The entire venue was in an uproar.
The barrage on the live stream exploded as well.
ãOMG?! What did I just hear?!ã
ãWhat?! Itâs him!!!ã
ãThis is too shocking, I need to take a moment, what the hell?!ã
ãWhy is it frozen? What happened? Donât scroll too fast, I canât even see anything!ã
ã#He Zhou goes public with Jiang Yeâs relationship#!! Iâm betting five cents that this will be the number one trending topic! Iâm going to make this go viral!ã
Jiang Ye was also stunned.
She looked at He Zhouâs profile, and the round-about words she had just thought of instantly vanished from her mind.
She did not know where he got the suit, he held her hand with unwavering confidence, and he really did look like a groom attending a wedding.
It matched perfectly with her wedding dress look from the concert.
Jiang Yeâs heart was pounding, she was even more nervous than when she was facing the media alone.
The reporters on the scene were all excited.
Although He Zhou had been very low-key these past few years, hardly appearing on screen, his status as a top music producer in the industry was undeniable. If these media outlets didnât even recognize him, they might as well not be in the industry.
The top idol in Chinese entertainment and the top music producer in the industry announcing their relationship, wow, the number one entertainment news of the year is already booked!
The reporters, eager for their year-end KPI, were all eager to ask questions.
"What do you mean by that?! Are you announcing your relationship?"
"Are you Jiang Yeâs secret boyfriend?"
He Zhou patiently corrected the reporter, "It wasnât a secret."
"From this moment on, itâs a public relationship."
The entire venue erupted again, it was a complete mess.
The security guards in the front row had to work hard to stop the media from shoving their microphones in Jiang Ye and He Zhouâs faces.
"So, is this an announcement?!"
"Then, when did you two get together?"
"It seems like youâve known each other for a long time, right? Have you been hiding it from everyone?"
Jiang Ye was about to say something, but He Zhou gently squeezed her hand.
Then she heard He Zhou speak before her.
"Yes, Jiang Ye and I have been friends for a long time."
"But we made the decision to be together recently."
"Jiang Ye is a responsible person, I thought we could wait until the relationship was more stable before going public, but she said that if she was in a relationship, she would tell everyone, and she did."
He Zhou faced the media, his eyes gentle and firm.
He had hardly ever spoken so much when answering questions in front of the camera.
When he was competing, it was a miracle if the interview staff could get more than ten words out of him.
But here and now, he stood calmly in front of the camera, holding Jiang Yeâs hand, answering every question, whether it was friendly or challenging.
The fingertips that He Zhou held in his palm were trembling slightly.
He was such a low-key person, and the two times he chose to stand in the spotlight, it seemed, were both for her.
The last time was to find her.
And this time, it was to accompany her.
It was as if all his courage in life was used on her.
Seeing that He Zhou was good-tempered, the mediaâs questions became even more excessive.
"Did you know about Jiang Yeâs concert this time? Did she tell you beforehand?"
"Who pursued who?"
"Did you spend New Yearâs Eve together this year?"
This time, Jiang Ye didnât let He Zhou speak again.
She smiled and said half-jokingly, "This friend is so eager to know the details of our relationship, are you shipping us? Then, you can contact my studio and schedule an exclusive interview to talk about it."
"But for now, all I can tell you is."
Jiang Ye looked ahead.
Dozens of cameras were pointed at her, and the flashing lights never stopped.
She smiled, with a brave pride, "His name is He Zhou, and heâs the person Iâve decided to spend my life with."
â¢â¢â¢
Because of this unexpected event, the group interview was extended by almost half an hour.
When the staff came to announce the end, the media outlets were still reluctant to leave, regretting that they had not gotten more information.
Jiang Ye and He Zhou left the stage.
When they returned to the dressing room, Jiang Ye sat down and covered her face with her hand.
He Zhou squatted down next to her and smiled gently, "Are you angry?"
"No."
Jiang Yeâs eyes were red, "It was an accident, why didnât you tell me?"
He had even gone to borrow clothes, he had clearly planned to make his entrance this way before she was ready to have the interview.
He Zhou laughed, "âItâs more surprising if itâs sudden.â"
Jiang Ye was stunned for a moment before she remembered that it was what she had said to He Zhou before.
"I thought, since it was going to be discovered eventually, I wanted to be the one to say it."
"Itâs not fair for you to bear all the pressure just because youâre a celebrity, and Iâm not."
He Zhou said, "I said I wanted to stand by your side, to face it together."
"⦠Youâre so silly."
Jiang Ye leaned down, quietly looking into his eyes for a moment, then she said with tears in her eyes, "Okay."
"I just announced it to the whole world, youâre the person Iâve decided to spend my life with. If you run away, youâre going to be tied to me for the rest of your life, okay?"
Her long hair hung down, falling on He Zhouâs hand.
He Zhou picked up a strand, then kissed it, "As you command, Your Majesty."
â¢â¢â¢
After a brief moment of tenderness, Jiang Ye finally had to face her social media messages.
Although she had put her phone on silent, it hadnât stopped buzzing from then until now.
Jiang Ye opened it and looked at the messages one by one.
Most of them were blessings from friends in the industry.
Of course, the most outrageous ones were from her five-person group chat, as soon as she opened it, even the group name had been changed to ãHappy Wedding Day, Jiang Ye!ã, and the messages had been flooded to 99+.
Jiang Ye pulled down.
These four people had gone from being shocked at first, to quickly discussing how much money they should give as a gift, then they started talking about what they should name their future children.
Lin Zui even tagged Shen Zhiyi and said that if her crocodile was still around, it could be given to Jiang Yeâs child to play with, it would be a kind of inheritance.
Jiang Ye: "..."
This was too fast.
Jiang Ye thought for a moment and popped up in the group, ã?ã
As soon as she appeared, the group, which had been talking about childrenâs toys, instantly changed the topic.
Cheng Zhen: ãAh!!!! You didnât tell us you were in love!!! Jiang Ye!!! Are you human!!!ã
Shen Zhiyi: ãWuwuwu, congratulations! 999999!ã
Cheng Zhen: ãI donât care about anything else, can I be a bridesmaid? Can I catch the bouquet? QAQ I want to be in love too.ã
Tan Meng: ã⦠Youâre only good for this kind of thing.ã
Lin Zui: ãYeah, if youâre going to be anything, be the big one, Iâve already reserved the position of godmother, no one can take it from me.ã
Jiang Ye: "..."
It was both funny and touching.
She wiped her tears with the back of her hand and sent a message.
ãWho said you can only be a bridesmaid or a godmother?ã
ãIt depends on your performance:)ã
And He Zhou also looked at his phone messages.
Compared to Jiang Yeâs, he had far fewer messages, except for friends in the industry, it was his former college roommate Ren Hang who sent him a message.
ãDamn, your goddess went public with her relationship, my youth is over!ã
ãBy the way, are you two from the same company? Do you have any industry gossip to share? I want to see who the lucky pig is that got to have our cabbage!ã
An hour later.
Ren Hang sent dozens of question marks.
ãï¼ï¼ï¼ï¼ï¼ï¼ï¼ï¼ã
ã???? OMG?ã
He Zhou remembered that Ren Hang was Jiang Yeâs father fan.
He smiled slightly and replied with a message, ãYes, father-in-law, itâs me.ã
Ren Hang: "???"
He Zhou: ãYou donât have to give me a gift, thank you for the tickets you bought for me back then.ã
Ren Hang: "..."
Damn!
The Weibo hot search list had been repaired with great difficulty.
But when He Zhou came out and announced it, it crashed again.
Programmer: "..."
Can you celebrities please be considerate of working people! Can you!
The forum also crashed.
The melon-eating netizens finally managed to get back in, and they wanted to post a thread to discuss whether Jiang Ye going public with her relationship would have a huge impact on the entertainment industryâs traffic.
But as soon as they logged out, the entire homepage was filled with CP shipping.
Passerby: "???"
ãHow pay, Iâm tired of saying it!!!ã
ãTheyâre a perfect match, Iâm dead from shipping!ã
ãSOS! This Zhou Si Ye Xiang CP fan still canât believe it, I shipped them so hard and it actually came true!! Iâm dead, Iâm dead, Iâm dead!!!ã
ãForward this Zhou Si Ye Xiang couple, your forced CP might be real too!ã
ãAh! Iâve been shipping this couple since eight years ago! I thought the best ending would be the big star and her dedicated songwriter!! Who would have thought! Help! Iâm dead!!!ã
ãJust a passerby, have these two interacted before?ã
ãHereâs a link to He Zhouâs ãBest Composerã show from eight years ago. At the time, this girl with a keen eye and a magnifying glass thought that He Zhou clearly had a one-sided crush on Jiang Mei, and his final speech was something that only those who didnât watch it didnât ship! Ship it!ã
ãIt seems like He Zhou has been chasing her for eight years, respect.ã
Melon-eating netizens quickly found the show He Zhou participated in eight years ago and started analyzing the interaction shots of the two that were released in the show frame by frame.
They thought that was the beginning, but then they heard He Zhou say in the show that he had liked someone for a long time, and they were instantly convinced.
ãThis CP fanâs hands are shaking from digging for sugar. I have a feeling that the person heâs talking about is Jiang Ye.ã
ãMaybe! Didnât they just get to know each other not long ago?ï¼ï¼ã
Melon-eating netizens quickly followed the trail.
The internet has a memory.
The orphanage where Jiang Ye used to live was dug up when she was on the talent show.
Melon-eating netizens flipped through the records from that time, and in the photo of the orphanage raising funds from society that was dug up when Jiang Yeâs identity was revealed, they found a person who looked like a young He Zhou next to a person who looked like a young Jiang Ye.
ãOMG, Iâm really shocked this time.ã
ãDamn, damn, damn, theyâre childhood sweethearts!! You two are really good at keeping secrets!ã
ãTurns out everything was foreshadowed, Iâm dead from shipping.ã
ãOnce again, I admire the skills of melon-eating netizens, you guys dug up this kind of serpentine love story.ã
ãJust a passerby, is this a couple who escaped from Jinjiang (a website for Chinese romance novels)?ã
ãWuwuwu, two little orphans from the orphanage, one became a big star and the other became a producer, and they ended up together, Iâm really dead from shipping.jpg.ã
ãI have no words, I can only offer blessings, get married and let me know when you need a gift.ã
â¢â¢â¢
After the announcement.
Jiang Ye thought she would still be affected more or less, but her work actually increased.
She even received invitations from various programs, wanting her to take He Zhou to participate in love variety shows.
Jiang Ye couldnât help but laugh.
Although they werenât two top idols dating, their popularity was even higher than two top idols dating.
The CP chart went straight to number one.
The slogan was, "If youâve never shipped a real couple, donât you feel sorry for yourself?".
The ãBest Composerã show that He Zhou and Jiang Ye participated in was even edited into a masterpiece by CP fans.
ãI thought my sugar was garbage, but it turned out to be gold!!!ã
ãReal couples are awesome!ã
ãIâm so dead from shipping, I was just a passerby before, but now Iâm in the pit 5555.ã
ãThe children are starving, help! Can Zhou Si Ye Xiang come out and feed me?ã
But unfortunately, Jiang Ye had no intention of using her relationship to gain any popularity.
Because after that announcement, Jiang Ye never appeared with He Zhou at any of her work events.
And the next time everyone heard about them, it was when Jiang Ye announced her wedding.
