Zhu Zhengchu and Xiang Yutang weren't on their phones, so they had no idea that the microblog was in an uproar.
On one side, fans were furious, demanding a quick punishment for the assailant! On the other side, CP fans thought they'd unearthed a huge scoop.
From the video taken by the paparazzi, it was clear that Zhu Zhengchu had done this to protect Xiang Yutang. Logically speaking, even if a tutor encountered danger, they wouldn't rush forward so excitedly. Could there really be something between the two of them?
Some fans argued that it was just because Zhu Zhengchu was a gentleman who didn't want to see a lady get hurt. That was all.
The two sides were at loggerheads, and the argument was about to turn the world upside down.
Just then, another explosive piece of news came out: the advertisement that Xiang Yutang and Zhu Zhengchu had shot before!
It was an advertisement for Lover's Rose!
Normally, shooting an advertisement wasn't a big deal, but the fact that it was released just at this time seemed to be solid evidence of something.
Melon-eater No. 1: Holy cow, isn't this solid evidence? As we all know, Brother Zhu never takes on advertisements that involve intimate contact, right? And the fact that the partner happens to be Xiang Yutang. Don't you think Brother Zhu has been taking extra care of her since the talent show started?
Melon-eater No. 2: I agree with the above. The behind-the-scenes footage released by the program group has always puzzled me. Why does Brother Zhu, a vocal teacher, always go to the dance group? Now we have an answer!
Melon-eater No. 3: Whether it's true or not, I'm shipping this CP. Don't you think they're a perfect match in terms of looks? The kids they have in the future will be the chosen ones!
Where there were voices shipping the CP, there were also the angry voices of solo fans.
Solo fan No. 1: Take Brother Zhu away. Can't he just stay single?
Solo fan No. 2: Exactly. Please don't let Brother Zhu get tied up with just anyone. A newbie who hasn't even debuted yet dares to try to be associated with Brother Zhu. How shameless.
Under this comment, those who disagreed and those who agreed were almost at each other's throats.
Among those arguing was a man in his fifties who was still active on the Internet - Xiang Zhengyun.
Xiang Zhengyun: You're the one who's just anyone. Although Xiang Yutang does seem like an idiot, disobedient, always only knowing how to play around, and has no femininity at all and is doomed to never get married, she's still not someone you can talk about like that!
The others on the Internet: ????
Was this person here to defend Xiang Yutang or to scold her?
When Xiang Yutang was lying in bed playing on her phone, she saw this comment. Her first reaction was that this comment must have been made by the old coot at home! No one else would talk like that!
Zhu Zhengchu had been listening to music to find inspiration. Seeing her sitting there with her little face all red again, he smiled.
"Why are you angry again?"
Xiang Yutang showed him her phone: "This person must be my dad!"
Zhu Zhengchu looked at the comment and twitched the corner of his mouth. He also thought it was probably Xiang Zhengyun, but obviously he couldn't admit it. Otherwise, Xiang Yutang would definitely get even angrier.
"It may not necessarily be Uncle Yun. There are a lot of strange people on the Internet. Maybe it's just that the tone of speech is similar."
"Really?" Xiang Yutang was skeptical.
Zhu Zhengchu changed the subject: "Aren't you as curious as they are about why I saved you?"
Xiang Yutang said: "You're my teacher. Of course you'd save me."
Zhu Zhengchu smiled: "Have you never thought that I might have some other motives?"
Xiang Yutang looked up at him: "Don't tell me... you're...?"
Zhu Zhengchu raised his eyebrows. Did she figure it out?
"Interested in my boyfriend?! You want to compete with me for Ultraman?!" Xiang Yutang looked at him warily.
Zhu Zhengchu felt like he'd been sent from heaven to hell again. Forget it. This girl's train of thought was beyond him.
"I'm not a kid anymore. What would I want Ultraman for?!"
"I'm not a kid either, but I still love him!"
Zhu Zhengchu said helplessly: "Okay, okay, you love him. Stop playing on your phone and go to sleep quickly."
It was supposed to be Xiang Yutang taking care of him, but instead he was the one coaxing her to sleep.
Xiang Yutang put down her phone. Zhu Zhengchu used his uninjured hand to tuck her in: "Go to sleep obediently."
"Good night, Teacher~"
"Good night."
Zhu Zhengchu turned off the light and lay down on his own bed. In the darkness, neither of them said anything else. All they could hear was each other's breathing.
Zhu Zhengchu somehow thought this was nice. At least he wouldn't be choked by this little girl's inexplicable words.
Xiang Yutang could fall asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. Soon she was sound asleep. Zhu Zhengchu listened to her breathing and smiled.
He had to find a chance to trick this little girl into sleeping in his arms.
But soon his smile faded, because Xiang Yutang was such an unruly sleeper. She tossed and turned, kicking the quilt onto the floor.
Zhu Zhengchu had to get up to pick up the quilt and cover her with it again, but soon, she kicked it onto the floor again.
Zhu Zhengchu felt like he wanted to sew her to the quilt with a needle.
"Teacher!" Xiang Yutang suddenly shouted.
Zhu Zhengchu was startled: "What's wrong? Did you fall?"
"Teacher! Look! We found the Seven Dragon Balls! Shenron is about to come out. I must make my wish come true. I want to be a big singing star!"
Zhu Zhengchu:....
So she was just talking in her sleep.
She was really an unruly sleeper.
After being tossed around by Xiang Yutang for almost an hour, Zhu Zhengchu was finally able to go back to his own bed and fall asleep.
The next day, Xiang Yutang was full of energy, while Zhu Zhengchu was神经衰弱.
Who could tell him why there was someone who sang while talking in their sleep? In the second half of the night, Xiang Yutang inexplicably sang for half an hour. He was so angry that he almost threw Xiang Yutang out of the building.
Xiang Yutang went out to buy breakfast for him. When she came back and saw his state, she sighed: "Teacher, why do you look prematurely aged and like you have kidney deficiency?"
Zhu Zhengchu stared at her: "It's all your fault!"
"Me? What did I do? Don't blame your premature aging on me." Xiang Yutang looked innocent.
Zhu Zhengchu complained about what she had done last night: "What on earth did you dream about last night? First you talked in your sleep, and then you sang." And it wasn't just a few words or a short time!
Xiang Yutang thought for a while: "I remember! First I dreamed that you and I found the Seven Dragon Balls together. Then we made wishes to Shenron. You wanted a cute younger brother with a nice butt, and I wanted a wonderful singing voice."
Zhu Zhengchu: " ... What did you say I wanted?" Why would he want a cute younger brother with a nice butt?!
"A cute younger brother with a nice butt. Teacher, you look so gay. I know you must be into that." Xiang Yutang looked like she knew everything.
Zhu Zhengchu didn't want to argue with her anymore: "Then what else did you dream about?"
"Then I dreamed that I really became a big singing star and was having a concert! I went on stage to perform and sing. It was so much fun!" Xiang Yutang looked excited.
Zhu Zhengchu said mournfully: "Yeah, you were so excited. I almost had a heart attack."
