Dating the Heartthrob Superstar-Chapter 20: Got into the Wrong Bed

Chapter 20: Went to the Wrong Bed

Due to Jin Feiyun’s small account incident, Meng Chao was thrust into the spotlight, and now every move he makes is sure to be magnified by the public.

Meng Chao posting on Weibo at this time could only have two purposes: one, to admit to a relationship with Jin Feiyun; or two, to clarify rumors of a relationship with her.

Meng Chao’s Studio had previously posted a highly satirical image; Meng Chao certainly couldn’t contradict his studio, so his Weibo post at this critical moment had to be a clarification.

Sure enough, someone compared the picture Meng Chao posted to the one Jin Feiyun’s small account posted and found that the background was the same. Plus, given that Meng Chao is currently recording "We Are Together," the facts became clear.

Jin Feiyun should be participating as a guest on "We Are Together," but she seized this opportunity to latch onto Meng and create hype.

The ambiguous, public Weibo posts from Jin Feiyun’s small account were identified as having been released from her side to stir up hype, deliberately guiding public opinion to cause misunderstandings among the masses.

Otherwise, why wasn’t this exposed earlier or later but right at this moment?

Initially, the public didn’t really believe the photo posted by Jin Feiyun’s small account. Now that Meng has personally come out to debunk the rumors, many who had chosen to remain silent have activated their sarcasm skills after seeing the irrefutable evidence.

Jin Feiyun, who was already being mocked by many, instantly became a target of ridicule across the entire internet.

Even more ridiculously, some of Jin Feiyun’s brain-dead fans left comments saying Meng was leeching off her popularity because Jin Feiyun is a traffic starlet with tens of millions of Weibo followers.

This statement was immediately stomped on by Meng Chao’s fans, who ridiculed these fans fiercely.

Jin Feiyun’s team, noticing that the tide was turning against them, hurriedly issued a statement to clarify, but it was too late, and they were mocked on trending topics for a long time.

Of course, while attacking Jin Feiyun, Meng Chao’s fans didn’t forget to focus on the content of Meng Chao’s Weibo post.

Meng Chao is the kind of person who rarely posts on Weibo. Given his status, he neither needs Weibo for business nor sees a need to help colleagues advertise. Therefore, his Weibo posting frequency is enigmatic; sometimes months could pass without a single post, or even a year with just one.

This month, however, he unexpectedly posted twice, which had fans celebrating like it was New Year’s, wishing each other good fortune.

[Hahaha, this month is indeed a New Year’s celebration, as my Daddy Meng has posted twice on Weibo.]

[Thank you, Lin Yingdi, because of you, my darling brother is so committed to his work right now.]

[Did anyone notice the background wall in the picture? It’s so, so cozy. Daddy Meng said Lin Yingdi painted it; I never expected Lin Yingdi to have this talent.]

[Lin Yingdi graduated in interior design, for your information. He even graduated from ZM, an outstanding student in fine arts.]

At this point, the comment section veered off topic, with everyone discussing Lin Qin, saying that Lin Qin joined a film right after graduating from university, which earned him the Best Newcomer Award domestically, and his second film won him the Actor award at an International A-Class Film Festival and so on.

The fans concluded with—

[An interior designer who can’t draw is not a good actor.]

Thus, Lin Qin, thanks to his artistic skills, gained a lot of new fans.

Naturally, among the comments were a few "cult followers," quietly shipping their CP.

[Ahhhhh, there’s sweetness, there’s sweetness. Meng is so boyfriend-like, and Lin Qin is adorably reliant like a little bird.]

[Stir-fried green vegetables under the blue sky, let the sweetness come even stronger!!!!]

[There’s my little darling again, Meng is so doting ahhhh. I’m daily envious of Lin Qin.]

...

In the current scenario, the number of people shipping them may be in the minority, but after "We Are Together" airs, this group will grow, claiming half the fan base of Meng Chao and Lin Qin. This real-life CP’s quirky name is both laughable and lovable.

Of course, that’s for later.

After posting on Weibo, Meng Chao handed over his phone again; as for what might happen next, Meng Chao wasn’t particularly curious.

Lin Qin didn’t have his phone the whole time, so he naturally didn’t know what was happening online. When he saw the director calling Meng Chao over, he thought something major had happened. When Meng Chao returned, he looked at him with concern.

Meng Chao shook his head at him, "It’s all fine."

Only then did Lin Qin relax.

Zhang Yue’s phone wasn’t confiscated; when his agent texted him to be careful of Jin Feiyun, Zhang Yue was more puzzled about what had happened. After opening Weibo and watching the drama unfold for over ten minutes, he understood the whole story, and decisively kept his distance from Jin Feiyun in his mind.

Zhang Yue was very clear about his position; he was on the path of an actor and was not enchanted by the hype from traffic, so his guard against Jin Feiyun increased. Although he knew Jin Feiyun probably didn’t think highly of his status and might think associating with him was doing charity work.

Of course, he couldn’t change what others thought of him, but as long as he stayed true to himself, that was enough.

During the subsequent recording, Jin Feiyun acted as if nothing had happened, chatting and laughing when appropriate, behaving very naturally.

But observant people could see that although the online hype had made Jin Feiyun a target of public ridicule, during the continued recording, she still deliberately and unconsciously edged closer to Meng Chao. She called him "Mr. Meng" in a coquettish tone, nauseating people to the point of dropping goosebumps everywhere.

Lin Qin was puzzled by this and a little unhappy. Fortunately, Meng Chao didn’t pay much attention to Jin Feiyun, maintaining a gentlemanly distance from start to finish and keeping her at a great distance.

Later, Lin Qin was surprised for quite a while after hearing about the incident from Chu Hong, realizing why Jin Feiyun kept sidling up to Meng Chao.

However, he couldn’t understand Jin Feiyun’s actions, let alone figure out what she could gain from doing so. Her reputation was ruined, and there seemed to be no gain, so what was the point?

It wasn’t surprising Lin Qin found it hard to understand. Born into a wealthy family as an only child, he hadn’t experienced cutthroat competition. His growing environment was relatively simple, apart from a high school period that gave him social anxiety. Otherwise, he grew up in a greenhouse. Even after entering the entertainment industry, due to his father’s connections, he was well-protected. If he wanted to make movies, top resources were offered to him, so he naturally couldn’t see the darker side of this industry.

Actually, what Jin Feiyun did was merely the norm in this industry; Lin Qin just encountered it for the first time.

He was shocked by human nature but didn’t play the saint by criticizing Jin Feiyun, as everyone has their way of living. Lin Qin didn’t want to interfere nor had the right to.

However, in his heart, he had already built a wall, keeping Jin Feiyun and others like her out, at a safe distance.

If Jin Feiyun had calmed down after Meng Chao posted the clarification Weibo, then Meng Chao wouldn’t pursue the matter further. After all, having been in this circle for so long, Meng Chao was used to it, and if he pursued every single issue, he’d never manage it all.

However, it seemed Jin Feiyun had made up her mind and decided to take advantage of this opportunity to entangle herself with Meng Chao, even going so far as to sneak into someone’s bed at night.

But she didn’t expect to enter the wrong room and ended up in Lin Qin’s room...
