Next One Is a Babe
Chapter 1874

The girl's boyfriend seemed a little reluctant to move forward, but when he did, he grumbled, "You can't just go around spooking people like that, you know. You basically stalked them all this way and ran up to them out of nowhere."

The girl burst out laughing. "I was just surprised and maybe a little too enthusiastic!"

As things were, lan had nowhere to hide, and he could only stand to the side as he assessed the girl and her boyfriend.

In the end, the girl didn't want anything other than a picture with lan and Cindy, and she never intended to interrupt their date in the first place.

Since taking a picture together was a simple enough task, Cindy was the first to take off her mask. Then, she patted lan's arm and urged, "Hey, come over here and stand on this side."

Having heard this, lan took off his mask and did as he was told. The girl and her boyfriend walked over and stood next to them.

Following that, the girl managed to have one of the staff members patrolling the area take several pictures of them.

Cindy and lan were patient with her, and they even agreed to switch up their poses and backdrops. When the girl finally had her phone back, she scrolled through the photos, seemingly happy with how they had turned out.

Since none of them had any pen or paper, an autograph would be out of the question. In the end, the girl thanked Cindy and lan profusely.

Cindy maintained a pleasant facade as she quipped, "No, we should be the ones thanking you for liking us so much."

The girl linked arms with her boyfriend and waved Cindy and lan goodbye after that, then left the area. It was only then that lan let out a quiet breath of relief.

He had never interacted with his fans so closely before in all the time that he had been a celebrity; he was not particularly outspoken, and to face such an enthusiastic fan without prior warning caught him off guard. If Cindy hadn't been next to him to ease over the conversation, he might have ended up acting stiff and awkward.

They were holding hands and headed for the games in the corner when Cindy suddenly pointed out wistfully, "If only all your fans were like that, then we wouldn't have to fear running into them when we go out in public; we might even have a friendly conversation."

Not only would they be able to let down their guard, but they could also even dodge a scandal or two if the fans were as reasonable and bubbly as the girl earlier. At least she didn't look like she would start a riot on the internet against them.

If fans could have their heads screwed on tight before they dived into a world of keeping up with celebrities, then the entertainment industry would be a peaceful community devoid of vicious rumors and groundbreaking scandals.

Upon discussing this, Cindy and lan could only chalk up such a phenomenon as a product of the fans' environment. It wasn't something that they could change with just a few sage words.

Presently, they circled the amusement park once more, but perhaps age really was catching up with her, because Cindy didn't find any of the games or rides particularly attractive.

They bought some snacks in the park and found a bench to sit on and catch their breaths.

She turned to lean her back against lan's arm, then opened up a packet of chips. She took a few of them before feeding a piece or two to him.

Meanwhile, he fished his phone out of his pocket, intending to call Aurora and ask if she had any plans for the evening. If she was free, he would like her to join them for supper. However, as soon as he clicked on his phone, he saw the notification that recommended him the latest headline news.

He glanced at it for a second, then froze because the keyword of the headline happened to be his name.

He frowned as he clicked on the headline news. Oh, great, he grumbled in thought. The fan from earlier had posted their pictures on social media and bragged to her friends about how she had run into lan at the amusement park. It didn't take long for someone to spread the word to the press after that.

That being said, the news was not surprising on its own, but Cindy's presence before the camera and her sweet interaction with lan pushed the fans into a frenzy.

When the Morgan Family had gone through tough times, Cindy stayed by lan's side as an unwavering companion, and her reputation among his fans grew increasingly favorable.

To say that the fans were relieved to see her and lan being all lovey-dovey was an understatement. As far as the fans were concerned, Cindy had been with lan through thick and thin; she never left him at his worst, and she had been there to celebrate all his glorious moments.

While there were fans who were so blindly obsessed over celebrities to the point where they developed a dangerous sense of possessiveness, a larger part of lan's fandom was still made up of rational folks.
