I put you on a dating reality show, but I didn't make you a viral sensation!

"They should be here soon, right?"

"They should be here soon. I saw on the live stream that they've already gotten into the car."

"Will I really be able to wait for Lin Gou? I rushed over right after class!"

"Finally, we can see the real person!"

The designated meeting point for the program was already surrounded by a dense crowd.

After learning about the meeting point, the news spread like wildfire, and many local fans, passersby, and even bored college students who came after hearing the news all gathered around the meeting point, just to wait for Lin Zhou to appear.

The production team was initially worried about maintaining order on site, but the audience was quite well-behaved. They simply stood quietly to the side without making any noise or blocking the entrance or the road. They were very polite.

The staff member in charge of maintaining order at the scene looked surprised. Having worked on dating reality shows for so long, this was the first time he had ever seen a guest with such high popularity that fans would make a special trip to the meeting point to wait for them.

When the news reached the program's backstage, Li Sujuan was a little bewildered as she looked at the soaring number of viewers watching the live stream and then at the audience waiting at the meeting point.

Have these two become this famous?

In all her years of doing variety shows, this is the first time she has seen a non-celebrity guest gain such popularity, attracting a large number of loyal fans in just a few days, with some fans even making special trips to support them.

This is even more exaggerated than some popular celebrities.

"Maintain order, prevent crowding among guests and fans, and ensure the safety of guests throughout the event!"

Li Sujuan immediately gave instructions over the walkie-talkie.

Not long after, a taxi slowly drove into view, and the four people got out one by one.

Seeing the crowd surrounding them, Lu Xiao and Su Man were completely stunned.

"What... what's going on?"

Jiang Muxue was also startled by the scene before her, and subconsciously moved closer to Lin Zhou, gently grabbing his sleeve with her small hand.

Lin Zhou was also a little confused.

Why are there so many people?

Is this a new segment in the program?

The next second, a small commotion broke out in the crowd, and everyone's eyes fell on Lin Zhou. Phone cameras were pointed at him and Jiang Muxue, and people even rushed towards them.

"Lin Zhou!!!"

"Lin Gou, we are your fans!"

He had actually noticed the situation here while he was in the car.

But I never expected it to be aimed at me.

Seeing the crowd surging towards them, Lin Zhou didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Female fans are alright; at least they'll call out "Lin Zhou" when they meet. But male fans are different; they start by calling him "Lin Dog."

This completely stumped him.

Seeing Lin Zhou and Jiang Muxue surrounded by a group of people, Lu Xiao's eyes widened: "Are all these Lin Zhou's fans?"

Su Man also looked astonished and sighed softly, "That's too exaggerated..."

Lu Xiao and Su Man quickly stood aside, looking at the scene before them, completely shocked.

Were all these people here for Lin Zhou?

Are they already that popular?

"Make way."

"Make way!"

Staff rushed to the rescue, but found it was impossible to squeeze in.

There were just too many people. While Lin Zhou and Jiang Muxue were being surrounded by a large group of people taking pictures, more and more people were still pouring in from outside.

This scene is comparable to that of a top-tier celebrity being greeted at the airport.

"Nearby staff all went over to help maintain order!"

Li Sujuan once again took urgent command.

The cameraman on the side had been completely pushed out, and when he raised his camera, all he could see was a dense mass of heads.

The comments section was also exceptionally lively.

[This is hilarious, Lin Gou got cornered again.]

Lin Gengxin is really popular right now.

[I feel like she's ready to debut!]

Seeing my son so successful fills me with immense pride as a father.

"Everyone, please step back a little bit, don't push, be careful not to fall."

Seeing a large crowd trying to squeeze around Jiang Muxue, Lin Zhou quickly shouted.

However, the effect was minimal, and Lin Zhou could only protect Jiang Muxue behind him.

The driver who brought the four people was also stunned, surrounded by a group of people, and he couldn't get out.

He was also a little curious.

Could it be that I just delivered a big star?

Finally, the reinforcements pushed their way through and, with a combination of pulling and tugging, managed to get the two onto the bus.

Meanwhile, the other groups of guests who arrived late at the meeting point also had different expressions when they saw this scene.

When they learned that the group had gathered here because of Lin Zhou, everyone was stunned, and their faces showed disbelief.

Are we really participating in the same dating reality show?

Jiang Yi's expression was the most interesting.

He is, after all, a legitimate artist who has acted in dramas and released singles, and is considered somewhat famous.

After recording the show for so long, not only have fans gathered to support him offline, but even passersby haven't recognized him much.

As a result, Lin Zhou, an ordinary person, wrote two songs while participating in a dating reality show, and was immediately surrounded by fans, becoming even more popular than Lin Zhou, a legitimate celebrity.

He was furious.

But it's difficult to trigger.

As the group boarded the bus, the atmosphere inside instantly became quite subtle.

Everyone looked at Lin Zhou with a hint of envy.

After all, most of them didn't participate in this dating reality show with the intention of finding a romantic relationship.

The bus slowly drove away, and the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.

The people inside the car started chatting.

The conversation quickly shifted from the date to Lin Zhou.

Zhou Wenya laughed and said, "Lin Zhou, you're so popular now! There were so many fans outside just now, it was more lively than any A-list celebrity support event I've ever seen."

Gu Yan nodded as well:

"So many people came all the way to wait for you in person, it's so enviable."

Faced with the praise from everyone, Lin Zhou remained calm and smiled slightly: "Everyone just likes the song, it's not that it's popular."

"This isn't considered popular?"

Xia Wanxing couldn't help but speak up:

"You are so talented, you sing well, you are good at songwriting, and now so many people like you, you can definitely develop in the entertainment industry."

"Yeah, with your talent and current popularity, you'd definitely be a huge star in the entertainment industry. Don't you really have any plans to debut in the entertainment world?"

As soon as he said that, all eyes in the carriage immediately focused on Lin Zhou. Even Jiang Yi, who had been feeling complicated, couldn't help but look up at him, wanting to hear his thoughts.

If Lin Zhou were truly willing to change his mind, their entertainment company would definitely do everything in its power to poach him.

At that time, based on the current trend, Lin Zhou will definitely have a significant advantage over him.

The thought of this possibility made Jiang Yi feel that even killing him would be painful.

Lin Zhou remained firm in his beliefs: "I have no such plans."

The group looked on in astonishment, completely baffled as to why they would give up such a great opportunity to enter the entertainment industry.

If the first song was released because of concerns about being restricted and constrained by the company, then the subsequent songs proved her own strength.

With such talent and popularity, any entertainment company would definitely provide the best resources and support.

Any album or concert he releases will sell like hotcakes.

Making money is arguably the easiest thing to do.

Seeing everyone's puzzled looks, Lin Zhou could only explain, "I write songs simply because I like them. I don't want to be bound by the rules of the entertainment industry. Quietly creating and doing what I want to do is enough."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the car fell silent.

No one expected that Lin Zhou would refuse so decisively, and with such a simple reason, when faced with resources and fame that countless people would fight tooth and nail for.

I don't seek fame, fortune, or resources; I just want to be free.

This is... absolutely outrageous.
