Gu Jingze said, “Yes, but you’re not a Christian.”

“What do you know? The holiday is just an excuse for me to indulge myself. Who cares what special occasion it is? As long as it’s a holiday, I’m happy.”

Gu Jingze looked at her in disbelief. “The things you know best are definitely fallacies and absurdities.”

However, in his heart, he also slowly agreed with what she had said.

He really felt that he was actually beginning to become brainwashed by her. It was probably because he had been together with her for too long.

It would be best for him to not become as stupid as her in the future.

However, in no time, they began to set off fireworks outside.

After eating, Lin Che’s stomach got warm. She looked outside and said, “What beautiful fireworks.” She got up and wanted to move closer to watch them.

However, Gu Jingze wrapped his arm around her waist swiftly. “Don’t move. I’ll carry you there.”

Lin Che’s face was tinged red. He carried her up and walked a few steps to the French window in the room.

As she looked out, the fireworks seemed to be facing the window. They looked even more like a riot of colors and made her feel as if she was in a fairytale world.

Lin Che could not stop cheering, “It’s so beautiful.”

“Aiya, even this is beautiful to you?”

“It’s really pretty. I wish I could watch fireworks every day.”

Gu Jingze said from beside her, “If you want, that’s possible too... ”

Lin Che looked at him in astonishment. “I was just making a comment... ”

You rich man, you better not actually set off fireworks every day...

She had really forgotten that the person beside her was a tycoon through and through.

Gu Jingze tilted his head to look at her. No matter how beautiful the fireworks were, he only wanted to look at her face right now.

At that moment, he seemed to suddenly understand the meaning behind holidays. Perhaps the meaning behind them was simply that he could be together with the person he wanted to be with. Then, no matter what he looked at, he would find everything to look amazing.

Suddenly, Gu Jingze grabbed Lin Che’s face and quietly pressed his lips against hers.

Lin Che blanked out slightly. However, as she watched Gu Jingze close his eyes and quietly approach her, her heart jolted but she did not move away from him either.

Outside, the fireworks continued to explode. Inside the room, their embrace and kiss did not carry any hint of ****.

He only let go of her after a long time.

Lin Che’s face was flushed red. However, she suddenly felt a slight taste of happiness...

That Christmas Eve night was probably the quietest holiday that the two of them had ever spent together. Although they were in a foreign land, they did not feel the difference from leaving their house at all.

The next day, Gu Jingze made Lin Che stay there to rest for another day before the two of them returned.

In the day, Gu Jingze conveniently settled some work matters in S City. He made Lin Che stay in the hotel to rest.

Sure enough, the viewer ratings for the Christmas Eve Gala were super high and the frequency with which it was talked about raised with each post.

Yu Minmin only came to Lin Che’s room to deal with some matters after finding out that Gu Jingze was not around.

Lin Che looked at the list of hot topics. Qin Wanwan and Gu Jingyu’s performance was there on the list. Everyone was praising Qin Wanwan and saying that her singing actually sounded pretty good.

Of course, it was the same for Gu Jingyu. He only had to open his mouth and his crazy fans would simply believe that his singing was good. Thus, the focus remained on the younger female celebrities who had attended the event.

As one of the younger female celebrities who had been the topic of discussion a little more frequently as of late, Lin Che was naturally brought up for a comparison.

It did not take long for Lin Che to discover that there were people attacking her online.

“Damn it. That’s why I said that people would definitely say that my singing sounded bad. Look. I really got cursed at.”

Yu Minmin walked over to her and took a look. Sure enough, people were attacking her. They intentionally compared her to Qin Wanwan and then obviously stated that Lin Che’s singing was worse than Qin Wanwan’s.

First, they began by complimenting Qin Wanwan and stating, “Qin Wanwan can really be considered an idol of excellent quality. She’s good-looking, has a good reputation, and sings so well too. All the other people are just alright. But I just don’t know what Lin Che was even singing. She was totally out of tune.”

Yu Minmin frowned as she read it. She felt that this incident was somewhat fishy.

She said, “I didn’t know if people were intentionally posting about you, so I took a look. it seems like Internet ghostwriters were intentionally posting about Qin Wanwan.”

Lin Che said, “Were they praising Qin Wanwan? But even if they were praising her, they’re not necessarily Internet ghostwriters, right? It’s a fact that Qin Wanwan sang pretty well.”

Yu Minmin smiled and looked at Lin Che. “You can tell with one look whether or not they’re Internet ghostwriters. Look. These people chat for less than a few seconds and all the words they type are more or less the same. It’s obvious that the Internet ghostwriters are posting comments altogether.”

“Really... ” Lin Che looked at Yu Minmin. “How could you tell immediately?”

“I do this line of work at night too after all, so I’m still familiar with how it works. Right now, I’m still not sure whether Qin Wanwan hired people to attack you online or whether someone else intentionally hired people to post these things about you two to create a rift and drive you two apart.”

“It’s so complicated. Then, what should we do now?” Lin Che said.

Yu Minmin said, “This matter is easy to settle too. No matter who it is, we’ll just push you up on the list. I’ll go and arrange for it later.”

Sure enough, after some time, Yu Minmin led a group of people to begin their counter-attack.

She did not begin the counter-attack by cursing at Qin Wanwan. However, after a short while, she then saw people beginning to say things like, “There’s a kind of sincerity from not lip-syncing even if the person sings so horribly.”

This person even specially cut out the clip of Lin Che singing and used a music software to remove the male singer’s voice, leaving only Lin Che’s voice.

The music... was immediately out of tune.

It was only when Lin Che heard this that she really realized. Her singing was not just ordinarily bad.

Sure enough, this post was reposted more than tens of thousands of times. Everyone laughed to death after hearing it. They said that Lin Che was really too funny. How could her singing sound so terrible?

Lin Che felt helpless. As she read it, she did not know what she should say either.

However, in the afternoon, the topic of Lin Che’s bad singing replaced Qin Wanwan’s topic and became the first on the list.

Initially, the other party had used this method to attack Lin Che. But now, Lin Che took the initiative and used this incident to mock herself instead.

She mocked herself, which immediately gave off a different feeling than the feeling from others attacking her.

In the afternoon, Lin Che went on Weibo and reposted the post. On her repost, she added a crying emoticon and followed it up with a written message, “In the future, whoever has a human vegetable at home can play this music clip to wake them up.”

Everyone swiftly went to her Weibo page to watch her as well. They commented below Lin Che’s post, “It’s alright. No matter how horrible your singing is, you’re still our Baby Che.”

“Baby Che, don’t cry. It’s great for keeping us awake at night.”

“I’ve reposted it to exorcize evil spirits.”

Lin Che looked on between laughter and tears. She asked resentfully to Yu Minmin, “Is there a manager like you? Did you get addicted to attacking me online?”

Yu Minmin said, “Who told you to really sing so terribly? You should seriously listen to your voice on its own; it’s really the voice of a devil... If only you sang even one word in tune... ”

However, Lin Che looked at Yu Minmin. She truly saw for herself once again how exactly an impressive manager operated.

Sure enough, there was a correlation between having a good team and an impressive manager.

And Yu Minmin really was a highly capable manager.

Lin Che thought to herself, It was such a pity that she was so capable but still lived so arduously.
