I love you the most in the world [Entertainment circle]

Chapter 180.1

Editor: Jodi

When the first phase of the reality show finished recording, Lin An Lan and Cheng Yu returned to their home.

And although they had been away for three days, the relaxed nature of their dates meant they weren’t tired, so Lin An Lan, with great interest, placed the prizes they had won during the games in their bedroom.

The bear was so large that, after some thought, Lin An Lan decided to place it in the corner, with its legs sprawled on the floor, making it a comfortable spot to lean against.

Then after he was done with the bear, he put the cactus next to it.

Cheng Yu laughed, “Now it’s a bear in the cactus garden.”

“But it’s still very cute.” Lin An Lan said in response.

“It is very cute.” Cheng Yu agreed, ruffling Lin An Lan’s hair. “Anything you do is naturally cute.”

Lin An Lan, already used to Cheng Yu’s occasional sweet talk, placed the remaining little monkey toy and finally sat on the bed to rest.

Over the next few weeks, they recorded three episodes intermittently and did six live broadcasts, building up anticipation. Then finally, in mid-April, ‘Let’s Date’ was officially scheduled to air.

From the moment the show had been announced, it had been highly anticipated. What’s more the program team’s live broadcasts kept the show’s momentum going, leading to the first episode’s high ratings and online viewership.

That night, ‘Let’s Date’ and ‘Lin An Lan and Cheng Yu’ trended together on social media.

And Cheng Yu, who was checking the hot search excitedly, saw the positive feedback flooding Weibo.

“This show is too amazing! I love it so much! My god, I really love it!”

“I thought Lin An Lan and Cheng Yu would be very awkward on such a show, but they are so natural. Cheng Yu really loves Lin An Lan, you can see his love and how he dotes on him through the screen.”

“Lin An Lan is super handsome!!! His bare face is stunning, and he looks adorable when he’s sleepy. He was obviously very tired, he still insisted on waiting for Cheng Yu—it’s too cute. If I were Cheng Yu, I’d love him too!”

“Wow, I thought Lin An Lan wasn’t the type to act cute, but his subtle cuteness is deadly. The cameraman did a great job capturing him snuggling up to Cheng Yu before bed. I watched that scene three times!”

“Cheng Ge is also very considerate, even blow drying An An’s hair. My boyfriend doesn’t do that!”

“He does more than dry hair! Cheng Ge can cook too. He’s the perfect boyfriend for home and travel!”

While casual fans gushed on Weibo, CP fans on the forums delved deeper into Lin An Lan and Cheng Yu’s relationship, discussing their post-interview details.

“Sisters, did you see that? Cheng Ge was really already interested in An An before!”

“We saw it, we saw it, our building is seriously amazing. We guessed Cheng Ge liked An An even before filming, which is why he paired him with Gu Shuyu. It turns out Cheng Ge liked An An since school days!”

“So sweet, so sweet! My effing goodness! High school romance, I’m here for it!”

“Damn! Cheng Ge has been deeply in love since high school, even choosing the same university as An An.”

“I can guarantee that Cheng Ge must have already liked An An at that time. He just didn’t realize it himself, that’s why he didn’t say it out loud, but in his heart, he definitely paid attention to him and even enrolled in the same university as An An.”

“Wow, then if Cheng Ge had confessed back then, wouldn’t they have been able to be together during university?”

“Maybe.”

“Not necessarily. From the interview, An An shouldn’t have particularly cared about Cheng Ge at that time, what’s more he also didn’t know that Cheng Ge liked him.”

“Sigh, it would have been great if they had been together since university.”

“But it’s also very good that they’re together now. Look at how sweet they are. During the interview, they were so in sync that the hostess couldn’t even get a word in.”

“Hahahahaha, the hostess was too miserable, just eating dog food the whole time.”

“That’s right, especially when An An mentioned his personality flaws, and Cheng Ge defended him. The hostess’s expression was simply— I’ll just sit here quietly and watch you guys show off your love.”

“So now it’s basically been confirmed. Cheng Ge liked An An before the filming of ‘Yu Lan’, then during the filming, he realized his feelings as he acted out as Jing Huan, hence that song.”

“Then before Cheng Ge sang that song, did An An know Cheng Ge liked him, or did he reject him?”

“I think he probably rejected him.” Someone guessed. “Cheng Ge and Jing Huan have different personalities. Plus, Gu Shuyu is clearly straight—he even dated Sun Xinxin. Jing Huan might have held back because of that. But An An had no romantic experience, so Cheng Ge might have tested the waters or jokingly confessed but didn’t get the response he wanted. That’s likely why he wrote and sang such a sad song at that time.”

“Ah ah ah ah, I remember now! Do you guys remember how Cheng Ge got sick back then? He even missed several promotional events for the movie ‘8th Sunday Night’. And once, there was a VCR from the crew and he looked so pale. Although he was smiling, his brows showed clear sadness. I had wondered then if it wasn’t just physical illness but also a broken heart.”

“!!!!! Oh my god!! Sis, you’re amazing! Now that you mention it, it makes sense. Cheng Ge hardly ever gets sick, but that time he was noticeably unwell. I felt so bad watching him, and it was right after filming ‘Yun Yun’ too. Maybe Cheng Ge confessed to An An and got rejected. Cheng Ge has liked An An since high school, so being rejected would naturally make him sad, even sick.”

“But didn’t Cheng Ge attend the celebration banquet for ‘8th Sunday Night’? He seemed already fine then.”

“Maybe they got back together before that.”

“Yeah, it’s possible An An initially rejected him but then realized later that he liked Cheng Ge, so they reconciled.”
