Based on Yan Yue’s conversations with Yang Xin, she leaned more toward the last possibility. As for the specific reasons, she might need to ask one of the parties involved…

So, Yan Yue went to find Su Manman, intending to gather some information from her.

However, as soon as she met Su Manman, their brain-computers started vibrating incessantly. Not only hers but also Su Manman’s.

The two exchanged glances and each opened their brain-computers, only to see that Wu Hua was shouting like crazy in the group chat, and every message was mentioning Su Manman!

Su Manman, looking baffled, replied with a question mark.

Wu Hua, in a voice message, exclaimed, “Manman, what’s going on? Are we still good sisters? How could you hide something like this from us?”

Su Manman replied: 【What happened?】

Wu Hua: 【Don’t pretend! The digging group has exposed everything. They say that Yang Bian is coming to the show for his ex-girlfriend, who he broke up with years ago! The digging group even claims that Yang Bian has remained chaste for his ex-girlfriend all these years and now he’s coming on the show to win her back! So, guess who they say this ex-girlfriend is?!】

Upon hearing Wu Hua’s words, Yan Yue understood. It seemed that someone had leaked information that Yang Xin was coming to the show to pursue his ex-girlfriend. This made Yang Xin’s busy schedule for appearing on the show seem much more reasonable.

Despite the numerous episodes of the show that had aired so far, there had been no hint of Yang Xin being Su Manman’s ex-boyfriend. This sudden revelation was most likely deliberately released by Yang Xin himself.

It appeared that Yang Xin’s appearance on the show had a dual purpose: to send a warning and to achieve another goal.

Yan Yue raised her gaze and looked at the other protagonist of this incident, Su Manman. She noticed a momentary paleness in Su Manman’s face, but Su Manman replied in the group with a simple statement: 【It’s all in the past.】

This response followed the classic trope of rekindling a lost love, but Yan Yue couldn’t help but find Su Manman’s reaction strange. She casually asked about Su Manman’s past with Yang Xin, but Su Manman hesitated, appearing as though she wanted to say something but couldn’t bring herself to. In the end, she just shook her head in response.

This situation became increasingly peculiar. Yan Yue returned to her creative chamber and had 666 retrieve the original novel of this world. She read it word by word, hoping to find some clues.

Unfortunately, the novel only covered Yang Xin’s pursuit of Su Manman in the later stages, and there was no detailed information about their past. The story began with Yang Xin already being a famous scriptwriter, pursuing Su Manman, and encountering competition from the CEO of Emperor Entertainment Network.

However, there were occasional flashbacks to Yang Xin and Su Manman’s earlier days. These flashbacks portrayed a mix of sweetness and heartbreak. They had been childhood friends, growing up together. Despite the pressures life threw at them, they had always protected each other. The heartbreak came when Su Manman’s family fell on hard times, and Yang Xin’s debut work, “Asking the Heart,” became a sensation. Su Manman, not wanting to be a stain in Yang Xin’s life, chose to break up with him.

On the day they broke up, it was raining heavily. Su Manman had resolutely told Yang Xin that she no longer loved him. Yang Xin couldn’t believe it, so Su Manman had someone pretend to be her boyfriend and openly displayed affection in front of Yang Xin, causing him great emotional distress. They eventually parted ways.

In the end, Yang Xin regretted his actions after learning about Su Manman’s difficulties.

It followed the typical Jinjiang trope of pursuing a lost love.

But was this really the whole story?

If Yang Xin loved Su Manman so much, why would he go to such lengths to prevent her from winning the competition? Was this some kind of new “love-hate” plot?

And then there was Su Manman. When she heard about her past relationship with Yang Xin being exposed, her face turned pale. If the memories were accurate, Su Manman’s reaction didn’t seem fitting.

There were too many uncertainties in this situation. Yan Yue decided to meet with Yang Xin the next day. Perhaps a face-to-face conversation would shed light on everything.

While Yan Yue was analyzing the plot of the original novel, Yang Xin and his ex-girlfriend were becoming the hottest topic on Emperor Entertainment Network’s forum.

Through careful investigation by internet users, they quickly identified Su Manman as the “ex-girlfriend” mentioned in the rumors.

Wu Hua, who had seen this development, rushed into the group chat to share the news.

At this moment, a user named “Die if you don’t ship CP” emerged and dropped a bombshell, pushing the “Yang Xin and Su Manman actually dated” topic to another peak:

【Die if you don’t ship CP: Ahhh, everyone, I just heard from a friend that Yang Xin and Su Manman were childhood sweethearts!!

My friend was a classmate of Su Manman and Yang Xin since kindergarten. They were in the same class from kindergarten to elementary school, the same high school, and even entered the same university.

I know you’re all curious who made the first move, right?

It was Yang Bian, sob sob sob! This guy is really romantic. He confessed to Su Manman on their graduation day. It’s just that Yang Bian was quite low-key about it back then. My friend saw someone post about Yang Bian’s confession on their university forum later!

You guys don’t know, when my friend told me, I was so into it! I can’t resist people who have childhood sweethearts!

But they broke up less than two years later. The specific reasons are still up for debate. Some say Su Manman found a new boyfriend at the time, but I don’t really believe that. Su Manman doesn’t seem like the type to cheat. They say you can judge a person by their work, and looking at Su Manman’s work from the competition till now, she doesn’t seem like someone who would cheat. Moreover, if Su Manman had cheated, why would Yang Bian come on the show now? Shouldn’t he want to avoid the woman who betrayed him for the rest of his life?

Of course, there are also rumors that it was because Yang Bian was on the rise in his career at the time, and Su Manman didn’t want to be a burden, so she initiated the breakup…

In any case, opinions vary, but one thing was unanimous: in college, these two were the school’s recognized sweetest campus couple!

Regardless of whether you ship them or not, I’m already aboard this ship!

What are these two called now?

After years apart, they meet at the pinnacle!

He, who stands at the top of the pyramid, learned that she was coming and took the initiative to descend from the top, ready to welcome his beloved! She, having climbed to this point, finally glimpses the sky and meets the person she loves!

After they meet, they look at each other, their eyes filled with longing, and together they say, “Long time no see.”

Ahhh, everyone!! I’m telling you, how can you not ship this! I can only say if you don’t ship it, you’re out of luck!!】

To make her revelation more credible, this blogger attached a photo of Su Manman and Yang Xin from their high school days.

In the photo, both of them looked very young, but among the students wearing school uniforms, they undoubtedly stood out!

Just based on their looks, many people couldn’t help but exclaim that they were a perfect match!

With this photo as evidence, everyone now fully believed that Yang Xin had come to the show as a flying guest for the sake of Su Manman. He had done all this just to say to the girl he had loved and still couldn’t forget, “I’ve waited for you for a long time.”

CP fans are always the best at imagination. As long as their OTP (One True Pairing) is seen together, they assume the two are in a relationship. If the OTP makes eye contact, it’s considered a sign of their “ship” sailing, and if there’s physical contact, well, they must have “done it” the night before!

So, when this post came up, fans of this potential couple’s ship went wild with their imaginations. They understood! They finally got it!

Before, they didn’t understand why, if these two had been in a relationship, there was no news about it. But now it made sense. Yang Xin was probably still upset about the breakup, but even so, he couldn’t resist coming on the show to see his ex-girlfriend. As for Su Manman, her reason was even simpler. She probably didn’t want to trouble Yang Xin, so she never mentioned him in the show.

Look, she didn’t even try to suck Yang Xin’s blood, which meant she was the ultimate good sister-in-law!

He may not have publicly revealed their past, but after all these years, he had been keeping himself pure for her. If that’s not love, what is it? He must have kept it a secret to protect her from the fans trying to pair them up. Where else can you find such a good ex-boyfriend who doesn’t capitalize on his former girlfriend?

These two were simply a perfect match, the top-tier heavenly couple!

Ship them to the ends of the earth!

As for the bystanders, they also thought that this pair seemed quite compatible. In their eyes, as long as there was a sense of destiny between a man and a woman, along with a beautiful love story, and they looked good together, why not ship them? Especially when one of them was Yang Xin and the other was Su Manman, they were indeed a perfect match.

It seemed like the entire internet was rooting for this couple, and everyone was eagerly awaiting their first meeting in years during the live broadcast of the show.

This situation reminded Yan Yue of a popular theme on Jinjiang (a Chinese online literature platform) for a while:

“Everyone in the World Wants Us to Be Together.”

The “XXX” type that followed was not limited.

Su Manman and Yang Xin seemed to fall into the category of “Everyone in the World Wants Them to Get Back Together.”

Online discussions were overwhelmingly positive, and even 666 could sense something unusual, though most fans, including Wu Hua and others, were ecstatic.

That night, Yan Yue couldn’t sleep.

From her writing to the reality, and now this heartthrob Yang Xin, everything made her feel uneasy.

Yan Yue asked 666, “Is there still no news from headquarters?”

666 replied, “None.”

Yan Yue nodded and said, “Is it possible that something is wrong with the Space-Time Order department?”

666 responded, “I don’t know… We’ve never encountered such a situation before.”

Yan Yue rubbed her slightly painful forehead and sighed, “Try to contact headquarters more frequently. It’s possible that there’s a bug in the Space-Time Order department causing multiple worlds to merge.”

666 acknowledged, “You should get some rest, boss. There’s a show tomorrow.”

Yan Yue closed her eyes once more.

The next morning at 9:00 AM, Yan Yue accepted the invitation to enter the main stage space of the show.

When she finally saw Yang Xin, the protagonist of the rumors, she finally understood!

She finally understood why Yang Xin had been acting so strangely!

At the same time, when Yan Yue saw the theme of the show this time, she made a major decision!

Since her stories could manifest in reality, why couldn’t she use the same method to wake up all those who were infatuated with Yang Xin and bring them back to reality?

So, another Saturday arrived, and viewers noticed that Yan Yue’s new story this time was a bit different from the previous ones. They couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was different, perhaps it was just not as easy to remember?

Viewers opened the book: “After Going on a Variety Show with My Ex-Boyfriend, I Ended Up with the CEO – Happy Ending.”

Closed the book: “After Going on a Variety Show with the CEO, I Ended Up with My Ex-Boyfriend – Happy Ending.”

Took another look at the book: Wait, it’s not that, it’s “After Going on a Variety Show with My Ex-Boyfriend, I Ended Up with the CEO”! It must be this! If it’s not, I’ll go poop in front of the publishing company’s door tomorrow!
