Lin Muchen watched Yang Weiyang with an amused, spectating expression.
"So you like him?"
Yang Weiyang shook her head frantically.
She denied it repeatedly.
"No... no."
Her voice immediately became much more subdued, and then she mumbled sulkily.
"No way. I don't like... I don't like him. Besides, I'm focused on my career... Relationships will only slow down my filming progress. I'm not filming any sweet romance dramas right now that require inspiration, so I wouldn't date that idiot Fei Siyu!"
Hearing Yang Weiyang say this, Lin Muchen
suddenly burst out laughing.
"So—your point is."
"If you were filming a sweet romance drama, you would get together with Fei Siyu?"
"Is that right?"
Yang Weiyang wanted to nod, but after a moment's hesitation, she said sullenly.
"Not necessarily."
"He's just a straight guy who only plays games, it's hard to get any sweet romantic experience from him, right?"
Lin Muchen chuckled softly.
Her tone was very gentle.
"That might not be the case. Doesn't he also stand up for you in his own way? At least that proves he's not as hopelessly straight as you think."
Yang Weiyang looked troubled.
"Let's talk about it later."
Despite saying she'd talk about it later, she honestly went and liked Fei Siyu's post!
The fans immediately erupted.
After going on the dating show, Yang Weiyang and Fei Siyu had no interaction, and the fans worried that this pair was doomed, as they hadn't spent much time together. They hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise.
It seemed.
This pair... had hope?
The fans were already looking forward to a new CP to ship.
Unexpectedly.
A piece of gossip suddenly stirred up new waves of controversy.
...
When Lin Muchen saw the exposé, she frowned.
"Revealing the past of Heavenly King Superstar Ling Qianhe. Street thug? Orphanage orphan? Once fought for his older sister at the orphanage, the Ling Qianhe you never knew!"
There were even photos below.
The photo quality was quite blurry, as it was taken several years ago. However, in the photo, Ling Qianhe's appearance from five or six years ago was clearly discernible.
On a worn-out street, outside a dilapidated orphanage, a boy with untamable wildness, bloodstains on his cheek, and a stack of bricks in his hand.
The aura of a defiant, mischievous devil king was immediately evident.
His school uniform was worn askew.
Buzz cut.
The sinister glint in his eyes was enough to make one's heart pound at a glance.
This formed a stark contrast with the elegant, aristocratic demeanor and noble aura of his younger self, Brother Qianhe, displayed on screen today!
The fans exclaimed one after another.
【Can you reporters expose reliable information?】
【Could this be Qianhe? So fierce and uninhibited, such a little hoodlum? Everyone knows Qianhe is a quality idol.】
【This is probably a photo from filming a movie or TV show, and you're using it to fool people, right?】
The fans didn't believe it at all!
Not only did the fans disbelieve it, but they also felt that the source was fabricating and faking, deliberately trying to provoke them.
【I dare say, this is definitely from a shoot.】
【How could he possibly reveal such an expression himself?】
The reporter who had finally dug up this scoop was so furious upon seeing the online feedback that he felt like spitting blood.
Was Ling Qianhe's reputation really that good?
His fans were completely unwilling to believe it?
The reporter felt like he was going insane.
"How could this be..."
He frantically called Madam Ling, who had provided him with the photo, and the reporter said cautiously.
"Um—Madam Ling, look—"
He sighed.
"Madam Ling... the audience outside doesn't believe it!"
The woman on the other end of the phone was so angry she wanted to curse.
"A bunch of brainless fans, the evidence is right in front of them, and they still don't believe it? A bunch of idiots, scoundrels—"
Madam Ling took a deep breath. She appeared extremely angry, but despite her rage, after taking a deep breath, she managed to suppress these emotions.
"It's fine. It doesn't matter if the fans don't believe it, because I have more photos, which means more evidence, and I can prove it completely."
She took a deep breath, her tone utterly cold.
"I can prove it completely."
"Ling Qianhe, he is completely... a person who is extremely vile. He doesn't deserve to be an idol to so many people."
...
More photos were released. The fans had previously been absolutely convinced that this was definitely a movie still, and they even thought the getup of this ruffian hoodlum was incredibly cool.
Even with such simple and rough clothing.
It couldn't hide his exceptionally beautiful face.
He was simply exquisitely handsome.
It was the kind of look where, no matter how harsh the environment he was placed in, he seemed to radiate light on his own! Making the fans' hearts surge with excitement.
But then new photos and revelations were released one after another.
【What are you guys even a fan of him for? His persona is all fake. He's not a rich heir at all, but an illegitimate child. He lost his mother at a young age and grew up in an orphanage, that's all true.】
【When he was little, he used to fight and was stubborn enough to beat people until they bled. Why don't you believe it?】
【Think with your brains, is there anyone so perfect in the world? People in the entertainment industry can't be perfect. All of this is just a persona, an illusion, just a mirage!】
And more photos were released.
His aura was indeed very cold.
Standing by the wall, his lips were curved with stubborn indifference.
He raised his head to look at the dappled sunlight on the wall.
But he stood in a dark corner.
It could be seen that he was not old then, only a boy of fourteen or fifteen, emanating gloominess. Despite possessing an incredibly beautiful face, when he looked at people, there was only endless indifference, an indifference as cold as ice and snow, capable of freezing one's soul completely.
His soul seemed to solidify.
The boy looked up, the expression in his eyes too cold.
The blood on his cheek
deepened this chilling, gloomy, and almost pathological feeling!
"He really isn't the kind of person you think he is."
"He's just been pretending all these years!"
Following these statements, a series of further revelations emerged online.
"He did stay at the orphanage... I don't know why no one ever mentioned it. He never interacted with anyone back then. Even when people thought he was handsome and wanted to talk to him, he wouldn't say a word."
"The only person he cared about was an older sister he met at the orphanage."
"Other than that, he was simply an emotionless, cold monster!"
The fans were greatly shocked.
What?
Could it be that Brother Qianhe really was like this in the past?
