Then a skit came out. The actor who performed it had a great reputation and was a regular on the Spring Festival Gala every year. The quality of the program was also very high. The plot and lines were novel and funny. Yi Qingxue clapped happily, and Jiang Xin next to her couldn't stop laughing.
Jiang Jianhuan had a smile on her face for a long time, feeling relaxed and happy, a rare moment of joy in recent times. She cut the peeled apple into small pieces, put them on a plate, and stuck toothpicks in them.
"Mom and Dad, have some apples."
The plate had just been handed over, and the smile on his face hadn't even faded when the host's voice, filled with excitement yet restrained, came from the television.
"Next up, please welcome our Su Mo and Chi Lan."
"I'll be bringing you this song, 'Youthful Days'."
Clapping and cheering erupted as the song's intro began.
Jiang Jianhuan turned to look at the TV, and two familiar faces appeared on the clear LCD screen.
Su Mo was wearing a big coat and shirt, a black baseball cap, and a pair of large-framed gradient brown glasses on her high nose bridge, which covered her forehead and eyes.
Although this outfit allows you to see the outline of his face, it blurs his features. Even in close-up shots, you can only clearly see his chin and profile.
However, even standing there, he was still so handsome that it was impossible to look away. Unlike the refined and proper handsomeness of ordinary celebrities, he exuded a nonchalant indifference.
Whether it's worn-out, loose jeans, the emotionless eyes behind the glasses, or even a simple gesture.
They all have the ability to firmly capture one's gaze, making it hard to look away.
Not far from him was Chi Lan, dressed in pink and white. Perhaps to match Su Mo's outfit, she unusually abandoned the gorgeous dress and wore a light pink oversized off-shoulder sweatshirt, paired with a pure white tulle skirt.
Full of youthful energy, her image is somewhat different from her previous ones, but she is still just as beautiful.
Standing together, the two of them gave Jiang Jianhuan a feeling that they were a pleasing and well-matched pair.
Su Mo's song "Youth" was adapted into a duet. Chi Lan's voice was excellent and surprisingly blended with Su Mo's. The entire show was a double treat for the eyes and ears.
No one touched the apples on the plate. Jiang Xin and Yi Qingxue looked at her, their eyes filled with concern that they deliberately concealed.
They had met Su Mo and Chi Lan, and Jiang Jianhuan hadn't kept their breakup from them. Only Chi Lan was left out; the two of them just assumed it was a minor conflict between young girls who were no longer in contact.
Yi Qingxue would sometimes ask her about it, but after Jiang Jianhuan brushed her off a few times, she stopped asking.
"Mom and Dad, eat up." Jiang Jianhuan smiled and pushed the plate on the table a little further, her expression no different from usual.
"It won't be fresh if we don't eat it soon."
The two exchanged a glance and nodded hastily.
"Okay, you eat too."
The day after the New Year's Eve gala, Su Mo and Chi Lan became trending topics.
Chi Lan has been releasing new works one after another recently and is currently enjoying great popularity. Su Mo has always been a mainstay in the hearts of fans. Their collaboration is sure to generate a wave of discussion.
Moreover, given the previous news, the relationship between the two was already shrouded in mystery.
Su Mo is used to keeping a low profile, ignoring all rumors and offering no response or attention. His personal Weibo account has virtually no presence except for regular new song posts, yet it still boasts tens of millions of followers.
Jiang Jianhuan clicked into the topic and glanced at it. It was mostly Chi Lan's fans who were active. Su Mo seemed to know her idol's personality very well, and her fans were very rational.
Yesterday's performance was fantastic. Thank you Jiangcheng TV for inviting my brother to the New Year's Eve gala.

Based on past experience, the topic's popularity will definitely fade within half a day, because Su Mo is too aloof and the person in question doesn't care, so there's no point in them jumping around, and the marketing accounts can't even get the hype going.
Su Mo herself probably didn't even click on the trending topics to see them, and even more surprisingly, she probably didn't even know that she and Chi Lan had made the news this time.
Su Mo was genuinely unaware of this. What truly brought him to the news was a piece of gossip revealed by a prominent entertainment blogger on the same evening.
[Shocking! Sue Mo spent Christmas at home with a mysterious woman!]
The accompanying images are several blurry photos. At the beginning, Su Mo is standing inside the door, opening it for the tall and slender figure outside.
Then I saw her go inside.
Finally, as dusk was about to fall, the woman came out alone.
The image quality clearly indicates it was taken secretly. In the villa area where Su Mo lives, each house is far apart, so the person taking the picture probably zoomed in to the maximum. Although it's blurry, you can still see Su Mo's face clearly. Judging from his facial features and figure, it's undoubtedly him.
The woman kept her head down the whole time, and you could only vaguely see that she had long hair, was wearing a simple coat and jeans, and was carrying a large canvas bag on one shoulder.
These are the only photos; the rest of the captions are just media interpretations of the pictures. While the credibility of the text is debatable, it is a fact that a woman entered and left his home alone on Christmas Day.
This gossip is much more explosive than the trending topics about Su Mo and Chi Lan this morning.
People are more willing to believe in their private interactions than in a public collaboration.
After the news broke, Su Mo's fans were quite agitated.
Who is this woman? What's going on? Could Su Mo really be having an affair with her?
[A rational analysis suggests that the two people spent the afternoon in the house, and it's possible they were a man and a woman alone together.]
To be honest, although I'm reluctant to admit it, given Su Mo's personality, if a girl lets him into his house alone, and she's not a relative, friend, or colleague, then she's almost certainly his girlfriend.
This comment received over a thousand likes and quickly rose to the top of the trending comments, followed by countless replies.
The truth has been revealed.

I burst into tears! My crush is finally getting out of being single!

Jiang Jianhuan saw the news when she passed by two colleagues in the office after clocking in at work, and they suddenly stopped in their tracks.
