Chapter 68, a mere three minutes of chaos, could fill thousands of words...

Xiaohe had to admit that when she saw her senior's last few words, her brain went blank for a long time. The information she received far exceeded her processing capacity, and it took her a full minute to fully understand what the other person meant.

Judging from the current situation, Zhou Qixue's relationship has already been exposed. She didn't even have time to post the gossip she had stayed up all night to prepare, and someone else beat her to it, and the content they revealed was much more detailed than what she had done.

Xiaohe didn't know how to reply to the message for a moment. Anyway, the other party wasn't questioning her. The senior had already realized that she wasn't the one who leaked the information. She was just anxious about why Xiaohe wasn't online. The last few sentences seemed like the other party was about to call the police if Xiaohe didn't go online soon.

She casually typed a reply to indicate that she was online, then logged out and looked through the other unread messages. They were almost all from mutual friends in the industry, and the messages were all, without exception, expressing shock and panic.

Some of them were her close friends who knew she liked Zhou Qixue and came to comfort and care for her after seeing the house collapse incident trending on social media.

Xiaohe is currently in no mood to pay attention to anyone's concern. It's hard to say how many people are genuinely concerned; some seem to just want to see Xiaohe make a fool of herself.

She casually replied to all her other friends in the industry, saying that she had just woken up and was unaware of the situation.

After finishing her unread messages, Xiaohe rushed to Weibo. She was stunned by the scene on the trending topics list. Eight out of the top ten were about Zhou Qixue, and the number one post had already become a "hot" topic, far more popular than Ye Jingyu's report.

She randomly opened a few trending search terms and could see that these were genuinely trending, not the kind of trending topics that were bought with money. Regardless of their ranking, the number of discussions was very high.

#Zhou Qixue and Ye Jingyu CP#

The entire Shanxi-Northwest region was in complete chaos. Zhou Qixue had simultaneously swept both the main charts and the entertainment charts, becoming incredibly popular.

Xiaohe was speechless from the shock of the trending topics. For a moment, she didn't even know which one to click on first. She didn't know why she woke up to this situation after taking a nap. She was even someone who was mentally prepared beforehand. If she was so shocked by all this, how must those who were unprepared feel?

She clicked on the top trending topic, the one about boyfriends. Actually, Zhou Qixue had been on the trending topic once before, but that time it was to promote his boyfriend power, and she had even helped to boost the trending topic. Who would have thought that she would see this topic again for this reason?

When Xiaohe opened the trending search terms, she found that the hosts of the terms were even the same familiar marketing accounts that had used the term before, which made her both amused and exasperated.

Those marketing accounts have been working with Zhou Qixue's team for a long time and would not release any press releases that are detrimental to him. At this moment, there is not a single familiar face on the trending topics page, and the few posts on the hot topics page are all from unfamiliar marketing accounts.

The number one trending topic has already been forwarded over 30,000 times, with a whopping 80,000 comments and millions of likes. The data is still growing rapidly. This number is even higher than what Zhou Qixue himself could achieve when he posts on Weibo. Xiao He suddenly had a very unethical idea: she really wanted to interview Zhou Qixue himself to find out how he felt about being so popular now.

She spent half the day following the trending topics and finally discovered that it all started with a relatively unknown paparazzi. He posted a teaser at noon, saying that there would be a super explosive bombshell in two hours. However, given that he didn't have any previous record of breaking news, not many people paid attention to the post. Even those who did saw it thought he was just trying to grab attention and that it would just be a false alarm.

This paparazzi is so obscure that even other platforms haven't reposted his teaser post; nobody cares at all.

But half an hour later, he posted a new one, with a blurry picture and a few keywords. Netizens who love gossip deduced from this information that the person the paparazzi was about to expose was most likely Zhou Qixue. Subsequently, some people moved the post to other platforms, and this teaser post began to gain popularity, attracting a lot of attention to the paparazzi's Weibo account.

Zhou Qixue's fans were initially happy about Ye Jingyu's negative publicity and reputation collapsing, and they were even holding a giveaway to celebrate. Suddenly, they saw this post, and their celebration had just begun when the fire started. Zhou Qixue's fans were naturally very angry, feeling that this was Ye Jingyu's team doing to divert attention. So they made no attempt to hide their anger and started cursing Ye Jingyu.

As for the paparazzi himself, he was completely ignored by Zhou Qixue's fans, because they all believed that Zhou Qixue could not possibly have any scandals exposed. The paparazzi said this just to attract attention, and in the end, he would not publish anything, or he would only publish something trivial.

In recent years, paparazzi in the entertainment industry have been doing this every time they release a story: they use increasingly bold keywords in their previews, often mentioning top-tier national celebrities, but when the story is finally released, the celebrities are so obscure that no one recognizes them.

Zhou Qixue was definitely framed this time. The exact content of the final revelation is irrelevant. The biggest impact of these paparazzi on celebrities is the period before the revelation is announced, during which netizens speculate. During this time, all sorts of outrageous speculations can be made, and because there is no official revelation, it is impossible to refute them. Although the final revelation is just nonsense, the damage caused by those malicious speculations will not be small.

The most unlucky person in the industry right now is Ye Jingyu, who is currently trending on social media and being criticized by everyone. With Ye Jingyu in such a bad situation, the one who benefits the most is Zhou Qixue, followed by her rival artists in the same field. Zhou Qixue and Ye Jingyu have a very popular on-screen couple, which brings a lot of traffic to both of them, with Zhou Qixue reaping more benefits.

Every couple eventually splits up, separates, and refines itself; the only difference is when they start.

Zhou Qixue's fans are well aware that Zhou Qixue has a great advantage in the upcoming battle to purify the fanbase. Basically, as long as he stays steady and doesn't make any mistakes, he can at least attract most of the CP fans. This is why the solo fans are very impatient with the constant hype surrounding the CP, but they still manage to tolerate it. After all, many of them are not only girlfriend fans but also career fans, and they all hope that their idol's career will become more and more popular and that their resources will become better and better.

No one expected Ye Jingyu to fire the first shot in the purification process. Zhou Qixue's fans always thought she wouldn't take the initiative to start this, since she wasn't in a good position and hadn't attracted many CP fans yet, so naturally the later the better.

A few experienced fans realized that Ye Jingyu's misfortune this time was mostly due to the actions of Zhou Qixue's team. They were happy to see this situation, as it showed that Ye Jingyu was not love-struck and was just working hard to become famous. As for the other casual fans who couldn't see the reason, everyone helped to keep it a secret.

Ye Jingyu's incident was clearly premeditated. The person who leaked the information and the person who later made it trend on social media worked together very well. Although it wasn't actually a big deal, Ye Jingyu's company was inexperienced and couldn't handle it, so they actually created the illusion that her career had seriously collapsed.

Originally, Zhou Qixue's fans thought that after this incident, the CP would definitely be able to break up without pain, and they would no longer have to worry about the issue of being exploited. Ye Jingyu, this annoying colleague, could also get out of there. But they didn't expect that after only one night of happiness, Zhou Qixue was also exposed.

Thus, the two sides officially began their melee. Although Ye Jingyu didn't have many fans, she wasn't completely without any either. The reason she couldn't fight back before was twofold: firstly, Zhou Qixue's fans were indeed much stronger than Ye's fans; secondly, the incident happened suddenly. They had to help Ye Jingyu clarify things everywhere and stop those malicious people from deliberately smearing and exaggerating. Ye Jingyu appeared on a bunch of trending topics in one go, and Ye's fans couldn't keep up with it, so naturally they didn't have time to fight with Zhou Qixue's fans.

At this moment, things seemed to take a turn for the better. Zhou Qixue started trending on social media, while Ye Jingyu's trending topics gradually declined as her popularity decreased. Ye Jingyu's fans were able to free up resources to deal with the battle between Zhou Qixue's fans and Ye Jingyu's fans.

The two sides continued arguing for over an hour until the paparazzi posted the real exposé. In the middle of the argument, not a single one of Zhou Qixue's fans went to talk to the paparazzi. Everyone ignored the paparazzi's existence, thinking he didn't have anything to reveal.

But two hours later, the paparazzi went online and posted on Weibo, posting several posts in quick succession, each one containing solid evidence with ultra-clear photos. Each post was more explosive than the last, shocking both fans and casual observers. The popularity of the post quickly rose and became unstoppable.

[@GunBroV: Two hours have passed, are you all asleep? If not, GunBro will give you some gossip, guaranteed sweet, guaranteed big, guaranteed explosive. Many friends have already guessed who I'm going to expose in the previous preview post. He's good-looking, has a lot of female fans, is currently in a hit drama, and has a popular on-screen couple. That's right, this person is the current hottest star, the newlywed husband Zhou Qixue.]

This young man hasn't been in the industry for long, but he has always had a very good public image. Before exposing the scandal, I specifically searched for him everywhere and found that his reputation was excellent. If I hadn't seen those things with my own eyes, I probably wouldn't have believed that such a seemingly perfect person would have such a wonderful private life.

Alright, without further ado, let's get straight to the point. The staff at Gun Bro's studio have actually been following Mr. Zhou for a long time. To the outside world, Mr. Zhou has always been single, but according to the staff, he has always had a girlfriend. He even brings her to the film set when he's filming, and they can't be apart for a moment. It's really sweet.

According to the investigation, Mr. Zhou's partner has been dating him since before his debut, which means that the two have been in a sweet relationship for so long. Mr. Zhou is a very devoted person. Thumbs up to you, Gun Bro!

However, recently, I (Gun Bro) discovered that this isn't quite the case. Mr. Zhou's house seems quite lively; perhaps "devoted to one thing" should be changed to "devoted to two, three..." Stay tuned for Gun Bro's next post for more.

[@InsiderGunGeV: Rising star Zhou Qixue is hiding his "girlfriend" in his trailer on set, and his relationships with his colleagues are quite distant. The real reason? Sources reveal that Mr. Zhou rarely speaks to any other actors on set, and immediately returns to his trailer after each scene. The reason? He can't bear the separation from his "girlfriend," and goes back immediately after work. [Images][Images][Images][Images]]

[@GunBrotherV: An industry insider revealed to me that Mr. Zhou Qixue reportedly doesn't socialize with anyone on set and has no friends on set. He completely refuses to communicate in private, which I find very surprising. I always thought Mr. Zhou Qixue and Ms. Ye Jingyu had a good relationship; their on-screen interactions were really sweet. I still remember Mr. Zhou's interviews. I never imagined that such a deeply moving scene was acted by two complete strangers! [Images][Images][Audio Link] (The audio has been altered to protect privacy)]

[@GunnerV: I just finished work and couldn't wait to drive home. When I got out of the car, I was seen hugging my "girlfriend" and getting out with her. After some investigation, I realized that the "girlfriend" was actually my "boyfriend". Three hours later, a strange man knocked on the door. When I opened the door, Mr. Zhou hugged and kissed him passionately.]

The Weibo posts were increasingly explosive, but the paparazzi's tone was so smug that Xiaohe couldn't help but laugh after reading them.

She's still a fan, and with this series of scandals happening, she should be heartbroken and sad. How come she doesn't feel sad at all and just wants to laugh?

The data for these revelations is excellent, with each post receiving over 100,000 comments. Who would have thought that this paparazzi, whom no one paid attention to, would actually be able to break real juicy stories, and even release four in a row, each more explosive than the last.

The first post was a kind of preview summary. After it was posted, many people mocked him for deliberately making up a story. There were still traces of mockery in the top comments. Although most of the people who mocked him quietly deleted their comments after the gunman later released solid evidence, a small number of stubborn fans refused to delete them, and everyone who passed by would go in and laugh.

The next three points are all solid evidence. Ignoring the cheesy content of the post, the pictures, audio, and video he shared are undeniably conclusive. The high-definition quality makes it impossible for even the most stubborn fan to deny that it was Zhou Qixue.

Xiaohe read through all the posts one by one and found that the content of the first three posts matched what she knew.

He's been dating since his debut, has a fake persona, hides his sister-in-law on set, has no communication with his colleagues, has no friends on set, rarely socializes, brings a campervan so he can keep his sister-in-law with him at all times, and his relationship with Ye Jingyu isn't even close; they're just colleagues who collaborated on creating a CP (couple pairing)...

She knew all of this. Some of it she knew before she saw the anonymous post. For example, Zhou Qixue's CP (couple pairing) was just a work requirement and he wasn't actually dating Ye Jingyu. Also, Zhou Qixue and Ye Jingyu's relationship was just average, which is why she was able to desensitize herself to their CP promotion. Another example was the fact that the crew hid the sister-in-law. At the time, their group chat was so sensitive because it was a huge breach of their defenses that it took them a long time to recover.

However, there were some things she only found out last night after seeing that post, such as having been in a relationship before her debut and continuing to do so for so long, and that her persona was all fake... These were also the motivations that prompted her to compile the gossip posts, but she didn't expect that someone else would post them first, and that the other person would post even more.

As for the later claims such as "the sister-in-law is actually a man," "the sister-in-law is suspected to be more than one," and "she brought her boyfriend home for a sweet time after work," these are beyond Xiaohe's comprehension.

Sister-in-law... is a man? Zhou Qi's boyfriend is a man? Is he gay?

There was even a final one, where a new boyfriend appeared, and Zhou Qixue and he hugged and kissed right at the door. This last one completely shut Xiaohe down.

Zhou Qixue, your private life has become quite rich.

Xiaohe had never considered the possibility that Zhou Qixue was gay. She had even completely accepted that Zhou Qixue loved dating, had been deceiving fans, and had created a false persona. He had been talking about these things, which were devastating to fans, since before his debut.

But she never expected that Zhou Qixue's conversations would involve men! And more than one of them!

Xiaohe finally calmed down and opened the last video. She was almost overwhelmed as soon as she started watching. The paparazzi's camera was just too high-definition. She couldn't even comfort herself.

The camera angle was directly facing Zhou Qixue's door, clearly capturing the man in the sports car stopping in front of Zhou Qixue's door, getting out of the car with a bouquet of flowers, opening the door, and Zhou Qixue's face being fully and clearly exposed in front of the camera. The two then hugged, followed by a brief kiss, before being interrupted by a third man from inside the door. The three of them then went inside and closed the door together.

In just three minutes, a story that could not be told in thousands of words unfolded.

Xiaohe was stunned. This video was like Thor's hammer. Even the most eloquent fans would be silenced after seeing this video. She switched to the profile of a popular fan account and refreshed her friends' circle. She found that her mutual followers were unusually quiet, and the latest post on the homepage was from five hours ago.

After the paparazzi posted the exposé, all of her mutual followers fell silent, not uttering a single word, perhaps because they didn't know what to say; it was simply too shocking.

The comments on those Weibo posts that broke the news were all very high, but the two highest were the one with the video and the one related to the production crew. One was because the Thor's hammer was so explosive that netizens were stunned, and the other was because the CP fans were incredibly powerful. Since last night, the CP fans had been in a state of high intensity online battles, and had already insulted all of Ye Jingyu's fans. At this moment, a post that broke the news suddenly appeared, making the CP fans realize that they seemed to have insulted the wrong person. The real liar was someone else.

It was only after a moment's realization that everything they had been following for the past two months was fake, and that the fact that they were so proud of being able to eat "food cooked by the real person" every day was also a fabrication by Zhou Qixue, that they were naturally unable to resist the temptation.

[This is all made up; he didn't even know the crew. Zhou Qi is just imitating you.]

[I'm dying of laughter! I told you this couple was ridiculously fake. Every time I mention it, the CP fans say I'm unaccustomed to good pairings and that I'm just jealous. Please, if you've ever really enjoyed a good couple, would you be interested in this kind of obviously fake, artificially sweet pairing?]

If I remember correctly, Zhou Qixue said before that he and Ye Jingyu had a good relationship in private, and that they would chat by voice from time to time, and Ye Jingyu would even consult him about her relationship problems. But it turns out that these two don't even have WeChat. Oh, this...

[I told you long ago not to ship real-person stories from the Chinese entertainment industry. If you do, everyone shuts up. Go ahead and ship them, it's all fake!]

[I ask you, doesn't Zhou Qixue want to tear his hair out when he sees what he said in his own interview? He should at least look at what he said. He practically pointed at Ye Jingyu's name and said, "I have a really good relationship with her, we're really close," when in fact the two of them aren't even acquainted.]

[That damned Zhou Qixue, you dare lie to me! I remember it clearly. The reason I became a fan was because I saw one of his solo interviews. He said the most memorable thing for him on set was when Ye Jingyu was in a bad mood. She had a dog she'd raised for a long time, and they were very close. She missed the dog and couldn't get into character while filming. So Zhou Qixue took her to skip work and go home. The two of them petted the dog at Ye Jingyu's house for four hours, and then went back to the set together. After that, Ye Jingyu was in a better mood. Damn it, it was all a lie!!!]

[Upstairs, I remember this too. We were totally obsessed with this one back then, there was even a debate about whether it was pure love or something more. Some people said they just went back and petted the dog, and that their relationship was completely pure love, while others said that something was bound to happen between them after spending four hours together. The relationship between this couple really changed after that interview, but now it's hard to say whether the dog even exists anymore. I'm really starting to feel like throwing up...]

[I can only say that from the very beginning, this couple was one-sidedly tied to Zhou Qixue. Anyone with a discerning eye could see the difference in their promotional efforts. Ye Jingyu was clearly being promoted by the production team, with all publicity following the show's rhythm. Zhou Qixue, on the other hand, was completely saying, "We're already together, we're a real couple, come and ship us, our relationship is amazing." It was really addictive.]

[Actually, you can create a CP (couple pairing) even if you're not actually dating. After all, these days every idol drama has to create a CP. But you can't do this recklessly. Everyone can accept a little CP creation, and it won't be too painful or unbearable when it ends. You had to make it like this, with everyone thinking you were really dating, only to find out it was all fake. I can only say you deserve to be criticized.]

[So, can those CP fans who kept criticizing Ye Jingyu apologize? They kept telling her to keep her distance, that she wasn't serious about promoting herself, and that she wasn't morally upright. I'm laughing so hard. If you ask me, Ye Jingyu was doing a good deed. She could have easily been like Zhou Qixue and lied to everyone without a care in the world, but she didn't. She knew it was all fake and wouldn't do it intentionally. On the other hand, someone else? They'd give up everything for fame. I can only say the difference in their character is obvious.]
