CH 102.2

The host said to the media, “We have a ten-minute self-help questioning session for the leading actors. You can ask any questions related to the movie! Don’t worry, you don’t need to be a reporter or journalist to be able to ask questions, as long as you’re in the venue, you will have a chance to communicate with the leading actors.”

There was roaring applause from below.

The reporters began to ask questions one after another. The questions at the beginning were quite normal, until a fan got the opportunity to ask questions. She looked at the people on the stage with a microphone, and said softly, “Hello Suisui, I am your fan. I even bought more than 20 tickets, and I went to see every show. I like you very much, I support your cause very much, and I also like Fang Zhiwen and Xu Yan very much. I have helped with the publicity, too. But recently, we, including fans of the movie itself, have been hurt by another group of people.”

The scene suddenly fell into a dead silence.

This question was too sensitive and sharp, but the fan didn’t have any intention to stop. “There are many people who are very against us and resist the CP. A lot of them also have doubts about the relationship between you and Mr. Fu, resulting in a fierce argument. It’s very serious and uncomfortable at times, but these are all fine. What is not fine however, is when they made a personal attack on you, and even towards us.” 

Shen Xingsui’s hand holding the microphone was tight. The words stumbling from the fan’s mouth felt like a sharp knife stabbing in heart. Standing on the stage as the focus of many of the audience, he was quite far away from the fan. Even so, he could see the fan getting more and more distressed, even to the point almost shedding tears. That gaze was also looking at him, as if begging him to be honest with his answer. 

“Suisui, we really like you and support you.” The fan said softly, trying to hold back her tears, “We don’t listen to others, we just want to hear from you. May I ask about your relationship with Mr. Fu, that is, what is the true nature of your relationship? Is it a purely cooperative one, a teacher-student one, or… something more?” 

With this question, it ignited the audience’s discussion. 

The spotlights kept flickering, and the reporters from all major media were all excited with trembling hands.

Shen Xingsui stood on the stage, shone brightly in the spotlight – it was enough to dazzle people’s eyes. Surrounded by noisy murmurs and gasps, he stood stiffly in place. Holding the mic in a tight grip, while his lips trembled. He didn’t know what to say. 

This is related to Fu Jinxiao’s future career.

There were too many people who hated him, and it was very possible that because of him, Fu Jinxiao’s untainted reputation has been stained black.

Fu Jinxiao is his lover. But his fans are also in front of him. No matter what he did, someone was bound to get hurt. He was pulled into two different directions, tortured by decision and the noisy buzz on his ears. The bright light hurted his eyes, but that didn’t excuse him from making a choice. 

He had to make a choice now. 

Zhang Sansan at the back saw his confusion and fear. He hurried over to try helping him, “Well, this question has an easy answer! I can testify that the two of them have no special relationship, they were very casual when they were filming…”

Jiang Chao, who knew the truth, also hurried over and pulled Shen Xingsui’s arm. He said to the camera with a fake smile on his face. “That’s right, some rumors from the outside world are just baseless…”  

The people in the audience were very dissatisfied and hoped that Shen Xingsui would speak for himself.

The tugging and pulling movements, the noisy scene, everything seemed like a monster with its mouth open, trying to swallow him up.

“I…” 

At this moment, however, everything came into a halt. 

On the other side of the stage stood a tall man. He was wearing a black windbreaker, a casual style. But even so, when he stood under the stage lights, all eyes were on him. 

With a nonchalant gesture, Fu Jinxiao took off his sunglasses, revealing his handsome face. A cynical smile appeared on that face, and he started talking when everyone was still gaping wordlessly on him. “Good afternoon, everyone.” 

The actors and director looked at him. When they finally digested this sudden interruption, they all relaxed. 

Director Zhang Sansan hurried over and said, “Jinxiao, it’s a good thing you’re here, so hurry up and clarify this matter.”

Fu Jinxiao nodded at him, then walked towards Shen Xingsui in the middle of the stage. Shen Xingsui stood there holding the mic, watching the older man approaching him step by step, making a loud and uniform sound. He seemed to have just come in from the outside, he looked a bit cold thanks to the chilly wind. 

Shen Xingsui’s eyes flickered slightly. As Fu Jinxiao stood still in front of him, the older man showed a gentle smile, “Sorry, I’m late.”

It was like a reassurance, as if it was telling Shen Xingsui that he was there to support him unconditionally. It successfully eased him. 

Shen Xingsui pursed his lips and shook his head slightly.

Fu Jinxiao directly took the mic from Shen Xingsui’s hand, smiled at the audience and said, “Since I’m late, let’s go directly to the questioning session. How about letting me answer the question you just asked Mr. Shen?”

There was an uproar in the audience, and the fan readily agreed.

Fu Jinxiao looked at the fan who asked the question. His tone usually sounded languid and light-hearted, but when he answered this question, he was serious and rather solemn.

“Simple, the truth is, Shen Xingsui is my lover.” 

Everyone’s eyes widened in shock. 

“We are lovers. Of course, we will officially get married in the near future,” Fu Jinxiao said in an unhurried manner, as if he was talking about the weather. “Thank you for your attention to our relationship issues, and friends from the media will also be invited to the wedding in the future. You can witness us tie the knot.” 

? 

Question marks appeared on the heads of everyone, followed by absolute shock!

Especially in the live broadcast barrage, where everyone went nuts. 

[Is this reality or not?]

[This pair is actually real!]

[Shen Xingsui, did you save the Milky Way in your previous life?]

[I hate you!]

[I am heartbroken…]

[No, I don’t agree! They don’t match at all! You should listen to me, I’m your loyal fan!]

The live scene was also chaotic. This night was destined to be an extraordinary night, and Fu Jinxiao’s love affair would definitely cause an uproar, especially among his fans.

“That’s right,” Fu Jinxiao said slowly as everyone was gaining their bearings, “There is one more thing to announce. Although I originally thought it would be later, since we have reached this point, let’s talk about it together.” 

Shen Xingsui side-eyed him in bafflement. 

Fu Jinxiao looked down at him, with a faint smile in his eyes, he opened his lips. His news was bombshell, but he said it in a calm voice.

“I announce that I will permanently quit the entertainment industry after finishing all my current contracted jobs.”
