The glow was gone.
Qin Xiaorou immediately panicked.
She searched all over the room, even checking the corners under the bed and in the cabinets, but still couldn't find any trace of it.
When the two arrived at the living room,
they found that the main door was not fully closed, but ajar.
"Did the cleaning staff leave the door ajar just now?"
Qin Xiaorou frowned.
"Sister, what should we do now? Guanghui must have run out. This hotel is so big, and it's so small. We'll never find it." Qin Xiaorou grabbed her arm, her eyes instantly reddening, and tears began to fall in large drops.
Although Guanghui was a stray, she had always considered it a gift from Su Yu.
It was a companion.
After two days of getting along, she had already developed feelings for the clingy Guanghui.
"Don't worry, I'll go find it," Qin Xiaorou quickly soothed her sister's emotions.
"I'll go too!" Qin Xiaorou prepared to change her clothes.
She hadn't left the room for the past two days and had been wearing pajamas.
"You shouldn't go out yet. There are paparazzi everywhere. I'll have the hotel check the surveillance and then ask them to search. Don't worry, we'll find it," Qin Xiaorou said gently.
This matter would be resolved soon. If Qin Xiaorou went out now, and some extremist did something, it would be bad.
It was better to contact the hotel and have them help with the search.
"Okay, Sister, call me when you find it." Qin Xiaorou thought about it and agreed. The hotel's search efficiency would be much higher than her own.
"Alright, I'm going now. Guanghui should still be in the hotel. Just wait for me. Don't worry." Qin Xiaorou didn't delay any further.
She put on a jacket and went out.
After all, the longer time dragged on, the harder it would be to find.
Time was of the essence. If Guanghui was still in the hotel, it shouldn't take long to find. But if it had gone outside, it would be troublesome.
After Qin Xiaorou left,
Qin Xiaorou stood there in a daze for a while, then walked to the sofa.
She curled up her legs, hugged her knees with her hands, and buried her head. Her shoulders trembled slightly, like a wounded kitten, looking pitiful and helpless.
"Qin Xiaorou, you're so useless, you can't even find a cat..."
Her fingers gripped her trouser legs tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white.
As a negative emotion arose, various complex emotions surged instantly.
Qin Xiaorou began to sob softly.
After an unknown amount of time,
the phone on the bed suddenly rang.
She looked up sharply, her face already streaked with tears.
Without even wiping her tears, Qin Xiaorou rushed to the bedside.
She picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.
"Hello, Sister, have you found the cat?" she asked, her voice trembling with sobs.
The person on the other end clearly paused.
Then, a string of vicious curses followed.
Qin Xiaorou held the phone blankly, listening to the curses, her face gradually turning ashen.
Her head buzzed, her thoughts slowed down, and the negative emotions that had been healed by Su Yu and her family rushed back in an instant.
"Did you find the cat?"
She seemed unable to think, only mumbling to herself.
"Haha, serves you right for losing your cat!"
"It's truly satisfying. Maybe your cat has been hit by a car, or beaten to death by someone, but you'll never find it in this lifetime!"
"This is your retribution!"
The person on the other end became more excited.
They sought pleasure through all sorts of malicious language.
"The cat is dead..." Qin Xiaorou gave a desolate laugh.
"That's right, the cat is dead, and you will die like the cat too!"
*Tap!*
Qin Xiaorou's phone dropped to the floor.
At this moment, all she had in her mind was the sentence: "The cat is dead."
She couldn't think of anything else.
Seeing that Qin Xiaorou had gone silent, the person on the other side became impatient.
They had called to curse, wanting to see Qin Xiaorou become embarrassed and break down, thus gaining pleasure. But Qin Xiaorou's calm demeanor made them lose interest.
They then hung up the phone, bored.
After a long silence,
Qin Xiaorou came back to her senses.
"I'm sorry, let it all end..."
Her face was ashen, her voice utterly submissive.
The cat was dead, and her heart was dead with it.
Let it all end like this.
She had caused trouble for everyone.
So many people disliked her; she was truly a failure as a person.
She bent down, picked up the phone from the floor, and walked towards the balcony.
She walked step by step.
Various memories flashed through her mind.
When she was adopted by her parents at the age of five, although she lived a wealthy life, she still lacked a sense of security. She always competed with her sister for everything. When she couldn't win, she blamed her parents for favoring her sister, just for their attention. She truly was ignorant...
In her confused youth, she liked Shen Qingfeng, but Shen Qingfeng and her sister were deeply in love. Her parents supported her sister and Shen Qingfeng, and she threw a tantrum at her parents and ran away from home. It seemed she was truly detestable...
Idol Su Yu accompanied her shopping to help her overcome her shadow, but unexpectedly, so many things happened, causing such an excellent person to be misunderstood as a scumbag by others.
Now, even Guanghui was gone.
Guanghui probably hated her too, which was why it ran away.
Qin Xiaorou, you are truly an ominous and redundant person...
Standing on the balcony,
Qin Xiaorou looked down.
People were coming and going below.
If she jumped, it would be very unsightly.
Would it scare many people again?
Would it hit passersby?
She didn't want to involve more people, nor did she want her idol to see her in such an unsightly state.
That's right, she wanted to leave beautifully, or else she would be disliked again.
She took a fruit knife from the coffee table drawer.
Carrying her phone, she walked into the bathroom.
Shen Qingfeng's show was starting. She would listen to a new song by her idol one last time.
This would be the final time.
...
"Praise the Song" was a live broadcast variety show.
However, it wasn't a major variety show, and its popularity among the various programs wasn't very high.
But this show had a rather eye-catching selling point: it invited ten popular internet celebrities to praise the songs sung by the guest performers. As long as more than five people gave a thumbs-up, the information of the song's producer would be revealed, and the song would receive promotion from the show's production team.
Of course, Fengling Chuanqi wasn't there to promote a song, but as a popular guest. They originally planned to sing "The Most Dazzling National Style," but Su Yu gave them a new song. Shen Qingfeng then discussed with the program team and became a song-promoting guest.
Naturally, since they were all internet celebrities, their professionalism couldn't compare to large-scale programs like the city championships. People watched the reviews mostly for entertainment.
"Welcome to 'Praise the Song,' sponsored by 666 Cold Medicine..."
After the host took the stage, they read a long string of advertising slogans.
Next, the internet celebrity review panel entered.
These were internet celebrities with over a million followers on short video platforms, not just from the entertainment industry; they came from all walks of life. This time, a new review teacher joined, Hao Danteng, who had always claimed to be a die-hard fan of Tingyu, was also among the internet celebrity review panel.
Last time, when he reviewed Tingyu's song "Exaggeration," he said that Zhang Wei's vocals were off-key and his performance was not perfect. As a result, "Exaggeration" became a huge hit online, completely slapping him in the face.
Moreover, many suspected that Hu Yang's only vote was cast by Hao Danteng, so many angry netizens demanded an explanation on his Weibo.
You were consuming Tingyu's traffic benefits while also belittling Tingyu, so Tingyu's fans naturally wouldn't let it go. From then on, he gradually became low-key. However, he recently took on a few variety show judging roles and has become active again.
This time, with one of the program's review teachers leaving, he was brought in to fill the position.
After all, he had served as a member of the review panel for the "Ace City Championship," making him a top figure in this field. And although his fan base had dropped significantly after the previous incident, he still had over a million followers.
