved but who stubbornly deny it. They undergo intimate interactions under 24/7 livestream surveillance, testing the truth of their relationship from every angle.”

Jiang Ran added: “The program uses intimate dates, physical contact games, and extreme scenarios to provoke genuine feelings, instinctive reactions, and even directly measures heart rates.”

Lin Yixian: “In short, this show is different from ordinary dating shows. It’s entirely focused on celebrity scandals. It can either clear the names of those burdened by rumors or force actual couples in denial to admit their relationship.”

Wen Shiwu nodded in understanding.

The concept did sound pretty shameless.

But she was curious: “Then what possesses these couples to subject themselves to such tests on this show?”

“They’re voted in by fans through online polls, of course!” Luo Xuan said. “Participating at least gives them a chance to fight back, but refusing is tantamount to admitting the relationship.”

“In the first two seasons, three couples couldn’t escape the observers’ and audience’s scrutiny and were forced to admit their relationships. One pair who had dated but broken up also had to confess.”

“Do you dare, Wen Shiwu?”

Luo Xuan looked at her: “This show’s setup is powerful. It exposes true couples in denial and reveals those with unrequited delusions.”

“No matter how skilled the actors are, whether they’ve dated but split, are secretly married, or are passionately in love… they can’t escape the audience’s and observers’ eyes! Even the most deeply hidden crush will be completely exposed on this show!”

Yu Zheng’s fingers, toying with the multicolored bracelet, stilled.

He slowly narrowed his peach-blossom eyes and asked Jiang Ran in a low voice: “This show plays that hard?”

Jiang Ran looked at him with the expression of sending a brother to his doom, patting his shoulder very seriously as he nodded.

Yu Zheng hesitated.

But Wen Shiwu was full of confidence, sunny and bright.

“Why wouldn’t I dare?” she declared righteously. “My feelings for Yu Zheng are completely pure!”

Jiang Ran massaged his temples in frustration.

But his feelings for you aren’t pure, young lady…

Luo Xuan looked at Yu Zheng: “What about Yu Zheng?”

Yu Zheng’s fans in the livestream eagerly egged him on.

[Brother, agree to it!!!]
[I think it’s a good idea! This is a perfect chance to clarify the rumors and shut down that delusional fan Wen Shiwu’s face! So, her fans stop using the dimpled “white moonlight” story.]
[All these years, no one’s uncovered Wen Shiwu’s sugar daddy! Who exactly is her backer? They can even command Yu Zheng!]
[Wuwu, Brother must have been forced by capital to defend that delusional fan! But don’t worry now, capital’s influence never reaches ‘Rumor Lovers’!]
[Exactly! There’s no way Yu Zheng planned this. He’s someone who’s always pined for his “white moonlight. It must be Wen someone who’s scheming against him but refuses to admit it and shifts blame!]
[Believe in Yu Zheng, go for it Yu Zheng!]

But Yu Zheng was still hesitating.

Luo Xuan curled her lips: “What is Yu Zheng worried about? Are you afraid the test will reveal you don’t actually know Wen Shiwu well and aren’t her die-hard fan?”

Jiang Ran: “…” Hah.

He’s afraid people will discover he knows her too well, not just a die-hard fan but also secretly in love with her for ten years.

Luo Xuan offered a way out: “It’s fine if you’re worried. If Yu Zheng admits now that last night wasn’t your premeditated move but Wen Shiwu’s shameless clinging, and that defending her was due to capital pressure rather than willingness, then there’s no need to join the dating show.”

Jiang Ran: “…” Hah.

Yeah, right. If it wasn’t him scheming last night, then who was? He’s the biggest culprit!

Luo Xuan: “What exactly are Yu Zheng’s concerns?”

The pressure was now on Yu Zheng. The media on-site and the livestream audience were all watching him.

Only Wen Shiwu felt uneasy, her heart pounding.

She didn’t know why Yu Zheng kept helping her, nor why he stepped forward to speak up for her today…

She only felt that if she hadn’t been caught sneaking photos by security last night, this situation wouldn’t have arisen, and Yu Zheng wouldn’t have been dragged into this turmoil.

Wen Shiwu took a deep breath, deciding to take responsibility: “Teacher Yu, actually, you…”

“I have no concerns.”

But Yu Zheng suddenly interrupted her. He looked deeply at Wen Shiwu: “I’ll participate.”
