[Exactly, exactly, it’s not about their looks or height mismatch, but their personalities! The dissonance is real, okay? I’m getting goosebumps!]
[If you said Tang Shu was with a gentle, soft girl, I would choose to believe it...]
[I was thinking before, someone like Uncle Tang should be handled by someone even more domineering, and then you guys pair her up with this? Really? Is this it?]
[Do you look down on us fans or what? Utterly disappointed—]
[Sorry, it’s hard to believe.]
Many people started flooding the comment section with "I don’t believe" and joyfully analyzed it post by post.
Whether it was Tang Shu’s display of high intelligence in dealing with unexpected incidents or her exceptional skills, everyone felt that there wasn’t a CP (couple pairing) feel between these two. Instead, it was more like the Great Demon King with a minion sidekick.
The fans could be said to be quite rational.
However, the admins, who loved to stir the pot, came up with alternative explanations.
[Poor brother, if this is true, how much pressure must you be under?]
[Exactly, exactly, you can’t even get through your senior year studies, and now you have to match wits with a demon like Uncle Tang? What are you thinking, young man?]
[Brother, what’s gotten into you? Wouldn’t a sweet, soft, cute girl be good for you? Why seek your own doom!]
[Just because she’s pretty? Don’t be fooled by her, brother, you better be careful!]
[Pity the poor guy, brother’s had it tough!]
[Brother’s had it tough +1]
[Brother’s had it tough + ID number]
Clearly, from these comments, it was apparent that the admins also chose not to believe the news. Nonetheless, it didn’t prevent them from providing an alternative narrative to the scandal.
Of course, it could also be called teasing, as they were basically all on brother’s side, sharing a sense of "misery loves company".
Why shouldn’t we all team up when we’ve been played by Tang Shu?
When Shen Yan and others saw the entry of "Brother’s had it tough" swiftly climb the trending search list with fierce momentum, for the first time, they understood what it meant for fans to dig a grave for their idols.
The direction of the events caught them totally off guard.
"...This works too?!"
What’s the deal with you admins, we can’t even bring the trending searches under control, and here you are stirring up trouble behind our backs?!
Not only did the original buzz not die down, but you all added more fuel to the fire?
Well done, truly worthy of you all.
"These people are all undercover haters, aren’t they?!"
Xiao Li and Luo Lin beside them were also shocked and bewildered.
"This bunch... too much drama."
"Should we have the PR team release an article to quash the rumors?"
In the laboratory at Medical University, Tang Shu was with Professor Yu and others, conducting the final identification of several prescriptions when she received Luo Lin’s call.
"Yes, the trending topic would have died down if we had ignored it, but now... thanks to those few admins, the heat has intensified instead of decreased. If we don’t refute it, it’s likely to keep fermenting," Luo Lin said.
Tang Shu’s hands, which were processing the medicinal herbs, paused, "Qianyun is too young, I don’t recommend dragging him into this."
Another reason she chose to ignore the scandal at its outbreak was because of Xu Qianyun.
