Chapter 228 This is a misunderstanding

However, Yu Li only looked at the headlines on the trending topics and did not click on the content.

As I clicked on the top trending topic, I sighed, "These paparazzi these days are so good at spreading rumors. He Ran was clearly having dinner with us last night, and they just made up a story about him having a girlfriend."

"What do you mean by writing a song for his girlfriend? He Ran was drunk last night, how can a drunkard write a song..."

But before she could finish speaking, Yu Li suddenly stopped.

Because the trending topic she clicked on wasn't some juicy scoop from paparazzi, but rather—

It was posted on Zhou Heran's own Weibo account.

It's just two simple words, but what's not simple is that a video is attached after those two words.

Zhou Heran V: [New song.]

Before clicking on it, Yu Li thought to herself, "Zhou Heran is drunk, yet he still gets up in the middle of the night to release a new song. He's truly a role model in the industry."

However, as soon as the video was opened, a familiar female voice rang out, and the camera was always pointed at Zhou Heran.

This video is a completely high-definition, straight-out-of-camera output, without any beauty filters or editing.

In the video, a female voice off-camera praises the start of recording, and Zhou Heran picks up his guitar and begins to hum a tune.

After he finished humming the song, the final shot froze on the scene where Zhou Heran said he was dedicating the song to the girl off-camera.

Others might not recognize this voice, but if Yu Li couldn't even recognize her own beloved turtle's voice, then she wouldn't have the face to be called her best friend!

Yu Li's jaw almost dropped to the ground before Qi Chenyan broke the silence: "This female voice sounds somewhat familiar."

"It's Xixi."

Ignoring everything else, Yu Li and Qi Chenyan, still in their pajamas, went straight to find Qi Xi and Zhou Heran.

Yu Li knocked on Qi Xi's door, while Qi Chenyan went to find Zhou Heran.

Completely unaware of what was happening, Qi Xi was awakened by the urgent knocking. Yawning, she went over and said, "Coming, coming."

As soon as the door opened, before Qi Xi could even see the other person's face clearly, Yu Li grabbed his shoulder and shook him back and forth.

"Xixi, what's going on? In just one night, your relationship with He Ran has progressed so fast! Did you really manage to hook up with your idol? That's impressive! You've already made it official. You really have the courage to be a celebrity!"

Yu Li's phone call was packed with information, leaving Qi Xi, who was completely bewildered, utterly confused.

"Lili, what are you talking about? What do you mean you got together with Zhouzhou? Are you kidding me? And what do you mean by 'official announcement'? I don't understand what you're talking about at all."

Upon hearing this, Yu Li realized something was wrong and showed her the video on her phone.

"Wasn't this video a song that He Ran wrote specifically for you to confess his feelings, and also announcing your relationship publicly on Weibo?"

Upon seeing the video, Qi Xi's drowsiness vanished instantly, and she snatched the phone away.

"It's true that I filmed the video, but Zhouzhou was drunk last night, and I just took it casually to cheer him up. How could it have been uploaded online? That's impossible. I used Zhouzhou's phone, how could the video have been leaked?"

From these words, Yu Li deduced a possibility: "So the truth last night should be that He Ran was drunk and asked you to record a video of him with his phone."

"Then, he may have uploaded the video to Weibo while he was not fully conscious. Although it was a misunderstanding, it was probably a misunderstanding that was difficult to explain."

Moreover, this Weibo post was made around 1 a.m. last night, and the Weibo account exploded immediately after it was posted.

It's easy to imagine that, given Zhou Heran's influence in the entertainment industry, even a simple concert of his would trend on social media.

Moreover, Zhou Heran, who has been in the industry for ten years and has never had any scandals, actually posted such an ambiguous video on his own Weibo.

Not to mention netizens, even Yu Li and the others, who had just had dinner with Zhou Heran last night, thought that Qi Xi was really with Zhou Heran when they first saw the video.

It's no wonder that people online are discussing whether Zhou Heran posted this video to officially announce his relationship.

Qi Xi immediately panicked: "This is a misunderstanding! What should we do? Will it affect Zhou Zhou's career and image?"

As a die-hard fan of Zhou Heran, Qi Xi's desire to get closer to her idol is something no fan could resist.

However, if it would affect her idol, Qi Xi would naturally choose to keep her distance from Qi.

"It's okay, Xixi, don't worry too much. He Ran has a very professional public relations team behind him. As long as we explain the situation clearly, we can issue a clarification later and everything should be fine."

Just as Yu Li finished speaking, Zhou Heran exclaimed "Holy crap!" from the next room.

Clearly, Zhou Heran, who had just been woken up by Qi Chenyan and was still not fully conscious after opening the door, was completely jolted awake by Qi Chenyan's unexpected move.

"I recorded this? I posted it? But speaking of which, the melody of this new song is pretty good. Could it be that when I drink, the stimulation of alcohol really does trigger a burst of inspiration?"

"But who is this girl who's speaking? Her voice sounds familiar..."

Zhou Heran is different from Qi Chenyan. Although Qi Chenyan was drunk last night, he remembered everything that happened last night very clearly.

Zhou Heran, on the other hand, seemed to have shut down his brain, having no record of that memory whatsoever.

Qi Chenyan said lightly, "My niece."

Zhou Heran exclaimed "Holy crap!" again: "Little Qi Xi? Oh my god, I don't remember anything from last night? Did I do something beastly to Little Qi Xi while I was singing and playing the piano?"

Although Zhou Heran had gotten drunk before, it was always with his brothers, including Qi Chenyan.

A few grown men, when they get drunk, just lie down on the bed, and when they wake up it's the next day, they basically don't cause any trouble.

"No, no, Zhouzhou, you didn't do anything to me. You were drunk last night and said you had a burst of inspiration and asked me to record it for you. But I didn't expect you to upload it online. If I had known, I would have stopped you."

Qi Xi, who was in the next room, had also heard what Zhou Heran had just said, and she hurried over to explain what had happened last night.

Hearing this, Zhou Heran breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that I didn't do anything wrong."

"These are minor matters. The most important thing now is to clarify this misunderstanding. Zhouzhou, you should clarify it quickly so as not to affect your reputation."

Zhou Heran didn't care, but when he picked up his phone, he found that it was completely out of battery.

I just plugged it in and found 99+ calls and 99+ messages.

His phone was bombarded with calls and messages until it ran out of battery.

The moment I turned on the phone, my agent called again.

As soon as Zhou Heran answered the phone, his agent roared from the other end.

“Zhou Heran, are you trying to get yourself killed?! What’s going on?! I won’t stop you from dating, but you didn’t report it to the company, or even give us a heads-up, and just announced it on Weibo.”

"Do you know that my phone has been ringing off the hook all night? My PR team has been working all night, and they can't even get the trending topics off the screen!"
