Chapter 43

The program crew hurriedly arranged for them to return to the recording site. When something like this happened, the fans shouting "give me back my money" at their bus was the least they could do.

Jiang Shiyu's eyes were still red on his way home from get off work. He still remembered what the program crew had asked him to do to comfort his fans, and he waved and bowed to them and said goodbye.

It's unclear what the program crew was thinking, but the fans are even more angry. This is not to appease them at all. It's clearly the program crew pushing Jiang Shiyu out to maintain stability and issuing a challenge to them.

The pictures and videos posted by the fans on Weibo all express their deepest feelings for the baby, and the sentiment is, "Poor Xiaoyu, he's been wronged but still has to put on a forced smile to comfort us."

Jiang Shiyu's latest Weibo post is also filled with comments like these. In contrast, the official account of the program team is simply terrible. The comment section is filled with bright red exclamation marks, except for "return the money" and "get out".

The matter has been fermenting for several rounds, but Jiang Shiyu himself still hasn't said anything. The entire fan circle is in a state of anxiety. Several big fighting fans are ready to make a move, and want to choose between "scolding the program crew" and "scolding those who are trying to get attention."

At a time when the authorities are cracking down on fandom chaos, the brawl between traffic fans is a typical example. Jiang Shiyu was originally the victim, and if his fans continue to make trouble like this, he will become a typical example.

They were given an emergency day off today and all evening training was cancelled. The program team specifically instructed Zheng Yan to pay attention to Jiang Shiyu's condition, let them have a good rest, and notify them as soon as possible if they feel unwell.

Zheng Yan also browsed Jiang Shiyu's fan status, and the more he read, the more his brows furrowed. In his private messages, there were many rational fans asking him what to do, saying that he couldn't go on like this.

This really can't go on.

He has to help Jiang Shiyu calm his fans' minds.

Zheng Yan was also flipping through his phone. Fortunately, he took a picture of Jiang Shiyu from a distance when he was on the bus today. The boy was looking outside obediently and drawing hearts for his fans on the window.

This photo is perfect for the current situation.

@越亦我所欲也: [Picture] Xiaoyu has seen everyone’s comforts, and we should also behave ourselves and not cause trouble for Xiaoyu, and focus on voting and speaking with our own strength.

He checked it several times after editing it, without going live, and the wording was precise and very appropriate.

Just pressed the send button.

Zheng Yan also logged out of Weibo after posting. The door of their room happened to be pushed open. The program crew and Jiang Shiyu were talking about something. They were still talking until 11 o'clock in the middle of the night before they let Jiang Shiyu back in.

His attention instantly returned to Jiang Shiyu, and he had no idea how much shock his post had caused in other small groups in the fan circle.

In a private group, fans' speculations about this wealthy woman who suddenly emerged were constantly being updated.

Has anyone seen Suoyuye's new Weibo post? I don't remember any official or online publication of this set of images. How can he even get these unreleased images?

[Suspected to be SS. The angle of view in one of his pictures is too close. Either SS or he's having private contact with the staff. Yusi is holding back and sticking up for JSY. He just keeps dragging his feet.]

[Guan Zhong, the one who's crazy about being NMX... This guy definitely has some connections... He saved that picture and saw it even after the meet-and-greet ended. How he got that picture is something only our Suoyu knows.]

[Fuck, she's not following the car, is she? Then she's a ss who can do whatever she wants anytime, anywhere. She deserves to be called Sister Suoyu.]

Money means you can do whatever you want. Maybe I bought these pictures and am willing to share them with us. Don't be too hateful to some people. Those who truly like JSY know for themselves. Didn't I give you all that money last time? JSY's biggest wealthy fan is also making you speculate.

[After driving away the fans who paid for it, are you going to pay for JSY? Stop being sarcastic and cunning under the guise of Yusi.]

[Hehe, some people are just hilarious. Are you chasing JSY or the big fans? This is going to be a struggle. Besides spending money, have you ever done anything else? Don't misjudge the efforts of casual fans as hard work, okay?]

[Then please don't treat other people's money as worthless, okay?]

Stop guessing. We're all JSY fans anyway. It's already come to this. Daily Question: Have you voted for Jiang Shiyu? Have you compiled the blog data? Have you increased the direct-shot playback volume?

Zheng Yanye's eyes didn't leave Jiang Shiyu for a moment: "Is everything okay, baby?"

"Nothing." Jiang Shiyu fell on the bed. After a tiring day, his tense mind finally relaxed. "Just told me not to talk nonsense. He said that the company and the production team are following up on this matter."

He said it lightly, but Zheng Yan could still hear the depression and unhappiness in his tone. It made sense, with all the dirty talk being thrown at Jiang Shiyu, and he couldn't even speak for himself.

Zheng Yan didn't know when he came to his bedside. He patted his back gently and said, "It's not your fault."

It wasn't his fault in the first place, Jiang Shiyu thought. What had he done? Had he done something unforgivable? His number one spot was voted for by his fans, and the people around him were earned through sincerity.

Why should we stereotype and one-sidedly label him as a resource-rich person, a royal family member, or someone who is unworthy of his position just because of these things?

He looked into Zheng Yanye's eyes. There was only him in the eyes, affectionate and loyal, as if saying that she would always be by his side.

Is there really anyone who can stay with someone forever who has nothing to do with his or her life?

But Zheng Yan also said that he would do it and would always be by her side.

He said he would not betray himself.

Jiang Shiyu is a person who follows his heart most of the time, and is pushed forward by others. When he entered the industry, he was a lucky person chosen by others. Although he has never become a big star afterwards, he has had some opportunities to show himself. After coming here, he is even more fortunate to meet many fans who support him and many worthy people.

Met Zheng Yanye.

Even though there is inexplicable malice in this world, there are also people who love you.

Jiang Shiyu's eyebrows curved, and he poked his furry head out from the bed: "I'm not unhappy anymore."

"Haven't you already helped me vent my anger? With you by my side, there's nothing to be unhappy about."

"Those people aren't worth wasting your energy on."

For most students and the production team, this incident was essentially a minor incident. The more important thing was the third performance.

After the third public performance, only 36 seats will be left in the ranking announcement. For most people, it is more important to seize these few opportunities to be on camera.

The people in Jiang Shiyu's group were pretty nice. When they saw him, they immediately surrounded him and talked about his concern. Apart from comforting him, there was nothing else they did.

The song that fans voted for is a perfect match for him. It's a sweet love song that's very popular. It's one of those classic hits that the audience will hum along to as soon as the prelude starts playing.

The choreographer ingeniously set up a pose for them to enter. The other team members came out first and then formed a blank space in the middle. At the moment the early introduction ended, Jiang Shiyu slowly descended from the stands accompanied by lights, exactly like the elf falling into the mortal world in the lyrics.

They practiced this movement all morning. At noon, Jiang Shiyu was so tired that he didn't want to move at all. He lay on the ground and pretended to be a wooden man.

"Xiao Yu, aren't you going to eat?" The other members of their group were preparing to go to the cafeteria together. They looked at the person on the ground and asked curiously.

"I don't want to move." Jiang Shiyu replied weakly, "You guys go first, I'll be there soon."

He fell asleep while waiting.

Zheng Yan was also thinking about Jiang Shiyu's promise to "come back to see him every day", and even rejected the mentor's invitation during lunch. Xu Junwen was still obsessed with the various gossips dug up by netizens. He wanted to take advantage of lunch time to walk on the front line and severely torture this long-time friend, but he didn't expect that the other party would not accept his olive branch at all.

"I can't eat with you." In the corner where there were no cameras, Zheng Yan spoke bluntly.

Xu Junwen: ...Do you think I want to be with you? He complained in his heart. We are all in the same circle. Everyone knows that you, Zheng Yanye, have a princely temper. He is purely carrying the heavy trust of the princelings and must find out the current relationship status of Prince Zheng.

He wasn't angry either. He hooked his arm around Zheng Yanye's neck and continued to laugh: "I have to accompany the Yu in your palm again. Our Prince Zheng, is he really tempted this time?"

Of course. Zheng Yan also had a look on his face that said, "You just realized it." "I've always been serious."

Xu Junwen met his expression, and Zheng Yan's face was no longer joking. He sighed, "You are such a love-struck person."

"What kind of script is this? You fell in love with this person at first sight?"

"Are you sure he has no other intentions in approaching you?"

"No." Zheng Yan also glanced at him, "Don't speculate."

"Jiang Shiyu was so stupid that he didn't even realize he was being sold. What's his plan with that silly look?"

“He’s just a really lovely guy.”

"You're really done." Xu Junwen looked at his friend. Zheng Yan also seemed to be flushed with pink bubbles. "Once you think someone is cute, you are really attracted to them."

Zheng Yanye: "...I really like him, okay?"

"Okay." Xu Junwen shrugged, "Then I wish our Young Master Zheng success in his pursuit of love."

They came out of the cubicle while talking. Xu Junwen did not force him and left first. Zheng Yan was waiting alone in the practice room, but he never saw the person who had promised him.

Little liar. Zheng Yan also thought about it and sighed silently. Since Jiang Shiyu didn't come to find him, he could only go to find his wife himself.

Then I found a cuckoo sleeping soundly on the floor of the practice room.

The air conditioning in the practice room was turned on very high. Jiang Shiyu did not sleep very well. He curled up in a ball in his sleep, staying in a small corner.

It makes people feel soft-hearted just by looking at it.

Zheng Yan also happened to be wearing a coat today, and he took it off without hesitation and covered Jiang Shiyu with it. The sleeping Princess and the Pea finally found a safe quilt and sank deeper into her dream.

Zheng Yan also looked at Jiang Shiyu's peaceful sleeping face. Even the fine hairs on his face were clearly visible. He still couldn't help but touch him deeply.

The feel is as good as ever.

Like jelly.

When you kiss it, it's as soft and sweet as jelly.

He stayed by Jiang Shiyu's side, listening to his breathing quietly. He thought about it and realized that there were indeed a lot of things going on recently. It was normal for Jiang Shiyu not to sleep well at night. It would be strange if he could get a good rest after always hearing the sound of him tossing and turning at night.

He looked at the time and saw that there were still thirty minutes left before lunch break. He didn't want to disturb Jiang Shiyu's sleep, so he quietly left their practice room and gently closed the door.

I also have to bring some food for Jiang Shiyu, otherwise he will complain of stomachache again at night.

When Jiang Shiyu woke up, his teammates had just returned. They looked at their captain in shock as he slowly got up from the floor, with marks on his face from being pressed on the yoga mat.

So cute.

They came up with this idea at the same time.

No wonder everyone says that they want to raise Jiang Shiyu when they see him. With such fair skin, beautiful face and big eyes, who wouldn’t want to say “Mom loves you” in front of you?

"Xiao Yu, did you just wake up?"

"Yeah." Jiang Shiyu's voice was still a little sleepy, soft and sticky, "I haven't had a good rest recently."

"That was really hard work." Another teammate came over and said, "But didn't you go to eat? What about practice this afternoon? Can you hold on?"

"It should be possible." Jiang Shiyu smiled. He didn't want to slow down the team's progress because of himself.

"Someone packed a burger for Xiaoyu." Someone suddenly pointed to a corner with surprise, "There's also a sticky note." He picked it up and read it while saying, "Remember to eat well, yeah~"

"This... was also sent by Zheng Yan?" he asked uncertainly.

"Is that so? Is he the only one here whose name contains "ye"? But I didn't realize Zheng Yanye is quite cute. It's really hard to imagine that this "ye" was written by Zheng Yanye."

"Indeed." This statement was agreed by most people. "Zheng Yan usually seems quite aloof. It's hard to imagine him drawing wavy lines on a sticky note."

Jiang Shiyu couldn't help but smile as he listened to their words: "Zheng Yan is just very cute, your impression of him is too stereotyped."

Others: ...

Facing Zheng Yanye's icy poker face, only you can say the word "cute". You are worthy of being the recognized Crown Princess. You can say things that others dare not say, and do things that others dare not do.

It's just different from others.

However, Zheng Yan also seemed to be enjoying it. Apart from his willingness, who else could have ordered the prince to personally deliver the "Love Brand Hamburger Takeout"?
