Chapter 106: A Note of Shame

Page (1/3)
The building-sweeping event was in full swing. Lu Yuxiu and Lin Xi split from Wen Jin and Jiang He to cover two different floors, handing out employee perks as part of their promotional tour.

Lu Yuxiu and Lin Xi got off on the 20th floor, while Jiang He and Wen Jin went to the 22nd. They each live-streamed their building sweep before regrouping on the 25th floor for an interview.

The 20th floor was crammed with station staff, packed so tightly that when the elevator doors opened there wasn't even room to set foot. Nearly everyone was crowded at the door, holding up phones to take pictures and cheering excitedly.

Lin Xi raised a hand to cover her mouth, a little startled by the huge crowd before her.

"Everyone, everyone, let's calm down a little! Make a path for God Xiu and Xixi!" the staff member escorting the two called out loudly.

"Let's go." The staff opened the way. Lu Yuxiu walked in front, reaching back to hold Lin Xi's hand firmly, carefully shielding her as they edged forward.

Lin Xi was almost pressed against Lu Yuxiu's back, feeling completely secure, clinging to him like a little bird.

Onlookers were so thrilled they nearly took off. Ahhh, amazing—they actually got to see the living God Xiu and Xixi, and watch them feed everyone dog food in public!

"The Emperor and Empress CP are handing out employee perks!" The staff brought up two big crates of milk tea.

Lu Yuxiu and Lin Xi handed out cup after cup to the staff around them, and the smile never left Lin Xi's face.

Everyone was so enthusiastic that she got caught up in the excitement, passing out one cup after another. A few girls desperately stuffed envelopes, plushies, and such into Lin Xi's hands, and she gladly accepted. But soon there was so much that she couldn't hold it all, and Lu Yuxiu noticed and took some off her hands.

In the end, though, Miya quietly took them all away.

As for the truly crazy ones, it was the staff on Lu Yuxiu's side. The entire floor was filled with the screams of these fangirls. After all, Lu Yuxiu rarely appeared at any event; seeing him in person was harder than reaching the sky. And now he was right in front of them, handing out milk tea—how could they not go wild?

At last, the two finished handing out all the perks with great difficulty and went up to the 25th floor to meet Jiang He and Wen Jin for a live-streamed interview.

The four of them sat neatly in a row, the two women in the middle. While waiting for the staff to set things up, Lin Xi had no idea the livestream had already started.

She looked at Lu Yuxiu and demanded, "Did you eat lunch? Don't forget everything again when you get busy."

"I ate." Lu Yuxiu laughed indulgently, giving her little hand a squeeze.

"Waaaah!" The comments exploded. "Hahaha, is little Xixi worried about our God Xiu? They're publicly sprinkling sugar! Look at their hands! They really don't treat us as outsiders!"

"I suspect God Xiu is definitely going to be whipped! Little Xixi has him completely under control!"

"This couple has always seemed amazing to me—both are top movie stars, and when they went public, they didn't get unfollowed, mocked, or attacked. It's a miracle in the Chinese entertainment industry! They even got fans' understanding and blessings. Their relationship is too happy, I'm so jealous."

"Everyone, our livestream has already started," the host said with a sly smile.

Lin Xi, like a startled bird, snatched her hand back in a flash. With a perfectly composed face, she sat up straight facing the camera, even flashing a sweet smile.

"Hahaha." This whole sequence stunned Lu Yuxiu. The fans burst out laughing and shouted: so cute.

God Xiu raised an eyebrow at Lin Xi: Are you okay? You seem to have... a big problem (in a very low voice).

"Alright, let's start the interview. Welcome the four main creators of *Prosperous Era* to our television station for promotion. Please each recommend this drama to us~"

Jiang He spoke first, carelessly saying, "Start binge-watching! Watch the Emperor and Empress CP sprinkle sugar in every way!"

Everyone laughed. Jiang He was undoubtedly the mood maker.

Wen Jin also smiled, then said with a serious face, "I hope everyone supports *Prosperous Era*—it's absolutely sweet and doting, you'll get hooked!"

"Okay, over to Xixi," the host continued.

"Hmm..." Lin Xi said, looking thoughtful. "I took this role because the female lead isn't a mindless, naive sweetheart. She's cool and confident, highly skilled in martial arts. That's what moved me. I believe the audience will enjoy it too~"

The host couldn't help agreeing: "It seems our Xixi has her own insights. And what about our God Xiu?"

For a moment, all eyes were on Lu Yuxiu. With a calm expression and unruffled tone, he said, "The romance line is worth watching."

"Oh hoho~~" At those words, everyone lost their composure. The comments scrolled by:

— God Xiu personally feeding us dog food! This is a once-in-a-millennium event, wuwuwu. My youth must be happy!

— No more words, just give me ten episodes at once! Two episodes a day isn't enough!

The host suppressed her inner excitement and continued asking, "First little question: What do you think of the CP names fans gave you—'Emperor and Empress' and 'Skyward Roar'?"

Lin Xi pursed her lips in a smile and said slowly, "I think 'Emperor and Empress CP' was definitely coined by fans of the original novel, because at the end of the book they become emperor and empress, so it just caught on."

But the host smiled meaningfully. "Xixi only got half of it. I have the fans' explanation here: it's because God Xiu and Xixi are both the top male and female stars in the entertainment industry, meeting and joining hands at the peak—that's why it's called the 'Emperor and Empress CP'!"

Lin Xi's mouth fell slightly open at that, her face full of surprise.

The comments were full of pride:

"Nice, nice. This batch of fans has truly widened their horizons! Move aside, let the professionals handle it. Non-combatants please evacuate!"

"Hahaha, look at Xixi's stunned little expression, too funny~"

"They really think too highly of us. We don't deserve it~" Lin Xi's voice wavered a little as she spoke.

The host laughed. "How could that be? You do deserve it. Then how do Jiang He and Wen Jin feel about the CP name 'Skyward Roar'?"

"Hiss—" Jiang He looked rather troubled. "I think it's because of the character names, Qi Tian and Feng Changge, right?"

"Not entirely!" The host curled her lips and shook her head meaningfully.

"I know!" Wen Jin answered first, teasing, "Because Qi Tian is always roaring in the drama."

"That's right!" The host nodded firmly.

"Ah?!" Jiang He's face contorted into a mask of pain. "So that's it! Am I still on 2G internet?"

The livestream room burst into laughter.

"……"

The host asked many more questions, finally touching on a topic that netizens were all interested in.

"May I ask, what nicknames do God Xiu and Lin Xi have for each other in their phones? You can't just make something up to brush us off—we'll check your phones right here!" The host went all out for the fans' benefit.

For a second, Lin Xi felt dazed. Oh no, oh no. The nickname he had for her was way too embarrassing! She was definitely going to be ridiculed... Her image!
