206: Chapter 206 Who is the mistress?

...

On August 2nd, the official Weibo account for "the long season" began posting.

" #the long season Premieres Today#

Scooping up a handful of time from the river of years, we see the mottled memories of the small town of Hualin. Today, we will open up this dust-laden story for everyone, as a narrative scroll spanning many years slowly unfolds.

In "the long season," there is the capriciousness of fate, and the struggles and persistence of ordinary people under the tides of the era. Every character is a traveler in life, carrying their respective pasts, walking alone on the road to finding the truth.

Wang Xiang's figure reveals his obsession with the past and his thirst for the truth; beneath Gong Biao's seemingly carefree exterior lies a unique realization about life; Ma Desheng's passion and stubbornness are his distinct hallmarks in the torrent of time.

The fog-shrouded dismemberment case of 1997 is like a deep wound, carved into the history of Hualin and into the depths of every character's soul.

Tonight at 18:00, on Penguin Video, let us walk into "the long season" together and explore the truth buried by time. "

At the same time, the viewing calendar was released.

"the long season" has a total of 12 episodes.

Members get the first 3 episodes, with 1 new episode updated every night at 18:00, and exclusive access to the 3-episode finale.

Non-members are in an awkward spot, with 1 new episode updated every Saturday, Sunday, and Monday at 18:00.

Today happens to be a Saturday.

For those who don't have a membership and don't want to pay for one, the good news is that non-members can watch it too; the bad news is that members get to watch 3 episodes tonight, while non-members only get 1, and the final 3 episodes are member-exclusive.

The question arises: to watch or not to watch?

Lin Chuyan didn't have time to watch it anyway, as he still had to film.

Su He sent him a message: "Nervous, excited."

Lin Chuyan replied: "What do you mean?"

Su He sent a voice message directly: "Yan, I feel like we're going to be popular. I have a feeling this show is going to blow up!"

Lin Chuyan also replied with a voice message: "Su Su, you've got the situation wrong."

"What situation?"

"I've always been pretty popular, okay…"

"Damn, damn, damn, I'm going to be popular, is that better?"

Lin Chuyan stopped joking, thought for a moment, and replied: "With a show of this quality, at least you'll be able to get familiar to the audience, right? Then there will definitely be more opportunities in the future. Your face is so recognizable, you've just been lacking a bit of luck. With "the hovering blade" plus "the long season," you can do it. Who knows, maybe your path will be smooth sailing from here on."

Lin Chuyan understood that not everyone had his luck. There were more people like Su He who were struggling hard and longing to do better. And Su He needed his encouragement.

Hearing him say this, Su He was indeed very happy: "Alright, alright, it's time, I'm going to watch the show. I'll give you spoilers later!"

Lin Chuyan didn't reply again, just sent Su Su a "Nobita giving the middle finger" meme.

...

Besides Su He, Mosquito Bro naturally had to watch the show as soon as it aired.

However, times were different now; Mosquito Bro was no longer a loner.

That's right, the night Lin Chuyan and Ruan Xingyu made their relationship official, he and Junior also successfully held hands.

After the concert, on the way back, they didn't let go of each other's hands.

Don't laugh at him, but just holding hands was enough to make Mosquito Bro's nether regions stir a bit.

Ridiculous.

Is this the magical virgin body that has never been irrigated by a woman?

And today was the premiere day of "the long season," so how could he not watch Lin Chuyan—no, watch the veteran actors show off their acting skills—with Junior?

After dinner, the two found a study room… Studying was impossible, it was just an excuse to date.

Junior: "Mosquito, did you buy a membership?"

"Yeah, three episodes in a row, we should watch them all tonight, right? Otherwise, we'll definitely get spoiled."

"Okay, but let me buy the membership next time. You can't be the one spending money every time we watch a Lin Chuyan drama! Even though you're his true fan, I am too."

[Who's a true fan? I'm a fake fan disguised as a true fan, okay!]

Mosquito Bro was quite speechless. To be honest, ever since he was inexplicably roasted by Lin the Dog on Lin the Dog's Weibo while discussing "a moment of romance" last time, he had been thinking about whether to take off this damn mask...

This guy was really too mean; he couldn't take it anymore.

Come to think of it, Lin Chuyan himself seemed to have worn a mask back then, creating the identity of Lin Mo...

And he, in order to pursue Junior, had disguised himself as a fan of Lin the Dog...

No, what era is this? Why are people still playing the "secret identity" trope? If this were written into a novel, wouldn't it die of cringe immediately?

Mosquito Bro's problem now was very simple: now that he had successfully pursued Junior, did he still have to keep pretending?

What if they got married in the future? Did he have to keep pretending for the rest of his life?

If he pretended for a lifetime, wouldn't he actually become a fan?

Mosquito Bro was startled by this thought!

Damn it, no, he had to find an opportunity to confess to Junior... He'd just honestly say he was a hater of Lin the Dog and only pretended to be a fan to pursue her.

But as soon as this thought arose, it was immediately extinguished by Mosquito Bro: No, Junior is a true fan. What if she thinks he was deceiving her all this time just to get close to her and breaks up with him? Wouldn't that make him a total sap?

Since that day, his progress with Junior had been okay. They'd held hands, kissed, but the next step had yet to be taken.

Yeah, he had bought condoms, but he hadn't found an opportunity to use them yet. Or rather, he was looking for such an opportunity lately.

[Damn it, Lin the Dog must have used them long ago! Goddess, my goddess...]

Mosquito Bro sighed for a few seconds, then reaffirmed his conviction.

No, at such a critical moment, everything must give way to using the condom!

If he really made Junior angry...

The first person in history to remain a virgin because of Lin Chuyan? Damn...

Just thinking about it felt ridiculous!

The more Mosquito Bro thought about it, the harder it was to contain himself: Damn it, why does it feel like Lin Chuyan has become the third wheel between him and Junior?

The question arises again: Who is the third wheel?

Good question, that's really a good question...

Logically, since he was with Junior, Lin the Dog, as a ticking time bomb, was naturally the third wheel.

But thinking about it again, it seemed Junior had liked Lin the Dog for a long time, and he, Mosquito, was the one who came later...

So the ultimate question was actually: If he took off his mask, would Junior side with Lin the Dog or him?

Good question, that's also a good question...

Mosquito Bro suddenly fell into deep thought.

"Mosquito? Mosquito?"

"Huh?"

"What are you spacing out about?"

"…No, nothing. I was just thinking, I wonder what kind of role Lin Chuyan is playing this time, I'm so looking forward to it…"

[Damn it, better endure it a bit longer!]

Junior was a bit excited, but also a bit worried: "Yeah, yeah, the internet says it's a mute character. It feels like it'll be hard to perform, but I'm really looking forward to how he acts it."

Mosquito Bro touched Junior's face: "Don't worry, since our idol took this role, there must be a reason for it. We have to believe in him! Besides, since there are no Lines, he must be relying on his eye acting to conquer the audience!"

[Damn, I'm a genius, I even thought of that.]

Mosquito Bro remembered that he had the same worries as Junior before, but looking at Junior's clear, innocent face right now, he didn't know why, but he suddenly understood.

Junior stood on her tiptoes and kissed him: "Lin Chuyan is amazing for having you!"

Mosquito Bro touched his cheek; that strange feeling in his heart was getting stronger and stronger.

Why was it that every time he praised Lin Chuyan, he got a reward?

Could it be that the hope for his next move depended on Lin Chuyan?

Damn, damn, damn, can't think about it anymore, watch the show, watch the show!

At 6 PM, "the long season" officially premiered.
