Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Why are we even discussing Wajuan's cheating on Little Pig in Chapter 463?
Wang Churan, who came to Qingdao to visit the set, happened to arrive on a day when Shen Juan had a night scene to film, or rather, except for some special circumstances, every day thereafter was scheduled for a night scene.

So, in order to maximize her time with her boyfriend, Wang Chuan decided to follow Shen Juan to the film set.

Instead of waiting in hotels and RVs.

On set, Liu Haocun watched as Shen Juan, who had been constantly torn between his emotions and whom he both loved and hated, was chatting happily with Wang Churan, who was suspected to be involved in the Sydney Harbour fireworks. He couldn't help but clench his teeth, and his clear and innocent eyes gradually lost focus, becoming empty and lifeless.

If someone who frequently watches horror movies saw this scene, they would probably recognize it as an evil female ghost at a glance!

(It can only be said that Liu Haocun and Yang Ying's terrifying fake smiles are quite different from Sister Tian's robotic fake smiles. They do have the potential to make ghost movies at certain times. However, Chinese ghost movies have declined for various reasons, and actresses with commercial value are unlikely to lower themselves to act in horror movies.)

Despite feeling quite displeased that Shen Juan had brought his girlfriend, a new girlfriend he had never met before, to the set, and even feeling a slight pang of jealousy, he was still deeply unhappy.

No Hakimi likes other cats or swarms they identify as cats trespassing into their territory; it makes them feel intensely insecure.

Hajicun was no exception.

Moreover, last time she brought her cousin Shen Yujie to the set, I was so angry that I lost my appetite for several days. This time, she even brought another cousin (Wang Chuan's nickname from his early days in "Oh My General")!
Is this forcing me to activate Spinosaurus form and breathe on everyone indiscriminately?

But Liu Haocun knew that Shen Juan was just like that; it was normal and reasonable for a playboy to have different female companions all the time.

Moreover, she had no right or qualification to criticize him, as she was neither Shen Juan's mother nor his romantic partner.

So he had no choice but to suppress his displeasure and put on a harmless and innocent act, treating people with courtesy.

"Have you had dinner yet? I have some snacks here, would you like to try them? Juanjuan said they're delicious!"

"I've already eaten, but thank you anyway."

Although Wang Churan sensed a faint sourness and a familiar, hostile aura emanating from Liu Haocun, she still politely accepted the snacks Liu Haocun offered her.

As Juanjuan's darling wife, the most important thing when you're out and about is not to gossip or make things difficult for Juanjuan!
But then she looked up at Liu Haocun and asked, "By the way, is your filming schedule very heavy tonight?"

Liu Haocun thought for a moment and realized that exaggerating the filming schedule for tonight might persuade her to go back to the hotel and not stay on set to affect her mood. So he smiled and nodded: "Yes, there are quite a few scenes to film. If the filming doesn't go smoothly, we might not finish until the early hours of the morning."

"Since that's the case, Juanjuan, you should have some too! Replenish your energy!" Wang Churan handed the half-eaten cake to Shen Juan, who was watching the show from the side. Only after watching him take a bite from the spot where she had already taken a bite did she close her eyes with satisfaction and smile happily.

"?"

Liu Haocun tilted his head, his smile unchanged.

But I was already starting to go crazy inside.

These snacks were clearly given to you by me, but you immediately fed them to Shen Juan, and then shamelessly showed off your affection in front of me!

Is this how you offer something borrowed from someone else?

The perceptive Wang Churan seemed to have noticed Liu Haocun's change in mood and had a general understanding of the state of her relationship with Juanjuan. So she pretended to be gentle and polite and asked with concern, "By the way, sister, won't you eat something?"

"No need, I'm not hungry," Liu Haocun corrected with a smile. "Besides, I was born in 00, so you don't need to call me 'sister'."

"Huh? But Juanjuan said you're the same age as him." Wang Churan's eyes widened slightly, looking somewhat surprised.

If competitiveness is the masculine gene ingrained in men, then the feminine gene ingrained in women is probably the art of flaunting their charm. It can only be said that some abilities are innate, and everyone possesses them; the only difference lies in the degree of talent and whether one chooses to use them.

"Um, maybe he misspoke," Liu Haocun said, looking at Shen Juan as if seeking his help.

But Shen Juan refused to meet her gaze.

He simply looked down at his phone and continued chatting in the Ran Dong group, indicating that he did not want to participate in the discussion.

At least for now, Liu Haocun, who hasn't even entered the fishpond, naturally can't mess with Wang Chuan, who has already infiltrated the core circle.

So it's already good that Shen Juan doesn't help Wang Churan, how could he possibly help an outsider to deal with his own little wife?

This further intensified Liu Haocun's emo state.

how come?
How could it become like this?
If it were when the two of them were alone on set before, Shen Juan would never have treated him so perfunctorily and coldly!

It’s all because of this guy!
It's all Wang Churan's fault!
She ruined my plans!
She ruined my relationship with Juanjuan!

If it weren't for this woman, my relationship with Juanjuan would have been elevated after he finished his work outside and returned to the film set!
However, today was only the first meeting to gather intelligence, and it was not yet time for a decisive battle where people would tear off their masks and confront each other head-on.

So she just chuckled for a while, then turned and left the lounge, intending to go outside to calm her nearly out-of-control emotions and breathe in some fresh air free of the sour smell of romance.

As soon as he opened the door, he bumped into Yue Yunpeng, who was sitting there smoking and spacing out.

When Yue Yunpeng heard the noise, he turned around and saw that it was Liu Haocun. He quickly extinguished the mosquito coil in his hand, showing good manners by not letting the young girl inhale his secondhand smoke.

"Haocun, are you in a bad mood today? What happened? If there's anything I can do to help, just come to your uncle! Although I'm not a woman, as someone who's been through it all, I have some experience to share."

This left Liu Haocun speechless.

Am I laughing?

How did he know I was in a bad mood at a glance?
Is he good at reading people, or is my disguise just too bad?
Could it be that Juanjuan and that woman also figured it out?

"I'm fine, Brother Yueyue. I'm just tired from filming all day. I'll be fine after a rest." After saying that, Liu Haocun suddenly had a bright idea. She thought that although she couldn't handle it, she might be able to use someone else to cause trouble and make that woman less presumptuous on her turf!
Then his smile became even brighter, and he continued, "I've prepared some snacks in the lounge, Brother Yue, you can try them, they taste really good!"

"Thank you, Haocun, but no need. Don't let my weight fool you, I rarely eat snacks," Yue Yunpeng said with a smile, politely declining.

Liu Haocun knew that snacks weren't enough to attract him, so he added with a smile, "Juanjuan is in there too!"

"I'd like to try this snack that even Teacher Shen Juan thinks is delicious, and see what it tastes like."

In fact, in principle, Yue Yunpeng was just a paid actor who would come and film for half a month and then leave. He wasn't a main supporting actor like Gao Yalin or Zhu Yuanyuan who stayed from beginning to end, so he had no obligation to serve the two main characters. However, he still voluntarily became a sycophant and tried to please Shen Juan and Liu Haocun.

The reason is also very simple.

Because both the male lead, Shen Juan, and the female lead, Liu Haocun, have reasons why he dares not offend them and needs to treat them well.

The former needs no further explanation.

The leading man of our time, who has received endorsement and recognition from above.

Although he did not build his own massive capital empire in the Chinese entertainment industry, no force dared to offend him.

After all, his Alovers, who always talked about loyalty and could easily deliver six blows in a second, were no pushovers.

The latter is a newly minted "Zhang Yimou Girl".

Moreover, it seems she's the most favored one in recent years; the film and television resources that the Imperial Advisor has been showering on her are simply explosive!
Therefore, as a cross-over crosstalk performer who wants to make a name for himself in the acting industry, Yue Yunpeng is very eager to get along well with the two of them in order to obtain more high-quality film and television resources. Even just playing a supporting role in a big production to make some new connections would be the best thing ever!
Xiao Yueyue knocked on the door of the lounge and was about to greet Shen Juan when he found a pretty girl sitting next to Shen Juan. With his excellent memory, he began frantically searching his memory, but unfortunately, he hadn't been surfing the internet enough and hadn't paid much attention to the recent hit show "Sister-in-Law 202".

However, he now had a general idea of ​​why Liu Haocun was in a bad mood after coming out of the lounge.

It's nothing more than youthful infatuation and jealousy, and this very pretty little sister might be one of the reasons.

"Who is this"

After politely greeting Shen Juan, Yue Yunpeng, who was very well-mannered, looked at the girl next to him.

"Hello, Teacher Yueyue, I am Wang Churan!" Wang Churan stood up and introduced herself in a generous and appropriate manner.

"Ah, it's Chu Ran! What a nice name! You must be Juan Juan's friend. Are you here to visit him on set today?"

Before Wang Churan could speak, Shen Juan gave her a concise and powerful answer:

"She's my girlfriend."

This made the corners of her mouth involuntarily turn up high. She felt a little shy, but mostly happy and sweet.

She used to feel most secure when Shen Juan was willing to share everything with her.

But now, her thinking has changed.

Revealing my girlfriend's identity to a complete stranger I'm meeting for the first time is the best way to make her feel safe!
Just then, she was peeling an orange, so she naturally picked out the pulp and handed it to Shen Juan.

Shen Juan simply took it and put it in his mouth.

There were no extra movements or expressions.

Yue Yunpeng saw all of this.

He believes that the simpler the actions and the more casual the atmosphere, the closer the relationship between the two people is.

So at least in his opinion, Shen Juan's words were not an exaggeration at all; they were indeed no different from ordinary couples.

The only thing that surprised him, or rather, impressed and envied him, was...
Does this guy have a lot of girlfriends on the surface?

Yue Yunpeng thought to himself, feeling that it wouldn't be easy for Liu Haocun to defeat his opponent.

Just then, the door to the lounge suddenly opened, and Liu Haocun, who had been missing for five minutes, walked in carrying a bag of cookies.

"The cookies I made myself last night!"

"You should all try some!"

Having adjusted his mindset, Liu Haocun gave each of Yue Yunpeng and Wang Churan a small bag, then came to Shen Juan's side with a smile and sat on his other side, becoming his left and right protectors with Wang Churan sandwiching Shen Juan in the middle.

After sitting down, Liu Haocun first took out a cookie from the bag and put it in his mouth. He squinted his eyes slightly because he found it so delicious.

Then, with a smile, he picked up the second piece and, under Wang Churan's watchful gaze, handed it directly to Shen Juan's mouth.

Although Shen Juan wasn't used to her sudden intimacy, just like when he took the orange Wang Churan offered him earlier, he simply tilted his head slightly and put the cookie Liu Haocun fed him into his mouth, his eyes never leaving the screen of his phone where he was typing a WeChat message to a friend. I knew it!

I knew this guy wouldn't give up so easily!

I can tell at a glance that you are not human!

Wang Churan rolled her eyes in exasperation, which, combined with her chewing posture, made her look especially adorable.

Yue Yunpeng's brain also crashed.

Where did you come from? Is this still in China?

Hey buddy, are you really planning to sleep with me in bed?

I'm afraid I've accidentally wandered into a Qing Dynasty drama while I'm in Hengdian.

So what is my role in the Qing Dynasty drama group?
Was he a eunuch used as a tool by the imperial concubine to relay messages?

So you called me to the lounge just so I could buy you time to go home and get your gear, right?
Having fully realized his role as a "third wheel" and how he was being used to kill someone else, Yue Yunpeng decided to give up thinking about it. He also felt that he was no longer suitable to stay in this lounge, so he got up, said goodbye to everyone, and made a quick escape to the bathroom, leaving the eerie room that made him feel uncomfortable without looking back.

"Are you all standing so close to each other to keep an eye on me while I chat with other people? Do you want to move closer?"

After the outsiders left, Shen Juan couldn't help but roll his eyes, finally able to express his speechlessness.

"Can we really get a little closer?"

Liu Haocun immediately came over, looking dazed, and quickly glanced at the phone screen. The WeChat contact name seemed to be...
Roast goose?

What kind of weird ID is this?

Is this a name that a human being should have?

etc.
Could it be
Juanjuan was touched by the cookies I made myself, so I'm thinking of ordering two roast geese to be sent over as an extra treat for everyone.
That's wonderful!

It was worth all the time and effort I spent making this small bag of cookies!

As expected, hard work always pays off!

Shen Juan was speechless at her feigned innocence and cuteness, and it was almost time for the night shoot to start.

So he got up and left the lounge.

Liu Haocun and Wang Churan were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

Looking at each other speechless.

An eerie silence fell over the lounge.

Since Shen Juan wasn't there, Wang Churan felt there was no need for her to pretend anymore. So she looked at Liu Haocun with the eyes of someone looking at scum, trying to show her authority and aggression so that this womanizer who liked to lie about his age and whose smile looked like that of a Down syndrome patient would back down.

I've always been a bad person.

Only those who love me will find me cute.

Liu Haocun continued to look at Wang Churan with that innocent, naive expression for a while, then got up and left.

They left no words behind.

Because she didn't feel the need to communicate with her. One was a fry who willingly fell in love and brought trouble upon herself, while the other was a secret investigator who was determined to uncover the truth and was a hidden and great person. Their perspectives were completely different, and they were not on the same path at all!

Although she did have some doubts that needed to be answered.

For example, she didn't understand why she felt so upset after seeing Wang Churan and Shen Juan being affectionate.

I'm just a little black guy!

Even if you change your opinion of him after getting to know him personally, and realize that many of the negative rumors about him are nonsense.

At best, they've only gone from haters to neutral observers; they're still a long way from being true fans.

"Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time," Liu Haocun convinced himself, gradually calming down.

Little Red Flower has at least one month left before filming wraps up.

There is still so much time to find the answer.

There's absolutely no need for her to be in a hurry.

Time passes day by day.

The filming of "Little Red Flower" is progressing little by little.

Liu Haocun continued his search for the answer to the question.

On April 23, Weibo's trending topics suddenly exploded.

Zhou Yangqing published a long article publicly accusing her boyfriend Luo Zhixiang and breaking up with him. In the article, she revealed that Luo Zhixiang had cheated on her multiple times during their relationship, including maintaining inappropriate relationships with multiple people and even engaging in promiscuous behavior such as "group sex".

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Many netizens, including celebrities, joined in the gossip.

Laurinda Ho, Li Yutong, and others have voiced their support for Grace Chow.

Chen Xuedong angrily confronted netizens who spoke up for Luo Zhixiang.

Zhang Yuqi posted a video of herself cutting up an octopus, with the caption: "Too many legs make it easy to split, so it should be cut off."

Zheng Yuxun even offered that classic quote: "I feel sorry for your nine years; your words still show my love for him."

But for some reason, as the argument raged on, public opinion quietly shifted to Shen Juan, who was filming a movie in Qingdao.

First, Shen Juan, a self-proclaimed "amusing person," took it personally and went to the comment section of Zhang Yuqi, Chen Xuedong, and others' Weibo accounts to express his opinion:

What did Shen Juan do to you? Is it really necessary to insult him like that?

What do you mean? Are you indirectly attacking Shen Juan?

[Dare to question Alex, the pride of China? I think you're asking for trouble! That'll be your fate!]

Please show some respect to our Chinese gentlemen!

He didn't cheat, nor did he have a chaotic personal life; he simply wanted to give every girl who liked him a home.

This scared the older fans half to death, so they quickly revised their posts to clarify that they were targeting Luo Zhixiang, not anyone else, for fear of attracting irrational fans who would attack them!

After all, the fates of people like Chris Jolin are truly terrifying; the former has been socially bankrupt globally, and the latter has been banned in mainland China!

Neither outcome is an acceptable one for them.

Then, marketing accounts dug up a collection of Shen Juan's recent scandals, claiming that he and Tian Xiwei used the same temporary tattoos to show their affection during last week's charity live stream on "Longing for Life." They also claimed that a passerby photographed Wang Churan and a man resembling Shen Juan filming a vlog in Zibo in March, and that resourceful netizens uncovered the alternate accounts of some contestants in the limited-time event "Battle of the Forbidden City" (almost obviously Tian Xiwei, Cheng Xiao, Zhou Ye, Wang Churan, and Hu Lianxin, as well as Ivy Bao Lujia and Wang Dali Li Wanda, who were easily spotted). This, along with the scandals exposed through April Fool's Day pranks, further fueled the rumors.
Although it couldn't trend on Weibo due to traffic restrictions, and the platform also blocked many slightly sensitive keywords.

However, since it was news related to the World's No. 1, it quickly sparked a considerable amount of discussion.

HAKUNA MATATA is a Swahili word meaning carefree; it's also a line from The Lion King.

[Yay! Spring is real! Seeing my favorite couple's relationship so stable makes me super happy!!! It's true that couples who meet from humble beginnings and weather the storms together are the ones who last! To be honest, although Juanjuan has a rich romantic history, I feel like he's really a bit love-struck, haha! Of course, Tianjie is also wonderful! I hope they have a long and happy marriage!]

[Facts have proven that Sister Tian was right. She won over Shen Juan, endured a year of online harassment, and is now happy for life! Sister Tian has a truly sharp eye!]

This couple is so radiant that even just standing together exudes sweetness. They fell in love when they were young and just starting out in the industry, and their relationship remains so stable after all this time. They are tolerant, understanding, respectful, and supportive of each other—this is probably the most beautiful form of love!

[I still prefer Fireworks Girl's side; the atmosphere between them is so sweet! I really want to see their vlog!!! (Whispering: Actually, I started shipping this couple back last year during the Guerlain One-Day Boyfriend craze. Is this something I can say? Hopefully, Spring Fans won't be angry with me?)]

(Wang Chuan made it to the trending topics twice because of fireworks, once in Paris and once in Sydney, hence the nickname)

[Just saw photos of Bao Lujia and Li Wanda, they are indeed beautiful, no wonder they were signed by Starlink. But one is 17 and the other is 16, is this really befitting of Wajue? Ordinary girls in high school are no longer enough for him, underage girls in high school have officially entered the battlefield! "Sister-in-Law 202" is getting exciting, hahaha!]

I still don't quite understand why so many beautiful girls would willingly be scumbags like Shen Juan.

Forget about them, I'd be willing to marry Shen Juan myself! If he's not willing, I'll marry him.

[Little Pig must be really confused right now. Both of them cheated on their partners and were involved in scandals, so why did he get hammered and criticized so badly, while Shen Juan's reputation is so good?]

[Wajuan: We are different; everyone has different circumstances.]

[I have a feeling Sister Tian is likely to go berserk tonight. Little haters and trolls, be careful not to accidentally walk into her trap.]

[Sister Tian: I wasn't actually infatuated with Shen Juan at all. I was actually holding back, playing a game with him. I pretended to be head over heels for him, drooling over him, obsessed with him, and going crazy for him, but it was all part of the plan. Everything was going according to plan. Please stop talking. I have my own plans. Of course I know Shen Juan is trying to hook me, but taking the bait is also part of my plan. Don't bother me anymore; I know what I'm doing.]

Regarding the sudden turn of events and the controversy surrounding her, Sister Tian, ​​one of the parties involved, finally responded late on the 23rd via her alternate account, bringing a satisfactory conclusion to the discussion surrounding Shen Juan's scandal stemming from Luo Zhixiang's cheating incident.

Tian Tian, ​​not Huang Chengzi: [Some people are really boring. What's wrong with me pretending to be cute? What's wrong with me pretending to be sarcastic? What's wrong with me pretending to be magnanimous? Even if my sarcasticness is fake, my cuteness is fake, my magnanimity is fake, so what? Anyway, no matter what I do, he'll still think I'm cute! It doesn't matter if I'm scheming, it doesn't matter if my cuteness is all an act, he'll just assume it's just me being affectionate! You have absolutely no idea how good our relationship is! You have absolutely no idea how much I like him! I just love him so much!]

Sister Tian's point of view is very clear, and her attitude is very simple.

That means they're not going to put on an act anymore; they're going to lay their cards on the table.

I don't care about this or that.
Anyway, I absolutely love it!
