Black Turn Road
In the end, Li Mantao grabbed his phone and sent a WeChat message to Rong Yi, ordering him not to post any more barrages, and the storm gradually subsided.
Afterwards, many Yi Ru Fan Zhang fans who heard the news rushed to the barrage area to ask what happened, but Li Mantao simply turned off the barrage assistant and continued painting without being bothered.
After the broadcast ended, Li Mantao opened the door and bumped into Rong Yi who also came out of the room.
"Why did you suddenly give me so much money?" Li Mantao complained. "And I already told you I wasn't being coquettish, but you still posted comments like that. They all laughed at me."
Rong Yi smiled and whispered, "I'm sorry, my account isn't very popular, and I'm about to start a live broadcast, so I'm trying to use your popularity to boost it. Can you forgive me?"
Li Mantao looked at him suspiciously. "Do you still need my popularity? You have so many fans. If you just give me a shout on Weibo, I'm sure you'll have a million followers in no time."
"It's not that exaggerated." Rong Yi rubbed his forehead in annoyance. "Actually, fans of cosplayers just like the characters they cosplay. It's not a matter of whether they like the cosplayers themselves or not. We're just the costumes for their favorite characters. As for the cosplayers themselves, they don't actually have many fans."
Li Mantao: "...Is this true?"
Rong Yi nodded.
Li Mantao thought about Rong Yi's words for a few seconds and felt that there was some truth in them.
"Then..." Li Mantao hesitated, but seeing Rong Yi's dejected expression, he couldn't help but say, "Then you can take advantage of me. I think I'm still quite popular on Guaji Guaji recently. I'll have them all follow you later."
Rong Yi's eyes flashed. He opened his arms, gently pulled Li Mantao into his arms and said, "Okay, thank you, Manman."
The last time Li Mantao hugged him like this was by Lian Mo, who had a similar figure to him and exuded a faint scent of gardenia.
Rong Yi was much taller than him, with broad shoulders and a larger frame, brimming with the hormones of a grown man. Even though he had just emerged from an air-conditioned room, this body was incredibly hot. The unfamiliar heat enveloped him, steaming him whole.
Unnaturally breaking free from the embrace, Li Mantao said, "You're welcome. We're friends, this is what should happen."
After he finished speaking, he saw Rong Yi frowning slightly and looking down at the wound on his right hand.
"Did you touch the wound?" Li Mantao suddenly realized that Rong Yi was still an injured person. Although he struggled lightly just now, he might have accidentally touched Rong Yi's wound.
Rong Yi's face still looked bad, but he said, "It's okay."
After that, he immediately added: "Then I'll leave the live broadcast to you. I will occasionally contact you for interaction. If possible, don't refuse me."
Thinking about who Rong Yi was injured for, Li Mantao could no longer say no. He confirmed again and again that Rong Yi's wound was just a little painful and there was no need to call a doctor, then he patted his chest and promised to help Rong Yi gain more fans.
In the next few days, Rong Yi did as he said and frequently interacted with Li Mantao through barrage during his live broadcast. Li Mantao thought of his promise and tried to chat with him naturally through barrage.
Li Mantao's audience has gradually become accustomed to it, instead of being shocked and surprised at the beginning.
Because of this, Li Mi found Li Mantao and made fun of her again. Li Mantao argued with her for a few words, and suddenly realized -
Isn’t Li Mi a black fan of Rong Yi?
Why is Li Mi not angry at all when the relationship between Li Mantao and Rong Yi improves? Is this the reaction of black fans?
Li Mantao couldn't hold back, and when Li Mi caught him and questioned him about his interaction with Rong Yi again, he asked out the doubts in his heart.
At noon, the cafeteria was crowded with people. Rong Yi went out for something at noon today, and when Li Mi found out, she invited him to the cafeteria for dinner.
Hearing Li Mantao's question, Li Mi's chopsticks trembled slightly. She quickly picked up the piece of braised chicken that almost fell on the table, put it into her mouth slowly and chewed it, and after finishing it, she tore off a napkin and wiped her mouth elegantly.
Li Mantao watched her actions with a puzzled look on his face and repeated, "Are you really Rong Yi's hater?"
Li Mi slowly moved the napkin away from her mouth and smiled gently: "Of course, but I'm not Rong Yi's hater, but Yi Yi's hater."
Li Mantao: "Ah?"
"What I mean is," Li Mi threw the napkin into the trash can, his eyes determined, "I'm just a hater of cosplayer Yi Ruo Xiao Pian. I hate him because he's not good at his job and doesn't deserve his position, but!"
Li Mantao: "But?"
"But! Rong Yi, he's pretty good."
Li Mantao tilted his head in confusion: "Huh?"
"Tsk." Li Mi glanced at Li Mantao in dissatisfaction. "Your reading comprehension skills are poor. How did you get into our school?"
Li Mantao was displeased by this and declared solemnly: "I got 117 in Chinese in the college entrance examination!"
"Oh." Li Mi raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Not bad, but I got 131."
Li Mantao angrily said, "...That's getting off topic! So what exactly do you mean?"
"Well, it's like this." Li Mi took a sip of milk tea slowly. "Actually, after the comic convention incident, I discussed it privately with other group members and felt that it was a piece of cake. As a person, he still has some good qualities."
Li Mantao was puzzled: "Privately? Do you have other groups?"
How could this idiot suddenly become so sharp at this moment? Li Mi secretly sweated and laughed and said, "No, I told them in private."
"In short, the conclusion we reached from our discussion is that we can blackmail Yi Rufan, but we can't blackmail Rong Yi's character!" Li Mi said firmly, "So, we've decided to switch sides!"
Li Mantao: “…”
Li Mantao silently digested these words for a while, then asked, "Is it easy for you all to stop being smearful?"
Li Mi nodded firmly.
"Then..." Li Mantao looked around and said unnaturally, "Then please add me back to the group. I won't be a hater anymore."
Li Mi raised an eyebrow without surprise: "Okay, now that you're gone, everyone in the group will be much more bored."
In fact, Li Mantao was used to chatting with group members from time to time. After leaving the group, he felt a little lonely.
After finishing the meal, Li Mantao cleared the plates, gave one last instruction to Li Mi to add him back to the group, and then went home.
Li Mi sat there drinking milk tea and nodded, watching Li Mantao's back slowly walking away, then quickly took out his phone and found a group chat.
"Mission Impossible Loud Conspiracy Group".
[One Peach a Mouth: Shocking news! Taotao has finally come out of the closet and become one of us!]
[Twenty years of dedicated CP: What?! Taotao cheated?!]
【Focus on CP for 20 years: Cabinet】
[Lu Renjia: What?! Taotao finally realized he's gay?!]
Deer Man B: What?! Taotao and Yi Rufanzhan are together?!
Ji Hubao received 100 million yuan: What?! Taotao and Yi Rufanzhang are treating all of us to a wedding banquet?! Do we have to contribute money?!
[One peach at a time: ...]
[Growling: Witnessing How Rumors Are Born]
[Cat Brain Overload: So what happened? @Bite a Peach]
Li Mi looked at the nonsensical group members with a helpless look in his eyes. After thinking for a while, he sent a message to all the members.
[One Peach a Mouth: Congratulations! Our mascot Taotao has finally realized his deep affection for Yi Rufanzhan and decided to turn from hater to fan! @All members]
[Lu Renjia: Huh? Why call everyone out for such a small matter? Wasn't this already known?]
Li Mi was furious!
[A Peach a Mouth: If admitting you're not a black person is easy, then doesn't that mean liking someone is easy? If liking someone is easy, then doesn't that mean we're going to fall in love right away? If we're going to fall in love right away, doesn't that mean we're going to get married soon? If we're going to get married soon, then we shouldn't be invited to the wedding banquet, right?]
[Ji Hu Bao received 100 million yuan: Such a clear and organized statement, I was actually convinced]
【It’s not easy: That’s it】
Li Mi nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly found that there was a guy who rarely showed up among the people who replied.
[A Peach in One Mouth: @Not Easy, your performance was a bit too much last time. Taotao has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Besides, Yi Rufan Pan was injured because of him. If you want to criticize him, you can't use this incident to criticize him.]
【Not easy: Yeah】
[One Peach a Mouth: I've already told Taotao, we're all going to switch lanes. I'll bring him back to the group later. Remember to be natural.]
The members in the Mission Impossible group agreed one after another, and Li Mi took action to pull Li Mantao back to the black fan group.
On his way home, Li Mantao kept paying attention to the news from Penguin. As soon as he was pulled back to the black fan group, the group members immediately welcomed him home warmly.
Li Mantao modestly sent a few cute emoticons as a response.
[Lu Renjia: Taotao, you're almost at 500,000 followers. Have you decided on any fan benefits? The dress is too ordinary. I want to see a maid outfit (drooling)]
Deer Man B: +1
[One peach at a time: +2]
[Not Easy: +3]
Li Mantao: “…………”
What should I do if I suddenly regret returning to the group? Should I leave the group again?
【Kuai Tao: All rejected! 】
[Kuai Tao: @Not easy, you pervert, don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking! @#￥%…]
After passionately typing out more than ten messages, Li Mantao felt that his recent stress had been relieved a lot. Just as he was about to throw away his phone and take a nap, he saw someone sent him a private message.
[Not easy: Why haven’t you sent me messages recently? ]
After a few seconds, he sent another emoticon of a pitiful puppy.
Acting cute? Li Mantao sneered and typed away.
【Kuai Tao: You know it yourself】
[Not easy: Is it because I scolded Yi Ru Pian last time? ]
Li Mantao subconsciously wanted to refute, but after thinking about what Li Mi said, and knowing that everyone in the group had turned from haters to passers-by, he admitted it.
【Kuai Tao: Yes, that’s right! 】
The other side replied very quickly.
[Not Easy: So that's how it is. Do you like it as easy as pie?]
Li Mantao looked at the message and felt that it was a bit strange, but he couldn't find any fault with it.
Does he like it easy?
It's true that he likes Yi Rufan, and he really likes his good friend, but he just feels something is wrong.
After thinking about it for a long time and still not finding the answer, Li Mantao simply admitted it.
[Kuai Tao: Yes, so you are not allowed to criticize him anymore.]
