CHAPTER 475: CHAPTER 473: THE VERSATILE CP’S CONSTITUTION

The likes and comments on this microblog post shot up rapidly. Wen Qiao flipped through and chose a comment to reply to.

@RabbitFan5678: On behalf of the fans, I want to ask when Qiaoqiao is planning to start dating?

@Wen Qiao replied to @RabbitFan5678: No rush, I need to pick a high-quality tree first. But I think with my beautiful face, I could swing from trees in the forest if I wanted to.

This reply was quite narcissistic, but the netizens took it very well.

After all, she did have the capital to be narcissistic.

Even when she was previously smeared, no one ever attacked her for her looks.

Not long after, Shi Koufan retweeted her post, with a caption—

When you’re ready to swing, let me know so I can move my den.

In the entertainment industry, compared to those solemn statements, this kind of casual joke was even more likely to make the public believe there was nothing between the two.

Because the closer to truth one gets, the more one tries to cover up—that’s human nature.

With Shi Koufan’s retweet of Wen Qiao’s post, the online sentiment also shifted somewhat.

"Have you heard the saying, ’Confidence is friendship, carefulness is love’?"

"Having just one meal together and they’re determined to be dating? How can I share spicy strips with my desk-mate in the future?"

"No way, no way, it’s 1212 and there’s still such feudal thinking? Two good friends can’t have a meal without being accused of dating?"

"Does anyone else think it’s fishy? The love affair was ’premiered’ in the afternoon, and the photos were taken tonight. They’re claiming a relationship without any evidence, seems like a setup, right?"

"If a handsome man and a beautiful woman really got together, they’d be well-matched."

"I also think so. In the first episode, the scene where Shi Koufan and Wen Qiao cooked together in the kitchen was so heartwarming."

"There was Qi Ming before, Fu Jinghen in the middle, and now Shi Koufan, our Qiaoqiao is like a ’universal pairing’ magnet."

When online comments slowly started to cover the positive side, Shen Zai also posted a microblog, with a picture of the three of them taken today. In the photo, Wen Qiao was at the very front, holding up her phone and only showing half of her face, while Shi Koufan and Shen Zai sat across the table, arm in arm, looking at the camera.

@Shen Zai: It’s a movie with three people, yet I don’t even get a name. @Wen Qiao @Shi Koufan

"??? What kind of after-sales service is this?"

"Our Brother Zai is also here."

"Shameless paparazzi, for the sake of sensation, have you excluded our Brother Zai? Is he not worthy of being in the frame?"

"Hahaha, poor Shen Zai, this is the first time I’ve seen paparazzi crop him out of a shot."

Subsequently, Fang Baichen and Qi Ming also retweeted Shen Zai’s post, and their captions shared a similar message—condemning the three of them for meeting privately and not inviting the two of them. They were ready to complain to Director Li and were waiting to punish them in the next episode.

With this, the rumors circulating online about the ongoing cast of "Unexpected" having internal strife fell apart on their own, and the narrative of Shi Koufan stepping over Qi Ming to climb up also gradually disappeared.

Everyone knew that when Qi Ming got angry, he wouldn’t give face to anyone and could lambast a reporter on the spot. If Shi Koufan really stepped over Qi Ming, there was no way he would maintain a superficial peace with Shi Koufan.

In the end, the official microblog of "Unexpected" posted a group photo with the caption—

Everyone’s here, no one left behind. (PS: Director Li is also mad that the three of them had a meal without him. He is already calling on the production team to work overtime, plotting how to get back at the three of them.)
