A 300-square-meter luxury apartment falls into the ultra-premium category; its size rivaled that of a typical villa. Both the upper and lower floors were spacious, and the master bedroom was no exception. It came with an en-suite bathroom and a walk-in closet. The adjoining room had been remodeled into a study, complete with a ready-to-use computer.
Chen Fei'er had clearly put thought into the place. Though she hadn't lived there often, she'd made an effort to remove traces of her stay, changing the bedsheets, pillowcases, and décor, so that the bedroom wouldn't feel like a woman's private sanctuary.
Only one thing remained on the nightstand: a framed photo of her.
Like a child proudly showing off their favorite toy, the queen of the Chinese music scene excitedly dragged Lu Chen around the three rooms on the upper floor. At the end, she asked eagerly, "Do you like it?"
Lu Chen wrapped his arms around her and smiled. "I do. It's just… a bit big for one person. Feels kind of empty."
Chen Fei'er said, "Well, you can ask Sister Lu Xi to move in, and maybe aunt and Lu Xue, too. Lu Xue could even come study in the Capital City. Even if her grades aren't perfect, we could still get her into a good university."
Lu Chen sighed. "They probably won't come. And actually, you forgot to mention one more person."
Chen Fei'er blinked in confusion. "Who?"
Lu Chen smiled. "Don't you think this house is still missing a mistress?"
Chen Fei'er immediately understood and blushed deeply. "What's that got to do with me?"
Lu Chen put on a thoughtful face and said, "If I manage to trick you into moving in, do I still have to pay back that 30 million?"
Chen Fei'er laughed, "In your dreams! I regret letting you pay in installments. Hurry up and pay me back!"
Lu Chen's true colors finally came out. He pounced on her, pressing her down onto the soft bed, growling wickedly, "Too late for regrets now. You're already in my hands. Even if you scream your lungs out, no one's coming to save you!"
Chen Fei'er cried out, "Help me~!"
With her slender body pinned beneath him, her sweet scent lingering in the air, and her playful cries tickling his ears, Lu Chen couldn't hold back his desire anymore. He leaned in and kissed her deeply.
The atmosphere in the bedroom turned hot and sultry in an instant.
…
Meanwhile, just as the two were getting lost in each other, Chen Fei'er's Waves Blog comment section exploded!
She had over 20 million followers on her Waves Blog. Normally, her posts garnered tens of thousands of shares and hundreds of thousands of comments. Since Autumn in My Heart aired, she had gained an even larger fanbase of diehard "Fei-fans," and people were constantly watching for her next move.
So when she published a post titled "Meeting", it immediately caught widespread attention.
Fans clicked on the post expecting maybe a selfie, a behind-the-scenes update, a musical thought, or a personal reflection. Instead, they found a video of Lu Chen playing piano and singing.
The drama had broken recent viewership records in China. It also sparked rumors that Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er were turning into the country's next celebrity couple. Their relationship had become a hot topic among fans and media alike.
Some people believed that Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er were close friends or had a sibling-like bond, close, but not romantic.
Others were convinced they had been secretly dating for a while, just hadn't made it official.
Though gossip media had tried to dig up dirt, there were never any real scandalous photos to confirm anything between the two.
Sure, Lu Chen's name and pictures had appeared on Chen Fei'er's blog before, but they were always work-related, music collabs, industry updates, or posts that looked entirely platonic.
But this post was different. Very different.
The video was clearly shot by Chen Fei'er herself. While the filming wasn't particularly professional, her phone was good, and the video was crisp and clear.
What stood out the most was the setting, definitely not a public place. And Lu Chen was the only one on screen the entire time.
Then came his words before he played:
"This song is dedicated to the most beautiful, intelligent, and proud Miss Chen Fei'er!"
That line didn't sound like something you'd say to just a friend.
It was brimming with affection!
Most importantly, just as he was about to finish singing, Lu Chen turned to look at Chen Fei'er.
The deep affection in his eyes, anyone who wasn't blind could see it.
"Meeting you is the most beautiful accident!"
Wasn't this song an open declaration of Lu Chen's true feelings?
And let's not forget, it was Chen Fei'er herself who uploaded the video to her blog, clearly signaling that she was going public with their relationship!
No wonder her fans completely lost it.
"They finally made it public, I knew it!"
"Is this a public display of affection? Single people are crying!"
"555 (sobbing), Fei'er, my goddess! Why does every goddess leave me?!"
"Junxi and Enxi are official! Showering flowers and blessings!"
"Whose house is this??"
"Lu Chen's love song for Chen Fei'er… so beautiful and touching, seriously!"
"Don't try to stop me, I'm already standing on the balcony!"
"Blessings ❤️"
Within just half an hour, the post titled "Meeting" had garnered over 100,000 comments and was spreading like wildfire across social media. Even several of Chen Fei'er's friends in the industry shared it, amplifying the reach even further.
While Lu Chen didn't have quite as many followers as Chen Fei'er, his fan count had already surpassed 15 million. What's more, many fans supported both of them, so anything happening on one side quickly reached the other.
And Lu Chen's fans were even more fired up.
"Hahaha! Boss Lu Chen is unstoppable!"
"I told you guys, didn't I? Nothing more to say, it's official!"
"Hmph! Public displays of affection never last! No way anyone's stealing my Lu Chen!"
"Chen Fei'er and Lu Chen really are a perfect match. Let's give them our blessings and cut the salty comments."
"Down with heterosexuals! Real love is gay love!"
"Wow, what a beautiful surprise. Wishing you two a lasting and happy relationship."
"Lantern Festival… and you two are pulling this kind of stunt?"
"Sigh… even a wholesome guy like Lu Chen has betrayed the revolution!"
Despite the initial shock from Chen Fei'er's sudden "love reveal" video, most fans from both sides reacted with surprise and joy, followed by sincere blessings. Only a minority felt disappointed, resentful, or bitter.
In truth, hardly anyone was genuinely surprised, not after all the hints, chemistry, and shared history, especially the phenomenal success of Autumn in My Heart. If anything, it would've been more surprising if they hadn't ended up together.
A very tiny group of fans still clung to hope, convincing themselves that this was just part of an ad shoot or a music video. But let's be honest, those theories couldn't even float, let alone hold water.
Compared to the explosive reactions from fans, industry insiders responded more cautiously. Since the two had not released any official statements, most people chose to stay on the sidelines for now, not wanting to jump the gun.
But one group that definitely blew up was the media.
No one had expected Chen Fei'er to drop such a bombshell on Lantern Festival of all days.
As a result, the phones of both Lu Chen's and Chen Fei'er's agents were blowing up nonstop!
