In the XX authors' group -
"Has Xiaolin run out of ideas lately? Why is she always showing off her love on Weibo?"
"Yeah, I was recommended by a friend. I thought it was some kind of love guide, but when I followed her, it turned out to be a bunch of sweet stuff from Xiaolin."
"QAQ, I'm the one who's really suffered. I was chasing a girl properly, but she just snapped at me and asked if I was as good as Mr. L. What else could I say???"
"Haha, dude, you're quite something. When did you set your sights on someone? Weren't you saying last month that us single dogs should stick together for life?"
"...... Even single dogs want to fall in love."
Ye Zi originally planned to surf the Internet to kill some time, but unexpectedly, the authors' group that had been quiet for a long time suddenly became lively. Curious, she clicked in and was immediately excited.
"Lin and Mr. L are so sweet! They're such a perfect match!" Without thinking, she typed and sent this sentence.
The topic that had already veered off track in the group was suddenly pulled back. After a few seconds of silence, everyone's curiosity was instantly piqued.
"Not bad, Ye Zi. You seem to know a lot!" someone joked.
Immediately, someone chimed in, "Exactly. Ye Zi, you seem to be very close to Xiaolin. Do you really know her boyfriend?"
"You must know, aren't you two besties?"
"Tell us. What does that mysterious Mr. L look like?"
Many people in the group started to try to get some information about Mr. L from Ye Zi. They were really curious about this mysterious person who had been appearing on Lin Wan's Weibo in the past few months.
Looking at everyone's curious looks in the group, Ye Zi felt her heart being warmed by something. Her fingertips trembled with excitement, and a feeling of pride welled up and spread in her heart.
"I'll tell you. You'll never guess Mr. L's identity!" she said proudly.
"Judging from Ye Zi's smug look, is that Mr. L really something? Could he be a big shot in the literary circle?"
"Exactly. Whoever it is, come out and clarify quickly. If you're exposed later, treat us to a meal!"
Seeing that the conversation in the group had gone off on a tangent, Ye Zi quickly spoke up to set it right. "Mr. L is not from the literary circle. He probably doesn't read novels usually."
"Oh? Then what's his job? It should be quite leisurely. Look at how Xiaolin is always glued to him in her Weibo posts."
"He's quite leisurely now, but he should be really busy when he has work," Ye Zi thought for a moment and said.
"Come on. Who on earth is this godlike figure? Ye Zi, don't keep us in suspense. Hurry up and reveal the answer!"
"Exactly. If you don't reveal the answer soon, we won't support your next book!"
"You've never supported my books anyway!" Ye Zi said irritably. Then, with a sly smile, she said, "Do you still remember that star who caused a huge stir the other day?"
"...... Which one?"
"Is it the one who confessed his love at a concert? That's the only star I remember. I thought his confession scene was so romantic that I even planned to write it into my novel."
"Right, right. I remember that star too. His name is Lu Zhihang, isn't it?"
"What does this have to do with our President Lu? The person he confessed to wasn't Xiaolin..."
As soon as this sentence appeared on the screen, the entire authors' group fell silent.
Ye Zi knew at once that they had grasped the crucial point. She stopped talking and just hugged her phone in the dormitory, giggling secretly.
Anyway, she was extremely happy. No one else knew this, but she did. And the person Lu Zhihang had confessed to was her best friend. Now they were together. It was like she was half - friends with Lu Zhihang! Becoming friends with one's idol was something no one could even imagine.
"F*ck! Can't be what I'm thinking, right?"
"This is too crazy. I have an idea that's more like a wild guess than anything!"
"Surely not. Is this just a coincidence?"
"There's a time difference, isn't there? I don't think it's possible. Ye Zi, are you pulling our legs?"
"Are you daydreaming? How could such a good thing happen? I might as well say I'm Lu Zhihang's girlfriend!"
Seeing the reactions in the group, Ye Zi was quite satisfied. But soon, she saw a few mindless and offensive remarks.
Instantly, anger welled up in her. Her fingertips stabbed at the screen frantically.
"Believe it or not. Anyway, Lin Wan is Xiaolin, the great author Lin. She's the girl who was confessed to at the concert!"
"That's how it is. Believe it or not!"
After saying that, Ye Zi closed the group chat and snorted angrily, thinking that there were idiots everywhere.
Ye Zi left, but the chat in the group didn't stop.
In the dozens of seconds after these two sentences appeared, it was as if the whole world had fallen silent. The group was quiet for a full sixty seconds. Then, the entire group exploded, and many previously silent members were also drawn out.
As the group exploded, news about uncovering the identities started to appear on Weibo.
As these Weibo posts spread rapidly among the authors' fans, almost within an hour, the entire literary circle was in an uproar.
"Damn it! Xiaolin is actually Lin Wan. Am I crazy or is the world crazy?"
"Oh my god! One is my male god and the other is my female goddess. How did these two get together!"
"I'm heartbroken. I've been referring to this so - called love guide for so long, and the male protagonist turns out to be Lu Zhihang, the guy I used to hate the most! Ahh! How come I'm a fan of Lu Zhihang now?"
"I never knew that President Lu was so flirty in real life?"
"These flirty moves are giving me goosebumps. How many girlfriends must he have had to be like this? He can't be a born Casanova!"
"Hey, no matter if President Lu is a born Casanova or not, I'm shipping him and Author Lin!"
"Same here!"
"Same + 2!"
As this incident grew bigger, its influence also gradually expanded. At this moment, Lu Zhihang and Lin Wan, the two protagonists who should have been at the center of the storm, were huddled in their study, playing computer games completely unaware.
"Move forward a bit. I can't see you," Lu Zhihang said in a low voice as he moved to the left on the map.
Hearing this, Lin Wan obediently moved forward.
Lu Zhihang immediately replenished her health. Before he could make his next move, his phone beside the computer rang.
Both of them paused. Lu Zhihang hung up the phone irritably.
