Therefore, after recording was finished, the Tan family went backstage to check on Tan Jinsheng. They greeted Tan Jinsheng and left.
However, when they were about to leave, they were stopped by Li Ruhan.
âMr. Tan, Mrs. Tan,â Li Ruhan called.
The Tan family stopped and looked back. They saw Li Ruhan running out.
Because she was wearing high heels and the ground was slippery, she trotted carefully and didnât run fast.
But by the way she ran, people could see her anxiety at a glance.
Her anxious look didnât seem to be an act.
Even Tan Wenci and Wei Zhiqian could tell that she was genuinely anxious.
Unless, Li Ruhanâs acting was extremely well trained.
Now, they were in front of the stage, and there were still many audience members who had not left.
Because of the large audience, there were still some audience members who were waiting in line to leave the stage.
Hearing Li Ruhanâs voice, the audience members who were still in the venue turned to look at her.
Then, it was Friday. The day the program was broadcasted.
âTan Mo and Wei Zhiqian arrived at the Tan family home. Soon, Tan Jinsheng had also returned.
The whole family was watching the live broadcast together.
âAs soon as each singerâs performance ended, Kefengâs official blog, Donghua Satellite TVâs official blog, and I Singâs official blog would immediately release solo singing clips of the singers.
Some singers had tricks up their sleeves, and would do something that would make them trend for various reasons.
âTan Mo was looking at them when she was attracted by one of the trending searches.
(Tan and Li Couple]
Tan Mo immediately became intrigued.
She clicked on it and it turned out to about Li Ruhan and Tan Jinsheng.
There were a lot of videos of them.
The one with the most views was when Tan Jinsheng handed Li Ruhan some water and even unscrewed the cap of the bottle for her.
âHeâs too sweet!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âTan Jinsheng is such a gentleman!â
âThis must be how he was brought up.â
âHe obviously likes Li Ruhan!â
âTan and Li!â
âTan and Li, I love them!â
âAh! I love them so much!â
âDid you guys see the interaction between the two of them? They are so loving in private!â
âYeah, Li Ruhan even cooked beef noodles for Tan Jinsheng.â
âLi Ruhan is a beautiful person with good singing and cooking skills. No wonder Tan Jinsheng likes her.â
âTan and Li, Tan and Li, Tan and Li!â
Tan Mo looked at these and frowned. âBrother, are you and Li Ruhan together? There are a lot of people talking about your relationship. Did you two agree to couple bait?â
âWhat?â Tan Jinsheng was confused. âWhy would you think Li Ruhan and I are together?â
âSee for yourself. Itâs on the hot searches list,â Tan No said.
Tan Jinsheng didnât care about watching the program anymore. He went to the hot searches list. Tan mo said, âItâs the one with Tan and Li.â
The others also went to look at it.
âThe more Tan Jinsheng looked, the more he frowned.
âDid you guys plan for this couple bait?â Tan Wenci looked at Tan Jinshengâs expression and asked.
âYou said that I had to be careful around her. Why would I do that with her?â Tan Jinsheng said, âBesides, I just want to focus on singing. I never thought of couple baiting. As long as my songs are liked by everyone, itâs fine.â
âPlus, she cooked you noodles?â Tan Wenci asked.
âThat was when it wasnât meal time yet, but I was little hungry and wanted to eat something,â Tan Jinsheng said, âBut I donât know anything how to cook noodles. When she saw me like that, she insisted on cooking for me.â
ârefused, but she insisted. She very quickly added noodles to hot water. She even said that she wasnât hungry and couldnât eat the noodles for me. There were cameras around so I couldnât just leave like that. It would look bad on me. It doesnât matter if sheâs misunderstood, but I canât let others
misunderstand me.â Tan Jinsheng said truthfully.
âIt seems like she is doing this on purpose.â Wei Zhigian asked, âWas she that attentive to you before?â
âNo.â Tan Jingi shook his head, âMaybe itâs because we werenât familiar with each other before. Before, she was always polite to me, but we were never close. She usually hung out with more famous seniors and asked them a lot of questions as well.â
Wei Zhigian nodded and said, âNow we can basically confirm that she is using you.â
âWhen we went to watch the recording of the second episodeâ¦â Tan Jinyi said, âAfter it was over, didnât we go backstage to say hello to second brother? After we left, Li Ruhan even chased after us and stopped us.â
âYeah I agree, she was being very strange,â Xu Mingzhen said with a frown.
âthink itâs most likely that she found out that Jinsheng is Tanyueâs young master,â Tan Jingi said, âSheâs using couple baiting with Jinsheng to get more popular. What if she really succeeds? What if she really wins everyone over?â
âWhat should we do? We canât just let her do what she wants, right?â Xu Mingzhen said unhappily, âSheâs disgusting!â
Being used by someone⦠How disgusting!
She clearly had nothing to do with Tan Jinsheng.
âCan we clarify it?â Xu Mingzhen said again.
âHow can we clarify it?â Tan Jingi said helplessly, âLi Ruhan was only couple baiting. She gave the netizens psychological hints to make them think that she has something going on with Jinsheng, But in reality, she never said anything specific. If Jinsheng clarified, people would say that he is making a fuss
out of nothing and that he is being petty.â
âWhatâs more, people would think that he is looking down on Li Ruhan,â Tan Jingi said.
âBesides, all along, regardless of whether this couple bait is one or two sided, thereâs no way to clarify. Itâs the product of the netizensâ entertainment.â Tan Jingi said, âIf Jinsheng clarifies, heâll be the one who gets embarrassed.â
âIf Jinsheng took the initiative to clarify, many netizens, including Li Ruhanâs fans, will jump out and say that Jinsheng is not good enough for Li Ruhan..â
