Chapter 8
It was gossip leaked by Bai Xi’s friend.
Sun Li: [I can’t stand someone’s pretentious act anymore. Just because she has the Greatest Singer by her side, she can bully people as she wishes?]
Next was nine photos of a chat history.
Bai Xi: [Xiao Li, I really don’t know what to do anymore. After jiejie came back, she seems to hate me very much.]
Bai Xi: [I know that my existence itself is a mistake. I’ve taken her place as the young lady of the Bai Family for so many years, but I really can’t just give up on the feelings I’ve had with my family for more than ten years.]
Bai Xi: [My sister blocked me and wouldn’t answer any of our call… If she did this because of me, I’ll apologize. I’ll return everything to her.]
Bai Xi: [But I don’t even have the chance to apologize]
[Xiao Li, what else can I do?]
Those were all voice messages. When this Weibo post was forwarded over tens of thousands times, Sun Li posted a screen recording.
As Bai Xi spoke till the end, her voice became choked up and sounded like a weak sob, making people’s hearts ache.
Bai Xi’s fans were immediately provoked.
[My heart aches for my baby. -pats- you’re not the one in the wrong. It’s that ungrateful Bai Lin.]
[I really want to have a baby sister like Bai Xi. Xixi, don’t cry. Gege loves you.]
[Am I the only one who feels like her talking like this sounds pretty b*tchy?]
[Yes, only you. Don’t you know that Bai Xi has always been very simple? She’s so sad today because she has no other choice. How can that be called b*tchy?]
#Bai Lin owes Bai Xi an apology #hot search
Zhou Guang saw the pictures in his livestream as well and smiled indifferently.
“Oh, I was the one who blocked her. I was having dinner with my sister and didn’t want to be disturbed.]
The time for the livestream was up and Zhou Guang went offline, but the internet was still very much chaotic.
Bai Xi hid in her room, gently biting her thumb.
Most of those under Sun Li’s Weibo post were her fans. They consoled and complimented her in various ways, causing her to gain 30,000 to 40,000 fans today. She had basically gained some popularity.
Her management company had called her to say that she had done a good job and urged her to continue.
An innocent and weak poor little girl who was trying to get the forgiveness of her cold elder sister… It was tragic enough but the netizens would not be satisfied with such a simple character setting.
Although she had some fame now, she was still far from the top.
This was far from enough.
Bai Xi switched to her side account and liked the comments that scolded Bai Lin. Then, she switched back to her main account, pondered for a moment, and posted a Weibo post.
It was a family photo with obvious traces of editing. Bai Xi’s face had been changed to Bai Lin’s.
Bai Xi: [I’m sorry, I’m the extra one.]
The Weibo post was reposted tens of thousands of times in an instant, and its popularity continued to rise. Bai Xi’s fans comforted her in the comments section of her Weibo post while they frantically searched for Bai Lin’s Weibo account—their real battlefield.
They could not find it.
They could not vent their anger on Zhou Guang either as Bai Xi could not fight with the top star. In the end, they could only vent on the public posting area, making all kinds of Bai Lin’s mourning portraits and posting unsightly comments.
Such roistering lasted for less than half an hour before most of the accounts were blocked and the illusion of peace was recovered.
Bai Xi put on a facial mask as she hummed a song. The variety show would officially start in a few days. The first day would be a live broadcast, so she had to adjust her condition to the best. She glanced at her phone again. It was silent.
It did not matter. Bai Lin would definitely come to apologize to her soon.
…
Bai Lin was ice skating with Zhou Guang.
The private ice-skating rink was kept very clean. Bai Lin put on the skates and rushed into the ice-skating rink. She made a beautiful pivot and said to Zhou Guang, who was slowly moving toward her, “San-ge, do you want to have a competition?”
Zhou Guang held onto the railing and smiled bitterly. “I’ve never been as good in sports as you are since we were young. You can skate by yourself, I’ll practice a little more.”
Bai Lin had a strong sense of balance. When she saw her brother shaking like an old grandma, she could not help but slide over and say with a smile, “San-ge, give me your hand.”
Zhou Guang held her hand. Bai Lin kept a steady hand. After leading him around the rink for two laps, the man gradually grasped the flow and could skate on his own without Bai Lin’s help.
It was only then did Bai Lin relax. She began to have fun on the ice rink, doing some simple leaps and accelerations.
When Zhou Guang got a little tired, he took a bottle of water at the exit area and drank it looking at Bai Lin from afar, his eyes full of admiration.
“It’s rare to see you bring someone here.”
A low and poised voice suddenly sounded, causing a buzz in Zhou Guang’s ears. He rubbed them and turned his head to look over, showing off, “My sister. Isn’t she good?”
