Huayu Entertainment: It was the young actress who took the initiative.

Chapter 325 Chen Yao's Jealousy

Chen Yao had just finished work and returned to the hotel, and she sank into the sofa, not wanting to move.

I filmed outdoor scenes all day today, and I'm completely exhausted.

She was just thinking of taking a shower and going to bed when she suddenly remembered that today was the weekly update time for "Let's Go Now".

She paused for a moment, then sat up straight.

It's the episode about XJ's wedding.

She naturally knew about this episode, after all, there had been a flood of preview clips and discussions online recently.

She opened the app, which had just been updated a few minutes earlier. As soon as she clicked on it, she was greeted by a dense barrage of comments from people checking in.

This shows just how popular this episode was.

The scene begins with the current group members gathering.

Director Wang Hailong stood in the center of the venue, with a wide open grassland and distant mountain ranges behind him.

He held a megaphone, his smile conveying a sense of "this is going to be interesting."

"Today we're going to experience an XJ wedding."

"The bride is naturally our guest, teacher Reba, but the groom needs to be selected through a dance competition."

Whoever dances the best will be the groom today.

The screen was flooded with comments the moment he finished speaking.

Chen Yao watched the words fly by and couldn't help but smile.

"What's the point of comparing them? Dilraba and Chen Mo have a new drama airing, they're definitely a couple!"

"Look at Dilraba's pathetic expression, she looked so anxious when she heard about the PK (competition)!"

The camera cuts to Dilraba's face; she is standing in the live performance group.

When she heard the words "dance PK", her lips pursed slightly.

Then she blinked her eyes quickly twice, and her anxious yet restrained expression was indeed quite adorable.

Wang Anyu was the first to rush to the center of the field.

"I'll go first!"

His movements were wide-ranging and his sense of rhythm was good, but the feeling of "I'm trying my best to dance" was written all over his body.

The comments section erupted in laughter, filling the screen with a dense, overwhelming volume.

"You're still the best general!"

"Who can make me laugh without you?"

Chen Yao looked at Wang Anyu's extremely serious face and laughed out loud.

Wang Anyu does have a natural sense of humor, though he himself doesn't find it funny.

But when others see him seriously doing things he's not very good at, they can't help but laugh.

Hu Xianxu was the second to go on stage.

He had a "I'm trying my best to perform" expression on his face while dancing, and he would occasionally glance at the camera.

The live chat was filled with comments like, "Hu Xianxu, tone it down a bit."

"What an eye-catching bag!"

When Lin Yi was the third to perform, the tone of the comments section completely changed.

His movements can be described as "humans taming their limbs".

The comments section erupted with information: "As everyone knows, Lin Yi graduated with a degree in ballroom dancing—he's a true professional dancer!"

"It seems the child has become sensible and finally understands human nature."

"Hahaha, after being ridiculed by everyone for being both clumsy and hardworking all season, I've finally figured it out."

Chen Yao laughed out loud when she saw this comment.

Lin Yi was indeed teased by everyone for being both clumsy and diligent in "Let's Go Now".

This time, she was quite sensible and didn't try to steal the spotlight.

Then came Shen Teng and Jia Bin.

When Shen Teng walked to the center of the venue, he cleared his throat and said to the camera, "I'm already this old, and you still want me to dance? But to be the groom, I'm going all out."

He started moving to the music, his movements a little clumsy yet earnest.

Jia Bin watched from the side, shaking his head with laughter, and then went up and danced a bit himself.

His movements were slightly more coordinated than Shen Teng's, but it was still quite a struggle.

In the end, only Chen Mo remained.

When Chen Yao saw him stand up, she unconsciously put down the phone she was holding.

She had seen Chen Mo dance many times at rehearsals, but those were repetitive training sessions in the rehearsal hall and on stage, completely different from this impromptu, game-like occasion.

She wanted to see how he would perform if he jumped without preparation.

Music started playing randomly; it was a Xinjiang folk song with a strong rhythm.

The sounds of the hand drum and the dombra intertwine, carrying a strong Western Region flavor.

Chen Mo stood in the center of the field and listened to the two beats of the intro before starting to move.

His movements gradually transitioned from relaxed to fluid, without any deliberate effort, as if he were being naturally guided by the music.

The shrugs of the shoulders carry a relaxed feeling unique to Xinjiang dance, and the extension and retraction of the arms are rhythmically precise, with each step landing on the very bone of the beat.

During the interlude, he did several consecutive spins, his arms drawing smooth arcs in the air, his clothes billowing up and falling down with each spin.

The intensity, rhythm, and posture were all just right.

There was no trace of deliberate showing off, but every detail revealed a solid foundation.

Chen Yao looked at the screen, a feeling she couldn't quite describe rising in her heart.

She had seen him meticulously refining his movements during rehearsals.

But on the television screen, he danced so effortlessly, as if these skills were ingrained in his bones and he could do them without any effort.

Chen Mo is truly incredibly versatile.

The live chat exploded at that moment.

"Holy crap, is Chen Mo's dancing that amazing?"

"He danced with Sister Meng at the New Year's Eve concert before~ and he danced very well at his recent concerts too."

"Those are all rehearsed, but to dance this impromptu like this is really impressive! You're really skilled!"

"Wang Anyu and Lin Yi's efforts seem so pitiful compared to Chen Mo's, hahaha~"

Director Wang Hailong stood in the center of the venue and announced with a smile, "Okay, then the groom is confirmed to be Mr. Chen Mo."

The scene then shifts to Chen Mo and Dilraba walking side by side in a cattle and sheep bazaar.

The market was bustling and crowded in the early morning, with stalls filled with all kinds of fresh ingredients and handicrafts, and the air was filled with the aroma of spices and roasted naan.

Reba followed beside him, carrying a small bag of dried fruit she had just bought. She would occasionally turn her head to look at him with a smile on her lips.

The comments section was filled with exclamations: "Isn't this just like a newlywed couple?"

"The way Dilraba looks at Chen Mo, I'm totally shipping them!"

Chen Yao felt a pang of sadness as she watched the two people walking side by side on the screen.

She picked up the water glass beside her, took a sip, trying to suppress the sourness, and continued reading.

The scene shifts to nighttime.

Chen Mo looked much more formal in his suit than during the day.

The local friends, dressed in traditional costumes and holding musical instruments, sang and played.

Chen Mo, Shen Teng, Wang Anyu, and Hu Xianxu moved along the corridor toward the bride's room.

The singing echoed in the corridor, carrying the unique melodiousness and passion of Xinjiang folk songs.

Chen Mo walked in the middle of the group, occasionally turning his head to say a few words to Wang Anyu next to him, his expression very relaxed.

They had to stuff a lot of red envelopes into his hands before they could get to the bride's room.

Holding a pair of corsages, Zhang Ruonan walked up to Chen Mo and Dilraba with a smile, first pinning one on Chen Mo's corsage, and then pinning one on Dilraba's.

When she was talking to Reba, she leaned over and whispered something, and the tips of Reba's ears instantly turned red.

Comments in the live chat: "What did Zhang Ruonan say?! I want to hear it too!"

"Ruonan, did you say anything inappropriate to Reba?!"

"Look how red Dilraba's ears are, I can roughly guess what she said, hahaha."

Then Reba and Chen Mo led the way to the banquet hall.

Singing and dancing all the way, Chen Mo's steps were very steady, and Reba walked beside him. The two of them unconsciously adjusted their steps to the same rhythm.

The banquet hall door was pushed open, and Chen Mo and Reba walked in side by side.

Dilraba was still holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand, and Chen Mo walked beside her. Their shadows were elongated by the lamplight and overlapped on the ground.

The live chat exploded with comments: "They're such a perfect match!"

"Leopard Cat, I'm out!"

"I heard there's a wedding scene in 'You Are My Glory,' I'm really looking forward to it!"

The banquet hall was filled with guests invited by the program team, and the long table was decorated with various local delicacies and fruits from XJ.

Chen Mo and Reba walked to the front of the stage, with the emcee standing beside them, his voice filled with laughter: "Please, bride and groom, take each other's hands and walk to your dear friends."

Chen Mo glanced at Reba, then reached out his hand.

Dilraba placed her hand in his palm, and their fingers intertwined.

The two held hands and took steps forward one by one.

The guests in the audience followed them, and some whispered, "They're such a perfect match."

After standing in front of the stage, Shen Teng and Jia Bin walked up to them.

The two people held prepared scarves and other decorations, hanging them on the newlyweds one by one with gentle and solemn movements.

When Jia Bin was adjusting Chen Mo's scarf, his fingers lingered on Chen Mo's shoulder for a moment longer.

After finishing, Jia Bin first smiled at Reba, then cleared his throat, his voice filled with emotion: "To be honest, seeing you walk over just now, I really felt a little reluctant to let you go."

Dilraba chuckled and gave him a light hug: "Thank you, Brother Jia Bin."

Shen Teng stood to the side, waiting for Reba to let go of Jia Bin before he spoke up: "Alright, as the groom's father, I should also say a few words."

He cleared his throat, looked at Chen Mo, and teased with a smile, "Chen Mo, you'd better treat Reba well from now on."

Chen Mo looked at him and chuckled, "I know."

Comments on the live stream: "They've built up the atmosphere to this point, shouldn't they just go ahead and do it?"

"I'm dying of laughter at Shen Teng's fatherly mentality~"

"Jia Bin's reluctant expression was so real~"

"It feels like Shen Teng and Jia Bin really treat Dilraba like a daughter~"

Chen Mo glanced down at the scarf on his shoulder, then looked up at Dilraba in front of him.

Zhang Ruonan handed over a box containing a ring, which Chen Mo took and opened.

Inside, of course, was that peacock feather ring.

Without hesitation, he knelt down on one knee.

The moment his knees touched the ground, the banquet hall fell silent.

He picked up the ring and lifted Reba's left hand.

Her fingers trembled slightly, but quickly regained their balance.

Chen Mo's movements were very light and slow, as if he were handling something extremely precious, as he solemnly slipped the ring onto her ring finger.

Dilraba looked down at the ring on her finger, her eyelashes trembling.

When she looked up, there was a very faint glimmer of water in her eyes, but the smile on her lips was bright and radiant.

The host stood to the side, just about to move on to the next step of the process.

"Give me a kiss! Give me a kiss!"

The guests in the audience suddenly started shouting, and the shouts grew louder and louder.

Everyone clapped their hands, their faces displaying a mixture of excitement and blessings.

Chen Mo stood up and reached out to lift the white veil off Reba's head.

The moment the white veil slipped from his fingertips, it floated lightly down her shoulder.

Their eyes met, and Dilraba's eyes shone as if they were filled with stars.

Chen Mo raised his other hand and gently covered their lips.

From the audience and the camera's perspective, all you could see was the two faces very close together, with Chen Mo's hand blocking the view.

Dilraba's eyelashes trembled slightly above his palm, then her eyes curved into a smile.

The comments section went completely wild at that moment.

"Did they kiss or not?!"

"We can't see it from this angle! Director, you did this on purpose, didn't you!"

"Chen Mo, take your hand away! We're not strangers!"

"Whether they're actually kissing or not, I'm totally shipping this scene."

"Dilraba's eyes were so sweet, Chen Mo, what have you done to deserve that?"

When Chen Yao saw this, she turned off the video.

She leaned back on the sofa and closed her eyes.

The image from just now still lingered in my mind.

The expression on Chen Mo's face as he knelt on one knee and slipped the ring onto Dilraba's finger.

That expression was so serious, so serious, that it gently touched a part of her heart.

She remembered how Chen Mo comforted Zhang Yue at the hot pot restaurant that day.

That composure and clarity, that ability to make people unconsciously relax.

She remembered when he sang on stage, the lights shining on him, making him seem to glow.

She remembered the gentle smile he gave her as he walked towards her at the entrance of the Bird's Nest that day.

She opened her eyes, picked up her phone, opened Zhang Yue's WeChat chat, and typed: "Did you watch the episode about XJ's wedding?"

Zhang Yue replied quickly: "I saw it! Dilraba is so beautiful! Chen Mo looks so handsome in a suit! Have you seen it? What do you think?"

Chen Yao looked at the line of text, typed and deleted it several times, and finally only replied with a single sentence: "Yeah, I just watched it. It's really good."

Zhang Yue could almost sense Chen Yao's inner turmoil through the screen, so she sent a voice message: "Yao Yao, you're not jealous, are you? Oh dear~ this is a promotional event for the drama~"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yao forced a smile, thinking to herself:

Oh dear, I'm not even in a position to be jealous~

The episode featuring XJ's wedding went viral within two hours of airing, igniting a frenzy across the internet.

Six of the top ten trending topics were related to this episode.

"Chen Mo Reba XJ Wedding" topped the list, followed by a deep red "Explosive" sign.

Once you click on it, the screen is filled with screenshots and video clips of the wedding ceremony.

From Chen Mo kneeling on one knee to the two kissing with their hands covering their lips, every frame was repeatedly forwarded and discussed.

"This wedding was so special! When Chen Mo and Dilraba stood together, I completely forgot I was there to promote a variety show!"

"I could watch the way he put the ring on her finger a million times, it was so solemn~"

"Chen Mo, you really know how to drive the audience crazy with that 'covering lips' move~"

"There's definitely something in Dilraba's eyes; I don't believe it's just for the variety show."
