Chapter 165.2 [Extra two]
Lin An Lan ruffled Cheng Yu’s hair, feeling like he was dealing with a teenager in the throes of young love.
“Then when should we make it official?” He asked Cheng Yu. “We should announce it before the wedding, right? We can’t wait until the day of the wedding to announce it.”
“What do you think?” Cheng Yu asked him.
“You’re asking me again.” Lin An Lan felt like he was calling the shots too much. “I picked the day of the proposal, I picked the wedding day, and now I have to pick the announcement day too? I’ll give you a chance to choose. You pick the time, and I’ll go along with it.”
“Anytime is okay with you?” Cheng Yu asked him.
Lin An Lan nodded, his eyes clear and sincere. “Of course.”
Cheng Yu hesitated for a moment, but then felt in the end that today was the most suitable, so with a hint of uncertainty, he looked at Lin An Lan with a coquettish expression. “Do you think after midnight tonight is too early?”
Lin An Lan didn’t think it was too early. They were planning to get married in August, and it was already February, so making the announcement now seemed just right.
“It’s not too early.” He told him. “It’s a great day, a new year, a new beginning, a new status.”
Cheng Yu was pleasantly surprised. “Really?”
Lin An Lan caressed his face. “Little flower likes it, so yes.”
Cheng Yu instantly hugged him tightly, unable to contain his smile.
He was so happy. There was nothing more joyful than being able to tell everyone out loud that Lin An Lan was his boyfriend.
For Cheng Yu, it was a thousand times better than winning an award.
He couldn’t help but hold onto the person in his arms tighter. Lin An Lan felt a bit of pain from being squeezed, but didn’t say anything. He could feel the joy emanating from Cheng Yu, feel his genuine happiness from the bottom of his heart.
Since his little flower was rarely this happy, he naturally should be left alone to enjoy it a bit more.
After Cheng Yu had hugged him enough, he finally let go, smiling at him.
Lin An Lan checked the time and saw that they still had two hours until midnight.
So they discussed the wording of the announcement and then notified their respective agents.
Zhuo Siya was completely bewildered: [Do you realize it’s New Year’s Eve? You’re going public on New Year’s Eve? Are you thinking the Weibo programmers are too happy with their families right now?]
Lin An Lan’s conscience twinged a little, then he comforted him, “[At least it would already be a new day, New Year’s Day, not New Year’s Eve anymore.]
Zhuo Siya: ….. Was there a difference?
[Have you made up your mind?]
Lin An Lan: [I’d already made up my mind long ago, I was just waiting for the right time.]
Zhuo Siya couldn’t argue and just said: [Okay, I’ll start making preparations on my end.]
Lin An Lan didn’t want to disturb their family reunion too much, so he said to him: [There’s no need, we’ll just announce our relationship publicly, there’s no need for much PR or media guidance, so you go ahead and enjoy your reunion. I was just giving you a heads up.]
But how could Zhuo Siya believe his words?
[It’s fine. There are no statutory holidays in our line of work anyway. Haven’t you noticed how many actors haven’t gone home today and are still filming on set? It’s just you, who just has to go home every New Year’s Eve, which allows me to reunite with my family too, so you don’t have to feel embarrassed. It’s my job, I should handle it.]
Seeing him say this, Lin An Lan didn’t insist further and wished him a happy new year: [Happy New Year.]
[You too.]
The exchange on Cheng Yu’s side was similar. Sun Meng started working late at night, preparing to monitor the situation and immediately deploy water armies if things went awry.
Wang Cheng, on the other hand, was even more excited: [Now!! Tonight!!!]
Wang Cheng abandoned the Spring Festival Gala on the spot and ran back to his room: [Oh my god, Cheng Ge, tonight, the Yu Lan girls are destined to stay up all night!]
Cheng Yu: [I think they’ll be able to have good dreams.]
Wang Cheng: [I’m afraid they won’t want to sleep at all and would just want to stay up all night eating candy!]
Cheng Yu thought for a moment: [Then I’ll send them red envelopes.]
Wang Cheng: [….. Then I feel like they won’t be able to sleep even more.]
Lin An Lan and Cheng Yu had everything prepared, so they posted on Weibo at exactly midnight.
Cheng Yu was the first to post.
Cheng Yu V: Happy New Year, wishing you health, safety, and success in the new year. Jing Huan likes Gu Shuyu, Cheng Yu likes Lin An Lan.
He posted a picture of the two of them wearing school uniforms, taken at the school playground during the filming of ‘Yun Yun’.
Lin An Lan quickly reposted his post and replied: Happy New Year, wishing you all the best in the new year and everything moves towards a better direction. Gu Shuyu doesn’t like Jing Huan, but Lin An Lan likes Cheng Yu.
He also included a picture, showing the two of them standing in the sunlight, their shadows overlapping.
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
From Weibo to forums, those who were just discussing the Spring Festival Gala started spreading the news like wildfire, shouting, “Lin An Lan and Cheng Yu made it official!!!! Damn, they actually made it official!!!!”
Netizens were amazed and asked, “Is it the official announcement I understand? Are they together? Are they coming out of the closet?”
“Oh my god, I saw that tall building a few days ago saying Cheng Yu definitely liked Lin An Lan, and now they’ve announced it officially!!!!”
“I always wondered why these two acted so well in ‘Yun Yun’. turns out it was real emotions!”
“Is it true? Is it true? Is it really true? Don’t let me get excited for nothing, is this brotherly love? Not the socialist kind?”
“Lin An Lan’s exact words: ‘Gu Shuyu doesn’t like Jing Huan, but Lin An Lan likes Cheng Yu.’ If Gu Shuyu’s dislike for Jing Huan isn’t love, then isn’t Lin An Lan’s liking for Cheng Yu love? Is this what an official announcement means?”
“Sob sob sob, my ship actually sailed, I’m so touched!”
“Ahhhh, I’m going to rewatch ‘Yun Yun’ tonight, and ‘Backpacking For Youngsters,’ I’m so happy, my ship actually sailed, I’m not sleeping tonight!”
“So jealous. I’m not in your circle but I’ve heard about this beautiful love story, they’re a perfect match, if I didn’t abstain from shipping real people, I’d want in too.”
“I’m so fulfilled! My goldfish’s heartbreak has finally been filled outside of the drama. This post-sales service is great, I can go watch the goldfish’s cut again!”
As people discussed excitedly, the number of well-wishers under Lin An Lan and Cheng Yu’s Weibo posts grew, and in no time, the platform crashed. Lin An Lan remained calm about it all, even feeling guilty for making the programmers work overtime on New Year’s Day.
He and Cheng Yu waited for a while before the platform was successfully repaired.
Then he opened the comments and saw many actors he had worked with sending him blessings, such as Fan Ruiwen and Xu Xiuying.
Cheng Yu, on the other hand, received a WeChat message from Director Zhang, who trembled as he asked, “[Xiao Cheng, when did you start liking Lin An Lan? Did you get too immersed in the role during filming and couldn’t snap out of it?]”
Clearly, Director Zhang, who was afraid his movie had affected Cheng Yu’s sexuality, was also very concerned today.
