Clicking in, it's incredibly lively.
"December 22nd? That's the anniversary of my classmate's grandfather's death. Thank you, Lin Chuyan."
"It's my birthday today. Thank you, Lin Chuyan, you're too kind."
"Can you give us a few more numbers? I'm going to buy a lottery ticket."
"Back when I broke up with my first love, it was on December 22nd. Yanzi has a heart of gold."
Many people have also realized that no matter how much the Haters bash him, one undeniable fact remains: Lin Chuyan is a true top-tier celebrity.
Someone who can get on the trending list just by posting anything on a normal day releases a new album, and sure enough, he immediately dominated the charts.
Lin Chuyan watched silently. He suddenly remembered when he was still an unknown in the entertainment industry; the day Ruan Xingyu released her new album, it seemed she dominated the charts just like this.
It seems he has caught up to the Heavenly Queen. In every sense.
12:22. The new album is officially released.
Netizens started flooding into NetEase Cloud Music.
NetEase Cloud Music's promotion is still comprehensive.
From the splash screen poster to daily recommendations to the homepage banner ads... just like when the blue album was first released.
However, the current Lin Chuyan doesn't really need these anymore.
He has a massive fan base, countless Haters, and casual fans who have a good impression of him.
But this group of people clicked in following Lin Chuyan's name, and then they were dumbfounded.
Those whose reactions were faster than their brains backed out immediately: "Sorry, clicked the wrong thing. I wanted to search for Lin Chuyan, but I ended up searching for Ruan Xingyu's name, lol."
But when they searched for Lin Chuyan again and clicked in, they looked closely—this isn't right, is it? This isn't right! Wait, did Boss Zhu from NetEase Cloud Music mess up again?!
He messed up once before, writing Lin Mo's name as Lin Chuyan...
No, that wasn't a mistake! So what is this?
Is this f***ing the name of the new album???
Lin Chuyan's new album is named "Ruan Xingyu"???
Holy crap???
Are you serious, brother???
You're showing off your affection like this???
Do you love her that much???
Wait, is this really okay???
Netizens were truly dumbfounded; they didn't know what to say.
By the way, has there ever been such a move in the entertainment industry before?
No, definitely not. If there were, I would definitely remember.
There are some who use their mother's name as the album title, that's understandable.
But celebrity couples doing this too?
"Yanzi, you're really badass..."
"Holy crap, Lin Chuyan, you're really daring! Aren't you afraid of social death if you break up?"
"Holy crap, is the love really that intense?! Are you sure you won't break up later?!"
"Holy crap, holy crap!"
Unfortunately, netizens lack culture; a single "holy crap" covers everything.
At this moment, the netizens clicking into Lin Chuyan's new album were constantly saying "holy crap."
Consequently, a funny thing happened: #HolyCrap# actually made it to the trending list. Clicking into the entry, netizens were all posting exclamation marks...
Another trending topic had already replaced the original #1: #Ruan Xingyu#.
Ruan Xingyu didn't do anything, and he sent her straight to the top of the trending list.
The Little Potatoes were already in a daze—they were indeed shipping the CP, but even in their dreams, they wouldn't dare to dream of this, okay!
Absurd, truly absurd! Is this f***ing the highest realm of showing off affection?!
Locked! This pair is completely locked!
Shipping a CP is fun. Shipping a real CP is even more fun. Shipping a CP where the male lead releases a new album using the female lead's name? Ah... is this something we can ship?
After the initial questioning of life, the Little Potatoes were immediately ecstatic.
He loves her so much!
Who said there's no true love in this world? If this isn't true love, then what is? In the future, whoever says there's no true love, just throw this album at them; no need to say anything else.
He really loves her so much!
"Ah, I must have been a good person in my past life to let me ship such a sweet romance in this life!"
"Brother is truly holding nothing back, wuwuwu, I'm really moved."
"However much love I have, I will give it all to you! I don't want to think about the future; I just want the present! Right now, I love you this much!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, this behavior of my brother, isn't it also a form of a domineering CEO in a certain sense..."
"Envious of Xingxing, I'm already tired of saying this..."
Mosquito Brother was also dumbfounded when he saw the album name.
Although he identified as a Hater, he was always reasonable.
Honestly, at this moment, he felt very conflicted.
He knew this was a love song album, and he knew it was written for Ruan Xingyu. He even guessed that Lin Chuyan would make a move with the album name, which is why he kept hiding it.
However, he absolutely didn't expect Lin Chuyan to go this far...
Lin Chuyan, did he really love his goddess this much? It wasn't just simple verbal displays of affection in various settings; he was truly proving himself through actions, and doing it better than anyone else?
Mosquito Brother was a bit impressed.
Perhaps, the goddess would really be happy being with him...
No matter how much he disliked Lin Chuyan, as long as he treated her well, he could offer his most sincere blessings.
Moreover, as someone currently in a passionate relationship, Mosquito Brother could truly empathize with Lin Chuyan—this was definitely love!
Furthermore, Mosquito Brother went a step further—he was wondering, if he were Lin Chuyan, could he treat Junior with such lack of reservation? Could he name an album after Junior?
It's hard...
It's not that he doesn't love, but it's hard for him to express his love in such a way that leaves no retreat.
Yes, a retreat.
He was just enjoying a romance and hadn't thought about "marriage" or anything like that... naturally, he wouldn't do something like this.
A madman, Lin Chuyan is truly a madman! Is this what's called being crazy for love?
In other words, Lin Chuyan had thought about marriage; otherwise, he wouldn't have done this.
At this moment, Mosquito Brother deeply understood Lin Chuyan.
Lin Chuyan is a man!
Not a single song had been listened to yet, and the biggest entertainment news was already out.
All social platforms and media were discussing this matter—everyone said Lin Chuyan was born with the constitution of a trending star, and now no one should doubt that anymore.
This guy is really good at causing a stir.
Lin Chuyan had thought it would cause a discussion, but he really hadn't expected that the trending lists on these platforms could keep appearing like this for free.
There wasn't much to pay attention to, but he still wanted to post on Weibo.
He edited the text and clicked post.
"On December 22nd last year, I only had one web movie airing. Others thought I had nothing, but they didn't know I was the happiest person in the world. Ruan Xingyu, happy one-year anniversary. This is an album, and also a gift. I hope you like it. @Ruan Xingyu"
Ruan Xingyu reposted his Weibo.
"Others thought you had nothing, but I knew you possessed so much. I like your talent, I like your humor, I like the way you work hard and live seriously, I like how you tuck my hand into your pocket, and I like how you keep comforting me when you see me sad. As long as it's from you, I like it. @Lin Chuyan"
Lin Chuyan didn't speak, just stared at his phone and smiled foolishly.
It's so fast; a year has passed just like that.
This year, both of them were busy with their own work, and they were even separated more often than they were together.
People around them came and went; it seemed many things were changing.
But fortunately, some things never changed.
Netizens might just think it's very sweet, but only he knew that the words Ruan Xingyu said were the exact words she used when she confessed to him back then.
She remembered, and he remembered too.
He hadn't changed, and she hadn't changed either.
