Love Me Or Leave Me

CHAPTER 18

The live broadcast hadn’t started yet, but many viewers were already watching. In live Rooms One through Three, there were a few scattered comments, but live Rooms Four and Five were flooded with comments, covering the entire screen.

The main reason was that the hosts of these two rooms were not ordinary people. One was a top actress who had just given birth, and the other was a sharp–tongued top actor.

Between Room Four and Room Five, Room Five had more comments, and the reasons behind it were rather complicated.

First, Janet had taken a break for over half a year due to pregnancy and childbirth, causing some fans to lose interest. Naturally, her popularity couldn’t compare to Charlie, who had remained active in the entertainment industry.

Second, Charlie had created a buzz before the show started by choosing a fan via an official Twitter selection to join him on the show. As a result, his live room was filled not only with his fans but also with curious onlookers who had seen the trending news.

At that moment, whether they were his long–time fans or the curious onlookers, everyone was eager to know what kind of fan had won the raffle.

Who was it? How could they be so lucky to join the top actor, Charlie, in a reality show?

The mysterious silhouette in Room Five kept everyone on the edge of their seats, making them extremely curious and cager to find out.

[I’m rooting for Chuck! You can do it, Chuck!]

[I’m curious to see what the fan Chuck picked looks like.]

[I heard it’s a girl!]

[Ugh, I’m so frustrated! I even prayed before the raffle! Why didn’t luck favor me?]

(Chuck is so sweet to his fans, love him!]

But while some were curious, others, particularly Janet’s fans, were upset.

The top actor and actress were supposed to be on equal footing, yet Charlie had stirred things up before the show by bringing a fan instead of a family member, which had surprisingly boosted his online buzz over Janet.

Janet’s fans felt it was unfair. They suspected that the show was deliberately favoring Charlie at Janet’s expense..

Therefore, quite a few of her fans were also in Room Five, making snarky comments and criticizing.

[Charlie is disgusting. If he doesn’t have family, he shouldn’t join this show. What’s the deal with picking a fan? Are fans his family?]

[Everyone else brought family members, but he had to be different. Another day of being grossed out by Charlie, ugh!]

[I really don’t get the director’s logic now. There’s no principle at all. The show’s name clearly states family, but they allowed Charlie to bring a fan. It’s sickening!]

Janet’s fans were being quite harsh, and when Charlie’s fans saw it, they weren’t happy and immediately argued back.

[Who says fans aren’t family? We and Chuck are like family!]

[I bet those are Janet’s fans. Maybe their idol doesn’t consider them family, so they’re here in Chuck’s live room to bark?]

[Ha! You’re good with words. Keep it coming. I love this!]

[It’s hilarious. Some people’s idols don’t treat them like family, so they come to Chuck’s stream to bark, woof wool!]

Meanwhile, Charlie and Rebecca walked out from the airport and were immediately met with the show’s crew, who were waiting at the entrance. The live broadcast cameras were also instantly pointed at them.

Rebecca instantly felt nervous.

Charlie ruffled Rebecca’s hair and reassured her, “It’s okay. There’s no need to be scared.”

Immediately after, he led Rebecca toward the livestream camera.

When Charlie got in front of the camera, he skillfully smiled and greeted the viewers, “Hello everyone, I’m Charlie, and this is my fan Becky!”

With that, he turned to Rebecca with a smile and said, “Say hi to everyone, Becky. It’s really easy. Don’t worry. I’ll protect you.”

At that moment, Room Five’s comment section was flooded, and all the viewers who had been waiting went wild.

[Ahhhh, my Chuck is here! Chuck is here!]

[Wow, the lucky fan is gorgeous. Are we sure she’s just a fan and not an idol or celebrity?]

[I’m screenshotting this. Isn’t Chuck’s fan way prettier than that over–praised actress from the other room?]

[She really is beautiful. I was stunned. I thought Chuck finally started dating!]

[Such a good–looking pair. The fan is as attractive as Chuck. They look amazing together!]

[Is it just me, or does anyone else also think Becky and Chuck look a bit alike? They could be siblings!]

[This is what a true fan looks like!]

[Did you all notice how much Chuck dotes on Becky? He calls her so affectionately, reassures her not to be scared, and promises to protect her!]

[He’s truly doting. I wish Chuck would call me that affectionately, too! I want Chuck to reassure me and say he’ll protect me too!]

[I’m secretly recording this. I’ll save Chuck’s voice and listen to it later. That way, it will feel like Chuck is calling me affectionately, comforting me, and telling me he’ll protect me!]

Rebecca moved closer to the livestream camera and accidentally saw the comments on the side that the viewers

had made about them, and for a moment, her heart started to beat faster.

Thankfully, she only panicked for a moment before calming down. Rebecca smiled at the camera and greeted everyone in the best way she could, “Hello everyone, I’m Becky, Chuck’s fan. I’m so happy to be chosen to join this

show with Chuck.”

Once Rebecca finished introducing herself, she breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like she had narrowly escaped a

disaster. She had been so tense before.

Yet, it only lasted for a moment because the next second, Charlie gently patted her head.

“Great job, keep it up. No need to be nervous.” He encouraged Rebecca.

Rebecca turned to look at Charlie and couldn’t help but smile warmly.

The number of viewers in live Room Five was rapidly increasing. In just a few minutes, it had jumped from about

twenty thousands to nearly eighty thousand.

The comments were also flooding in more than before, with many excited messages.

[I was just a few seconds late. What did I miss? Why is Chuck looking at this beauty so tenderly? Is Chuck dating? Is she his girlfriend?]

[Ahhhh! Chuck is so sweet to Becky. I’m so jealous! How I wish I were the chosen fan!] Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

[Becky is so shy and adorable. I’ve started to like her already in just a few minutes! What should I do?]

[I’m a fan of good looks. I think this show is worth watching. Charlie and Becky are so good–looking. I love it!]

Meanwhile, Janet was still at the airport, deliberately dawdling as she watched the livestream on her p phone.

Rooms One to Three were quite ordinary and uninteresting. The most interesting one was Room Five, which she

was currently watching.

The moment Rebecca and Charlie appeared together, Janet’s hand that was holding the phone froze, and her

mind went blank. She stared at her phone, more precisely at Rebecca and Charlie in the livestream, feeling like

was all an illusion.
