A person in Wuha: The whole internet is urging me to get back together with my ex!

Chen Ye took out his phone, typed with one hand, and sent a WeChat message to Wang Zhengyu: "Old Wang, I have an interview tomorrow morning, can the team postpone it?"

In less than three seconds, Wang Zhengyu replied: "Okay, we were leaving in the afternoon anyway."

He put down his phone, pulled Song Yuqi into his arms, and fell into a deep sleep.

I slept so soundly that I felt like the sun was setting, and it completely made up for all the fatigue of the past few days.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already past eight o'clock the next morning.

The morning sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains.

Song Yuqi had already woken up and was lying on the pillow, her fair little feet dangling in the air.

She quickly swiped her fingers across the screen of her phone, scrolling through short videos, occasionally letting out a giggle.

Chen Ye yawned, then pulled her close and pressed a deep good morning kiss onto her soft lips.

"Stop messing around, I haven't brushed my teeth yet." Song Yuqi pushed him away, her face flushed.

"What, you're looking down on me?" Chen Ye raised an eyebrow and got out of bed.

After washing up, the two dressed casually and strolled downstairs to the restaurant.

As soon as he entered the hotel restaurant, Chen Ye raised his eyebrows.

Goodness, everyone's up and ready to go.

Deng Chao, Lu Han, Chen He, Li Chen, and the others all sat together, eating and chatting, like a large village market.

Chen Ye pulled Song Yuqi over and sat down in a chair by himself.

"Hey, Boss Chen's awake?" Deng Chao, sporting dark circles under his eyes, chewed on a fried dough stick with a lifeless expression. "Thanks to you, Old Wang said there's free time this morning, so I'm finally alive again."

"You guys eat, I'll get you some drinks." Chen Ye walked to the dining table, served himself and Song Yuqi each a bowl of white rice porridge, and also took two boiled eggs.

As soon as he sat down, Chen Ye peeled an egg and casually said, "You guys can play by yourselves after we finish eating. I have to go to work; I have an interview to record."

"An interview? Who came to interview you?" Chen He asked, his mouth full of a steamed bun.

"Lin Jing." Chen Ye placed the peeled eggs on Song Yuqi's plate.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a "thud" was heard.

Lu Han dropped the chopsticks from her hand onto the table.

Deng Chao almost spat out the mouthful of soy milk he had just drunk, choking and coughing repeatedly.

The group of seasoned veterans of the Chinese entertainment industry fell silent instantly, staring at Chen Ye as if he were a monster.

"Say it again? Who?" Li Chen stared wide-eyed.

"Lin Jing." Chen Ye took a bite of a boiled egg, his face showing complete indifference.

The reaction was huge.

Lin Jing is just a reporter, not a terrorist with a gun. Why is she so scared?

These people act all high and mighty on variety shows, but in private they're cowardly as mice.

"Ye Zi, are you crazy?!" Deng Chao whispered, his hands trembling. "That woman is notorious for her ruthlessness! Everyone who's been on her show gets sweaty and practically stripped bare! You just made your comeback and you're already taking on her job? Are you out of your mind?"

"Yeah, bro!" Chen He even stopped eating his steamed bun, his face contorted with pain. "Her mouth is like it's blessed; she always finds a way to hit someone's sore spot. If she says something wrong, it'll be tomorrow's headline!"

Baby and Dilraba nodded frantically with worried expressions.

Chen Ye curled his lip.

Trying to get information out of her? Let her try.

Those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who wear shoes, and they don't have any shameful secrets.

"Alright, stop worrying. After you finish eating, go play in Old Deng's room. I'm going to get back to work." Chen Ye pulled out a tissue to wipe his hands and stood up.

Chen He invited everyone upstairs to play Werewolf, while Chen Ye leisurely strolled back to his room to change clothes.

I had just put on a black casual jacket when my phone vibrated.

Susie sent a WeChat message: "The conference room on the seventh floor has been set up by Lin Jing's team. Just come up directly. Remember to be polite."

Chen Ye put away his phone and ran a hand through his hair in front of the mirror.

Conference room on the seventh floor.

Chen Ye pushed open the door and immediately saw Lin Jing sitting under the fill light.

She wore a well-tailored gray suit, gold-rimmed glasses, and her hair was neatly combed.

The moment he sat there, he exuded a professional aura that said "keep away."

Upon seeing Chen Ye, Lin Jing stood up, extended her right hand, and gave a standard professional smile: "Chen Ye, hello, I've heard so much about you."

"Hello, Teacher Lin." Chen Ye grasped her fingertips briefly before letting go.

Just as the rumors said, this woman is an extremely rational and ruthless character.

The two sat facing each other on the sofa, with the red lights on two high-definition cameras.

Lin Jing pushed up her glasses, looked directly at the camera, and began her opening remarks crisply and directly: "Today, our program has invited Chen Ye, a man who has recently made a comeback online and is very popular. Welcome."

Chen Ye casually raised his hand towards the camera: "Hello everyone."

After the pleasantries, the atmosphere in the meeting room changed instantly.

Lin Jing withdrew her gaze and stared into Chen Ye's eyes: "Chen Ye, you should know the rules for appearing on my show. Today, can we talk about anything?"

Chen Ye leaned back on the sofa, shifting to a more comfortable position, his eyes glazed over.

"Ask anything, anything is fine."

Lin Jing glanced down at the cue card on her thigh, and without the slightest hesitation, the first knife flew out.

"You've been out of the spotlight for over two years, and this comeback, trending on the internet, just happened to be on the set of 'Five Ha'. Right?"

Chen Ye nodded: "Yes."

"Then I want to know," Lin Jing leaned forward slightly, "did you know in advance that Wuha was going to start recording and planned this grand comeback accordingly, or were you genuinely completely unaware, like in the live broadcast?"

Chen Ye chuckled.

"I really don't know." Chen Ye put his hands on his knees, his tone full of disgust. "That day I was sleeping in the hotel when Chen He and the other two old guys called me and said they would take me out for seafood. They tricked me into going. If I had known there were cameras, I wouldn't have answered the phone."

Lin Jing nodded, seemingly unsurprised by the answer, and then dropped her second bombshell.

"But netizens don't think so. Some people are saying that you and Song Yuqi never broke up, and that the so-called peaceful breakup was just to give Song Yuqi a chance to develop her career. They're saying that you two just happened to meet on 5ha and that you were just using the opportunity to create hype and pretend to get back together. What do you think about this?"

So they're starting to dig to death?

Chen Ye stared at Lin Jing's businesslike face, secretly delighted.

This reporter is definitely got something, but unfortunately, what I'm saying is genuine emotion.

"That's a ridiculous statement." Chen Ye looked directly into Lin Jing's eyes. "We did break up back then, clearly and explicitly. I had no idea she was going to film 'Five Ha'. If Lao Wang hadn't invited her as a guest, we still wouldn't be in contact now."

He paused, his gaze becoming extremely aggressive.

"Besides, we really did just make up a few days ago. If I really wanted to create hype, I would have taken her on a dating reality show to make money two years ago when I was at the peak of my career. Why wait until now?"

Her words were flawless, and Lin Jing looked down and turned to a page of the teleprompter.

When she looked up again, her gaze behind her glasses was much sharper.

"Okay, since you're so frank about your relationship issues, let's talk about attitude." Lin Jing's speech quickened. "Many viewers who watched your live stream felt that you were extremely arrogant and even disrespectful to your seniors."

"For example, you were bossy towards Deng Chao, Chen He, and Lu Han, and even physically assaulted them. Also, you spoke very arrogantly to four kings of the Chinese music scene: Jay Chou, Wang Leehom, Tao Zhe, and Lin Junjie, showing absolutely no humility befitting a junior. Some people say you became famous too quickly and have become arrogant. How do you want to respond to this?"

The meeting room was completely silent.

Several cameramen filming the scene trembled slightly.

This is Chen Ye's Achilles' heel, which his haters are constantly trying to exploit, and Lin Jing just brazenly brought it up in front of him.

Upon hearing this question, Chen Ye suddenly laughed.

An extremely relaxed laugh.

I thought there was some amazing move coming, but this is all?

"Teacher Lin, do you rarely watch unscripted reality shows?" Chen Ye asked slowly.

"First of all, I'm very good friends with Jielun, Lihong, Junjie, and Tao Zhe. If I didn't get along with them, would they have nothing better to do than turn down so many things and buy plane tickets overnight to fly to that run-down factory to support me?"

"Do you think that, given their status, they would be swayed by a so-called junior?"

Lin Jing was slightly taken aback by the question, opened her mouth, but couldn't find the words to refute it.

Chen Ye had no intention of giving her a chance to catch her breath and continued to attack.

"Secondly, let's go back to Deng Chao, Lu Han, and Chen He. There are some things I haven't said publicly, and I'll take this opportunity to clarify them on camera."

Chen Ye's smile faded, and his tone became indifferent.

"I am an orphan."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing sat up abruptly.

The cameraman zoomed in on Chen Ye's face.

"I basically grew up in Chen He's house since I was a child," Chen Ye said, looking at the camera.

"He's my cousin, but I treat him like a brother. Our relationship has been like this for over twenty years: he tricks me, I scold him, we hurt each other. If you asked me to bow to him and call him Teacher Chen He now, do you believe he'd call the police and say I'm possessed by a ghost?"

Lin Jing's chest heaved as she quickly reorganized the information in her mind.

A top celebrity has revealed that he is an orphan. Once this news is released, Weibo's servers will crash again.

Chen Ye ignored her shock and continued speaking.

"As for Deng Chao and Lu Han, our private demeanor is completely different from our on-camera persona. They never put on airs in front of me and are completely uninhibited."

"The editing in the variety show might make it seem like I'm bullying them, but you can't judge things by appearances alone," Chen Ye said, leaning back on the sofa.

"Let me give you an example," Chen Ye smiled. "I'm the godfather of Deng Chao's two children."

"If I really am an arrogant, conceited, and disrespectful jerk..."

"Do you think that, given Old Deng's overprotective nature and Lu Han's status in the industry, those two would have been shunned by me long ago? Would I really drag them out of bed in the middle of the night to freeload off them?"

Lin Jing was completely stunned.

Godfather?!

Chen Ye is the godfather of Deng Chao's child?!

The explosiveness of this news is no less than that of the orphan's identity just now.

Who in the entertainment industry doesn't know that Deng Chao and Sun Li are extremely protective of their child? How close must their relationship be for Chen Ye to become his godfather?

The sharp questions I had prepared were now completely useless.

Lin Jing quickly adjusted her posture and regained control of the questioning pace.

The young man in front of me is impossible to confide in. Since I can't confide in him, I'll just follow his line of conversation and dig out some juicy gossip.

Lin Jing adjusted her glasses and stared intently at Chen Ye.

"So, in your opinion, everything shown on camera isn't their true self?"

Lin Jing posed the final question.

"So, what kind of people do you think Deng Chao, Lu Han, and Chen He are in private?"

P.S.: Thanks to Tang Yao for sending two great authors. I'll owe them for now. I've been looking for a place to live and moving, and I also have other things to do. I'll update more when I'm done. I also need to organize the outline. I hope everyone understands!
