Chapter 70

Early in the morning, when the sun hit her eyelids, Xia Xiai was awakened by the doorbell. She rubbed her eyes to touch her phone, trying to see what time it was, but found that her phone was dead.

It didn't seem to take long last night... only vaguely remember that Jiang Liushen made a video call, but he has no memory of what he said.

Xia Xiai sat up, yawned in confusion, and looked down, she was still wearing yesterday's shirt, it was wrinkled all over her body, and her hair was probably messy, but the doorbell was so urgent that he didn't have time to pick himself up. He had no choice but to hurriedly walk to the entrance with his slippers on. Seeing that Xu Tong was on the surveillance screen, he opened the door with confidence.

Xu Tong looked fiery, and when he entered the door, he asked, "Why is your phone turned off?"

"No, cough!" Xia Xiai felt that her throat was uncomfortable, and she caught a cold from nowhere. "The battery is out of power, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Let's see if you slept well last night." Xu Tong said while taking out his mobile phone, "Also, there are some unfavorable remarks about you on the Internet. I have basically suppressed it, but I have to let you know. , Be on guard recently, someone is targeting you."

Xia Xiai judged from her expression that the situation was a bit serious, and immediately took over the phone to check Xu Tongcun's screenshot.

From the chronological point of view, at the beginning, some fans found out that he wore the same shirt as Jiang Liushen last night. They guessed whether it was the same shirt. CPs were all happy eating candy, but fans only cared about Anli's praise and did not express their dissatisfaction with it. , As a result, a few trumpets in a group suddenly appeared and took the lead in insulting him for shameless. When most of the fans were sleeping in the middle of the night, they made thousands of madly, which made his name square in chaos.

The fans who discovered this in the morning immediately began to purify. Since the number of the other party was small, no matter how frequent they were, they would not be able to match the power of thousands of people, and they were quickly suppressed.

But then, these trumpets turned their attention to another matter.

"How do they know what I've done before?"

Xia Xiai looked at the screenshot in confusion. Jiang Liushen had already erased all traces of working in the bar for him before, and there was no record of school fights. How did these people dug up?

"Smearing and human flesh is what they are best at." Xu Tong said, "Xu Yang said that these numbers must be the few people he interviewed before. They are not thieves, and they are still thinking about making trouble."

Xia Xiai frowned: "I'm with Jiang Liushen, so do they make them so jealous..."

"It's not because of you, don't take the blame on your own, brother, they are just selfish, and chasing stars is already pathological. If Brother Shen is an idol, it makes sense to forbid dating during the rising period, but he is not at all. , Besides, he has been in art for so long and his career has stabilized, so why not let him fall in love?"

Xia Xiai nodded, thought about it for a while, and suddenly thought: "Is there such a thing among my fans? Will it bring trouble to Jiang Liushen?"

"Your fans did have some dissatisfaction before, but how long have you been since your debut? Actually, fans haven't developed a particularly deep feeling for you. Unlike Brother Shen, some of them have been fans for more than ten years, and it's easy to assume too deep roles. I think she's his real girlfriend. Your fans are fine, at most you can tear it apart and get rid of the fans. Generally speaking, you won't be so clingy."

"And didn't I say it, frying cp is actually very helpful to your popularity, not to mention frying with Brother Shen, your fans have increased by nearly 30 million in the past half year, more than the previous year." Xu Tong Tong winked narrowly, "If you two make it public, I guarantee that 90% of your fans will support this marriage with both hands and feet."

Xia Xiai was teased slightly: "That's good... Let's be serious first, how did you deal with this?"

"Directly banned. They have no evidence, and few people believe the rumor that you are of bad character. We all know what happened to you at that time. But the title can only be suppressed temporarily, and they will definitely make a comeback. I discussed with the studio's public relations team. Come on, your past experience is indeed easy to be used as a stalk, so we decided to tell it in advance, to dominate public opinion, and to prevent future troubles."

When Xia Xiai heard that she was going to reveal her past to the public, she was a little nervous: "Then let me sort out my thoughts and think about what to say." He was not afraid of being known about his unbearable past, but he was worried that he could not explain clearly. Misunderstood again.

He didn't want to go through the painful situation that he had been in a hurry to talk about again.

Xu Tong smiled: "You don't have to come in person. You have us now, Brother Shen, and fans who love you and support you. We will protect you well."

Xia Xiai was stunned when she heard the words, and it took half a second to react.

Yeah...he's not alone now.

Once upon a time, he lived in a foreign land and was helpless, and was framed by relatives' children for stealing money. His classmates looked down on him from the countryside and agreed that he was lying. He had no room for refutation, stubbornly denied it, but was regarded as an object of collective exclusion and isolation, resulting in a loner for three years at school.

He endured and endured, and finally broke out in the stressful third year of junior high. The reason was that his classmates once again ridiculed him that he was no longer wanted. Those piercing words became the last straw that broke him, making him from forbearance and silence. A good student instantly turned into a bad boy who was angry and violent.

When he left school to work in a bar, he was alone. No one cared about him except the boss. Unexpectedly, he finally found out that even the boss who seemed to take care of him was thinking about it.

During the time he was wandering on the streets, he seemed like a lonely wandering soul, and he doubted several times whether this was the case in his life.

But now, he has a lot of these people around him.

"Touched" is not enough to describe, perhaps "gratitude" is the portrayal of his current mood.

"Thank you." Xia Xiai thanked sincerely, "Don't work too hard, I can help if you have any questions."

"What's more polite to us, silly brother." Xu Tong patted him on the shoulder, "Don't underestimate me, while you are practicing your songs, I am also trying to learn how to be an agent, let you see me Progress! This is guaranteed to be done properly for you!"

Xia Xiai agreed with a smile.

In the days to come, with so many people accompanying him, there is nothing to fear.

Xu Tong's actions were vigorous and resolute, and a video that caused a heated discussion appeared on Weibo the next day. Even if Xia Xiai knew about it in advance, she was shocked by the content.

The person who was interviewed in the video was actually the head teacher of his junior high school.

Compared with a few years ago, the head teacher has not changed. He pushed his reading glasses and told the story of the year with a serious face: "...Xiai has always been a good student, excellent in both character and study, and helpful. But my He was careless at the time and didn't notice that he was bullied for a long time, which led to him dropping out of school..."

The video was produced by the third-party manufacturer Gossip We Media. Once released, it immediately attracted countless people who eat melons to watch and comment:

[I heard about Xia Xiai fighting and dropping out of school during the drug abuse incident a while ago. Later, she seemed to be suppressed. I thought it was a black history, but I didn't expect it to reverse. ]

[Why does the kind and lovely younger brother suffer from these? ? It's pathetic enough to be an orphan at such a young age, yet to treat him like this...]

[If you let me know where the little beasts who bullied my brother are now, I will definitely rush over and beat them! ]

[I apologize for laughing at Xia Xiai's low education before, but it can be seen from the show that he is very literate. ]

[I used to think that my brother was too salty and didn’t laugh much. I thought it was pretending to be cool, but now I know what happened. If I exchanged life with him, it’s hard to say whether I can stay strong or not. My brother is too powerful. ]

There is no need for fans to criticize, and the comments are overwhelmingly biased towards Xia Xiai.

Then in the afternoon, someone broke the news that they had seen someone who looked like Xia Xiai sing in a certain underground passage. At that time, they thought the homeless teenager was very handsome, so they recorded a video.

In the video, a thin boy dressed in poor but not dirty is singing, and the reverberation effect of the underground passage makes his singing more melodious and ethereal. The person who filmed the video came closer and shot his face.

The teenager's hair seems to have not been cut for a long time, and the long bangs block the big eyes, but they can't block the light reflected in the eyes. When he saw the camera approaching, he stopped singing immediately, stepped back with alert eyes, and moved his dry, peeling lips and said:

"Sir, stop taking pictures."

The photographer stopped recording when he heard this.

What kind of eyesight are the fans, when they saw the video, they immediately recognized their idol, and they felt so distressed that the entire fan circle cried a lot.

This situation was not expected by Xu Tong. They only commissioned the release of the previous video. The second video was purely a surprise. It suddenly brought public opinion to the climax, and related hot searches and topics remained high all day. , sensation inside and outside the circle.

So the studio made persistent efforts, and on the third day, it released the last revelation, or statement, on its official Weibo account.

In the statement, the official acknowledged the recent stories circulating on the Internet. Xia Xiai did drop out of school after fighting, and also wandered on the streets. The reasons must be known to everyone, so I won't repeat them. On another point, Mr. Xia Xiai entrusted the studio to issue a statement to apologize, saying that when he was a minor, he was forced to work in a bar for a living. .

As soon as the statement came out, many media and well-known marketing accounts forwarded it one after another. The fans were emotionally excited after being abused for a day.

Almost no one accused Xia Xiai of what she did in the past, and expressed sympathy and admiration unanimously, and even many Weifans who had previously lost their fans due to his ambiguous relationship with Jiang Liushen were brought back.

So far, this "dark history" that was once used as a time bomb has finally become a real old thing, and there is no need to worry about it being used by anyone to spread rumors.

In Xu Tong's words, "it's easy to take off the burden."

But in Xia Xiai's heart, it was another description.

These cruel past events that once embarrassed him, made him unbearable, and hated him, have unconsciously become a fleeting moment that will not cause any waves in his memory.

The haze in my heart was dispelled by the warm sunlight, and what my grandfather had said to him a long time ago emerged:

"Xiai is a good boy. Even if Grandpa is gone one day, someone will love you for Grandpa."

This sentence has been doubted countless times by him, and now, he can finally believe it.
