209: Chapter 209 The Sea of Learning Has No Bounds
With three episodes aired back-to-back on the first day, the fans who had been waiting impatiently for Fu Weijun to appear were finally satisfied by the end.
Moreover, with just that tiny bit of screen time in the third episode, this guy immediately trended on several hot searches:
# Lin Chuyan Fu Weijun #
# Lin Chuyan Su He Crime CP #
There was even a hot search called # Prison-Bound Heartthrob #
"Others are the ascetic type, but Lin Chuyan... from 'the hovering blade' to 'The Long Season', I've also heard that there's all sorts of fighting in 'a moment of romance' too. Lin the Dog, you sure know how to pick your roles."
"This kid is really 'criminal'! But to be fair, I'm liking him more and more. He doesn't have much screen time, but every second he appears is quite brilliant."
"CPs can be niche, but they can't be twisted. I'm dying of laughter over this Crime CP."
"Lin Chuyan's chin-pinching move was so cool. By the way, does Ruan Xingyu often get her chin pinched like that too?"
"The Haters have gone quiet again. Before the broadcast, they were all saying they didn't think Lin Chuyan could play a mute. What do you say now?"
"Is getting slapped in the face every day fun? If you can't beat them, join them, dummy! My brother has a bright future, what are you still thinking about?"
"Did you guys notice? Everyone in this show has a Northern accent, except for Lin Chuyan, who is from Guangdong Province. It's hilarious. No wonder they had him play a mute."
Everyone could see that, as of now, all six of the lead and special guest actors had appeared. Looking at it currently, the others were busy being funny, solving cases, or falling in love, while the heavy responsibility of being the 'cool guy' clearly fell on the character of Fu Weijun.
Judging from the small amount of screen time so far, Lin Chuyan could be said to have done an exceptionally good job.
This kind of 'coolness' wasn't the greasy kind that says, "Look at me, I'm so cool, come watch me." Instead, he was completely immersed in the character, and the character's radiance led to the actor himself being appreciated by the audience.
In the fourth episode, Lin Chuyan still had no screen time.
But by the fifth episode, there was another exhilarating fight scene.
From Fu Weijun taking off his hearing aid, the group fight, rushing into the kitchen to grab a cleaver, to the ferocity radiating from his entire being when he came back out, and then slamming the blade into the chair... his Sign Language gestures, his gaze, the way his mouth turned down, and him putting his hearing aid back on at the end.
Combined with Su He's extremely arrogant face and that line: "His name is Fu Weijun, did you remember that?!"
These two brothers clearly had no actual martial arts skills—one would keep fawning and apologizing when beaten, and the other relied solely on pure ruthlessness to fight—yet for some reason, their aura at that moment was impossible to hide. No wonder everyone was praising them.
And so, two more hot searches went up—
# Lin Chuyan is so sexy #
# Lin Chuyan takes off hearing aid #
Yes, just taking off a hearing aid was enough to trend.
"I used to envy Lin Chuyan, now I envy Ruan Xingyu."
"( 艹皿艹) Lin Chuyan's movement of taking off his hearing aid was just... it's comparable to unbuckling a belt. Besties, I can't handle this..."
"Could it be! Could it be that not speaking is the best cosmetic procedure for a man?"
"Family, who gets it? Who gets this kind of silent tension?"
"Husband, husband, husband, my new husband."
"As expected, people will fall in love with Lin Chuyan at different stages!"
Of course, there were Haters who weren't convinced: "Lin Chuyan has too many brainless fans. They're hyping him up just because of two fight scenes, and even praising how charming he is? Isn't this encouraging violent behavior?"
But they were quickly swarmed by old fans and a large number of newly converted fans.
"Wow, you really don't watch the plot at all, do you? You sure know how to frame people."
"Two fight scenes? Lin Chuyan's eye acting and every single movement were clearly meticulously designed, okay? Pretending not to see it, huh? Just hating, just awkwardly hating."
"That's how Haters are. Lin Chuyan just needs to focus on acting, while Haters have so much to consider, racking their brains to find angles to hate on my Idol."
Ruan Xingyu, Sun Yiyi, and Wen Qi were also watching the fifth episode of 'The Long Season' tonight.
After all, it was her boyfriend's show, how could she not support it?
Wen Qi was sitting to the side, finding some fan comments to read out to Ruan Xingyu: "Hilarious! Sis, do you know what the fans are calling Brother-in-law now?"
Ruan Xingyu was already used to her calling him Brother-in-law, so she chatted while watching: "What?"
"Teacher Zhang!"
Ruan Xingyu turned to look at her: "What does that mean?"
Wen Qi laughed so hard she wanted to roll on the floor: "Sexual tension, so they call him Teacher Zhang!"
Ruan Xingyu wanted to laugh too. Did her boyfriend have a few too many nicknames?
"And there's more, he really has gained so many, many female fans, all calling him their husband."
Ruan Xingyu: "???"
That's too much, that's too much! She hadn't even called him that herself yet!
Sun Yiyi was watching from the side, finding it funny. She happened to be free these few days, so she came over to hang out with Ruan Xingyu.
Honestly, she really was curious about a lot of things. At this moment, she couldn't help but lean closer to Ruan Xingyu and secretly ask a question: "Tell me, you and him, what stage has your progress reached, exactly?"
Ruan Xingyu thought about it seriously, then answered earnestly: "We talked about it a few days ago. We're planning to find an opportunity to meet the parents. His thought is that since he's already met my mom, we might as well wait until he finishes filming, then go back to Beijing to meet my mom and dad together. Then, I'll go back to Guangdong Province with him to meet his parents too... Speaking of that, I'm still worried about it. It's true that I agreed very readily at the time, but it's also true that I'm feeling nervous inside..."
"Your progress is impressive, I admire it, I surrender!" Sun Yiyi commented, then started laughing wildly, "But I was asking what stage you've reached in that area! Hurry up and confess, don't think you can muddle through. Those days when you guys announced it, you were going in and out together; I don't believe nothing happened."
Hearing this, Wen Qi's gossip soul was stirred. It didn't matter if others didn't know, but she clearly knew that during those days, her sister and brother-in-law were staying at the same hotel! And once, when she went to knock on her sister's door, there was absolutely no one inside! What did that mean? It meant the two of them were staying in the same room! It was just that her sister was too shy, so she didn't expose her...
Wen Qi instantly pricked up her ears.
Chatting with her best friend, Ruan Xingyu wasn't exactly coy. Mostly because, it seemed like the two of them hadn't done anything too outrageous together?
If one had to talk about 'outrageous,' it was actually her who was a bit more 'outrageous' on the morning of a certain day?
And Lin Chuyan was still completely in the dark about it...
"Emmm... isn't it just the stuff couples usually do?"
"That stuff? What stuff?" Sun Yiyi coaxed, "Everything?"
"It's not that fast..." Ruan Xingyu started laughing as she spoke. She suddenly remembered that thing she found hidden under her boyfriend's pillow that day.
"Not that fast, then what are you laughing at?" Sun Yiyi became more and more curious.
However, Ruan Xingyu wouldn't talk about that kind of thing: "Nothing... oh, anyway, we're just one last step away."
"I don't believe you!"
"Believe it or not..."
"Oh? Is that so?" Sun Yiyi really wasn't convinced, "Then do you know how many steps there are in total?"
This part belonged to Ruan Xingyu's knowledge blind spot: "Isn't it just kissing and hugging and stuff?"
Sun, the Mentor, Yiyi finally logged on: "The sea of learning is boundless, Ruan Xingyu! Listen well and learn well..."
That night, Ruan Xingyu suddenly remembered many things. Many details she hadn't paid attention to before, all came flooding back to her now.
Like legs... it seemed like her boyfriend really liked them?
And what else?
Hiss... is this really okay?
