The straight man in the entertainment circle

On the first day of the Spring Festival, the whole country is immersed in the joy of the New Year.

Every year on the first day of the Spring Festival, the hot searches are dominated by the Spring Festival Gala program.

This year is certainly no exception.

Early in the morning, all the hot searches on major portal websites were covered by last night’s Spring Festival Gala.

No. 1 on Weibo searches: Spring Festival Gala ratings hit a new high in the past decade

Second: Zhao Hongsi was sent to the hospital for treatment

Third: Lin Li and Chen Qingqing look at each other affectionately

Fifth: Lin Li speaks at an alarming speed

Sixth: Revealing the Secret of Qian Liu’s Magic

Eighth: Lin Li sings "Chinese Kung Fu"

The topic of the Spring Festival Gala on Weibo instantly shot to the top of the list, and netizens left messages one after another. All the things they talked about last night were saved for today.

"Lin Li accounts for three hot searches by himself. Is this more than once?"

"The look between Lin Li and Chen Qingqing after midnight is so sweet. They must be together."

"Lin Li has already written "Peach Blossom Smile" for Chen Qingqing. If you think about it, you will know what it means."

"Yes, the meaning of this song is that in the battle between Lin Li, Tao Yaoyao had the last laugh."

"I love reading comments because you guys are so talented, and I can relate to that."

"Lin Li's recitation is really amazing!"

"Did Lin Li perform two shows last night? No one has ever had this experience in the Spring Festival Gala."

"Lin Li made history when he attended the Spring Festival Gala for the first time?"

"Isn't Lin Li always making history?"

"Qian Liu is so miserable. Every Spring Festival Gala magic is soon revealed, haha."

"Zhao Hongsi went to the hospital, will he be fine? It's really miserable to go to the hospital on the first day of the new year."

"Zhao Hongsi is getting old and it's time to retire."

"It couldn't have been the fall last night. When I saw it, I felt it was a bit hard."

"Teacher Zhao is so dedicated. I hope to get better soon."

"The selection of your favorite program of the Spring Festival Gala has begun. Everyone, go and vote!"

"Lin Li's song "Chinese Kung Fu" sounds great, and I didn't expect Lin Li to be so good at Kung Fu!"

"That's nothing. Go watch the fight in Lin Li's "The Grandmaster", that's exciting!"

"I know, let's go watch "The Grandmaster" now!"

…………

Lin Li slept until noon and got up, and was stunned when he saw the hot search.

Lin Li was not surprised that his broadcast and the song he sang were on the hot search, but the affectionate look between him and Chen Qingqing was on the hot search, which Lin Li did not expect.

If he and Chen Qingqing were looking at each other affectionately on stage, it would be fine. Instead, it was the two of them who were caught looking at each other affectionately in private that made them trending.

Because this gives netizens a sense of excitement about "catching a rape"!

As soon as Lin Li left the room, Song Wenjie came over and asked, "Son, tell me, are you and Chen Qingqing together?"

Lin Changmin sat on the sofa far away and watched TV. The TV was still showing the replay of last night's Spring Festival Gala. But as soon as Lin Li left the room, Lin Changmin muted the TV and focused all his attention on this.

Lin Li knew that his parents had read the hot search, which meant that he had gone to bed late last night, otherwise they would have called him to get up and ask about the situation.

"Not...not together." Lin Li replied.

"We're not together... What's going on with the hot search?" Song Wenjie said, "Don't say it's fake. I watched the video. It doesn't look like you two are okay looking at each other."

There was an animation on the Internet last night of Lin Li and Chen Qingqing looking at each other affectionately when the camera switched to the auditorium. Song Wenjie took out her mobile phone and showed it to Lin Li.

Faced with irrefutable evidence, Lin Li said: "It was just after midnight, and we were saying Happy New Year to each other."

"There are so many people saying Happy New Year to each other. I have never seen anyone like you. We know that Chen Qingqing likes you. Tell mom, do you like her too?"

Lin Li could only say, "Probably a little bit."

"If you like it, you like it. If you don't like it, you don't like it. What does it mean to be a little bit?" Lin Changmin couldn't sit still and said loudly.

Lin Lidao: "That's why I like it!"

"What does it mean to like someone? Do you know what it means to like someone?" Lin Changmin asked angrily when he saw Lin Li looking like a piece of rotten wood.

"Don't be so angry and speak calmly." Song Wenjie advised, then turned to Lin Li and said, "Son, your parents should not have interfered with your freedom, but you are a big star now, and you have to bear the responsibility for some things. Responsible, whether you like it or not is not a child’s play.”

"Mom, I know."

"It's good to know. Now many netizens on the Internet are speculating whether you and Chen Qingqing are together. Do you want to respond?"

"There's nothing to respond to, right?"

"You two looked at each other so much last night, and then you wrote a song "Peach Blossom Smile" for Chen Qingqing. If you didn't respond, everyone would think you were acquiescing."

Lin Li was stunned, thinking that his mother was asking him to respond, but she was actually asking him to deny it.

But when Lin Li thought about how sad he would be if Chen Qingqing saw it, he would deny it.

"No need to respond," Lin Li said.

When Song Wenjie saw that Lin Li was speechless, she sighed and said nothing more.

"Okay, hurry up and wash up and eat. After eating, call your relatives to say New Year greetings. You have to promote a movie this year, and your relatives can't leave, so you still have to make phone calls."

"Um."

After Lin Li had dinner, he called his relatives one by one to wish them a happy new year.

"Lin Li, he's so promising, he even went to the Spring Festival Gala and brought glory to the Lin family!"

"Oh, Lin Li, when will you bring your girlfriend back to us?"

"Lin Li, we like this girl Chen Qingqing very much. We should treat her well."

"Lin Li has grown up and fallen in love. He still remembers when he was a child..."

…………

In previous years, Lin Li went to relatives' homes to pay New Year's greetings and could not talk to the elders for a few words. This year, when he called the elders, they had endless things to say.

Firstly, Lin Li attended the Spring Festival Gala, and secondly, they all thought that Lin Li and Chen Qingqing were together, and they started to gossip, causing Lin Li to explain for a while.

After eight or nine phone calls, which took nearly two hours, Lin Li was really tired. His relatives all thought so, and netizens must have thought that he and Chen Qingqing were together.

Lin Li was about to take a rest when Jiang Da suddenly called.

"The matter between you and Chen Qingqing has been making waves on the Internet. Do you want to respond?"

Lin Li became a little irritated when he heard that Jiang Da was also talking about this matter.

"Is there anything to respond to? She and I just looked at each other, and others can think whatever they want!"

Hearing Lin Li's tone, Jiang Da probably knew that he was tired of being asked.

"Why is it so popular on New Year's Day? Do you think Chen Qingqing will be sad if you make an announcement to sever ties with Chen Qingqing?"

Lin Li remained silent after listening to Jiang Da's words.

"That's it if you don't say anything. Brother, I've been here. Don't you think it's abnormal for a straight man like you to consider Chen Qingqing's feelings so much?"

Lin Li said: "What's wrong..."

"I've been here before. This is how you like her. Why do so many people on the Internet say that you two are together? Isn't it because the love that overflows the screen when you look at each other! Everyone can see it, but you don't know!"

"I always respect your decision. It doesn't matter whether you respond or not. I just want you to know what you feel."

Jiang Da hung up the phone, but his words kept echoing in Lin Li's mind.

Did the whole world see it?

At this time, the replay of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala on TV reached midnight, and Lin Li couldn't help but watch it.

The TV screen just switched to the screen of the live audience.

Lin Li immediately saw the scene of himself and Chen Qingqing looking at each other affectionately in the corner not far behind the camera.

Although they were a little far apart, they could still see the smiles on their faces and the looks in each other's eyes.

Seeing this scene, it was like opening a door in Lin Li's mind.

Like an enlightenment, Lin Li suddenly woke up.

I like Chen Qingqing!

In fact, he had liked her a long time ago, but he didn't quite understand it at that time. In addition, when Chen Qingqing was Tao Yaoyao, and Chen Qingqing was arrested and dropped out of school because of the revelations, Lin Li couldn't figure it out. Do I feel grateful or fond of Chen Qingqing?

But when Lin Li saw this scene on TV, he completely understood that when he looked at Chen Qingqing, he felt no gratitude at all, it was just a simple love between a man and a woman.

The smile I showed at that time and the affection in my eyes were all sincere, and they were the expression of someone who really likes someone!

I like Chen Qingqing!

After understanding what he was thinking, Lin Li felt a lot more relaxed, as if he had solved a problem in his heart.

After tidying up at home, Lin Li went out.

Today is someone else's New Year's Day. He is the star of "The Grandmaster" and must go to promote it.

The premiere of "The Grandmaster" on the first day was arranged at the foot of the Great Wall, with open-air viewing, full of pomp and circumstance.

Zhang Dashong's prestige made nearly half of the performing arts stars in Kyoto come to support him, and the media reporters who were present were also everywhere.

Those who knew it was a movie premiere, but those who didn’t know it thought it was some kind of film festival.

There were many celebrities and directors present, and they were all big names. The reporters were busy with their cameras, but they all remained in order.

However, when Lin Li appeared, reporters gathered around like crazy.

The security guards at the scene rushed over to maintain order, and the two sides collided fiercely.

When people who had arrived early in the distance saw this scene, they all thought it was Zhang Dashong who was coming, and they all gathered around to "escort" him. However, when they saw it, it was Lin Li who was surrounded.

Those people were shocked. There were so many people here today, but none of them caused as much of a sensation as Lin Li's appearance.

It seems that Lin Li has indeed become a superstar.

Reporters shouted questions to Lin Li: "Lin Li, are you and Chen Qingqing together?"

"Lin Li, please answer. Everyone is waiting."

…………

Lin Li knew that these reporters would not miss this opportunity. He waved his hand and all the reporters fell silent.

"I will respond to this matter, but not now. Today is the premiere of the movie "The Grandmaster". Everyone should pay more attention to the movie."

After Lin Li finished speaking, he signed his name at the sign-in desk and left quickly.

Lin Li was sure of his feelings, but he still hadn't decided how to respond, and he couldn't say anything else on this occasion, lest all the limelight of "The Grandmaster" movie be stolen by his own gossip.

The reporters were very upset when they saw Lin Li leaving.

Lin Li walked to the movie theater seats and met many acquaintances, such as Li Tong, Shi Wei and others, and chatted with them for a while.

Some people whom he didn't know but had seen on TV came over and got to know Lin Li.

After chatting for a while, Lin Li finally got away. He began to scan the venue for today's premiere.

This movie screen is hung on the wall of the Great Wall. It is larger than the largest screen in a movie theater and has the most luxurious sound equipment. However, there are only three to four hundred seats on site.

This is normal. After all, all the people present today are respectable people. It's not like the premiere held by Lin Li, where most of the people who came were normal audiences.

Lin Lizhen looked at it and suddenly saw Yuan Xiaodong walking towards him.

"Hey, Lin Li, I haven't seen you for a few days. Why are you with Chen Qingqing?"

Lin Li rolled his eyes at Yuan Xiaodong and said, "When did you become such a gossip?"

"I'm not gossiping, I'm just caring about you!"

Lin Li said: "Come on, you should still care about yourself. How was your participation in that show?"

Yuan Xiaodong suddenly became unhappy and said, "Look, you don't care about me at all. I have already played twice and won both times. The first episode will be broadcast tomorrow night. Remember to watch it then."

"I won't watch that kind of garbage show."

Yuan Xiaodong smiled and said, "Okay, then let's watch a movie instead."

As they were talking, they suddenly heard a commotion at the red carpet outside, and the reporters started making noise again.

"Yes, Chen Qingqing is here."

Yuan Xiaodong crossed his arms, looked into the distance and smiled.

At the red carpet, reporters surrounded Chen Qingqing and asked questions that Lin Li had not answered just now.

"Chen Qingqing, are you and Lin Li together?"

"Chen Qingqing, what are you talking about at midnight during the Spring Festival Gala?"

"A group of Lin Li's female fans launched a boycott campaign against you, did you know?"

…………

Chen Qingqing did not panic at all, but looked very happy. She smiled and said: "I said everything I needed to say a long time ago. Today is the premiere of "The Grandmaster". Everyone should pay more attention to the movie."

After Chen Qingqing finished speaking, she left the red carpet area and walked towards Lin Li.

Yuan Xiaodong smiled knowingly and said: "I have something to do over there, I'll go over there."

Chen Qingqing approached Lin Li, and Lin Li looked at her closely.

Chen Qingqing wore a long skirt today. The red skirt was very suitable for the first day of the Lunar New Year and the current environment. She looked very happy.

The red skirt makes Chen Qingqing's complexion particularly fair and rosy. The front of the body is decorated with bow elements, and the waist is gathered with a high waistline to lengthen Chen Qingqing's body proportions and make her appear taller.

Chen Qingqing walked towards Lin Li. She vaguely felt that Lin Li looked at her differently today.

"Brother Lin, morning."

"morning."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and then fell into silence, because they found that all the eyes of the people around them were on them.

"Should I...avoid suspicion?" Chen Qingqing asked.

The temperature in the open air was very low compared to that in the cinema. Seeing that Chen Qingqing was only wearing a skirt, Lin Li suddenly took off his own suit and put it on Chen Qingqing.

Lin Li put on Chen Qingqing's clothes and patted Chen Qingqing's shoulder gently, as if he was hugging Chen Qingqing.

Chen Qingqing was stunned by Lin Li's sudden tenderness and looked at Lin Li blankly.

Lin Li smiled brightly at Chen Qingqing: "We... don't need to avoid suspicion."
