    Chapter 65: The Show Premieres

    From this, it’s clear that Mr. Chu’s attitude toward the relationship between Lin Qin and Meng Chao is supportive. After all, he vividly remembers the state his grandson was in before meeting Meng Chao, and he can no longer bear to see such a lonely version of his grandson again.

    Now that there’s someone who can lead his grandson out of that solitary state, as long as his grandson is happy, he doesn’t mind whether the person accompanying him for the rest of his life is a man or a woman. His grandson’s happiness is far more important than whether his grandchild-in-law is male or female.

    After Chu Ge learned of her father’s attitude, she truly felt relieved for Lin Qin. Her father’s personality has really changed a lot over the past few years; he’s no longer so stubborn.

    "I thank Dad on behalf of Qin." Chu Ge said lightly and cheerfully.

    However, she hadn’t been happy for long when Mr. Chu directed his scolding at her. "What are you and Lin Chengdu planning to do? Just keep dragging this out? Now that Qin’s condition has improved, you no longer have that excuse."

    Back then, Chu Ge got divorced from Lin Chengdu, which upset her father greatly. They had a big argument, and she left for abroad to start her own business out of spite. After hearing that Lin Qin had developed social anxiety, she immediately shifted her career focus back to the domestic market. But as for her relationship with Lin Chengdu, there has been no progress whatsoever.

    In hindsight, that divorce was merely the result of misunderstandings and youthful impulsiveness. Neither of them was truly at fault; they were simply stubborn, refusing to compromise, which led to the marriage falling apart.

    These past years, both of them have been alone. It’s not that they haven’t considered finding someone else, but nothing ever worked out. After trying with others, they realized the one who truly fit them was still the original person.

    Chu Ge does want to reconcile with Lin Chengdu. However, after all these years, her pride stands in the way. She was the one who initiated the divorce—how could she be the one to propose getting back together?

    Seeing Chu Ge remain silent, Mr. Chu could only sigh helplessly. A muddled person in the midst of a situation can’t see clearly; any outsider can tell that Chu Ge and Lin Chengdu still have feelings for each other.

    Forget it, forget it. If they want to keep tormenting themselves, let them. He’s old now and no longer has the strength to intervene.

    ...

    Lin Qin was completely unaware of everything happening with the Fang Family. Everyone had mutually decided not to tell him about it. To Lin Qin, what’s past is past—there’s no need to bring it up again and make him uncomfortable.

    Lin Qin and Meng Chao had been rehearsing their scenes together for more than half a month. The two had thoroughly absorbed the script, and with filming tomorrow, they were feeling confident and prepared.

    While Lin Qin was packing his luggage, Chu Hong called to tell him that the pilot episode of "Together With Us" was airing today, and reminded him to post a promotional Weibo.

    Only then did Lin Qin recall that the director of "Together With Us" had sent him a sample cut a few days ago, asking if he could post a Weibo promotion when convenient.

    Just then, Meng Chao walked in. Lin Qin looked up and asked him, "Brother Meng, the show airs today. Have you posted your Weibo yet?"

    "I just did." Meng Chao’s agent had reminded him. In fact, he had just hit the "send" button as Lin Qin asked.

    Hearing that Meng Chao had already posted, Lin Qin hurriedly took out his phone and retweeted Meng Chao’s Weibo.

    Lin Qin v: Tonight at 8:30, see you then. // Meng Chao v: Tonight at 8:30, @Lin Qin and I will be waiting for you in our little house. Sёar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    As soon as the original post and the retweet went live, they quickly climbed the trending charts.

    The comment section was flooded with chaos.

    [Ahhhhhhh!!!! Finally, the wave of "Stir-fry Greens" CP dog food we’ve been waiting for is on its way!]

    [Sitting quietly, waiting for the dog food.]

    [The "Stir-fry Greens" CP is finally active!!!]

    [Tonight at 8:30, see you then!! Brothers, we’re coming!!]

    ...

    Lin Qin scrolled through a few comments. Seeing the endless stream of "ahhhhs" on screen, it was as if he could truly hear their screams. He couldn’t help but smile.

    "Brother Meng, shall we watch together later?"

    Although they had already seen the sample cut, the streaming platform had live comment features. Lin Qin was eager to watch along with the live comments.

    Meng Chao naturally agreed.

    Before they knew it, it was 8:30. Meng Chao turned on the home theater system, projecting the video onto the screen. As soon as it started, the live comments were already flooding in.

    [Lin Xiaotu, I’m here!!]

    [Meng’s first reality show—support!! Support!!]

    The screen was harmonious.

    Soon, the screen showed a small neighborhood in the capital. Viewers followed the lens into Lin Qin’s home. It was early morning, and everyone expected to see a drowsy Lin Qin when the door opened, but surprisingly, Lin Qin had everything meticulously cleaned and was waiting for the show’s team to arrive.

    Lin Qin’s slight awkwardness did not escape the camera, gradually being revealed to the audience.

    [Hahaha, Lin Xiaotu probably wants to stuff himself in a box—he looks so nervous.]

    [Lin Xiaotu is definitely tense; did you see his hands? His knuckles are white.]

    [Poor Lin Xiaotu: "I’m scared, but I won’t say it. I still have to actively participate while online!"]

    The comments followed the camera to the airport. When Meng Chao appeared, the comments erupted in adoration.

    Lin Qin joined in with the live comments, shouting next to Meng Chao’s ear: "Ahhhhhh, Meng is so handsome! Ahhhhhh, I really like Meng!!"

    Meng Chao then turned directly to seal Lin Qin’s lips with a kiss. Not letting go until Lin Qin was thoroughly breathless, he finally released him.

    "Still shouting ahhhhhh now?" Meng Chao teased with a low laugh.

    Lin Qin licked his lips, and instead of speaking, let out another string of ahhhhhs, even casting a provocative glance at Meng.

    Meng Chao fully understood Lin Qin’s little gesture. With a chuckle escaping his lips, he leaned down and captured Lin Qin’s lips again.

    This time, Meng Chao gave Lin Qin no chance to resist, pinning him down and kissing him over and over again.

    Lin Qin bore all of Meng Chao’s fiery passion with tears, accepting what he had brought upon himself, even crying to extinguish the flames.

    By the time they separated, the pilot episode had already finished. Lin Qin lay on a chair, feeling sore all over, unwilling to move even a finger.

    After shutting down the equipment, Meng Chao picked Lin Qin up and carried him to the bathroom. Lin Qin let himself be carried, shifting from initial embarrassment to complete acceptance, without batting an eye.

    In the bathroom, Meng Chao couldn’t resist taking Lin Qin again. When they moved to the bed, Meng Chao pressed himself onto Lin Qin again, prompting Lin Qin to push him away hurriedly. "No more, we have to get up early for the film set tomorrow."

    Meng Chao didn’t persist; he simply kissed Lin Qin once, pulled him into his arms, and said, "Sleep now. Tomorrow, we’ll head there together."

    Lin Qin softly replied, "Okay," and quickly fell asleep.

    The next morning, Lin Qin and Meng Chao were awakened by the doorbell. Meng Chao let Lin Qin continue sleeping and went to open the door.

    The visitor was Meng Chao’s agent, there to take him to the film set.

    Not long after the agent entered, Lin Qin had finished freshening up and emerged. Upon seeing Lin Qin, the agent’s eyes widened in shock, and he exclaimed sharply, "Meng Chao, explain to me what’s going on!"
