They don't actually think I like them, do they?

As expected, Lin Han should have thought of this long ago; he came to this conclusion the first time he read Xu Hui's novel.

Anyone who likes this guy's novels is definitely not a normal person!

Once you know the reason, things become much easier.

"I think it's because Hui-ge is under too much pressure! He's not usually like this. It's probably the first time he's met fans, so he's a little nervous," Lin Han said.

022. The most down-to-earth celebrity!

"Is that so?" Xiaoya asked thoughtfully.

Soon, they arrived at their destination. Lin Han and Xiao Ya stepped out of the carriage and saw Xu Hui leaning against the wall, lost in thought.

While Lin Han was surrounded, Xu Hui didn't notice that the two of them hadn't followed and got on the subway ahead of him.

"Hui Da!"

From afar, Xiaoya raised her hand and called out to Xu Hui.

Xu Hui was taken aback, turned his head, and saw the two of them.

Just then, a look of panic flashed across Xu Hui's face, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he climbed down from the wall and walked over quickly.

Lin Han seemed to realize that the atmosphere was not right, and slowly moved a step to the side to make room for the two of them.

"Xiaoya."

"Hmm?" the girl asked, puzzled.

Xu Hui's serious demeanor left Xiao Ya somewhat bewildered. Similarly, Lin Han also sensed that something was amiss.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to walk so fast! I left you behind! I absolutely don't have any issues with you because of what happened tonight. On the contrary, I think you're a very nice girl. Thank you for liking my novel!"

After Xu Hui finished speaking, the air suddenly became quiet.

Lin Han was dumbfounded; he didn't understand a single word his good brother said.

No, what are you apologizing for?!

If you walk fast, you walk fast, why explain so much?!

This guy is such a simp!

He almost perfectly fulfilled Lin Han's imagination of an autistic rat-like person who had never been in a relationship—extremely sensitive, extremely humble, and constantly apologizing and explaining to girls.

If a girl is a few minutes late in replying to a message, you have to give her a long explanation, but if she's several hours late, you have to reply instantly. That's probably the kind of person I am.

Now, just because they were walking too fast and accidentally got separated, they came over with a stern face to apologize.

The impressive image that Xu Hui had built up during the meal was completely shattered by his own actions!

Before even chatting with Xiaoya, Lin Han had already wanted to kick this good-for-nothing to death.

But now.

"Pfft!"

Xiaoya covered her mouth and laughed.

The little girl's sweet smile instantly broke the cold atmosphere.

That smile deeply touched Xu Hui's heart.

Xu Hui's face flushed red instantly, and the young man stood there dumbfounded, at a loss for what to do. He didn't understand what Xiao Ya was laughing at.

"It's okay, you don't need to explain so much to me."

Although Xiaoya said this, there was no blame in her tone; in fact, there was a hint of doting.

At this moment, in Xiaoya's eyes, the clueless and naive Xu Hui was innocent and adorable.

"I......."

Xu Hui didn't know what to say. He stammered for a long time, but in the end, he stared at Xiao Ya's face for a long time, lost in thought.

"Okay, let's go."

Lin Han smiled upon learning everything, breaking the two-day period of ambiguity.

Everyone walked towards the subway station exit, except for Xu Hui, who still looked confused and didn't know what had happened.

Lin Han stopped when he reached the subway station exit.

"I'll accompany you this far. You two can walk the rest of the way to school on your own."

"Why?" Xu Hui had barely uttered the question when Lin Han glared at him.

I thought I was a pretty straight guy, but now it seems there's a reason why Hui-ge was my only brother in high school.

"Okay, see you next time, Orange Brother!" Xiaoya said.

"Orange...Orange Brother?" Xu Hui looked at Lin Han in surprise, unaware that Lin Han had been recognized at the subway station earlier.

"Brother Orange, you don't mind if I post the photo on my WeChat Moments, right? I'll just say it was a chance encounter!" Xiaoya said excitedly.

"Then send it." Lin Han said helplessly. They'd already taken a group photo, so one more wouldn't make a difference.

As they were about to leave, Xu Hui pulled Lin Han aside again and asked anxiously,

"Lin Han, what am I going to do after you leave? I don't know how to talk!"

Lin Han calmed Xu Hui down and said,

"Just be yourself normally, be yourself in front of her, that's all. You don't need to pretend."

"real or fake?"

"Really, just be your most authentic self."

"Could I ask her for her fishnet stockings to make tea with? I've been eyeing them the whole way here, I'm so tempted!"

Lin Han kicked Xu Hui in the shin, and the latter winced in pain.

"I'm leaving!"

"Take her home!"

After saying that, Lin Han turned and left.

After walking a few steps, Lin Han turned back and looked at Xu Hui and Xiao Ya's backs.

A slight smile involuntarily appeared on the boy's face.

Xu Hui, that silly boy, your good days are really coming!

Could it be, like in his novels, that the rat-man who was withdrawn for three years in high school finally finds his redemption in college?

Lin Han didn't know.

Just looking at their backs, I felt a little dazed for a moment.

He imagined what it would be like to walk together with the girl he liked.

It seems...not bad.

But first, you need to have a girl you like, right?

......

In the afternoon, Lin Han opened his phone to browse the internet, and a trending topic popped up at the top of the screen.

Click on it, and you'll be struck by lightning upon opening!

Lin Han's photo on the subway was taken by someone and posted online.

The most down-to-earth celebrity—JuZiJam was recognized on the subway!

This happened just two hours ago, and it's already ranked eighth on the trending topics list!

Lin Han probably never expected that simply taking the subway would excite so many netizens.

However, for most netizens, the impact of this photo of Lin Han taking the subway was simply too great!

"Wow! He really doesn't think of himself as a celebrity!"

"Hahaha, Brother Orange is so down-to-earth!"

"Big shorts, white short-sleeved shirt, hahaha, Brother Orange doesn't care about his image at all!"

"It's so great to like Brother Orange! He writes great songs, is low-key online, and is just like an ordinary person in real life. He's truly a breath of fresh air in the entertainment industry!"

In no time, the entire internet was flooded with positive reviews.

It's safe to say that this photo has completely boosted Lin Han's public image!

Even a long-time hater of Orange Jam on Weibo, someone who used to frequently write lengthy posts criticizing Orange Jam's songs, couldn't help but comment under this trending topic.

"Compared to those arrogant, high-class celebrities who make a huge fuss like they're going to a funeral, people like Orange Jam who are single-mindedly focused on their creative work are truly someone the entertainment industry should learn from..."

Lin Hanren sat at home, and traffic came from the sky.

Seeing himself looking so unconcerned about his appearance in the photos, Lin Han actually felt a bit embarrassed. He always used to be so conscious of his appearance when he appeared in public!

Damn it, couldn't you have used a more handsome photo?

It's one thing to post it, but it's gone viral!

Lin Han increasingly felt that his current fame was not due to his own talent, but entirely due to the contrast with his peers in the entertainment industry.

If they found out that the ceiling of their old rental apartment leaked water from the toilet, wouldn't they have an orgasm on the spot?

However, this was not the peak of Lin Han's online traffic today.

In the evening, Orange Jam's new song "Hair Like Snow" was officially released!

023. Unlimited skill displays!

Actually, Lin Han had already decided to avoid writing love songs as much as possible after "Seven Mile Fragrance." The main reason was that these songs didn't generate much "collapse index" (a measure of popularity or negative impact).

However, from the Cello Concerto in E minor to "The Rain Is Still Falling".

Lin Han's actions are becoming increasingly intense, and his "collapse index" is indeed much higher than before.

However, the money earned was far less than that of the previous love songs. After all, most fans still preferred the love songs written by Orange Jam. The subsequent songs obviously had lower popularity and clicks.

So Lin Han faced a dilemma in music creation: writing love songs would earn him more money, but it meant he was stagnating in the entertainment industry.

Should we take a longer-term view and focus on earning Honkai Index to improve our abilities, or should we focus on making the money we can earn right now?

During this period, Lin Han adopted the former approach.

However, when he was inspired by Su Ruxue, he did not hesitate and wrote "Hair Like Snow" directly.

This reflects that Lin Han's creative process is actually quite spontaneous; no matter what considerations he has, nothing is more important than his own "spur-of-the-moment inspiration" and "expression of feelings."

When the mood strikes, nothing can stop me, not even the King of Heaven himself. I can even get by with the work of an old woman like Aoi Sora.

This song, written by Lin Han in a casual moment, has led countless netizens to see it as a sign of divine intervention!

"My youth is back! Orange God has finally written a love song again!"

"Two months! I haven't heard a new love song from Ju Sheng for two whole months. Do you know how I got through that?!"

"Waaaaah, I thought Brother Orange didn't believe in love anymore!"

"It's not that Orange God's recent new songs are bad, it's just that I still can't forget the thrill Orange God's love songs brought me..."

The announcement of the new song "Hair Like Snow" has just been released. Many people haven't even heard the song yet, but just hearing that it's a love song, they can't help but pop champagne on Weibo.

That's the charm of Marmalade!

It has become a brand name; once the name is established, many people are willing to pay for it!

Just like Makoto Shinkai's "three-year promise," Makoto Shinkai's golden brand is so useful. Even a film like "Reme's Journey," which lacks sincerity and originality and is obviously just a cheap cash grab by the old scoundrel Makoto Shinkai, still manages to make people think that he signed some kind of gambling agreement and was forced to make a movie. The box office even surpassed that of "Your Name" back then. It just goes to show how good the family's glory is.

However, Lin Han is clearly not that kind of person. So far since his debut, he has not had any intention of ruining his reputation with truly bad songs.

When the first batch of fans finished listening to "Hair Like Snow", they could hardly find a suitable adjective to express their feelings other than "shocked"!

This time, "Hair Like Snow" is absolutely top-notch in terms of melody, lyrics, connotation, and the allusions and meanings behind it, in every aspect, when placed in the context of contemporary love songs!
