Chapter 74
At the beginning of another year.
Just as the year began, a shocking scandal broke out in the entertainment industry. A lucky marketing account had completed its KPI for the entire year in advance.
@Explosive Big G: According to reliable sources, Meng Huaizhi and Shen Wu secretly went to the Civil Affairs Bureau last month. The editor originally thought the two were secretly getting married, but unexpectedly, they were handling a divorce! The top-tier singer’s abstinent persona has stood for many years, but he was actually married a long time ago? Bringing his hidden marriage partner on a variety show to create hype, and then divorcing after the hype, won’t your way of making dirty money disappoint your fans?
Melon-eating passersby loved to see the scandals of artists’ houses collapsing, especially a clean top-tier star like Meng Huaizhi. Before long, two trending topics topped the list, respectively #Meng Huaizhi’s divorce# and #Meng Huaizhi’s house collapse#.
Meng Huaizhi’s CP fans and solo stans spontaneously controlled the comments. When new passersby clicked into the trending topic’s page, what they saw were mostly such comments:
[Stop spreading rumors. Even if the whole world has an earthquake, my ge’s house will not collapse.]
[The two of them went to the Civil Affairs Bureau, right? How could they be divorcing? If the two of them divorced, there would be no real couple in the entire entertainment industry.]
[Exactly, when did they get married? How come I don’t know? They’re not even married yet, and you’re spreading rumors about their divorce?]
[My relative is an employee of the Dongcheng Civil Affairs Bureau and also told me that a celebrity went to handle divorce procedures a while ago. All the employees who knew had signed a confidentiality agreement and were not allowed to tell anyone…]
This marketing account “Explosive Big G” had gotten an accurate and true melon. These marketing accounts that lived off the privacy of celebrities often walked on the edge of the law, but they could not break the law and could not really expose the privacy of the Civil Affairs Bureau’s clients.
Releasing the photos of Meng Huaizhi and Shen Wu entering and leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau was not a conclusive piece of evidence.
However, for an artist with an overly clean private life like Meng Huaizhi, just a little bit of dirty water could cause countless heated discussions. Those with ulterior motives would eat melon and take the opportunity to make a fuss, and the rumors would spread, completely forgetting how tolerant they were of those male stars who were exposed for their chaotic private lives every three days.
[I have a question, but it’s only been half a year since Huai-ge’s confession, right? Getting married and divorced in half a year? Don’t make it up like that.]
[I think this revelation might be true. Has Meng Huaizhi ever been so special to anyone before? Everyone knows what his personality is like. He can’t possibly create a CP with someone he has no relationship with. If the other person was already his partner, at least before he was on the variety show, then it would make sense.]
[Stop acting. First, look at the brand of the Super Topic you’re wearing. Slandering Huai-ge won’t help your own rotten mud. Just so you know.]
[I can accept Huai-ge dating, but I really can’t stand a secret marriage… I’m unfollowing…]
[TBH, Huai-ge has never set up a single persona, right? He has always maintained a polite distance from other artists, and he didn’t say the abstinent persona himself. It’s all you guys who are imagining it. In fact, he’s been chaste because he already has a partner. What’s with saying you can accept him dating? Stop dreaming and wake up!]
[Everyone, calm down. Didn’t Huai-ge say at the concert last time that Wuwu has liked him for longer than we have? They’ve always liked each other. We’re all here because we like Huai-ge. Can’t we just wish him happiness?]
[+1, Huai-ge is so popular now. To be honest, I think a secret marriage is something he would do. Otherwise, Wuwu would see him getting more and more popular, and so many fans would like him, and he would definitely be insecure.]
[Ahhhhhh, I don’t believe the two of them will get a divorce!!]
[I think a secret marriage is normal. A divorce is a real house collapse. I’m waiting for a response.]
When Shen Wu saw these heated discussions, he didn’t know what to say for a long time.
If it was a rumor, then the secret marriage was indeed true, and the divorce was also true. There was a hint of reasonableness in these ridiculous speculations.
After going to handle the divorce procedures, Shen Wu only then knew that a divorce would also be issued with a small red book.
The two identical small red books were placed together, one with “Marriage Certificate” printed on it, and the other with “Divorce Certificate.” It was quite interesting.
The temperature in the capital city in March had not yet warmed up, but Nan Island, which was in the tropics, had already stepped into summer.
Shen Wu was lying on the table in a short-sleeved shirt, playing on his phone. The sound of footsteps approached from behind. He turned his head to the side and saw Meng Huaizhi close the large floor-to-ceiling window facing the sea and then put a blanket on him.
Only then did he ask, “What are you looking at?”
Shen Wu didn’t know if it was the blanket that was hot or the arm that was hugging him through the blanket that was burning. His cheeks were faintly feverish, and his voice was also muffled, “Gege, your house has collapsed.”
“Mm,” Meng Huaizhi’s expression was calm. “You should be standing in the ruins of the house, right?”
Shen Wu: “…”
Meng Huaizhi’s not-so-funny jokes, after listening for a long time, he got used to them, and the corners of his lips would even uncontrollably lift, and he couldn’t press them down.
Meng Huaizhi was not concerned about the bloody storm online. He leaned against Shen Wu and looked at the phone he was holding. He suddenly asked, “Where’s the ring?”
“I took it off when I was showering.”
“No need to take it off. A diamond ring won’t rust.”
“…” Shen Wu was amused again. “Aren’t I afraid of accidentally losing it? It’s such a big diamond.”
Meng Huaizhi also smiled, “Then it’s a good opportunity to propose again.”
Shen Wu was helpless. He took the ring from the bedside table. No matter how many times he held it in his palm, it felt uncomfortable.
A smooth silver ring with a large diamond on top. The height of the protruding diamond was probably one centimeter, and it was cut with dozens of facets, sparkling from every angle.
Without needing anyone to set it off, one could see its pricelessness at a glance.
Meng Huaizhi took this formal diamond ring and put it on Shen Wu’s ring finger again.
Meng Huaizhi held Shen Wu’s hand with his left hand and put the ring on with his right. From Shen Wu’s perspective, he could also see the similar diamond ring on Meng Huaizhi’s left ring finger.
“Put on the necklace too,” Meng Huaizhi said again.
Hearing this, Shen Wu took out two necklaces from his bag, which were the same style they had used to string the rings before.
Shen Wu first put on the necklace with the embedded diamond ring himself, and then put it on for Meng Huaizhi, sighing, “I feel like I don’t need to buy any more jewelry in the future…”
Meng Huaizhi chuckled and took his hand, “Alright, let’s go. Let’s go out to sea and play.”
“Wait,” Shen Wu quickly stopped him. “Your house has collapsed. Don’t you really need to do something about it?”
“Let’s play first,” Meng Huaizhi was unconcerned.
The two of them took a cruise out to sea, surfed on the open sea, sunbathed and fished. By the time they returned to the resort hotel, it was almost evening.
While they were intimately showering and tidying up, a new trending topic had risen at an astonishing speed and had soon topped the list, directly suppressing #Meng Huaizhi’s house collapse#.
Like a high-rise building rising from the ground, above the trending topic of “house collapse” was—#Meng Huaizhi’s proposal#.
@Entertainment Little Fish: According to reliable sources, a big boss has booked a deserted small island in Haishi and has been setting off fireworks all night to propose to his beloved. It can be seen clearly even from the main island. The Vexation in the fireworks, isn’t that the famous song of a certain three-character top-tier star? [Image][Image][Image]…
This Weibo post did not have the name of the person involved. Just with the famous song title, it had attracted countless melon-eating passersby and fans, and the popularity was growing at a visible speed.
The accompanying pictures of this Weibo post were a batch of high-definition photos of fireworks. The dark background set off the brilliant fireworks. In the end, there were a few sentences spelled out by hundreds of brightly lit drones, as if the stars were being controlled, writing the most sincere confession in the night sky.
“You are the unspeakable vexation of my youth.”
“At this moment, I can finally say it out loud.”
“Do you marry me?”
Meng Huaizhi, who had been missing for several days, finally came online.
As usual, he first unhurriedly patrolled the trending topic’s page.
He was not in a hurry at all, but the passersby and fans were almost dying of anxiety.
As if a century had passed, Meng Huaizhi’s Weibo finally had a movement.
@Meng Huaizhi: Good shot//@Entertainment Little Fish: According to reliable sources, a big boss has booked a deserted small island in Haishi and has been setting off fireworks all night to propose to his beloved…
@Meng Huaizhi: Changing the wedding anniversary [Image].
The accompanying picture was a brand new red marriage certificate, and the wedding date was clearly the day before yesterday.
And the evidence that the marketing account that had exposed Meng Huaizhi’s divorce had taken out was from more than half a month ago.
Netizens: [????]
