At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

Yu Xiaochuan could never have expected to run into the National Husband, Gu Yu and his girlfriend at Mingzhu Tower.

At that moment, Gu Yu was captured in the lens, using a fork to feed Lin Xinyue a piece of cake.

Witnessing this public display of affection, Yu Xiaochuan almost subconsciously pressed the camera shutter.

And just like that, a super sweet love photo was preserved by his snap.

After tucking his camera into its bag, with hardly any hesitation, he headed toward Gu Yu.

His hands were even rubbing together excitedly.

Gu Yu, noticing someone approaching him, and seeing no one else behind him, instantly became alert.

Especially since the person was a bald man in an outdoor jacket, resembling some shady director from an explicit content platform.

Lin Xinyue also noticed Yu Xiaochuan walking towards them and, unlike Gu Yu, her face showed a hint of surprise.

"It's you, the 'up host' Xiao Chuan from 'Li Station,' right?"

Before Yu Xiaochuan could even pull out his business card, Lin Xinyue excitedly stood up to greet him.

"Uh..." Yu Xiaochuan was taken aback.

"???" Gu Yu looked on in confusion.

Xiao Chuan from 'Li Station'? That evoked some very dissonant imagery for him!

Could this bald man really be a shady director?

Why did he feel like he'd seen this bald man before?

No, wait, those kinds of films usually don't feature the director, right?

And why does Xinyue know him?

Could it be that Xinyue also watches...n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

A barrage of questions suddenly flooded Gu Yu's mind.

He just couldn't figure out who this bald man was, but he was sure he had seen him somewhere before.

"Um, Miss Lin, you know me?"

Yu Xiaochuan scratched his bald head, looking completely perplexed.

He couldn't believe he had been recognized before he had the chance to introduce himself.

Was he really that famous now?

"Yes, of course! Even if I didn't know you, I'd recognize your signature bald head! I'm a fan of your 'Li Station'! You're the 'up host' Xiao Chuan from 'Li Station,' aren't you?"

Lin Xinyue nodded affirmatively, smiling as she looked at Yu Xiaochuan's bald head.

Indeed, he looked just like he did in the videos she watched on 'Li Station.'

Yu Xiaochuan hadn't always looked this way, but for some reason, he had suddenly shaved his head some time ago.

And because of that, he had left a deep impression on her.

After all, there aren't many bald people, even fewer young bald people, and even fewer famous young bald people.

So she recognized Yu Xiaochuan at a glance.

"That's right, it's me, haha, what a coincidence! Miss Lin, you're actually a fan of mine!"

Yu Xiaochuan quickly nodded; as someone who made outdoor amateur entertainment videos, he wasn't embarrassed by the situation.

He was just about to shake hands with Lin Xinyue but immediately realized Gu Yu was beside her and hastily withdrew his hand.

Lin Xinyue noticed this, glanced at Gu Yu, who simply smiled faintly, so she took the initiative to reach out her hand towards Yu Xiaochuan.

Yu Xiaochuan, astonished, gave Gu Yu a quick look and gently shook Lin Xinyue's hand.

He hadn't expected Gu Yu to be so open-minded, knowing that many guys are incredibly possessive and nearly never let another man touch their girlfriends.

This was something he encountered so often while filming street videos that he had become very cautious when interacting with women.

"Hello, have I seen you somewhere before?"

Gu Yu also extended his hand in greeting, his eyes questioning.

Hearing this, Yu Xiaochuan quickly explained, "Gu, we've probably met before at Haidong University's 120th anniversary celebration. I was filming from below the stage, and you were singing on stage, hence the faint impression!"

That's when Gu Yu understood why he felt the bald man looked familiar.

It was just because he remembered there were no bald people among the media under the stage.

The person had suddenly shaved his head, so he didn't recognize him.

"Did you just call me Gu?" he asked. "Are you also from Haidong?"

Gu Yu gestured for Yu Xiaochuan to sit down.

Yu Xiaochuan didn't stand on ceremony and sat down on the chair across, smiling as he explained:

"My name is Yu Xiaochuan, I graduated from Haidong University, from the media studies department, and now I am a self-media creator."

"No wonder you called me a classmate, it turns out you're my senior! My apologies!"

Gu Yu suddenly came to a realization.

As for Yu Xiaochuan saying he was a self-media person, He believed him.

With all that professional camera equipment, he would have believed him if he said he was a filmmaker!

"There's nothing to apologize for, I'm just a small fry; I can't compare to you, Gu!"

Yu Xiaochuan hastened to wave his hand.

Although he was somewhat famous at night and even a lower-tier top 100 content creator, compared to Gu Yu's fame, he was like a younger brother.

After all, even after so much time had passed, Gu Yu had not shed his "National Husband" title.

On the internet, especially on Dou Ying, there was a huge crowd of netizens calling for Gu Yu to start a Dou Ying account.

He estimated that as soon as Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue started an account, they would quickly reach a million followers.

This was the terrifying effect of fame.

All this time, Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue were like divine dragons without end tails, and then there was Jingchuan Xiaoyu, a top internet celebrity who would occasionally release videos to sustain Gu Yu's presence.

Gu Yu gained an added sense of mystery in the hearts of the netizens.

This mystery was like an itch that made the girls who followed Gu Yu wish they could personally come to Haidong University to see him.

"I've always admired people who can create their own self-media content. Although I'm interested, unfortunately, I don't have the filming and editing skills."

Gu Yu said with a smile.

He wasn't lying; he really had thought about creating a self-media account, but he gave up because he didn't have any skills.

He couldn't just shake his butt like those internet celebrities who do it all day long, could he?

That wasn't his style.

"Oh come on, junior brother, I graduated a few years before you, so I'll take the liberty of calling you junior brother. You're really overthinking it."

"Self-media isn't as hard as you think, at least not for you."

"These days, who still plays the technical game? It's all about selling looks and dancing provocatively. Just wiggle your butt and you can make a few hundred thousand or even millions."

"The barriers to entry for self-media have dropped way lower than they initially were."

Yu Xiaochuan sighed.

He would feel distressed every time he thought about this. He had been creating street interviews and entertainment videos for years.

He diligently learned filming and editing skills, constantly running around outside looking for the right subjects to shoot.

In the end, he couldn't compete with those celebrities who could gain a hundred thousand fans with a wiggle and a million the next day with a shake.

There was no comparison; it was simply incomparable.

Fortunately, being in the top 100 on Libilibi had some value; the selection wasn't based solely on the number of fans.

Otherwise, the top 100 now would probably just be a competition over who has the biggest chest or butt.

This was his only consolation.

At least on this platform, when he seriously made videos, there were still some who recognized his effort.

Even though such viewers were increasingly rare, they still existed.

"Is that so?"

After listening to what Yu Xiaochuan had said, Gu Yu looked at Lin Xinyue in surprise, and Lin Xinyue also shook her head in confusion.

She didn't know how to create such self-media accounts either; looking at her was no use to Gu Yu.
