Chapter 67: Headline Article

It all started with the broadcast of the show we were on together last night. Lin Qin’s initial performance in front of the cara was just too adorable—his nervousness practically spilled off the screen.

The audience already knew Lin Qin had a soft personality, but after watching the show, they found out he wasn’t just soft—he was downright adorable. He was so adorably soft that people wanted to reach out to pinch his cheeks, clamoring for the production team to stop bullying Lin Qin.

Because of this, career fans, girlfriend fans, and even fans with other random attributes all ended up being converted into "mom fans."

Then, one fan referred to Lin Qin as "my little cub" on Weibo, sparking a wave of comnts as fans rushed to call Lin Qin "my little cub." The comnt section surpassed twenty thousand in one night.

And thus, the joke of Lin Qin gaining twenty thousand "mom fans" across the internet was born.

When Lin Qin learned about the situation from Chu Hong, he was just as surprised.

He didn’t hide his thoughts and directly said to Chu Hong, "I thought my initial performance would drive people away." After all, he had genuinely seed unfit for reality TV at the start. Facing the caras, he was overly tense, his whole deanor rigid.

At the ti, Lin Qin thought that no one would like his stiff and dull performance on the reality show.

"Looks are justice," Chu Hong bluntly revealed the truth. If soone with less attractive features had appeared on the show with Lin Qin’s initial behavior, they would’ve been trashed badly. But Lin Qin’s good looks saved him. With his appearance, people automatically watch him through filters, to the point where even sneezing could make soone swoon, calling it handso, handso!

Moreover, Lin Qin isn’t so superficial pretty boy relying solely on his face, nor is he soone without any talent.

While Lin Qin might’ve initially appeared stiff and overly nervous, in the later segnt involving ho decoration, his professionalism and aesthetics amazed the audience.

A blend of good looks and capability—who wouldn’t love that? And those initial flaws only made people feel more protective of him, which explains why Lin Qin suddenly gained so many mom fans.

An outstanding person will eventually be recognized, let alone soone as excessively outstanding as Lin Qin.

Faced with Chu Hong’s praise, Lin Qin responded bashfully, "I really didn’t expect so many people to like ." These were Lin Qin’s heartfelt words.

His initial reason for entering the industry was rely to get closer to ng Chao. Falling in love with the industry was never in Lin Qin’s plans, so this was a delightful surprise for him. The next pleasant surprise was gaining so many people who adored him. Sotis, Lin Qin would go online to read the comnts—seeing people defend him, affirm him, even flood the screen with nonsensical "ahhh" and illiterate-style confessions, accompanied by all sorts of exaggerated praise, would leave Lin Qin feeling warm inside.

Of course, the greatest joy still ca from ng Chao.

Lin Qin’s thoughts were once limited to just being closer to ng Chao, not even daring to entertain the idea of becoming friends. Simply being near ng Chao, secretly watching him from a distance, satisfied Lin Qin.

Now, not only could he stand beside ng Chao, but he had also received ng Chao’s love. Lin Qin felt like his life was complete.

Lost in thought, Lin Qin saw ng Chao walking toward him, holding a cup of coffee.

Lin Qin’s gaze imdiately locked onto ng Chao, staring at him without blinking, his eyes sparkling like stars, filled with nothing but ng Chao.

Watching Lin Qin’s gaze, Chu Hong shivered slightly and shifted away. She refused to partake in this public display of affection.

ng Chao handed the coffee to Lin Qin, then ruffled Lin Qin’s hair after he took it. "It’s about ti to board the plane," he said.

"Okay." Lin Qin took a sip of the coffee and discovered it was sweetened to exactly his preference, making his heart even sweeter. Despite knowing ng Chao for just over a month, he already rembered all of Lin Qin’s habits—proof that Lin Qin held an important place in ng Chao’s heart.

Lin Qin smiled brightly, his face full of happiness.

If not for being in a crowded airport, ng Chao would’ve bent down to kiss Lin Qin right then and there. This little "Lin Xiaotu" was just too tempting.

Chu Hong subtly scooted further away, again rejecting the outpouring of affection directed her way.

Soon, the boarding announcent echoed through the terminal, and the group headed toward the gate, en route to the city where "Dark Battle" was being fild.

Both Lin Qin and ng Chao were incredibly dedicated professionals. Once they joined the crew, they essentially vanished from the public eye—no Weibo updates, no other appearances, just imrsing themselves in filming.

Fortunately, their collaborative reality show "We’re Together" was airing. From the teaser alone, it had already surpassed ratings of one percent. By the ti the first episode officially aired, peak ratings broke three percent!

This was an unprecedented achievent for dostic variety shows, showcasing just how popular Lin Qin and ng Chao were.

With the success of "We’re Together," Lin Qin seed like a hidden gem unearthed. As his authentic self erged through the lens, more and more people fell for Lin Qin.

They discovered Lin Qin’s exceptional culinary skills. They admired how he’d write an entire detailed character backstory for a role. They appreciated Lin Qin’s sincere way of treating everyone. If Lin Qin’s na had felt sowhat one-dinsional to the audience before, with each new episode of the reality show, their understanding grew deeper, making it impossible not to like this young man.

While Lin Qin might display shyness and awkwardness in front of caras or strangers, the audience could clearly see his earnestness—his genuine efforts to adapt to the program and interact with every guest that ca by.

Of course, ng Chao had his own charm. His boyfriend-like charisma and playful teasing of Lin Qin, combined with his unwavering support whenever Lin Qin needed him most, gave Lin Qin a strong sense of security.

Later episodes stopped featuring trending stars, instead inviting artists from various industries within the entertainnt circle. Even their casual chat sessions left viewers feeling rewarded and deepened their understanding of the acting profession.

A month later, with four episodes broadcast including the teaser, both Lin Qin and ng Chao had gained a massive wave of fans due to their genuine portrayal on the show. The guest artists also found renewed recognition, with many of their older works rediscovered, leading to praise for their acting skills.

Everything seed to be going in a positive direction until a blogger claiming to be Lin Qin’s high school classmate posted a headline article.
