Before Going on a Variety Show, the Actress Lost Her Memory - Chapter 15

Xi Xiuyun knew Yu Wenyu was watching her, but perhaps she hadn’t truly convinced herself deep down, so she didn’t dare meet Yu Wenyu’s gaze.

Perhaps she would never possess Yu Wenyu’s courage—the unwavering resolve to never let go of her beloved. Xi Xiuyun was a coward in love, even less brave than Fu Huai.

Sensing the awkward atmosphere between the two, the viewers in the live chat shifted gears, abandoning the Imperial Heart topic and naturally transitioning to a new question.

Yu Wenyu didn’t call out Xi Xiuyun’s silence. She knew this question had always lingered in Xi Xiuyun’s mind.

But she wouldn’t back down. Having chosen Xi Xiuyun, she was determined to be with her for eternity. With a lifetime ahead of them, she had all the time in the world to understand and enter Xi Xiuyun’s heart.

“Can you talk about your dating experiences?”

Yu Wenyu glanced at the question on the screen, her thoughts suddenly drifting back to the night after their college entrance exams.

She didn’t mind sharing her dating history with fans, but her relationship with Xi Xiuyun had been somewhat ambiguous before they officially became adults.

While their formal relationship began after they turned eighteen, their connection had been intensely intimate long before that.

If they revealed this, they might be accused of encouraging underage dating.

“Dating experiences, huh? It’s a bit complicated. Is there anything specific you’re curious about? We can pick and choose what to share.”

So, while running away might be shameful, it’s also effective.

Xi Xiuyun lowered her gaze, concealing the emotions in her eyes, and took over the conversation.

“Alright, you can ask us anything you’re really curious about. We’re only broadcasting for an hour, and we have just twenty minutes left until we wrap up.”

The chat exploded in disbelief. They had assumed the “one-hour broadcast” was just official PR talk, never imagining the two would actually stick to it.

But considering their reclusive nature—having spent three years without leaving their cave—it was exactly the kind of thing they would do.

“No! After finally getting a live stream, is this joy going to be so fleeting?”

“Please, can you broadcast a little longer? We’ll vote for you a ton! With more startup funds, you won’t have to suffer as much!”

“Aaaah! Chat, stop wasting time! Let me ask! I want to hear all the juicy details about your secret romance before you went public—especially about your Paris date! Tell us everything!”

“……”

Yu Wenyu stared at the rapidly scrolling chat, her eyes blurring. She couldn’t make out a single word. In the end, Xi Xiuyun answered.

“The Paris date, huh?”

Xi Xiuyun was much more willing to reminisce about those sweet, romantic moments. As for the painful parts? Let’s just skip those.

“Actually, Ayu and I weren’t really having a secret relationship. We never intended to hide it from anyone. I vaguely remember it was more like you guys were too afraid to ship us.”

Xi Xiuyun glanced at the comments, recalling the rebellious netizens who refused to ship them, even when pushed.

“Even so, Best Actress Xi, be honest—would you have dared to ship us? Your families are all powerful figures, and you’re both so upright and proper. Even if you were really together, it seemed destined for a tragic ending.”

“Exactly! Didn’t you feel any pressure when you came out?”

Yu Wenyu chimed in at the opportune moment: “Actually, Sister Xi and I aren’t quite like traditional lesbians. For me, I don’t really like men or women, though I definitely enjoy looking at beautiful women. But if it weren’t for Sister Xi, I wouldn’t even consider dating, let alone marriage. You might think I’m lovesick, but I’m actually a staunch advocate of remaining single—unless it’s with Xi, of course.”

“So, for me and my family, the concept of ‘coming out’ simply doesn’t exist. I’ve never liked labeling myself, and I hope everyone else will stop labeling themselves too. Existence itself is justification enough. Don’t worry about being different; as long as you’re not breaking the law, you’re fine.”

Let’s talk about coming out. We never really had a “coming out” moment because, first of all, we never felt there was anything wrong with liking someone of the same gender.

Secondly, our families didn’t object much, so we got together smoothly.

It wasn’t until later, when our manager found out we were a couple and educated us on the topic, that we realized, “Oh, so I’m a lesbian.”

Yu Wenyu sometimes felt incredibly lucky to have been born into such an open-minded family.

Growing up, no one ever told her that as a girl, she couldn’t like other girls.

On the contrary, whatever she liked—even same-s3x relationships, which weren’t widely accepted at the time—her family never saw any problem with it.

“Holy sh1t, I’m so jealous! No wonder their families are business titans. With that kind of vision, who else would get rich?”

“Help! This pure love warrior has collapsed! Xi-ism, kill me now and let the two of them have some fun!”

“Sweetness overload!”

“What about Best Actress Xi? Doesn’t she feel any pressure?”

Seeing the comments mentioning her again, Xi Xiuyun replied, “Huh? Our families have been close for generations! Haven’t you heard of arranged marriages?”

“Of course, that has nothing to do with us! We’re in a free-love relationship, none of that feudal superstition!”

Xi Xiuyun threw out a red herring, leaving her fans hanging in suspense.

“Ahhhh! Who taught you to talk like that?!”

“Waaah! I told you not to hang out with Lin Huan!”

“Why bring up Lin Tianhou? She’s just obsessed with nonsense literature. What harm could she possibly do?”

“Chat, stop interrupting! We only have ten minutes left, and I haven’t even heard anything about Valentine’s Day in Paris yet!”

Yu Wenyu wore an innocent expression. Hey, it’s not my fault! You guys are just too curious.

“Alright, alright, I’ll tell you about Paris and then end the stream. It’s nothing special—just a normal Valentine’s Day for a couple in love.

We’re head over heels for each other, so choosing Paris wasn’t too much, right? It’s the city of romance, after all! Don’t you guys have any love lives?”

The chat went ballistic.

Live stream ended.
