Chapter 1043: The Backyard Is About to Catch Fire
When Liu Zixuan returned from the back mountain, he saw a crowd gathered at the manor’s entrance, many carrying cameras and other equipment.
No doubt, Dream Rain must have arrived!
Liu Zixuan leisurely walked over with his hands in his pockets, taking a peek inside, which surprised him a little!
Because surrounded by the crowd wasn’t Dream Rain, but the little cuties Doudou and Divine Maiden Tongtong, two little beauties who were adored.
"I heard that Goddess Dou will play a major villain in the upcoming Dream Rain drama, your millions of fans have made you a hot topic on Weiyan Headline, with rumors aiming to make you the most beautiful villain across the three realms. Is that true?"
"And, I’ve heard the greatest reason Dream Rain chose Lingxiu Village as the filming location is because her never-disclosed boyfriend is here? Do you know this mysterious man?"
Listening to the reporters’ questions, Doudou calmly smiled, as if already very familiar with the routine: "The drama has been mentioned in the previous trailer. Indeed, I play a villain, but not nearly as exaggerated as my fans say."
"Also, regarding Dream Rain’s boyfriend, you should ask her directly, I’m not in a position to disclose that information."
"Goddess Dou, standing beside you is another extremely beautiful young lady, will she also be in the drama? Is she a new artist signed by Dream Rain’s company?" the reporter asked.
Before Doudou could speak, Divine Maiden Tongtong promptly said: "I’m no artist, but I will join the drama, and play Doudou’s greatest adversary!"
"This..."
"That’s too straightforward, aren’t you afraid of being cursed by Goddess Dou’s millions of fans?"
Tongtong retorted angrily: "I’m not afraid of Doudou, why would I be afraid of her fans!"
"How dare you talk about my fans!!"
Doudou was immediately riled up, regardless of the surrounding reporters and cameras, glaring angrily at Tongtong: "Do you want me to beat you up!"
"Bring it on, I’m not afraid!" Tongtong shouted without any sign of backing down.
Liu Zixuan pinched his forehead, it seemed Gu Yu was right. Ever since Tongtong moved into Lingxiu Village, there had been constant strife and competition between her and Doudou, with Doudou flaunting her fan base and hosting live streams before Tongtong.
Tongtong relied on her formidable array skills, occasionally creating peculiar arrays to tease Doudou.
At first, Liu Zixuan had doubted this, thinking they were of similar age and should be good friends during their youth.
Yet the scene before him left Liu Zixuan a bit dumbstruck.
Before the reporters could ask more questions, Liu Zixuan stepped right in, "You two, stop fighting!"
"Brother Xuan, she bullied me!" Doudou pouted, tears welling in her eyes.
Tongtong crossed her arms in a princess-like pose, looking pitifully at Liu Zixuan: "Big brother, it’s Doudou who’s being unreasonable!"
"Well..." Liu Zixuan scratched his head: "Why don’t we go inside? There are so many reporters here, it affects your beautiful images!"
"Hmph!"
Doudou and Tongtong exchanged glances, simultaneously let out a light hum, and turned into the manor!
Seeing such an entertaining scene being disrupted by Liu Zixuan, those reporters weren’t pleased and immediately surrounded him.
"Sir, how can you do this, we barely managed to interview Goddess Dou!"
"Exactly, who are you, don’t you know our interview is very important!"
"You’ve completely disrupted our shooting plan, you need to compensate!"
"Stop!"
The incessant chatter filled his ears, Liu Zixuan shouted loudly: "Will you keep rambling on? Two little girls are about to fight, don’t you know to persuade them, instead of filming, have some conscience?"
"How can you insult people like this!"
"Exactly, what makes you think you are!"
Liu Zixuan rubbed his temples, then shouted outwards: "Huzi, clear the scene for me!"
"Brother Xuan, I can’t clear the scene."
Huzi had long been watching from outside, but he was holding a stance of enjoying the spectacle.
"What the hell, am I not the boss anymore?" Liu Zixuan cursed impatiently.
Huzi pursed his lips: "These were invited by Dream Rain, saying she needs to publicly announce something about the roles, I can’t ruin what Dream Rain is planning, can I!"
"Sir, you just mentioned Dream Rain’s sister-in-law, does that mean the mysterious man is your brother?" a reporter seized the loophole in Huzi’s words and asked directly.
"Ahem!" Before Huzi could speak, Jiang Yunxuan, who was standing aside, flicked his hair with excessive flair and smiled proudly: "For this question, you can ask me."
With that, the crowd of reporters ignored Liu Zixuan and swarmed towards Jiang Yunxuan, bustling with questions.
In their eyes, news about Dream Rain was surely more explosive than about Doudou. They naturally didn’t want to miss such a golden opportunity.
An ear of relative tranquility, Liu Zixuan walked over to Huzi: "Where is Dream Rain?"
"Inside chatting with those sisters-in-law." Huzi grinned cheekily: "Brother Xuan, you’re the lead today, you need to present yourself as mysterious and gentlemanly before the reporters, otherwise wouldn’t you betray the identity Dream Rain sister-in-law has crafted for you all this time!"
"Isn’t it just a drama, what’s there to be mysterious about!" Liu Zixuan waved.
"Goodness, don’t underestimate this drama!"
Huzi pulled Liu Zixuan aside: "Just between us, this is Dream Rain’s last stop on her acting career, after this drama, she’ll retire completely."
"Retire?" Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow, a bit puzzled.
"I just heard inside, seems Dream Rain sister-in-law doesn’t want to face the public anymore, wishes to leave that circle and quietly stay by your side. Moreover, calling the reporters today, it’s related to you."
Liu Zixuan frowned: "Isn’t it to promote the drama? How is that related to me?"
"Dream Rain sister-in-law wants to announce to the world that you are her boyfriend." Huzi said each word distinctly.
Upon hearing this, Liu Zixuan was taken aback: "Damn, for real?"
"Of course it’s real. The staff who arrived with Dream Rain said it personally." Huzi shrugged.
Liu Zixuan hastily pushed Huzi away: "Damn it, there’ll be trouble in the backyard, if those aunties find out, won’t they kill me in my sleep?"
Huzi paused to think for a moment: "Oops, after the public announcement, you and Dream Rain will be famous, how could those sisters-in-law possibly dismiss you!"
He continued to mutter sagely: "Indeed, having fewer girlfriends is better!"
