32: Chapter 32 Legs!
...
The wrap-up photos of him taking enthusiastic group pictures with a bunch of girls, regardless of anything else, looked quite impressive.
Lin Chuyan couldn't quite tell if the people leaving comments in the section were fans or Haters.
"Reposting again? Bro, post more photos."
"Bro, you absolutely must not break your vow of celibacy easily. I still want to see you go further and film more dramas."
"Understandable, if I were a girl, I'd pounce on him too."
"The entertainment industry is too deep and full of demons. You can't handle it, Yanzi. Let me give you four words to remember: Observe Male Virtue."
Lin Chuyan picked one to reply to: "Don't worry, I'm keeping myself chaste."
He had been busy filming lately, sometimes returning to the hotel at one or two in the morning. When he wasn't filming, he still had to practice Singing, Guitar, and Five-Step Fist, so his frequency of posting on Weibo had indeed decreased.
The rewards from the dynamic traffic value were stable. He didn't even think about treasure chests; he only received 4 points in basic attributes and 6 points in specialized skills.
It wasn't that he didn't want to strive in this direction, but some traffic was simply unreachable no matter how outrageous his posts were.
Without works, and with insufficient status, no one pays attention. It's that simple.
He couldn't exactly post nude photos, right?
Sigh, Lin Chuyan remembered when he first debuted; back then, he could easily get on the trending searches...
#Lin Chuyan is sick#
#Lin Chuyan went to catch dolls#
#Lin Chuyan says being filial to parents is important#
...
Keep going, young man.
After thinking for a moment, he selected nine photos from the wrap-up album and posted them, editing the text: "Some behind-the-scenes tidbits from filming 'drama'. every day on set was fulfilling, and I learned a lot. Thank you everyone."
As soon as this Weibo post went out, the comment section was much livelier than the previous one.
There were all kinds of people; Lin Chuyan felt it was hard to simply classify them as fans or Haters.
"Wait a moment, Hubby, I'm going to take a shower and lie in bed before slowly admiring them."
"You really know how to enjoy yourself, brother upstairs."
"A nine-grid layout! A long-lost nine-grid! Lin Chuyan, you've finally acted like a human!"
"Fulfilling? Learning? What did you learn? Reading books on set? Hilarious. Posting a few posed photos and Acting pretentious again?"
"Others are filming and you're reading? Trying to cram at the last minute, are you? Can't you be more professional?"
Mosquito Hits Cannon: "Lin Chuyan, finally popped up, huh? Check my homepage."
Lin Chuyan clicked in with a head full of question marks, only to see this person had posted a video on their homepage...
He was doing a handstand against the wall with a washbasin underneath. Someone was helping him wash his hair, and another person was laughing loudly while filming...
Although the video was only ten or twenty seconds long, it showed plenty of sincerity...
Zhuang Xiaowen had actually filmed this video a long time ago but had kept it hidden and hadn't posted it.
Now that he saw Lin Chuyan's new drama had wrapped up, he really couldn't help himself.
Otherwise, he would be too embarrassed to go over and roast him...
Lin Chuyan wanted to laugh at the sight and typed a reply below: "Not bad, you kept your word. You really are my Haters. Come on, go to my Weibo and roast me for a while."
If every Hater could have this kind of perseverance... what need would he, Lin Chuyan, have to worry about not having treasure chests to open?
After thinking about it, he decided to post another Weibo.
He stacked up all the books he had read during this time and took a photo of them.
Caption: "I really have been studying and reading seriously; I've finished reading all of these [Fighting]"
Good grief, from "The Art of Singing" and "Modern Vocal Techniques" that Ruan Xingyu told him to buy, to "Six Lectures on Acting: Creating the Soul of a Character" and "Actor Lines Training" given to him by Li Mujian... it actually looked quite intimidating.
However, it seemed he had been a bit too pretentious this time.
"Bro, are you serious?"
"Hahahaha, you're humorous, bro."
"Lin Chuyan, would you die if you didn't act pretentious?"
"No, I can understand reading books on Acting, but 'The Art of Singing'???"
"Lin Chuyan, you don't think we haven't heard you Singing, right? With that Singing Ability of yours, you still want to continue tormenting the audience?"
"Yanzi, listen to some advice from your brother, don't bite off more than you can chew."
Mosquito Hits Cannon: "Some people just have no self-awareness, lol."
Lin Chuyan wasn't angry, nor was he in a rush to prove himself. He just simply wanted to get roasted...
People like Shi Shilan who followed silently couldn't bring him dynamic traffic value. Whether fans or Haters, let them all get moving.
He picked a fan's comment and replied: "The drama is being filmed, and I'm also practicing Singing. Don't worry, I found a very excellent vocal teacher to learn from. I expect to release songs within the year, you can look forward to it a little."
His phone vibrated; Ruan Xingyu sent a message.
Xingxing: "The photos are nice, what a hardworking idol."
Lin: "[Image]"
Lin: "There's a whole album; the director gave it to me as a gift when we wrapped up."
Xingxing: "I want to see it."
Lin: "Then I'll bring it when we meet."
For some reason, Ruan Xingyu's heart started racing just hearing the word "meet".
She gathered her courage and asked another question.
Xingxing: "So are you going home today?"
Lin: "The production crew booked my flight for tomorrow."
Lin Chuyan was actually feeling a bit nervous inside.
He really hadn't expected that after leaving Beijing to film for two months, the relationship between the two of them would warm up so quickly.
He admitted that he had feelings for Ruan Xingyu now. The only problem was, was Ruan Xingyu a lesbian?
Just because they talked on the phone every day didn't mean she liked him, right? It's better not to be too full of oneself.
Xingxing: "[Image]"
Xingxing: "You're quite popular."
What she sent was, shockingly, that photo of him taking a group picture with many girls.
Lin: "No, it was suddenly arranged by the director when we wrapped up. I didn't really understand it either."
Xingxing: "None that you like?"
Coincidentally, Ruan Xingyu also wanted to know if the other person was gay.
Lin: "?"
Lin: "Like what? The girls on set?"
Xingxing: "Mm."
Fine, Ruan Xingyu admitted this was truly a clumsy question.
Too silly, and too presumptuous.
Lin: "?"
Lin: "A call?"
Xingxing: "Mm."
The call connected.
The atmosphere was somewhat subtle.
Lin Chuyan spoke up: "Why did you suddenly ask that?"
"Fine, sorry."
Lin Chuyan was even more confused: "Why are you apologizing?"
"I don't know either."
"...Ruan Xingyu."
"Hm?"
"Why are you being so silly?"
"No way..." Ruan Xingyu wanted to muster up the aura of an older sister, but the moment the words left her mouth, they changed tone, sounding a bit like Acting coquettish. She quickly added, "Hmph, I've discovered you're really quite rude when you speak now!"
Lin Chuyan didn't take the bait, focusing on knowing when to stop, and replied with a grin: "I don't like the girls on set."
Ruan Xingyu's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but blurt out: "Then what kind of girls do you like?"
[Phew, finally asked it.]
Lin Chuyan answered in a second: "Good-looking ones."
The other side suddenly went quiet.
"Why aren't you talking? Hey, liking good-looking girls is only human nature, right!"
"Hee hee hee, that's pretty good."
Ruan Xingyu was inexplicably happy.
"I thought you would think I was shallow."
"It's alright, hee hee hee. Then besides being good-looking, what do you appreciate most in a girl?"
"Legs!"
Lin Chuyan blurted out.
He regretted it a little after saying it.
However, Ruan Xingyu was not some naive little girl who didn't understand anything. A soft laugh came from the other side of the phone, making Lin Chuyan's ears feel a bit hot.
"Tsk tsk, do you also like black stockings, white stockings, and things like that?"
"It seems you know a lot," Lin Chuyan asked back directly, "Then let me ask you too, what kind of... men do you like?"
He put the emphasis directly on the word "men".
Today he had to know if she was a lesbian!
"Eh, actually I didn't know before either."
"You didn't know? Why?"
Lin Chuyan never expected that even this wouldn't get an answer, but he didn't notice she said "before".
"Because I've never dated anyone..."
"..."
Awesome.
Could it really be that the better-looking someone is, the less likely they are to be pursued?
"This isn't scientific."
"What do you mean?"
"It doesn't make sense. No one pursues you?"
"When I was in school, no one really pursued me. I don't know why, but I felt like they were a bit afraid of me... Now there are some, but I don't like them."
"You don't like them? Why?"
"Mm... just some wealthy people, second-generation rich kids and the like," Ruan Xingyu had always found it a bit funny, "But I'm already very wealthy myself."
"That makes so much sense, I can't refute that."
"However, I know what kind of men I like now." Ruan Xingyu smiled again, her voice containing a very certain tone, "I like someone who can make me laugh, has talent, and can talk to me well. Mm, if they are a bit handsome, that would be even better."
Lin Chuyan's little heart couldn't help but pound uncontrollably.
