Golden Agent of the Adonis (136)
The director was taken aback and, after regaining his composure, looked at the excited fans and then at Chu Xiang. He chuckled and said, “If someone didn’t know better, they would think you’re the main guest for this episode. They don’t seem to be fans of the same person, right? Why are they so enthusiastic about you?”
Chu Xiang shrugged. “I have no idea. Lingling isn’t popular yet, and there are only a few sporadic fans in the audience. Most of the fans should be Peng Ze’s. They’re probably just joining in the excitement.”
The director rubbed the back of his head. “Yeah, Peng Ze is a rising young star. The majority of the live audience are his fans. Could it be that they want you to poach Peng Ze away? Hahaha.”
Of course, it was just a joke, so they left it at that. The show was about to begin filming, and as soon as Xia Lingling stepped on stage, she immediately flashed a sweet smile at Chu Xiang. Chu Xiang was worried that she might get nervous because of her presence, so she went over and straightened her collar, encouraging her, “Don’t be nervous, perform well.”
Xia Lingling nodded repeatedly, her face beaming with happiness. “Sister Xiang, don’t worry, I won’t let you down!”
Chu Xiang blinked, sensing that the young girl in front of her was unusually excited and not nervous at all. That’s good, then she should give a great performance.
Chu Xiang stepped back and watched as Xia Lingling displayed a lively and cheerful smile, enthusiastically participating in games with others. She effortlessly picked up cues and added her own comedic touch. She didn’t show any signs of stage fright. When it was time for the Whisper Challenge segment, she showcased her astonishing memorization skills and outstanding mimicry ability. She flawlessly conveyed what the previous person had performed to the next person, causing the live audience to gasp in amazement.
However, during one game, Xia Lingling got too engrossed and accidentally missed a step, tripping and falling off the stairs. The director immediately called for a halt, and at the same time, Chu Xiang rushed over, embracing Xia Lingling and checking her knee. “Are you okay?”
Xia Lingling forgot about the pain and leaned against Chu Xiang’s embrace, her face flushed. “I-I’m fine. Cough, don’t worry, Sister Xiang. I just fell a little, nothing’s broken, no harm done.”
Chu Xiang, having been a doctor before, examined her and knew she was okay. It was at most just a minor bruise. She helped her up and said, “Be more careful.”
Xia Lingling stood up and nodded repeatedly. She behaved particularly obediently. Only then did Chu Xiang step back and let them continue filming.
The fans went through a short process of going from being concerned to feeling relieved. Their attention shifted to another matter—Chu Xiang was so proactive! When Xia Lingling was held by Chu Xiang, they felt an indescribable sense of security from the audience. Seeing Xia Lingling blushing and being so obedient, some fans couldn’t help but scream.
So lovely! They also wanted to be cared for by Chu Xiang!
After the episode aired, other fans of Peng Ze were eagerly awaiting reports from the live audience. Little did they expect that the repo this time would contain numerous descriptions of Chu Xiang, especially the moment when Chu Xiang made the “shushing” gesture and when she rushed up on stage to embrace Xia Lingling. Fans described her as “assertive.” Many fans couldn’t help but feel excited and itching to see the legendary Chu Xiang in person.
Shortly after, Chu Xiang’s Chaohua received airport photos posted by her agency. The photos not only featured Chu Xiang but also Xia Lingling. Chu Xiang’s artists continued the style of Fang Zhenxuan, with their names signed under hers, always appearing in high-end designer outfits, all looking handsome and beautiful.
Walking beside Chu Xiang, Xia Lingling had a completely different style of beauty. Chu Xiang had fiery red lips, a well-fitted casual suit, exuding a queen-like, mature, and assertive aura. On the other hand, Xia Lingling wore a dress with a small fluffy bunny doll hanging from her bag, giving off a pure and adorable vibe. When she smiled, she exuded a sweet and charming feeling.
These two beauties not only pleased the eyes of fans but also sparked some shippers. Every time Xia Lingling looked into Chu Xiang’s eyes, stars twinkled—what else could it be if not affection!
However, this ship was immediately suppressed by the Sweet CP shippers. Chu Xiang belonged to Zhenxuan, and she could never be shipped with anyone else, especially not with another girl. Of course, since Xia Lingling was an artist promoted by Chu Xiang’s agency, the Sweet CP shippers didn’t attack her. They even affirmed her cuteness but made it clear that shipping her with Chu Xiang was absolutely not allowed.
Xia Lingling herself was a true Sweet CP shipper. Naturally, she paid close attention to Chu Xiang’s every move, and she wouldn’t allow anyone to damage her ship! When she saw this situation at the airport while waiting for her flight, she quickly posted a serious statement on Weibo.
[I won’t hide it from you. I’m a fan of Sister Xiang. Every time I see her, my eyes sparkle like stars. Today is the happiest day of my life! I will work hard and never disappoint Sister Xiang!]
Netizens suddenly realized the truth. So, she was a fan! No wonder her gaze toward Chu Xiang was so bright. All the shyness and timidity were just pretenses. Her blushing was all due to excitement! Who wouldn’t get excited when their idol hugs them? Let alone the fact that the idol even accompanied her to work and took flights with her. It was too thrilling! The idea of shipping them together vanished instantly.
Chu Xiang set all four of her artists to be specially monitored, so when Xia Lingling posted on Weibo, she immediately became aware of it. She followed the thread and understood the situation.
