Feng San:
Yu Xiheng noticed his perplexed expression, “What’s wrong?”
Snapping back to reality, Feng San hesitated, “Brother Nine, you should see this for yourself.”
He handed over his phone.
In just those few fleeting seconds, the retweet had already exploded with over 5,000 comments.
[Wow, she’s bold. What kind of persona is Si Fuqing adopting? Even straightforward people wouldn’t dare to be this audacious.]
[Could it be that Si Fuqing actually looks great without makeup, and she’s not afraid?]
[Stop talking nonsense. If she were really that beautiful, why would she always wear makeup?]
[Talk is cheap. Show us the proof.]
The tweet quickly rose to the trending list.
#SiFuqingResponds: I dare, get lost
Xia Sheng’s fans were once again infuriated, hurling insults and obscenities online.
Seconds later, Si Fuqing posted another tweet.
[@SiFuqing: Angry, huh? Your anger makes me happy. Have some candied haws to replenish your energy.]
She even attached a picture of candied haws, their red hue deceptively enticing.
This instantly fanned the flames of Xia Sheng’s fans’ rage to an even higher degree.
“She has a great personality,” Yu Xiheng seemed to reminisce about something, his eyes softly closing for a moment as he chuckled, almost as if sighing, “She must be the apple of her elders’ eyes.”
At least, he couldn’t bear to hold anything against her.
Every time she looked at him with those bright, bewitching fox-like eyes, it was as if the clouds had parted to let the sunshine through—dazzlingly radiant.
His thoughts seemed to settle down.
Feng San nodded, “Miss Si is actually quite cute when she wants to be.”
No sooner had he spoken than he wanted to slap himself.
What kind of nonsense was he uttering?
Yu Xiheng pondered for a moment before pulling out his phone, “Let’s download Weibo.”
Feng San blurted out without thinking, “Brother Nine, are you planning to become a fan?”
Yu Xiheng looked up, his gaze sweeping over him.
Feng San instantly fell silent.
He was ruined; Miss Si had made him abnormal.
Yu Xiheng propped his head up, “Perhaps, it’s time to better integrate into modern life.”
Feng San:
What did he mean by modern life?
Was it because they weren’t familiar with modern science and technology that they were considered ancient?
That was a bit exaggerated.
After downloading Weibo for Yu Xiheng, Feng San had already made up his mind.
He would buy the latest smartphone tomorrow and make a concerted effort to learn. He couldn’t afford to be labeled as an ancient person any longer.
Just as Si Fuqing stepped into her small apartment, another call came in.
It was from Qu Lingyun.
His voice trembled with barely suppressed anger, “Are you there? I can’t believe the fickleness of these online fans. They say you’re not worthy? They are?”
“Ridiculous! As if my choice could ever be wrong. They’re questioning Qu
Lingyun’s sense of aesthetics!”
This time, Si Fuqing was quick to align with him, “Exactly, I’m the most adorable and beautiful person there is. Who dares to say otherwise!”
Qu Lingyun:
He hesitated, then dryly said, “That may be true, but that’s not the issue right now. The real problem is those fans. We can’t let them continue to slander you like this.”
Before Si Fuqing could respond, Qu Lingyun’s voice surged with determination, “I’ll step in and officially announce that you are the new ‘Qu Girl.’ Let’s see who dares to speak ill of you then!”
Qu Lingyun’s name was a gold standard in the entertainment industry.
Though still young, he had long surpassed many veteran directors in status.
As for the ‘Qu Girl,’ there had only been two so far.
Industry insiders were busy speculating when Qu Lingyun would make his move and choose the third.
“Shut up,” Si Fuqing interrupted, “Don’t create more trouble for me.”
Qu Lingyun:
Trouble?
Was he that much of a nuisance?
“If you dare to speak, I’ll break your legs,” Si Fuqing said, smiling as a wave of murderous intent emanated from her, “Are you trying to work me to death?”
With Qu Lingyun’s notoriety, merely hinting that she was the new ‘Qu Girl’ would send shockwaves through the entertainment world.
Even Glenn might get involved.
She wasn’t particularly keen on taking on roles.
Qu Lingyun, again:
She was becoming more and more like her.
This familiarity with the grand demoness Yun Lan.
It unsettled him.
Qu Lingyun rubbed his temples and took a deep breath.
When he met Yun Lan, she had just joined Glenn.
Yet, within just three short years, she had continuously defended her Glenn Awards and even won a lifetime achievement award.
Beyond that, she had written songs for pop icons and uploaded dance videos on her blog.
Almost omnipotent.
That’s why the international performing arts community respectfully called her the “Great Demon King..”
