Chapter 1517- What trap is this?
The girl's question stunned Song Yingshi, and she couldn't help but be amused.
What kind of logic was this?
The atmosphere shifted, and everyone's expressions became somewhat peculiar.
The young girl's face appeared naive, looking no older than a university student. Although Song Yingshi didn't particularly mind the girl's slip of the tongue, it was a different story for others. Kou Lengyu, standing beside Song Yingshi, blurted out, "Whether Little Shi looks down on Huai Xu or not, what does it have to do with you?"
[Holy crap, this sister is brave!]
[I'm sorry for my baby's words. She has always spoken her mind since the last Star of Spring. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been stuck at the cusp of debuting.] //TL: Kou Lengyu came in 8th last season. Class A (debut class) has seven spots.//
The solo fan's expression twitched at Kou Lengyu's intervention. The one guest unafraid of picking a fight on camera had shown up.
"Alright, Little Shi hasn't even said anything, so why are you being so serious?" Chen Wan said to Kou Lengyu, trying to smooth things over with a gentle demeanor. However, it was obvious she was similarly upset with the solo fan, as the smile she wore didn't reach her eyes. "This fan's actually quite cute, hahaha. Showing double-standards in real-time? Surely you're not serious, right?"
Unlike Chen Wan, Kou Lengyu wore her displeasure on her face. As a Willow herself, this was the first time she had encountered such a "comrade." Besides anger toward her fellow Willow, she couldn't help but feel ashamed. After taking a deep breath, she forced herself to applaud to lighten the mood, saying, "That should count as the request being fulfilled, right? Good, let's congratulate Huai Xu on receiving the 'looked down by Little Shi' treatment."
"What's that? I never said such a thing. Are you trying to drive a wedge between us?" Song Yingshi chuckled.
"You caught me. How sharp of you," Chen Wan said gravely.
"No, I just want to join you two." Kou Lengyu winked.
Although Li Taoran didn't join the playful banter, the eager look she wore showed otherwise.
In the blink of an eye, the tension in the air dissipated.
[Their teammates reacted so quickly.]
[My heart aches for my Little Shi. Even after going through that ordeal, she's still smiling.]
[They all stepped forward to stand by her! What sweet camaraderie!]
[What about Huai Xu?]
The camera panned from the unperturbed Song Yingshi to the faces of Kou Lengyu and the others, finally stopping on the solo fan.
The girl's eyes darted around nervously, and a sense of grievance filled her. The four figures before her were so dazzling and unreachable that she couldn't help but panic in their presence. Subconsciously, she turned to seek her idol's protection.
In the girl's opinion, Huai Xu had been so gentle and kind to her just now, her gaze so soft, and her voice so pleasant when speaking to her. Surely, Huai Xu would be different—
Under the girl's hopeful gaze, Huai Xu walked past her like a heartless breeze, not even glancing at her.
The girl's eyes widened in shock. As she dazedly followed Huai Xu with her gaze, she saw Huai Xu walking toward Song Yingshi, leaving her with only the sight of her back.
As Huai Xu arrived before Song Yingshi, she silently raised her arms, looking like she was initiating an embrace. But then, she dropped them just as quickly.
Noticing Huai Xu's hesitation, Song Yingshi teased, "Why are you standing here? Are you shading me from the light?"
Huai Xu smiled at the playful remark.
Just as Song Yingshi was about to say something else, Huai Xu lowered her gaze, raised her hands, and gently poked Song Yingshi's cheeks with her fingers. It was a fleeting touch, like a dragonfly dipping into water before taking flight again. Yet, her gaze carried infinitely more weight than her action, the precious tenderness and apology in her eyes unmistakable.
Song Yingshi subtly raised her chin, gazing up at Huai Xu's face. Revealing an expression that was as soft as the pink-orange sunset behind her, she whispered, "Alright, I forgive you."
The young girl's pupils dilated at the tender scene unfolding before her. In her daze, she saw Huai Xu turning around and looking at her.
When facing the girl, Huai Xu maintained only the most basic of manners, all traces of leniency toward her fan vanishing. Even her voice regained its usual coldness as she said, "Please respect Song Yingshi."
This singular sentence struck the girl's mind like a bolt from the sky, causing her eyes to lose their luster. Even as staff members led her away from the scene, she still looked devastated.
After the staff members brought the girl outside the view of the cameras, the PD hurried over, saying, "Miss Sun, the questions you asked were different from the ones you submitted. You…"
Before the PD could finish his sentence, the solo fan retorted sharply, "I'm the one who made a fool of myself, so why are you anxious?"
PD: "..."
The PD gave up on communication, left with no choice but to grimace and accept that this was the consequence of inviting genuine audience members to take part in the show.
After being led out of the pier by staff members, the solo fan bit her nails, pulled out her phone, and made a call, "Hello? You made me do this, so you must know the truth, right? Huai Xu and Song Yingshi aren't really like that, are they?! They're just putting on an act, right??"
However, the other person on the call paid no heed to the girl's obsession, simply stating, "We both got what we wanted. There's no need for further contact between us."
"Hello? Hello?!"
…
After hanging up the phone, Jia Yi used the break session after the interactive segment to meet with Fu Shu, who was sitting by himself by the riverbank.
"She just called me, but I ignored her," Jia Yi reported.
Fu Shu didn't seem to be in a good mood and only offered a grunt in response.
Jia Yi took a long look at Fu Shu. As Fu Shu's manager, Jia Yi felt that Fu Shu was obsessed. Ever since Song Yingshi appeared in Fu Shu's world, he had been behaving like a film emperor forcefully pursuing love, just like in the dramas.
After learning about the show's interactive segments, Fu Shu had instructed Jia Yi to help an obsessive solo fan get selected in the hopes that they could tear apart Snow-Kissed Rose on stream.
Jia Yi didn't think this was a good idea. Unfortunately, if he wanted Fu Shu to focus on his career, he had no choice but to help his crazy artist wrap up this forced romance as soon as possible.
"Should I hire some paid commenters? It'll be easier for us to manipulate the narrative that way," Jia Yi suggested.
"It's pointless," Fu Shu said, shaking his head.
Fu Shu didn't care about the CP fans. His aim was to force Huai Xu to be vague about her relationship with Song Yingshi in front of the camera, thereby disappointing Song Yingshi and creating a rift between them. Only then would he have a chance to step in.
However, Fu Shu never expected Song Yingshi to step forward. He also didn't expect Huai Xu to openly defend Song Yingshi. This was the exact opposite of the situation he had hoped to see.
Facing the tranquil river, Fu Shu's expression suddenly darkened as he began to ponder his next step.
When Jia Yi saw Fu Shu's behavior, he shook his head and walked away. As he passed by the back of a cafe, he saw a tall woman leaning against the wall, seemingly waiting specifically for him.
Jia Yi quickly recognized this woman. In an amicable tone, he greeted, "Huai Xu? Are you here to enjoy the scenery?"
Simultaneously, Jia Yi started to consider the worst possibility—that Huai Xu already suspected him.
However, Jia Yi never expected Huai Xu to ask him with an amused look, "Is Fu Shu easy to manage?"
Jia Yi was momentarily stunned. Sensing Huai Xu's bluntness, he awkwardly laughed and replied, "What do you mean by that? It's just work. Also, Instructor Fu is very dedicated; I don't need to fret over—"
"Mhm, he's very dedicated, and very particular about the scripts he accepts," Huai Xu interrupted. "So, does he know about you trading his resources with others?"
The colors on Jia Yi's face changed instantly.
"Those shoddy films he acted in—you said you slipped up and failed to vet them properly, but in reality, you were eyeing the commission from the remuneration. Additionally, twice already you've tricked him into a club…" Huai Xu didn't wish to sully her mouth, so she stopped her words here. Seeing the horrified look on Jia Yi, she smiled and continued, "You've done a lot of such things. You might've been able to control Fu Shu in the past, but now that his status has risen beyond your influence, tell me, do you know what will happen to you if he learns of your deeds?"
Silence.
"Today's incident was also your doing," Huai Xu stated with certainty.
Jia Yi's face turned completely ashen, his mind anxiously considering how Huai Xu had learned of his past and present actions. Did Huai Xu eavesdrop on his conversation with Fu Shu? Or had Huai Xu been investigating them long ago? But where did she find the resources and influence to uncover such secrets?
Regardless of how Huai Xu managed to discover his secrets, it was a fact that she was aware of them. Eventually, Jia Yi gritted his teeth and conceded, "W-What do you want?"
