Zhuang Xuejun had been in the entertainment industry for so many years that she had already purchased a house where she lived comfortably by herself.
Feeling bored living alone, she was thrilled when Xia Weibao said she would come to stay with her.
The two enjoyed a big meal together, then bought back two large bags of snacks and munched on them while watching TV.
Zhuang Xuejun, previously concerned with maintaining her figure, rarely indulged in snacks. Now that she was no longer a star, she let herself go completely.
She devoured snacks with even more zeal than Xia Weibao!
"Baby, why don’t you go home?"
Zhuang Xuejun was somewhat puzzled.
In fact, she had never known where Xia Weibao lived.
Xia Weibao’s smile carried a hint of melancholy. Home, huh.
Not wanting Zhuang Xuejun to notice anything amiss, she forced a bright smile, "I missed you, that’s all. What, am I not welcome?"
"Of course not, I’ve been thinking about asking you to move in with me anyway, Baby. Why don’t you move here? My house is big, and it’s so boring living alone."
Xia Weibao simply smiled and did not reply.
She had not decided what to do in the future yet.
Without Dog Emperor by her side, she felt truly lonely and lost.
Zhuang Xuejun continued to fiddle with the remote, looking for a TV series to pass the time.
Meanwhile, Xia Weibao took out her phone and opened her Weibo account.
This past month had been incredibly busy, needing to finish the movie in the shortest amount of time.
Most of the shots were perfect on the first take, plus Han Luoqi was truly a genius at acting!
Acting opposite him was so stressful; she couldn’t afford a moment’s distraction.
Because of this, she had been so busy that she went straight to sleep every day, having no time to pay attention to the online world, leaving it all to Xia Shi to handle her Weibo.
When she saw the number of followers on Weibo, she nearly popped her eyes out!
Why were her followers still at 2.5 million?
After the incident with the support for Zhuang Xuejun, they had sky-rocketed to 5 million!
Why had they dropped by half in just one month?
Xia Weibao was devastated. Heavens!
What on earth happened this month?
Seeing her shocked expression, Zhuang Xuejun didn’t know how to console her.
"Baby, don’t be sad. Those who unfollow at the drop of a hat certainly aren’t loyal fans; they’re no use to you."
"What exactly happened during this time? Was I slandered again?"
Otherwise, why would she lose followers at such an alarming rate!
Zhuang Xuejun bit her lip, worried, "Netizens blindly follow trends; just ignore them."
She was really afraid that if Xia Weibao saw those scandals, it could trigger a heart attack!
Xia Weibao hurried to check the trending searches of the recent period and discovered that her video had been thoroughly trashed!
Suddenly remembering how she had asked Leng Yan to hire trolls to slander the video a month ago, she felt too ashamed to face the people of Jiangdong.
Leng Yan was really something, it seemed he had worked very hard this month and hadn’t slacked off at all.
Slandering the video was one thing, but to have halved her follower count!
Suddenly, her hands itched to punch someone!
Never mind, it was only temporary; it would get better after a month or two.
She logged out of her own Weibo and checked the trending searches, finding out she had really been on the headlines for a month.
It seemed like Leng Yan had spent a fortune on buying trending searches and trolls.
Just then, a news alert popped up in the bottom right corner of her phone.
"Qinghua Village has been sealed off, all residents with the epidemic have been quarantined."
Reading the news, Xia Weibao frowned.
"What does this mean, what epidemic?"
Xia Weibao asked, puzzled.
Suddenly recalling she had seen a trending topic about an epidemic, she scrolled back to check.
Zhuang Xuejun glanced at her phone, her expression fraught with concern.
