In the second season of Heart’s Confessions, the fans felt the most chemistry between only two pairs. Wen Chi & Jiang Siheng, and Zhou Yunbai & Qin Xiyu.

However, after the dating show ended, Wen Chi and Jiang Siheng seemed to have no contact, so many CP fans could only rewatch the show and ship the couple on their own. It was only recently that they learned Wen Chi and Jiang Siheng were in the same drama production, which means they were in the same frame together, keeping HengWen alive.

Until tonight, several trending topics suddenly appeared on Weibo, occupying the top five spots.

Especially with a trending topic behind it featuring the word【explosive】in bold red, almost black.

【What the heck?!】

【Holy crap!!! Do these two really have something going on?】

【Ahhh, the CP I ship is real!】

【Xiao Chi is even standing there obediently while Jiang Siheng touches his cheek! Aww, my soul is melting!】

【I knew these two definitely have something going on!】

【…Damn.】

【Ahhhhhh!】

【Who understands the last gif! They really have so much chemistry!】

There are still some fans who refuse to believe Jiang Siheng and Wen Chi are together, so they directly ran to the comment section of Jiang Siheng’s most recent Weibo post and started wildly commenting, tagging Jiang Siheng to ask if it’s true. After some fans posted the comments, they realized and went to check the post’s timestamp, only to find it was a post from more than two months ago.

…

The trending topic was quickly spreading online, and gossip reporters, not sure where they got the news of Jiang Siheng’s schedule from, immediately grabbed their cameras and microphones then rushed to the airport. As soon as Jiang Siheng got off the plane, he was surrounded by a group of reporters before he could even leave the airport.

“Teacher Jiang, may I ask, are you really together with Wen Chi?!”

“May I ask, is it because of Heart’s Confessions that you two got together?”

“I heard you and Wen Chi are in the same drama together. Did you recommend Wen Chi to the director to join the cast?”

From all directions, there were various questions and voices. Xiao Pang was confused for a moment, not knowing what was going on. By the time he realized, his body had already instinctively moved forward to separate the reporters. “Don’t crowd, don’t crowd! Hey, you over there, be careful with your microphone, you’re shoving it into the brother’s mouth in front!”

The airport security received the message and immediately rushed over to maintain order. Jiang Siheng stopped, his gaze swept over the group of reporters in front of him. Upon hearing their questions, he slightly furrowed his brow.

Xiao Pang naturally also heard the questions the reporters were asking. He froze for a moment, then reacted and took out his phone to open Weibo. When he saw the trending topic hanging on the top, his heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly informed Jiang Siheng. “Jiang Ge, you and Teacher Wen were photographed while having dinner.”

If it was just a photo of them having dinner together, they might still be able to do some PR and claim it was just two friends meeting up for a meal, but the photos and gifs posted by the marketing accounts all pointed to the fact that Wen Chi and Jiang Siheng’s relationship was more than simple.

After all, which friends go out to eat, hold hands, and touch each other’s face.

“Teacher Jiang, can you answer our questions!”

“Someone took a photo of you and Wen Chi holding hands. So you and Wen Chi are together, right!”

“I heard this drama is directed by Director Xu Zhenglin, and that during the dating show, you personally introduced Wen Chi to Director Xu. So you two were already together at that time, right?”

“Film Emperor Jiang, are you and Wen Chi really together or just creating a CP? If it’s the latter, does your company have any collaboration with Wen Chi’s company?”

The questions from the reporters were becoming more and more pointed. A few new reporters standing at the back heard those increasingly outrageous questions, some of them frowned in discomfort, but they didn’t speak up to stop them, because they too, wanted to know the answers to these questions. And if Jiang Siheng responded, it would obviously be a huge topic.

They thought Jiang Siheng wouldn’t give a direct response, but to their surprise, the man quietly stared at them for a few seconds. Perhaps his gaze was too cold, and the reporters, who were originally shouting nonstop, gradually quieted down.

If they could dig up dirt, they definitely would, but when they thought of Jiang Siheng’s background…

Jiang Siheng glanced at the phone Xiao Pang handed over, he didn’t say anything, but instead took out his own phone and pressed his thumb on the screen a few times. Immediately after, the reporter closest to the man heard a WeChat notification sound.

All the reporters saw it, and Jiang Siheng lightly smiled while looking at his phone.

He turned off the phone, and Jiang Siheng looked at one of the reporters. He paused for a moment and said, “Sorry, could you repeat your question from earlier?”

His tone and attitude were very polite and it didn’t seem like he was trying to make things difficult for them. The reporter who was pointed at by Jiang Siheng was both shocked and delighted. Facing the jealous gazes of the other reporters, he asked the same question again, “Teacher Jiang, may I ask, are you and Wen Chi together?”

Almost everyone’s gaze was focused on the man, and the next second, they heard Jiang Siheng calmly and steadily say, “Yes.”

He! Admitted! It!!!

“Teacher Jiang, may I ask, when did you and Wen Chi get together?”

“Did you develop feelings for each other during the dating show?”

“So the reason Wen Chi is in the same drama production as you, is because Director Xu let him join the cast for your sake, right?”

“Since you and Wen Chi are together, why didn’t you make it public earlier? After all, you both participated in a dating show.”

Facing one sharp question after another, Jiang Siheng still maintained a cold expression. When he heard the next question, he looked at the reporter who asked, his tone light and casual, “Why didn’t you make it public earlier?”

The reporter swallowed nervously, and anxiously looked at the man, “Uh… if you don’t want to answer…”

It’s not like you can’t.

He hadn’t finished speaking yet when he heard Jiang Siheng say, “My boyfriend won’t allow it.”

It sounded like he was a bit aggrieved.

The three words, “boyfriend,” seemed like a fuse, instantly reigniting the reporters’ emotions.

“So why are you admitting it now? Aren’t you afraid Wen Ch… Teacher Wen will be angry?” someone asked.

Jiang Siheng said, “Because I just got Teacher Wen’s consent.”

The implication being, my wife agreed, so I’m saying it.

So the reason he was smiling at his phone just now is because Wen Chi sent him a message, right?

Hmm… okay.

The reporters were caught off guard and had a mouthful of dog food.

…

In the early hours of the day, the gossip entertainment studio was working overtime, coming up with headlines, writing copy, editing videos… It didn’t take long, and one by one, posts linking the names “Wen Chi” and “Jiang Siheng” appeared on Weibo.

“Why didn’t you make it public earlier?”

“My boyfriend won’t allow it.”

“Because I just got Teacher Wen’s consent.”

Netizens: …Damn!

【I can’t take it anymore, it’s so sweet I’m dying】

【Who still has to work tomorrow but is still surfing the internet?】

【Ahhhhhh, HengWen! HengWen!】

【Who understands, I’m really so sleepy, but my brain is so awake】

【”Boyfriend” “Teacher Wen,” they’re really so sweet!】

【Teacher Jiang already admitted it, when will Xiao Chi also come out and admit it?】

【The younger brother already admitted it! Didn’t you hear Teacher Jiang say he only admitted the relationship after getting the younger brother’s consent?】

【I can’t take it anymore. I used to have no interest in dating shows, but now I’m going to watch the variety show that Wen Chi and Jiang Siheng were on!】

【Me too, me too, I’m going to watch it three times!】

In the end, it was passively made public. Wen Chi was lying on his side, logged into his secondary Weibo account and scrolled through the screen to read the netizens’ comments. He saw that only a small number of people disagreed, didn’t believe, or were unwilling to accept it, and he let out a small sigh of relief.

To be honest, Wen Chi didn’t want Jiang Siheng to be insulted by netizens and fans.

Suddenly, the ringtone went off, and Wen Chi was startled. The phone fell, scraped, and hit his nose.

“Hello! Wen Chi! You and Emperor Jiang have been photographed, the company called just now and asked if they should suppress the trending topic, or just admit it directly.” Jin Ge shouted from the other end of the phone.

Wen Chi sat up and asked, “What did A-Heng’s company say?”

Jin Ge choked for a moment, and his voice became softer, “How did you know his company contacted me too?”

Wen Chi smiled for a moment. “Just guessed. Go ahead and admit it directly. You handle the coordination, and I’ll post a Weibo update too.”

“You don’t need to post a Weibo update, right?” Jin Ge furrowed his brow. “The company can just issue an official announcement.”

“That won’t do.” Wen Chi thought of the video he had just seen, a softness and a hint of shyness in his eyes and brows. “I also need to personally give my boyfriend a ‘proper title.'”

Jin Ge was stunned. “What?”

Wen Chi hung up the phone, and opened one of the encrypted albums in his phone’s photo gallery. Inside, there were nearly a hundred photos of him and Jiang Siheng together, as well as photos of Jiang Siheng.

Hmm, which one should he choose?

Wen Chi started looking down from the first photo, and suddenly his gaze paused, muttering to himself, “How about… this one?”

But it’s already so late, should he still post it?

It was already past 1 AM, but Weibo was still very lively.

The netizens and fans were still actively discussing this matter. As they scrolled, they came across the PR announcements from both companies, which were almost issued one after another.

“Little Jiang, the announcement should be fine. I’ve also contacted their PR over there.” The company boss, while facing Jiang Siheng, spoke in a tone full of respect and deference.

Outsiders might never guess that Jiang Siheng’s company, Linyao Entertainment, is actually one of the entertainment industries under the Jiang Group. The artist Jiang Siheng is actually the heir to the company.

Jiang Siheng was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. His gaze seemingly fixed somewhere and his voice calm, “I know. Have someone keep an eye on the comments under those two Weibo posts, and delete any extreme language as soon as it appears.”

“Alright.”

“I saw that a marketing account is saying Xiao Chi got into the drama through you by using backstage connections, should I post a Weibo to clarify?” Director Xu had been sitting on the sofa behind, not speaking. Only when he saw Jiang Siheng didn’t say anything more did he finally speak up.

The assistant director beside him said, “Teacher Wen was contacted by Director Xu himself. I remember at that time, Teacher Wen didn’t even know you two were in the same drama.”

Jiang Siheng turned to look at Director Xu and smiled. “It would be best if Director Xu could clarify it himself.”

Director Xu nodded. “I got it, I’ll go back and post on Weibo later.”

The crew wrapped really late today, and everyone didn’t get back to the hotel until almost midnight.

At that time, Director Xu was just about to go back to his room to rest when Xiao Tang suddenly came over and told him about what was happening online. If it had only been about Wen Chi and Jiang Siheng’s relationship being exposed, he definitely wouldn’t have stepped in, but the problem was that rumors started spreading saying Wen Chi got into the drama through connections.

Wen Chi was someone he personally reached out to, and Jiang Siheng didn’t even know at that time. So Director Xu felt he had to speak up for Wen Chi.

“Uh, Little Jiang.”

Jiang Siheng’s phone rang again with the sound of the company boss’s voice, and only then did Director Xu and the assistant director realize that Jiang Siheng hadn’t hung up the phone earlier.

“Mr. Wen has posted on Weibo.”

Jiang Siheng raised an eyebrow, hung up the phone and glanced at the time, then opened Weibo. He only followed a few people on Weibo, and after refreshing his homepage, the first post was the one Wen Chi had just published.

The image attached was a photo of Wen Chi and Jiang Siheng taken from a third-person perspective.

The young man grabbed the man’s collar with one hand and raised his phone with the other, seemingly about to take a selfie. Yet unexpectedly, the man next to him suddenly raised his hand and placed it against the young man’s head, slightly bent down, and kissed him on the cheek. The young man’s expression was one of surprise, with a hint of barely noticeable shyness.

【@Wen Chi: Heard we are HengWen [heart] #image#】
