CH 40

In the picture, anyone who was not blind can tell who the people surrounded by the crowd were. It was Song Yan and Wen Li wearing oversized doll costumes, holding their heads while facing a police officer in a blue uniform. The cameramen were looking at each other, their cameras facing each other. They not only belong to the same category but also the same manufacturer.

356L:「[Image]」

357L:「I hope I won't be approached by PR.」

358L:「I'm a bit scared. I should apply for deletion.」

...

Both the fans and the haters are silent.

400L:「Hahahaha, the fans and haters thought they were spreading rumors for attention, but damn, it turned out to be true.」

455L:「OP, you're late. It's already been picked up by marketing accounts and made it to the real-time trending list.」

505L:「Hahahaha, in this world, anything can happen. Two A-list celebrities actually got involved in such a ridiculous social news event.」

625L:「I apologize to the OP. I've been a casual fan of Song Yan and always liked his indifferent noble young master persona. Now I feel conflicted and find it hard to accept his new persona...」

701L:「I feel the same, complicated feelings. I'm not a fan of Wen Li's personality, but I can't help but admire her elegant and glamorous face. Why did she turn out to be such a clown! Damn!」

Most of the people expressing their reactions in the thread were ordinary netizens, while those who were fans mostly gathered on Weibo.

Wen Li put down her phone and didn't want to look at it anymore.

Because of this huge mistake, even though they managed to get the car ride, they were still the last among the four guest couples to arrive at the destination.

They successfully met with the other guests at the restaurant, when Qi Sihan asked, "Teacher Wen Li, how come you guys, who came by car, didn't arrive earlier than me and Yan Zhun, who pushed the shopping cart?"

Wen Li replied lifelessly, "The situation is quite complicated. It's not easy to explain in a few words."

Fortunately, the production team understood that this accident was their fault in planning, so they didn't make them eat box lunches. After a consultation with the director, they were given a sumptuous lunch instead.

The other three guest couples didn't have their phones with them and had no idea what had happened. They all ate in silence with a heavy atmosphere surrounding them.

In the evening, there would be a charity live broadcast segment in the hotel room. There was no recording scheduled for the afternoon, so the guests were free to arrange their own itinerary. They can choose to rest at the hotel or go sightseeing outside.

Wen Li didn't hesitate and chose the former.

The hotel rooms were equipped with cameras and audio devices in advance, but the guests could still choose to turn them off. Wen Li, as usual, didn't give the production team any chance to eavesdrop on her private conversations with Song Yan and turned them all off as soon as she entered the room.

After walking outside under the sun for the whole morning, wearing such heavy doll costumes, Wen Li sat by the air conditioner in the room and, after calming down, cautiously opened Weibo on her phone.

Several hot searches were clearly related to her.

The production team acted quickly and apologized through their official Weibo account shortly after the matter was leaked. They stated that the incident of being stopped by the police during the program recording was completely unexpected due to planning errors and carelessness. They promised to be more cautious in the future.

Although their attitude was good and sincere, some people still felt that the production team should take more responsibility for disrupting public order and causing a delay in law enforcement.

Public opinion was always two-sided.

Comments such as "The production team didn't even know that tricycles couldn't carry passengers on the main road. Did Song Yan and Wen Li not know either? They earn so much money every year, yet they lack even basic common knowledge? What kind of celebrities are they? It's laughable" and "They at least have bachelor's degrees, and although they studied acting, they should have taken some general education classes in high school. Song Yan even has a master's degree. Did they just play around with their education?" have not disappeared.

As entertainers, they stand under the spotlight, and whenever there is the slightest movement, they become targets of certain people's "arrows of justice". Individuals like them can't solve such issues, that's when PR comes into play.

Not long after, the traffic program also posted a Weibo through their official account.

「Didn't even receive appearance fees, but managed to have such a dreamlike collaboration with @InThisWorldWithYou. Officer Tang says it was a beautiful 'accident'. Tune in tonight at 19:30 on Rong City Traffic Channel 1, where the 'Salt Grain Couple', @Song Yan and @Wen Litchi, will present a friendly cameo as 'anti-role models' and won't accept any remuneration! We hope everyone will remember the traffic regulations and travel safely. 」

The post was accompanied by several promotional photos.

Once this Weibo was posted, those who blamed the celebrities for everything suddenly had nothing to say.

Even the public officials didn't find it troublesome and believed that the involvement of two big stars could attract more attention to traffic safety.

Therefore, these "knights of justice" had to keep quiet.

This matter should have been resolved at this point, but it still remained a hot topic.

One of the hot searches was「#NeverFeltTimeWasSoDifficult.」

Clicking into it, it was an unverified personal Weibo account.

「#NeverFeltTimeWasSoDifficult# That's why many people dislike spoilers for a reason. They already whet your appetite, but the actual content is still being delivered slowly. My friends and I are like two men waiting outside the delivery room while our wives are giving birth. 」

Wen Li didn't look forward to the evening's live broadcast event at all and exited the hot search with mixed feelings.

Even if it's difficult, it's just a few hours. What should happen will still happen.

Song Yan received a call from his manager just now and went to the side room to take the call. He hasn't come out since.

Wen Li climbed out of bed and sneaked over to eavesdrop.

With her ear pressed against the door, she faintly heard Song Yan's voice.

First, he said helplessly, "What kind of image do I have that would collapse?"

Then, with a hint of surprise, he said, "Cold and aloof? When did I establish such an image?"

Wen Li thought to herself, you never established it, you're just naturally like that, so there's no question of establishing or not.

Finally, there were a few intermittent laughs.

"Cute? Is that what the fans say?"

"It's influenced by Wen Li. She infected me with her cuteness."

Outside the door, Wen Li froze.

When Song Yan finished his call and came out of the side room, he happened to see fleeing back of Wen Li.

She jumped onto the bed, quickly pulled up the covers, and pretended to make a few extremely fake snores.

After spending so much time together, Wen Li had influenced him with some of her personality traits, but he couldn't acquire certain girlish traits.

At least he didn't hide away when he felt embarrassed like Wen Li did. A grown man like Song Yan couldn't learn that.

——

The live broadcast in the evening started as scheduled at eight o'clock. After confirming the lighting position, the staff members started the broadcast.

As soon as the broadcast started, the screen was filled with a barrage of comments, but the experienced guests from previous episodes were not startled by it.

Usually, the barrage would be filled with comments like "I'm here" or "Sanli and Beauty Song, I'm here", but today's barrage was filled with one phrase.

「React to the traffic program.」

The traffic program was scheduled to air at 7:30 pm., their special segment would only last for twenty minutes. Since the traffic channel was a local satellite station, viewers from other provinces couldn't watch it. To accommodate viewers from other provinces, every episode of the program was broadcast simultaneously on television and online platforms, and it had already been aired.

The staff members found the video website and opened the freshly uploaded new episode.

Wen Li didn't understand why the audience loved watching their reactions so much.

After learning her lesson from the last reaction, Wen Li knew it would be awkward, so she mentally prepared herself in advance.

「New Town's Treasure.」

「Full of excitement.」

「Classic, forever memorable.」

「Hello, everyone! You're welcome to watch 'Fox Couple's Adventures'.」

While reading the barrage of comments, Wen Li was busy thanking people for their gifts, "Thank you, 'Congratulations to the Salt Grain Couple for receiving the Legal Coffee title' for the fifty luxury cruises. Who became a Legal Coffee? Quickly change your ID."

"Thank you, 'Okay, Legal Coffee'... I declare that you have been expelled from the fandom."

In the video, the police officer had already stopped the tricycle with the two foxes. The male fox and the female fox stood side by side. The female fox even rubbed against the male fox.

「The Fox Couple is so cute, hahaha.」

「Sanli: Husband, I'm scared qwq.」

「The Domineering CEO's fox-like little wife.」

In the video, the police officer asked Song Yan if the female fox was his real wife, and Wen Li jumped out and said, "I'm his real wife". In Wen Li's eyes, it was to prevent the officer from blaming everything on Song Yan and was an act of being a good teammate.

But in the eyes of the audience...

「Damn, I actually stumbled upon my own family's sugar. Is there something wrong with my brain?」

「Hey, you're not alone, I was already preparing to go to the hospital to make an appointment.」

「Traffic program, spreading sugar, you're truly the Sugar Fairy.」

「In This World With You: So love can disappear, right?」

"Thank you, '[In This World With You] program team, please reflect on why you are not as sweet as a traffic program' for sending fifteen luxury cruises," Wen Li looked up at several staff members, "Please reflect on it."

Staff members: "?"

Could you please reflect on yourself first?

In the video, the program team came to the rescue. After a discussion, the police officer asked the two foxes to remove their headgear with a curious expression.

Wen Li said, "They look too ugly," and the barrage of comments floated by, saying things like, "Listen to this, is this human language?" and "Your existence till now is the mercy of all humanity". But in the end, they had no choice but to take off the headgear.

Visibly embarrassed, Wen Li raised her furry paw and couldn't help but cover her face.

There was a burst of exclamation around her.

"Officer Tang really caught two celebrities!"

「The one with a strong immersive rescue feeling has started picking his feet.」

「World-famous painting.」

「The subtitles even featured famous actors, Mr. Song Yan and Ms. Wen Li, with a copy-paste from Baidu Baike, hahaha.」

The barrage in the live stream was also filled with "hahaha", various gifts flooded the screen. Finally, after enduring these twenty minutes, Wen Li bit her lip, stared at the camera, and said, "Have you finished watching? Are you satisfied?"

「Satisfied, satisfied.」

「Looking forward to your next performance.」

「Want to immigrate? How about we pool funds for you?」

"Immigrate? What are you talking about?" Wen Li forced herself to shift the focus onto Song Yan, "Even Teacher Song hasn't mentioned immigration. He completely ruined his public image today. I'm just so-so. It's no big deal."

「What are you proud of, woman?」

「It's your fans who are embarrassed when you ruin your public image.」

「My roommate knows that I'm a fan of Wen Li, and she was laughing about how my idol, the main character, was caught by traffic police while riding a tricycle. She's on the verge of unfollowing me.」

Song Yan, who was cued in, raised his eyes and looked at her, his tone indifferent, "Who was to blame for ruining my public image?"

「Beauty, you even know that your public image was ruined, hahaha.」

「But no matter how aloof you are, as long as you appear on variety shows, your public image will be ruined. Song Yan, you've been in the industry for ten years. Don't you understand yet?」

「The white moonlight in the film industry has become a social and legal expert, and the reasons behind it are heartbreaking.」

Suddenly, Wen Li spoke softly again, "Blame me, okay? I shouldn't have suggested wearing that doll costume," Then she suddenly seemed to think of something and became louder again, "If it weren't for your bad luck of drawing a tricycle, I wouldn't have suggested wearing a doll costume. So you're the culprit."

Song Yan calmly asked, "Do you want to sit in a shopping cart?"

While Song Yan and Wen Li argued, the fans and CP fans in the barrage were also in a frenzy.

「A quarrel between elementary school chickens.」

「I don't understand what they're arguing about, it's fucking annoying.」

「@InThisWorldWithYou program team, can you stop sleeping tonight and release the main episode tomorrow?」

The staff immediately reminded, "Teachers, the program hasn't aired yet, please don't spoil it."

Wen Li shut her mouth and could only hint to the audience in the live stream, "You'll find out when the program airs. It takes two to tango. The idea was mine, but it has nothing to do with Teacher Song. Anyway, I can handle the pressure. When it becomes a hot topic, it will be Teacher Song who embarrasses himself."

After saying that, she smirked and raised her chin provocatively.

After hearing these words, Song Yan clenched his teeth. He found it both infuriating and amusing. He reached out and gently pinched her face, "Am I embarrassing myself alone? Are you not my wife?"

「What? Am I dreaming? Sugar?」

「When you show affection, can you give us a heads-up next time? I almost stopped breathing.」

「Fuck, pinching the face to death!!!!!!」

「Don't just pinch the face, put your mouth closer! Are you adults only capable of this?」

The live stream was still ongoing. It would have been fine to pinch each other privately, but Wen Li covered the side of her face that was pinched, wanting to scold him. However, with millions of eyes staring at them, she couldn't say anything.

Her heart was beating fast. Ignoring Song Yan, she pretended to be calm and cast her gaze onto the live stream screen, ready to divert attention with gratitude for gifts, "Thanks to the twenty deep-sea submarines from 'Give Daddy a Kiss',... Are you dreaming?"

Such a provoking statement, but none of the fans in the barrage took offense.

「Salt Grain CP, let's stop bickering with her and rush to the hot search. The whole country must see that our Salt Grain couple had physical contact!」

「Let the whole country see that Sanli just blushed!」

「Make her go viral and embarrass herself!」

「Beauty, don't worry, we won't let you embarrass yourself alone. We'll handle it fairly.」

Song Yan: "..."

Wen Li: "?"
