He Jinran nodded with a shy smile.

Yu Qianxia's gaze briefly swept over He Jinran before quickly moving on.

Everyone brought the freshly picked peaches to the designated spot, where the villagers started packing and prepping for shipment.

After a whole morning of work, the guests were finally allowed to rest.

The rest area was a temporary canopy set up by the villagers, perfectly located to beat the heat. As soon as they sat down, a cool breeze blew through, easing the heat clinging to their bodies.

He Jinran grabbed a few bottles of mineral water from a box and passed them around.

The villagers also sent over two boxes of drinks and snacks. Ji Minghan opened the boxes and handed out the food. Everyone munched and chatted at the same time.

With the breeze blowing gently, everything felt relaxed and cozy.

Just then, a staff member suddenly walked in from outside the set and handed a phone to He Jinran.

He Jinran looked surprised and quickly asked, "What's going on?"

The staff hesitated, then said, "You should check it. Your manager's looking for you."

But the online audience had already caught wind of the news before He Jinran did.

Netizens who had seen the trending topic were spamming the live chat—

[Ahhh help! What the hell is going on?]

[He Jinran is done for! This kind of explosive news?! BOOM.]

[What's happening? What are you guys talking about? I don't get it.]

[If you haven't checked the trending tab yet, go now! Massive drama drop!]

[Whoa! I knew "My Journey" never disappoints—classic drama drop incoming! Gimme more!]

He Jinran took the phone and didn't avoid the camera. Right there in the livestream, he opened Weibo.

At that moment, the trending topic #HeJinranGirlfriendPregnant# was already marked "Explosive."

Two minutes earlier, an account named @MsYou had posted a Weibo claiming to be the girlfriend of actor He Jinran. In the post, she detailed how He Jinran had cheated and then ghosted her.

Attached were their chat logs and private photos of them in bed.

And the most damning evidence—a paternity test.

The result on the test showed a 99.99% match.

Viewers who finished reading the post immediately swarmed the comment section.

[HELP! He Jinran actually has a girlfriend? And they've done the grown-up stuff? BOOM.]

[OMG I'm losing it! I just became a fan and he's already canceled?!]

[No way! His girlfriend's pregnant? Someone tell me they used protection?!]

[His girlfriend's actually pretty cute, why would he cheat?]

[Too many red flags. I can't even process this.]

After going through the trending post, He Jinran frowned deeply and said, "I didn't... How could I possibly..."

"What's wrong? What happened?" Ji Minghan, who had a good impression of him, quickly asked with concern.

He Jinran didn't hold back and handed his phone straight to Ji Minghan.

Si Churao had already been dying of curiosity—there was no way she'd miss out on the gossip. She dragged a just-as-curious Ye Yanshuang over to check things out.

Aside from Yu Qianxia and Lin Yu, who wasn't interested, everyone else at the scene instinctively pulled out their phones, including Director Qian.

After going through the trending topic, the three of them all had the same subtle look on their faces. Doubt flickered in their eyes as they stared straight at He Jinran.

Surrounded by everyone's stares, He Jinran let out a bitter smile. "I swear to god, I don't even know this Ms. You. I have no idea why she's trying to set me up like this."

Si Churao pointed at the photos on the phone and questioned sharply, "You sure? Even private bed photos like this have been leaked, and you still want to deny it?"

He Jinran shook his head. "Photos can be photoshopped. I've never even been to that hotel."

Ji Minghan asked, "Then what about the chat logs? The paternity test too?"

"I'm not sure," He Jinran replied, frowning as he guessed, "But it's not impossible to fake chat logs, and if someone pulls strings at a private agency, a fake paternity test could happen too."

Ye Yanshuang looked at him, arms crossed, and said, "That's just your side of the story. Do you have any proof to back yourself up?"

At that moment, He Jinran turned to look at Yu Qianxia. Even in the face of such a massive scandal, she remained calm and composed. Suddenly, he said, "I can say for sure that I don't know this Ms. You, but I don't have the means right now to prove my innocence. Still, there's someone here who can."

Everyone followed his gaze—and saw Yu Qianxia.

The netizens caught on too.

[He Jinran, you're pretty clever, huh!]

[Calling in Yu Qianxia to clear your name? Smooth move!]

[LMAO of course it's gotta be my sister Yu! What now? I'm kinda hyped!]

[He Jinran's so calm... maybe he really is being framed. I need the truth! Sister Yu, do your thing!]

[Camping this drama, let's gooo!]

He Jinran walked up to Yu Qianxia. "Sister Yu, could I ask for your help?"

Yu Qianxia's lips curled slightly, her brows lifting just a bit. "You sure?"

Her voice was light, almost lazy, but it carried an unexpected edge of intimidation.

He Jinran's eyelid twitched—something felt off for a second—but he pushed it down and smiled faintly. "Everyone knows Sister Yu's exposés are always the real deal. You've got an elite detective team behind you. Having you help is a blessing."

Yu Qianxia let out a soft laugh. "Alright then. Since you insist, I'll gift you that blessing."

He Jinran paused, then laughed too. "Sister Yu, you're hilarious."

Yu Qianxia smiled again. "Didn't you say that paternity test was fake? Then let's collect fresh samples and send them for another test."

"Sounds good," He Jinran replied right away.

As he spoke, he plucked a strand of hair from his head and handed it to Yu Qianxia. She told a staff member to seal it in a plastic bag and take it down.

"Alright. I'll have my agent get in touch with Ms. You. Let's all wait for the new test results," Yu Qianxia declared decisively.

A flash of light passed through He Jinran's eyes, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly. "Thanks for your trouble, Sister Yu."

Yu Qianxia stared at him for a few seconds, then chuckled softly. "Don't mention it."

Si Churao subtly moved closer and lowered her voice. "What's the deal here?"
