"Hmm? Taking a picture for your social media? Alright, you go ahead and snap it first!"
Director Jia Qingyu hummed in understanding, nodding slightly. He gestured for Fang Yingying to do as she pleased. After all, taking photos to post before a meal was a common habit among young people these days. For a girl like Fang Yingying, Jia Qingyu found it perfectly normal. Besides, it was hardly a big deal. If she wanted to take photos, let her.
Seeing the director's approval, the other actors at the table raised no objections. Fang Yingying, being quick-witted, swiftly took a few photos, edited them, and posted them. Then she flashed everyone a smile.
"Done! I've posted it! Let's dig in! Hehe~"
Unbeknownst to the others, Fang Yingying didn't just post on her WeChat Moments. She also uploaded a photo directly to Weibo. The angle of this photo was rather peculiar.
The photograph featured only two people: Fang Yingying and Fu Shan, seated not far from her. Due to the camera angle, the two appeared remarkably intimate, even suggestive.
Fang Yingying's caption was brief and provocative, consisting of just two words:
Eating.
As a social media sensation, Fang Yingying had a substantial following. The moment the photo was posted, it drew widespread attention from her fans and followers:
"Our Yingying posted a private photo again! Ahhh, she's as stunning as ever!"
"Am I the only one who noticed the man next to her is Fu Shan?"
"OMG! The man next to her is actually Fu Shan! And why do they look so intimate, almost flirty? What's this bombshell gossip?! My mind is already conjuring 10,000 words of spicy fanfiction. What's their relationship? Did Xu Yifei just get cheated on?!"
***
The internet buzzed with speculation about the relationship between Fang Yingying and Fu Shan.
One netizen, unable to hold back, even tagged Xu Yifei directly:
@XuYifeiV: Your husband is being seduced by that little vixen! Keep a close eye on him! Hurry!
This comment immediately ignited the fury of Fang Yingying's fans.
A massive wave of criticism erupted against the netizen who had tagged Xu Yifei:
"Hey, watch your mouth! If you can't speak properly, just shut up! Don't spread lies!"
"You're the little vixen here! Your whole family are little vixens! Our Yingying is not someone a nobody like you can insult!"
"Which of your eyes saw Yingying seducing Fu Shan? It's just one photo! Why are you making such a big deal out of it?"
"Even if Yingying did something with Fu Shan, so what? Fu Shan isn't married to Xu Yifei, so he's not her husband anyway. Besides, even if he were, what's the big deal? It's the 21st century! Can we stop being so backward?"
"Even married couples divorce. And if they're just dating, breaking up is normal. Don't you understand the power of true love? Maybe Yingying and Fu Shan are the real true love!"
***
At first, the comments from Fang Yingying's fans were relatively normal. But gradually, their remarks became increasingly extreme and their moral compasses shattered, making them unbearable to read.
Naturally, this sparked outrage among Xu Yifei's fans and Shanfei CP shippers:
"Tsk, what a touching moral compass! This is the quality of Fang Yingying's fans. Tsk, tsk, tsk."
"Bullshit about true love conquering all! This is just like that other garbage—'You just lack legs, but she's lost her love'—they're practically the same! *So clever.*"
"Spouting such righteous-sounding nonsense. You're the third party, you're destroying someone's family, and you think you're in the right? You're even proud of it? What century are you living in? In any era, people like you and things like this should be universally condemned and spat upon for life, okay? You dare to tarnish the sacred banner of Shanfei CP? Fang Yingying, I'll roast you alive, you bitch!"
***
The "battle" was so fierce that Fu Shan's fans couldn't sit still. They began tagging him in all sorts of posts:
"Fu Shan, what's going on here?"
"Fu Shan, you didn't fall for that little vixen Fang Yingying, did you? The kind of mistake all men make?"
"Fu Shan, what are you doing? Come out and explain! @FuShanV"
***
Meanwhile, the internet buzzed with heated discussion.
As expected, related topics quickly dominated the trending searches, remaining there for several consecutive days and consistently ranking among the top positions:
#Fu Shan and Fang Yingying's Intimate Photo#
#Fu Shan and Fang Yingying's Relationship Suspected to be More Than Friendship#
#Digging into Fu Shan and Fang Yingying's Connection#
#Shifting Affections or Something Else? Shan-Fei Romance in Crisis!#
The topic #Fu Shan and Fang Yingying's Intimate Photo# even rocketed to the top of the trending list, claiming the headline position.
This development sent the internet into a frenzy.
Netizens, fans, and casual observers alike eagerly speculated about the truth behind the photos and the nature of Fu Shan and Fang Yingying's relationship.
They also debated the future of the once-public and seemingly blissful Shan-Fei Romance.
Could it truly be falling apart, leaving old affections in the past?
Unaware of this online storm, Xu Yifei and Fu Shan were still at a dinner party with director Jia Qingyu and the rest of the main cast.
"Here's to you, Fu Shan!" Jia Qingyu, clearly in high spirits, suddenly raised a beer and grinned at him, the clinking of glasses echoing around the table.
Fu Shan smiled at the sight and was about to raise his wine glass to reciprocate Jia Qingyu's toast when his phone suddenly rang:
*Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong—*
Hearing the rapid succession of notification sounds, Fu Shan quickly offered Jia Qingyu an apologetic smile and instinctively pulled out his phone. He saw messages flashing in the Fu Family Group, and his seven sisters were all tagging him one after another.
*Good grief! What's all the commotion?*
Fu Shan clicked into the group and immediately received another tag from his Sixth Sister, Fu Zilan:
"@Fu Shan, you little brat! Answer me right now! Or I'll come straight there with my 40-meter broadsword!"
The other sisters immediately chimed in with their approval:
Seventh Sister Fu Zizhi was the first to respond: "Exactly! If Fu Shan doesn't answer soon, I'm calling him directly to demand an explanation."
Fourth Sister Fu Zilu suggested: "Why don't we just call Fu Shan now and ask him what's going on?"
Eldest Sister Fu Zici cut to the chase: "I'll do it!"
She was going to call that little rascal right now!
