Finding Love Through Fandom [Entertainment Industry]

[Showbiz] [Secret Crush] [Sweet Romance]

For the first eighteen years of his life, Qi You was the perfect example of "blessed with good looks, cursed with brains." His face was good enough to debut as the group's visual, but his acting was so terrible that Beijing Film Academy could practically be seen fleeing overnight with its school sign.

"The Shame of Beijing Film Academy" topped every blacklist across the internet, yet his own fan club's mom fans still stood their ground on the fan forum: "Even if our baby can only pose, he's still the Hermes of pretty faces!"

Qi You's life KPI was to vote for his idol, boost his rankings, fight antis, and control the comments. He was determined to be the most dedicated human fan sign in showbiz. Before joining the cast, he stared at Cheng Zhou's photo on his phone and swore, "This time, I have to play a classy casual fan! I absolutely can't let big brother realize I'm a hardcore fan-site photographer!"

Instead, the moment filming began, his attempt to act "like they weren't close" came across as "playing dead." Even the extras' boxed lunches had more emotion than he did.

After seven years of tearing up the entertainment industry, Cheng Zhou thought he'd already cultivated the easygoing attitude of a top-tier star who wanted everyone to "stay the hell away from me."

The beautiful junior who suddenly appeared on the new set had a first-look expression as deadly as Thanos snapping his fingers, her face practically saying, "Back, back, back!" Cheng Zhou thought to himself: Is this kind of "don't talk to strangers" etiquette in fashion now?

Then Qi You was suddenly wandering around the set with milk tea in hand, like a walking Doraemon pocket, bringing taro boba to the crew aunties and mango pomelo sago to the lighting guys. Even delivery drivers passing by managed to score a cup.

Cheng Zhou waited hopefully for ages, then watched helplessly as the other man performed a "teleport" right in front of him, hugging an empty milk tea box and smiling as harmlessly as could be.

The top-tier star's dignity shattered into pieces. He sneered on the outside: "Who wants this cup of industrial sugar water?" But behind the scenes, he frantically scrolled through Qi You's fan forum on Weibo, trying to dig up clues about "why Qi You has it in for me."

You can't keep the truth bottled up forever, and people can't hide what they feel for long.

Good news: Qi You's secret identity was exposed.

More good news: photos of the two of them kissing were posted online.

Well, then. You two can come out and explain yourselves.
