Chapter 18

On the way to the Meituan contact point.

"Brother Yang! We're trending on Weibo!"

Zhang Yang had only just dozed off in the van when he was startled awake by Bai Lu beside him.

"You, a peerless beauty, a celestial maiden descended to earth—what's so surprising about trending?"

Zhang Yang mumbled, wanting to shift into a more comfortable position to nap a bit longer.

It was an old habit; he was picky about his bed and hadn't slept well!

"Brother Yang! This trending topic is different; you're trending for several things in a row!"

Bai Lu still didn't let Zhang Yang off, insisting on dragging him up to work.

This is truly the cycle of karma; heaven spares no one!

He never expected his retribution to come so quickly.

So this is what it feels like to be forced to work!

"Let me see then, am I really that amazing, brother?"

Zhang Yang took Bai Lu's phone.

Good grief!

Trending #1: "Yang-Lu CP" Zhang Yang and Bai Lu!

Trending #3: "Three Lives Lucky" Wu Lei and Zhou Zhou Yutong!

Trending #4: "Love Like Fire"

Trending #10: Zhang Yang's Golden Quotes!

……………

Of the top ten trending topics, "Let's Fall in Love" occupied nearly half; this show had truly exploded!

As for being able to trend three times in a row, Zhang Yang was a bit surprised, but not overly shocked!

After all, brother is a cheater!

A long while passed.

Bai Lu noticed Zhang Yang had no reaction, but instead had an "auntie smile" on his face.

"Brother Yang, what are you doing?"

"I'm shipping a CP!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Lu felt a sudden, small surge of joy in her heart.

"Is our CP chemistry that strong?"

Her tone softened involuntarily!

"Ah! What are you talking about?"

"Of course I'm shipping 'Three Lives Lucky'—shipping our CP would just break your teeth!"

Zhang Yang put down the phone and looked at Bai Lu strangely.

This was like a bucket of cold water poured directly over Bai Lu's head, chilling her to the core.

"Let me tell you, ever since I watched their show 'Love is Not Just That,' I felt that Zhou Zhou Yutong wasn't acting at all; she was genuinely happy!"

"I suggest we investigate them; there must be something going on, otherwise it wouldn't look so natural!"

"I suspect they came to participate in 'Let's Fall in Love' just to date openly!"

"I think they should change the show's name to 'Our Married Life'! That would be reasonable; it's just too sickeningly sweet!"

……………

By now, Zhang Yang was completely caught up in shipping the CP, failing to notice Bai Lu's increasingly cold, pretty face.

At the same time, the audience in the livestream also started shipping along with Zhang Yang!

"Hahaha, Brother Yang is still the best! On the front lines of gossip!"

"Wu Lei and Zhou Zhou Yutong are really sickeningly sweet; their interactions are so natural, just like a newlywed couple!"

"Brother Yang summarized it well; Zhou Zhou Yutong's happiness is real, it doesn't look like acting!"

"Really, we should investigate; where there's a crime, there's always a trail left behind!"

"That's too much! They're just dating, how is that a crime!"

"Secret marriages and secret romances are too common in the entertainment industry, but I really hope to eat the wedding candy of 'Three Lives Lucky'!"

"Wuhu! Brother Yang leading the charge in shipping!"

"Brother Yang, stop shipping! Stop shipping! Lulu is angry!"

"It's over, it's over! Brother Yang seems to have lost his head!"

"I want to follow the internet to warn Brother Yang—his own girlfriend is angry, and he's still shipping someone else's CP!"

"Tsk tsk, sure enough! No matter how excellent a man is, he will fall into a woman's hands!"

……………………

The audience in the livestream noticed Bai Lu's abnormality, but only Zhang Yang was still happily shipping other people's CP!

"Eh, Lulu, what's wrong? Your complexion doesn't look too good!"

Just when everyone thought Zhang Yang had finally realized the problem.

Zhang Yang's next sentence made everyone break their defenses!

"Lulu, is it your time of the month? Why don't you rest well today, I'll do your share too!"

Zhang Yang patted his chest, looking like a "leave it to brother" type.

"Zhang Yang! You're the one on your period! I'm ignoring you, I don't want to talk to you from now on! Hmph!"

Bai Lu was truly blown up by this damn straight man!

He still hadn't realized the problem and even asked if she was on her period.

This guy is completely hopeless!

Just hurry up! Let it all be destroyed!

Zhang Yang suddenly couldn't quite figure it out.

What happened? She was fine just a moment ago, why the sudden change in face?

A woman's face is truly like the weather, ever-changing.

A cold war is so boring!

"Lulu, shall I tell you a story?"

Bai Lu gave no response, just turned her head to the side, looking out the window without a word.

Zhang Yang spoke to himself: "There was a little duck in line, wanting to align with the duck in front, but it couldn't get it right, so it muttered: 'Can't align, duck! Can't align, duck!'"

But Bai Lu still had no reaction, continuing to look out the window.

"There was an idiot who went to get a haircut, sat for a long time, and the barber never cut his hair. The idiot said: 'Cut me, cut me!'"

"Hey, hey... I've coaxed you like this, I hope you can give me some face, okay!"

Bai Lu finally couldn't help but turn her head over, rolled her eyes at Zhang Yang, and said.

"Hmph! Idiot, Zhang Yang, you're a big idiot! Unless you tell me a story, I won't forgive you!"

For a joke-teller like Zhang Yang, that couldn't be easier!

"Once upon a time there was a horse that no one could ride, only you could ride it. Do you know why?"

Bai Lu thought for a moment and asked curiously, "Why?"

"Because Peppa Pig!"

Bai Lu reacted immediately, laughing and crying, "You're the pig, is that how you coax people?"

"Then let me tell another one: a tortoise and a hare race, a pig is the referee, who do you think will win?"

This time Bai Lu thought for a moment before speaking.

"The tortoise wins, right!"

"Right! Exactly, you guessed it!"

Zhang Yang clapped to praise her.

"Ah, what?"

Bai Lu looked at Zhang Yang in confusion; she had just guessed randomly.

"Because you are the referee, whoever you say wins, wins!"
