Wei Zilin tightened his embrace slightly. “Looks like it was a good thing I thought to bring you back for a visit today, so you can see this secret side of me. Otherwise, it’ll keep scaring my girlfriend.”
Xu Moyan truly loved the way he said “My girlfriend”. His tone was gentle and full of love, while also somehow unbelievably proud. It was as though it was such an achievement to have her as his girlfriend.
On the contrary, she should be the one feeling like she lucked out. He was such an extraordinary man, and he could have any girl he wanted.
Still, Wei Zilin could barely sit still for even that short amount of time before he started acting up again. His lips kept pecking her cheek and the corners of her lips, wandering back and forth.
Xu Moyan’s entire body was burning up, and she hurriedly grabbed his arm, imploring him to let go.
“You haven’t slept all night, so you should hurry and get some rest. I’ll go make a cake,” Xu Moyan said hastily. She really was very nervous.
Wei Zilin refused to let go, however. “You said you didn’t sleep well last night either, right? Shall we rest together, then?”
Xu Moyan, “…”
This man was simply too shameless!
Wei Zilin saw the way she glared at him, her face completely red, and he laughed. “Alright, I’ll stop teasing you. You can wake me up once you’re done. To be honest, I haven’t slept for so long that I’m actually no longer that sleepy.”
Regardless, Xu Moyan insisted that he get his rest. Wei Zilin could not persuade her, even though he did not want to waste any time that he could spend with her. Even so, he obeyed her like a good boy and went to catch up on his beauty sleep in bed.
Before Xu Moyan left, though, he added, “None of the rooms at home are off-limits, so you don’t have to hold back. Go wherever you like. There’s a computer in the study too, so you can use it if you’re bored.”
His utter trust in her made Xu Moyan smile widely as she nodded at him.
When Xu Moyan was leaving, she gave his room one last sweeping glance before closing the door behind him. After that, she went to the kitchen and began making that cake.
She proportioned the correct amounts of beaten egg whites and flour, adding in some melted chocolate, salt, and sugar. Next, she put the mixture into a cake mold and placed the entire thing into the oven to bake.
While she was waiting, she whipped up some butter and flavored it with chocolate.
Once all the preparations were done, all that remained was to wait for the cake to finish baking.
Xu Moyan did not have anything else to do, either, so she went to the living room and sat down to wait.
The large floor-to-ceiling glass window took up one side of the walls, allowing the sunlight inside to reach in freely. The whole house was spacious and brightly-lit.
She tilted her head slightly. Even without getting up, she could already see the snow piling up outside. The golden sunlight shone on the snow, and the latter was beginning to melt at a rate too slow to be seen with the naked eye.
This winter afternoon had somehow become quite warm.
Xu Moyan had nothing to do, and she did not know if there was anything good to watch on TV right now, so she did not turn on the TV either.
Although Wei Zilin told her she could go into the study, this was still her first time here. Xu Moyan was too embarrassed to act so freely around here for now, so she sank into the couch and checked Weibo on her phone.
What she saw gave her a right shock. Her fans were increasing at an alarming pace.
She had gained a few followers lately, reaching the 500 thousand mark. While she was not paying attention, however, she had suddenly reached a million.
Judging from the comments, she could tell that these were Yu Linling’s fans who had run over here and followed her as well.
Her OG fans called her “goddess”, and some of them were mutual fans of both her and Wei Zilin.
As for Wei Zilin’s fans who were new to her page, after they followed her, they actually began by calling her Mrs. Yu.
Xu Moyan, “…”
Seriously, what the heck… was Mrs. Yu?
Although she had not expected such a sudden increase in her follower count, she was not too surprised. After all, it only never occurred to her because the morning came with too many surprises of its own.
The first was Wei Zilin’s declaration, and then his dubbing of her video, as well as the official announcement of their relationship. That was definitely a bombshell to their fanbases. After that, she received his call, and then she had to run around to get the ingredients for the cake.
While she was waiting for Wei Zilin at home, her heart was practically in her throat, and she had no idea how to face him naturally.
She had been so occupied by her nervousness that she had no time to think about anything else.
Now, she finally had a moment to breathe. While she was waiting for the cake to bake, she sat in Wei Zilin’s living room, looking at the bright and warm sunlight outside, admitting the soft white snow on the branches. She had quieted down, and that was when she finally remembered their fans.
To be fair, not all of the fans were so magnanimous, openly blessing her relationship with Wei Zilin. There were still some who could not accept it.
Still, that had nothing to do with Xu Moyan. After all, this was the internet, and they did not really know each other. So what if these fans could not accept it? What could they do?
Xu Moyan was about to turn off the app when she suddenly saw a comment.
“Ohmagerd, what did I see in Yu Linling’s and Silent Words’ followers lists! It’s not just me, right?! Who the heck is Yu Linling, and why does he have so many top-class dreamboats following him??”
This comment caught Xu Moyan’s eye, and she checked her followers list. However, she had too many followers now, so it was not easy to check. That was why she gave up and went to Yu Linling’s Weibo instead.
However, Yu Linling had even more followers than she had, while he still only followed one account in return. It was just like this morning, that number “1” remaining unchanged.
Xu Moyan had no choice but to return to her account. This time, she added a filter and sorted her followers according to how many followers they had in descending order. With that, she immediately saw the accounts that were both familiar and unfamiliar to her.
There was Han Zhuoli, Nan Jingheng, Qi Chengzhi, Qi Chenglin, Wei Ziqian, Wei Ziqi, Yan Beicheng, and Chu Zhaoyang.
Of all these people, she had only really met Yan Beicheng, and that was because of Lin Chu, too. She had been avoiding the rest.
When Lin Chu moved and they attended her housewarming, Xu Moyan and Zheng Yuntong had actually chosen to go at a time when those men would not be there. After all, they did not know each other, so there would not be much to talk about. The situation would only be awkward for both sides, so both she and Zheng Yuntong chose to evade them.
Now, however, all of them were following her at the same time.
Xu Moyan did not really know what to do with this. She went to Han Zhuoli’s Weibo and saw his newest post, which was coincidentally published just a while ago.
Han Zhuoli: Lil Sis-in-law, you have no idea how shameless Xiao Lin’zi is. He called me at 3 am last night, waking me up and forcing me to do the after-effects for his video. He even demanded that I get it done within an hour! Who the heck could I ask to help me with it at that hour? So I had no choice but to call Luo Pingsheng.
At the end of the post, he even tagged her account, Silent Words.
Xu Moyan, “…”
When he said Luo Pingsheng, did he mean that famous cinematic effects supervisor she was thinking about?
When it came to the post-production process, especially in terms of the special effects, local movies could not hold a candle to Hollywood’s realism, even though they were utilizing the same technology. There was, however, one exception, and that was Luo Pingsheng.
That was why most of the big-budget local movies were handed to him. Nevertheless, he only had one team, and his resources were limited. He could not handle every single movie.
Still, every movie that he did accept never disappointed in the effects department.
If he was the man Han Zhuoli had gone to, just so they could perfect her little cooking video, then that would totally be a waste of his talents. Many movie-making companies had to line up for his number, and even then they may not be able to hire him. Such a man had been rudely awakened in the middle of the night by a simple call from Han Zhuoli.
Wei Ziqian: Even Wei Zilin found a partner now. I’m really worried about you, Zhuo’zi. Are you sure you have the time to be talking about that? @Silent Words.
Xu Moyan, “…”
She had no idea why they tagged her in this, too.
Nan Jingheng: Sis-in-law, do you wanna voice a character in Massacre OL? There’s gonna be a new dungeon, and we’re adding a new NPC: Qi Shaofeng’s lover, Qing Siyu. @Silent Words.
Nan Jingheng’s declaration ended up throwing the fans of Massacre OL into a frenzy.
“There’s a new dungeon coming!”
“Yesss!”
“The game’s level cap should be increased too, right? Right now the cap is at Level 50, and I’m almost maxed out, but there are still a ton of quests and dungeons I haven’t tried yet.”
“I can’t believe President Xiao Nan leaked the news before the official announcement.”
Xu Moyan was not too bothered. She just assumed Nan Jingheng was here to join the fun.
As for Yu Linling’s side, his fans were already trying to figure out his identity.
“Who could our Great Lord be? He just started dating, and now all these hot top dogs are coming out of the woodwork. It sounds like they’re really close to him.”
“Come to think of it, back then during that YY Event, there was an interview with our Great Lord and he said he was only voicing the Massacre OL movie and game as a favor for a friend. And here I thought he had a friend working at a company, but by the looks of this, his friends are actually Han Zhuoli and Nan Jingheng.”
After that, the fans began tagging Nan Jingheng and Han Zhuoli, begging them to say who Yu Linling really was.
The men ignored that, of course.
Xu Moyan was about to follow them too. After all, they had followed her first, and she would be rude not to return the favor.
Just then, however, she received an incoming call from Lin Chu.
Xu Moyan knew that she had to be asking about Xu Moyan’s relationship with Wei Zilin, so she took her phone to the balcony.
