Chapter 343: The Twenty-second Day in the Entertainment World

Chapter 343: Day Twenty-Two in the Entertainment World

So she had already adjusted her strategy, planning to find opportunities to create CP buzz with others and gain followers.

Unfortunately, Miao Bin had been glued to An Yi's side the whole time, and Cang Xingjin also wanted to do the same but was too proud to admit it. Bo Yangxia and Hao Yangyang seemed to have something brewing between them, practically a done deal... but now, Yu Ziyun had dropped this nuclear bomb, and everyone's plans had to go back to the drawing board!

As for Ruan Bingxuan... Lin Yan glanced at her and rolled her eyes internally. That girl had plenty of interactions with An Yi and Cang Xingjin, and there were tons of CP fans online, but Lin Yan could tell that whatever flutter Ruan Bingxuan felt was probably more because of An Yi.

Whatever, as long as she could gain followers, it didn't matter!

Ruan Bingxuan's mood at that moment was indeed a tangled mess of emotions.

When she heard Yu Ziyun's words, a feeling she couldn't quite name—whether disappointment or relief—surged up in her.

She had to admit that she was into An Yi; that racing heart didn't lie.

But at the same time, she knew full well that to An Yi, she was probably no different from anyone else—always kept at the same warm but polite arm's length.

Screw it. Time to focus on the grind!

The sunny smile on Miao Bin's face had frozen solid. The hand that had been on An Yi's shoulder had long since dropped, his fingers twitching slightly.

He looked at Yu Ziyun and An Yi, at the undisguised look in Yu Ziyun's eyes, and a fierce wave of resentment surged in his chest.

Cang Xingjin's face was even darker.

He couldn't believe Yu Ziyun would just blurt that out on live TV.

Wasn't he scared of the backlash? Worried about wrecking his career and his family's name? Or... were his feelings for An Yi strong enough to make him not give a damn?

That thought pushed Cang Xingjin's lingering resentment to its breaking point, while also sparking a sense of absurdity and a low, simmering anger.

He looked at An Yi, hoping to see panic, embarrassment, rejection, or at least a flicker of surprise.

But there was none of that.

When Yu Ziyun dropped "I came for An Yi," An Yi just tilted his head a little, his clear eyes resting calmly on Yu Ziyun, as if weighing every word, every look behind those words.

Yu Ziyun didn't back down or get rattled by An Yi's calm.

Instead, he edged closer, close enough to catch An Yi's clean, fresh scent.

He locked eyes with An Yi, his gaze sharp as a knife but burning with a fierce fire underneath. His voice dropped: "I watched you on this show, watched you with the other guests... I got jealous."

He owned up to his jealousy without a filter: "So the second I got the chance, I chased after you."

His voice went low: "An Yi... can you... give me a shot?"

"Holy shit! A straight-up confession! This is wild!!"

"Jealous! He said he's jealous! Girls up there, you called it!"

"A man shouldn't be so petty. Your wife flirts a bit on a show—let it slide. Chasing after him like this is just tacky!"

"A man should have some dignity!"

"An Yi's heart rate... is it... still not moving? (Shocked)"

"No wait! It just ticked up a tiny bit!"

"Okay then! A rock-solid heart! (LOL)"

"..."

Everyone's hearts were pounding, all eyes glued to An Yi.

Cang Xingjin's fist clenched at his side, Miao Bin held his breath, Lin Yan looked ready to bounce off the walls, and Ruan Bingxuan bit her lower lip.

An Yi kept looking at Yu Ziyun like that. After a long beat, he let out a soft laugh.

He cocked his head a little: "Sure."

Just two words. He said yes!

Lin Yan smirked. No wonder even a bombshell like her couldn't get his heart racing!

So he was gay! That explains everything.

Yu Ziyun's pupils blew wide the second he heard those two words, and then the fire he'd been holding back caught fuel, blazing up like crazy.

He stared at An Yi, like he couldn't believe those two words were real, his mouth curling up into a pleased, almost smug grin: "Good."

He said it again, his voice thick with satisfaction.

The live chat went absolutely insane at that moment.

"AHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

"He agreed! An Yi agreed! Oh my god!"

"A live coming-out plus a live acceptance of pursuit?! Is this something I can watch in Chinese entertainment?! (What a huge surprise for His Majesty, reward! .jpg)"

"Badass."

"Director? Is the director still alive?! Get close-ups! I need to see everyone's expression! I'm going to do a detailed analysis later!"

"Ooh~ such a subtle atmosphere~ Miao Bin's smile froze! Cang Xingjin's face went dark! I knew those two guys were off!"

"Bo Yangxia... forget it, his look of amusement is way too obvious! You absolute straight guy, go play somewhere else!"

"Lin Yan is smirking! She's definitely smirking!"

"Lawyer Yu's smile! Oh my god! So smug!"

"To pursue the one I love, I went on a dating show. He was the unattainable moon above, and everyone on the show was head over heels for him. Seeing this, I smiled. They'll never understand the scenery beneath his clothes—the fair... To find out what happens next, tune in next time!"

"Upstairs, you—!!"

"..."

The chat descended into complete chaos, with fonts and symbols of every color refreshing faster than the eye could track. The live stream's online viewer count shot up in a vertical spike, and the platform's tech department was in a frenzy, urgently expanding server capacity.

As for social media's trending list, "dominating the charts" was no longer the right word—it was practically "nuked." The top ten spots were all occupied by related hashtags, each followed by an explosive "HOT" tag:

#Yu Ziyun An Yi Give Me a Chance#

#AnYi Okay#

#Love Relativity Live Coming Out (Trending)#

#Showbiz Gay Couple#

#Miao Bin Couldn't Keep His Poker Face#

#Cang Xingjin Scowling#

#Brazen Gay Couple Going Wild#

#Most High-Energy Moment in Dating Show History#

#Is the Director Okay??#

The internet was completely split down the middle—supporters celebrated, seeing this as fearless true love, breaking conventions, romantic!

Opponents slammed it, arguing the show's values were problematic and it was just clout-chasing!

More people were purely drama-hungry netizens, excited by this unprecedented shitshow.

But regardless, *Love Relativity* hit an absurd peak in attention—truly the talk of the town.

In the live studio, after the initial shock that nearly made them lose it, the director's team's professional instincts forced them to steady themselves.

A voiceover, barely containing its excitement, announced the next group activity, pulling the situation back onto the show's scripted track.

This jackpot of attention—they weren't about to let it slip away!
