Lin Muci glared at him fiercely.
The directors, unsure of what was happening, told them to adjust their state for the next scene.
However, Ling Qianhe was only good at talking.
Barring any surprises, they would likely be filming all night.
...
Five o'clock in the morning on the third day.
Lin Muci, after sleeping for two to three hours in the van, was woken up by her agent.
"Xiao Ci?"
"I've brought the makeup artist. We're flying overseas for the debut stage. You can rest on the plane."
Her schedule was too packed.
She had forgotten how she even got into the van...
She remembered, did she not just finish filming a hot spring scene with Ling Qianhe?
And then she was too tired.
She had filmed for two days non-stop, and then she was so sleepy and exhausted. After the director called cut and they finished the last shot, she had apparently fainted.
Lin Muci was slightly taken aback.
Huh?
For a moment, she felt a bit unsettled.
In the end, how did she get into the van?
Someone must have dragged her in.
Her agent?
But her agent was also a girl...
She wouldn't have that much strength.
Lin Muci stared blankly, the van already heading towards the airport. The system chuckled foolishly in her mind.
"Who else could it be but Ling Qianhe? He carried you into the van, heh heh, didn't expect that, did you?"
Lin Muci froze.
"Ling Qianhe? He carried me into the van?"
The system nodded repeatedly.
"Of course! In front of everyone, so many staff members, cameras, he directly carried you out of the hot spring pool where you were filming."
"You were soaked. He found his own jacket and towel to cover your body. Then, he first carried you back to the hotel to dry you off, and only then, when you were about to go to the airport, did he send you into the van."
Lin Muci was dumbfounded.
She slept that soundly?
She actually didn't know anything at all.
But if that were the case...
"Many people saw it?"
The system chuckled foolishly.
"He didn't hide it either. And carrying you into and out of the hotel, there were paparazzi filming outside!"
Lin Muci gasped.
Three big words immediately flashed in her mind.
It's over!
This time it's definitely going to be exposed.
She was no longer sleepy at all and quickly took out her phone.
Checking the messages on her phone made Lin Muci's head spin even more.
"Ling Qianhe carried someone to the hotel! Pictures as proof!"
"Who wants high-definition pics? His fan site captured them, exclusive!"
Everyone was exploding with excitement.
"Really? Who did he carry to the hotel? Wait a minute, could this be a publicity stunt?"
"Exactly, who else could he be carrying? They're probably just filming."
"Can't see the face, she's covered by clothes, shrinking so delicately in his arms. Don't know if she's asleep, but she looks like a small, petite girl, really cute and soft."
"She's wearing ancient costume, maybe it's really filming."
This photo sparked a lot of discussion.
There were also staff explanations below.
"Don't guess wildly. It's Xiao Ci. They were reshooting scenes for 'The Phoenix Never Dies', and Xiao Ci was too tired and fell asleep on set. Others didn't dare touch her because the previous scene was a water scene, so Qianhe helped send her to the hotel."
"Exactly, he's really nice."
"Xiao Ci also trusts him immensely, she didn't even wake up."
The fans were going wild.
Such a huge CP sugar!
Can you still say they aren't dating?
Wuwuwu, hurry up and get together!
Lin Muci looked at the comments, all sorts of speculation, all sorts of rumors flying around, giving her a headache. The joyful atmosphere of everyone made her feel that the fans wished she and Ling Qianhe would...
Get married tomorrow.
Have two kids in three years.
The faster the better.
It was as if they wanted to urge her to get married immediately and register at the Civil Affairs Bureau.
She glanced at her phone screen and slumped onto the car seat helplessly.
When they arrived at the airport and met up with Yang Weiyang and the others, Yang Weiyang also winked at her and inquired.
"Heard Qianhe carried you back to the hotel?"
"His boyfriend power is simply MAX!"
"Exactly, Ling Qianhe is forever the god! He's really... incredibly capable."
"What, you were filming a hot spring scene, and heard he took off his clothes, and you could still sleep? If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be able to sleep..."
"His body is so good! He used to be on a dance show, those abs, that chest... tsk tsk, absolutely godly!"
"Xiao Ci, how can you be so uninspired? Such a rare opportunity, and you fell asleep?"
The system laughed even harder.
"Hahaha, because this opportunity isn't particularly rare for you, the host."
"As long as you're willing, little brother Qianhe can't wait to be naked with you every day, right?"
Lin Muci's head started to hurt again.
Has the little system also been infected?
Saying cheesy things.
It was like a contagious phenomenon.
She pursed her lips, contemplating how to explain to Yang Weiyang.
Over there, the plane was already urging them to board.
Meanwhile, Aurora and the others were repeatedly watching dance practice videos, as this was the global premiere stage for their third single, and there was no room for error.
Aurora turned to look at Lin Muci.
And asked her.
"Xiao Ci, how are you feeling now? They contacted us from there and said they might not be able to provide us with much rehearsal time."
"You need to adjust your state as soon as possible."
Everyone knew. Her workload was the heaviest, so they were worried about her condition.
Hearing this question, Lin Muci nodded. For the stage, she was always confident and reliable!
"Don't worry about me."
"I will absolutely not hold you all back!"
...
When they got off the plane.
Outside, there were crowds of fans. Even though the members of Era Girls were mentally prepared, they were still shocked.
There must have been hundreds of fans picking them up overseas.
Unknowingly, their popularity overseas had become so high?
"You've been nominated for the Grammy Global Best New Artist this year, and currently, the voting is globally first, so it's not surprising to have such a grand momentum."
"And overseas, they've always been infatuated with idol culture. Since your second single, you've followed the Chinese style, but instead, you've carved out your own niche, so your popularity has soared."
"Also, Yang Weiyang's drama, that sweet ancient romance drama, 'The General's Little Chef', is also a massive hit overseas, with over a billion clicks... so it's not strange to have this momentum."
To be honest, this group had no weaknesses.
Lin Muci, of course, was the absolute center, the core figure.
She had no weaknesses in singing, dancing, or rapping.
She could write songs, her appearance was stunning, she was the visual and the maknae. She had the highest popularity.
Yang Weiyang's web drama was also a huge hit.
Although Aurora was unknown before, several veteran singers praised her on singing variety shows.
She was like a meteor falling into the music industry, the absolute main vocalist.
Even if she pursued a singing career later, it would be very stable.
Han Jiuzhen was already somewhat famous overseas, which is why this phenomenon-level explosion swept the globe!
And the relationship between these four girls was exceptionally harmonious.
Anyone who had followed the show knew.
In this show, Lin Muci was the one who led the other three from desperate situations to debut. Although she was the youngest, she was the absolute core.
They followed completely different paths, so there was no conflict.
Therefore—
The fans were also exceptionally united. Although Lin Muci had a huge personal fanbase, everyone had no negative feelings towards the group, and there weren't instances of anti-fans flying everywhere and dragging each other down.
After all, she was the Ace.
Since she was willing to form a group, her fans were happy as long as Xiao Ci was happy!
Xiao Ci's happiness was the most important thing!
Lin Muci walked out, and the fans outside frantically called her name, asking for autographs.
The bodyguards wanted to block the girls, but Lin Muci smilingly signed autographs for everyone.
Yang Weiyang distributed candy to everyone and helped sign autographs.
They were exceptionally approachable.
The fans were ecstatic.
"Xiao Ci! Wuwuwu! Mom loves you!"
Lin Muci thought to herself, are there fans trying to steal Mrs. Lin Cuiping's job?
However, mom-fans were always formidable. She waved at the screaming fans.
The fans were so excited they had tears in their eyes.
"Xiao Ci, we super love you!"
Lin Muci walked out while signing autographs. The fan photographers, with their long lenses and cameras, took deep breaths, praising her beauty.
"So beautiful... can someone really be this flawless?"
"I'm going to faint, I can't believe Xiao Ci is actually before my eyes!"
The fan photographers posted pictures.
It immediately topped the trending topics.
#Lin Muci's candid photos are stunning!#
After the fan photographers posted the pictures.
Lin Muci and her other teammates had already gotten into the car and were heading to the rehearsal venue.
She sat in the car, while Yang Weiyang was scrolling through news on her phone, and suddenly got excited, sitting up straight.
"Xiao Ci, that woman who challenged you, Ma Yingying, seems to have arrived at the airport today too... Hey, I don't think I saw anyone picking her up."
"Her flight arrived at the same time as ours."
"Then, seeing the crowds of fans picking us up, seeing others shouting our names, won't she be furious?"
"She was already jealous of you..."
She flipped through the entertainment charts, all the way to the bottom.
Only then did she find a post.
Regarding Ma Yingying.
"Picking up Ma Yingying... but everyone is here to pick up Era Girls... wuwuwu, but Ma Yingying looks fierce in person, and not as pretty as in photos. She also glared at me and asked why I didn't bring more friends to pick her up..."
"She left in anger."
"I envy Era Girls' fans so much, they are all so polite."
"Before, she even helped me make support banners, lent me markers and extra ribbons... I didn't expect Ma Yingying to be like this."
"I heard her curse Era Girls as a bunch of bitches... she cursed so nastily..."
This post quickly rose to the top.
Someone asked her below.
"Isn't Ma Yingying known for her sweet personality? Why would she curse so nastily and so vulgarly!"
The original poster below swore an oath!
"I really heard her curse!"
"And she said she would definitely teach Lin Muci a lesson!"
"She probably felt awkward because no one was there to pick her up."
The fan sighed.
"I'm also switching from a fan to a hater! The atmosphere of Era Girls is too good. They sign autographs for fans, and even prepared candy and small gifts for fans, they're really putting in effort!"
"I can feel it... Era Girls truly deserves to be super popular!"
"They deserve it!"
Yang Weiyang felt extremely smug watching this.
However, regarding Ma Yingying, who was overestimating herself by challenging Lin Muci, Yang Weiyang snorted lightly.
This woman.
She even cursed them with vulgar language?
She puffed out her cheeks in anger.
Lin Muci comforted her cheerfully.
"Don't be angry."
"I will make her lose badly."
