◎Someone Said, She Covets My Body◎
The ZE Fashion Charity Gala, although it had ended some time ago, still carried lingering heat from this major event where domestic entertainment stars gathered.
Many iconic moments from the gala were repeatedly edited and compiled by marketing accounts, constantly promoted across the internet.
Just as expected, the issue of Song Chan and Li Shuning’s dresses clashing on the red carpet became the hottest topic of the moment, drawing in plenty of netizens to eat the melon.
The entry #Li Shuning Song Chan Red Carpet Dress Clash hung on the Weibo Hot Search for a full three days, with its popularity showing no signs of fading.
Marketing accounts on Weibo seized the hot topic, frantically updating various comparison videos every day. They didn’t just compare their red carpet looks; they also pitted their casual outfits against each other.
Song Chan and Li Shuning both happened to have bright and glamorous features, and their private casual styles were worlds apart.
Where there was comparison, marketing accounts trashed one and hyped the other. During this time, the Weibo Hot Search kept fueling the conflict between the two sides’ fans.
@Old Entertainment Has Something to Say: 【Li Shuning Song Chan Red Carpet Dress Clash PK, Beauty Editor’s Private Wear Completely Crushes the Rising Flower Actress!!!】
Seeing yet another big V marketing account post a compilation of their casual outfit comparisons, Song Chan rubbed her temple in helpless exasperation.
This marketing account had latched onto every possible hot keyword it could cram in. In just half a day, the post had garnered over fifty thousand likes.
The comments section was flooded with fans cursing and flaming each other, while onlookers ate the melon from the front row. Before long, the post shot up to the front ranks of the hot search.
Grapes Ripen in Time: 【Not even gonna talk about faces, our female star’s poise really isn’t something ordinary people can match.】
peach: 【Why not talk about faces? Admit you can’t win on looks, so you settle for second best? Hilarious.】
camellia: 【You marketing accounts are so annoying. We’ve said it a million times—no comparisons, no pitting. Both sisters are beautiful and great. Taking away Chanchan, we don’t ship.】
Si Ling Si: 【Objective take: Casual outfits make Song Chan look fresher and more natural. Li Shuning’s private style is more refined, but which star isn’t? …Feels like that makeup would shine better on stage.】
7ken: 【Speechless. These two get several hot searches a day…】
Song Chan had anticipated the comments section blowing up into a fiery mess, so she had no interest in reading it. She remembered that today was supposed to be the official announcement for Fashion Gentleman in Paris from the crew.
That Fat Uncle truly lived up to being a good friend of the ZE Fashion big boss.
Riding the wave of the ZE Fashion Charity Gala’s heat, they struck while the iron was hot and announced the main cast. ZE Fashion’s official account even reposted the Weibo to help promote it.
Netizens took one look at the lineup of two top idols plus one rising flower actress. Even if the drama’s name was as corny as could be, they could forgive the production team.
Pineapple Sweet and Sour Pork: 【Just saying, couldn’t they come up with a decent name? It’s a fashion drama at least—sounds like it’s heading to the countryside.】
77: 【Sis, don’t sweat the details. Just Su Yicen and Zhou Chiyu cast together is enough to drive me crazy. Paris shoot or actual countryside, I’d chase it either way.】
Ancient Egyptian God of Imperial Emotions: 【Didn’t you see? Fashion special consultant is listed as Song Chan! This lineup is insane. Betting ten bucks—this drama’s gonna explode!】
yang: 【I’m telling you, #Chanyi Mianmian is definitely happening. Watched that live stream start to finish—those little interactions and flirty moves, the like in Cen Cen’s eyes was so obvious!】
Golden Winter Sweet: 【OMG! So Chanyi Mianmian teaming up again? I’m dying from this ship!】
After the drama’s cast announcement, #Chanyi Mianmian shot straight up the hot search again, while the dress clash entry with Li Shuning hadn’t even cooled down yet.
Song Chan knew that during this period, she was destined to be a regular on the recent hot searches.
But she just couldn’t figure out where netizens were getting their CP shipping fuel from. She and Su Yicen had drawn such clear boundaries in front of the camera—how were they still finding sugar points?
Fortunately, no one at her company had noticed anything off. Li Yuchuan had even earnestly advised her to keep her emotions in check on set and not get into it with Su Yicen.
Over the past few days, after Song Chan wrapped up the final touches on the 20th Anniversary Issue,
the big boss forced her into a vacation, telling her to recharge and prepare to join the crew in Paris as the fashion consultant.
When the sudden holiday first hit, Song Chan was all leisurely bliss, thrilled about it.
But after two days of true idleness, all she had left was endless boredom.
There was still time before joining the crew. Su Yicen was swamped with back-to-back schedules, his feet barely touching the ground. Since he’d taken the Fashion Gentleman in Paris gig, he needed to clear his backlog before shoot.
She was left alone at home, just like some idle person—no one even to chat with.
Now that she was off, most of her work had been handed to Qian Ya and Li Yuchuan, who were swamped and complaining nonstop every day. Meanwhile, her bestie Zhou Qining had no time to chat either, ever since she’d started doing live sales streams.
Today was a rare day off for Zhou Qining. She video-called Song Chan right after waking up.
As the video connected, Zhou Qining saw Song Chan sipping fruit wine on screen, her eyes already tinged with a tipsy haze. She couldn’t help teasing her.
“Wow~, looks like you’ve been living the good life at home lately.”
“Looks like Su Yicen has been taking good care of you…”
Hearing that, Song Chan blinked, her long lashes fluttering, making the drunken allure in her pupils even more hazy and seductive.
“Me, relying on him to support me?!”
As she spoke, Song Chan frowned slightly, looking annoyed.
Spotting the frustration in her expression, Zhou Qining asked.
“What’s up, Chanchan? Did Su Yicen piss you off?”
Song Chan sighed helplessly, not wanting to say too much, so she vaguely explained.
“It’s still because of that extra sentence I said to Zhou Chiyu at the gala…”
Seeing her expression like that, Zhou Qining could’ve guessed even if she tried not to. She probed.
“So… Top Idol got jealous?”
Song Chan fell silent without a word, her lips twitching faintly into a smirk. One look was enough for the person on the other end of the screen to read her meaning.
Lately, this Top Star Su had been finding all sorts of excuses to barge into her room every day, refusing to leave once he settled in.
Whether Su Yicen was actually jealous or not, his clinginess alone would earn admiration even from a three-year-old.
Seeing Zhou Qining’s eyes gradually widening with gleaming excitement on screen, Song Chan keenly sensed her thirst for gossip.
She quickly cut in: “It’s nothing, really nothing.”
Double negatives made it an affirmative. How could Song Chan hide her little thoughts from Zhou Qining? She just didn’t want to call her out on it.
She downed the fruit wine in her glass in one go, trying to mask her guilty fluster that way.
For some reason, even though the alcohol wasn’t strong, it hit differently today. She’d only had this much, and she was already feeling buzzed.
She pinched the spot between her brows with her fingers, patted her flushed, drunken cheeks, trying to sober up a bit.
The short video on the tablet had looped countless times already.
Song Chan swiped up, landing on a clip of Su Yicen’s interview from today.
Her fingertip hovered on the screen for a moment. She wasn’t even sure what she was watching; her eyes just couldn’t help lingering on the man’s face.
Right then, the host was asking Su Yicen.
“Teacher Su, everyone knows you pay attention to fan comments. Can you share the most interesting one you’ve seen?”
Su Yicen tilted his head slightly to the side, pausing in thought for a moment before speaking leisurely.
“There really are some interesting ones.”
“Someone said, she covets my body.”
At that, even the ever-composed host couldn’t help but chuckle.
“You must see comments like that all the time, Teacher Su?”
Su Yicen smiled faintly, his dark eyes looking straight into the camera.
“It’s different.”
“Because this fan said it to my face.”
