21: Chapter 21 The Post Controversy 21: Chapter 21 The Post Controversy After the meal, a person and a cat sat in front of the computer desk, discussing the issue.
“Looking at the timeline, when the Pegasus Meteor Shower first started to appear, news of creatures resembling aliens started emerging on Earth.”
“So, it’s not difficult to infer that the Pegasus Meteor Shower and the aliens appeared at the same time.”
“Until recently, the last appearance of the Pegasus Meteor Shower made a mess in the sky, showing an abnormal blood-red color.”
“At the same time, between and following that period, there were even more alien sightings reported across the country!”
“Therefore, I boldly conjecture…”
At this point, Lin Qiang burst forth with an unprecedented confidence, pushed up his black-framed glasses, and asserted,
“Earth is undergoing some kind of mutation, the Pegasus Meteor Shower isn’t just meteors hitting Earth, but an invasion of aliens!”
After stating his conclusion,
Lin Qiang turned to Lu Zixun and asked, “What do you think about me posting these findings on the forum?”
“Would many people agree with my decision, then get to know me?”
Listening to Lin Qiang’s conclusion, Lu Zixun nodded without hesitation.
Overall, Lin Qiang’s deduction was correct.
But to really put such an opinion online…
Certainly, someone would consider him a lunatic.
However, seeing the little stars in Lin Qiang’s eyes, Lu Zixun truly didn’t have the heart to burst his bubble.
After all, a lonely person seeking a community is nothing but normal, right?
With Lu Zixun’s tacit approval, Lin Qiang combined his conclusion with a post on a Weibo forum.
Sitting there, he eagerly awaited replies from other netizens.
However, the post was like a stone sinking into the ocean, with no one viewing or replying.
Lin Qiang’s mood turned despondent.
Lu Zixun lifted his paws and patted Lin Qiang on the sturdy back, a gesture of comfort.
“Thank you for consoling me.”
Lin Qiang spoke somewhat gratefully: “But it’s okay, I believe it’s just that not many people understand this matter.”
“One day, someone will understand me.”
As if to respond to Lin Qiang’s words, the computer started making ding-dong notification sounds.
One after another, incessantly.
The person and the cat looked at each other, both seeing confusion in the other’s eyes.
Then, Lin Qiang exclaimed joyfully.
“Could it be that someone agrees with my opinion?”
Without delay, he eagerly clicked on the computer to see the messages.
Due to limitations of his own body, Lu Zixun couldn’t directly read the content on the screen, but he could clearly sense…
The mood of Lin Qiang beside him shifted from elation to gradually, and steadily, sinking into sorrow.
In the end, Lin Qiang even fell into a deep despair, emanating a sense of deathly stillness.
What in the world happened?
Lu Zixun called out nonstop, but Lin Qiang showed no sign of responding – something that had never happened before.
One ought to know that ever since they became friends, Lin Qiang had always been responsive to Lu Zixun, hardly ever neglecting him.
This unusual behavior caught Lu Zixun’s attention.
Lu Zixun’s hind legs coiled slightly, muscles tense.
With a push and a leap, he jumped onto Lin Qiang’s computer desk and swiped at the mouse with his paw, trying to see what had happened.
The messages were too many and too chaotic for Lu Zixun to discern which information was relevant and which was not.
But even with a glance, Lu Zixun roughly understood.
The content of those posts all belittled Lin Qiang, calling him an idiot – none of them had anything nice to say.
The mildest of them suggested Lin Qiang was overthinking.
After all, the country is so peaceful now, the existence of aliens simply couldn’t be possible.
Lu Zixun sighed lightly.
Being sensitive at heart, someone like Lin Qiang would surely be devastated by such comments.
How should he console him?
Suddenly, as if struck by an idea, Lu Zixun frantically searched for something in the posts.
Just a moment ago, wasn’t this post completely ignored?
Why were there so many replies now?
There must be something fishy going on.
Before long, Lu Zixun found the issue.
There it was – the glaring “V” icon of a big-star influencer, shimmering beneath the post.
Apparently, an influencer with tens of millions of followers stumbled upon Lin Qiang’s post, read it seriously, and left two words in the comments.
Normally, people who saw this thread would react similarly.
But it’s important to realize that the fan effect of celebrities is exceptionally strong.
Within a minute after the celebrity commented, many fans flocked to the post.
That’s why Lin Qiang’s thread suddenly heated up.
Sometimes, as someone with influence, words really do matter.
Though feeling resigned, Lu Zixun nonetheless had to console Lin Qiang, because the current scene left him unsure of what else to do.
Lu Zixun tried to make himself look cute to Lin Qiang, something unprecedented.
Otherwise, how could a grown man possibly try to charm a 300-pound fat guy?
Sensing the goodwill from Lu Zixun, Lin Qiang managed a strained smile and said, “I’m fine now, maybe they just don’t understand this matter.”
“After all, my idea is quite far-fetched, isn’t it?”
After that comment, no matter how much Lu Zixun created a commotion, Lin Qiang remained silent.
Maybe try to break his action figures again?
Lu Zixun’s mind conjured up a mischievous idea.
Although slightly malicious, if it could get a reaction out of Lin Qiang, it would be worth it.
“Clatter clang” – a few pieces of Lin Qiang’s action figures were dislodged by Lu Zixun.
The expected anger did not come.
Lin Qiang sat there quietly as before, and Lu Zixun couldn’t help but feel indignant.
What kind of star was this?
To be so careless with his words – Lu Zixun was quite upset.
You must understand that this man over 300 pounds was his first male friend found on this planet.
Although he had many faults, even his obesity was distasteful to Lu Zixun.
But if his friend were bullied, he would be the first to stand up for him.
He helplessly patted Lin Qiang’s shoulder.
Finally, Lu Zixun made a decision – he planned to confront the celebrity.
In a corner where Lin Qiang couldn’t see, Lu Zixun stealthily slipped away.
Just wait – I will take revenge for you, you fat corpse!
