Chapter 923 Shen Lu is recognized

"us……"

Tang Yun glanced at Li Mai.

Li Mai spoke faster than him: "Cousin, we're just friends."

“He was my neighbor when I was a child. Have you forgotten? You saw him when you came to our house before.”

"I remember." Chu Li's smile remained gentle.

“When he was little, he climbed a tree but couldn’t get down, so he sat on the tree and cried until his nose was running.”

In one sentence, two people were killed.

Li Mai looked shocked, and Tang Yun's face turned bright red; they wished they could disappear into the ground.

"I... I don't have a runny nose anymore." Tang Yun was genuinely embarrassed.

He knew that his cousin from the Chu family was easy to get along with, but also inexplicably frightening.

Chu Li's eyes were smiling, but they seemed to be able to see right through a person.

You have nowhere to hide from a person like that.

Tang Yun felt a little uncomfortable, but still wanted to explain clearly: "Brother Chu Li, Mai Mai and I are currently dating."

"But don't worry, I definitely won't bully Mai Mai, nor will I let anyone else bully her."

Li Mai glared at her: "Why do you tell me everything?"

"You're about to become an idol, how can you reveal that you're in a relationship?"

Chu Li looked at his worthless cousin and was speechless.

He hadn't expected his cousin to be so considerate of others.

Others are willing to openly admit it, but she insists on covering it up for them.

“MaiMai, if I don’t tell him, Brother Chu Li will definitely be angry.”

Although Tang Yun didn't understand Chu Li, he could put himself in Chu Li's shoes.

Chu Li is Mai Mai's cousin, and they're practically like brothers.

No brother in the world can stand to see his sister being fooled.

Tang Yun does want to enter the entertainment industry, which is true, but his feelings for Li Mai are also genuine.

The two were childhood sweethearts.

He never intended to hide this relationship from the beginning.

Li Mai, on the other hand, is involved in the fan circle and believes that this relationship may affect Tang Yun's future, so she wants to keep it a secret.

He'll announce his relationship once his career has stabilized.

Or they might conceal the relationship and remain silent.

With her looks and talent, Tang Yun is sure to attract many fans.

"Actually, MaiMai is right. If you enter the entertainment industry and announce your relationship, you can imagine the negative impact it will have on you."

Or rather, Tang Yun will never become famous; no fans would want their idol to spend their money to support his wife.

"I know, but I don't care."

Tang Yun explained, "I entered the entertainment industry because I really love the stage and I love performing."

"It's not that we want to be famous, and our family isn't short of money."

"But Mai Mai and I are serious. We've known each other since we were little, and she's the one I fell in love with when I first fell in love."

Tang Yun spoke very seriously.

Chu Lixin said that he was still single, so he wouldn't help his cousin figure out her love life.

"I don't care when you start liking her, or how long you can like her, but she can't be hurt because of you."

"I hope that when you make your relationship public, you can guarantee her safety."

"Don't put her in danger like you did today."

Tang Yun's cheeks flushed from what he was being told.

He didn't do a good job tonight.

But if it happened again, he would still choose to protect Mai Mai.

"I'm not saying it's wrong for you to defend her, but you need to be mindful of your approach."

Chu Li was worried that Tang Yun would misunderstand if he continued to say that.

Li Mai couldn't wait to speak up for Tang Yun: "Cousin, don't blame Tang Yun."

"He stepped up to protect me immediately, instead of focusing on his own participation in the talent show, which was already a great thing."

"Blame that Qiangzi, he actually harassed a girl in the street."

"He's definitely not doing this only once or twice."

"This time they must be severely punished!"

Chu Li: "..." I don't have a daughter yet, but I've already learned from my cousin what it means to have a daughter who is more outgoing.

"I haven't even said anything to him yet, and you're already protecting him like this."

"Li Mai, your brother won't interfere in your personal relationships."

"But he'll be a star in the future, so you need to be careful to protect yourself."

"The entertainment industry is a murky place, and many celebrity fans are irrational."

It's not irrational; some female fans hate their sister-in-law to the core.

Even if Li Mai wants to keep her relationship with Tang Yun secret, it's uncertain how long she can maintain it.

Moreover, those obsessive fans have a nose even sharper than paparazzi.

They would be discovered if there was even the slightest clue.

"Moreover, what happened tonight might have already been filmed."

"Although Tang Yun is not famous yet, she used to be a minor internet celebrity and has a certain degree of recognizability."

Even if the two don't admit to their relationship, Tang Yun will still have to bear the blame for contacting fans privately.

"Cousin, can you help Tang Yun and prevent those videos from being leaked?"

Li Mai also remembered that they had gotten into a fight at the food stall that night, and it must have been filmed.

What if Tang Yun has to withdraw from the competition because of this?

The pressure from online public opinion also puts pressure on Tang Yun.

Unfortunately, Tang Yun still has injuries on her face, and if she returns to the training camp, the other players will see them.

Moreover, the training camp will film daily training sessions and such.

Although it wasn't broadcast live, it still couldn't escape the discerning eyes of the audience.

This is how to do?

Li Mai was extremely anxious, and Chu Li sighed again, thinking that he should probably not have any daughters in the future, otherwise he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.

"MaiMai, it's okay, I have a way to deal with it."

"Even if it doesn't work out, it's okay. I can just continue being an internet celebrity."

"As long as you don't mind, that's fine."

Although Tang Yun also wanted to have his own career, he valued his relationship with Li Mai even more.

Besides, he and Li Mai are only boyfriend and girlfriend now, and he really doesn't have the face to ask her cousin for help.

"The video has probably been leaked by now. If it really gets online, there's nothing I can do."

"The internet has a memory; I can't erase what's in someone's mind."

Although Chu Li said that, he still made a phone call to have someone handle it.

Indeed, someone posted the video online, and the first person to be recognized was not Tang Yun, the internet celebrity, but Shen Lu.

Everyone's attention was focused on Shen Lu and Feng Tian.

—I think I've seen this younger sister before.

—Is she [picture], the gold medalist in last year's International Mathematics Competition?

—Isn't it the girl who saved people on the highway?

—This girl isn't famous yet, but they've been hyping her up for so long.

—The person upstairs is being too malicious. He is a top student from Beijing University and last year's top scorer in the college entrance examination. What does he need to hype up?

—This younger sister seems to be named Shen Lu. The most bizarre thing is that she is the fake heiress in the melodramatic story of the real and fake heiresses.

—Am I the only one who thinks she and the other girl are very brave?

—I know this man who was touching me inappropriately. He's quite famous in that area, and even the food stall owners don't dare to offend him…

After the internet revealed that Qiangzi was a notorious hoodlum, more people expressed their liking for Shen Lu and Feng Tian.

Because not everyone has the courage to be a hero and save a damsel in distress.
