Chapter 64 If you're not straight and don't even like women, what's going on...?

One Yuan: [Image]

[One Yuan: This message has been retracted]

After several hours of psychological warfare, Shi Yao finally won over the other side.

After Shi Yao sent that request for photos, Xiao Qi, who loves learning, didn't send any messages for several minutes. She guessed that the other party had probably gone to consult with the strategist in the group.

This shows that the other party is already considering sending the photos, because if they really didn't want to send them, they would have refused directly instead of hesitating for so long and asking their friends for their opinion.

After chatting for so long, Shi Yao could roughly sense that Xiao Qi was a very studious person. She was probably not very old and didn't have a job yet, most likely a college student. In her small group, she had a lot of influence, but not the most. The most influential person in the group was the only one with connections who followed the offline community. Even posting photos required this person's permission.

But Xiao Qi is very studious, so he must have a good relationship with the person in the photo. He must be one of the closest people in the group. If he were just an outsider, he would never dare to discuss posting photos with Shi Yao. He might not even have the photos in his possession.

During the chat, Xiao Qi, who loves learning, disappeared several times on and off. Shi Yao guessed that he was probably going to call for help or find a strategist. The two probably didn't agree at first. Every time Xiao Qi, who loves learning, disappeared and reappeared, his tone would become a bit stiff. But later, for some reason, the two seemed to reach a consensus, and Xiao Qi started to speak freely.

Shi Yao hasn't forgotten her public image. She hasn't given up on the matter of the photos and has been advising the other side's fans not to be upset about it, while also warning them from time to time not to try to leak the information.

This made the person on the other end feel more at ease with her identity, and thus more willing to send her photos.

Shi Yao originally thought that Xiao Qi was very eager to learn and would at least hesitate until tomorrow before trying to ask her for photos again. Unexpectedly, the other party was so eager that he couldn't wait even one night. Seeing that the chat was about to end, he couldn't wait to ask again, which made it convenient for Shi Yao to throw the question back at him.

Seeing that Xiao Qi was very interested in learning, Shi Yao knew that it was probably a sure thing. The biggest challenge was the person who provided the photos. As long as that person was willing to agree, Xiao Qi would definitely send the photos over.

She stared at her phone screen, not daring to move, afraid of missing the photo that might suddenly appear on the other end.

Persistence pays off. After waiting for six or seven minutes, the other party suddenly sent a photo, which was then withdrawn about twenty seconds later.

Shi Yao had already guessed that even if the other side was willing to send the picture, they would withdraw it. After all, no one wants their trump card to be kept by the other side. However, Shi Yao's hand speed was extremely fast, and she had been waiting in front of the screen. The moment she saw the photo, she immediately clicked to save it.

Great, we've got the most important hammer.

But she didn't forget her persona, and after two minutes, she slowly started typing a reply.

[User: ? What did you retract?]

She's now a die-hard fan of Zhou Qixue, possessing countless solid evidence photos, and doesn't care whether Xiao Qi posts pictures or not. She always replies to messages slowly, so how could she possibly be looking at her phone screen all the time?

Not to mention that the other party disappeared for so long before suddenly reappearing to post photos, only to delete them in less than twenty seconds, so naturally she couldn't have seen them.

[One Yuan: I posted a picture, didn't you see it, sister?]

[User: I wasn't looking at my phone, how could I have seen you retract your message so quickly? [facepalm]]

The other side remained silent for half a minute.

[One Yuan: Oh... because I didn't take this photo. She told me I could post it, but I had to delete it immediately.]

[One Yuan: She's also afraid of having her posts saved and then shared, sister, please don't mind.]

[User: I know, but don't back out so quickly. I don't check my phone all the time, and comparing facial features takes time. Let me know in advance if you're going to post it.]

After saying that, the person on the other end disappeared again. Shi Yao guessed that they must have gone to seek the opinions of the strategists again.

A minute later, the other person returned, and their tone seemed much more relaxed.

[One Yuan: Sister, are you there?]

[User: ?]

[One Yuan: I know it takes you time to compare facial features, but the photo has to be withdrawn. I'll send you a video in a bit. Look at the photo in the video and tell me the result. Don't screen record during the video, okay?]

[One Yuan: You can just slap the table, no need to slap your face]

【user:……】

[User: Okay, I'll try my best]

In fact, Shi Yao had already saved the photos to her album, but in order to maintain her persona, she had to insist that she hadn't seen anything and even had to sound a little impatient.

A video call popped up on the other end of the line. Shi Yao turned the camera to the rear, covered it with a piece of paper, and then answered the call.

When the call connected, it was completely dark on the other end. Then, a rustling sound was heard as the camera panned to another phone screen, which displayed the photo that had just been sent to Shi Yao and then withdrawn.

Xiao Qi's studious voice rang out from the other end; it definitely sounded like a very young girl: "Sister, are you watching?"

Shi Yao lowered her voice and replied in a different tone, "I'm looking at it, it's a bit blurry, let me compare it."

"Okay, oh okay, sis, take your time reading."

Shi Yao started making some noise on the other side, creating the illusion that she was also looking for photos to compare. Her fingers kept swiping around on the screen, making tapping noises, as if she was zooming in and out to see the details.

About two minutes later, Xiao Qi, who loved learning and couldn't help but ask, "Sister, did you figure it out?"

Shi Yao sighed slowly and said, "Although it's a bit blurry and not from a single perspective, it is definitely the same person. This is the person he has been talking about."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qi, who was eager to learn, visibly became breathless and said impatiently, "Sister, can I see your photo? You can take a picture of me with your camera too."

But Shi Yao remained unmoved: "No, I told you I won't send it."

Xiao Qi paused, then gave a disheartened "Oh," but she soon heard some exciting news. Shi Yao said, "If you take my photos now, I'll feel very insecure. I know you don't want to release them, but the probability of that happening is uncertain, so I can't show them to you for now. If you're willing to wait, I'll show them to you in a few days when you've calmed down."

Xiao Qi excitedly agreed, "No problem, sister, I can wait. I definitely won't send it out!"

No, she will definitely release it. As soon as she gets the picture and compares the identities of the two people, she will release it immediately.

Since this woman hasn't posted any photos these past few days, she'll just gather the gossip and wait for the solid evidence to come out before making any moves.

Xiao Qi loved learning and had made all the plans in her mind before happily hanging up the phone.

After hanging up, she suddenly paused for a moment. Wait, she's sure the person in question has been exposed, so why is she still so happy?

My senior just messaged me, asking how the photos were coming along.

[Kissing Senior: Xiao Qi, how's it going? Did they send anything?]

[Xiao Qi: No, I listened to you and video-chatted with her. She watched it intently for several minutes, she was really comparing them. I could hear her fingernails swiping across the screen.]

[Xiao Qi: She said it's the same person, and Zhou Qixue has been talking to her non-stop]

[Xiao Qi: But she didn't send me the photos, saying she was afraid we would spread them around.]

[Xiao Qi: But she promised to post it in a few days, saying we should talk about it after we've calmed down]

[Xiao Qi: I'll make the melon strips first.]

[Kissing Senior: Are you afraid it will get leaked if you post this now, but you won't be afraid if you post it in a few days?]

[Kissing Senior: Something's a little strange...]

[Xiao Qi: Is it strange? It's alright. This woman definitely has something going on. She revealed quite a bit when we chatted, and she really dotes on ZQX. It's not surprising that she'll always protect him.]

[Kissing Senior: What I find strange isn't that she refuses to post pictures, but that she refuses to post them now and then agrees to post them a few days later...]

[Kissing Senior: I'm really afraid it will get leaked, so I definitely won't post it no matter what.]

[Kissing Senior: Could she have just made up a fake picture to trick you out of it?]

Xiao Qi: ...

Xiao Qi: Really?

[Xiao Qi: But I don't think so. She knows a lot of information, that's for sure. The reason she agreed to post it was because I was just acting. I acted like I didn't care at all whether we were dating or not, that I wouldn't break down or run away. I was just curious about who my sister-in-law would be, that's why I asked for the photo.]

[Xiao Qi: At first, she absolutely refused to send me the photos, but she finally agreed after seeing that I wasn't really on my guard. I told her that I had absolutely no intention of running away.]

[Kiss Senior: ...Is that so?]

[Kissing Senior: But I still feel something's off]

[Kissing Senior: Never mind, as long as we get the picture, that's fine. Remember to keep urging us to get it these next few days, we absolutely have to get it.]

After calming down her partner, Xiaohe was finally able to lie back down on the bed to rest, pondering how to naturally ask Shiyao for photos in the future.

Having decided to take responsibility for the collapse, she became unusually calm. The initial breakdown and despair she felt upon learning of the situation had vanished, and her mind was exceptionally clear. She was only thinking about how to make melon strips in the simplest and clearest way.

She wasn't completely against dating. Before deciding to pursue male celebrities, Xiaohe knew that dating was inevitable, and there weren't many people in the Chinese entertainment industry who could completely control themselves.

Especially for these new generation of "resource-rich" celebrities, no matter how good their achievements or how much traffic they have, they will always have the resources to promote them. They can easily obtain countless good resources, achieve good results without needing fans, and they don't care about the opinions and feelings of their fans.

These celebrities who have access to resources have it too easy. They've had a smooth ride since their debut. They might be a little more humble and sincere when they're not famous, but once they become famous, they probably forget all that. After all, fans aren't that important to them.

It doesn't matter if the current fans leave, as long as the resources keep coming in, new fans will keep pouring in.

Xiaohe initially couldn't accept the idea of ​​dating, but she gradually relaxed and thought that as long as the person she was pursuing was on the rise and focused on his career without doing anything else, she wouldn't object to dating once he achieved success in his career.

However, this does not include the fact that Zhou Qixue could have been dating before his debut and has kept it a secret until now. While he was being sweet and loving with his partner, he maintained a single persona and was very enthusiastic in charming his female fans, making his boyfriend persona quite solid.

It's not that celebrities aren't allowed to date before they became famous, but you can't commit fraud. If Zhou Qixue had immediately announced that he had a girlfriend outside the industry after entering the circle, without creating a single persona, without flirting with other women, and without creating a CP with other female celebrities, and had just openly and honestly announced to everyone that he had a girlfriend, then Xiao He would have thought more highly of him and praised him for being responsible.

But if you're in a relationship while simultaneously claiming to be single and trying to hook up with female fans, that's deliberate deception, greed, hypocrisy, and wanting to have your cake and eat it too.

Xiaohe can't stand being deceived.

In fact, if someone can maintain a relationship for this long after entering the entertainment industry, they can be praised for their loyalty. But Zhou Qixue chose to deceive everyone, which Xiaohe simply cannot accept.

Although she knew that Zhou Qixue was backed by a big company and had powerful backers, and that his resources were limited and would continue to be available, even if she created the scandal that exposed their relationship, it would only have a slight impact on Zhou Qixue.

His company has a strong ability to manipulate public opinion. They had been quietly building momentum for him without him backfiring, which was also because they had connections with multiple marketing companies.

Xiaohe is just an ordinary fan. At most, she knows a few KOLs and big influencers. The most powerful and closest person to the industry in their group is her senior, but she can only find out some schedule information. She is relatively familiar with the paparazzi, but she doesn't know much else.

For these people to try to fight against Zhou Qixue's company is like throwing an egg against a rock.

But it doesn't matter, she has to post it.

They used to think it was a shared secret, and they assumed Zhou Qixue would break up soon, so they were secretly pleased with his obedience.

Now that she realized the other person had never taken them seriously and was still dating with great arrogance, how could Xiaohe not be angry?

She lay in bed, sorted out her thoughts, adjusted her mood, picked up her phone again, and opened the small group chat with over 99 unread messages.

She wanted to share the results she had just learned with the other women in the group so that everyone could make melon strips together.

This time, Zhou Qixue had to remember them no matter what.

...

Shi Yao had no idea what Zhou Qixue was feeling, nor did she care what his fans thought. She sat back down at her computer desk, staring intently at the picture on the screen.

The image that was magnified on the screen was the one that "Xiao Qi loves to learn" had just sent her and then deleted.

She naturally didn't have any other photos, nor could she do any facial feature comparisons like she had just fooled Xiao Qi. After receiving a positive answer from the system, she immediately contacted several paparazzi in the proxy photography group and asked them to take photos of Zhou Qixue, guaranteeing that she could get the pictures within three days.

Although it's impossible to compare facial features, this photo is still very interesting.

Shi Yao didn't have time to watch it when she first saved it, and it wasn't very clear in the video call, so she didn't see it clearly either. She only had time to watch it after she hung up the phone.

Who knew that when Shi Yao calmed down and zoomed in to take a closer look, she was startled.

Zhou Qixue's fans didn't notice anything wrong with this photo.

Xiao Qi loves the photo that Zhou Qixue sent her. It was a picture of the crew leaving get off work. When Zhou Qixue was on set, he would drive his RV to the fenced area inside the hotel every day. He would guard the area tightly when getting in and out of the RV. Fans who wanted to follow him offline were kept outside the fence and couldn't get close, so they couldn't take any pictures.

I don't know how that person in Xiao Qi's group managed to post such a clear picture. It shows Zhou Qixue getting out of the car. He's wearing casual clothes, but he hasn't taken off his hood yet, and his facial features are clearly exposed in front of the camera.

His left arm was around a person who was slightly smaller than him, his chin gently close to the person's ear, almost as if he were completely embedding the person in his arms. He had a smile on his face, and his behavior was very intimate, clearly indicating that their relationship was not ordinary.

The person he was holding was wearing a baseball cap and had his head down. His right eye was partially covered, but his left eye and most of his face were exposed. He looked quite handsome and had a decent appearance. Although he wasn't good enough to become an artist, he was considered good-looking among ordinary people.

The filming took place in the summer, and both of them were dressed in light clothing. Zhou Qixue was wearing a loose black t-shirt and shorts, while the person he was with was wearing a matching white t-shirt and shorts, clearly a couple's outfit.

Even just looking at this photo, it's clear that the two are a couple.

But Shi Yao's surprise lies not in this. Although this photo is enough as evidence, she will definitely collect more.

The level of intimacy in this photo is actually not too bad. Although you can tell that the two are a couple, it's not too cringe-worthy. They're just walking together, hugging each other. At most, you could say they're being a little too lovey-dovey.

Shi Yao was surprised because she noticed that the "girlfriend" Zhou Qixue was embracing in the photo looked like a man!

At first glance, she didn't recognize him because the person's hair wasn't short; it had a Japanese boyish look, with a wolf tail at the back and hair peeking out from under a baseball cap. Moreover, the person had extremely fair skin, delicate features, and a much petite figure compared to Zhou Qixue, making him appear somewhat androgynous.

Shi Yao also zoomed in on the picture and observed it for a long time before confirming that the person had an Adam's apple and that the joints and bones did not look very similar to those of a woman before she could barely determine that the person was a man.

Upon discovering this, she gasped. She had only wanted to expose Zhou Qixue's long-standing relationship so that Ye Jingyu could effortlessly break off their on-screen romance.

Who would have thought that Ye Jingyu's rumored boyfriend, who is currently in a popular on-screen couple relationship, is actually gay!

To confirm that she had not made a mistake, Shi Yao specifically sought the system's assistance in making the judgment. The system was initially very resistant, but eventually gave in to her persistent pleading and helped her determine her identity while saying that it was against the rules.

After the final tests were completed, it was confirmed that the "sister-in-law" was indeed a man.

Shi Yao's expression instantly became incredibly varied.

If the orders hadn't just started, she would have rushed over to share this gossip with Ye Jingyu and told her that she no longer needed to worry about that annoying CP partner because he was gay!

This Zhou Qixue is truly a pleasant surprise; he talks about big things right away.

Shi Yao had originally thought that even if Zhou Qixue's matter was exposed, there were ways to clarify it.

For example, he has always been dating the same person, without messing around or being fickle. If the company wants to help him improve his reputation, they will definitely start with his loyalty. After all, fans' standards are getting lower and lower. Basically, as long as it's not illegal or criminal, they can accept anything else. Some people who have done illegal things still have a large number of loyal fans.

Male celebrities can easily make a comeback. Zhou Qixue's biggest flaw is not that he keeps dating, but that not only does he date, but he also claims to be single, and he also flirts with women while frantically creating on-screen couples, deceiving everyone.

However, once the hype surrounding this scandal subsides, and the company does some marketing to portray him as a devoted and good man, the CP hype will have long since died down, and fewer people will be clinging to him. Even if the fans who initially came because of the drama and the CP won't come back, at least he can continue to attract new fans.

Shi Yao had been thinking about how to deal with this matter. She had taken Ye Jingyu's order, so she had to help her completely solve the problem. If she only temporarily solved Zhou Qixue's problem and it resurfaced soon after, it would not be good for her reputation.

But Zhou Qixue didn't mess around at all, so even if she were to expose him, she could only expose his relationships and fraud, not his chaotic private life.

As fate would have it, Zhou Qixue's boyfriend turned out to be a man!

She doesn't have any opinion about homosexuality, but the current situation in China is not that open. There are actually several openly gay people in the community, but none of them dare to openly reveal their sexual orientation.

Moreover, as far as she knew, there were actually quite a few gay and bisexual celebrities in the industry, but they all claimed to be straight and heterosexual to the outside world. There was no other reason; they had to do it if they wanted to survive in this industry.

If an artist is found to be gay, their career opportunities will definitely be affected; this is an undeniable fact.

And there's something even more important: Zhou Qixue is gay and has always had a boyfriend outside the entertainment industry. He has absolutely no interest in women, yet he has cultivated a boyfriend persona since his debut, easily seducing Meng Nu and even creating a crazy CP (couple pairing) with Ye Jingyu.

Now, fans of the couple all think he loves Ye Jingyu very much, and they make wishes for their wedding and wedding date every day in the super topic. When he was interviewed, he also described his ideal type based on Ye Jingyu's characteristics.

If a straight man portrays himself to this extent, only to be discovered to be gay, then the sin is not just about secretly dating and deceiving people.

Let's say Zhou Qixue is a straight man who has always had a girlfriend outside the entertainment industry. His recent frantic efforts to create a romantic pairing with another woman would definitely be criticized as fraudulent, insincere, and unscrupulous in his pursuit of fame. Most of the couple's fans would likely abandon Ye Jingyu or the other woman.

But he's a womanizer. He's had a boyfriend outside the entertainment industry and keeps pairing up female celebrities to create on-screen couples. When the fans of those couples found out about this, they weren't just angry, they were disgusted.

You don't even like women, so how dare you pair up female celebrities to create a romantic image and then try to cultivate a persona for yourself to purify your ideal woman?

They want it all, they're insatiable.

Shi Yao woke up instantly. If more solid evidence was obtained and the matter was exposed, the final result would be even better than she had imagined.
