Twelve Units of Sweetness: Chapter 19

Zhen Tian doesn’t have any interest in ordering food. She clicked on Weibo and said to Chen Zui, “Senior, do you know you are on the hot search?”

Chen Zui was stunned, “Hot search? I know someone posted my picture on Weibo but I don’t think it would end up in the hot search right?”

Zhen Tian didn’t answer and simply clicked on the hot search list to verify, “It’s true. It’s number six on the hot search.”

The waiter who was waiting for them to order was no longer in a hurry and glanced at Zhen Tian's phone curiously.

“ABA News Anchor Chen Zui” is number six. Is this handsome guy an anchor from ABA?

After clicking on the hot search, the top post is still You You’s. However, it is not the one she originally posted but a fan art she did.

Zhen Guo_You You V: Seeing Anchor Chen wear such tight suits, I couldn’t help but set about [picture]

The man in her picture is Chen Zui. He is still wearing the suit he wore in the noon broadcast but in her drawing, the neat and tidy suit was in a mess. Not only was the blazer wide open, the dress shirt was unbuttoned down to his chest and the tie was loose around his neck.

The most exciting thing is that there is a clearly visible lip print on the side of his neck.

Zhen Tian, “.....”

People who can draw can do whatever they want!

Chen Zui who was sitting across from her had already taken out his phone and went on Weibo. Upon seeing this, Zhen Tian hurriedly stopped him, “Senior, you should order first. I’ll help you look at it on Weibo!”

Chen Zui glanced at the waiter who was waiting for them and put his phone aside, “All right.”

Zhen Tian quickly scanned through Weibo. You You's fan art was forwarded tens of thousands of times, and the number of comments was also increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Damn, Teacher You You’s drawing speed is too fast [covers face]”

“Immortal drawing!! Love you!”

"Sister You You, I hope you can also have this hand speed when you draw your own manhwa [cries]"

“Ahhh Chen Zui!”

“You group of deranged people. You can’t even let go a news anchor [covers face]”

“What a precious anchor is this!! I already set it up as my screensaver!”

“Sister You You, did you know Chen Zui is on the hot search? [covers face] You sent him on the list with your own strength [covers face]”

“Upstairs, Teacher Tang Zhi forwarded this photo followed by a bunch of verified accounts. Then it went on the hot search.”

Zhen Tian withdrew from the comment, took another look at You You's fan art, and silently saved it.

Senior looked too seductive like this!

"What's the matter?" Chen Zui saw Zhen Tian's cheeks slightly red and gave her a questioning look.

“No-nothing.” Zhen Tian took a sip of the glass of water to calm down, “Have you finished ordering?”

"Well, I don't know what you like to eat, so I just casually ordered some dishes." Chen Zui asked her, "What's going on on Weibo?"

"Oh, Weibo..." At the mention of this, Zhen Tian's face started to get hot again, "It's nothing. A manga artist drew a picture of you. Uh, it was done well, a lot of big verified accounts shared it."

Chen Zui nodded, "Well, the heat should come down soon."

“En….” Zhen Tian reluctantly nodded. He doesn’t know how dangerous Weibo can be.

The restaurant's serving speed was not bad. The two of them didn't wait long before the dishes they ordered were served one by one. Looking at the dishes on the table, Zhen Tian said to Chen Zui with some surprise, "Senior, almost all of the dishes you ordered are my favorite."

"Really?" Chen Zui smiled at her, "It seems that we are of the same heart."

Embarrassed by his comment “of the same heart,” Zhen Tian buried her head and ate her dishes. She didn’t forget to tell him to eat more.

Chen Zui responded with a smile, holding the chopsticks, he casually asked her, "By the way, is your online friend still in A City ?"

“Online friend?” Zhen Tian didn’t react for a while, “Are you talking about Zhou Keye?”

“En.”

“I don’t know. I think he should still be here.”

Chen Zui raised his eyes and looked at her, “Have you two not been in touch the past two days?”

“No, he should be busy with his own stuff. Like I said, I rarely go on my alternate account.”

“En, let’s eat.” Chen Zui put a piece of meat in her bowl.

“Thank you.”

Chen Zui paid for the meal which Zhen Tian didn’t fight him about. The two came out of the restaurant and Chen Zui opened the car door, “Where are you going? I will take you.”

Worried that he was exhausted, Zhen Tian refused, “You should go home and rest. I can just take the taxi.”

Chen Zui insisted, “It’s fine. Get in the car.”

“...” Zhen Tian obediently got into the car. This is really bad. Why does she always listen to him!

Chen Zui left after taking Zhen Tian to Qingnan Lane. Contrary to what he thought, his hot search did not drop, rather it went higher and higher. Zhen Tian, who was scrolling through Weibo on her phone, wondered how her senior would react after seeing it.

“Boss Zhen, the one on the hot search today is your senior right?” Zhu Ling also asked Zhen Tian about this when she arrived. Zhen Tian handed her a drink and slowly replied, “En.”

“I saw the picture too. It was very sexy.” Zhu Ling took a sip of beer. Seeing Zhen Tian’s look of displeasure, she joked, “What? Are you unhappy to see your senior coveted by so many girls?”

“No! Don’t speak nonsense!”

“Hey, what’s there to be upset about? Think about it, they could only have pictures of him whereas you can have the real person.”

Zhen Tian, “...”

Who wants the real person?

….Thinking about the picture of Chen Zui she saved, Zhen Tian felt a bit guilty.

"I said I'm not. You think everyone is the same as you, only know how to talk about love every day?" Zhen Tian said in a strong voice.

Zhu Ling held the beer glass and snorted, “Don’t deny it.”

Zhen Tian, “....”

Even if she has thought about it, she won’t admit it.

Chen Zui himself saw the picture on Weibo. Rather, Chen Yiran showed it to him when he came home from school. His hot search was on Weibo the entire afternoon. The next day, it was replaced with something else. Chen Zui thought the incident had passed but he did not expect Tian Sen to specifically mention it at the meeting the next day.

“Everybody knows about Chen Zui’s hot search yesterday, right? Because of this incident, our ratings increased this morning, reaching the highest it has been in the past six months. The views on previous videos on the official website also increased sharply. "

After hearing Tian Sen’s words, everyone laughed and spoke softly to each other. Lu Fan snorted and unwillingly said, "The increase in ratings is not necessarily because of this, right?"

Tian Sen looked at him and said, “Whether it's because of this or not, it's a good thing. Many viewers commented on the website, saying that they like Chen Zui's hosting very much."

Lu Fan silently pursed his lips.

Tian Sen turned to Chen Zui, “Although you suddenly became popular, I hope that your attitude will stay the same and don’t let it affect your work.”

Chen Zui nodded, “I know.”

The intern anchor raised her hand, “I just saw several girls gathered downstairs. It feels like they are fans staying there.”

“Fans? I don’t believe we have any celebrities recording here today.” Tian Sen is surprised. There are often celebrities who come to the station to record various shows. It’s not uncommon for fans to stop by after hearing about it, but today he didn’t receive any notice of celebrities coming here.

The intern anchor gave Chen Zui a meaningful look, “They seem to be waiting for Teacher Chen.”

"Me?" Chen Zui's tone showed obvious surprise. He had seen fans come to the TV station to see celebrities all the time, but he never thought that one day the protagonist would be him.

After Tian Sen heard this, he looked at Chen Zui and laughed: "Not bad, Anchor Chen. This is the treatment of a popular male star. It seems that you will have to wear a mask when you enter and exit the TV station."

Chen Zui smiled, “Producer Tian, don’t laugh at me.”

Tian Sen smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "It's okay. Our security guards are already familiar with this kind of thing. They will protect you."

“En….”

After the meeting, the intern anchor actually handed Chen Zui a black mask, “Teacher Chen, take this mask. It’s the same one that celebrities wear!”

Chen Zui gave it a side glance. After thinking about it for a while, he took the mask, “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome!”

In the afternoon, Chen Zui still hosted Noon 60 Minutes on behalf of Deng Liyang. When he left the studio, he looked downstairs and saw that the girls gathered below still hadn't left. Are they really waiting for him?

“These girls are really persistent.” Du Yuting also followed him to look down, “But it’s only these few people. Security can handle them, don’t worry.”

“En, I’m going to change first.” He took his script and walked away. On the way, Zhen Tian sent him a message asking him when they were going to see Deng Liyang today. Chen Zui thought about it and called her, “Zhen Tian.”

“Senior, what is the matter?” After receiving Chen Zui’s phone call, Zhen Tian immediately straightened up.

Chen Zui said as he walked, “There are a few female viewers here at the station. They may be waiting for me. I’ll try to avoid them but I will be coming later.”

“Ah? They went to your station?” Zhen Tian knows that celebrity fans are super mobile but she didn’t expect them to chase a news anchor like this too. “You should go home directly. Don’t go to the hospital anymore, what if they find out that Brother Deng is in the hospital. What if they still block you in the hospital?”

Chen Zui frowned and thought about it. This is not impossible. He suddenly replaced him on the noon news. After a few inquiries, they will find out that Deng Liyang is hospitalized.

“Don’t worry. I will go see Brother Deng in the afternoon. I will report to you right after. You should try not to run around these two days.”

Chen Zui sighed, “Okay, be safe.”

“En, I know. You go home and rest. Remember to have lunch.”

Chen Zui finally smiled, “Okay.”

When driving out of the ABA station, he put on the mask the intern gave him. When the girls saw a car coming out, they peered into the car curiously. The security guards at ABA are used to dealing with bigger crowds and easily stop them. Chen Zui drove away safely.

He didn’t go out in the afternoon. Before Zhen Tian went to the hospital, she sent him a message.

Zhen Tian drove herself to the hospital today. When she arrived in the ward, she heard quarreling coming from inside. She stood outside and did not go in. After a while, a woman came out looking angry. She was taken aback when she saw Zhen Tian, “Who are you?”

Maybe it was because she was still angry but her tone was not friendly. Zhen Tian smiled at her, alleviating the tense atmosphere, “Hello, I am Chen Zui’s former classmate. I came to see Brother Deng on his behalf.”

“Chen Zui’s classmate?” Li Miao heard Deng Liyang mention her before, “Zhen Tian?”

“Yes, you are Sister Miaomiao, right? Hello.”

“Hello.” Li Miao’s tone eased a lot. She slung her bag over her shoulder as if she was about to leave, “Liyang is inside. You can go and see it. Did you two also come yesterday? There is no need for you to waste your gas on this type of person.”

“Li Miao, what are you talking about? Do you think I can’t hear you?”

Deng Liyang’s voice came from inside. Li Miao pursed her lips and said to Zhen Tian, “I’m leaving now.”

“Ok, take care.” Zhen Tian watched Li Miao leave before entering the room, “Brother Deng, why are you still acting like this after being hospitalized? Why are you quarreling with Sister Miaomiao again?”

“It’s she who insists on arguing with me. You already saw how she is. I am already like this and she still talks that way about me!” Deng Liyang didn’t really want to quarrel with Li Miao but now whenever he is with her, they will quarrel most of the time.

“What about Sister Miaomiao? I think she is pretty.” Zhen Tian sat down on the chair and looked at Deng Liyang, “Speaking of which, how did you two fight that day?”

Deng Liyang snorted, “It’s because she suddenly went crazy. She felt that I was incompetent as a boyfriend and often couldn’t get in touch with me. Who doesn’t have their own business to do!”

Zhen Tian, “....”

“Uh….she’s your girlfriend. You need to spend more time with her.”

“She thinks her colleague cares more about her than me. It’s the male colleague who is going to travel with her.” Deng Liyang got angry again, saying, “Are you by yourself today? Where is Chen Zui?”

“Something happened to senior.” Zhen Tian said.

Deng Liyang sat up from the hospital bed in shock, “What happened to him?”

“He was on the hot search!”

“.....Huh???”

“Some fans came to the station to see him!”

“...” Deng Liyang picked up his phone and went on Weibo.

Ten minutes later, Deng Liyang who finally understood the ins and outs of the matter, began to have some self-doubt.

How come he hasn’t been able to enjoy the treatment of being number 6 on the hot search even though he broadcast the noon news for so many years? Not to mention, none of the viewers went to the TV station to see him!

“He is very troubled.” Zhen Tian said.

“....” Deng Liyang who was silent for a while smiled at her, “Oh, ordinary people can’t understand such extravagant troubles.”

Zhen Tian curled her lips and didn’t bother to bicker with this patient. She chatted with Deng Liyang for 20 minutes which is regarded as completing her task of visiting the patient. After leaving the hospital, she went directly home.

Ms. Wang Shuzhen was drying quilts in the garden. When she saw Zhen Tian come back, she beckoned her over, “You’re back early. Come and help me dry the quilts.”

“Oh.” Zhen Tian closed the car door and went to help her with the quilt. Before she could even touch it, Ms. Wang Shuzhen pushed her away, “Go and wash your hands first.”

“....So picky.” When Zhen Tian came back from washing her hands, Pudding was running around Ms. Wang Shuzhen in the garden. Zhen Tian walked over and he started to circle around her.

“Pudding, be careful or someone is going to step on you.” Pudding is so small. If he isn’t careful, someone will trip over him. Zhen Tian still remembered when she accidentally stepped on him on his first night. He got his revenge the next day.

“Zhenzhen, you’re drying the quilts?”

This nickname made Zhen Tian’s entire body shake. Her dad never called her mother this affectionately.

"Yes. I’m taking advantage of the sun today to wash all the quilts at home." Ms. Wang Shuzhen said and gave Zhen Tian a meaningful look, "Why don't you know how to greet someone?"

Zhen Tian immediately smiled and sweetly greeted, "Hello, Aunt Liao."

“Hello as well. Tiantian is getting prettier by the day.”

“Woof!” Pudding barked and ran out of the garden to find his dad. Aunt Liao led Ah Jin over and chatted with Ms. Wang Shuzhen, “Why is Chen Zui’er who broadcasts the morning news doing the noon broadcast the past two days?”

Ms. Wang Shuzhen replied, “I don’t know. Maybe something happened to the original host?”

“Maybe. Did you know that Chen Zui’er has gone viral on the internet?”

“Really?” Ms. Wang Shuzhen has not heard about it, “I don’t use the internet much. What happened?”

"I don't know the specifics. In short, many young girls like him and draw his fan art."

Zhen Tian, “...”

Aunt Liao couldn’t have possibly seen Chen Zui’s most famous fan art right?

“Fan art? What kind? Show it to me." Ms. Wang Shuzhen expressed her curiosity.

Zhen Tian, “....”

“I didn’t bring my phone with me. I will show it to you next time.” Aunt Liao said, "My daughter also watches his program now. She said that he is a national son-in-law on the Internet and mothers like him."

“What’s the use of liking. There is only one of him. I don’t know which girl has the ability to take him home to meet the family.” Ms. Wang Shuzhen sighed while patting the quilt.

Aunt Liao smiled, "Didn't your family Tian Tian accept an interview with him last time? Maybe there is a chance."

"Her?" Ms. Wang Shuzhen gave Zhen Tian a disdainful look, "She only likes her beer enthusiast."

Zhen Tian rolled up her sleeves and was about to have a row with her when the phone in her pocket rang. Ms. Wang Shuzhen saw her expression change when she took out her phone and asked, “Who is it?”

Zhen Tian smiled at her, “Beer enthusiast.”

She walked back inside and answered the phone. On the screen displayed in bold letters were the words Chen Zui.
