Chapter 56 Zhao Liying's Reminder

With the premiere of the latest episode of "Mushroom House," the internet has gradually become lively.

Besides the upcoming drama "Three Lives, Three Worlds," the biggest surprise of this episode was Xu Jinyan.

In fact, most people didn't have much of an impression of Xu Jinyan, since he hadn't appeared in public much. Only his fans were surprised to see him.

Those who are still his fans are basically the kind of people who are quite laid-back; they've gotten used to Xu Jinyan's infrequent public appearances.

I was actually a little touched to see him on a variety show.

Variety shows are also a revealing mirror, because many celebrities are completely different when they are working and when they are in real life.

You can basically judge a celebrity's true character or whether they have personal charm by watching a variety show with little script.

The travel variety show "Divas Hit the Road" that Xu Jinyan watched in her previous life was the culmination of this kind of experience.

Judging from the performances of the celebrities in this episode of "Mushroom House," Xu Jinyan is clearly the type of person who is suitable for variety shows.

After all, everyone can clearly see his height, good looks, talent, humility, health, humor, gentleness, kindness, hard work, as well as his ability to cook, sing, and practice Tai Chi, among other advantages, from the show.

They would definitely be in high demand in the matchmaking market.

Therefore, this variety show appearance directly gained Xu Jinyan a large number of fans.

The most direct manifestation is that his positive emotion value directly reached more than nine million, plus the more than one million he previously spent on improving his cooking skills, which has already met one of the conditions for unlocking the third characteristic.

Upon opening Weibo, Xu Jinyan saw that the comment section, which used to be filled with requests for songs from her older siblings, had transformed into a bustling "marketplace":

"I won't play with Lin Gou, but I can practice Tai Chi with my brother."

Which park do you usually go to? Hoping to bump into you!

"Brother, I also love watching 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes'. We have the same hobby!"

"You've wasted your time promoting him; Lin Yuan's update speed is like a slow, steady dog—even the donkeys in the production team wouldn't dare take a break like that!"

"Brother, it's okay if you don't like to show your face. From now on, you can take care of things at home, and I'll take care of things outside."

"I suddenly feel like you and Dilraba have such great chemistry! Can you two date? I want to see it!"

"I don't know why, but I actually feel that he and Yang Mi have more chemistry. Have I awakened some strange attribute?"

"..."

The entertainment industry is buzzing with excitement, and the novel world is just as abuzz with discussion.

How come so many celebrities have watched "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?

Xu Jinyan makes time to read novels every day, and Dilraba Dilmurat, despite her incredibly busy schedule, still finds time to read novels. Mao Xiaotong even recounted the plot to everyone on a variety show...

Their recommendations alone made this novel...go viral.

Readers were very excited and rushed to the comments section to leave messages: "Old rascal, the opportunity has come, let's see if you can seize it."

Li Xiaoqing also contacted him: Teacher Lin Yuan, have you watched the latest episode of "Mushroom House"?

Lin Yuan: I've seen it.

Li Xiaoqing: The platform can arrange a wave of recommendations. Would you like to consider adding more chapters?

Lin Yuan: Okay.

Li Xiaoqing looked at the message Lin Yuan sent and was surprised. Was he really that easy to talk to?

Xu Jinyan: A large wave of retail investors is about to enter the market, so we should at least give them some initial incentives.

As a result, readers discovered that Lin Yuan had suddenly become more assertive.

Starting from Saturday, I updated more than 10,000 words every day for a week, and finished writing the entire Xuanyuantai Incident, advancing the plot to Iron Palm Peak.

Readers were thrilled: Teacher Lin Yuan has risen again!

The number of readers of the novel is increasing every day, and the arguments in the comment section are becoming increasingly heated.

Even when Xu Jinyan encountered children fighting outside, she used moves like "Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms" and "Toad Stance".

Xu Jinyan has finally confirmed that her novel has become a huge hit!

Dilraba and Mao Xiaotong even created a group chat specifically for him to discuss the plot and even fantasize about which roles they would be suitable for if the story were made into a TV series.

Xu Jinyan: I still think Xiaotong is more suitable to play Mu Nianci.

Mao Xiaotong: Isn't Huang Rong good? I prefer Huang Rong. She was a very clear-headed woman in ancient times, and I like that kind of character.

Dilraba: Me? Which role do you think I'm suitable for?

Xu Jinyan: Ouyang Ke's maid, right?

[Negative emotions from Dilraba: +49]

Mao Xiaotong: Hahaha, Dilraba, don't listen to his nonsense. I think you would be more suitable to play Hua Zheng.

Dilraba: ...Why didn't the author write a character with more screen time, a woman from a foreign land?

Mao Xiaotong: Uh, Dilraba. We're just having fun here, why are you taking it so seriously?

Dilraba: I really want to act in this! Look how popular this novel is right now. Wuxia (martial arts) is about to become the next big IP!

Xu Jinyan: You really want to act in this? How about I recommend you to Teacher Lin Yuan?

A brief silence.

Mao Xiaotong, Dilraba: What did you say?

Xu Jinyan: After the show aired, Teacher Lin Yuan contacted my agent through Chuangjie to thank me for promoting the show and even added me on WeChat. Um, didn't Teacher Lin Yuan add you guys?

Mao Xiaotong, Dilraba: No! Yes!

Both of them were getting a little frustrated. It was supposed to be a promotion for three people, so why weren't they mentioned?

Xu Jinyan: ...

Dilraba: What did you guys talk about? Can you recommend some actors?

Xu Jinyan: She said she liked the songs I wrote, especially Shanghai Bund, and then she said she wanted me to write the theme song for Legend of the Condor Heroes. I thought recommending an actor shouldn't be a problem!

Mao Xiaotong, Reba: Her? Lin Yuan is a woman?

The two felt that they were being shocked one after another. The person who said in the chapter that he wanted to travel the world with a sword was actually a female knight-errant.

Xu Jinyan: No, I mistyped. I don't know if it's male or female.

Neither of them responded, but they thought to themselves that the case was solved. No wonder everyone was promoting the novel, while Lin Yuan only added Xu Jinyan on WeChat.

So Lin Yuan is a woman?

They did not refute Xu Jinyan, firmly believing that what they had painstakingly unraveled was the truth.

Dilraba: So, do you want to act? Which role have you set your sights on?

Xu Jinyan: I don't act. Why would I, a singer, act in a play?

He really doesn't intend to act. First of all, he can't act; his acting skills are still at the beginner level, and he's not rich enough to squander his emotional points.

Secondly, acting is not cost-effective. Nowadays, audiences can easily distinguish between actors and roles, and there won't be any situation where someone plays a villain and then goes on a rampage of negative emotions.

Finally, acting requires a long time commitment, just like Dilraba and Mao Xiaotong, who are now appearing on various shows to promote their work.

Xu Jinyan: Where did you guys go to promote yourselves again?

Mao Xiaotong: Today I'm recording an interview variety show in Beijing, and tomorrow I'm flying to Shanghai for a promotional event.

Xu Jinyan: You've worked hard, your drama is about to be released, right? I'll treat you to a meal when you come to Zhonghai.

Dilraba: Okay, see you then.

After ending the chat, Xu Jinyan looked through the chat history and felt that she should not have given anything away.

I'm bored, so I'll install a firewall.

He was using the smokescreen of Lin Yuan possibly being a woman to cover up the bigger truth that Lin Yuan might actually be Xu Jinyan.

Then, he decided to stop updating!

The next day, he still wrote a single chapter.

She mostly thanked the readers for their support, then mentioned that her tenosynovitis had flared up and she needed to rest for a few days.

Click to send!

Then he focused on the increase in negative sentiment on the system.

But as I looked at it, something felt off.

What happened?

This increase is a bit low!

Suddenly, I received a WeChat message on my phone from Zhao Liying.

"Jinyan, I watched your performance in 'Mushroom House,' it was fantastic!"

Xu Jinyan was puzzled. What was wrong with this older sister? This all happened a week ago.

He typed back, "Thank you. Is there anything you need, Sister Liying?"

Zhao Liying smiled slightly, indeed clever, and then subtly reminded him: "Even Dorgon couldn't handle a divorced woman with a child."

Xu Jinyan felt that she didn't even recognize Chinese characters anymore. What did that mean?

Is this something I'm not sure about, or is it really a reminder not to fall in love with her?

He cautiously probed, "Sister Liying, you... you're divorced?"

Silence is the current state of the chat interface.

After a while, Zhao Liying replied, "Don't you check the trending topics?"
