Chapter 727: Chapter 724: Chains of Traps (6)
In the entertainment industry, there’s a major taboo: don’t dig into the lives of non-celebrities, unless they’ve broken the law or disturbed public order.
Artists package themselves as commodities, enjoy the exposure, and earn high salaries. They have to bear a flurry of controversy and accept dealing with all sorts of reporters and paparazzi.
But this doesn’t include non-celebrities.
Non-celebrities aren’t required to satisfy the curiosity of onlookers. Excessive probing can also infringe on their right to privacy.
Bo Yan was uncharacteristically serious; after all, the host was just there to sell products. Although she had seen many celebrities come to help with live broadcasts, her hosting abilities were clearly lacking. After an awkward silence, she had to forcibly change the subject.
But despite the host’s unreliability, some fans in the bullet comments still noticed something fishy.
Even though many fans were whitewashing: “I think what Teacher Bo said is right.”
“Yeah, Teacher Bo knows his friend better than you do.”
“y1s1, although I hate Xia Siyu, she’s also an innocent victim.”
“The previous Xia Siyu deserved it, okay? Ever heard of ‘a fly doesn’t bite a seamless egg’?”
But there was someone perceptive: “Why is Teacher Bo so angry about Xia Siyu’s matter? Is he related to her?”
“Right, Teacher Bo never responded to his personal questions before and always kept his manners, rarely getting angry. Is he angry this time for Xia Siyu?”
Of course, such comments were immediately attacked by Bo Yan’s fans: “Holy shit, caught a Xia Siyu fan in disguise!”
“CP fans, get lost! Isn’t the super topic and fan forums enough for you to twirl around? What are you looking for here?”
“Xia Fen are really so full of themselves. Angry for Xia Siyu? You’re wasting your talent not writing novels! He’s obviously angry for his friend, okay!”
The fans were arguing in a frenzy, and the host, trying to recover from the downturn, asked Bo Yan a personal question: “Teacher Bo, it’s going to be your thirtieth birthday in a few days. First of all, happy birthday to you.”
Bo Yan nodded, “Thank you.”
“On behalf of our live broadcast room, I have a gift for you.” The host said and turned around to hand him a gift box. Bo Yan nodded, “Should I open this gift box now, or wait until my birthday?”
The host smiled: “Either is fine, either is fine.”
Bo Yan actually opened it. These days, the gifts from hosts are one more extravagant than the next, and what the host gave was actually a diamond.
The host was eloquent, “Diamonds are forever, one to be passed down for generations. I think only a diamond can express my feelings, and I wish Teacher Bo to stay as mature, stable, and charming as a thirty-year-old every year.”
The gift from the host couldn’t be too stingy; it was a one-carat diamond. Bo Yan smiled, “Thank you.”
The host then asked somewhat insistently, “But you know, turning thirty is quite significant for a person. The ancient saying goes ‘At thirty, one should stand firm’, establishing a career and a family. I wonder what Teacher Bo’s plans are.”
What the host was actually asking was about Bo Yan’s “family” plans. Everyone knew that since Bo Yan’s debut, he was free of scandals—no women, and even less men. Compared to Xia Siyu, who was associated with a scandal thrice a week, they were two extremes.
But he had been in the industry for just over three years and was already thirty. At this age, many people would have already married and had children, with the kids old enough to run errands.
The fans were also very concerned about this question. Although they still harbored unrealistic fantasies, they did not want Bo Yan to deceive them. Many top idols’ downfall started with the collapse of their public persona, deceiving the fans.
Under the scrutiny of everyone, Bo Yan finally spoke:
