Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 397 - 396: Level of Tacit Understanding

Before this, Tiana Thorne was lying in the hospital and didn’t participate in the rehearsals. Everything was told to her at the last minute.

May Sloane was a bit nervous, afraid she might make a mistake: "Remember, on stage, you need to give Zephyr a hug."

"Okay, watch from here, and post immediately after the hug."

"Okay."

Tiana Thorne’s beautiful fox-like eyes slightly squinted as she lazily smiled, exuding an elegant charm that was captivating.

She allowed these people to scold her, just waiting for the moment the whole place would explode with excitement.

Before that day comes, isn’t it necessary to earn some sympathy from the netizens?

Tiana Thorne walked up with graceful and intellectual steps, waved to the fans and the media, her smile radiant, and her dimples warm at this moment.

It was because she looked so stunningly beautiful that people found it hard to accept the news about her and a wealthy businessman.

The male fans were both distressed about her health and angry at her for not taking care of herself, feeling very conflicted.

Clement Xavier took the stage, and all the female fans screamed.

"Zephyr! Zephyr!"

"Ahhh, Zephyr is so handsome!"

"Zephyr, what a beauty!"

The scene was extremely lively.

Tiana Thorne had excellent hearing and deliberately listened to the whispers of Clement Xavier’s fans.

"Did you see the trending topic?"

"I did. I used to think Tiana Thorne was different from other female celebrities in the entertainment circle, but now I realize she’s just the same."

"She’s really disgraceful, not worthy of Zephyr."

"I really hate the Honey-Candy CP, it’s so disgusting. Look up front, they’re holding signs, pretending they haven’t heard about the scandal on the trending topics."

"Thinking about it gives me goosebumps."

As they talked, they seemed to have a pang of conscience and said with a sigh: "Actually, Tiana Thorne is quite pitiful, being wrongfully accused before and falling from grace, now she has to rely on a wealthy businessman and accidentally met a jerk."

"Yeah, when you think about it, she’s indeed pitiful. She wants to climb up by relying on Zephyr, we should be considerate. After all, Zephyr accepted her, and even with no makeup, she looks pretty."

"But just seeing the Honey-Candy CP fans makes me sick, ahhh, stop talking, Zephyr smiled."

"So handsome, so handsome!"

Tiana Thorne smiled helplessly, a smile that appeared playful despite her weariness, with crescent-shaped eyes full of gentle grace.

Instantly, she conquered her male fans at the press conference.

The anger was gone, only heartache remained, and an inner loathing for that mysterious wealthy businessman grew stronger.

"For such a lovely and beautiful woman as Tiana, she must have been deceived by that jerk."

"That businessman is absolutely hateful, tainting the national goddess."

"If I find out which bastard it is, I’d beat him to death."

Tiana Thorne and Clement Xavier held hands and bowed to everyone.

Due to feeling unwell, she didn’t speak.

Clement Xavier, holding a microphone, smiled gently: "Thank you for your support. Please tell me loudly, what drama is about to air during the summer vacation?"

"Fox Fairy"

"Thank you for your attention. This drama is the first one I’ve worked on with Tiana Thorne, and it’s her first fantasy drama as well. I hope you’ll support her."

As he finished speaking, the applause erupted.

Tiana Thorne nodded slightly: "Thank you."

The host took the microphone, smiling: "Our leading lady is not only acting in her first fantasy drama but also her first TV drama and costume drama. Moreover, she attended the press conference despite being unwell, so let’s give her some applause."

The applause sounded again, very lively.

"Next, let’s have the two leading actors play some games to test their chemistry."

The crowd cheered.

They wrote each other’s hobbies on small boards.

Tiana Thorne smiled. Although she and Clement Xavier paid close attention to each other, they weren’t aware of all his preferences.

To avoid awkwardness on the spot and leave fans with a perfect impression, they went over the answers before going on stage.

Tiana Thorne and Clement Xavier each sat on the opposite sides of the stage.

The host began to ask.

"What’s your favorite food?"

Tiana Thorne meditated for a moment and then wrote down the answer.

Clement Xavier’s expression was calm and gentle, as he smoothly wrote down his answer.

"Alright, let’s reveal the answers."

Tiana Thorne’s board showed: "White rice, steamed buns, noodles."

Clement Xavier’s board showed: "Roasted rabbit meat, chicken, spicy beef."

Suddenly, the whole venue was abuzz.

"Oh my God, they even know each other’s favorite foods, could they actually have dated?"

"My Zephyr is still so thrifty. It must be because he was too busy on set. These are convenient to eat, and he fell in love with them after eating them."

"I suddenly envy Tiana Thorne. Why does she love to eat meat, and yet she doesn’t gain any weight!"

The host asked again: "What’s your favorite movie?"

The two exchanged glances for a moment, then wrote down their answers on the small boards.

Two minutes later, the host mysteriously said, "Alright, it’s time to reveal the answers."

Everyone held their breath again, watching intently.

Tiana Thorne’s board read: "Titanic."

Clement Xavier turned his card: "Adventures of Kiki and Coco."

This was a moment to get closer to their idols, and everyone quickly noted it down on their phones.

"What’s your favorite thing to do before going to bed?"

Tiana Thorne thought for a moment, what was it?

Clement Xavier had already written it down, looking towards her.

The host urged with a tense voice: "Thirty seconds left."

Tiana Thorne looked at the expectant little eyes and the CP fans’ infatuated smiles, and suddenly remembered.

"Alright, reveal the answers together."

Tiana Thorne wrote: "Reading fashion magazines."

Clement Xavier wrote: "Looking in the mirror."

Immediately, the whole place burst into laughter.

Tiana Thorne’s pre-bedtime hobby was so endearing, just like most girls looking at themselves in the bathroom mirror to check how cute they are.

Many of Clement Xavier’s solo fans also started to like her, finding her very adorable.

The host was very pleased, saying with a smile: "It seems the two get along well in the filming crew and remember each other’s hobbies."

Turning to the smiling fans: "I wonder if you all remembered?"

"We did," the whole crowd echoed in unison, creating a great atmosphere.

At this point, the host gave a mischievous smile: "Since we’ve assessed the chemistry, let’s see how the two do in terms of physical stamina."

The host began to explain the rules of the game.

Tiana Thorne lay on the yoga mat, while Clement Xavier did push-ups above her.

She held a finger-length biscuit in her mouth, feeding him each time he leaned down.

After biting it, Clement Xavier placed it in a nearby bowl; if they managed more than ten, the stamina test would be considered passed.

Instantly, the whole place was abuzz, especially the CP fans, wishing the two would kiss on stage.

Tiana Thorne was already lying in place.

Then, with the host’s command: "The stamina test game begins!"

Clement Xavier’s stamina was unquestionable, one by one, and he was very gentlemanly, not touching her.

However, as the game proceeded, Tiana Thorne felt a deep, serene gaze fixed on her.

When Clement Xavier rose, she instinctively looked toward the source of the gaze.
