"I just..." Song Xici clutched the spicy braised dish tightly, her eyes darting around as she frantically searched for an excuse to justify herself. "I just wanted to see how... inappropriate it was for you to look at. And the result is... it's really not suitable for us to view. So in the future, we absolutely must not look at such things."
After finishing, Song Xici saw that Tang You’an was still motionless, staring at her with an expression that said "What on earth are you talking about?" So she continued: "Oh my, look, look at how much I worry about you. I was willing to risk... not danger, but risk to my eyes. I nearly went blind looking at it. Do you understand my good intentions?"
"Is that so?" Tang You’an let out a long breath.
"Of course it is. Why would I lie to you? What benefit would I get from lying?" Song Xici said this, but her face was as red as if she had drunk a bucket of chili oil.
After hearing this, although Tang You’an found her reaction strangely fascinating, she decided to just nod and accept what Song Xici said.
Afterwards, Song Xici hurriedly found an orange stool next to a pillar and sat down. She took out her phone and anxiously logged into Weibo, frowning as she checked the details.
Sure enough, it showed that she had liked soone's post at 8:20 in the morning. Her cheeks instantly turned red as tomatoes, and Song Xici hurriedly unliked the post.
But it felt like it was already too late...
At that mont, her comnt section had exploded like fireworks. Every minute, nurous people ca to observe, then liked and comnted on her latest post from the day before, which read: "I feel so happy every day when I wake up. I hope you all are happy too!"
Top comnt: "So that's what you ant. It seems you're indeed very 'happy' every day! [dog face]"
Second top comnt: "So, were you 'happy' last night too?"
Third top comnt: "Have you finally admitted to being the bottom? [funny face]"
"Sister, work hard to be 'happy' tonight too!"
...
It was too much, filled with suggestive content, unbearable to look at.
Song Xici stared at those comnts, feeling the urge to kick her own head into the earth's core.
Then, she quickly typed and posted on Weibo: "Does anyone want to hear my explanation? It's not like that! You know, sotis when browsing Weibo, your hand might accidentally touch a certain spot in the bottom right corner (frantically gesturing)"
Within seconds, Song Xici fell into despair.
"We won't listen to your nonsense!"
"Explaining equals covering up [dog face]"
"By the way, it's too late to unlike now, haha!"
...
So, Song Xici posted another Weibo with just one emoticon: "Goodbye world.jpg"
After posting, Song Xici's eyes went blank and her expression froze. She really wanted to bang her head against the nearby pillar and end it all.
Although Song Xici had already unliked the post, and not long after, that article was also censored, the heat of this incident continued to climb.
Soon after, Song Xici's WeChat group was bombarded with ssages from ng ng.
ng ng: "Hahahahaha!"
ng ng: "I heard you liked a steamy fanfic about you and Tang You’an?!"
Song Xici: "..."
ng ng: "And it was written quite wild and uninhibited!!!"
Song Xici: "..."
ng ng: "And you were the one being pressed down! Hahaha [loud laughter.jpg]"
Song Xici: "Sister, are you trying to stir up trouble? Let's block each other. Contact
by ssage in a bottle if anything cos up. Manually saying goodbye.jpg"
Zhou Yi: "..."
Song Xici glanced at her phone, then continued leaning against the large pillar nearby, looking utterly dejected. She regretted it. She shouldn't have posted on Weibo. She was too flustered. She should have just quietly unliked the post. After posting, the heat beca even more intense, skyrocketing as if riding a rocket.
Many latecors to the drama began frantically searching for that article. Under the comnts of various marketing accounts, people could be seen asking, "Who has the resources? Where can we read that article?"
"Xici, are you alright?" Tang You’an turned her head to look at her and asked.
Song Xici shook her head: "Little An..."
"Yes?"
"You might as well start preparing my funeral..."
Hearing this, Tang You’an imdiately raised her hands in an exaggerated gesture: "Xici, don't go!"
Song Xici heard this and turned to look at her, wanting to speak but stopping herself. Then she looked away, wanting to speak again but holding back. She organized her thoughts, looked back at Tang You’an, pondered, and forgot what she was going to say.
At this mont, two girls walked by arm in arm.
Girl A: "Gosh, did you hear about that thing on Weibo? Song Xici was caught secretly reading steamy fanfiction about herself and her wife!"
Girl B: "I haven't seen it yet."
Girl A handed over her phone: "Here, take a look."
Girl B: "Hahahahahaha, how stupid!!!"
"Let's go buy sothing to drink and head ho." Hearing this, Song Xici's face was covered in black lines as she turned to Tang You’an and said.
"Okay." Tang You’an nodded.
So, they both pulled up their masks and lowered their hats as they went to a milk tea shop.
"One Four Seasons Spring, please." Song Xici said in an intentionally low voice, as if she had a voice changer in her throat.
"One All Things Revive, please." Tang You’an quickly ordered as well.
"Alright, please wait a mont." The milk tea shop girl smiled with her eyes curved.
Song Xici stood there, occasionally glancing around. When she saw soone buried in their phone, she would wonder what they were looking at, and if they were paying attention to her ssy situation.
After a while, the milk tea was ready, and the girl asked again: "Ladies, would you like to drink now or take it to go?"
"To go." Song Xici continued to speak in a low voice.
"Alright," the girl continued smiling, turned around to fiddle for a bit, then put them in bags with straws, "Here you go, please walk carefully."
"Thank you." Song Xici took the drinks and walked out of the mall with Tang You’an.
It wasn't until they sat in the car that Song Xici finally let out a sigh of relief.
Tang You’an sat beside her, only able to pat her shoulder in encouragent.
"Talk about bad luck..." Song Xici said as she took out the milk tea to drink. Just as she took it out, she suddenly noticed a note placed next to it.
Song Xici was stunned for a mont, then brought the note up to her eyes.
On it was written: "Wishing you a successful counterattack soon! ^_^"
"..." Song Xici closed her eyes.
anwhile, on the other side, when Liao Bixin on the film set heard about Song Xici's accidental like, she imdiately opened Weibo.
As an old hand who had been in the entertainnt industry for many years, after reading it, Liao Bixin rolled her eyes, holding her phone and coldly laughing: "Are these idiots blind? They can't even see that this is obviously hype."
It was clear before that those two had no love between them, and now suddenly they're so close? How could that be possible if it wasn't deliberate hype?!
She didn't like Song Xici and always wanted to outdo her for a reason. After all, when she and Song Xici hadn't signed with big companies, they belonged to the sa agency, and then went to the sa crew for auditions.
But when Song Xici went, although she didn't get the lead role, she got a very good supporting role with many cute settings, imdiately winning the audience's favor. Liao Bixin, on the other hand, didn't even get the role of the evil female supporting character, just playing a minor background role.
After the audition, Liao Bixin heard that Song Xici actually ca from a wealthy family, and imdiately assud that she must have bought the role with money. This made her extrely unhappy, as she didn't think her acting skills were inferior to Song Xici's.
Later, when the TV series aired, Song Xici's character even overshadowed the female lead, with the whole internet praising her and saying they preferred her to the lead. At that ti, both Liao Bixin and the female lead had issues with her, feeling that Song Xici was too calculating, hiring people to post announcents criticizing the female lead and maliciously hyping herself up right after her debut, which was shaless.
As ti went on, Song Xici beca more and more successful. Although not considered top-tier, she was one of the popular young actresses with quite a large following. There were always nurous accounts praising her professionalism and ability to endure hardships, and news about Song Xici's early struggles could be seen everywhere. To Liao Bixin, this seed incredibly fake and over-the-top.
Therefore, Liao Bixin had always looked down on Song Xici, thinking she was like Yue Buqun from the real world—hypocritical, pretentious, and cunning.
However, heaven has eyes. Later, after Song Xici got married, her ship sank. Her adorable wife Tang You’an was always causing trouble every day, exhausting all the goodwill from the public. Then, a drama Song Xici starred in flopped, and people got tired of her always playing good girl roles, feeling there was no breakthrough. Her popularity began to decline.
What goes around cos around. Watching Song Xici gradually slide down, finally becoming a minor character in the TV series she starred in, Liao Bixin felt nothing but joy.
But now, seeing that Song Xici was about to make a big move, mobilizing Tang You’an to start a new career in hype, with a trend of potentially snatching her variety show, Liao Bixin was really unhappy.
"The public is just like that," At this ti, Liao Bixin's manager said beside her, "However, at first, the public is just curious about sothing new and will cooperate with their performance. But if they keep overdoing it like this, who knows, they might end up burning out."
"I can't wait for them to burn out... What about that variety show after the New Year?" Liao Bixin turned her head to look at her manager.
"Well..." The manager thought for a mont, "It's not settled yet. They said our price per episode is too high."
"The price is too high?" Liao Bixin laughed,
