Ting Yu forwarded the video about the teacher in the mountainous area.
Instantly, the video was propelled to the trending list.
Many of Ting Yu's fans were happy for the children in the mountains, and when they learned that Ting Yu would write a song for this teacher, they felt a sense of pride.
"Perhaps this is why Ting Yu has such a good reputation; he's always so positive."
"Although Ting Yu is known as a 'depressing' producer, most of his songs are positive!"
"I feel like being his fan means I don't have to do anything, just listen to his music."
"Damn it, it's not that I'm getting ahead of myself, but this really makes me proud!"
"Looking forward to Ting Yu's new song in this episode of King of Songs!"
As a fan of Ting Yu, it was indeed very comfortable. Unlike fans of other idols, they didn't have to worry about their idol's downfall, nor did they have to vote for them or refute scandals.
It wasn't that there weren't paparazzi staking him out. After all, if they managed to snap photos of Ting Yu dating another woman, it would definitely go viral.
This was evident from the Qin Xiaorou incident before, which was a major event in the entertainment industry at the time.
However, now Su Yu seemed inseparable from Lin Yanyu, often appearing in various places together. Forget about dating other women; he rarely even met with other women alone. He was definitely an exemplary boyfriend in the entertainment industry, no, an exemplary husband, since the proposal was successful.
Not only that, but many people also noticed that Ting Yu didn't even frequent entertainment venues. At most, he would eat at the catering shops of the singer groups, and there were no photos of him going to bars.
Over time, the paparazzi became disinterested.
Exposing the 'Yan Yu CP' (couple) showing affection?
These two sometimes didn't even wear masks when they went out, and their figures were often seen in public. Fans in Shuangqing City were particularly accustomed to it. They would just greet them casually when they saw them, as if they were ordinary people.
Fans in other cities might ask for a photo. In any case, Ting Yu's fans were different from other popular idols. The relationship between them and Ting Yu was not that of an idol and fan, but more like a friendly interaction. Da Feng Novel Network.
So, even if these photos were exposed, people would comment, "Oh, it's them, never mind."
"Burp... That's it?"
"The perspective isn't good, I have close-up shots, do you want them?"
"Haha, I even have selfies with them, should I post them?"
"As a Shuangqing native, I just want to say that Ting Yu and Lin Yanyu live in Shuangqing like they aren't celebrities."
"Haha, I even have photos of them grocery shopping together."
In short, you could see the 'Yan Yu CP' anywhere.
The paparazzi might have captured less than what netizens had.
Under these circumstances, the paparazzi were effectively unemployed. It had been a long time since any paparazzi had staked out Su Yu. Instead of spending time capturing photos of them showing affection, it was better to stake out popular idols, as they might uncover some juicy gossip. Staking out Ting Yu was just a waste of time.
...
The volunteer teacher in Huayun Village attracted considerable attention, and these children in the mountains also garnered much attention.
In this world, there are many people who have been doing public welfare work with all their might.
Lin Shurui was one of them.
During her normal university studies, she had been a volunteer for various causes.
She also harbored a dream of becoming a volunteer teacher.
When she saw the video forwarded by her idol Ting Yu, she was deeply moved by the volunteer teacher in Huayun Village.
Perhaps it was a resonance, a resonance of how a minority understands life, and also a resonance of the meaning of life. Few people walked this path, but Lin Shurui knew she would be one of them.
She began contacting Huayun Village, inquiring about the situation. She learned that educational resources were still scarce. Originally, there were three teachers, but after Teacher Zheng Pingfang left, only two remained, and the children's classes were becoming problematic.
Upon hearing this news.
She had a plan in mind.
During dinner that evening.
Her parents prepared a table of home-cooked dishes.
The family ate while watching television.
The television was broadcasting the live stream of "The Masked Singer."
Lin Shurui also enjoyed listening to music and appreciated traditional culture. Generally, people who liked both of these would also like Ting Yu, as this was Ting Yu's signature.
Lin Shurui was no exception. She had always regarded Ting Yu as her idol, not just for his talent but more for his positive energy.
"Mom, I want to be a volunteer teacher," Lin Shurui suddenly said.
Her parents were taken aback.
Then her father frowned, "Those places are harsh and poor. It's not suitable for a young girl like you."
Places with scarce educational resources were naturally impoverished mountainous areas. Few people could adapt to the living conditions in these places, especially pampered girls.
"Mom and Dad still hope you can stay with us. Even finding a simple, ordinary job would be fine," her mother also persuaded.
"I've already contacted them. I'm just going to help out temporarily for about a year and then come back. They are in dire need of teachers now, and I'll go help teach the children first," Lin Shurui said with a smile after taking a bite of her food.
Her parents fell silent upon hearing this.
Lin Shurui continued to eat, glancing at the television from time to time.
The atmosphere in the room became a bit heavy.
Cheerful music suddenly played on the television.
The interview segment of "The Masked Singer" had ended, and the show had moved on to the new song segment!
"Hello, dear viewers, welcome to the eighth episode of 'The Masked Singer,' sponsored by Xiang Guo Wu Yu, Lei Bi beverages, Ba Wei Di Huang Pills... I am your host Lin Han. Are you ready for today's audio-visual feast!!"
Boom!
As soon as the host finished speaking, the live audience responded with enthusiastic cheers.
And in the live stream's bullet comments, viewers were typing in their favorite singers.
"Last episode was really close; Hua Lian Mao almost got eliminated, but luckily she successfully revived!"
"Zhan Ma was eliminated. Among the four major entertainment companies, An Ye Tu is now implicitly part of Huang Chao Entertainment. Only singers from Guang Nian Entertainment haven't appeared yet. I wonder if they will show up this episode."
"Sun Yang from Yi Hai Entertainment was eliminated for hiccuping, and Ma Xiang from Ding Sheng Entertainment, after being eliminated, refused to accept it and directly claimed Hua Lian Mao relied on sensual dancing to take shortcuts. But in the end, he apologized."
"Ma Xiang is truly embarrassing himself to the extreme. Hua Lian Mao is indeed a singer with a sexy dance style, but her singing skills are also on point, and her dancing naturally gives her an edge."
"I don't really care about the other singers. Last episode, Wu Mian Qi Shi clearly held back, conserving his strength. I hope he can make a comeback this episode, as I'm genuinely afraid he'll make a mistake and get eliminated."
"Come on, let's see who the victim is this episode!"
"Hahaha, finally someone brought up this meme. I thought you all forgot!"
"Speaking of An Ye Tu, will they use dialect this episode?"
"I heard rumors online that they won't this episode. And didn't Ting Yu forward that video about the volunteer teacher a couple of days ago? He also said he'd see them on 'The Masked Singer' this episode, so it's highly likely he'll sing a song praising teachers."
Amidst the discussions.
The draw for the first round had already concluded.
To everyone's surprise.
An Ye Tu was in the first round, and the very first one!
The draw results were:
1. An Ye Tu vs. Jing Ji.
2. Wu Mian Qi Shi vs. Hua Lian Mao.
3. Mi Lu vs. Lang Ya.
Not only that.
The two substitute singers collided in the first round!
