Therefore, after recording was finished, the Tan family went backstage to check on Tan Jinsheng. They greeted Tan Jinsheng and left.
However, when they were about to leave, they were stopped by Li Ruhan.
“Mr. Tan, Mrs. Tan,” Li Ruhan called.
The Tan family stopped and looked back. They saw Li Ruhan running out.
Because she was wearing high heels and the ground was slippery, she trotted carefully and didn’t run fast.
But by the way she ran, people could see her anxiety at a glance.
Her anxious look didn’t seem to be an act.
Even Tan Wenci and Wei Zhiqian could tell that she was genuinely anxious.
Unless, Li Ruhan’s acting was extremely well trained.
Now, they were in front of the stage, and there were still many audience members who had not left.
Because of the large audience, there were still some audience members who were waiting in line to leave the stage.
Hearing Li Ruhan’s voice, the audience members who were still in the venue turned to look at her.
Then, it was Friday. The day the program was broadcasted.
‘Tan Mo and Wei Zhiqian arrived at the Tan family home. Soon, Tan Jinsheng had also returned.
The whole family was watching the live broadcast together.
‘As soon as each singer’s performance ended, Kefeng’s official blog, Donghua Satellite TV’s official blog, and I Sing’s official blog would immediately release solo singing clips of the singers.
Some singers had tricks up their sleeves, and would do something that would make them trend for various reasons.
‘Tan Mo was looking at them when she was attracted by one of the trending searches.
(Tan and Li Couple]
Tan Mo immediately became intrigued.
She clicked on it and it turned out to about Li Ruhan and Tan Jinsheng.
There were a lot of videos of them.
The one with the most views was when Tan Jinsheng handed Li Ruhan some water and even unscrewed the cap of the bottle for her.
“He’s too sweet!”
“Tan Jinsheng is such a gentleman!”
“This must be how he was brought up.”
“He obviously likes Li Ruhan!”
“Tan and Li!”
“Tan and Li, I love them!”
“Ah! I love them so much!”
“Did you guys see the interaction between the two of them? They are so loving in private!”
“Yeah, Li Ruhan even cooked beef noodles for Tan Jinsheng.”
“Li Ruhan is a beautiful person with good singing and cooking skills. No wonder Tan Jinsheng likes her.”
“Tan and Li, Tan and Li, Tan and Li!”
Tan Mo looked at these and frowned. “Brother, are you and Li Ruhan together? There are a lot of people talking about your relationship. Did you two agree to couple bait?”
“What?” Tan Jinsheng was confused. “Why would you think Li Ruhan and I are together?”
“See for yourself. It’s on the hot searches list,” Tan No said.
Tan Jinsheng didn’t care about watching the program anymore. He went to the hot searches list. Tan mo said, “It’s the one with Tan and Li.”
The others also went to look at it.
‘The more Tan Jinsheng looked, the more he frowned.
“Did you guys plan for this couple bait?” Tan Wenci looked at Tan Jinsheng’s expression and asked.
“You said that I had to be careful around her. Why would I do that with her?” Tan Jinsheng said, “Besides, I just want to focus on singing. I never thought of couple baiting. As long as my songs are liked by everyone, it’s fine.”
“Plus, she cooked you noodles?” Tan Wenci asked.
“That was when it wasn’t meal time yet, but I was little hungry and wanted to eat something,” Tan Jinsheng said, “But I don’t know anything how to cook noodles. When she saw me like that, she insisted on cooking for me.”
“refused, but she insisted. She very quickly added noodles to hot water. She even said that she wasn’t hungry and couldn’t eat the noodles for me. There were cameras around so I couldn’t just leave like that. It would look bad on me. It doesn’t matter if she’s misunderstood, but I can’t let others
misunderstand me.” Tan Jinsheng said truthfully.
“It seems like she is doing this on purpose.” Wei Zhigian asked, “Was she that attentive to you before?”
“No.” Tan Jingi shook his head, “Maybe it’s because we weren’t familiar with each other before. Before, she was always polite to me, but we were never close. She usually hung out with more famous seniors and asked them a lot of questions as well.”
Wei Zhigian nodded and said, “Now we can basically confirm that she is using you.”
“When we went to watch the recording of the second episode…” Tan Jinyi said, “After it was over, didn’t we go backstage to say hello to second brother? After we left, Li Ruhan even chased after us and stopped us.”
“Yeah I agree, she was being very strange,” Xu Mingzhen said with a frown.
“think it’s most likely that she found out that Jinsheng is Tanyue’s young master,” Tan Jingi said, “She’s using couple baiting with Jinsheng to get more popular. What if she really succeeds? What if she really wins everyone over?”
“What should we do? We can’t just let her do what she wants, right?” Xu Mingzhen said unhappily, “She’s disgusting!”
Being used by someone… How disgusting!
She clearly had nothing to do with Tan Jinsheng.
“Can we clarify it?” Xu Mingzhen said again.
“How can we clarify it?” Tan Jingi said helplessly, “Li Ruhan was only couple baiting. She gave the netizens psychological hints to make them think that she has something going on with Jinsheng, But in reality, she never said anything specific. If Jinsheng clarified, people would say that he is making a fuss
out of nothing and that he is being petty.”
“What’s more, people would think that he is looking down on Li Ruhan,” Tan Jingi said.
“Besides, all along, regardless of whether this couple bait is one or two sided, there’s no way to clarify. It’s the product of the netizens’ entertainment.” Tan Jingi said, “If Jinsheng clarifies, he’ll be the one who gets embarrassed.”
“If Jinsheng took the initiative to clarify, many netizens, including Li Ruhan’s fans, will jump out and say that Jinsheng is not good enough for Li Ruhan..”
