Before Going on a Variety Show, the Actress Lost Her Memory - Chapter 11

Xi Xiuyun’s unexpected injury, which required her to spend the night in the hospital, forced the couple to abruptly end their livestream.

Although viewers knew the surprise wouldn’t be revealed live, after five hours of waiting without any sign of Xi Xiuyun or Yu Wenyu, fans grew increasingly anxious. Most netizens, however, were more interested in the gossip.

Initially, fans sent private messages to the studio. Later, inquiries even flooded the official Yu Clan Weibo account, but no response was given.

While Xi Xiuyun’s injury was major news, staff members dared not leak the information due to pressure from both the Xi Family and the Yu Clan.

As the situation spiraled out of control, Yu Wenyu finally agreed to release a statement.

The statement informed fans and netizens about Xi Xiuyun’s accidental injury.

It assured them that Xiuyun had regained consciousness and was in stable condition, urging them not to worry. The statement also apologized for the livestream’s cancellation.

Xi Xiuyun enjoyed immense national popularity, beloved by people of all ages and genders.

Upon hearing the news of her injury, widespread concern erupted, with many expressing that the livestream’s cancellation was insignificant.

Though some unscrupulous trolls attempted to stir trouble, they were swiftly and mercilessly silenced by Xi Xiuyun’s devoted fans.

Although the fans didn’t blame her, Yu Wenyu still felt a vague sense of guilt toward the audience.

The live stream was originally only three episodes long, and they had already wasted one.

After some consideration, Yu Wenyu decided it would be best to compensate the fans with a Q&A vlog.

However, Xi Xiuyun had already woken up. After further thought, Yu Wenyu concluded that a live stream would be better than a vlog.

They would stream for just one hour, answering questions from viewers.

After discussing it with Lin Yiqiao, the production team of “Accompanying the Rest of Our Lives” saw this as a golden opportunity to capitalize on the buzz.

They announced the surprise live stream under the show’s banner, scheduled to begin in one hour.

Fans and netizens were stunned, immediately forming groups to discuss questions.

Since Yu Wenyu and Xi Xiuyun’s marriage three years prior, the couple had practically vanished from public life.

They only appeared when their films were released, but never attended promotional events in person.

Moreover, the true nature of their relationship remained a mystery, fueled only by speculation from their CP fans and lacking any official confirmation.

Now, with this rare opportunity, wouldn’t everyone want to uncover every last detail about them?

Initially, netizens had been too timid to ship Yu Wenyu and Xi Xiuyun as a couple, daring only to ship them as best friends.

The two actresses had debuted around the same time, one a radiant socialite, the other a cool and composed figure.

As their careers soared, fan wars and comparisons inevitably erupted.

While their fans were locked in heated online battles, paparazzi captured Yu Wenyu and Xi Xiuyun vacationing together in Paris on Valentine’s Day.

There were also numerous photos of them together, displaying intimate moments while shopping.

Fans: “……”

Could it be… they were just best friends?

Though reluctant to admit it, the intimate photos were undeniable proof.

Even without official confirmation from the actresses, fans, nursing their bruised egos, reluctantly accepted them as a “family.”

Yu Wenyu and Xi Xiuyun’s backgrounds were easily traceable; they had never intended to conceal them. Both came from powerful, long-established families with deep-rooted ties.

Given their close relationship and aristocratic origins, an arranged marriage for mutual benefit seemed inevitable.

Rather than face a doomed romance, netizens chose to ship their friendship. As long as there was no drama, their bond couldn’t possibly fail.

But then came the parking garage kiss—a photo that threatened to shatter the closet door.

The secretly shipping netizens panicked. They had once eagerly sought crumbs of affection, but now that the main characters were openly feeding them sugar, they couldn’t bear to face it. They frantically tried to slam the closet door shut.

Fan: “They’re just besties! Girls kiss all the time, it’s totally normal for straight girls!”

Netizen: “Straight girls… you better be.”

Fan: “It’s just a normal kiss! Don’t make such a big deal out of it. It’s just bestie love.”

Netizen: “Look me in the eye and say that again! You’re calling that deep kiss with the hand on the back of the head ‘besties’? You city folk sure know how to play.”

Fan: “As long as there’s no bedroom photo, they’re just besties! No arguments accepted.”

Netizen: “We hold hands, kiss, and do the deed, but we’re just good besties.”

Eventually, even the fans couldn’t keep up the charade. The head fan reluctantly sent a private message to the two women:

“Sisters, you two need to tone it down. We can’t keep the closet door shut any longer.”

Yu Wenyu even thoughtfully replied:

“Then don’t bother. We’re going to come out eventually anyway.”

Head Fan: “!!!! Mom, I’m shipping the real deal!”

After that, the fans stopped trying to hide the relationship and gleefully joined the Yu Xi CP shipping frenzy. With the official seal of approval from the couple themselves, the shipping soared to new heights.

Initially, some haters kept bringing up the women’s backgrounds, claiming they would inevitably marry men and that their same-s3x relationship was just a phase.

But that year, China legalized same-s3x marriage. On the very day the law passed, Yu Wenyu updated her Weibo:

Yu Wenyu V: Officially licensed and on the job! Mrs. Yu @Xi Xiuyun V [Attached: Photo of the two holding their marriage certificate]

Xi Xiuyun V: Mine now! Mrs. Xi @Yu Wenyu V [Attached: Photo of the two holding their marriage certificate]

“Aaaaaah! I never thought this day would come! The first wife-wife couple I know is the Yu Xi CP! Aaaaaah!”

“Oh my god, oh my god! The civil affairs bureau just opened, right? Are they the first couple in China? Aaaaaah! Mom, the ship I’ve been sailing is real!”

“Remember those haters who said Yu Xi was fake? Where are you now? Come out! How could a couple that turns solo stans into CP fans possibly be fake?”

The news of their marriage spread like wildfire through the entertainment industry. Xi Xiuyun and Yu Wenyu were already acclaimed actresses who had both won Best Actress awards.

Their popularity skyrocketed, gaining them tens of thousands of new fans and solidifying their status as top-tier celebrities.

What truly shocked the industry was that, now that same-s3x marriage was legal, films previously banned in mainland China were finally released.

Palace Heart, a dual-lead film starring Yu Wenyu and Xi Xiuyun, was widely considered their “love story origin” by fans.

In reality, the two had been together long before filming Palace Heart.

When Palace Heart was first released, its box office revenue quickly surpassed 100 million, leaving audiences emotionally devastated. Three years later, it remains the top-grossing film in its genre.

The once-viral CP, whether referring to Palace Heart itself or to Yu Wenyu and Xi Xiuyun, remains the “White Moonlight” in the hearts of netizens.

Now, with the couple streaming live together, CP fans are transported back to those nostalgic days.
