Chapter 432: Chapter 433 Establishing Correct Values for Celebrity Worship

This Weibo post started radiating from the fans and attracted numerous marketing accounts who saw its rising popularity and immediately jumped on the bandwagon:

[He Jinxia suspected of confessing her love, the male star she likes is actually him!]

[He Jinxia is in love again, and this time she’s fallen for...]

[After being single for so many years, this male star has plucked the flower on the high cliff!]

Media outlets churning out articles about He Jinxia’s love life were numerous, each one of them masters of clickbait, leading people to read a lot of fluff without giving any concrete information on who He Jinxia was dating.

Due to the public’s keen interest in He Jinxia’s love life and friendships, and especially since she had just played the role of Dancing Girl in "World," creating a buzz for the Sheng Yan X He Jinxia ship, coupled with her weekly drama "High Energy Classroom" set to air tomorrow night—

#He JinxiaIsDating# unexpectedly caught fire and became a refreshing trend in the top ten hot search list.

While others were swept up in vicious disses, only she was talking about love; the others were amidst a bloody feud, but she was a cute little pink bubble, with all sorts of blessings harmoniously overflowing.

Whenever any opinion surfaced against the idea of their idol dating, they’d be gently and sincerely advised by the Timekeepers, who educated them on the concepts of harmony, love, mutual help, personal strength, and progress in fandom, guiding them onto the correct path of star-chasing and encouraging them to go further in their fandom journey.

At this point, "World" once again made a grand play on Weibo, securing six spots in the top ten hot searches.

To draw away some of the flak from Sheng Yan, "World’s" Weibo hastily released a PR post to celebrate "World" taking six spots in the top ten hot searches on Weibo.

Ah, you say He Jinxia isn’t related to "World"?

How could that be, when she’s a supporting actress in "World"? She’s absolutely related, very much so!

As soon as "World’s" official Weibo post went live, unsurprisingly, it attracted a slew of haters and true fans who had moved over from Sheng Yan’s Weibo.

[Getting bashed and ending up on six hot searches, you’ve got some nerve to post this, you’ve completely lost face for me!]

[Bro, although infamous is still famous, things are chaotic enough, could you not add to the trouble, huh?]

[Who says Sheng Yan is washed up? The Imperial Army begs to differ, three out of the ten hot searches are about Sheng Yan!]

[Above commenter, are you an ally or an enemy?]

[Desperate to become famous, aren’t you!]

...

Amidst the support and criticism, the phrase #WorldTakesSeven# quietly climbed up the hot search list, switching positions every minute. In just half an hour, it had shot up from fiftieth to tenth place.

By then, "World" had smoothly achieved the feat of having seven related searches of the top ten hot ones.

Even the official V of "World" had not expected this; who knew a celebratory Weibo post about "six in ten" could spark such heated discussion...

He Jinxia was stealthily observing the hot topics on Weibo when, after hanging up on Luo You and Cheng Xiaohua for the n-th time, Mrs. He’s call came through on the n+1 attempt.

He Jinxia blinked, just having answered when Sheng Yan happened to walk in from the meeting room outside, his gaze intensely fixed on her.

In her ear, Mrs. He’s stern voice came through, "Jinxia, are you dating someone?"

He Jinxia glanced at Sheng Yan, then at her phone, feeling rather troubled.

Filled with tremendous guilt towards Sheng Yan, He Jinxia unwaveringly replied, "No!"

Mrs. He visibly relaxed, "That’s good there’s nothing, then what’s with the text you posted on Weibo?"

He Jinxia: "This line of text is from a book I was reading, I found it very beautiful, and the story of the protagonist in it is quite complicated, so I was moved to post it."

Mrs. He: "So that’s the case, where are you, and when will you be coming home?"

He Jinxia paused, did this mean that Luo You hadn’t mentioned to her mother what happened at the concert?

He Jinxia tentatively said: "I’ll be back soon, I’m with Brother Sheng Yan, planning to go back with him."

Hearing that she was with Sheng Yan rather than somewhere else, Mrs. He was even more reassured, "Mhm, if you don’t understand something, just ask Sheng Yan, don’t be shy."

He Jinxia: "Mom, I know when to draw the line."

After hanging up the phone, He Jinxia looked up again and saw Sheng Yan sitting on the couch in front, picking up a book to read.

Feeling uneasy in her heart, He Jinxia quickly stood up and walked over: "Let’s go back."

Sheng Yan looked up at her, a faint smile crossing his face: "Okay, let’s go home."

Sitting in the car, Luo You finally got through to He Jinxia’s phone, his first sentence wasn’t an accusation but asking if she was ready to go public?

This attitude surprised He Jinxia, and she hurriedly denied: "No."

Luo You: "Okay, then I know what to do next. Don’t post on Weibo anymore, otherwise, I can’t guarantee if I can cover for you."

He Jinxia softly acknowledged, and finally, she couldn’t help asking: "Aren’t you going to ask me why?"

Luo You: "At first when I heard you posted that Weibo, I was angry, but the team members reminded me, you’re not a machine, you’re a person with your own emotions. From the beginning, I didn’t package you as an idol star, but I hoped you could be your true self."

"But as you became more popular, I became overly cautious, accidentally walking into the death spiral of packaging an artist and neglecting your true thoughts. I need to correct that."

Luo You spoke earnestly, "Jinxia, remember, the team will always stand behind you. You are not fighting alone. If the sky falls down, we will be there to support it. I will not interfere with how you post on Weibo in the future.

But remember, after you post, tell me, don’t be like now, we heard about this message from someone else’s mouth."

A wave of emotion swept through He Jinxia’s heart, she spoke softly: "Brother Luo, I know you’re looking out for me, it’s just that I felt upset, and I couldn’t feel relieved without venting, so I just did as I pleased."

In ancient times, she has always endured, even in the freer modern times, occasionally she wanted to release herself.

Moreover, she didn’t regret what she had done, Sheng Yan deserved her support, even if people online didn’t know what she was hinting at.

The next day, He Jinxia woke from her sleep and entered the film set before dawn, continuing filming.

The online discussion had fermented overnight and the intensity of the discussion had decreased. This morning, a well-known paparazzi exposed the news of another star couple’s infidelity, which kicked "World" off the top of the trending searches and climbed to the top position of the hot search list.

Marital infidelity can be seen as a social issue, closely related to people’s realities, and it had a more explosive element compared to news about Sheng Yan’s "declining popularity, regressing acting skills" and so on.

By the time He Jinxia had finished filming in the morning, the topic of "World" had already dropped to beyond the top ten.

In corners unknown to He Jinxia, the fan group shipping Sheng Yan X He Jinxia began to grow; of course, there were more Sheng Yan fans who disliked He Jinxia than there were shippers.

The haters kept saying under He Jinxia’s Weibo post from yesterday that she was riding on Emperor Sheng’s coattails. As time went on, this voice would certainly explode, but for now, it remained weak and unnoticed.
