Chapter 99: Chapter 99 (Seeking the First Subscription) Xu Tongxue, Long Time No See in Ten Years

Nian Shuyu had just finished the first sentence when the laughter erupted.

The guests couldn't hold back their laughter; even Xu Qingyan couldn't resist. He had listened to Bai Jinze's Mary Sue love letter without laughing, but You Zijun's letter was where he finally cracked.

In the living room, apart from Nian Shuyu on the stage, the female guests were a complete laughing mess.

"Hahaha!!! This letter is hilarious, my stomach hurts from laughing so hard!" Shen Jinyue was laughing so hard she fell backwards onto the floor, her face flushed and sliding off a mask of composure.

Pei Muchan pressed her lips together, her head down as she covered her mouth to stifle her laughter.

Lin Wanzhou turned away, her shoulders trembling slightly with repressed laughter. Cui Ying, who was sitting next to her, didn't have much of a reaction, laughing for a while before occasionally glancing at her cellphone.

The barrage in the live feed was even crazier, with "hahaha" scrolling across the screen at a relentless pace.

"I've got that old problem of cringing on behalf of others again, I've already curled my toes into a three-room flat with living room, welcoming a 1.7 meter tall busty loli to move in."

"God, that voice bubble sound, hahaha."

"I bet this guy's going to be famous, don't stop, keep the music playing and read on!"

Xu Qingyan was delighted, having only wanted to see what kind of nonsense this green tea bootlicker You Zijun had written. Little did he know the kid actually did his homework.

"Sad boy, don't cry."

Damn it! You Zijun clenched his fists, burying himself into the couch. Hearing Xu Qingyan's schadenfreude, there was nothing more pitiful than a social death—broadcasted live across the whole network at that.

His future bloopers would be in high definition, uncensored for the whole world to see. His life was over.

The living room was in chaotic amusement from the love letter reading, and Nian Shuyu stood on the stage with a complex expression. She turned to ask a crew member.

"Do I have to keep reading?"

"According to the rules of the game, you generally can't stop, please continue."

"No! I quit! I give up this opportunity!" You Zijun sprang up, "I'm not filming anymore, I want to go home!"

"In typhoon weather, ships cannot leave the harbor," Xu Qingyan helpfully reminded before quickly changing the subject, "Yo, little brother You, what's wrong with a man having a bit of guile? What's there to be embarrassed about!"

"They say men and women are equal, and I think it's time for that equality. Why is it that when girls are sly, it's cute, but when guys do it, it's funny?"

"Thank you so much!" You Zijun completely deflated, crouching on the floor and covering his face.

Xu Qingyan paused, rose from the sofa, and strode toward the mailbox. After taking the letter from the staff's hand, he unfolded it, and the sheet slowly came into view.

He spread out the folded paper, carefully read the first line, and began to read aloud.

"Xu classmate, it's been ten years."

As soon as the first sentence fell in the living room, the guests who were making tea by the stove paused their actions. Pei Muchan raised his head, his expression growing more and more serious.

The live chat exploded in an instant, with exclamations flying everywhere.

"Ten years?"

"Did Xu Dog and Zhouzhou know each other ten years ago? Oh no! Could there really be something between them?"

"Script, it's all scripted. Who is Zhouzhou, and what kind of person is Xu Dog? Are they even a match? Being classmates is already a stretch, what star dates a nobody!"

Xu Qingyan didn't feel much about it; ten years not seeing each other was also a fact. He glanced over and continued to read.

"Youth was chaotic and war-torn, all the warm air in my embrace, even if it turned into the wind, didn't dare meet you. After such a long time, even regret begins."

"For you, I know very little."

"Fortunately, we met halfway through life, yet still young as the wind."

The letter ended there, like a short and simple poem. Lin Wanzhou seemed to have stuffed all her words into those few short lines, embedding them in every stroke of the pen.

Sharpness hidden everywhere, never mentioning like, yet joy was omnipresent.

It was like climbing a hill to find no one, then another mound still finding no sight of you. You were nowhere to be found, yet you were everywhere. Turning back, I found you standing at the very tip of my heart.

Between the lines, one could feel the joy of a long-awaited reunion.

Just as she wrote in the last line, fortunately, we met halfway through life, yet we are still as youthful as the wind.

He turned to look, and Lin Wanzhou was also looking at him, smiling sweetly in a rare tilt of her head. Pure as the early snow on a winter mountain, a smile that blossoms flowers.

"Cough cough." Xu Qingyan sniffed, somewhat embarrassed as he averted his gaze.

He truly was close to losing his composure—a covert confession from the pop diva, bloody hell, who could maintain their Zen? He really didn't know how Elder Tang managed to get through the Country of Women, truly badass!

All these talks of detachment, seeing with one's own eyes, who could withstand it?

He pinched the letter, folded it again, and put it back in the envelope. Before he had a chance to step down, a staff member called out again, "...please Xu Qingyan..."
