Chapter 89 Start of the live broadcast
Editor: Jodi
Lin Qin suddenly saying that made Chu Hong and Meng Ke who knew very well that they were deeply in love look at Lin Qin in surprise. Weren’t their feelings very deep? They had even reached the stage of meeting parents and discussing marriage so why did Lin Qin seem so unhurried now?
Raising an eyebrow at the two of them, Lin Qin’s eyes twinkled with mischief.
It was only then realization dawned on Chu Hong and Meng Ke after they looked at Meng Chao who, instead of showing any sign of panic at Lin Qin’s words, sat back relaxed, even adding, “Yes, Grandfather, we are not in a hurry.”
Meng Zhao Kang had really brought this on himself.
Lin Qin and Meng Chao were doing this on purpose. They knew that the Old Man was anxious to form a relationship with the Chu family through marriage, so they deliberately made him anxious.
Who asked him to go overboard in the morning? Lin Qin couldn’t be bullied for nothing, so they had to fight back a little bit. What’s more this counterattack was harmless, could make himself suffer a little and was also a little naughty.
And sure enough, the old man was anxious, because he blurted out, “Meng Chao is twenty seven twenty eight, almost nearing thirty, he’s not so young anymore, so it’s really high time he settles down a little earlier.”
However Meng Chao used the words the old man had said himself in the morning against him, “Grandfather, didn’t you ask me to entertain the guest? Now that she’s here, why don’t I show her around?”
Old Man Meng was slapped in the face again, however he said with a stiff neck, “There’s no need, take Xiao Qin for a good walk around the estate, I’ll have Meng Ke entertain the guest.”
This old face of his had been lost completely today. Old Man Meng sighed silently in his heart.
And Meng Chao, barely stifling his laughter, feigned reluctance, “Alright then, I’ll take Qin Qin for a stroll.”
“Go, go, don’t let Xiao Qin feel slighted.” Old Man Meng was even considerate as he advised with care.
Taking Lin Qin’s hand, Meng Chao walked towards the mansion’s garden, and the others, being very discerning, didn’t follow up to disturb them, giving the couple space.
When Lin Qin and Meng Chao finally reached the park, they couldn’t help but look at each other and laugh, then they hugged each other and exchanged a lingering kiss amid the fragrance of plum blossoms.
In fact, Meng Chao had originally had no intention of telling the old man about Lin Qin’s background, because the one he was in a relationship with was Lin Qin, not the grandson of Old Chu of the Chu family, just Lin Qin the individual.
However since Chu Hong was willing to come out to support Lin Qin, then he would also accept her goodwill.
After their kiss, Meng Chao couldn’t help but rub Lin Qin’s hair, saying with a smile on his brow, “You’re becoming more and more naughty.”
Lin Qin’s eyes narrowed with laughter, “Did I scare Meng Chao Ge?”
Of course Lin Qin had to stand up for himself, which was why he had deliberately said something like that to make the old man anxious, however he had been confident that Meng Chao would understand him, and sure enough, he had cooperated with him very well.
“How could I possibly be scared?” Meng Chao looked at him with a focused and deeply affectionate gaze, saying confidently, “My Qin Qin is so dead set on me and can’t wait to marry me, how could we possibly talk about it later?”
Lin Qin didn’t deny it, and smiling, he went on his tiptoes to give him a kiss, and needless to say, his expression couldn’t have been anymore proud.
“It’s snowing again.”
Snowflakes drifted down from the sky, and Lin Qin reached out to catch some, only, what he caught were snow white petals of plum blossoms. It turns out it wasn’t snowing, but that the snow white petals of plum blossoms were fluttering down.
The simple but elegant fragrance of plum blossoms filled the air, refreshing Lin Qin as he breathed in deeply, then he flung himself into the arms of his dreams, then under the sky, amidst the flurry falling of flower petals, he hugged Meng Chao tightly.
……
After going to Meng Chao’s house to meet Meng Chao’s parents, the relationship between Meng Chao and Lin Qin heated up steadily, as if they were in the throes of a passionate love affair and couldn’t wait to stick together at every moment. They were caught by the paparazzi on several occasions, but their restraint in public made it look like they were merely close friends of the same sex, leaving no room for speculation about a romantic relationship.
However the paparazzi, so used to making up stories, used the pictures that they took, pictures that weren’t overly intimate, to spin hundreds of love and hate stories.
Today: “Meng Chao and Lin Qin spotted at a KTV late at night, suspected to be in a relationship. Are they turning their on-screen chemistry into a real-life romance?”
Tomorrow: “Meng Chao and Lin Qin seen shopping intimately. Have they made their reel love real?”
And the day after: “Reviewing the industry’s reel-to-real couples, the most popular and ship-worthy cp turns out to be them!”
In the beginning, the fans of Lin Qin and Meng Chao defended them under the marketing accounts, saying that they were just friends and that they shouldn’t misunderstand.
However after a long time of the reel-to-real narrative continuing, the fans became immune, and even started to urge them to get married underneath.
[Did Lin Qin and Meng Chao go public in today’s reel-to-real drama? No!]
[Are Lin Qin and Meng Chao getting married? Not yet!]
[When exactly will Lin Qin and Meng Chao get married? Don’t know!]
[Did the marketing accounts take pictures of Lin Qin and Meng Chao today? They did!]
The comment section was filled with such comments, causing the melon eaters to laugh, then one comment rose to the top:
[I definitely won’t be surprised if Lin Qin and Meng Chao ever go public. People who supposedly have no time for ‘business’ actually manage to spend every day together. Is it because you dislike that your fans haven’t been fed enough dog food? Instead of letting paparazzi snap you, you might as well take the pictures yourself and post them online! Can’t you see the wailing fans under your accounts?]
However this comment that was just a joke went up to the top of the hot search a few days later because it turned out to be prophetic.
Lin Qin and Meng Chao really did go public a few days later!
…….
The backstory of this involved the program [We Are Together].
When [We Are Together] first aired, it was initially slated for 12 episodes, however because the final guests, Fang Ming Hui and Yi Ran made a mess of things and made the episode unpleasant, it caused the production team to harden their hearts, return Fang Ming Hui’s investment, then cut that entire episode out.
And this action resulted in there being a missing episode, which the production team acknowledged to the viewers then promised that they would record a New Year’s special as compensation.
Of course all of this was with the agreement of Meng Chao and Lin Qin beforehand, so naturally, it had to fit in with the two’s schedules.
At that time Lin Qin and Meng Chao refused, however it wasn’t that they were refusing the program’s request to do a New Year’s special but that they should turn the recording into a live broadcast instead.
Meng Chao took the initiative to propose a three-hour live broadcast on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month.
And with such an extended duration, the production team naturally agreed happily, then after coordinating with a streaming platform and putting the news about it online, they looked forward to the arrival of the date of the broadcast.
In the blink of an eye, the day arrived, and as it coincided with the winter break, viewers flocked in numbers to the streaming platform to camp out for the broadcast.
And although the live broadcast platform had anticipated that there will be a lot of viewers on this day, causing them to even do a good job of server maintenance in advance, the system still crashed, with many viewers locked out of the broadcast room. Thankfully, after ten minutes of the platform’s emergency maintenance, the viewers were able to access the live broadcast room safely.
And then, the live broadcast began officially….
