CH 104

On the next day, many fans had already learned about this matter.

Their studio has always had a PR department who had an insight about the artist’s fan base. Soon, in order to be able to better respond to emergencies, the staff immediately conveyed this matter to Wang Meican.

Wang Meican also contacted Shen Xingsui at night.

At that time, Shen Xingsui was still sleeping on the bed. When he heard Wang Meican say this, he almost fell off the bed. “What?!”  He exclaimed, eyes bulging out.

Wang Meican coughed lightly. “One of Jinxiao’s… more insane fans seemed to have dug up your trumpet, and it is said that it’s going to be exposed, Suisui.” 

“What, what?” Shen Xingsui was dumbfounded as he sat up on the bed, “How did it get exposed, and how did they find it?”

Wang Meican sneered when she thought of those crazy fans. “I don’t know about this either. But there shouldn’t be any special black material on your trumpet, right? This is what I care most about now, you are in a sensitive period now, nothing bad can happen.”

Shen Xingsui was completely bewildered.

But since his agent asked, he could only answer truthfully, “There is no black material…”

Wang Meican breathed a sigh of relief and said, “That’s fine, don’t worry. If it’s just some information about daily life, even if it is exposed, it will be fine. It will not cause any major fluctuations.”

“…” Shen Xingsui was choked up.

He really wanted to tell Wang Meican that there were no big fluctuations, but small fluctuations definitely… exist.

Shen Xingsui didn’t want to admit it, but he had no other choice. “Uhm… I mean, actually, there should be… maybe… a little… trouble about that trumpet…” 

Wang Meican was startled, and after hearing this, some bad premonitions naturally rose in her heart. “Suisui, could it be that you made some unfavorable remarks, did it involve Jinxiao?” 

Shen Xingsui’s mind was like a tangled yarn. “Unfavorable? It’s not that unfavorable. In fact, it’s quite positive, but it does involve Mr. Fu…”

Wang Meican was a little confused.

But Shen Xingsui already felt that was enough of a blow to his face today, so he brushed his agent off and quickly washed up. He rushed to the company. What he didn’t expect was that everything happened faster than he imagined. When he opened Weibo and the supertopic on the way, there were many fans’ posts – of which, all waiting for the gossip to drop. Many people leave a message saying:

[Tonight I am a little excited and can’t sleep.]

[This is the first time I’m this exhausted by the hype itself.]

[Is it really his trumpet?]

[I already knew that he is definitely not a good guy, wait for me.]

After seeing this, Shen Xingsui’s first reaction was to delete his side Weibo account, but on second thought, since the other party was going to hang up on him, why not just let it be? How could the other party not record the screen to have evidence, so even if he deleted it, it would have no effect. The other party dared to speak out, and naturally left enough evidence, so he was not afraid to delete it by himself.

Just when Shen Xingsui was hesitating, suddenly, there was a new post in the forum:

[It’s posted, then I have to refresh my webpage a hundred times to make sure.]

[Go check it out soon, folks.]

[Damn it, I was shocked.]

[Sisters, I am torn.]

Shen Xingsui also hurriedly went to the homepage to refresh it. When he saw the post tagging account, his heart was already cold. Of course, there was still a little bit of shame. He originally had 500,000 followers, and after being exposed, it was on the hot search in just ten minutes, and the number of followers increased at a rate of 200,000 every five minutes.

When Shen Xingsui switched back to that account, he saw that his DM inbox was flooded. He knew in his bones that his former online friends probably were beyond shocked right now. Many people were discussing this matter, especially some new fans who didn’t know much about this account. 

[Is the owner of this account really a fan?]

[He is too deceitful of our feelings, do you think this is fun?]

[It’s disgusting.]

However, these new fans were quickly refuted by another group of people. These people are all big accounts in Fu Jinxiao’s super talk, and many of them were hardcore old fans. They were the first group of people who came into contact with Shen Xingsui. Some of them were even brought up by Shen Xingsui:

[He has been following Fu Jinxiao for many years, do you think this can be called deceiving?]

[Yes! He has supported Fu-ge even when he was still an unknown little celebrity!] 

[Madam supported him earlier than me, you, and many people.]

[Those here who have heard of Madam should be Fu Jinxiao’s long-time die-hard fans.]

There was a fan that Shen Xingsui had an impression of. This girl’s alias is Little A. They knew each other before. At that time, this girl’s nickname was An’an.

An’an was the original one who led the opposition in hating Shen Xingsui. Now she knew that Shen Xingsui was the owner of that legendary Madam account, she tagged the account and asked: [Are you there?] 

Shen Xingsui happened to see this message. In fact, he didn’t log in to this account for a long time, and he didn’t read the group chat. After hesitating for a while, he decided that it was necessary for him to give an explanation to his former friend, so he replied: [I’m here.]

The group seemed to be silent the moment he replied. 

Then An’an asked: [Are you really Shen Xingsui?]

And the other people in the group were also very upset, and they all came forward to ask Shen Xingsui some questions, such as:

[When did you and Teacher Fu get in touch?]

[Does he like you because you are a fan?]

[Do you have ulterior motives to be with him?]

When he arrived here, Shen Xingsui knew that many fans actually liked Fu Jinxiao and supported him. They resisted and opposed him for some reason. The cabbage they had been guarding was suddenly picked by someone of unknown origin. They were full of grievances and worries.

But now they know who Shen Xingsui is. There’s no need to fight to the death.

Shen Xingsui was very patient, and answered everyone’s questions in a very detailed manner. He talked about things like the survival show and reality show, even about the Jian family and Shen family troubles (of course, the abridged version). When both sides were willing to give a chance to talk, everything could be resolved. After he finished telling his side of the story, everyone seemed to have calmed down. 

An’an said: [Aiyah, you! Why don’t you say these things earlier!] 

[If you said it earlier, how could we see you being wronged!] An’an was getting riled up, as she was one of Shen Xingsui’s closest online friends back then. [We can be considered your natal family! If you told us way earlier, all of us would have voted for you in that survival show, and maybe you’ll make a debut then.] 

Other former friends also poked their heads one after another: [After knowing that Madam is you, I now support your relationship very much!]

[I’m crying now. You’re always been one of us, and now you’re marrying Teacher Fu. Say… if I round this up, wouldn’t this count as all of us fans marrying Teacher Fu also? Hehe~] 

[It’s too romantic, I also cried, sister.]

[Thinking carefully, it’s only right that Teacher Fu marries one of us. Fertilized water shouldn’t flow to other’s fields1good things should be kept for your own family first and foremost..]

[Yes, I support you!]

Before this trumpet was exposed, some of Fu Jinxiao’s fans were very resistant to this relationship. After the incident was exposed, the direction of public opinion seemed to be completely reversed overnight.

Careful people even found that Shen Xingsui’s posts even dates back to the year when Fu Jinxiao’s debut, and he persisted for decades. All of his posts were carefully written, like years-long love letters that came from the heart. Before, many people did not understand why Fu Jinxiao fell in love with such an ordinary boy. But their minds were changed at this very moment. 

Some people laughed and said:

[The story of the licking dog2flatterer.] 

[Licking to the end.]

[Then is it too late for me to chase my idol like this now?]

And such comments were immediately refuted by some more rational people :

[I have always believed that affection should not be mocked.]

[Let’s be real here. Do you think it’s easy to maintain your pure love for someone for decades?]

[The most valuable thing is that he never hypes up this matter.]

[The love between two men is also love!]

[Bless them.]

As the first same-sex couple in the entertainment industry to announce their relationship, Shen Xingsui and Fu Jinxiao’s disclosure was brave and risky, and what they did was setting an example, and hopefully opened the way for others of the same ilk. Their firmness, their dedication, their courage, their strength… it’s all conveyed to many people. 

More and more people choose to support and bless them.

Slowly, many people also chose to make their relationship public – such as sneaky holding hand pictures, or even photos of them in the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Even in the middle of the day, there were hot searches about this matter:

#XuQinkeComingOut#

#TeacherLiSupportAndBlessing# 

They chose to follow up with the public, as if silently supporting Fu Jinxiao and Shen Xingsui. The torch that Fu Jinxiao and Shen Xingsui lit up had been passed on to the next person. 

The next day–

As the end of the year approached, about a month left until the New Year, almost all of Fu Jinxiao’s contracted jobs had been cleaned up.

This year was his last year in the entertainment industry, and his last remaining variety show that was still under contract is the last episode of “Bright Stars”. Because of Anran’s scandal, the producer replaced him for this last episode. To Shen Xingsui’s personal surprise, that person was Wen Shengge.

They hadn’t seen each other for a long time, and they hugged tightly when they met at the airport.

There’s an unspoken thing between all of them – there’s a chance that after recording this reality show, Fu Jinxiao would really vanish from the public eye. It’s only natural that nobody would miss this show. 

[Coming to see Teacher Fu dating’s life~] 

[This couple is so sweet.]

[Fu Jinxiao and Suisui have been together for a long time!]

[We have discussed it. After Teacher Fu is gone, we will be fans of Suisui. After all, whenever he is, Teacher Fu is sure to follow close behind~] 

[Support Madam, Madam is the best~]

Unlike before, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room and fans has changed, and everyone was more accepting and inclusive.

The director was also very emotional when he saw everyone gathered. “This is our last episode. I am very happy to meet you all. Because it is winter, we will go to a beautiful tropical island, where it’s like a warm spring all year around. It is an excellent tourist and holiday resort. I believe that after we spent two episodes together, everyone is already familiar with each other, which makes us cherish each other even more. I hope that everyone can spend this last week together and stay together. Let’s make a great memory!”

Everyone applauded.

It has been two years since the survival show “Starlight” aired, and too many things have happened in these two years. But because of this, everyone was more familiar with each other, so they also attach great importance to this convenience.

The director smiled and said, “In this case, we are just in the car now. Before arriving at the small fishing village, let’s play a game and refresh our relationship with each other?” 

“…” 

The warm atmosphere dissipated within seconds. 

‘I knew the director had no good intentions.’

“The rules are very simple. Two people form a group. One person asks the other person questions, and they can only ask questions about themselves. The other person needs to answer within three seconds. The group that answers the most questions wins, and the reward is luxurious accommodation and dinner for tonight.”

Thankfully, it sounded simple enough. 

The director continued, “As for the grouping, the people who sat besides you will automatically be your partner.” 

So, the teams are: Shen Xingsui and Fu Jinxiao, Shen Xingchen and Li Xu’an, Wen Shengge and Ning Ze, Teacher Tuya and Teacher Li, and Xu Qinke and Feng Fan. These groupings weren’t unexpected, as they sat with people they’re familiar with. 

The first ones on the chopping block were Shen Xingchen and Li Xu’an.

For this group, Shen Xingchen asked questions and Li Xu’an answered. With a confident posture, he started: 

“What movie do I like to watch the most?”

“Transformers”     

Shen Xingchen didn’t even think about it. “Wrong. It’s Transformers 2!” He complacently added, “It’s different.”

“…”

Li Xu’an and the others fell silent.     

Then Shen Xingchen asked a lot of unimaginable questions, and what was strange was that Li Xu’an was able to answer more than half of them. Many people were surprised by how much this person knew about Shen Xingchen.

At the end of half a minute, the director reminded them, “You got 8 answers correct in total.” 

The results of this group were still good. Soon, the next group was Shen Xingsui and Fu Jinxiao, and for them, it’s Fu Jinxiao who asked the question. Shen Xingsui was a little nervous about this, and was afraid that if he couldn’t answer, it would be over.

After the timer started, Fu Jinxiao smiled and asked slowly, “What is my favorite book?”

Shen Xingsui didn’t even think about before he answered, “Don Quixote and One Hundred Years of Solitude”

“Favorite color?”

“White, black, and blue.”

“Favorite food.”

“Wellington Steak, medium rare.” 

“Favorite song.”

“Moonlight Sonata Op 2”

No matter what questions Fu Jinxiao asked, Shen Xingsui could quickly answer them, not even needing the three seconds time limit. All of his answers were already ingrained in his brain, which shocked the audience. 

[He just automatically answers them all…]

[Wuwuwuu– I don’t deserve to be Fu-ge‘s fan.]

[I’m a fake fan, there are some things I don’t know.]

[Suisui is truly the best of all time!] 

The timer kept ticking, and Shen Xingsui answered all the questions correctly. In the last ten seconds, Fu Jinxiao looked at his lover, with a gentle and doting expression. 

“Last question: who is my favorite person?”
