Rings Exposed
The original poster probably saw the scene of Wen Le and Zhou Kao hugging and kissing at the door when Wen Le came out to send Zhou Kao off after her performance and directly took a sneak shot of it.
In the photo, Zhou Kao held Wen Le tightly in his arms, and the 18-centimetre height difference between the two made Wen Le look petite. The scene where Wen Le stood on tiptoes to accept Zhou Kao’s kiss was unexpectedly romantic, with the backlighting adding a touch of beauty, like a scene from an idol drama.
The poster arrived late at the New Year’s Eve party but unexpectedly encountered such a scene.
“It seemed like Zhou Kao was about to leave early, and Wen Le came out to send him off. They were being affectionate, hugging each other for a while, and even kissed before Zhou Kao left. After Zhou Kao got into the car, Wen Le stood there waiting until the car disappeared before returning to the theatre.
Oh my god, I’m going to be overwhelmed by their sweetness. The couple that everyone shipped has actually become a reality! They are sooooo sweet! Damn! I mean, seriously, the explosion of their godly looks… Their children would be so beautiful???

The evening was the most active time for gossip-loving netizens. Upon hearing the gossip, they almost instinctively gathered their friends to join in.
The post quickly rose to the top of the hot list, along with the poll that was posted at the same time.
#Exposing those flowers and grasses* who couldn’t get into a relationship during their four years of university.
*flowers and grasses is Chinese slang for the prettiest girl and most handsome guy in whatever school setting they’re in
And the first and second places in the poll were Zhou Kao and Wen Le.
The story’s progression was so surreal that initially, the first reaction of netizens to the post was disbelief. Is the OP just seeking attention by fabricating this?
Even the first two pages of replies were questioning the authenticity of the news. Even when the OP posted the kissing photo of the two, some still doubted its authenticity.
But as more and more photos were posted by the OP, the netizens were left dumbfounded by the reality.
67th comment: WTF!
68th comment: WTF!
69th comment: It hurts… Weren’t these two at odds with each other?
70th comment: Hahaha, their gossip is always juicy and delicious.
71st comment: Ahhh! They are really together!!! Mom, the couple I shipped has actually come true!
72nd comment: Love-hate relationship…
73rd comment: The entertainment circle is really chaotic. Didn’t these two just have a fight and get on the hot list a while ago? Did I remember wrongly? And now they’re together?
So the post about the two initially fighting was bumped up again.
That night, the top hot posts were all about the deeds of Wen Le and Zhou Kao. From how they creatively rejected suitors to speculations about whether they had some unknown emotional trauma or sexual orientation issues, to their fight and subsequent reconciliation, to the netizens betting on which of the two was least likely to get into a relationship, and so on.
Only upon going down this memory lane did the netizens realise that there were actually so many incidents involving the two. And among these nostalgic posts, one post unexpectedly stood out, hanging in the top five of the hottest posts.
#Today is definitely one of the most magical days ever.
Clicking into the thread, it was full of complaints, as if the idea of the two being together was something hard to accept.
The BBS forum buzzed for most of the night, with discussions about the two still showing no signs of stopping after the New Year’s Eve party ended. Since it was late after the New Year’s Eve party, Wen Le didn’t go home but rested directly in the dormitory. Coming out of the shower, Wen Le heard laughter in the dormitory and asked in confusion, “What’s going on?”
Cheng Hui said, “Your relationship has been exposed.”
“Come here, let me show you, they were absolutely shocked.”
Cheng Hui flipped through her phone to show Wen Le, “Look, the first few pages are full of your glorious deeds. You two are indeed the top players on the BBS, hahaha!”
“Hahaha, look at this, it’s interesting. Some gossipers have started a new post, and they actually crowned you and Zhou Kao as the most diligent gossip farmers of the year. The evaluation says that you two are diligent in producing gossip, and the gossip is both big and delicious. It has been rated as conscientious gossip farmers, and this post is specially issued as encouragement.”
Wen Le laughed uncontrollably, “What kind of nonsense is this?”
After joking for a while, Wen Le remembered something and asked, “How’s the online comment section?”
Cheng Hui hesitated, glanced at Wen Le, and sneakily assessed Wen Le’s expression, seeming to hesitate whether to speak or not.
Seeing Cheng Hui’s hesitation, Wen Le said, “It’s okay, I almost expected what their reaction would be. Just tell me the truth.”
Cheng Hui honestly said, “With so many suitors pursuing you and Zhou Kao, there are definitely many people who can’t accept it. That’s not a big deal. The main thing is that you two just had a fight. Your fans scolded Zhou Kao for being a scumbag who hits women, and Zhou Kao’s fans scolded you, saying you’re a fierce old lady. Both sides were cursing fiercely, but then you two suddenly got together. So they feel like you’re deceiving them, playing with them, and now they’re turning around to curse you guys. But there are very few people like that, so you don’t need to worry about it.”
Wen Le shrugged, “I’m not worried. And I almost expected it. They would know sooner or later. Give them time to digest it, and if they can’t digest it, there’s nothing I can do.”
Cheng Hui patted Wen Le’s shoulder, “Your attitude is pretty good.”
Wen Le smiled and said, “Just put yourself in my shoes. I’ve just become rich, and I have such a boyfriend. What else do I have to worry about?”
Cheng Hui sighed, kicked Wen Le, and said, “Get out of here.”
Wen Le laughed and ran away.
After the post exposing the two being together fermented for a while, some people began to think it over. Perhaps after accepting the idea of the two being together, they looked back at the photos of the two reconciling and shaking hands, and realised something was off.
Why did the two shake hands and make peace on the school confession wall? And why did they interlock their fingers when shaking hands? Wasn’t a simple handshake enough?
Following this thread of clues, finally something seemed off.
Although the news of Zhou Kao and Wen Le being together was only exposed today, it’s unclear when they actually got together. Generally, the exposure today definitely didn’t mean they got together today.
So, their relationship must have started earlier.
Following the timeline of posts on the BBS, the previous hot post was about them shaking hands and making peace. Assuming they were already together at that time, a question arose: why was the reconciliation post made on the confession wall, why were their fingers interlocked, why were they smiling so brightly?
Although it’s still unclear why they fought in the first place, the interlocked fingers and the confession wall post didn’t seem to make sense. The more one thought about it, the more logical it seemed that their deduction was correct.
This wasn’t just a reconciliation; it was clearly a public announcement of their love!
They had already announced their relationship so early! Poor gossipers were still in the dark, not realising they had been discreetly showing affection. Now, realising it, they were being fed a mouthful of dog food.
So, some people began to scrutinise the handshake reconciliation on the confession wall and gave reasonable guesses about the couple’s behaviour at the time.
…
Based on the reasonable analysis above, I believe the two were already together at the time. But why they fought remains a mystery.
1l: Damn, that makes sense.
2l: This dog food is a bit too much…
3l: This is the pinnacle of public display of affection. You show it, and others don’t even realise it. But when they finally do, they’re almost choked to death by it. Burp~
4l: So, actually, when they fought at first, it was just a lover’s quarrel, right? Then they… it’s domestic violence, isn’t it? I have to say, it’s fortunate they’re together now. Otherwise, who could stand their fights? With Wen Le throwing fists like that, can any guy handle it? Too fierce…
5l: Oh my gosh! That makes so much sense. I just went to look at the photo of them shaking hands and making peace. They were both smiling exceptionally brightly, and they both had a ring on their hands. Some people used to mock them for wearing rings to a martial arts gym, saying it wasn’t professional, but now I think they might have done it intentionally. But these two rings don’t look the same, not like couple rings. Could there be some other meaning behind them?
6l: Oh my gosh! After what the person above said, I just realised they were really wearing rings at the time, and they were both on the hand where their fingers were interlocked. Oh my gosh, there must be a story behind this.
7l: Shocking! Calling all experts to investigate!
8l: Seconded!
The moment this post came out, it instantly became a top-hot post, attracting countless onlookers.
But no one in the thread had managed to figure out the origin of those two rings. Until a new post emerged.
#Here’s the scoop on the Zhou Kao and Wen Le rings you’ve been asking for, come check it out.
The rings are the pride and joy of the chief designer of a small Swedish jewelry brand, priced at $99,999.
That’s right, the ring on Zhou Kao’s hand and the one on Wen Le’s hand can be put together to form a whole, meaning they are a pair of couple rings.
When the two rings are put together, they look like this. [Image]
And here’s how they look when worn separately by models. [Image] Are they identical?
The most important thing is:
The reason why this ring is so expensive is that all the diamonds on Wen Le’s ring are real. The most expensive part of this ring is the women’s ring, while the men’s ring is just a regular platinum ring.
The unique thing about this ring is that out of the $99,999, probably the hundreds of thousands of RMB was just spent on the women’s ring, while the men’s ring probably only cost a five-figure sum for design and craftsmanship.
[The most expensive part is for you]
So the most romantic aspect of this ring is its meaning: you are where my soul and radiance reside. Isn’t that super romantic?
So when the gossipers clicked on this post, all they could see were a bunch of groundhogs squealing below.
Similar to these:
Ahhhhhh! I’m dead!
Ahhhhhh! Zhou Kao is too amazing!
Ahhhhhh! The world owes me a Zhou Kao!
I’ll be damned to death!
TN: Time to pass this chapter on to my boyfriend and hope he gets the memo too 😂
