Chapter 409: 408. Give up already

"You don’t know?"

Cheng Ranran looked even more surprised than her.

Ye Xiaohui, sitting nearby, opened her textbook. "Xiao Shu is either with the drama crew or attending classes; where does she find the time to surf the internet?"

Seeing that Tang Shu was indeed clueless, she explained:

"The character Mu Qing has successfully broken the mold of the typical Overbearing Boss role. He’s now ascended to the most popular male lead among young girls. Netizens describe this kind of rogue-like character as ’Handsome Mu Qing’."

"Moreover, this new internet slang wasn’t even coined by female netizens."

Cheng Ranran took this opportunity to add.

"Then who came up with it?"

"Male netizens."

"???"

Tang Shu’s mind was filled with question marks. Wasn’t "You Smile" supposed to be a youth motivational idol drama?

When did it start appealing to male netizens?

Ye Xiaohui and Cheng Ranran giggled, bringing Tang Shu up to speed on the latest trends.

"I’ll tell you, the character Mu Qing is even more popular among boys than girls! A lot of male netizens aren’t into the Overbearing Boss trope, but they are totally captivated by Mu Qing!"

"Right, Mu Qing has a way of speaking and doing things that’s so manly, and he never plays by the rules. Quite a few guys think his character is super cool."

"Especially that buzz cut—rebellious and arrogant."

"But most importantly, he’s handsome."

Upon hearing this, the image of Zhao Ming’s goofy daily life on set instantly came to Tang Shu’s mind, and her expression somewhat cracked.

"Mysterious but impressive."

It seemed that all these fanboys and fangirls were projecting the character onto the actor himself.

If you knew that the rogue male lead you adore is actually a complete joker in real life, I wonder what you’d think?

Cheng Ranran seemed to suddenly realize something and gasped.

"How far have you guys filmed?"

"Just one episode left, we’re almost at the grand finale."

As a Weekly Drama, "You Smile" was not expected to run very long. Moreover, with each episode lasting an hour, it wasn’t surprising that it was approaching the grand finale after such an extended period.

But Cheng Ranran still made a bitter face.

"It’s over, it’s over, I have to say goodbye to Mu Qing, nooooo—"

First it was the reluctance for the CP, now it was Mu Qing.

"I really want to know what happens next, waiting a week for each episode is just torture aaaaah—"

She had an urge to ask Tang Shu how the story develops, but no, hold it back, hold it back!

Spoilers can kill, ying~~~

Cheng Ranran was immediately caught in a dreadful dilemma.

To ask or not to ask?

That was a question worth pondering.

Ye Xiaohui opened her textbook for her, and pulled on someone who was spacing out looking at a photo.

"Give it up, if you dare let Xiao Shu spoil it, I’ll kill you."

At this time, several of the classmates in the room, after noticing the autographed photos in the hands of the two girls, hesitated for a while and finally, a few thick-skinned boys approached.

"Uh... Tang Shu, hi."

Tang Shu always came and went in a hurry whenever she was at the academic building. Apart from being close with the two people in her dorm, she was just nodding acquaintances with most others.

The only one she might have had interactions with was the class president; however...

Zhao Haixue was quite unpopular, and for some inexplicable reason, treated her with animosity, almost as if they were sworn enemies. This also led the other students to avoid speaking with Tang Shu.

The boys initiating the conversation were careful, and for Tang Shu, who was interacting with other classmates for the first time, the experience was quite novel.
