An Ran was shocked when Fu Jinxiao said those words.

Not only An Ran, but everyone present was shocked. Not only those present, but also the viewers in the live broadcast room were all greatly shocked!

However, just as he was about to finish speaking, the live streaming platform, unable to handle the massive traffic, experienced a network outage and crashed, dropping to 460ms.

The sudden black screen drove all the netizens crazy.

"What's going on?"

"I only heard Teacher Fu say 'Excuse me' in the first half, and then that was it!!!"

"Holy crap, my roommate smashed his phone in anger."

"What's wrong with this live streaming platform???"

"The gossip I heard earlier has already left me speechless, to be honest."

In just over ten minutes, this small live stream had a tremendous impact, instantly trending on Weibo with multiple "hot" topics. Netizens opening Weibo were completely bewildered, staring at the numerous "hot" topics on the trending list.

#Jane got dumped#

#An Ran's attempt to drug Shen Xingsui failed#

#Who exactly ordered this?#

Just one minute later, another even more explosive trending topic surged to the top of today's trending list within a few short minutes:

#Excuse me, Fu Jinxiao#

The bombshell revelations that broke today have left everyone speechless. Fu Jinxiao, a top-tier celebrity with national recognition—an idol even the elderly on the street would recognize—had his livestream screen go black, whetting everyone's appetite. Experienced viewers knew that what followed might be an even more shocking revelation, but just then, the livestream went black!

#OrangeLive, you're not human!#

Just a few minutes later, another trending topic condemning live streaming platforms topped the charts, sweeping across major news sections. All entertainment reporters were urgently called to work, and people who were unaware of the situation received various notifications on their phones, all of which were pop-up ads for Toutiao News.

Big melon of the year.

A plot that even novels wouldn't dare to write is unfolding.

Although the live stream was shut down, many people were still recording it, and large clips of the video were edited and released, exposing Jianzhi and Anran's disgraceful behavior to the public. Previously, some people who were unaware of the facts, including Anran and Jianzhi's fans, claimed it was a rumor, but they were speechless in the face of the video. The comment section was also surprisingly harmonious.

"I've stopped being a fan."

"How could someone be like this? I've been a fan of Jianzhi for five years, and now I'm so disgusted I feel like I'm eating my leftovers from the night before."

"He actually likes men."

"He had previously engaged in publicity stunts with quite a few actresses."

"The key issue is that his character is extremely depraved."

Even so, some fans still came out to defend their idol: "My brother hasn't issued a statement yet, I believe there's a misunderstanding. I'll wait for him to say it himself. I will always support and believe in my brother."

The responses to this type of person were quite lively:

Do you know what fate awaits someone like you?

"Didn't you see the boy who threw the wine at him?"

"He's a jerk, wake up, sister."

In response, fans said: "What's wrong with boys being 'scumbags'?"

Because of this reply, Jianzhi's fans were thrust into the spotlight. The topic of Jianzhi being gay and male dating suddenly became the focus of discussion. Many people still couldn't accept that their idol liked men, and they also gave the wronged male idol the opinion that he deserved it and that men were being pretentious.

Only a rational person asked one question:

"Aren't boys human beings too? Aren't their feelings feelings too?"

Gradually, both sides held their own opinions, and rational bystanders and die-hard fans went to war. While they were tearing each other apart, Fu Jinxiao and Shen Xingsui's fans were even busier, especially their respective supertopics, which were now in an uproar, with traffic pouring in like crazy. Many people began to actively discuss and analyze the meaning of An Ran's words:

"More favored by Fu Jinxiao than you"

"I wish you all the best later."

"I'll never argue with you again."

Sensitive fans have already sensed something's amiss, and if these words are put together, doesn't it sound like an obvious relationship?!

The girl with the microscope has already started researching: "An Ran also mentioned albums, what albums that were given back to Sui Sui's collection."

“When he said he was more liked by Fu Jinxiao than you, pay attention to Sui Sui’s expression afterward. He’s shy.” A die-hard fan of Shen Xing Sui analyzed: “It’s actually very easy to tell Sui Sui’s mood. When he’s shy, he’ll purse his lips, his eyes will wander, and his eyes will have a slight curve.”

Just as everyone was about to investigate further, suddenly everyone's network started to malfunction, and the Weibo page eventually became completely blank, displaying a 460 error.

Because a large number of users suddenly flooded into Weibo from the live streaming platform, causing the live streaming platform to crash, Weibo finally couldn't withstand the user activity caused by the simultaneous downfall of several popular celebrities and directly became paralyzed.

The stalemate at the hot spring pool was about to end.

After Shen Xingsui stated that she would not forgive the two people, Jian Zhi and An Ran were taken back by their angry agents and teams. The two groups met briefly and then quickly separated.

Shen Xingchen, always eager for a good show, casually remarked, "Oh, let's go, come again next time!"

Jane's face turned ashen.

The manager of the hot spring resort arrived after seeing what had happened: "Everyone, we are so sorry to have disturbed your rest with this incident. We didn't expect it to turn out like this..."

Shen Xingsui, on the contrary, felt that her group had caused trouble for the shopkeeper, so she quickly said, "It's okay."

The manager quickly bowed and explained the compensation plan, offering various VIP cards in the hope that they would come back to the resort in the future, promising even better service.

Shen Xingsui and the others were naturally not interested.

After all, they didn't really come here to soak in the hot springs. Even if they did want to, they're too busy with work to come all this way.

But Fu Jinxiao spoke up, saying, "I can issue a card, but do us a favor."

The manager was taken aback and looked at him suspiciously.

Fu Jinxiao slowly said, "Bring us all the information and data on Jianzhi's entry and exit registrations over the years."

The manager was shocked upon hearing this, and Shen Xingsui behind him was also stunned. Shen Xingchen and Zhang Chi were also amazed, as none of them had expected there to be such a layer!

However, if Jian Zhi wants to clear his name later, he might indeed use this as leverage. And before this evidence is destroyed, it is all proof that can completely destroy his reputation. Fu Jinxiao is truly cunning and shrewd...

The manager tried to decline, saying, "This is the guest's private information, and we cannot disclose it. This is a private hot spring resort, and we value the privacy of our guests."

"Is that so?" Fu Jinxiao seemed to have expected this, and calmly said, "Since it's a guest's private information that can't be disclosed, then you can let An Ran and the camera enter other guests' private rooms without permission, and that's considered privacy?"

The manager's face turned pale.

Fu Jinxiao is truly perceptive, and she gets straight to the heart of the matter. If this issue is investigated further, their manor's reputation will be ruined.

“This…” The manager wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: “But they registered someone else’s card here, so even if we get the records, we probably can’t prove it.”

Fu Jinxiao smiled and said, "Entry is possible without real-name registration. Your manor really values ​​privacy."

The manager realized he had dug himself another hole. Talking to Fu Jinxiao was full of traps, and it was impossible to guard against them. He really didn't expect that this fire would spread to him. Immediately, this grown man showed a tearful expression: "Teacher Fu, we are just a small business, please don't make things difficult for us."

Fu Jinxiao led Shen Xingsui through the hall, stopped in the lobby, and glanced at the manager: "Please don't do this. People who don't know better might think I did something to you. After all, I'm not an unreasonable person. Doing business is not easy for anyone, and we all need to understand each other."

The manager breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next second, he heard Fu Jinxiao say slowly, "Your surveillance records should last at least a year, right? Send over all the videotapes of them entering during this year."

The manager stood there, stunned and dumbfounded.

Fu Jinxiao wore a kind smile, but it looked so dangerous. The man spoke slowly and deliberately: "This shouldn't be difficult, right?"

The manager had no doubt that if he said it was difficult, Fu Jinxiao would have a hundred more traps waiting for him to fall into. Discretion is the better part of valor, so he smiled wryly and said, "It's not difficult, it's not difficult at all. Mutual understanding is key..."

Fu Jinxiao was finally satisfied. He instructed his assistant outside to make the arrangements before leaving the villa.

Shen Xingchen, standing behind, looked at the manager with some sympathy, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Brother, if you encounter him, you'd better cooperate honestly. As someone who's been there, I advise you to do as he says, otherwise, he'll only have more insidious tricks waiting for you later."

The manager almost broke down in tears.

The group went outside to get into the car. Zhang Chi looked at Shen Xingsui and said, "Suisui, Teacher Hu is back from running errands. He's at his studio in Hengtong Building. He needs to coordinate with us on the music arrangement..."

Shen Xingsui then remembered the task Hu Kaiyue had given her before she left.

After all that he had gone through, he was no longer prepared to continue working with Zhang Chi, which meant he was giving up the opportunity to continue working with Hu Kaiyue.

It's better to go back and explain things clearly, to avoid any awkwardness later.

Shen Xingsui looked at Fu Jinxiao and said softly, "I might have to go there."

Fu Jinxiao's van arrived as well. He leaned against the car, gave Zhang Chi a meaningful look, and said, "Are you sure it's safe for you to go alone?"

"I'll have my assistant come with me." Shen Xingsui smiled. "Since it might involve contract termination or something similar, it would be better to go and discuss it, wouldn't it?"

Fu Jinxiao knew he had his own things to do, and he couldn't always follow along. He could keep an eye on the child, but not too closely, otherwise there would be no opportunity or space for growth. So she nodded: "Let Meican go with us."

Shen Xingsui nodded in agreement: "Okay."

They were going to part ways.

Shen Xingsui looked at Fu Jinxiao with some reluctance, but she still knew what was important and simply said, "Then I'm leaving."

"Hmm." Fu Jinxiao pulled him back just as he was about to leave, and his kiss landed lightly on Shen Xingsui's lips. He looked at him quietly and asked again, "Is it really okay for you to go by yourself this last time?"

Shen Xingsui's earlobes turned red. No matter how many times they got close, his heart would race every time Fu Jinxiao got close, but he still nodded firmly and said, "I'm fine. I'm not a child anymore."

Fu Jinxiao smiled and slowly responded.

In Shen Xingsui's eyes, the man reached out and touched his head, saying softly, "But you still have the right to sue your parents."

If you are bullied, go to your parents.

This is a right that has never existed in a very long time, or even before, but it is something that Fu Jinxiao can have.

Shen Xingsui's heart was burning. Every time he thought Fu Jinxiao was already good enough, Fu Jinxiao would tell him that he could be even better, exceptionally good, so good that it made him want to cry.

...

They parted ways.

When Shen Xingsui and Zhang Chi were in the same car, Shen Xingsui briefly mentioned that he might not be composing any more of the remaining songs, but he still had manuscripts that he could show to Hu Kaiyue.

Upon arriving at the destination, Hu Kaiyue naturally asked about the recent events first. After getting a general understanding, he glared at Zhang Chi and then said to Shen Xingsui, "You can still write the lyrics for the next few songs. Give me the lyrics, and if they pass, I will collaborate with you alone. If not, we will terminate the contract and find someone else."

Shen Xingsui didn't expect that he would still be willing to cooperate with him.

If it's a one-on-one collaboration and we don't need to go to the villa, that's fine. He just doesn't want to collaborate with Zhang Chi, not that he doesn't want to write songs anymore. He can distinguish between these things.

As they left the building, Zhang Chi grasped his hand, trying to stop him. Shen Xingsui stepped back warily, looking at him. Zhang Chi saw this wariness in her eyes, and felt a little defeated, but still mustered his courage and spoke: "Sui Sui... I want to say..."

Shen Xingsui looked at him quietly.

"I want to say sorry." Zhang Chi looked at him with some sorrow: "I have always wanted to make up for the hurt I have caused you, but I have been doing wrong things and causing you more harm."

Shen Xingsui remained calm. After listening, he said, "Zhang Chi, you don't need to apologize to me. If you really feel guilty, you'd better get past your own conscience first."

If you have to face your own cowardice.

So that my future self won't have to say sorry every day.

Zhang Chi was taken aback. When he looked at Shen Xingsui, Shen Xingsui had already taken the manuscript and was about to leave. Before parting, he didn't exchange many pleasantries, but simply said in a low voice: "I no longer care about the past. Only you are still imprisoning yourself. If you really feel guilty, you shouldn't just seek my change and forgiveness, but change yourself first."

After leaving those words, he departed.

Zhang Chi stood frozen in place, seemingly understanding but not quite...

After he came downstairs, Shen Xingchen was still waiting for him in his nanny van. When she saw him return, she looked worried and said, "Sui Sui, you'd better be prepared when you get home."

Shen Xingsui hesitated and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Big brother is very angry!" Shen Xingchen made an exaggerated expression: "Mom and Dad are also very angry because they don't know about you and Teacher Fu, and they don't know about the hot spring incident either."

Shen Xingchen patted Shen Xingsui on the shoulder: "Get ready to face my wrath, brother."

"..."

After hearing what he said, Shen Xingsui felt like she was sitting on pins and needles on the way back.

After finally arriving home, she returned to the living room and, as expected, saw her family members sitting in a row, giving off a rather imposing air, like a three-way interrogation. Xu Enzhen, in particular, glanced at her two sons and snorted, "You're back?"

Shen Xingchen, the lackey, quickly went over and said, "Mom, I didn't mess around. Teacher Fu called me and asked me to come over."

Xu Enzhen snorted coldly: "What's the use of saying all this? Anyway, neither of you cares about me as your mother or this family anymore. You don't need to tell me anything."

This person is clearly very angry.

Shen Xingsui panicked and hurried over. His father and elder brother were both reading financial magazines, but the living room was filled with a strange sense of tension and danger.

Shen Xingsui timidly began to speak, "Mom..."

Xu Enzhen pouted.

"I was wrong." Shen Xingsui tugged at her mother's sleeve and explained softly, "I was just afraid you would worry, and besides, I'm too embarrassed to talk about something so shameful..."

Xu Enzhen wouldn't allow her son to talk about her like that: "What shameful things? If anyone's shameful, it's not you, it's those disgusting maggots!"

"An Ran and Jian Zhi actually dared to have someone drug you!" Xu Enzhen's face turned red with anger, and her gentle and skilled demeanor was nowhere to be seen. "You child, you suffered such great bullying and didn't even tell your family. Do you know how worried your mother was when she found out?"

Seeing his mother's eyes redden, Shen Xingsui felt sad too, and quickly said, "Mom, I was wrong..."

Seeing that he was also upset, Xu Enzhen's eyes revealed a hint of triumph. She seized the opportunity to say, "So, will you still hide things from your mother in the future?"

Shen Xingsui, being an honest child, quickly shook his head.

"Then tell me quickly, have you talked to Teacher Fu?" Xu Enzhen finally couldn't hide her gossipy nature: "How long have you been talking, and how far have you gotten?"

Shen Xingsui: "..."

Mother, something's wrong with you.

But it seems that the whole family's attention has been drawn to this, and everyone is concerned about this topic.

Under the pressure of everyone's gaze, Shen Xingsui finally mustered the courage to speak: "We...are indeed dating."

"Clatter"

The two business magazines were suddenly slammed shut, and the two seemingly calm men sitting opposite each other were no longer calm.

After listening, Xu Enzhen paused for a moment, then pursed her lips and said softly, "Sui Sui, although Mom has always hoped that you would have a good future, if you care about that arranged marriage, you don't need to care at all. You are still young, and marriage is a big deal that needs to be carefully considered. Don't make a decision because of a momentary impulse."

The other two men nodded in agreement.

Shen Yong said, "Your mother and I both think you are still too young, and now is not the best time for you."

Shen Xingsui was stunned, looking at her mother in confusion: "Why..."

He assumed his parents would agree.

Xu Enzhen looked at her son with reluctance. She had only known her child for a little over a year. How could she bear to have her child taken away before she could even warm him up? Even if she thought Fu Jinxiao was a good match, she still couldn't bear to part with him.

Just as the family was at an impasse, the doorbell rang.

The nanny went over to take a look, then came back and said, "It's Teacher Fu and Mrs. Fu."

Everyone was stunned.

Fu Jinxiao's arrival at this moment seemed to be a special trip to help Shen Xingsui out of a predicament, as if he had realized the situation Shen Xingsui might be facing.

Shen Yong said, "Let them in." Xu Enzhen knew her good friends had arrived, so she got up to greet them. It was raining outside, and when she saw the two of them, she couldn't help but worry, saying, "Why did you come in the rain? It's so dangerous."

My friend said, "I came to visit because I heard about what happened to Sui Sui and I was worried about him."

Xu Enzhen looked at Fu Jinxiao beside her.

The man was dressed casually, but his handsome appearance was still undeniable. He greeted her very politely and warmly, showing no sign of guilt about trying to steal her away, and said with a smile, "Auntie, it's been a long time."

Xu Enzhen gave a soft snort.

“The roads were indeed a bit congested coming here in the rain. I thought about it before I came, and Sui Sui’s work always requires her to go out, so it must be inconvenient for her to come and go. Luckily, I also have a house in Haoting, which is very close to here. It will be much more convenient and safer for Sui Sui to come here in the future.” Fu Jinxiao said slowly and deliberately, “What do you think?”

Xu Enzhen was feeling sad because if Sui Sui got married and left, she wouldn't be able to come home often. She had originally had a lot of opinions about Fu Jinxiao, but after hearing this, she wavered a bit. Although she was happy inside, she didn't show it.

Shen Xingsui looked at her mother with some worry, then glanced at Fu Jinxiao, worried that she would make things difficult for him.

Fu Jinxiao gave Shen Xingsui a reassuring smile.

"Oh, right." Fu Jinxiao spoke slowly again, taking out a gift she had prepared beforehand. It was a box of extremely rare and hard-to-find fabric: "I saw you were making a Zen robe before. This kind of fabric is the most exquisite and best for making that set of clothes. I happened to find it by chance, so I asked a friend to buy it for me. I'm just offering it to you. Please don't find it offensive."

This box may look ordinary, but it is actually worth a fortune, and is even more so than available for purchase.

Xu Enzhen had her own connections, but the box was extremely rare both domestically and internationally. The only one still in existence was in the hands of an anonymous buyer. It was very difficult to get this box. The key point was that she saw Fu Jinxiao's sincerity through this box and the house. At least she was serious and cared about her youngest son.

Xu Enzhen immediately smiled and said, "Tonight, you are the most thoughtful one. How could I complain? Sigh, you child, you came all this way, why did you bring anything? Sui Sui, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and bring your brother Fu in."

Shen Xingsui: "..."

mom?

Your attitude changed way too fast!
