Before Going on a Variety Show, the Actress Lost Her Memory - Chapter 18

Just as Xi Xiuyun and her group finished exchanging pleasantries with Shang Lin and his husband, voices drifted from the doorway.

It turned out to be two other couples who had run into each other. The young woman’s voice was like a clear spring flowing through the heart, pure and melodious.

This voice was highly recognizable among the younger generation, especially with the rise of “fandom” culture in recent years, which had spawned a wave of “overnight sensations” and “top-tier idols.”

Although China had legalized same-s3x marriage years ago, celebrities remained celebrities. Even heterosexual couples hesitated to publicly announce their relationships.

As a result, openly gay celebrity couples were exceedingly rare. Those who did come out were typically established “divas” or “best actresses” who were mostly semi-retired.

Therefore, fans generally welcomed fresh faces in this “circle” with warmth and enthusiasm.

After all, with their striking looks and willingness to engage with fans, Su Junwan and Xiao Huili’s immense popularity among the younger generation of entertainers was undeniable.

The girl approaching through the doorway wore a pale pink, semi-sheer long dress.

Watching the girl beside her smile, her eyes curving into crescents and overflowing with affection, her radiant joy was irresistibly captivating.

The live stream chat erupted:

“Awwwww, Wanwan’s smile is so adorable! She’s like a little sun!”

“Ahhhhh, I love her so much! And Lizi next to her—she’s so cool! Aaaaaahhhhh!”

“Chat, your comments are tripping me up!”

Su Junwan’s attention had been focused entirely on Xiao Huili, but a quick glance ahead revealed Xi Xiuyun, sending her into an even greater frenzy.

Her eyes widened into stars as she nervously clutched Xiao Huili’s sleeve and shook it.

“Huili, sob Best Actress Xi! She’s real! And so beautiful! Aaaaaahhhhh!”

Xiao Huili couldn’t help but feel embarrassed by her wife’s undignified behavior, wishing she could cover Su Junwan’s mouth.

While Xiao Huili’s life mattered too, the chat clearly prioritized their own amusement, erupting into laughter at Su Junwan’s embarrassing reaction.

“Help! Su Junwan is literally me! Who wouldn’t react like this to Best Actress Xi? Except maybe Yu Zai (manual dog head emoji)”

“Even though she’s Best Actress Xi, Wanwan, you’re still the youngest Best Actress of the new generation! Aaaaaah!”

“Please, Su Junwan’s Best Actress award? What a joke! Without the Xiao Family backing Xiao Huili, she’d be nothing.”

“So what if they’ve finally admitted their relationship? Xiao Huili still ignores her. Besides, if the paparazzi hadn’t caught them, do you think Xiao Huili would have ever acknowledged her?”

The moment this long, scrolling comment flooded the screen, the chat fell silent for a beat. Then, the commenter was torn to shreds.

“Are you just looking for trouble? Trying to get attention here?”

“Toxic fans shouldn’t even be watching romance reality shows. Why torture yourself?”

“If you don’t like it, leave! What are you trying to prove? Did your mom raise the placenta instead of you?”

“…”

Meanwhile, the participants on the live stream had no idea what the chat was arguing about. Su Junwan was still basking in the joy of successfully fangirling over her idol.

She didn’t notice Xiao Huili’s darkening expression, still grinning foolishly as she glanced at Xi Xiuyun, then at Yu Wenyu, feeling like she was about to faint.

“Best Actress Xi, I’m your fan,” Su Junwan said, glancing furtively at Yu Wenyu.

Under the radiant beauty’s gentle smile and amused gaze, Su Junwan’s face flushed as red as a cooked shrimp. She stammered, “Yu Zai, I’m also a CP fan of you and Best Actress Xi.”

Yu Wenyu listened to her nervous confession, then smiled knowingly and winked playfully at Su Junwan.

Her words were both sweet and teasing: “Don’t be nervous. You’re adorable, and I like you too.”

Yu Wenyu and Su Junwan were delighted, but Xi Xiuyun and Xiao Huili were left displeased.

Xi Xiuyun’s expression remained unchanged, but she silently raised her eyes to glance at Yu Wenyu.

Xiao Huili, still young despite her precocious demeanor, couldn’t suppress her anger. Her face darkened even more than before.

Forced to endure, the expression on her usually cold face became somewhat comical.

The live stream chat erupted with excitement, viewers clamoring, “Fight! Fight!”

Some omnivorous fans declared Yu Wenyu and Su Junwan to be a perfect match, though others mocked them, saying two zeros could never work. But nothing could deter these shippers.
