Forcefully Doting on You

“Also, contact the “Rookie Stars” production team later. For tomorrow night’s program, have them show the clip of me teaching Mu Cai to dance.”

“On another note-” And as he said those words, his already expressionless face turned even colder, “Go find out who’s behind this.”

“You got it!” Yang Cheng replied cheerily. Before they could finish, he paused, and followed up, “Boss, those ChenCai ship fans, do we need to redirect or deal with them?”

Although one could say Gu Yunchen’s previous decisions were all to help Mu Cai, it could also just be because he didn’t want to draw more heat to himself, while still establishing his newcomer-helping, good samaritan image. All these reasons could be used to justify Gu Yunchen’s actions.

As for the ChengCai ship, if this matter wasn’t dealt with soon, it might break the loner image his boss had always maintained for marketing purposes.

Yang Cheng was quite curious about why he had chosen to deal with the matter this way now.

Gu Yunchen paused for a moment, his voice lowering, “Don’t concern yourself with it for now, I have to think about it more….”

At noon, Mu Cai, who genuinely believed there had been something wrong with his eyes all morning, opened Weibo again while he was eating lunch, and came across a promoted post on his homepage.

Gu Yunchen: I’m happy to have such an adorable fan. It would be better if this fan was a bit more skilled at dancing, otherwise it would be too tiresome to keep teaching him [doge emoji] // “Rookie Stars” Official Weibo: Entering the entertainment world for your idol – is that something to make fun of?

Mu Cai: ???

This Weibo post immediately stirred up big waves

As soon as Gu Yunchen made his stance clear, the news previously released by the gossip accounts backfired —If the earlier Weibo posts were right about Mu Cai pursuing Gu Yuchen onesidedly and even sexually harassing him, then why would he speak up in defense of Mu Cai now?

Of course, some anti-fans attempted to use the fact that Mu Cai was Mo Hengqing’s younger brother, saying that Gu Yunchen must have been thinking of Mo Hengqing when he chose to justify those actions. But the statement released simultaneously, by the Gu Yunchen Actor Studio, was a big slap in the face to the naysayers.

The statement released by the studio severely condemned the gossip account’s interpretation of a fan’s love for their idol as an unsolicited, one-sided pursuit. It also expressed that Mu Cai and Gu Yunchen had known each for a while, and the so-called bathroom sexual harassment incident was from a time when they were simply met each other in the bathroom while coincidentally eating at the same restaurant.

At the same time, a legal letter was posted alongside the official statement. With that the gossip accounts finally admitted defeat, and deleted their previous Weibo posts.

Mu Cai was almost in a daze when he clicked open the comments beneath the Idol’s Weibo post:

[Mu Cai’s Little Fan Girl: I got to see Gu Ge use the doge emoji in my lifetime [doge emoji]]

8000+ likes

[Caicai Worldwide Number One Cutey: Thank you Gu Ge! I knew our Caicai wasn’t that kind of a person, *cries*.]

7000+ likes

[lilililili: Gu Ge is teaching Caicai to dance! I’m so excited for tomorrow night’s broadcast!]

6000+ likes

Mu Cai: “……”

One must say, Gu Yuchen really was the main character gong —he was so quick-witted, that with just a short sentence, not only did he manage to dispel the rumors but also cause a big surge of interest in the show!

As Mu Cai thought this, he clicked the follow button next to Gu Yunchen’s account with a bit of guilt. He had just been saying he liked Gu Yunchen in the interview posted that morning, but he didn’t even follow him on Weibo —his actions really didn’t match his words.

He had to correct it!

Then a second after, a new notification appeared on Mu Cai’s Weibo.

[You have a new follower in the past 7 days: Gu Yunchen.]

That was so fast!

Mu Cai felt a little guilty, as if he had gotten caught doing something bad. He quickly contemplated a response, and made the repost on Weibo:

Mu Caicaicai: Thanks Gu Ge, I had always followed Gu Ge with my private account before, now I can finally follow you with my main account [happy emoji] // Gu Yunchen: I’m happy to have such an adorable fan. It would be better if this fan was a bit more skilled at dancing, otherwise it would be too tiresome to keep teaching him [doge emoji]

This way, he could explain why his actions hadn’t matched his earlier words! Mu Cai felt that his tactic was very smart. He turned off his phone, and continued merrily eating his lunch.
