Chapter 23 Held in Place
Bai Zhu POV
The internet rose and fell in a blink.
I had gone back to real life. I had not logged into the Yu Qing Tong Xing Account for a long time. When I happened to open it, the Fans had quietly grown from a hundred thousand to three hundred thousand.
The old classic cuts and Fancam videos had slowly doubled in plays too.
"What are you looking at?"
Xia Yulie walked out of the kitchen, glanced at my laptop, then shoved me straight into his arms.
"Mm-mm-mm-mm! What are you doing!"
"Did you not like Male Mommy?" Xia Yulie said, a smile that was not quite a smile on his face. "There is a ready-made Male Mommy right here. You still want to look at someone else?"
I finally fought my way out of that chest, and only then saw the screen sitting on a few private messages from Fans.
Xia Yuqing's chest Fans: "Are you really not coming back?"
"Xia Yuqing has improved so much. He dumped those ugly clothes. The styling at the last Music Festival was straight-up Male Mommy level!"
"If you were still around, you would definitely shoot god-tier photos!"
Hah.
Xia Yulie let out a cold snort above my head. "A cheap imitation."
He used to only play rock and play the tough guy. When stylists told him to go heavier on the makeup, he would not do it. Sometime along the way he had started caring about his image, and he kept quietly copying that persona.
I had to admit, Xia Yuqing had more and more Fans now. New Fansite Master Accounts were pouring in.
In sharp contrast: Zheng Fengchen.
His Fandom had gone through a huge shakeup. His skill could not keep up either. He was fading out of the industry's view.
His latest updates showed him performing at obscure commercial gigs.
He could not even put up a proper stage. Fans ran. The old glory looked like a short bloom, then silence.
The jealousy on Xia Yulie was too thick.
I had only searched my old Idol for a little while, and he shoved me back into his arms.
"Did you not want to look at Male Mommy? I am showing you for real. Why are you hiding?"
Was that hiding!
I was clearly getting smothered by pecs, about to run out of air!
Xia Yulie was that petty. He even remembered my old talk with Zheng Fengchen's Studio!
No wonder he was wearing the apron with nothing under it now.
