After He Yu finished saying that, there was a full thirty seconds of blankness on the barrage.
All netizens sat in front of their computers with empty minds and confused looks.
What did they just...hear?!
He Yu clicked his mouse in dissatisfaction, "Huh? Is the computer broken, or is it the network card?"
The next second, barrages of comments flooded in.
【Aa ...
[Is He Yu coming out publicly? ]
[Help me! The couple I was rooting for actually came true! And they’re a same-sex couple!!]
[I just heard shouting outside the dormitory. Are they all surfing the Internet?]
[My mom was shocked. When did they get together? ]
[Brother He, why did you just drop the bomb without even laying the groundwork? ? ? ]
[He Yu, take good care of my Xizi! ! ! ! ]
He Yu couldn't see what they were talking about at all, the comments were overlapping. He put his hand on Luo Shixi's shoulder and leaned down to take a closer look. Luo Shixi turned to the side and looked at him, but the end of his hair brushed his nose, and he hid back with an itchy feeling.
"Hmm?" He Yu made an ambiguous nasal sound.
Luo Shixi asked: "What's wrong?"
"The screen is black." He Yu released the mouse and clicked esc several times but couldn't exit. Finally, he had to shut down and restart.
"The screen is black?" Luo Shixi was shocked.
"Probably," He Yu thought of the countless comments he had just seen and chuckled, "I think it might be more than just this one that will be paralyzed."
He lowered his head and asked Luo Shixi, "Will you be angry if I make it public without your consent?"
"No... Actually, I didn't tell you that I was doing a live broadcast." Luo Shixi hurriedly shook his head and touched the soft fur of Nian Gao in his hand. Nian Gao made a comfortable purring sound.
He Yu picked up Luo Shixi and Nian Gao together, let Luo Shixi sit on his lap, hugged him and opened the browser, tapped the keyboard a few times, and said: "I just thought that if we explain that the two are friends, they have a good relationship in private and often joke around, it's ok, but the truth will come out sooner or later, and we can't hide it forever. If we deny it now and then expose it later, it will only cause more trouble. It's better to admit it directly and be straightforward."
Luo Shixi knew he was explaining to her, so she listened carefully. When He Yu finished speaking, she smiled and replied, "I'll listen to you."
He Yu was touched by his sweetness and pinched the tip of his ear.
Luo Shixi covered his ears and pretended to hide, then lay on He Yu's chest and didn't move.
"As expected, I can't get in. What a pity." He Yu sighed as he looked at the Weibo interface that kept refreshing.
But there wasn't much regret in his tone.
A few minutes ago, netizens who were surfing the Internet watched helplessly as an entry titled #贺余洛时熙自揭恋情# jumped from rank 50 to rank 1. They were shocked and clicked on it, but were stuck just after reading the beginning.
But the app crash could not stop the enthusiasm of many netizens, who went all the way to some forums and some books to eat melons. Even the chat groups that had been silent for hundreds of years came back to life, discussing this shocking gossip.
He Yu and Luo Shixi, the traffic of one of them is so huge that it is unimaginable. When the two of them are combined, the effect is much more terrible than one plus one equals two. It can be said that it is like dropping a depth bomb in the ocean of the Internet, directly triggering a tsunami.
The programmer of the live broadcast app went to work swearing and cursing. Not long after he started working, he found that the programmer of the social app next door had also come to work. Everyone was cursing two bastards, debugging the code with tears in their eyes, and gossiping about them in a humorous way.
“Do you think they are hype or real?”
"It must be true. He has so many fans, there's no need to hype it up."
"Why are you making it public now? I still want to slack off."
"You can just keep your happiness to yourself until it's revealed at midnight."
Luo Shixi's phone received a message notification almost every second. He scratched his hair, selected a few important people to reply, and then immediately turned off the phone, unwilling to be tortured any further.
He Yu was in a similar situation, he blocked the message. When he looked up, he found Luo Shixi and Nian Gao in his arms looking at him seriously, the man and the dog seemed to be cast from the same mold, full of humor.
So He Yu smiled without any hesitation.
"You're still laughing?" Luo Shixi glared at him, "Have you realized your mistake?"
He Yu was slightly startled, with an innocent look on his face, "Didn't you say it was okay?"
Luo Shixi: "I said that it doesn't matter what you said publicly, what does it have to do with you lying to me?"
He Yu touched his nose. How happy he had been in the past few days, how panicked he was now.
Luo Shixi looked at him without blinking, waiting for him to give her an explanation. But before he could give her an explanation, he witnessed He Yu's ultimate shamelessness.
He Yu held Luo Shixi in his arms, his left hand weaving through his hair, holding the back of Luo Shixi's head, and his other hand wrapped around his waist, burying his head in the crook of Luo Shixi's neck, sniffing the scent of shower gel on his body, which was the same as his own, and said aggrievedly: "Luo Luo, don't be angry, it's my fault, I'm wrong, don't be angry, okay? Forgive me."
As if knowing that Luo Shixi couldn't stand him talking in his ear, He Yu deliberately lowered his voice, making his already low-pitched voice even more sexy and ambiguous. He honestly admitted his mistake like a spoiled child, rubbing Luo Shixi's neck as he spoke.
The slightly stiff black hair ends swept across the neck, bringing a tingling sensation.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way! Stop rubbing!" Luo Shixi pushed He Yu's head away with his hand in disgust, but He Yu took advantage of the situation and rubbed his head against the palm of the history department's hand.
Luo Shixi curled up his fingers, feeling helpless. His face flushed as he held back for a long time before he managed to utter, "You are a hooligan! Shameless!"
He Yu thought, this is your first day knowing me?
But he didn't dare to say this out loud, and just hugged Luo Shixi to admit his mistake, "Baby, marketing accounts on the Internet love to write nonsense, and they make a big deal out of trivial things. Next time you encounter such a thing, you should ask me first. Don't be angry, okay?"
He squeezed Luo Shixi's hand and kissed the base of his palm.
Luo Shixi's attention was all on the name He Yu had just blurted out, and he said hesitantly: "What did you call me?"
He Yu first said "hmm" in confusion, then he reacted, his eyes curved, and he naturally called out again, "Baby, please forgive me this time."
Luo Shixi suddenly buried his face in Nian Gao's fur, and Nian Gao cried a few times in a baby voice to express his dissatisfaction.
Of course He Yu would not let Luo Shixi act like an ostrich as he wished. He reached out his hand to divert his sight and make him look up, using the same action that Luo Shixi had used to divert his gaze just now.
"Do you forgive me? If you don't say anything, I'll assume you've forgiven me?" He said with a smile, "Speak, baby."
Luo Shixi's earlobes turned red from the torture he caused. He slapped away He Yu's hand that was grabbing him, covered his ears and shouted, "Forgive me! I forgive you, okay?"
He Yu was the best at testing other people's bottom line step by step. He hooked a strand of Luo Shixi's hair with his fingers, twisted it around his fingertips a few times, and said slowly: "Forgiveness alone is not enough. Luo Luo has done so many things for me, of course I should give back double to feel at ease. For example, as for helping with the bathing, I have to…"
Luo Shixi covered his mouth and he blinked innocently.
Luo Shixi was not moved at all and even wanted to throw He Yutuanba out.
"Shut up!" He threatened He Yu fiercely, "If you say one more word, I'll make you...make you sleep on the sofa tonight!"
He Yu saw that he took a long time to come up with this method of punishment, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud, thinking that his Lolo was so cute no matter how he looked at him.
Life is peaceful and tranquil here, but there are turbulent waves online.
After Weibo crashed, ran, and crashed again, I was finally able to log in. Even if it was stuck, netizens would still watch the refreshed circle and squat to reveal the news. Some marketing accounts that were quick to act had already made up the love story of the two, including two-way secret love version, love at first sight version, restrained sadomasochism version, and unrequited love version, ensuring that every netizen's taste was catered to.
Even though everyone knew that this thing was half real and half fake, they still watched it over and over again with great enthusiasm, and they became addicted to it.
While watching, I still complain about the crappy internet speed and the programmers’ lack of work.
The innocent programmer who was implicated: I sneezed three times today. It must be that three people missed me. Hehe, that’s great!
Several other members of the Jiu Group learned the news one after another.
People like Shan Shi'an who had known the truth for a long time were naturally not surprised. However, Sang Zi, Gu Lian and others were shocked for a moment, and then... accepted it very quickly.
Sang Zi even sighed to Bai Jingzhou who came to the company with him, "No wonder I always feel that Brother Shixi and Teacher He have an unusual relationship. Sometimes I even feel redundant when I walk with him."
He talked for a long time and found that Bai Jingzhou didn't respond. Then he remembered something, quickly shut up, turned sideways and carefully observed Bai Jingzhou's expression.
Bai Jingzhou was reading the gossip about the two people online. This marketing account must have read too many melodramatic old-fashioned novels, and the writing was sour and bizarre. Sang Zi couldn't read it after just one look and said to Bai Jingzhou, "Brother, this is too outrageous."
Bai Jingzhou nodded, and Sang Zi saw him click on the option in the upper right corner and tick the complaint about spreading false information.
Sang Zi twitched his lips, "Uh... Brother, are you okay?"
"What's wrong with me?" Hearing this, Bai Jingzhou looked at Sang Zi inexplicably, "What are you thinking about?"
Sang Zi scratched his head, "Oh, so that's it..." He thought his brother would be in a bad mood when he saw the news that Shi Xi was in love.
"Then let's go eat your favorite Chaoshan beef hotpot? I haven't been there for a long time and I'm so craving it!" Sang Zi actively invited Bai Jingzhou.
Bai Jingzhou put his phone back into his pocket with a nonchalant expression, "Let's do it another day. I have no appetite today." After saying that, he walked out alone.
"Oh." Sang Zi had no choice but to follow him.
And he said he wasn't in a bad mood. He thought to himself.
He Yu is not only Luo Shixi's lover, but also his boss, responsible for his future. Moreover, he is more than half responsible for the accident of coming out. Since the announcement, the public relations department has been keeping a close eye on the trend of public opinion online. Those who wanted to take advantage of the situation to discredit Luo Shixi and He Yu made false statements, and the lawyer's letter from Suanmei Entertainment arrived right after they did.
The normal discussions online were beyond the public relations department's expectations.
They thought they would have a tough battle to fight, but they didn't expect that most of the comments online were in support of He Yu and Luo Shixi. The PR department then realized how huge the Appetite CP fans and passerby fans were. There were some who shouted for the two to "get out of the entertainment industry" and "homosexuals go to hell", but before the PR department took action, the CP fans came to them first.
"You are reading an old almanac, right? Wake up, the Qing Dynasty has fallen, and love is free."
"Your little brain seems to be wrapped in a foot binding."
"This is weird. These two people didn't kill anyone or cause any harm to society. They were just having a good relationship. Why do you act like they are a cancer to society? Do you do more charity than them, or do you pay more taxes than them? If it's not the case, then just shut up!"
Luo Shixi posted a Weibo post to calm down the various online comments. In the post, he talked about their relationship experience. It can only be said that he is worthy of being a liberal arts master. He wrote a clarification post with great enthusiasm, and the emotional details in it moved many people.
Finally, Luo Shixi wrote at the end: "...I know that I have chosen a difficult road, and there will be many obstacles on the road, but with his courage, I am sure that I will be the knight who successfully walks to the castle and saves the princess. I will cut through thorns and brambles along the way, but I will eventually embrace the light. But this road is really too difficult to walk. I hope that when you embark on this road, you have already prepared yourself mentally, instead of following in his footsteps and finally getting hurt."
His main purpose was to persuade those who were too excited, but everyone's attention was focused on strange things.
"He Yu is a princess? I imagined what he would look like in women's clothing. Uh... he seems pretty good looking, right?"
"Da me! He Yu has eight-pack abs and a model-like figure with a golden ratio of head to body! You can't just sculpt him because he's good-looking!"
"I thought He Yutie 1 before, but now I am starting to hesitate. Could it be that they are flowing liquid?"
He Yu read the comments online and felt that if things continued like this, his position as number one would be unstable, although at the current pace he was not yet at the stage where he could really talk about 0 and 1.
He quickly reposted Luo Shixi's Weibo and wrote: "Sorry, there is only the prince in this castle, you can only kiss him, princess, don't even think about it [凶巴巴.jpg]"
"Brother He, how many bottles of vinegar have you drunk? Why are you so sour?" Netizens teased him.
He Yu sneered and replied to her, "Talk less and do more. Your boss asked you to fill out the report."
"Too cruel!! The most vicious man's heart!"
As soon as the netizen typed this line, she turned around and saw her boss's cold eyes. She was so scared that she quickly sat up straight and pretended to work hard and not slack off.
Several other companies behind Jiutuan have contacted He Yu, and He Yu expressed his willingness to compensate for the loss and said he would solve the matter. Several companies thought He Yu was too arrogant and young, and they were ready to pull their artists out of this whirlpool, waiting for He Yu and his company to suffer.
Unexpectedly, because of this incident, Luo Shixi's exposure became even greater. He Yu discussed with Wang Hanwen and decided not to miss any opportunity to re-formulate the marketing strategy and push Luo Shixi to a new peak, making his popularity increase instead of decrease, broadening his circle and attracting a large number of fans, including tens of thousands of homosexuals hidden in society. Although they are new fans, their fan stickiness is much stronger than that of ordinary fans.
He Yu's ambition is not limited to the domestic market. He put the label of "homosexual" on Luo Shixi and actively expanded the overseas market. When foreign websites heard that there was a pair of openly gay people in China, they were naturally curious. With curiosity, there is attention, and traffic naturally comes.
Luo Shixi's Twitter account began to post vlogs about his and He Yu's daily lives, some long and some short, most of which were recorded and saved by himself. Foreign netizens were so sweet about their interactions that they covered their faces and screamed, saying that this was a novel reflected in reality.
Those companies that were waiting to see Suanmei Entertainment make a fool of itself were dumbfounded. They didn't expect that He Yu, a newcomer, could actually successfully turn disadvantages into advantages and have a booming marketing business.
They felt uneasy and asked their subordinates to check the so-called Suanmei Entertainment. As a result, they found that He Yu was now the industry leader, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was the only one in the industry. And those companies that had just seen the dividends of live broadcasting wanted to get a piece of the pie, and they could not get around the big tree of Suanmei Entertainment.
With sufficient funds as a backing, it would be much easier for He Yu to shake up the resources in the entertainment industry.
When no one noticed, the towering tree had grown.
Among these dumbfounded companies, the most shocked were the senior and new groups competing with Jiutuan for the year-end music awards, and the companies behind them.
Jiutuan had been ranked second, and everyone was wondering if Jiutuan had no hope of winning the only best group award this time. However, with Luo Shixi's help, Jiutuan soared all the way, with great statistics, and directly surpassed the second place to become the first.
That’s not enough, their album sales created a miracle during the period known as the “physical album winter”.
Everyone is looking forward to the music festival at the end of the year. Fans and He Yu are all looking forward to it.
This is especially true for the Jiutuan.
