So, that morning, Gu Xilin behaved strangely as he carried Jiang Yan downstairs and got her food, before turning around and quietly returning to his own bedroom.
This ti when he carried Jiang Yan, he was very careful not to hold her like a child as he did yesterday, but instead used a gentleman's princess hold, his gaze wandering and his expression restrained, as if suppressing sothing.
Jiang Yan was a little puzzled, but then thought, "Could it be because of my emotional outburst last night that he feels too embarrassed to face ?"
Gu Xilin did not know her thoughts. He stayed alone in his room all day, not eating, his mind in a daze.
He had slowly co to realize that Jiang Yan was so smart, so lucid, and even had ambition, with a temper that was endearingly bad... considering it over and over, falling into her hands seed not a bad thing.
With his arrogant and proud nature, he had never imagined himself liking soone, let alone what kind of person he would like.
But for a proud man like Gu Xilin, the only certainty was that if he wanted to obtain sothing, he had to take the initiative and seize it.
Just as he had figured this out, a crew mber ca knocking on his door, calling him down for an activity.
This activity involved interacting with the live audience. All the guests gathered on the sofas in the living room.
Jiang Yan and He Suyi sat in the middle, with Su Liangchuan sitting beside He Suyi, and Pei Yanche and Lin Changxu sitting beside Jiang Yan.
Gu Xilin scanned the room, crossing his long legs as he sat in the small space in front of Pei Yanche.
"Hey, there's an empty seat opposite you." Since they were live, Pei Yanche only made a low-voiced comnt, pushing Lin Changxu back a bit.
The live comnts joked about Gu Xilin isolating Su Liangchuan, but Su Liangchuan gave Jiang Yan a thoughtful look.
The activity began with the first segnt of answering fan questions. They used a random screenshot thod for selection.
Following the director's cue, the first question appeared, from a viewer nad "Granting You a Lifeti of Longing," asking: Why does He Suyi dote on Jiang Yan so much?
This easily brought to mind the fan wars when He Suyi first joined the show.
Soone asking such a question was likely a reporter lurking in the live chat, looking to stir up drama and hot topics. But the production team had considered such hot topic questions and didn't filter this one out.
He Suyi was used to such things, but she still smiled and said seriously, "It's probably because of that genuine fondness. Since I'm an only child, I always hoped to have soone to accompany , which later evolved into wanting a little sister."
"To be honest, a big reason I ca on this show was because of the trending search for Jiang Yan taking off Gu Xilin's mask. The first ti I saw her, I thought, 'Wow, this little sister is so cute!' Then I ca here and found that she really is so cute!"
As she spoke, she unconsciously stroked Jiang Yan's hair and clothes.
Gu Xilin's lips pursed slightly. Ever since realizing Jiang Yan could change faces, he couldn't help but stare at her for a long ti, watching how she deceived people and acted cute.
Although he still found her cute.
But he had also gradually noticed Jiang Yan's true thoughts.
Like at this mont, Jiang Yan's formulaic fake smile faltered, and then amusent flickered in her eyes as she genuinely smiled. It was more sincere than usual towards him.
He Suyi really knew how to talk.
Gu Xilin silently scoffed. You should go take a course on emotional intelligence if even a heartless little deceiver like her can move you.
The audience's comnts gradually beca strange:
[Ahem, so why did Gu Xilin suddenly pinch his fingers and sneer coldly?]
[Oh my, maybe his hand was itchy, and so were his teeth.]
[Could it be he's planning to use that trick again of intentionally being harsh to the little sister, only to take the chance to hug her?]
[Sigh, all this boils down to Gu Xilin being jealous, doesn't it?]
[Alas, those above don't understand the art of subtlety at all.]
Fortunately, since Jiang Yan and the others were farthest away, they didn't see the comnts on the screen clearly, and Gu Xilin's attention wasn't on them either.
Pei Yanche and Lin Changxu were equally confused, and even if they had seen the comnts, they wouldn't have understood. Only Su Liangchuan beca increasingly certain of a particular guess.
The following fan questions were all over the place.
So asked how many seasons the show would run; so asked about He Suyi's future plans; so asked if Lin Changxu would act in movies; so asked if Su Liangchuan had a partner; so asked why Pei Yanche was so bad at gaming; so asked if Jiang Yan liked the gifts fans sent her...
But there were no questions about Gu Xilin at all.
It was no surprise, as Gu Xilin's temperant and personality were well-known to all—a typical arrogant celebrity in the industry. He had his own set of boundaries and principles, arrogant and independent, soone no one dared provoke easily. As the saying went, "You can play and fool around, but don't ss with Mr. Gu."
It wasn't until the very end, when this segnt was about to conclude, that soone who seed unable to sit still any longer used a default avatar with a random userna to ask: Does Teacher Gu have an ideal type?
The hidden agenda behind this question made all the viewers who had been sending comnts stop in their tracks, open their eyes wide, and prick up their ears, waiting for an answer.
Then they noticed that ever since coming downstairs, Gu Xilin, who had been dazed and distracted, suddenly paused, his ears slowly turning red.
Yet he himself seed oblivious to his own flustered state, forcibly composed as he fixed his gaze on the screen, his voice trembling as he uttered a few descriptive words: "A bit short in height, with a not-so-good temper, looking very cute..."
The redness crept up to his cheeks as he went on unaware, describing more and more: "With soft, smooth hair that can be tied into two braids, big black eyes, liking sweets, with round little nails," and even subtly hinting, "And able to share so of her delicious treats with ."
The live audience went wild with delight:
[I'm so amazed! Gu Xilin has even planned out his ideal type's hair strands and nails!]
[A blind person could see he's describing Jiang Yan!]
[My dear has a bad temper?]
[He must have used up all the descriptive words!]
[Is this what happens when even a famous singer-songwriter's cultural level drops in front of soone they like, describing a person's eyes as "big black ones"?]
[I was wondering earlier if Gu Xilin had blossod like an iron tree, but it turns out it's Jiang Yan, so no problem.]
[Doesn't the last sentence have so special aning? It sounds like there's a story behind it! I'm so curious!]
The guests present were basically all perplexed, only feeling that Gu Xilin might have started a romance, since he was being too obvious about it, but they couldn't say anything to remind him because of the live broadcast.
Except for Su Liangchuan.
After Gu Xilin finished speaking, he added a "He Suyi". She lowered her eyes discreetly and loosely put her arm around Jiang Yan's shoulders, pulling her closer.
Jiang Yan was no fool and could naturally understand the implication, but she didn't seem too surprised. Last night when Gu Xilin walked out of the bedroom, she had already guessed.
After all, a certain soone's jealous nature had never changed from start to finish.
