Chapter 77: Exclusive to Jinjiang 1/3

They left the live room after a while in the morning, completely unaware of what the audience had turned into.

  – If it weren’t true, I would stand on my head to wash my hair!

– First time seeing a CP name as “husband,” hahaha.

  – Bet a dollar; Zhang-Fu is the real deal!!

The all-knowing netizens compiled a timeline, starting from Octopus Teacher’s withdrawal from the circle all the way to this morning’s live broadcast.

Octopus Teacher withdrew from the circle due to marriage, remained low-key for a few months, and then the new cosplayer FuFu recreated Octopus Teacher’s cosplay works to celebrate Octopus Teacher’s birthday. The Octopus Teacher posted a photo of her holding hands with her husband to thank him for the gift. After being led by others, the Octopus Teacher personally intervened to protect FuFu. Then, both appeared in the live broadcast at the same time; even the lighting and shadows were similar, talking about their own husbands.

Contemporary netizens are experts at shipping CPs, digging into details to find sugar, and making wild speculations. They encounter something so real that they don’t even know where to start.

The most obvious clue is the part where the Octopus Teacher protected FuFu in the live broadcast. After all these years, Octopus Teacher has never spoken so passionately for anyone, and it’s a bit out of character.

So, FuFu is definitely someone important to Octopus Teacher; this conclusion is irrefutable.

But if people were wavering before, guessing whether FuFu is Octopus’s good friend or husband, then up to the live broadcast this morning, the answer is practically screaming out.

Octopus Teacher is not holding back at all!

Fans have nothing to say; they are just waiting to see how these two will showcase themselves in the live broadcast.

The car went directly to the private parking lot inside the venue. As they got off one car, they happened to encounter other guests getting off another car.

Fei Fei saw Song FuZhi and Shi Zhang, and he was stunned. “Gods have descended.”

Song FuZhi was the first to call out, “FeiFei?”

FeiFei’s makeup was done in a live broadcast, so Song FuZhi recognized him at a glance.

Called by his name, FeiFei came back to his senses and said, “Ah, it’s Teacher FuFu! Finally seeing the real person! So beautiful!”

He stretched his neck and waved, sounding more respectful. “This is Octopus Teacher, right? Octopus Teacher, it’s been so long! We used to work together; do you remember me?”

Shi Zhang nodded, smiling gently. “Hello, FeiFei.”

FeiFei immediately began showcasing his social skills, pointing to the friends beside him and introducing, “Let me introduce: this is HuYa, this is QiangWei, both are guests for this event. This is Teacher Dan, an artist; HuYa, his husband, the kind who has the certificate! Qi Chang, QiangWei’s husband, also the kind with a certificate—he’s the great designer who helps Teacher Fu with cos costumes!”

“Finally, this one—” FeiFei laughed until his eyes were almost closed. “Kai Ge, my boyfriend, is also an audience.”

“Ah, Teacher Qi.” Song FuZhi laughed suddenly. “Very impressive.”

Qi Chang waved his hand, smiling modestly, “Just doing what I’m paid for.”

Shi Zhang looked at Qi Chang faintly.

QiangWei was a generous female cosplayer, immediately greeting her with a smile. With just two or three sentences, she created a good atmosphere.

HuYa obviously didn’t like talking much. After they chatted for a while, he bowed to Shi Zhang and said, “Thank you, Octopus Teacher, for the wedding gift you and your husband gave us. We really like it; it’s very practical.”

Shi Zhang glanced at Song FuZhi and smiled at HuYa. “No need to thank us.”

FeiFei, this child, lacks a few wires, loves to talk, but doesn’t say much that hits the point.

He shook his body a couple of times and said, “Octopus Teacher and FuFu Teacher came in the same car! They are indeed good friends! Earlier, Octopus Teacher personally appeared on the internet; it was too cool.”

Song FuZhi made an “ah” sound, and Shi Zhang restrained himself, saying, “Hmm, good friends.”

Fei Fei looked like he still wanted to ask more but was pulled back by Qiang Wei.

Qiang Wei smiled and said, “Let’s go inside; the program is about to start.”

The group walked inside, and QiangWei couldn’t conceal the smile on her lips—the kind of expression when you’ve hit the jackpot.

She whispered to FeiFei, “Silly FeiFei, the two teachers came in the same car. If there’s something between them, they should tell everyone themselves later.”

FeiFei, being quite dull in matters of love, said, “Oh,” after a while, “Isn’t it just good friends who’ve known each other for a long time?”

Huya stifled a laugh. FeiFei was completely clueless in this aspect; he was used to it.

In the sea of dense barrage and the enthusiastic cheers of the audience below, the big screen suddenly lit up, and the live broadcast officially began.

  – Ahhh, I’m dying of waiting; it’s finally starting!!

  – This is Octopus Teacher’s first show since coming back; I wonder what character she’ll be! Wuuu.

  – Everyone is so looking forward to it!

The two hosts walked onto the stage, chatted for a bit, raised everyone’s expectations, and then announced, “Now, let’s invite the four special guests to take the stage and bring us a wonderful show!”

The four special guests are all top-notch cosplayers, and their appearance can easily ignite the atmosphere. Many audiences came just for them.

When the first guest teacher walked out, the whole venue was screaming, shouting her name.

The music, the lighting, the costumes—everything was perfectly matched, and her presence was naturally elegant.

Three big cosplayer shots appeared in a row, and the audience’s enthusiasm only increased. Just before Octopus Teacher was about to come out, the heated atmosphere reached its peak.

Before seeing the person, you could hear the voice.

The background music was classical and elegant—the sound of the ancient qin, like the chime of a jade ring.

This was quite different from the usual domineering feeling Octopus Teacher gave. It made everyone quiet down.

In a faint mist, a man in a light-patterned, wide-sleeved robe walked gracefully onto the stage, holding a white, folded fan. With broad shoulders and refined eyebrows, the golden corners of his eyes were lightly raised, full of classical Eastern charm, noble, and heroic.

The collision of his tall stature and the restrained fairy aura was quite magical. In short, it was quite different from the Octopus Teacher we were familiar with.

Ahhh, I almost didn’t recognize him!!

  – Is this Chinese classical mythology? Which immortal has descended into the mortal realm?!

– Clearly so divine, yet the aura is so commanding—what’s the reason? Too handsome; I’m dead.

The man walked towards the judges’ seat amidst clouds and sat down. The audience and barrage had been screaming the entire time.

When the cheers from the audience settled down, the host asked, “Octopus Teacher, what is your work today? It seems different from your previous style.”

Shi Zhang opened the microphone and said, “Dong Jun, the Sun God in Chinese mythology.”

“Wow, it’s so unique.” The host smiled and asked, “Octopus Teacher was known for a macho style before. This is your first work after coming back from retirement. Why did you change your style?”

Shi Zhang smiled faintly. “Actually, this isn’t my first work after coming back.”

-???

  – What do you mean, Octopus? Did you secretly cosplay something at home before this?

The host was caught off guard and subconsciously asked, “So you have other works? Can you reveal what they are?”

The set of wedding photos on the computer was already edited and quietly lying in a folder.

No, to be more precise, it should be the killer set for Song FuZhi’s birthday night, but that was a personal surprise exclusive to Teacher Song, and he didn’t plan to let the audience see it.
