Chapter 32: Sheng Qing Tongyin, Meet You in the Mist
Time passes.
A small decision leads Kirimi Miyuki and Chu Yuanqing to embrace in the rain, walking together under an umbrella. Photos of their intimate moment quickly spread across fan groups on Weibo and other fan platforms.
Kirimi Miyuki’s popularity skyrocketed thanks to her stellar stage performance, which earned a Grade A rating. Her nationality and tragic past sparked much debate, drawing attention and controversy.
Chu Yuanqing, the first contestant to perform, captivated the audience with her graceful ribbon routine and charming smile. Netizens quickly made her images viral, and her debut performance was widely praised for its calm and impressive delivery.
As of now, both Kirimi Miyuki and Chu Yuanqing enjoy equal popularity. Their partnership is well-received by fans, with no significant criticism or negativity.
Fans from both sides eagerly discuss them, fueling excitement and elevating the popularity of both contestants.
Some viewers, initially indifferent to the talent show and only interested in specific pairings, became devoted fans of Kirimi Miyuki and Chu Yuanqing after seeing the photos and learning their story as a couple.
Xu Ling’s Weibo post received over three hundred shares from fans across both sides within hours, accumulating thousands of likes and tens of thousands of comments.
[I can’t believe Honey Qing is so fashionable!]
[She’s so funny! Kirimi Miyuki is like a penguin, bowing so deeply she almost falls over. So cute.]
[Oh no, I also need to stick to Honey Qing’s chest. I suspect this is a trap set by Sakura Girl!]
[It’s hard to say… the blogger really knows how to take pictures. They captured Kirimi Miyuki’s blushing face perfectly from a distance. It’s such a heartwarming moment.]
[Wow, I feel like the blogger is a little obsessed with this couple, shaking their hands so much while taking pictures. How else could they take hundreds of shots?]
[Haha, a passionate pairing, lucky them.]
[Oh no, they created a new forum for this couple? I admire the blogger’s efficiency, the purity is really high, my sisters.]
[Similar names—‘Sheng Qing Tongyin’? The blogger is good at naming things; I can only say, ‘Yes!’ Let’s ship them.]
[Oh no, another forum for this couple? This one is called ‘Meet You in the Mist.’ Very nice, with a touch of first love and moonlight. I ship them.]
Xu Ling is super efficient, but the remaining passionate CP fans, as well as fans from various sides, are also efficient. The couple’s forum quickly piled up into double digits.
The most popular topics focused on the original “Sheng Qing Tongyin” and “Meet You in the Mist”.
With the latter quickly attracting a large number of CP fans, almost surpassing the popularity of the initial “Shuangchu CP.”
Yes, it refers to Chu Wang Shu and Chu Yuanqing.
Their shared surname and visible connection make them an appealing pair.
Whenever one is focused on by the camera, the other is almost always nearby, drawing in CP fans and fan clubs.
However, it remains unclear whether it’s their chemistry or something else that makes them stand out.
This CP pairing has little connection to lesbian relationships, strangely leaning toward children’s channels.
The discussions mainly revolve around friendship or a mother-daughter dynamic, which helps avoid conflicts. While discussions are high in attention, they’re less intense in terms of engagement or controversy.
On the other hand, ‘Dazzling Stage’ in Sea City and Kyoto features nearly three hundred participants, many of whom come with strong backing from major companies.
Many contestants in the competition have strong backing from big companies, like the usual lesbian business in the girl group; they all understand very well that the fans love this.
Therefore, the companies have prepared various plans to hype up and promote the relationships between contestants before the competition.
However, the sudden introduction of the elimination system by “Dazzling Stage” led to some contestants who had planned to market their relationships withdrawing from the competition. As a result, many of the CP pairings that emerged in “Dazzling Stage” did so naturally.
The only exception to this trend was Chen Yining from Yunlan Entertainment.
Chen Yining not only chose to compete but also achieved a Top A ranking. Supported by Yunlan Entertainment, her popularity quickly became second only to Xie Qingxuan, who held dominant strength in the competition.
Under these circumstances, Chen Yining had a talented and highly popular childhood friend, the renowned choreographer Ji Shuzhu, participating in the competition alongside her.
Both of them achieved Top A rankings.
Therefore, promoting their relationship became a natural thing to do.
The audience also enjoyed this, as compared to struggling trainees who might not even get much screen time and could be eliminated in the first round; the Top A contestants, who had a high chance of debuting, were more interesting to watch and support.
This powerful pairing is not easy to come by; with many scenes and plenty of food to eat, it’s truly a heavenly gift.
Especially with childhood sweethearts, isn’t this pairing more special than other talent show duos?
Their childhood friendship added an extra layer of intrigue. From two little snowballs in elementary school to blossoming flowers in middle school—their years of genuine friendship captivated the audience.
The accumulation of small, meaningful details made their bond appear authentic and effortless to market.
Sincerity is the ultimate weapon.
Even if they’re not truly lesbians, the idea of chasing dreams alongside a close friend resonates with many.
Additionally, based on Chen Yining’s social accounts and some leaked childhood-to-adulthood details, there’s a strong possibility she could be a lesbian.
Yunlan Entertainment had originally marketed her debut three years ago, preparing her for participation in the hottest survival reality show at the time.
However, Chen Yining pulled out at the last minute, wasting millions in promotional costs and angering the program group that had supported her. As a result, her official debut only happened when ‘Dazzling Stage’ came around.
At that time, no one knew.
But now, someone has uncovered Ji Shuzhu’s schedule from that time, revealing that an incident at a music festival in Histan Country coincided with Chen Yining’s withdrawal.
Hmm, take a closer look.
All I can say is, don’t love Chen Yining too much.
Given these various factors, Chen Yining and Ji Shuzhu are currently the most popular CP couple, towering above others and hard to surpass by new contestants.
But this doesn’t mean that they have taken all the traffic in the CP circle.
The influence of ‘Dazzling Stage’ is too great.
Kirimi Miyuki and Chu Yuanqing’s CP couple, despite being newcomers, may have fewer memorable moments compared to others, like the Rainy Day series. Still, their growing popularity and the traffic they’ve gained are undeniable.
Besides, they have a big advantage.
The past experiences of the two make them more relatable to fans compared to later entrants.
If Ji Shuzhu and Chen Yining were naturally standing in the clouds, untouched by worldly dust, able to easily touch the sun as superior beings.
Kirimi Miyuki and Chu Yuanqing, on the other hand, were naturally immersed in the mud, endured worldly hardships, and struggled to grow towards the sun, longing to become followers of the moonlight.
