I Stole the Male Lead's White Moonlight [Transmigration] - Chapter 53.2

[I’ve decided from today on, I’m Yaya’s die-hard fan. I want to hear Yaya praise her die-hard fans.]

[Since Yaya praised Jiang Huai, I’ve decided to stan you!]

[When watching “Dreams of the Square Garden,” I didn’t think Yaya stood out much, especially with Professor Que as a comparison. But now! This straightforward and adorable Yaya has completely won me over! Thank goodness Yaya joined “Facing South Mountain,” or I would’ve missed out on such a treasure!]

Ling Xiaoxiao picked out a few of the most representative compliments and sent them to Zhu Xinya.

Ling Xiaoxiao: Young lady! You’ve gone viral!!!

Zhu Xinya: [Keep it low-key]

Ling Xiaoxiao: Young lady, you’re too outstanding. As your agent, I can’t possibly keep it low-key.

Ling Xiaoxiao: Young lady, can you do me a favor? [Humble]

Zhu Xinya: Go ahead~

Ling Xiaoxiao: Young lady, can you tease me just once?

Zhu Xinya: Ling Xiaoxiao, you have no self-awareness! If you want me to tease you, at least give me something to work with!

Ling Xiaoxiao: !!!!! So this is the joy of being teased. Young lady, please feel free to tease me whenever you’re bored!

Zhu Xinya: [Hahaha]

“Dreams of the Square Garden” brought Zhu Xinya a modest boost in popularity, with her fan count rising to two million within a week, while Que Hanfu’s followers surged to twenty million.

After “Seeing the Southern Mountain” aired, Zhu Xinya’s signature sassy retorts began dominating the hot search charts. Netizens started imitating her sharp, teasing tone to compliment others, and even those who didn’t typically watch variety shows became familiar with Zhu Xinya’s name.

Ling Xiaoxiao declared that Zhu Xinya had truly made it big evidenced by her skyrocketing follower count and the overwhelming response to a simple selfie she posted.

The photo was straightforward just a picture of her looking stunning, without even a caption yet it garnered one million reposts, hundreds of thousands of comments, and three million likes.

Zhu Xinya herself was taken aback.

Ling Xiaoxiao was so moved she nearly cried. During a phone call with Zhu Xinya, her voice choked with emotion as she said, “Miss, before, I had to beg left and right to find you decent scripts. But now that you’re famous, people are coming to me with scripts, asking me to pick and choose. Miss, please keep this momentum going, it feels absolutely amazing, wuwu.”

“Scripts are already coming in, and I’ve only been popular for a day?” Zhu Xinya asked in surprise.

“Of course! They have a keen eye. They can tell you’re going to stay popular for a long time. If they don’t send scripts now to ride your wave, someone else will snatch the opportunity. Ya Ya, you can’t underestimate yourself now you’re the brightest star in the entertainment industry!”

The first episode of “Seeing the Southern Mountain” was divided into four parts, airing every Saturday and Sunday. The Saturday episode ended with the cast preparing to welcome the first guest to the Southern Mountain cabin, the camera blurring to reveal only a tall, ethereal silhouette.

At 8 p.m. on Sunday, the second episode of “Seeing the Southern Mountain” premiered amid great anticipation.

After dinner, Zhu Xinya and Que Hanfu went for a stroll and returned home to watch the show together.

Nestled in Que Hanfu’s arms, Zhu Xinya happily munched on cherry tomatoes fed to her by Que Hanfu, feeling utterly content.

“It’s starting!” Zhu Xinya’s eyes lit up.

The episode began with a recap of the previous installment, followed by a brief commercial break. Then, picking up where it left off, the narrator piqued viewers’ curiosity about the guest as the camera panned upward, finally revealing Que Hanfu’s face.

Not only were the other guests on the show astonished, but the audience was even more stunned.

After Que Hanfu’s segment aired, Zhu Xinya opened Weibo and found that the hashtag #SeeingTheSouthernMountainQueHanfu# had already climbed to the top of the hot search list.

[Ah Wei is dead! What kind of heavenly beauty is this?!]

[Wait, am I the only one who noticed something off? “Dreams of the Square Garden” featured both Zhu Xinya and Professor Que. Zhu Xinya is a regular on “Seeing the Southern Mountain,” and the first guest invited is Professor Que. Could there be something between these two?!!]

[You’re not alone. I also think Ya Ya and Professor Que seem unusually close. Hehehe, have you ever heard of a flower called lily?]

[Lily? It’s a beautiful flower. I have some in my living room right now. What’s the issue? Why bring it up suddenly?]

[Lily also symbolizes lesbian love. I’ll leave it at that you can figure out the rest.]

[Ahhhh! It’s like a whole new world has opened up! I actually think these two ladies are totally shippable!]

[Same here! I’m even getting a little obsessed!]

[I hereby declare that from today on, I am the first die-hard fan of the Yafu CP!]

[Count me in! Sob sob!]

Zhu Xinya registered a side account on Weibo, naming it “Professor Que’s Little Slacker,” and dove headfirst into the Yafu CP fandom, becoming one of its core members.

“Sis, I’ve hit nine million followers!” Zhu Xinya followed herself with her side account and discovered that her follower count, which had been just over seven million in the morning, had skyrocketed to over nine million.

Que Hanfu happened to glance down and see the Weibo post her side account had just published.

Professor Que’s Little Slacker: Raising the Yafu banner high! I’ve created the “Yafu Everlasting Harmony” Group 1. Sisters, come join the group and let’s indulge in the sweetness together.

“What does ‘Yafu’ mean?” Que Hanfu rarely browsed Weibo and knew nothing about fandom culture.

Zhu Xinya wasn’t the least bit embarrassed about being caught by Que Hanfu and explained, “Yafu stands for Zhu Xinya and Que Hanfu. I’m now the head of our CP fandom, leading the masses to indulge in our sweet moments~”

“Quite interesting,” Que Hanfu remarked.

She stopped watching TV, took out her phone, registered a side account named “Yaya’s Little Scholar,” followed both of Zhu Xinya’s accounts, and joined the “Yafu Everlasting Harmony” Group 1 that Zhu Xinya had created.

After joining the group, Que Hanfu found that there were already dozens of members. When they saw her Weibo username, they chuckled warmly and teased her, saying she and the group admin were a pair of little lilies.

Yaya’s Little Scholar: Yes, we are a pair of little lilies. Thank you, everyone.

Everyone was stunned. They had just been joking, but it turned out to be true.

Zhu Xinya was so engrossed in her CP indulgence that she hadn’t noticed Que Hanfu’s activity. By the time she clicked into the “Yafu Everlasting Harmony” Group 1 and received a flood of blessings from everyone, she was completely bewildered.

Professor Que’s Little Slacker: What pair?

Yaya’s Little Scholar: You and I are a pair.

Zhu Xinya looked up at Que Hanfu. “Sis, is that you in the group?”

Que Hanfu nodded. “It’s quite interesting. I went to take a look.”

Professor Que’s Little Slacker: Hugs, darling. I never expected you to sneak into the group without telling me. Sob sob sob!

Yaya’s Little Scholar: Be good.

Everyone: Ah Wei is dead! Ah Wei is dying of envy!

Little did they know at the time that they were indulging in a real-life couple.

After one episode of the show aired, the number of Yafu CP fans surged, and Zhu Xinya opened Group 2 and Group 3.

“Managing my own CP fandom groups. I’m probably the first to do that.”

“As long as you enjoy it.”

Zhu Xinya’s phone rang. She picked it up and saw it was Ling Xiaoxiao calling. “Xiaoxiao is probably calling to congratulate me.”

Zhu Xinya answered the call and put it on speaker so Que Hanfu could hear their conversation.

“Miss!”

Ling Xiaoxiao’s voice was urgent and tinged with anger, completely different from what Zhu Xinya had imagined.

“Xiaoxiao, what’s wrong? Did something happen?” Zhu Xinya asked.

Ling Xiaoxiao replied, “The ‘Asking the General’ production team is shameless! They just called me and said they could directly cast you as the seventh female lead without an audition. Screw them! They’re just trying to ride on your current popularity. Who do they think they are? I turned them down immediately. You’re on a hot streak right now you could even land a leading role in a major production. Who would care about their measly seventh female lead?”

“But right now, I’m worried that Ding Yuqing, the investor of ‘Asking the General,’ might set obstacles for you. He’s notoriously petty-minded but has strong connections in the entertainment industry, with many big stars and directors as acquaintances.”

Zhu Xinya turned to Que Hanfu, mouthing silently, “Sister, what should we do?”

A cold glint flashed in Que Hanfu’s aloof eyes. “Ding Yuqing has his own troubles to deal with. He won’t have time to bother you.”

Ling Xiaoxiao, startled by the sudden sound of another voice, nearly dropped her phone. “Yaya, is someone else with you?”

Zhu Xinya replied, “Yes, it’s someone you know Professor Que Hanfu.”

“Your CP! I mean, the Professor Que Hanfu who filmed ‘Fangting’s Forgotten Dream’ with you is there with you?!”

In her surprise, Ling Xiaoxiao almost let it slip. Secretly, she was a fan of the “Yafu” CP pairing but, afraid that Zhu Xinya might dislike others shipping them, she had quietly registered a secondary Weibo account and was now managing the third group of “Yafu, Together Forever.”
