This declaration of Fu Jinxiao shocked Anran. 

And not only him, but everyone – be it people in the room or watching from the live broadcast – was utterly shocked.

However, just as Fu Jinxiao was going to continue speaking, the live broadcast platform was unable to bear the huge traffic. The network froze directly, spitting out error number 460. 

The sudden black screen made all the netizens go crazy.

[The fuck is going on?]

[I only hear what Teacher Fu is saying in the first half, then it’s gone!!]

[ Fuck, my roommate smashed her phone in anger.]

[What’s wrong with the live broadcast platform?]

[The melons in front of me are enough to bring me back to my senses, to be honest.]

In almost a short ten minutes, this small live broadcast room has great power. With nothing to watch, the melon-eating crowd took this straight to Weibo and made it into several hot searches.

(HOT!) #Jian Zhi suspected having a relationship with a man, is he going to be terminated?#

#Shocking declaration# 

#Jian Anran drugs Shen Xingsui?#

#Who’s the instigator?# 

And just a minute later, another even more explosive hot search squeezed all of these trending topics and reached the top of today’s hot search list: #Husband1btw, this is a pun, they swapped the “Fu” in Fu Jinxiao with the word for husband “夫” which is also Fu. The more literal translation would be Husband Jinxiao but that doesn’t roll well in the tongue Fu’s morning confession# 

All this shocking news made netizens question their reality. Fu Jinxiao was a top-ranking, national-level celebrity, an idol that can be recognized by all the uncles and aunts on the roadside. Furthermore, they couldn’t just look at the live broadcast because it was still down; and this actually stimulated the netizen’s appetite even more. 

#You shitty Orange Live Platform!# 

A few minutes later, another hot search for a collective complaint of the error on the live broadcast platform emerged, sweeping the major news sections. All entertainment reporters were called to work by emergency calls, and various information prompts rang on the mobile phones of people who did not know the situation. After picking it up, they were greeted with various exaggerated versions of today’s headlines. 

This was this year’s annual melon.

A plot that even novels dare not write… was happening. 

Although the live broadcast room was closed, there were many people who recorded it. And thus, a large section of the video was edited and released, and the ugly behavior of Jian Zhi and Anran had become public viewing. There were fans who didn’t know the truth before, Anran and Jian Zhi’s fans came out and tried to clarify it was a rumor, but even they couldn’t refute such an open-and-shut case. If anything, the comment area of those videos was actually quite harmonious: 

[I was a Jian Zhi’s fan. Emphasize on the “was”]

[He actually likes men.]

[He used to hype a lot with actresses too…]

[The point is, his character is too corrupt.]

Even so, there are still fans who come out to defend their idol: [Gege didn’t even come out to make a statement. I believe there is a misunderstanding. I have to wait for him to say it himself. I will always support and trust my Jian-ge.] 

Facing this kind of brain-dead fans, the following reply was also very lively:

[I don’t think he even needs to clarify. You can see how he acts.]

[Didn’t you see the boy who poured wine on him?]

[He’s a scumbag, Sister, wake up.]

To this, the fan replied: [What if the boy was the scumbag?] 

Because of this reply, Jian Zhi’s fans and topics were pushed to the forefront, including Jian Zhi’s same-sex preferences. This topic of his sexuality also occupied the high point of discussion for a while. Many people still couldn’t accept the fact that their idols like men. Some of the fans instead say that his “boyfriend” got what he deserved. 

In this increasingly toxic-reply thread, only a reasonable person defended the boy:

[Isn’t he human too? So what if he’s gay, his feelings are real!] 

Slowly, the two sides disagreed, and the rational passers-by and the brainless fans started a war. While this was going on, the fans of Fu Jinxiao and Shen Xingsui were even busier, especially the denizens of these two’s superchat. That forum was exploding, and the traffic reached a record high with every second this went on. Too many people were actively discussing what Anran meant. 

“Shen Xingsui, I like Fu Jinxiao more than you!”

“I wish you all the best in the future.”

“I won’t argue with you again.”

Sensitive fans have already noticed something wrong, and if these words were really linked together — Wasn’t this just an obvious love affair?! 

There was also a detail-oriented girl who already started to scrutinize every detail: [Anran said, and I quote, “Those albums you collected before, in fact, I secretly hid some and I will return them to you”]

[When he said that he liked Fu Jinxiao more than Shen Xingsui, pay attention to Suisui’s expression here. He was shy.]

A die-hard fan of Shen Xingsui analyzed: [Suisui’s emotions are actually very easy to distinguish. When he is shy, he will purse his lips and his eyes will wander] 

Just when everyone wanted to get to the bottom of it, suddenly everyone’s network began to have problems. Weibo crashed with the same error as the live broadcast platform. 

Simply put, the sudden traffic was too overwhelming for the platform. 

As for the people in the hot spring resort, the stalemate was about to end.

After Shen Xingsui expressed that he would not forgive these two people, Jian Zhi and Anran were picked up by the angry managers and team. The two sides met each other and then quickly separated.

Shen Xingchen didn’t think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, and said as he rubbed his palm together, “Hey, let’s go, come back next time.”

Jian Zhi’s face was ashen.

The manager of the hot spring villa also came when he saw such a big event, “Everyone, I’m really sorry that something like this happened to disturb your rest. We didn’t expect it to be like this…” 

Shen Xingsui felt that his group directly caused the resort trouble, so he hurriedly said, “It’s okay.”

The manager quickly bowed, and gave them a compensation plan. He wanted to send them various VIP cards, and hoped that they would come to the resort again in the future, as they promised better services. 

Of course, Shen Xingsui and the others were not interested.

After all, they didn’t really come to soak in the hot springs. Even if they really wanted to, they wouldn’t come all the way because they were too busy with work.

However, Fu Jinxiao said, “Please do us a favor and help us apply for a permit.” 

The manager was stunned and looked at him suspiciously.

Fu Jinxiao explained, “Give us all the information about Jian Zhi’s entry and exit registration over the years.”

The manager was shocked when he heard Fu Jinxiao’s request. While Shen Xingsui was equally as shocked as the manager, Shen Xingchen and Zhang Chi were more amazed at the level of audacity Fu Jinxiao had. 

However, if Jian Zhi still wanted to clear himself up later, he might indeed try to destroy all evidence like this before they could beat him to death. Fu Jinxiao really took everything into account. 

The manager wanted to refuse, “This is the private information of the guests, and we cannot publish it. This is a private hot spring resort, and we pay great attention to the privacy of the guests.” 

“Really?” As expected, Fu Jinxiao could still keep his calm, “The private information of the guests cannot be released, but you can let Anran and the camera enter the private rooms of other guests without authorization? Is this what you mean by privacy?” 

The manager’s face turned pale.

Fu Jinxiao was really keen, and he also pointed to the core of the problem. If this problem is investigated, the reputation of their resort would be ruined.

“This…” The manager wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, “But they are registered with other people’s cards here, and even if the records are retrieved, there is no way to prove it.” 

Fu Jinxiao curled his lips into an amused smile, “Ah, so people can register with a falsified identity then? That’s news to me.” 

The manager realized that he had dug another hole for himself. Talking to Fu Jinxiao meant there were traps everywhere, and it was impossible to guard against. He really didn’t expect that the fire would burn himself. 

In the end, the big man looked like he was about to cry, “Mr. Fu, we are a small business, please don’t make things difficult for us…”

Fu Jinxiao led Shen Xingsui through the hall, stopped mid-way, and looked back at the manager, saying, “Don’t be like this. Those who don’t know think I’ve done something to you. After all, I’m not an unreasonable person. It’s not easy to do business, I understand that.” 

The manager breathed a sigh of relief. 

Unexpectedly, in the next second, Fu Jinxiao still continued, “Your surveillance records must be maintained for a year at most, so please send over all the videotapes whenever they enter this year.” 

The manager’s mouth could only gape. 

There was a kind smile on Fu Jinxiao’s face, but it looked so dangerous. The man asked in a slow drawl, “It shouldn’t be difficult, right?

There were hundreds of pits waiting for him to jump, and he knew of this. With a wry, scared smile, he replied, “It’s not difficult, it’s not difficult, you understand us, r-right?”

Fu Jinxiao was satisfied now, and he ordered his assistant outside to contact the manager. He left the resort decisively. 

Shen Xingchen at the back looked at the manager with some sympathy, patted him on the shoulder and said, “Brother Manager, when you are facing Fu Jinxiao, just give up and cooperate with him honestly. As someone who has experienced this, I advise you, you’d better do it. Otherwise, he will only bring more troubles for you. Who knows? Maybe next time he’ll lay a more vicious trap for you.” 

The manager almost couldn’t hold back his tears.

A group of people went outside to get in the car. Zhang Chi looked at Shen Xingsui and said, “Suisui, Mr. Hu is back from working outside. He is in the studio of Hengtong Building and wants to arrange music arrangements with us…” 

Only then did Shen Xingsui remember the task Hu Kaiyue gave him before he left. 

In fact, after experiencing all this, he no longer wanted to continue to cooperate with Zhang Chi. This meant that he had to give up the opportunity to continue the cooperation with Hu Kaiyue.

It’s good to go back and explain clearly, it will save embarrassment in the future.

Shen Xingsui looked at Fu Jinxiao and said softly, “I might have to go there.”

Fu Jinxiao’s nanny car also came. He leaned against the car, glanced at Zhang Chi meaningfully and said, “You go by yourself, be safe.”

“?”

“I asked my assistant to come with me,” Shen Xingsui smiled, “Because it may involve the termination of the contract, would it be better to go over and talk?”

Fu Jinxiao knew that Shen Xingsui had his own affairs, and it’s impossible to follow along. He could watch over him, but not too closely, otherwise he would only choke the youth’s future growth. In the end, he acquiesced, “Let Meican go with you.” 

Shen Xingsui nodded and agreed, “Okay.”

They were about to part.

Shen Xingsui looked at Fu Jinxiao with some reluctance, but in the end he could tell the difference, so he just said softly, “Then I’m leaving.” 

“Alright,”Fu Jinxiao pulled him over just as he was about to leave. A gentle kiss fell on Shen Xingsui’s lips just for a fraction of a second. Then, Fu Jinxiao took a step back, looked at him quietly, and asked again, “This is the last time: are you okay with going by yourself?” 

Shen Xingsui’s earlobes were dyed red. No matter how close he was, no matter how many times they had kissed, his heartbeat would go crazy everytime Fu Jinxiao approached. He steeled his resolve, then he nodded. “I’m fine, I’m not a child anymore.”

Fu Jinxiao curled his lips and responded with a slow nod.

In Shen Xingsui’s eyes, the man reached out and touched his head, and said softly, “But you still have the rights to ask for help, remember that.” 

–If you are bullied, please ask for your parents’ – or my – help. 

This was a right that Shen Xingsui forgot he had for the longest time. Now that Fu Jinxiao reminded him… he really finally remembered. 

Shen Xingsui’s heart was burning hot, every time he thought that Fu Jinxiao was good enough, Fu Jinxiao one-upped that in a landslide.

He’s so good that he almost made Shen Xingsui cry.
