Chapter 90: The Live Broadcast Begins

Lin Qin suddenly said something that made Chu Hong and Meng Ke, who were well aware of the feelings between Meng Chao and Lin Qin, look at Lin Qin in astonishment. Weren’t their feelings supposed to be very profound? They were already at the stage of meeting each other’s family and discussing marriage, so why wasn’t Lin Qin in a hurry at this point?

Lin Qin raised an eyebrow at the two, his eyes carrying a trace of mischief.

Chu Hong and Meng Ke suddenly understood. Giving Meng Chao a glance, they noticed that instead of being anxious upon hearing this, Meng Chao was calmly seated there. As Lin Qin finished speaking, Meng Chao even added, "That’s right, Grandpa, we’re not in a hurry."

Meng Zhao Kang was truly reaping what he sowed.

Lin Qin and Meng Chao were doing this on purpose. They knew the old man was eager to establish a familial alliance with the Chu Family, so they intentionally riled him up.

After all, considering how over-the-top the old man had behaved towards Lin Qin that morning, Lin Qin couldn’t just let himself be bullied for no reason. He had to retaliate somehow, if only a little. And this retaliation was harmless, simply playful enough to bring him some glee.

Sure enough, the old man grew anxious and said urgently, "Meng Chao is already nearly thirty, at twenty-seven or twenty-eight. He’s not young anymore. It’s truly time for him to settle down as soon as possible."

Meng Chao used the old man’s words from the morning against him, saying, "Grandpa, didn’t you ask me to entertain the guests? Now that the guest has arrived, should I take her around to explore?"

Mr. Meng was hit where it hurt but still stubbornly retorted, "No need, no need. You go ahead and show Qinqin around the house. I’ll have Meng Ke take care of the guests."

Today, the old man had truly lost face at every turn! He sighed silently in his heart.

Meng Chao held back his laughter and pretended to reluctantly agree, saying, "Alright then, I’ll take Qinqin for a walk now."

"Go, go! Just don’t let Qinqin feel wronged," Mr. Meng kindly reminded them.

Meng Chao took Lin Qin’s hand and headed toward the garden within the manor. The others, wise enough to read the room, refrained from interrupting, leaving the time and space solely for the couple.

When Lin Qin and Meng Chao arrived at the park, they couldn’t help but share a glance and smile, eventually embracing each other. Amid the fragrance of plum blossoms, they exchanged a deep and lingering kiss.

Originally, Meng Chao hadn’t planned on revealing Lin Qin’s background to Mr. Meng, as the person he was with was Lin Qin—not the grandson of Mr. Chu from the Chu Family, but simply Lin Qin himself without any added labels.

However, since Chu Hong was willing to stand up for Lin Qin, Meng Chao accepted her goodwill.

When the kiss ended, Meng Chao couldn’t resist tousling Lin Qin’s hair, his brows brimming with joy as he said, "You’re getting more mischievous."

Lin Qin’s eyes curved into happiness as he teased, "Was Brother Chao scared by me?"

Lin Qin naturally wanted to vent his own frustrations, so he deliberately said things that made Mr. Meng anxious. He trusted Meng Chao would understand him, and sure enough, the two of them cooperated seamlessly.

"How could I be scared?" Meng Chao gazed at Lin Qin with intensity and affection, confidently stating, "My darling Qinqin is so devoted to me. She’s dying to marry me as soon as possible—how could she possibly want to postpone it?"

Lin Qin didn’t deny it, laughing mischievously as she stood on tiptoe and planted a kiss on Meng Chao’s cheek, her expression smug and triumphant.

"It’s snowing again."

Snowflakes drifted down from the sky, and Lin Qin reached out to catch them. However, she caught a white petal from the plum blossoms instead. It wasn’t snow but a sprinkling of plum blossom petals.

The elegant fragrance of plum blossoms lingered at her nose. Lin Qin took a deep breath, feeling refreshed. She fell into Meng Chao’s arms, and together they tightly embraced amidst the shower of petals.

...

After their visit to Meng Chao’s house to meet his family, their relationship steadily progressed, as if they were constantly in the throes of a passionate romance, eager to spend every waking moment together. Several times, they were even photographed by paparazzi. However, their public behavior was so restrained that they merely appeared to be very close same-gender friends, making it impossible to link them to romantic partners.

Still, paparazzi loved to speculate wildly. Even with a few innocuous photos, they managed to weave countless dramatic narratives.

Today: Meng Chao and Lin Qin seen together at a karaoke lounge late at night—rumors of romance abound. Are they really turning fiction into reality?

Tomorrow: Meng Chao and Lin Qin caught shopping intimately—are they truly turning fiction into reality?

The day after: A roundup of celebrity couples who turned fiction into reality—guess who tops the list for chemistry and popularity? It’s them!

Initially, fans would flood gossip posts on marketing accounts with comments clarifying that Lin Qin and Meng Chao were just good friends and asking everyone not to misunderstand. But as rumors of turning fiction into reality persisted, even their fans grew numb and began joking around, joining in the fun.

[Today’s daily check-in for "turning fiction into reality": Have Lin Qin and Meng Chao gone public? Not yet!]

[Are Lin Qin and Meng Chao getting married? Not yet!]

[When are Lin Qin and Meng Chao getting married? Who knows!]

[Have paparazzi caught Lin Qin and Meng Chao today? They have!]

The comment sections, filled with this playful format, drew laughter from onlookers. One comment even rose to the top:

[If Lin Qin and Meng Chao ever officially announce their relationship, I wouldn’t even be surprised. These two spend every living moment together despite having no planned appearances—are they worried their fans aren’t getting enough "couple content"? Instead of getting snapped by paparazzi, they might as well post selfies and announce it on Weibo themselves. Haven’t you seen how your fans are waiting hungrily on your Weibo pages?]

This lighthearted comment ended up trending when, a few days later, it proved prophetic.

Lin Qin and Meng Chao actually went public!

...

The story behind this began with the show "Together With Us."

When "Together With Us" first aired, it was planned to have 12 episodes. However, because the final recording featured Fang Minghui and Yi Ran, whose antics caused considerable frustration for the production team, the team ultimately refunded Fang Minghui’s investment and cut the entire episode.

This resulted in the show falling short one episode’s worth of viewership. The production team publicly acknowledged the oversight to the audience and promised to make a New Year’s special to compensate.

Of course, all of this was pre-discussed with Meng Chao and Lin Qin, who naturally needed to align their schedules with the plan.

Initially, Meng Chao and Lin Qin declined the idea of recording a New Year’s special. However, instead of rejecting the concept outright, they proposed changing the recording to a live broadcast.

Meng Chao personally suggested hosting a three-hour live broadcast on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Given the extended duration, the production team gladly agreed, having already coordinated with the live-streaming platform and released the news online. Anticipation grew as the 25th day approached.

Before long, the anticipated day arrived. It was winter break, so many viewers waited eagerly in front of their screens. As the scheduled time approached, the audience flooded into the livestream room.

Although the live-streaming platform had prepared for heavy traffic and performed server maintenance beforehand, it still crashed under the influx, leaving many users unable to access the stream.

Fortunately, ten minutes later, the platform urgently fixed the servers, and viewers gradually entered the live room safely.

It was at this moment that the live broadcast officially began...
