Going from "Fanservice" to Reality with My Goddess - Chapter 29
The next morning, Yu Nianzhe arrived early at the juice bar.
The Qingyang Juice Bar she had chosen was located in a fairly secluded area and had a nice environment, making it perfect for sitting down with friends or handling work matters.
Stepping into the juice bar, Yu Nianzhe went straight to the second floor. The second floor had private booths. Since she and Shen Yan were public figures after all, sitting on the first floor would likely draw a crowd.
As soon as Yu Nianzhe took her seat, a waitress quickly walked in to ask what she would like to drink.
When the waitress entered the room, Yu Nianzhe had just taken off her hat and face mask. The young lady in the uniform was just about to speak when she froze on the spot in the very next second.
She blinked hard, staring intently at the person in front of her. Once she was certain her eyes weren’t playing tricks on her and that she hadn’t mistaken the person, she instantly let out a sharp cry of surprise: “Yu—”
Yu Nianzhe was startled. Realizing things were going awry, she quickly made a “shh” gesture at her, signaling her not to alert others.
The young lady just barely managed to choke back her voice, reaching out to cover her own mouth. She nodded obediently to indicate she wouldn’t shout.
Only then did Yu Nianzhe feel relieved.
The young lady’s face was flushed with excitement, and a smile she couldn’t suppress hung on the corners of her lips. The surprise had come too suddenly; at this moment, she felt incredibly fortunate that she had come to work part-time at this juice bar. Her eyes remained glued to Yu Nianzhe without blinking, her voice bursting with joy: “Yuyu! I’m your fan, can you give me an autograph?”
Yu Nianzhe immediately agreed. As long as she didn’t make a scene, anything was easy to negotiate.
The young lady nodded repeatedly, promising her that she would absolutely not tell anyone else she was here, and then walked out completely satisfied with the autograph.
After stepping out, she suddenly felt as though she had forgotten something, standing in place as she fell into thought.
A minute later.
The young lady appeared before Yu Nianzhe once again, an embarrassed expression on her face. “I’m so sorry, Yuyu. What would you like to drink?”
Yu Nianzhe looked up and smiled. “It’s alright. I still have a friend coming over; let’s order together once she arrives.”
Being bombarded at such close range by a 360-degree flawless, beautiful face, the young lady was completely dazed. She could only nod blankly and turn around to leave once more.
It wasn’t until she reached the top of the stairs that she finally reacted. In an instant, she switched from being completely dazed to walking as if on wings, rushing downstairs with a face full of excitement.
Oh my god! Yuyu is way too good-looking! She even smiled at me! I can brag about this for a whole year!
The promise she had just made about not making a scene and not talking recklessly was tossed to the back of her mind in the blink of an eye.
Fifteen minutes later, this waitress appeared in the booth once again, followed by several of her good sisters.
Only this time, what they had to face besides Yu Nianzhe was an additional person: Shen Yan.
The young lady who had come first felt that the scene before her eyes was somewhat surreal.
Today was destined to be recorded in history. Not only did she see Yu Nianzhe, but she also saw Shen Yan.
Although being able to harvest autographs from two people at once was a good thing, when it came to actually opening her mouth to ask Movie Queen Shen for an autograph, she was still a bit chicken.
Little Yu, you didn’t say that your friend’s name was Shen Yan!
In reality, the legendary Shen Yan actually had a very good personality; she was professional and amiable, and no one had ever heard of her putting on the airs of a big shot. However, with such a massive figure present, the few people who had originally wanted to tag along for an autograph felt a bit restrained, and for a moment, no one spoke up first.
Particularly seeing the two people sitting opposite each other chatting very happily, it made her feel that she and the people following behind her were completely superfluous, and she was even more at a loss for how to open her mouth.
The atmosphere between the two sitting at the table was incredibly harmonious, contrasting so much that it made those of them standing to the side look like a bunch of bright, blinking, giant lightbulbs or rather, like maliciously intentioned people who had deliberately run in to ruin their two-person world.
Seeing the several people who had entered together, Yu Nianzhe felt extremely helpless inside.
Didn’t you promise not to make a scene?
As it turned out, not only did she make a scene, but she also brought people along.
Not only did she bring people along, but they were also standing to the side as quiet as mice, looking exactly as if they had deliberately run over to spectate her and Shen Yan’s conversation.
Yu Nianzhe completely failed to catch the turbulent waves flipping through the minds of the few people before her. Seeing that there was still no movement, she had no choice but to speak up first: “Shall we take a look at the drink menu first?”
Only then did the waitress snap back to her senses, immediately presenting the menu before the two of them.
Once the two had placed their orders, the young lady whose heart was currently feeling super chicken—only wanted to turn around and leave. But as soon as she turned her head, she saw her group of sisters behind her who didn’t dare to speak but were also unwilling to leave, as well as the expectant looks in their eyes.
She took a deep breath. She was the one who brought everyone here; if they couldn’t get an autograph, it would be too much of a loss. She turned around once more, walking back in front of the two with a smile on her face. “Teacher Shen, Teacher Yu, the few of us are all your fans. Could you give us an autograph?”
Just as Shen Yan was about to speak, she thought about it and closed her mouth again, merely looking at Yu Nianzhe opposite her with a smile, staying silent.
There was a moment of silence in the room.
The young lady who came to ask for an autograph felt a bit panicked inside.
What’s going on? She won’t just ignore me, right? That would be so awkward.
Hearing the title “Teacher Yu,” Yu Nianzhe wanted to laugh a bit. Just a moment ago, she had been calling her “Yuyu, Yuyu” very naturally, so how did it suddenly turn into “Teacher Yu” now?
She followed the gazes of the few people and found that their eyes were shifting back and forth between herself and Shen Yan. When looking at her, their faces were full of anticipation, but when looking at Shen Yan, their eyes would wander, as if they didn’t dare to look too much.
Yu Nianzhe understood clearly in her heart.
Could this be considered the inherent majesty that came with Movie Queen Shen?
In order to ease the slightly strange atmosphere at the moment, Yu Nianzhe readily agreed, “No problem at all.” As she spoke, she took the notebook handed over by the other party, then lifted her head to look at Shen Yan opposite her, smiling, “Teacher Shen?”
Shen Yan responded, “Hmm?”
Yu Nianzhe smiled, shaking the notebook she held in her hand. “Help sign an autograph for these young ladies?”
“Alright, whatever you say,” Shen Yan said as she took the notebook handed over and signed her name with a swish, swish, swish.
Yu Nianzhe: …
Why do these words sound so easy to make people misunderstand?
The spectating crowd: !
While maintaining a calm exterior, their minds had already filled in a complete plot line: Shen Yan and Yu Nianzhe agreed to meet in a secluded juice bar. During this time, they talked very happily and acted intimately. Shen Yan even obeys Yu Nianzhe’s every word; the two are suspected to have already confirmed a relationship and are secretly out on a date this time…
Shen Yan was very amiable, refusing no notebook that was handed over, signing them one by one.
The few people were extremely excited. After thanking them with immense gratitude, they finally left together.
After a short while, the waitress came back to deliver their drinks, closed the door, and left.
Only the two of them were finally left in the room.
It was time to talk about serious business.
Yu Nianzhe still felt a bit nervous inside, not knowing how Shen Yan would respond once she said these words to her in a moment.
What if she rejected her? What should she do then?
However, Shen Yan completely failed to sense the internal conflict inside Yu Nianzhe. She merely used her straw to gently stir the juice in her glass, asking with a smile, “What did you want to see me about?”
Yu Nianzhe swallowed her saliva, reorganizing the explanation she had prepared long ago in her head, planning to communicate properly with Shen Yan to move her.
Then she would have a legitimate reason to develop a further relationship with Shen Yan.
“Teacher Shen, it’s like this.” Yu Nianzhe held the sides of her glass loosely with both hands, yet she hadn’t taken a single sip. She gently licked her lips. “How do you think the effect of the first episode of Let’s Travel Together was?”
Shen Yan recalled for a moment and found that her mind was a complete blank.
She had only paid attention to how it felt to record the variety show together with Yu Nianzhe; she hadn’t paid any attention at all to the reception after the variety show aired. Thus, she spoke honestly, “Actually, I didn’t pay much attention.”
Yu Nianzhe: …
She thought Shen Yan would reply with something along the lines of “very good” or “pretty good,” but she hadn’t expected the other party to directly drop a “didn’t pay attention.”
It was a variety show she recorded herself after all, how could she be so casual about it!
But she couldn’t go and question Shen Yan, so she could only ask and answer herself, “According to the statistical data and audience feedback, the effect of the first episode was extremely good, far exceeding other variety shows during the same period.”
Shen Yan nodded, wanting to see what else Yu Nianzhe wanted to say.
Yu Nianzhe added, “Furthermore, in the first episode of the show, the popularity of the two of us was also very high.”
Shen Yan smiled. “Is that so? Then that’s really not bad.”
Yu Nianzhe pushed the topic a step further: “It’s not just that our individual popularity is high, but also because the two of us coordinate with tacit understanding, so there are many people,” Yu Nianzhe felt a bit embarrassed speaking to this point, “there are many people shipping our CP.”
Hearing these words, Shen Yan raised her eyebrows, the corners of her lips curling into a delighted arc. “Shipping our CP?”
Yu Nianzhe suddenly felt a bit regretful, feeling that her coming this time was a mistake.
Discussing people shipping their CP right to Shen Yan’s face…
It was truly so embarrassing.
Yu Nianzhe worked hard to brainwash herself; she was doing this for work, for the popularity of the two of them, there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
Yu Nianzhe calmed her emotions and bit the bullet to continue speaking, “It’s pretty much similar to that thing Song Xin asked me to sign before. Teacher Shen, you can go to the Weibo Super Topic to take a look.”
Shen Yan nodded seriously. Weibo Super Topic; I need to study it carefully when I get back.
Yu Nianzhe continued, “So you see, Teacher Shen, we still have at least six or seven episodes of this variety show to record. I feel that since we’ve participated in this variety show, we should perform well. After all, no one would dislike having high popularity, right?”
Shen Yan nodded, saying in all seriousness, “You’re right.”
Yu Nianzhe finally saw a glimmer of hope. “Therefore, we should strengthen our cooperation even more in the subsequent episodes to achieve a win-win situation. In common terms, that is, doing business to hype up our CP.”
Shen Yan hadn’t expected that Yu Nianzhe had called her out just to say this.
Seeing the other party’s solemn expression and business-is-business attitude, she had thought it was some major matter regarding work.
“So you were talking about this,” Shen Yan lowered her head to take a sip of her juice, then lifted her head to look directly into Yu Nianzhe’s eyes. She winked at the other party, appearing as though she were just joking, yet also appearing exceptionally serious, “Whatever you say.”
