Chapter 617: Chapter 2: The Whole Internet Ships Me with My Ex-Boyfriend
The third trending search term was: #Ancient Water Village Farmstay Lady Boss!#
Rolling back to last night’s highlight moments from the show.
After a whole string of red, bold bullet comments floated across the screen, Gu Yuan’s face appeared on camera.
She appeared in front of the camera as a total nobody.
At that moment the bullet comments went completely nuts, one after another, and even popped up a yellow bold one: [Place your bets, hands off the table, guess who this Fairy is~~~~]
Comment: [Damn, Fairy looks so good. I hereby unilaterally announce that Fairy is my dream girl.]
Comment: [So real fairies kill with their face alone.]
Comment: [Where did the production team find such a gorgeous Fairy?]
Comment: [Was this a last-minute cameo, or is she that little girl’s mom? Damn this face is absolutely insane, I’m on my knees begging sis to debut on the spot.]
Comment: [Does anyone know Fairy’s Weibo or any social account? If you do, hurry up and @ her, I need to follow her at lightning speed!!!]
Comment: [Being pretty is fine, but there’s no need to be this breathtaking.]
Comment: [Gotta say Desired Ecology is getting better and better at doing surprises, they’ve got us completely hooked. I could take another dozen faces like this and still not be tired. Even if it’s just for one day, I want to live with this face and see how fun life is as a beauty, hahaha.]
Comment: [Is sis’s biggest regret that she can’t kiss her own face? Hahaha I really want to have that kind of regret too.]
Comment: [Yiyi and Fu Yao are probably crying their eyes out in the bathroom. You all really fall for everyone you see. But for real, this new face’s looks are no joke, the production team is really playing with fire.]
Comment: [Haha I’m scared you’ll all gang up on me if I say this, but I think only this level of looks can be CP’d with Chi Yu. Except Fairy seems to already be a mom; that super pretty little girl just now is Fairy’s daughter.]
Gu Yuan’s appearance basically blew up the bullet comments.
Even some netizens who usually don’t bother sending comments all came online to spam them, mainly because Gu Yuan’s face was just too stunning. From the moment she showed up, plenty of people were already taking screenshots or screen-recording.
And a ton of people had already gone to the official Desired Ecology Weibo to yell.
[You there, Ecology?]
[Hurry up and @ Fairy out here, I’m begging on my knees!!!]
[Is Fairy’s level of beauty actually real? Hurry and @ sis out, I’ll be her first fan.]
[Don’t tell me she’s really married. I saw loads of people in the comments saying that little girl was Fairy’s kid. Damn, I’m crying, feels like I just went through a breakup.]
[It really is Fairy’s kid!! The kid called her mom, damn, my youth is over...]
Probably not even the production team or the video platform expected Gu Yuan’s appearance to cause such a huge sensation.
Yi Shu, who was cracking sunflower seeds while watching the new episode of Desired Ecology, naturally did not miss any of those glorious bullet comments. He had already been sure that if President Gu appeared on camera it would definitely be explosive, but back then the director said President Gu wanted her shots cut out, so they couldn’t air Gu Yuan’s footage, nor any of her interactions with Chi Yu.
Yi Shu had felt it was a huge pity at the time.
A pity that President Gu’s scenes were gone, and that all the shots of President Gu together with Chi Yu were gone too. Those shots would’ve absolutely given the show way higher view counts than expected.
But after feeling sorry, when he heard what the director said, Yi Shu switched to another angle of thinking.
Not going public was also a good thing for Chi Yu; otherwise a lot of fans would definitely ditch him.
Then he’d have to change his career route.
He never expected that later on he’d get a call from the production side saying that President Gu and Chi Yu’s footage and the scenes of them interacting with their daughter had all been kept in. The first thing Yi Shu said at the time was: "You’re dealing with President Gu here. If you don’t want trouble, you’d better not take it upon yourself to decide that."
The production side said, "We didn’t take it upon ourselves. We got a pass. President Gu gave it."
Yi Shu was shocked. "President Gu relented?"
Production: "Of course. If President Gu didn’t give us the pass, how would we dare air it? I’d already finished almost all the editing over here. When President Gu finally relented I was flattered, but she did give a few instructions."
"What instructions?" Yi Shu asked.
Production: "Why should I tell you?"
Yi Shu: "...Then why did you even tell me about this?"
Production: "Just for fun."
Yi Shu: "..."
What the production team didn’t say was that Gu Yuan had instructed them to keep the "ex-boyfriend/ex-girlfriend" labels and that was enough, because "ex-husband/ex-wife" didn’t sound very nice. If fans suddenly found out Chi Yu had been married, it would probably have a certain impact on his popularity with casual viewers.
