Chapter 234 Female Simp in Farming Variety Show (42)

Chapter 234: Female Simp on the Farm Show (42)

Their eyes met in the rearview mirror.

When their eyes locked, Tang Qing suddenly smiled and said, "Feng Xingzhou..."

"Right now..."

"I'm looking at you, aren't I?"

Those words instantly calmed Feng Xingzhou’s unease. She whispered, "Just you."

Even though they were still apart, Tang Qing’s words sparked a faint but undeniable tension between them.

The Grand Film Emperor’s grip on the wheel tightened instinctively. His earlier irritation melted away completely!

Instead, under Tang Qing's gaze, a strange warmth of satisfaction surged through him.

That same night, a new hashtag suddenly blew up on Weibo!

#Shocking! Nan Gongjing's Newest Romance Exposed!#

It turned out that paparazzi snapped pics of the cast having dinner together. One leaked shot showed Tang Qing and Nan Gongjing side by side.

Even in the grainy pic, Nan Gongjing’s gaze at her was unmistakably intense.

"Lol, Nan Gongjing’s got a new fling! Hahaha! The king of serial daters..."

"What's so surprising about Nan Gongjing dating? Dude falls for a new girl weekly!"

Indeed, as the industry’s biggest heartthrob, romance was nothing new for him. The reason this made headlines was primarily due to Nan Gongjing's Weibo post.

His post just said, "Welcome."

Despite having dated so many girlfriends, Nan Gongjing rarely posted about them on Weibo—this was the first time.

The cryptic but borderline-confessional post quickly drew netizens' attention:

"Seems like this girlfriend is special!"

"There are other guests in the photo too—is this his way of introducing his new girlfriend to everyone?"

"Ugh! The photo's so blurry! I really wanna know what this girl looks like to make Nan Gongjing post about her..."

Fans dug for every scrap of info about the mystery girl, eventually turning to Pei Chen for answers.

"Hey rich boy, spill—who’s Nan Gongjing dating now?"

What does Nan Gongjing's love life have to do with me?

Pei Chen was busy scheming ways to see Tang Qing when these random Weibo DMs popped up, which he completely ignored.

As he went to trash them, something caught his eye:

More DMs piled in, all grilling him about Nan Gongjing’s love life...

"That show-off’s at it again?" While muttering, Pei Chen glimpsed the photo—

His eyes nearly popped out of his head!

This is...

Tang Qing?

You've got to be kidding me!

No way those two are dating!

And that cryptic post on Nan Gongjing's Weibo...

What’s the deal? They’re not dating—is this some kind of publicity stunt?

"He's doing it on purpose!"

Gritting his teeth, Pei Chen seemed to realize what Nan Gongjing was up to...

A post like this is just asking for misunderstandings.

This is totally a ploy to get Tang Qing’s attention—basically an indirect love confession...

Pei Chen instantly hit 'repost' on Nan Gongjing's Weibo, adding: "Nonsense."

Pei Chen's repost sent the already trending topic into overdrive!

"What does this mean? LMAO, it feels like Pei Chen doesn’t approve of this relationship at all?"

"Nonsense? So Nan Gongjing’s whole relationship thing is fake?"

"Hold up, what kind of drama are these people stirring up now? I’m lost."

...

What followed was even more confusing; Ye Yunyun also forwarded Nangong Jing's Weibo post, with the caption: "Ridiculous nonsense."

"Hey? Ye Yunyun replied too..."

"Strange CPs are increasing, why is there always this strange chemistry between Pei Chen and Ye Yunyun?"

"Does Ye Yunyun mean that the romance is fake?"

...

The entire night was lively on Weibo due to Nangong Jing's post, until the next day when the mystery was finally revealed.

It turned out that Qi Ming had used these individuals' Weibo posts to quickly arrange for editing and release the new guest for the second phase of recording—Tang Qing.

This time, Qi Ming specifically instructed to use a particularly beautiful photo of Tang Qing...

"Is this real? So, the one I've been seeing in pixelated form all this time was actually Tang Qing!"

"What a joke! That village girl?"

"Is your show some kind of transformation program? You're telling me this is Tang Qing?"

...

The photo released showed Tang Qing in her tea-picking appearance.

Dressed in a dark blue long robe, she stood gracefully in the center of the tea garden.

Her formerly greasy twin braids had been reduced to a single loose plait casually resting on her shoulder.

Paired with an indigo headscarf against the backdrop of the green tea fields, the vivid colors blended together in perfect harmony, like a painting...

It was still the same face, but shed of its former meekness. Only then did netizens notice that Tang Qing's fine features were unexpectedly beautiful.

“Wow! Posture makes that much difference?”

“It’s not just posture—her outfit changed too. She looks like… a Republican-era beauty?”

“It’s really her… I recognize this outfit from the live broadcast, but the show deliberately didn’t show her face.”

“So cringe—now I understand why they kept censoring her…”

Netizens suddenly felt their faces burning with shame.

They'd once screamed for Tang Qing to get out of the livestream, then repeatedly spammed the show to sign with the mysterious Master…

And this is how it turned out.

No wonder Qi Ming dragged his feet on signing the contract…

It must've been hard for them to swallow their pride and invite her back.

Amid the chatter, Feng Xingzhou updated his Weibo.

The typically composed Grand Film Emperor, who only ever reposted work-related content, suddenly posted a shot of a huge, perfectly round moon.

“Welcome.”

“Wait... this is identical to Nan Gongjing's post…”

“Where was this taken? The moon looks huge.”

“Probably the mountain where they filmed the show… during recording?”

Netizens quickly compared images and recognized the mountain near Tang Qing’s home. Judging by the angle, it was likely taken from the filming cabin.

The meaning gradually became clear—were Nan Gongjing and Feng Xingzhou both welcoming Tang Qing?

“I noticed before—the guests always got along well with the mysterious Master… but who knew it was Tang Qing?”

“Feng Xingzhou actually posted to welcome her… every fangirl's dream.”

“Ugh… the more I trashed her before, the worse I feel now.”

...

System: *Tsk* These foolish humans!

Still clueless—some posts may say “welcome,” but it's really a competition with Nan Gongjing…

The Grand Film Emperor was clearly copying the same message on purpose.
