Chapter 270
Shu Yi remained silent.
"If you don\'t say anything, I\'ll take it as a yes."
Chang Zhiyuan was overjoyed. He took out his phone, opened Weibo, and posted at 1:30 AM.
[She finally agreed, so I\'m making it official. @Shu Yi]
"What are you doing? The skewers are getting cold."
"Announcing it officially. Didn\'t you just agree?"
"What?"
Shu Yi was so shocked that she dropped her skewer on the ground. She had just agreed to be together, and Chang Zhiyuan was playing with words.
Panicking, Shu Yi didn\'t even bother to wipe her hands before grabbing her phone.
In just a few seconds, Weibo went wild.
"She finally agreed, so I\'m making it official" went viral, reaching the top of the trending topics.
"Geez, Chang Zhiyuan, your announcement is so cheesy."
Chang Zhiyuan looked down at the Weibo post he had just made. Cheesy? How was it cheesy?
"What\'s cheesy about it? I had thought of so many options before, like \'From now on, one umbrella for two.\' But I got so excited just now that I couldn\'t remember any of them. Isn\'t this good enough?"
Shu Yi held her forehead. How were there still so many night owls at this hour? How could she control the situation now?
"If it\'s really necessary, you should make an announcement too," Chang Zhiyuan suggested.
"How am I supposed to do that?"
Shu Yi was at a loss. Normally, celebrity announcements had to go through their studio and company, with the manager\'s approval. But their situation was special. Shu Yi didn\'t have a studio, and her direct boss at the company was the one she was announcing a relationship with.
"Give me your phone."
Shu Yi handed over her phone.
[Yes, it\'s just as he said. @Boss Chang Zhiyuan]
Shen Yin was still awake, scrolling through videos when she suddenly got a Weibo notification. She was about to swipe it away when she caught a familiar name: "Shu Yi."
She clicked on it.
The trending topic "Shu Yi and Chang Zhiyuan Announce Relationship" was at the top of the list. Below were the two announcement posts from Chang Zhiyuan and Shu Yi.
The top few trending topics were all about the two of them. Shen Yin was so shocked that she dropped her phone beside her.
"What\'s wrong? Are you tired or did you see some bad news? Good thing the phone didn\'t hit your face, that would have hurt."
Xu Xiuhe grew concerned and moved from the foot of the bed to Shen Yin\'s side.
"Neither. Take a look."
Shen Yin picked up the phone from the bed and handed it to Xu Xiuhe.
"They\'ve announced their relationship."
"Wait, didn\'t you already know? How come you\'re so calm about it?"
Shen Yin furrowed her brow, looking at Xu Xiuhe with suspicion.
"I didn\'t know. But wasn\'t it just a matter of time before they got together?"
Shen Yin nodded. Indeed, she also knew that the two getting together was inevitable, no matter how long they tried to resist.
It was just that the announcement was quite sudden.
Just an hour ago, Shu Yi was still surfing the internet, enjoying other people\'s gossip. And now, in such a short time, she had become the subject of others\' excitement.
"Their announcement posts are quite interesting. One says \'She agreed, so I\'m announcing it,\' and the other says \'Yes, it\'s just as he said.\' Straightforward, not bad."
"Jealous?"
"No, I just find it interesting."
A pregnant woman\'s emotions are quite peculiar. Now, Shen Yin was wide awake. She decided to read through the Weibo comments.
"Why is it still so active in the middle of the night? Don\'t these people sleep?"
"For some people, nightlife might just be starting now."
"They have so many CP fans."
Xu Xiuhe pulled Shen Yin into his arms. "They had that many fans from their TV drama already. It\'s a good thing they announced it in the middle of the night, otherwise, the platform might have crashed."
[Holy crap, this came out of nowhere! Good thing I wasn\'t asleep yet.]
[I knew it was true. The way he looked at Shu Yi was definitely not innocent.]
[When they were on that variety show together, I knew there was something between them. But I always thought the girl didn\'t like the guy enough, like water flowing past indifferent flowers. I never expected this...]
[Guys, who can relate? The CP I shipped actually became real.]
The next morning, the buzz hadn\'t died down.
"The Xu family should really thank Shu Yi and Chang Zhiyuan," Shu Yi said, waking up close to noon.
"Those people\'s popularity has certainly taken a hit."
"Why aren\'t you at work today?" Shen Yin asked.
Xu Xiuhe brought a bowl of porridge to the bedside, not answering the question. Instead, he sat on the edge of the bed.
"Here, open your mouth."
Xu Xiuhe held a spoon, scooped some porridge, and brought it to Shen Yin\'s lips.
Shen Yin complied, opening her mouth and swallowing the porridge.
Since becoming pregnant, she felt increasingly pampered, treated like a princess by Xu Xiuhe.
"It\'s Sunday, the company isn\'t busy, so I\'m keeping you company," Xu Xiuhe said while continuing to feed her.
"Mom, the auntie downstairs called Zheng Zheng for lunch, so Zheng Zheng came up to call you both down to eat."
Hearing about lunch, Shen Yin checked her phone. It was already 11:30 AM. Indeed, it was time for lunch.
"Honey, I think we forgot something just now," Shen Yin suddenly realized, then quickly climbed out of bed and rushed to the bathroom.
She grabbed her cup, rinsed her mouth, and started brushing her teeth. She had just eaten porridge without brushing her teeth or washing her face!
"Slow down, it\'s my fault. I shouldn\'t have fed you."
Father and son stood at the doorway, posture perfect, waiting for Shen Yin to finish brushing her teeth before speaking.
"Mom, let\'s go downstairs together."
Xu Yunzheng took Shen Yin\'s hand.
When the family of three reached the lower floor, the housekeeper had already set the table for lunch.
"It\'s almost lunchtime, why did you feed me porridge earlier?"
"You needed to eat something."
Just as they finished eating, both Shen Yin and Xu Xiuhe\'s phones rang. It was Shu Yi and Liu Bo calling respectively.
"Are you awake, my dear Yin?"
"How did you know I just woke up?"
"Because you went to bed late last night. I saw you liked my Weibo post."
"Tell me, what\'s going on with you two? This announcement came out of nowhere. Even we didn\'t know when you got together."
"Last night, he went from zero to a hundred."
"!!!! You two???"
"No, no, don\'t get the wrong idea. By \'zero to a hundred,\' I mean getting together and announcing it happened at the same time. Can I say that I was even more behind on the news than many netizens? When the announcement was made, I, the person involved, wasn\'t even the first to know. How ridiculous is that?" Shu Yi asked.
"What happened? Didn\'t you post the announcement yourself? Were you announced on?"
"Gosh, sis, you\'re spot on. I was indeed announced on. When he made the announcement, I had no idea. The Weibo post had been up for two minutes before I realized I\'d been announced. That dog of a man tricked me with a word game."
Shu Yi now didn\'t dare to leave her house. Who knows how many paparazzi were camped outside the company? Chang Zhiyuan, excited, hadn\'t slept all night. Before dawn, he had already gone back to the company, saying he needed to handle their affairs.
