☆, 78. Weren’t you a bad boy when you were a kid?

"You mean he was unlucky when he was a child?" Rongqing rarely keeps up with the times and quickly grasped the concept of "non-African".

Yu Jiuyin was speechless. "No, it's exactly what it says. This kid was skinny and dark when he was little. He's actually quite good-looking now that he's grown up. But his invisible body structure really hasn't changed at all."

Yu Jiuyin finally remembered who Yu Zilin was. He had indeed made his debut five years ago.

At the time, there was a group called Miracle Boys. They were a kind of training group, bringing together talented kids with artistic talents—singing, dancing, acting, and so on. Because the members were young and cute, they instantly amassed a large following of both moms and older women, becoming a nationwide sensation. Yu Zilin was one of them.

Yu Jiuyin still remembers Yu Zilin being nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Asian Film Festival for his role in a period piece about famine. If he weren't so young, he might have won the award. The female celebrity who had Master Yu Jiuyin perform a feng shui ritual at the time even said that this child had a promising future.

But no matter how high the reviews are from industry insiders, it's useless if the audience doesn't buy in. Furthermore, their group is rather chaotic. The three older members are experts in creating CPs and character creations, while the two younger members are naturally cute and know how to act coquettishly to attract attention. Therefore, in this sweet and savory younger brother group, the relatively unremarkable Yu Zilin is the one being sidelined.

"Looking so ugly really lowers the team's appearance!"

"What a talented young actor in the screen industry, if he's good at acting, then go ahead and act! What's the point of being an eyesore in the group?"

"I've had enough. Teenagers are just screwing around with their personas. What's with all the talk of waiting for the light to shine? There's no light at all, okay? He turned a perfectly good song into something else? His dancing is so limp. If you don't have the talent, don't get involved!"

"Get out of the group right now! It's disgusting to look at."

"Ugly guys don't deserve to be idols!"

Yu Jiuyin still remembers the feeling when he was sitting in the audience. He had just learned the magic at that time and his control was not very good. The malice of countless people in the venue was like sharp arrows flying towards him, and every word was read clearly by Yu Jiuyin.

The fans who made these slanderous remarks took advantage of the fact that the stage couldn't hear them and didn't need to consider their tone at all. The phrase "ugly and unworthy" became the original sin that prevented Yu Zilin from gaining a foothold.

Yu Jiuyin was furious and wanted to do something to change the situation. However, Yu Zilin's performance was quite surprising. Even with the silence, he didn't seem embarrassed at all, and the smile on his face never faded.

It was not until he was left backstage and the other team members were taken away by their assistants, leaving him alone, that he took off all his disguises and his eyes slowly turned red, but he did not cry until the end.

It’s not that Yu Zilin didn’t feel uncomfortable, nor was it that he was too young to understand embarrassment, but he understood one thing: only when you are favored can you feel fearless, but when you are not valued, you will not be comforted even if you cry to death.

Clearly understanding the child's thoughts, Yu Jiuyin stood behind the door, silent for a long moment before ultimately not stepping forward. He didn't know how to comfort the child. At the time, Yu Jiuyin's life had been too easy and unrestrained. While he could empathize with Yu Zilin's sadness, he didn't know how to help him heal.

Later, an accident happened during the New Year's Eve concert. Yu Jiuyin intervened on behalf of his master and accidentally saved Yu Zilin's life. He also gave him a talisman, and they established a bond of fate.

If Yu Jiuyin's memory is correct and Yu Zilin is the child from that year, then everything makes sense.

Yu Jiuyin signaled Rongqing to take the information of the boss and Jingfeng for comparison, and directly summarized the similarities between them.

"He has a clean temperament and has gone through a rough childhood, but he never forgets his original aspirations. Look at Yu Zilin, doesn't he have similarities with the two of them?"

Rong Qing took the three people's information and took a look. "Are you saying this is the standard by which those people select people?"

"Yes. People with paranoid personalities are generally fascinated by such pure souls. At the same time, whether it's Boss Jingfeng or Yu Zilin, they are not only clean but also have a tenacity that refuses to admit defeat. They endure so much hardship just to get that last bite of candy. How beautiful do you think the smile of such people would be?"

Rong Qing felt a chill in his heart as he listened. He could imagine the feeling Yu Jiuyin described, which made him feel that human nature was even more terrifying. But how could Yu Jiuyin see so clearly into the mind of such a person? What had he experienced in the past?

Rong Qing didn't dare to think about it, nor did he have the heart to ask. Moreover, the case was not over yet, and if Yu Jiuyin didn't tell about the past himself, no one could force him to do so.

Reaching out and hugging Yu Jiuyin, Rongqing didn't say anything. He just patted Yu Jiuyin's back soothingly, and then let him go.

"I asked Zhang Yao to check on the remaining five members of the group. I remember they held a fifth anniversary celebration a few days ago."

"Yeah. I'll go backstage and check on Yu Zilin." Yu Jiuyin didn't ask Rongqing why she hugged him, but before leaving, he said to Rongqing seriously, "Rongrong, don't worry too much about me. I'm not that fragile. Many things are over and gone forever."

"I know, I just want to hug you." Rongqing said seriously.

Yu Jiuyin was silent at first, then changed her tone, "Then let's go to another place next time and let me hug you too~"

Yu Jiuyin's words were filled with a hint of ambiguous teasing. Rongqing remained calm and teased back, "Are you going to hug me in a skirt?"

"..." Yu Jiuyin was speechless for a moment, feeling that the young lady's joke was unlikely to make her way over!

——————————————-

Backstage at the rehearsal, everyone was putting on makeup. After this performance, another group of people were leaving, so the atmosphere was a bit dull.

"Don't feel bad, everyone. We've trained this far, so whether you stay or leave, don't have any regrets. The stage is a one-day-only thing, so give it your all while you have the chance! Besides, we're brothers, so we'll support each other and no one will be left behind." Cheng Le, the third-place finisher from last time, spoke up. As his name suggests, he's a sunny, optimistic person with a strong sense of justice. He used to be often ostracized at his company, which made him seem particularly gloomy. Now, after over two months of training here, he's finally letting his true nature shine, and he's become quite popular online.

"That's right. I heard the director say that before. It seems the Rong family wants to test the waters of the entertainment industry, and this variety show is a sign of that. I suspect the rumor is true, so let's all perform well. If we're favored, we'll be signed to the Rong family's agency in the future. Whether we succeed or not, at least our lives will be much better. Don't be depressed, let them see our value!" The boy who echoed this was named Chen Ze. He was handsome, but his temperament was unusually calm. Compared to the youthfulness of the other trainees, this kid looked more like a polished debut artist. He was the current captain of the trainees.

Seeing that everyone was still in a low mood, he had an idea and simply pushed Yu Zilin.

"My dear, you guys are all so depressed, why don't you tell us your fortune? What did you see when you observed the sky last night?"

Yu Zilin was also helpless, "Brother Chen, how can I be that amazing? But if you ask me, don't worry, everything will be fine."

"Really?" Everyone was quite convinced by Zilin's words.

"Really!" Yu Zilin nodded affirmatively, and the atmosphere immediately became much more lively.

"Oh, now that Zilin said that, it feels like there must be no problem."

"That's right. Maybe my leaving first this time will be an opportunity. I can be signed by the Rong family as soon as I leave!"

"You have no chance unless you take me with you to hug your thighs."

"Go, go, go, all of you, go! I need to practice my dance steps again. You guys are too noisy!"

This group of trainees, the oldest of whom is only 22 years old, are all very reckless. Now that their frustrations are relieved, they get together and start making trouble again.

Shen Ze breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Yu Zilin with gratitude. Yu Zilin shook his head and quietly took out a candy from his pocket and put it in Shen Ze's hand.

“Brother Shen, I see that you don’t eat much in the morning, so don’t get low blood sugar if you carry it with you.”

"You! You're still secretly bringing snacks when you're about to go on stage. Aren't you afraid of being caught by the instructor?" Chen Ze reached out and rubbed Yu Zilin's head.

"Then I'll say it was given to me by Brother Chen." Yu Zilin reacted quickly and passed the blame on very well.

Shen Ze sighed helplessly and gave him a few more instructions before making his own preparations. When he was about to turn around, he suddenly felt as if someone was looking at them. He subconsciously looked towards the door and happened to meet the eyes of Yu Jiuyin who was standing there.

"What do you want to talk to us about?"

Yu Jiuyin nodded and waved towards Yu Zilin, "Come here!"

"Brother Yu, you're here!" Yu Zilin was also very excited when he saw Yu Jiuyin. He jumped over and shouted, "Brother Yu, do you think I look handsome today?"

He's so handsome with a messy head of hair, how could this kid be so heartless? Yu Jiuyin reached out and pinched Yu Zilin's face, "You slept late last night, can you hold on today?"

"It's okay! Don't worry... Hey? Brother Yu, did you remember me?" Yu Zilin couldn't help but smile even more happily when he sensitively noticed the change in Yu Jiuyin's attitude.

He was particularly grateful to Yu Jiuyin because of what happened in their childhood. Now that they met again after a long separation, he was so excited to hear Yu Jiuyin care about him that he almost wagged his tail.

Chen Ze and Cheng Le exchanged a glance, both frowning, feeling that Yu Zilin seemed a bit too close to Yu Jiuyin. Furthermore, their brother was genuinely foolish, not just pretending. Furthermore, Chen Ze and Cheng Le noticed that Yu Jiuyin dressed and spoke like a young master from an aristocratic family, so they were even more worried that Yu Zilin would be deceived and suffer a loss. They couldn't help but walk over to the two of them, interrupting their conversation.

"Excuse me, do you have something to do with Zilin?" Shen Ze was a smooth person. Although he cleverly used his body to block Yu Zilin behind him, his attitude was impeccable.

Yu Jiuyin looked at Chen Ze for a moment, "The universe is upside down and in power, a man and a woman are destined to be an emperor. He is sure to be rich and powerful in the future."

"Yes, yes, yes! Brother Chen will definitely be very rich in the future, so I have to cling to him first." Yu Zilin nodded continuously.

Yu Jiuyin immediately laughed. This child hadn't changed at all. At first glance, he seemed innocent and naive, but once you cracked open his shell, you could see the soul within clearly and clearly.

Chen Ze, standing next to him, sighed repeatedly, feeling that his younger brother was no longer viable. The only person in the entertainment industry who could describe "clinging to someone's thighs" in such a refreshing and refined way was probably the little idiot Yu Zilin.

Cheng Le also felt a headache. However, he felt more at ease. He heard Yu Jiuyin's words and it seemed that he was very good at predicting things. He must have a good relationship with Yu Zilin. Chen Ze also thought so. Both of them relaxed their guard against Yu Jiuyin.

Yu Jiuyin looked relieved. No matter what Yu Zilin had been through, things were looking up now. However, he still hadn't forgotten his business. Now that everyone was there, he quickly asked about recent events. To his surprise, someone actually knew.

"There is one very strange thing, but I don't know if it is related to Zilin." The person who spoke this time was a very steady-looking young man named Meng Lin. He was said to be the oldest and most meticulous of all the trainees.

"What do you mean?" Yu Jiuyin was curious.

"It was the performance that had the initial incident. Wasn't that the first elimination round? There was a guy named Bi Shuo. His group was originally going to be the third to perform, and Bi Shuo was the team leader at the time. But he played a trick and secretly switched places with the second-placed team, which was Cheng Le's team."

"I remember it too. It's really strange!" A trainee who was in the same group with Bi Shuo at the time interjected, "Bi Shuo forced the change without even consulting us. The reason was pretty far-fetched. He said the ice prop we were using wouldn't wait long enough and would melt, so he asked Cheng Le and the others if they could go third. Since Chen Ze's group was in first place, Cheng Le agreed. But the rest of our group was furious."

"Yes, and I also noticed that Bi Shuo seemed to have been frightened that day. Later, when Zilin and the others were fine, he looked very relieved and kept muttering that they had finally let him go or something like that."

"So, at first, we all suspected that the problem on stage was Bi Shuo's fault, after all, his reaction was so strange. But then we felt that it was impossible, because he was just an ordinary trainee and couldn't have such great abilities. Plus, the head director investigated for a long time and found that it had nothing to do with him. So after he left, no one pursued the matter further."

"When did you say he started muttering that he was finally let go?" Yu Jiuyin keenly grasped the crux of the matter.

"It was after the incident!" The other member of the same group also recalled the scene completely. "When the third group was about to go on stage, Zilin refused to let anyone go. Not only that, he even called all the stagehands down. It was a real mess. It was a live broadcast, and the director was furious. He said if Zilin made any more noise, he'd be fired. But Zilin went up like crazy and dragged the director down with him. The moment the director came down, the whole stage collapsed. Zilin was even hit on the back by a falling light because he was dragging the director down, but luckily it wasn't big."

Talking about the scene at that time, these trainees are still very frightened. Stage accidents can be serious or minor, but if you are not careful, this kind of accident can cost lives!

"That's why we distanced ourselves from Bi Shuo later, because he's so weird! I always feel like he's pushing some trouble onto Zi Lin." Meng Lin hesitated, as if he wasn't sure whether to speak up. But when he thought about Yu Jiuyin coming with a case, he finally said it. "I don't know if I'm being too sensitive, but I think Bi Shuo is possessed!"

After Meng Lin finished saying this, the faces of the people who had shared a dormitory with Bi Shuo before all turned pale.

"Can you be more specific?"

"Bi Shuo, the captain, got there because he was diligent. But in reality, Bi Shuo wasn't practicing that hard on his own, but because he was afraid to sleep. From the first day he moved into the dorm, he was dazed. Then one time, when he opened the closet, he was so frightened that he sat down on the floor. Later, he even smashed the bathroom mirror."

"We thought he was a bit nervous and didn't dare to talk to him. But after seeing how hard he practiced, our impression of him improved a bit."

"Then do you know why he dares not sleep?"

"It seemed to be because of nightmares. He started taking sleeping pills, but later stopped sleeping altogether." Meng Lin said this with a bit of fear. "We all suspected he had some mental problems. Because one day, when we woke up, we found Bi Shuo sleeping in the closet. And it wasn't his own closet, it was someone else's closet."

"Wardrobe, dream..." Yu Jiuyin pondered what Meng Lin and the others said, and had a general idea in his mind.

"Does anyone have the information about this Master Bi?" Yu Jiuyin turned to ask the director team.

"Here." The director team quickly called it to Yu Jiuyin.

Yu Jiuyin flipped it open and took a look, then immediately understood.

As expected, Bi Shuo also had a clean and elegant appearance. But compared to Yu Zilin's natural cleanliness, he seemed too artificial.

Especially the eyes.

Yu Zilin is genuinely kind, but that Bi Shuo... I'm afraid he's essentially evil. Plus, Bi Shuo habitually plays the victim, which is basically a shame for someone born at the wrong time. So, it really fits the preferences of the mastermind behind the Menghu fandom. He's just a low-brow fake.

This deduction gave Yu Jiuyin a new possibility. He thought perhaps this illegitimate fan was originally Bi Shuo's, intent on killing him and imprisoning him in his dreams. But Bi Shuo was a ruthless person, determined to kill his friend rather than himself. Furthermore, Yu Zilin's knowledge of divination had helped his teammates and the ground staff avoid danger, and his momentary success had caught the illegitimate fan's eye.

That fan badge couldn't have fallen somewhere innocently. The only explanation was that the sasaeng fan had used the first pack of Dream Fox powder on Bi Shuo, only to find that Yu Zilin was more captivated than Bi Shuo. So he went to the Love Bar a second time, aiming to get a new pack of Dream Fox powder and go after Yu Zilin.

If that was the case, then the whole thing connected. Yu Jiuyin immediately took out her phone and called Rong Qing, "Rongrong, go check on a trainee named Bi Shuo. Is he still alive? If you can find him, have Zhang Yao take him to the special case team immediately. We're on to something!"

"Got it." Rong Qing moved quickly, and after Yu Jiuyin put down the phone, he took out three copper coins and put them in Yu Zilin's hand, "Throw a divination and let me see it!"

"Okay." Yu Zilin threw it out casually.

"Seven is odd, and odd numbers are yang. That illegitimate fan is indeed a man. Say a word for me."

"Width?"

"There's grass under the roof, and at the bottom is a 'jian', which means 'see under the grass'. Are there any overhead decorations or anything related to flowers and plants in this performance?"

"Yes! There is one place." The people in the director team looked at Yu Jiuyin in surprise, thinking that this was too amazing.

"Then your performance may have to be postponed. We should take this opportunity to arrest someone." As soon as Yu Jiuyin finished speaking, Rongqing followed him over, and with him came people from the special case team.

"Rongrong, you and Mingyu stay here. I'll take Yisheng and the others over."

"Be careful." Rongqing understood what Yu Jiuyin meant. He was afraid that the illegitimate fan would make a comeback after he left, so he left Rongqing here to keep order.

————————————————

In just five minutes, after everything was arranged, Yu Jiuyin led Yisheng and several members of the special case team to the other side of the stage. However, before leaving, Yu Jiuyin suddenly remembered a question and turned to ask Yu Zilin, "Yu Zilin, why are you different from when you were a child? I remember you were so dark!"

What the hell is "especially dark"?! Yu Zilin was so offended by Yu Jiuyin's words that even with a big heart, he was a little upset. "Because it's necessary for the role! It's not a film about fleeing famine, people in that era were all skinny, so I lost weight according to the director's request. Plus, we filmed under the scorching sun for half a year, it would be strange if I wasn't dark! What do you think I look like, Brother Yu?"

Not an African or something... But he couldn't say this, so Yu Jiuyin stroked Yu Zilin's hair very gently and said, "Okay, okay, I know you are not African." Then he quickly led people out.

Yu Zilin, who was left behind, was stunned for a long time before he suddenly realized what Yu Jiuyin said. What the hell is an African? He clearly looks very auspicious, the kind of lucky guy who can even pick up money while walking.

——————————————-

However, no matter how depressed Yu Zilin was, Yu Jiuyin couldn't see him at this moment. He led his men and followed the director's team directly to the stage, intending to check out the sky garden the director had mentioned. If he was right, the sasaeng fan was most likely hiding there.

Since the performance officially starts in the evening, the stage is very quiet now. There are only a few stagehands walking around and carefully checking the props to be used in the evening.

But none of them noticed that right above them, beneath the platform adorning the hanging gardens, a thin man was tying himself to the very bottom of the hanging gardens with a special rope. Through the dense vegetation, the man's paranoid gaze was filled with an evil so intense it sent a chill down his spine.

He was waiting, waiting for the trainees to go on stage for rehearsal...

The author has something to say: Yu Jiuyin: Well, you’ve been waiting for a long time, here I come!
