A comment section for a variety show.
[Kong He really has no charm whatsoever. He's quite rigid, not that smart, and his presence is really weak. What was the production team even doing with him?]
He spoke rather unpleasantly, and his remarks lacked any comedic effect.
[His singing seems pretty average, not as good as Yu Xiuzhu's.]
[...]
The agent noticed the difference between Kong He's comments six years ago and six years later, and felt a sense of doubt.
Bai Xi saw it.
"Do you have anything to say?"
The agent was surprised. He had something to say, but was it so easy for the other party to sense it?
He realized that the person in front of him was a fortune-telling livestreamer, and he had seen her trending on social media before.
It is said that there is no one she cannot accurately predict; as long as someone is in front of her, she can know all the information about that person just by looking at their face.
The agent suddenly covered his face with both hands.
Yu Xiuzhu, “???”
Bai Xi, "???"
Yu Xiuzhu looked at his agent with a puzzled expression, "What are you doing?"
The agent turned his face away and stammered, "I didn't do anything?"
Upon seeing this, Bai Xi asked, "Are you worried that I might notice something on your face?"
The agent paused.
It was guessed again.
He stammered, "Who wants their secrets to be seen through at a glance?"
Bai Xi said, "Don't worry, fortune tellers don't easily look at other people's things. They usually only do it if you pay the divination fee."
The agent exclaimed, "Really? You're not lying?"
Bai Xi nodded, "Fortune tellers have no interest in that."
The agent was relieved.
He said seriously, "Actually, I think his rise to fame is quite inexplicable."
Bai Xi, "What do you mean?"
The agent said, "After he became famous, he immediately filmed a period drama. He played the male lead and was not criticized for being ugly. In fact, many people praised him for being good-looking. I watched it, and the styling was similar to his previous period dramas. I didn't think it was good-looking."
Bai Xi thought for a few seconds and then asked, "I just saw him on that travel variety show, and he mentioned that he has a girlfriend, right?"
The agent nodded, "Yes, according to his fans, he used to have a crush on his girlfriend, but they only got together after he became famous."
“I learned about his thoughts from his fan group. He only dared to pursue her after he became famous because he had experienced rejection in the past, so he didn’t dare to pursue her again.”
After the agent finished speaking, he looked at Yu Xiuzhu, his eyes conveying a clear message.
Yu Xiuzhu had also heard about this matter. "Yes."
The agent said, "I have to say, I think Kong He has met a great person behind him, because he has gained a lot of fans who ship him with his girlfriend after they went public with their relationship."
"Six years have passed, and their relationship is still very stable. Rather than a 'celibate male god,' fans prefer Kong He's approachable image, which is why he has been dubbed the 'national boyfriend' by his fans."
"Another point is that after a male god with a single image collapsed, the status of our artists became precarious."
As he spoke, the agent shrugged helplessly.
"These netizens really like to condemn everything outright."
Bai Xi was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Let me watch his wildly popular variety show again."
Yu Xiuzhu: "Okay."
Then he switched to that travel variety show, and Bai Xi's gaze fell on Kong He, who was sitting among a group of people chatting.
The guests talked about Kong He's love life.
"Kong He, how have you been these past few years? Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?"
The older generation is most interested in the love lives of young people.
Upon hearing this, Kong He gave a slightly embarrassed smile.
Everyone exclaimed in surprise, "Wow!"
The senior smiled and said, "Then you've got it."
Kong He nodded.
A hint of gossip flickered in the eyes of one of the regular guests, "When did you two get together?"
"We just got together a few days ago."
"Wow!"
Viewers in the live chat learned that Kong He had announced his new relationship on the variety show, which attracted many netizens and greatly increased the show's popularity.
Immediately, Bai Xi's gaze fell upon the red rope in Kong He's hand.
The red string around his wrist wasn't a simple design; it had a delicate koi fish pendant hanging from it, and gold threads were interspersed along the string, making it very beautiful.
When others asked about the red string in his hand, Kong He's eyes flickered slightly and he smiled, "My girlfriend gave it to me."
Upon hearing this, the guests murmured expressions of envy.
Someone said, "Kong He, you seem to be glowing this year. You exude charm all the time, and you're almost mesmerizing us."
Kong He smiled and said, "Really?"
The senior colleague said, "It must be because you're in love. Love really does nourish people."
The viewership of travel variety shows has been suspended.
Bai Xi, "Did you notice the red string in his hand?"
Yu Xiuzhu and his agent were both taken aback.
Agent: "Is there something fishy going on here?"
Yu Xiuzhu guessed, "Is there something wrong with that red string? Could his sudden rise to fame be related to this red string?"
Bai Xi nodded. "Have you ever heard of borrowing space?"
Yu Xiuzhu was taken aback. "I've heard of it."
This is a common occurrence in the entertainment industry.
"Agent, you mean Kong He got lucky?"
Bai Xi nodded, "Yes, he borrowed someone else's luck, or to be precise, he stole it. This kind of behavior is against the heavens."
Yu Xiuzhu: "Then... what would happen if we broke his trap?"
"It will quickly deplete his future fortune, and he will also suffer a backlash."
The agent wondered, "Whose luck did he borrow?"
Bai Xi, "of the fans".
The agent and Yu Xiuzhu were taken aback.
The agent said, "How vicious."
"His fans are his bread and butter. They support him, promote him, and spend money on him. How can he still leech off his fans like this? Being his fan is the worst thing that can happen to you."
...
Yu Xiuzhu's loyal fans, because of Bai Xi, the anchor, firmly believe that their idol is innocent.
Some fans are secretly investigating this matter.
Then they traced it back to Kong He.
I found out about the old feud between my idol and Kong He.
They suspected Kong He as their first suspect.
In order to find out as soon as possible who was smearing their idol.
The fans rallied together and began tracking Kong He's actions over the past few days, waiting for him to slip up.
Several days passed, and no clue could be found about Kong He. He rarely went out, and apart from a few dates with his girlfriend, he spent most of his time holed up in his apartment.
The fans refused to give up and then turned their attention to Kong He's girlfriend, Bai Ke.
They were trying to find some evidence against her.
After following them for several days, they finally made some progress.
Bai Ke, who was always affectionate with Kong He, actually went out suspiciously and met a strange man.
The man was dressed in all black, wearing a hat and a mask, so his face was completely obscured.
They felt there was something fishy going on.
