Xie Chi stood beside her, playing with Su Zhou's fingers.
Her fingers were beautiful, long and white, with light pink tips, and felt smooth like white jade to the touch.
"Bad news." Xie Chi's narrow eyes stared straight at Su Zhou, almost making her blush. Su Zhou enjoyed the feeling of someone playing with her hands, and she pretended to be serious: "It seems our relationship has been exposed."
When it comes to having a keen eye, netizens are definitely the experts.
There was once a male ordinary person who became famous for his natural appearance. He was just one step away from debuting as a celebrity when netizens discovered that he had bullied classmates in school, and his career ended before it even began.
Netizens filled in the details of the other person's life from childhood to adulthood.
Without deliberately searching online, Su Zhou could roughly guess that her information was probably no secret online now, and that everyone knew about her.
Xie Chi placed his fingertip against Su Zhou's lips, a faint smile playing on his thin lips: "What kind of bad news is this?"
"The good news is that your little fans wished us a happy 99th birthday today. It seems everyone is a very nice person." Su Zhou's eyes curved into a smile. She didn't feel anything about Xie Chi's fans or what was said online. She felt that everyone was very nice.
Xie Chi released Su Zhou's fingers, sat down next to her, his long legs looking somewhat awkward. He curled his legs up, took out his phone, and started editing.
Su Zhou got up from the sofa, leaned on his shoulder, and stared at his phone curiously.
"What are you doing, Xie Chi?" Su Zhou could roughly guess what Xie Chi was planning to do. She had long suspected that this day might come, but she never expected it to actually happen.
"Tell everyone."
Xie Chi's voice was cold, and his words were concise and to the point.
Even though Xie Chi has been out of the entertainment industry for over a year, he still has the most followers on social media, with nearly 200 million. This is also true on other social media platforms and short video platforms, making him an undisputed top influencer.
"Isn't that unnecessary? What if someone criticizes you?" Su Zhou grabbed Xie Chi's hand, stopping him from editing any further.
"But I want everyone to know, is that okay?" Xie Chi's slightly eerie eyes held an irresistible plea at this moment, and Su Zhou reluctantly compromised: "Post it, post it, post it. I'll just lie down and let them mock me."
A moment later, Su Zhou saw on her phone that the only two people she followed had posted on Weibo.
[Xie Chi v: How fortunate! @Xiaosuzhou]
It received over a million likes within seconds of being posted.
Completely different from when they first met, seeing Xie Chi right beside her now felt completely different. At least at this moment, Su Zhou felt a deep sense of excitement.
Ten minutes later, Su Zhou whispered, "Are there many people cursing me in the comments section?"
Although she says she doesn't care, many people actually criticize her, and Su Zhou will secretly shed some pearls in private.
Woo woo.
Xie Chi's handsome, pale face remained expressionless. He glanced at a few popular comments and then noticed the nervous expression on Su Zhou's pretty face. "No, but some people are calling me the Su family's son-in-law, saying... I'm lucky to be able to date you."
Su Zhou looked doubtful: "Is that really true?"
She didn't believe it; she really didn't believe it.
Although she doesn't follow celebrities, her roommate in college did.
Generally speaking, male or female celebrities are heavily criticized once their relationships are exposed. And usually, the woman is criticized even more.
Su Zhou took his phone: "Let me see."
—This time I really can't criticize you anymore, I'm just lucky.
—From then on, my brother acquired a brand new identity—the son-in-law of the Su family.
—(Enters with a rose in his mouth) (Grabs Xie Chi's collar) (Grumpy voice) Hey, be nicer to our young lady from now on, understand?
—Hope the young couple lasts 99 years.
…
There are still a few die-hard fans or female fans struggling, but overall the comments section is quite friendly. Scrolling down for a long time, it's mostly filled with words of advice and praise; no one has said anything harsh.
Su Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.
Dad is still the best.
Now I don't have to hide when I go out anymore.
As soon as Su Zhou looked up, she heard Xie Chi's arrogant thoughts beneath his nonchalant expression.
[So many people like Su porridge, including those ugly things, so be sure to watch carefully.]
When will we be able to hold hands in front of everyone?
A relationship that can't be made public is a form of torment.
Nine-Tailed Fox, listen to your own inner thoughts. Is this really reasonable? Is this something a big star should say?
In short, because of his relationship, Xie Chi, despite having retired from the entertainment industry, still logged onto his account to let his fans know that he was still alive, just in a relationship.
This undoubtedly sends a signal to Xie Chi's fans.
That means Xie Chi is very likely living in Wanling Zoo right now. As a result, a large number of fans are following Wanling Zoo's account, and other related accounts of the zoo have also seen a surge in followers, almost comparable to the growth rate of Ahei when he first became popular.
All I can say is that a top star is still a top star.
Another reason is that Xie Chi's appearance and voice are unmatched across the entire internet; he is a true beauty.
Fans hoping to bump into Xie Chi naturally set their sights on tickets for the Wanling Zoo, causing the zoo's tickets to be sold out immediately as soon as they were put on the shelves.
Around the same time, the short film featuring FoxTraces as a spokesperson will also be released.
This advertisement will be played simultaneously on large screens in many shopping malls and on various platforms. Su Zhou has invested a lot of money, and Xie Chi's advertisement can be seen in shopping malls and on large screens in bustling streets.
That face is simply a masterpiece that satisfies human aesthetics; even elderly people who don't follow celebrities at all would stop to take a look.
Regardless, their high-end catering brand, FoxTraces, has finally entered the public eye.
Xie Chi's fans have immense purchasing power, sweeping up all the stores in Fox's Mark. Many of Xie Chi's fans are quite wealthy and don't hold back when it comes to spending. Even though the prices aren't exactly affordable, the taste and ingredients are impeccable.
The reviews on Dianping and ChouTuan are also very good. The most liked comment says this:
"To support Xie Chi, I thought it wouldn't matter if the food was bad, since it was for Xie Chi anyway. But I didn't expect it to taste so good. The ingredients are absolutely top-notch fresh, much better than many Michelin-starred restaurants I've eaten at. As for the price, I think it's good value for money. Most people can afford it if they work hard and share with a few people. In short, if you're picky about the environment and taste, you can consider FoxTraces."
