Trending question on Zhihu: What's it like to date a celebrity?

Anonymous top-voted reply: Thanks for asking. I saw my own name on the trending list more often than I write it myself.

Zhou Guican rose to fame at a young age, and has never had a single romantic scandal.

That is, until Xiu Yu came along and made him break that record.

Xiu Yu is a cellist, a genius of classical music.

Months before she was successfully won over, Xiu Yu and Zhou Guican were complete strangers with no connection whatsoever. Then, for some inexplicable reason, they wore matching outfits and got linked together on the trending list.

Before his new film began shooting, #ZhouGuicanRomance# shot to the top of the trending list in the blink of an eye.

His fans hadn't even had time to fight back before the people involved denied it right away.

The paparazzi refused to give up, staking out the film set for three months. The topic kept coming up again and again, but the female lead was always the same person.

The fans had grown used to it. They didn't even need to open the trending topic, just used the hashtag to post statements.

Once again, the topic hit the top of the list.

That evening, Xiu Yu was invited to attend the music conservatory's graduation ceremony.

Backstage, she ran into Zhou Guican again.

As everyone watched them with curiosity, he walked toward Xiu Yu step by step, reached out his hand, and said with a smile, “Hello, my rumored girlfriend.”

Some time later, the trending topic became: #ZhouGuicanThisTimeItsForReal#.

His devoted fans, on the brink of death from shock, sat bolt upright: What the hell???

The CP fans: The universe is serving up a feast tonight. The ship I love is real!!!
