Liang Yin didn’t reply back again.

It was enough to have expressed her gratitude and another reply to Zhou Jianchen was not needed.

After the apartment had been cleaned all over again, dusk had arrived. Hugging a back cushion on the sofa, Liang Yin watched the night curtain fall bit by bit.

She started to miss the dog named Victor again. At that time, it would often move around her feet and accompany her no matter how long it was.

Liang Yin was awakened by the cellphone’s ringing tone and looking at it with a sober mind, it was Ruona’s calling.

Ruona, Yuan Ruona, currently a popular actress whose fame is on TV dramas. Due to her lovable looks, she was once elected and awarded ‘The Most Popular Actress’.

It appears as if she is not acquainted with Liang Yin. In reality, the two of them are really good friends. Ruona is the only one who knew about Liang Yin’s marriage into the Zhong family and attended the wedding. Liang Yin even handed over this Jiayuan place for her to take care of but the two of them did not publicize nor did they ever appear in the same circle, hence their relationship is not known to the outside world.

She didn’t know why Ruona called her so suddenly.

“Hello, Ruona?” Sitting up, Liang Yin’s voice was a little hoarse. She had just fallen asleep on the sofa. Looking out the window, it was already dark.

Ruona’s voice came through very quickly, “You’re back, Yinyin? Why did I see all the news of your return on Weibo, where are you?”

Liang Yin was a little surprised, “Yes, I’m back.”

“You’re really back? I still couldn’t believe it, why didn’t you even tell me! But you’ve been photographed. Go check on Weibo. You’re on hot search.” Ruona said again.

Liang Yin would contact her whenever she came back but this time she didn’t even mention it, thus it surprised her inevitably. She knew about Liang Yin’s low-profile and would let no one know when she came back. This time it had created such a big uproar, hence she naturally would let her know immediately.

Tapping on the interface, Liang Yin took a look and sure enough, her name did appear on hot search.

“So where are you now? Why did you come back all of a sudden? How long do you intend to stay this time? I am telling you I must meet you at least once!” The last time when Liang Yin came back, she was too busy filming and could not meet her at all.

Liang Yin was still a little baffled. Looking at Weibo, she replied, “I’m in Jiayuan, this time I should … will stay for a while.”

“That’s great! I happen to finish shooting tomorrow. I will come find you then, you must wait for me ah!” Ruona did not hear the hesitation between Liang Yin’s words and just spoke excitedly.

As Ruona was still busy, she hung up after a few more words. Liang Yin finally realized what exactly was going on after looking at Weibo again.

This mishap originated from a photo of Zhou Jianchen at the airport.

The moment Zhou Jianchen appeared at the airport, he became the center of attention and countless photos of him were taken. One shot happened to capture Liang Yin.

In that photo, Zhou Jianchen was pushing the baggage cart towards the crowd with a smile on his face while countless travellers were shuttling back and forth around him. And right behind him at a distance away, Liang Yin happened to walk sideways silently incognito.

It should be a subtle corner that no one would have noticed. But who is Zhou Jianchen, everything about him will be amplified, magnified then watched over and over again. Hence, after looking repeatedly at those videos and photos, Liang Yin was detected in such a way.

— “Look guys, isn’t this person Film Empress Liang?”

Liang Yin’s image on the photo was magnified. Though the pixels were blurred, it was still possible to make out her side features.

After some comparisons, everyone confirmed that the one walking silently behind Film Emperor Zhou was really Film Empress Liang Yin.

The most excited ones were fans of Liang Yin after the fact was confirmed since Liang Yin’s disappearance five years ago had worried them for five long years. How could they not be excited catching sight of her appearance now.

In an instant, ‘The Return of Film Empress Liang Yin’ swept over the internet.

The topic of Yu Qiao being mercilessly crushed and having his limelight snatched by Zhou Jianchen in the airport at the time had already received waves of heated discussion. Now the topic exploded even more with the discovery of Film Empress Liang appearing at the same spot.

Who’s that little fresh meat[1]? What’s the big deal of getting mercilessly crushed by a big shot, didn’t you see there’s another big shot hidden behind you?

This big shot was truly low-profile, walking in the crowd silently and didn’t mind the slightest of posing as the backdrop board.

At first, Yu Qiao’s fans explicitly and implicitly accused Zhou Jianchen of sidelining a newcomer and deliberately showed up at the airport to humiliate others, but the group was directly ridiculed as soon as Liang Yin came out.

Who is your Yu Qiao who just acted in one hit drama! While Liang Yin nevertheless is an award-winning Film Empress. She even appeared at the airport in such a low-key manner without complaining about others stealing her limelight. Saying that Zhou Jianchen deliberately humiliates you, how big is your face?

Zhou Jianchen’s fans have long been disgruntled due to the previous instigation by Yu Qiao’s fans, and the revenge has been avenged this time, so not mentioning how happy they felt.

In the meantime, some people naturally didn’t know Liang Yin. Hence, the youngest Film Empress of that very year is mercilessly hounded again.

Liang Yin is really too beautiful. She was usually very low-key without capturing anyones’ attention, but she would become like the beacon of light amidst the crowd once she was in the movie. And her acting skills were so superb that just a brief movie clip was enough to incite people’s hearts.

So, after waves of pursuing, Liang Yin’s fans increased multifold again.

At this point, Liang Yin was swept into hot search too.

There were naturally some people who remembered those previous rumors. Wasn’t Liang Yin said to have met with a car accident that disfigured her and went abroad without any news for these past few years, why did she suddenly come back? So, some people began to speculate again, is it because Film Empress Liang is about to make a comeback?

**********

The internet was still abuzz with discussion and Liang Yin was rather dumbfounded after reading through the whole story.

She didn’t expect things to develop like this.

She has always been unwilling to disclose herself to the public. At that time, she rarely appeared in public apart from filming hence, she did not expect to stir up such a big fuss.

And all of this was due to a photo of Zhou Jianchen.

She didn’t look at it again moments later. Since she already knew what went on, she didn’t need to pay attention to the rest.

Though her return to the country had caused some unexpected buzz, it would eventually go away in time. The world of the internet changes rapidly, so she doesn’t need to care about it too much.

As for her fans, she has always been grateful and is more or less aware of their existence over the years. She had seen them since Ruona had also forwarded to her but she didn’t come out to explain at first then later there was only silence.

She is not someone who can divulge her affairs easily to others. Furthermore, that car accident happened unexpectedly five years ago.

Liang Yin felt cold as that was a near death accident. Even after so many years, she still can’t sit calmly in the driver’s seat.

And it is to the extent that she cannot even think about it.

**********

In Cuihu Villa, Zhou Jianchen was also browsing through Weibo but he was rather agitated.

Originally, he thought the incident would just pass but Liang Yin was still photographed unexpectedly. But fortunately, things were not that bad. Yet due to this, he was in quite a bad mood.

His initial aid was wanting to save Liang Yin from being criticized but who knew things were not like that at all. He, after all, still underestimated Liang Yin’s influences. She still has many fans even after retiring for 5 years, and it is even more now. Even if she was photographed travelling alone, there was not a shred of the so-called ‘washed out’ like those people said, thus it was needless for him to cause such a big buzz. Wasn’t this superfluous in her eyes?

Zhou Jianchen didn’t understand why Liang Yin was sought after by so many people. Didn’t she just act in three films and even irresponsibly disappear for so many years, what’s the merit of the fondness?

The other cellphone on the table had been silent all along. Turning off WeChat and Weibo notifications, he merely enables one text message but the cellphone is still silent all this while.

Liang Yin did not reply to his text message again.

Not wanting to look any more yet he couldn’t sleep, he simply switched to play games. He played only for a while when Ah Zhao called.

“Hello?” He was a little puzzled. He didn’t know why Ah Zhao looked for him so late as it had already past eleven o’clock.

“Brother Chen, it’s not good.” Ah Zhao’s voice on the other side of the phone was a bit anxious, “You should go on Weibo quickly. There is a forum about you and Film Empress Liang!”

Frowning, Zhou Jianchen switched to Weibo and his expression turned unsightly after a glance.

It was just a while when the news in the airport began to stir up again.

Following the heated discussions on the two topics of ‘Zhou Jianchen’s unexpected appearance in the airport’ and ‘The return of Film Empress Liang’, some people finally remembered the rumor of that year. Back then, Zhou Jianchen publicly confessed his feelings for Liang Yin. Hence, some people wondered if it was possible that Zhou Jianchen and Film Empress Liang didn’t just appear at the airport out of coincidence, but actually had travelled together, thus the two people just intentionally walked separately in tandem.

Once this suspicion emerged, it attracted everyone’s focus instantly. Someone then allegedly reported that Zhou Jianchen and Film Empress Liang were indeed on the same flight back to the country.

At once, it caused an uproar. Wanting to find out what was going on, people from all walks of life began to scrutinize one after another. As a result, the more they probed into it, the more alarming people felt.

It was confirmed that Zhou Jianchen had indeed left the country a week ago and a number of people had photographed him abroad.

And strings of sensational news from many years ago were disclosed too as someone had seen Liang Yin abroad. Although the masked face Liang Yin was not clearly seen at that time, it undoubtedly confirmed to be her and the place Liang Yin was seen irrefutably was the country Zhou Jianchen had visited.

In addition, an observant person had noticed that Liang Yin actually wore a long black coat like the black windbreaker Zhou Jianchen wore in the photo last week which appeared like a couple-matching clothes.

It was already late at night and time for everyone’s rest, but once this hot topic came out, no one could sleep at all.

The previous revelation of Xu Lili’s dubious relationship with Zhou Jianchen was already shocking enough. Fortunately, Zhou Jianchen quickly denied it but who knew the ambiguous relationship between Zhou Jianchen and Liang Yin was disclosed now which simply posed a pattern.

In wake of the painstaking investigation, more and more ‘evidence’ was listed out.

Who is Zhou Jianchen? Have he ever seen appearing at the airport and taking photos so patiently with others as souvenirs these years? And he even took the taxi too? Do you really believe that he would come back alone without making the necessary arrangements just to feel the life of ordinary people?

Who is Zhou Jianchen ah, he was regarded as the young master who was most difficult to please in the entertainment industry back then!

Furthermore, even if he was really on a whim, how could he single out the timing? He was at the airport and Film Empress Liang was at the airport too, this was rather too much of a coincidence!

So there was only one possibility: after connecting so many bizarre matters together, Zhou Jianchen and Film Empress Liang had somehow rekindled their previous feelings. This time the two of them had returned together and it went without saying, they thought nobody would know yet. Unexpectedly, they came across Yu Qiao’s fans meeting at the airport. In order not to be discovered, they had to leave separately! Film Empress Liang must have left first in an arranged car while Film Emperor Zhou had stayed to face the crowd and divert the attention …

This analysis was simply so incisive that everyone began to believe it was true and ‘Zhou Jianchen and Liang Yin’ got into hot search immediately.

Except someone very soon doubted it again — if Zhou Jianchen was really dating Film Empress Liang, why did Xu Lili suddenly post such Weibo previously?

Zhou Jianchen’s tolerance had simply reached its limit with the discussions on his Weibo. He had gone through great lengths to keep Liang Yin free from criticism, but in the end, they actually linked her to himself like this!

When had they ever been together! How could you just talk nonsense once you open your mouth! Couple-matching clothes? How could two people wearing the same color clothes simply become lovers, then won’t his lovers queued out of the galaxy!

His Weibo is flooded this time while Liang Yin can’t be substantiated without a Weibo account, so everyone came to his Weibo to seek for confirmation.

The number of comments directly broke the half a million mark.

The author had something to say:

Little Episode:

Below Zhou Jianchen’s Weibo was requests for the appearance of the Male God at first, but after he married Liang Yin, his Weibo became like this:

— Brother Chen, why don’t you post some more pictures of Liang Yin?

— Brother Chen, begging you to share a video of my Goddess!

Film Emperor Zhou expressed his wish to say goodbye to Weibo’s world
