The Entertainment Industry Waits For Our Divorce Chapter 52

Twenty-seventh Day of Separation (2)

In the afternoon, during the preparation for the athletes backstage, Liang Yan was shocked by the views on her direct videos during the morning dance and the extra followers in her Weibo account.

As soon as she got off the stadium earlier, she rushed to Jiang Mu and grabbed him by the collar. She shook him hard and asked, “Quickly, tell me! When did I learn this dance? When the music started, I automatically knew the dance moves ahhhh!”

Jiang Mu’s brain was shaken until it was almost scrambled, and while rescuing his shoulders from Liang Yan’s  clutches, he replied, “I don’t know either!”

Jiang Mu stared at Liang Yan with a mixture of grievance and shock on his face. “When did you quietly study this cute, girl group dance?  You didn’t even tell me, that’s really not good!”

Even Jiang Mu didn’t know the story, so Liang Yan was totally blind.

Liang Yan knew that the audience cheered for her when she danced and that the host even praised her for dancing well. As  for the  shot going viral and the rise in popularity, this was totally unexpected.

It had been less than a day since the “Idol Games” started. Liang Yan had become the first breakout star.

Liang Yan, at first, was very embarrassed about facing the young girls from the Star Girls group as she had taken their limelight.

They were nice to her in the morning, and she had stolen their thunder. But the young girls were really nice to her. Liang Yan found out that the girls found her to be a very nice person.

Also, Liang Yan wasn’t an idol, so there was no conflict between their resources. They even reposted Liang Yan’s Cheer Up! direct shots with titles: "Senior Liang Yan’s fried chicken sticks ヾ(°°)"

Liang Yan breathed a sigh of relief and happily interacted one by one with the nine girls on Weibo.

In the afternoon, there were obviously more fans in the “Idol Games” live broadcast room than in the morning.

Fans were waiting for their idols to perform, and Langya Gathering Place Fan Group rushed to watch after they heard the news.

[Where’s Liang Yingjun? Where is Liang Yingjun? This pig’s hoof rushed out to compete on his own. Langya is here to support you!]

[What event is Liang Yan participating in?]

[We beg Liang Yingjun to participate in archery as we want to admire her stunning beauty!]

[I’m a new fan after watching Liang Yan’s direct shots in the morning.]

[Liang Yan is close to the Star girls, and the two fan bases didn’t tear up each other. It’s so cute.]

[Ahem, is Liang Yan’s fanbase organized? I don’t know how to do this. It’s my first time following a star.]

[Yes, come. I’ll pull you into Langya Gathering Place.]

......

Most of the events in the afternoon were the preliminary rounds between the groups, and tomorrow was the final round for the winners in the group for each event. The Langya fans were waiting very eagerly in the live broadcast room, but after the 100 m, 400 m, 800 m dash, the high jump, long jump, swimming, and the most popular competition of beauty, the archery competition, still there was no sign of Liang Yan in the entry list.

[What happened?]

[Where’s my Liang Yan?]

[How can a beauty like Liang Yan not participate in archery?]

[Even with such long legs, she’s not running?]

[Where’s my Yingjun?]

There were a lot of discussions in the live broadcast room. And then, there was a close-up of the fans in the stadium. A long-distance shot swept over and revealed that there were fans of the idols holding different light sticks but there were no fans of Liang Yan.

[Liang Yan doesn’t have any fans to support her there? How pitiful.]

Afterwards, the host announced, “Next, let’s welcome the athletes competing for the women’s discus throw — Liang Yan, Jiang Juan!”

Fans wondered if they heard it wrong.

Liang Yan, throwing a discus?

Jiang Juan who was competing with Liang Yan was a comedian actress weighing 200 pounds. It was assumed that she was invited by the crew to even out the number. She stood alone in front of the field with Liang Yan.

While the fans were cheering for the other events from the spectator stands, the discus, which was unpopular and not elegant, was deserted.

Liang Yan and Jiang Juan looked at each other and awkwardly smiled. They both knew that they were not here voluntarily to throw the discus.

And for an event like this, there were only two of them participating despite having a preliminary round and final round for two days. Today was the preliminary and tomorrow was the final. The winner of the two rounds was declared the champion.

The fans in the live broadcast room were very angry.

[Why, why is Liang Yan not in the regular events like gymnastics, archery, and running?!]

[Although I know she used to be a weightlifter, I still don’t want to see her throwing the discus.]

[I heard that the organizing committee made arrangements in advance on which artist will participate in what event! Everyone was trying to participate in gymnastics and  archery, but it’s a bit too much to assign her to throw the discus!]

[Bullying Liang Yan because  she has no fans?]

[Who said that Liang Yan doesn’t have fans! I’m a male fan who jumped in the pit today.]

[I’m so angry, so angry! No one at the scene was cheering for my Liang Yan!]

[Jiang Juan was also miserable. She can only throw discus because she’s fat.]

......

In the discus event of the “Idol Games,”  Liang Yan was the first to take the center stage.

Although she majored in weightlifting during her childhood in the sports school, she would still practice all of the sports at the beginning of her training. Liang Yan wasn’t that unfamiliar with the discus. She stood in the starting line, holding a 1.005 kg. standard weight of discus in her hand. She looked at the ground in front of her and took a deep breath…..

***********

Liang Yan’s direct shots of “Cheer Up!” was shared with an amazing amount. It didn’t take long for even Lu Lincheng who didn’t usually go on Weibo much to see it on his own feed.

He was in WiFi mode, so the video played automatically.

Liang Yan looked at the camera with her hands on the top of her head, making a big heart.

Her smile was sweet and bright, a mouthful of pearly-white teeth, and her eyes seemed to shine with light.

Lu Lincheng’s brows furrowed  as he stared on the screen.

The same dance move was performed by the little green-faced Liang Yan.

The comment section was full of otaku fans: [Liang Yan, I can!]

Liang Yan once said, “Lu Lincheng, I can do it!”

Lu Lincheng read the fan's comment. They were wildly confessing to her on Weibo. He turned off his phone in annoyance.

What was going on?

His head aches.
