Sister Qin showed Jiang Ruan her Weibo, and in just a short time, it had already climbed to the third spot on the trending list.
The comments had exceeded 400,000!
The popularity was still rising.
She saw that a staff member had posted on Weibo praising her for buying watermelon juice for the crew.
Jiang Ruan was surprised, "This can make it onto Weibo?"
Sister Qin was ecstatic and while reporting to the agency, she responded, "This shows that everyone is acknowledging you."
"Darling, you are amazing. I didn’t expect that while we’re filming, you’d end up trending. This is something even the hottest stars can’t always achieve."
"And your fan cohesion is so strong, this is a great thing for you!"
Jiang Ruan scrolled through the comments; some praise her, while others accuse her of putting on a show.
All kinds of comments were there.
She remained calm; the first lesson as a celebrity is to appreciate public opinion.
But she was in a great mood.
After all, she had trended.
"Bai Yi has reposted the Weibo!" Sister Qin exclaimed with delight, "Look, he even mentioned you in his comment."
Jiang Ruan looked down.
Indeed, Bai Yi’s official Weibo had posted something.
Bai Yi: "Thanks @Jiang Ruan for the watermelon juice, let’s keep it up!"
Immediately, the comment section was swamped by Bai Yi’s fans.
"Ahhh, Bai Yi, you’re finally back!"
"So, it turns out he also drank Jiang Ruan’s watermelon juice!"
"Waaah, I’m instantly sold on the watermelon juice, it’s the one my idol drank! Jiang Ruan the fairy drank it too!"
"Thanks @Jiang Ruan for getting my idol the juice, I’ve decided to follow you too!"
"Oh my gosh, it’s the first time seeing my idol post specifically to thank someone, and it’s the female lead of the new drama. Are they together already? The crew photos are so sweet and they match so well, is shipping them allowed..."
"I want to ship them too..."
"Ahhh no way, Bai Yi is mine, he can’t have a girlfriend, but if it’s Jiang Ruan, it’s not so bad, after all, I’m a sucker for good looks..."
"Jiang Ruan is indeed good-looking, quite strong and talented, but in my heart, the only one who can be with Bai Yi is me..."
"Love you Bai Yi, filming in this hot weather, take care not to get heatstroke, or the fans will be heartbroken!"
"Ahhh can I ship them? I want to ship them. Bai Yi is handsome and tall, Jiang Ruan is pretty and slim, they’re a perfect match, be together! Be together!"
Jiang Ruan scrolled down.
The atmosphere began to shift.
Finally, it all turned into people shipping the two of them as a couple.
Jiang Ruan’s lips twitched slightly.
For some reason, a certain man’s image flashed in her mind, since he left a month ago.
They had talked on the phone three times in total.
Text messages were scarce.
It felt like she had a man, but also like she was a widow.
Jiang Ruan pursed her lips, her mood soured instantly, she glanced a few more times before handing the phone back to Sister Qin.
What’s the point of dating, being all lovey-dovey?
She was focused on her career.
No one cared about her.
Why was she feeling sentimental?
She should focus on her career too, becoming famous everywhere, huh!
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of September.
After finishing the last scene, the drama officially wrapped up.
Everyone shouted in unison, "Congratulations on the completion of Jinfu Legend!"
Four months of filming together, joking and messing around every day.
The crew members couldn’t help but shed tears at parting.
Seeing as everyone was about to disperse, and uncertain when they would reunite, they couldn’t help but cry.
Jiang Ruan felt quite sad as well; people are emotional beings, and her feelings during these four months were genuine.
Everyone exchanged their heavy costumes for their own clothes.
Originally feeling a bit melancholy, after changing, Jiang Ruan instantly felt joyful again.
Damn, anymore of this and she’d really get heat rash.
Filming a period drama in summer was truly punishing.
Nothing beats your own clothes.
Coming out of the dressing room, she happened to see Bai Yi emerging from the opposite side. Seeing her, Bai Yi’s eyes paused.
He walked over, one hand in his pocket.
"Are you heading back to Beijing later?"
