After watching, Little Strawberry was in a daze for a moment.

An inexplicable feeling of suffocation surged within her. She seemed to see a couple of lovers separated by circumstances, both longing to meet again in the future, but unable to be buried together even after death.

She pulled the progress bar back and watched again.

She had just seen their ending, but when she went back and watched it again, she felt as if she were in another world.

What does the young man think when he can’t wait for the person?

Did the young man have any regrets when the youth couldn’t return?

Little Strawberry’s eyes were a little red as she opened the comment area.

The number of comments soared rapidly, already reaching several thousand. The critics Little Strawberry imagined did not come, and the audience who watched the clips were all expressing their frustration.

—What the hell, did you guys edit a BE (bad ending) in a Love variety show? Are you poisonous or what?

—Help me, I’m really devastated this time, but why aren’t they together?

—The damn production team needs to release the follow-up, I want to see a happy ending! HE (happy ending)!

—Is this even reasonable? Is this video telling me that they won’t be together even in death, based on their temperament?

—I’m rebelling, they must be together! It’s making me furious!

Little Strawberry read the comments and fell silent.

Oh right.

Didn’t she watch the official announcement video of Love variety show? Why did she end up watching a BE?

Little Strawberry quickly joined the condemnation army.

As she typed on the keyboard, an idea emerged in her mind: Why don’t I edit one myself? She hadn’t realized that this couple could also be enjoyed, and it would be so satisfying to see them together!

She had edited so many CP videos before, but she had never thought about this couple.

Little Strawberry instantly didn’t want to scold the production team anymore. Since there was no content, she would create it herself!

……

Lin Yan didn’t know that the CP between him and Lu Jin would instantly become popular because of a BE video.

He lay on the bed and finished the second half of “It’s Warm Under the Bed.”

The ending was that the only survivor who escaped death was lying on the bed, hearing the sound of the bed creaking twice.

Lin Yan felt that the creaking sound was somewhat three-dimensional.

He took off his headphones and realized that someone was knocking on the door.

The person who knocked on the door was not very serious, and began to sing when he knocked: “Little rabbit, be good——”

Lin Yan had just opened the door when he heard the word rabbit, and he subconsciously closed it again.

Lu Jin quickly stretched out his hand to hold the door, “So ruthless.”

Lin Yan failed to close the door, allowing the other party to push the door open again: “What are you doing here?”

Lu Jin took out a bag of fruit carrots: “Send warmth.”

Lin Yan said patiently, “I didn’t mean that.”

Lu Jin reacted, “Oh,” and was about to say something when the door of the neighboring room opened.

It was Qi Wen.

Qi Wen subconsciously took two steps toward them, then awkwardly stopped, “Teacher Lu, are you also looking for Teacher Lin?”

The use of the word “also” was appropriate.

Lu Jin smiled lightly: “I’m sorry, but the rest of his time belongs to me.”

Lin Yan glanced at him but did not refute.

He didn’t even want to deal with Qi Wen.

Qi Wen coughed and turned towards Zhou Xianyin’s room, knocking on the door and entering.

As soon as Qi Wen left, Lu Jin asked, “Are we going to talk outside? I don’t think it’s very appropriate here.”

Lin Yan stepped back a few steps to let him in.

Lu Jin looked around, seeing that the room was empty and complimented, “You’ve cleaned up nicely.”

Lin Yan glanced at the closet filled with stuff and accepted the compliment without changing his expression, “Hmm.”

Lu Jin didn’t pay much attention either. He dragged a chair and sat down, taking the initiative to say, “Please have a seat.”

Lin Yan: “…”

Lu Jin opened the bag of carrots, “Want one?”

Lin Yan sat on the bed, if it wasn’t for the fact that what they were going to talk about was not suitable to be said loudly, he would have distanced himself from Lu Jin, “I don’t want to eat, put it away.”

Lu Jin flipped through the package, “That’s not right, you do like this brand, right?”

Lin Yan: “I don’t want to eat what’s in your hand.”

Lu Jin: “…”

Lin Yan looked at him and asked again: “Why are you here?”

Lu Jin laughed: “You really don’t know who I’m here for?”

Lin Yan was startled.

Lu Jin leaned in closer, his peach blossom eyes lost their smile, and he lowered his voice, “There’s a clause in our agreement that both parties must remain faithful, you haven’t forgotten, right?”

Lin Yan instinctively said, “I haven’t…”

Lu Jin sighed, “Yes, you haven’t, but when you joined the Love variety show, I feel the top of my head glowing, as the song goes, a green light…”

Lin Yan: “Alright, stop singing and put it away!”

The room fell silent for a moment.

Lin Yan didn’t expect Lu Jin to come here for this reason.

He explained: “I didn’t think about it that much, sorry. If that’s the reason, I can quit.”

Lu Jin: “That won’t work. Wouldn’t it mean that I drive you away? It’s okay if the target of affection is me. That’s a legitimate business. Although I’m sacrificing my purity, if you asked me I’ll cooperate with you.”

Lin Yan suddenly noticed something: “Our pairing…”

Lu Jin smiled slightly: “Of course, I’m using a connection to secure my spot. Fate should be in your own hands, how can you leave it to God’s will.”

Lin Yan said in disbelief, “Didn’t you choose your marriage partner based on luck?”

Lu Jin: “How could that be? I carefully selected.”

Lin Yan’s face was indifferent.

This was considered a careful selection?

On a certain day three years ago, Lin Yan was running around for drama productions.

He had auditioned for many production teams and on his way back, someone suddenly handed him a questionnaire, promising cash rewards for filling it out.

Lin Yan was short of money, so he stopped to answer the questionnaire.

Lin Yan can’t remember exactly what they asked, but he recalled that they were mostly about Lu Jin.

Lu Jin gave Lin Yan the impression that he was just a star far away in the sky.

Lin Yan was busy working hard and taking care of his seriously ill grandfather. Occasionally, when he saw movie posters featuring Lu Jin on the street, he would pause for a second, thinking that someday he would also have a movie released.

Lu Jin was a stranger to him.

He didn’t have the time to delve into the other person’s information. Lu Jin was more like a symbol to him.

Lin Yan thought so, so he also filled in the information truthfully.

He got a cash reward of 100 yuan and put the matter behind him.

A week later, Lu Jin appeared in front of him.

“I wanted to meet the person who sees me as a symbol. Out of all the questionnaires I sent out, yours was the most cold and distant, so I wanted to get to know you.”

Lin Yan didn’t react much.

He seemed stunned, and the only thought in his mind was: Is this person a bit narcissistic? He intentionally asked all those embarrassing questions.

But he didn’t expect that Lu Jin was here to propose marriage.

Lu Jin said, “I need a marriage partner, lasting five years. After five years, I will announce to my family that our relationship has broken down. During this time, you can make any requests to me, including resources and money. After the divorce, I will give you a substantial amount of property as compensation for these five years.”

Lin Yan took a while before asking, “Why me?”

Lu Jin replied, “Because you had the worst attitude toward me, which saved me a lot of trouble. I don’t want the marriage to involve emotional entanglements.”

Lin Yan didn’t hesitate for too long. He closed his eyes and said, “Alright, I need you to help me find the best doctor and cure my grandfather.”

This was the only request Lin Yan has made in the past three years.

Since Lu Jin didn’t want to get too involved with his marriage partner, Lin Yan naturally followed his will and stayed away from him, and it was best not to have any relationship at all.

On the contrary, Lu Jin regarded him as a friend and gave him some gifts during the holidays.

If it wasn’t for Lin Yan’s impromptu decision to participate in “Love Variety Show” this time, they wouldn’t have had much contact at all.

In just half a day, Lin Yan felt like they had exchanged more words than in the past three years.

“Snap—”

Lu Jin snapped his fingers: “Come back to your senses. Is it that easy for you to get lost in thought when facing me?”

Lin Yan said lightly, “Maybe you are not attractive to me.”

Lu Jin choked, “Every time I question my life choices, it’s because of you.”

Lu Jin didn’t stay for long.

After their conversation, Lin Yan didn’t consider changing partners anymore. However, he knew that achieving his goal of experiencing a romantic atmosphere would be difficult.

Just as he was thinking about this, Lin Yan’s phone vibrated.

He opened it and saw a message from Yang Shu.

[Yang Shu: I have bad news and good news, which one do you want to hear first]

[Lin Yan: Good news.]

[Yang Shu: You and Lu Jin have a lot of CP fans.]

What kind of good news was that?

Lin Yan waited for him to share the bad news.

[Yang Shu: The bad news is that the male lead of “Long Night” has been decided.]

[Lin Yan: Oh.]

[Yang Shu: Sweetheart, are you okay? In that case, do you still want to participate in the Love Variety Show?]

Lin Yan was not surprised.

It was impossible for the crew to wait for him forever.

“Long Night” was one of the recent scripts he had been approached for, and it was one he particularly liked. However, he didn’t pass the audition.

The problem was with the romantic scenes.

After watching the audition, the director said very seriously, “I feel like your performance in romantic scenes lacks something. Although you have emotion in your eyes, you don’t have it in your heart. How can you persuade the audience to believe in love if you don’t believe in it yourself?”

Before Lin Yan left, the director added: “The success of ‘Black River’ lies in the absence of emotional scenes.”

The director’s words were undeniably harsh.

Yang Shu was afraid Lin Yan would become angry, but Lin Yan just frowned as he thought about for a moment, and left without saying anything.

Lin Yan joined the love variety show this time to experience the atmosphere of being in a romantic relationship.

Yang Shu had advised him that on-screen CP (couple pairing) was just for show and not real.

Lin Yan said, “I know, but I want to try.”

Yang Shu wanted to say more, but Lin Yan interrupted him, saying, “I don’t allow myself to have any shortcomings in acting.”

Yang Shu: “…”

Okay, you’re domineering, and you have the final say.

[Lin Yan: I’ll participate, don’t worry about me.]

[Yang Shu: Okay then, I’ll send you some recipes. Start learning, you might have to cook later.]

While waiting for Yang Shu to send out the recipe, Lin Yan remembered the CP fans he mentioned.

What kind of CP fans could he have with Lu Jin?

He didn’t feel they had any intimate interactions.

Lin Yan decided to open Weibo.

At a glance, he saw the hashtag #LuJinLinYanOfficialAnnouncementVideo trending in the first place.

He clicked to see and noticed that the comments had exceeded twenty thousand and were still increasing.

He casually clicked on the video and watched it, feeling confused.

Was he and Lu Jin fated to be a married couple?

Even participating in a love variety show can create a “BE”?

How can they have CP fans with this? What are they on?

Lin Yan took a look at the real-time trending page.

The real-time trending page was buzzing with activity.

—Among the three pairs, this pair is the best. Do you understand BE aesthetics? Don’t you understand the beauty of unrequited love?

—The show’s production team is doing a reverse operation. I don’t believe it, but you all told me not to ship them, so now I ship them! Lu Jin doesn’t tease anyone else, but he teases Lin Yan. Lin Yan always has a cold face, but he indulges Lu Jin so much. Isn’t this sweet?

—Damn, I wasn’t planning to ship them, but after watching the video, it’s quite appealing. @LuJin @LinYan, are you open for business?

Lin Yan: “…”

It can be seen that modern netizens were very rebellious.

But it didn’t end there.

Just five minutes later, a very familiar person appeared in the comments section of the video.

Lu Jin: What about the next episode? I know you guys have it 🙂 [Shaking it up gif]

The author has something to say:

The novel is a bit exaggerated, don’t be more realistic!

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
