His fans were hoping for chaos, so they enthusiastically forwarded and spread the video, making sure no one missed it.
These aren't his fans, they're Mingming his haters!
Su Huaiming couldn't process this, and stayed in his room for a full two hours.
The housekeeper was unaware of the situation beforehand, but was forced to learn the news. He was very understanding of Su Huaiming and kept looking at the closed door with worry, fearing that Su Huaiming might not be able to bear the fact and might do something rash.
Seeing that Su Huaiming had not come out, the butler had no choice but to call Fu Jingfan.
Fu Jingfan had known about this matter for a long time, but he felt that if he were present, it would probably be another shock to Su Huaiming, so he pretended not to know. But now it seems that this matter has hit Su Huaiming harder than he imagined, and Su Huaiming is no longer able to handle it on his own.
After receiving a call from the housekeeper, Fu Jingfan put down his work and took a car home.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I opened the door, I saw Su Huaiming holding a fruit platter, sitting on the sofa watching TV, looking quite relaxed, and occasionally chuckling.
Fu Jingfan paused and turned to look at the butler.
The butler forced a smile, chuckled awkwardly, and then looked speechless.
Fu Jingfan hesitated for a few seconds, then stepped forward and sat down next to Su Huaiming.
Su Huaiming was quite surprised to see Fu Jingfan. "Why did you suddenly come back?"
"I left the documents at home, so I came back to get them," Fu Jingfan casually made up an excuse.
Su Huaiming believed it to be true and didn't ask any questions; his attention was immediately drawn to the TV series.
Fu Jingfan observed Su Huaiming's expression for five minutes before tentatively asking, "Are you alright?"
While crunching on an apple, Su Huaiming mumbled, "I'm perfectly fine."
Su Huaiming's reaction was so different from that of ordinary people; the better he performed, the more worried people became.
Su Huaiming guessed Fu Jingfan's thoughts and said proactively, "I've thought about it. It makes no difference whether one person knows or many people know. The nature of the matter itself hasn't changed. Besides, as long as I disconnect from the internet, I won't be affected in any way. No one will come up to me and deliberately bring up that matter."
At this point, Su Huaiming paused, his gaze towards Fu Jingfan tinged with resentment, and silently added, "Except for you."
Fu Jingfan: "..."
He had come back to comfort Su Huaiming because he was worried about his condition, but he never expected that he was the one who posed the greatest threat to Su Huaiming.
Seeing Su Huaiming acting as if nothing had happened, Fu Jingfan's lips curled slightly, his expression revealing a hint of pleasure.
Su Huaiming has strong mental fortitude and a unique way of thinking. He was embarrassed about this yesterday, but now that almost everyone knows about it, he's actually quite accepting of it.
Fu Jingfan found him increasingly interesting—every reaction was unexpected, leaving him completely baffled and compelled to explore further, to discover what lay hidden within him.
The housekeeper felt he had done something wrong and didn't dare to look Fu Jingfan in the eye, keeping his head down the whole time.
He swore to God that Su Huaiming was in very bad condition before the call, and he didn't know why Su Huaiming seemed like a completely different person after only ten minutes.
Fu Jingfan had so many things to deal with, every minute was money, yet he called Fu Jingfan back, wasting a lot of time. Given Fu Jingfan's efficiency-oriented nature... the butler couldn't help but shudder.
Contrary to the housekeeper's expectations, Fu Jingfan was in a very good mood. After confirming that Su Huaiming was alright, he stayed at home for a long time until he finished lunch before returning to the company.
The butler breathed a sigh of relief when he was not blamed. After thinking it over carefully, he suddenly felt something subtle.
This wasn't the first time. In previous phone calls with Fu Jingfan, when he mentioned Su Huaiming, Fu Jingfan always returned home quickly and didn't seem to care about wasting time, which is very rare for a workaholic who values efficiency.
Thinking this, the butler couldn't help but click his tongue twice, his eyes brightening as he looked at Su Huaiming, a smile growing increasingly unrestrained as he smiled.
... It was a light bump.
*****
The day for recording the variety show arrived quickly.
Su Huaiming packed his luggage and took Fu Xiaoxiao to the airport.
He looked at the sky outside, and suddenly the image of Fu Jingfan's expression before he left home that morning flashed before his eyes.
That's really strange.
Su Huaiming had a vague sense of foreboding, but he couldn't quite grasp it. He could only comfort himself with a few words and force himself to forget the thought.
Fu Xiaoxiao suddenly wanted to eat snacks from a nearby store, so Su Huaiming helped him put on a mask and asked the nanny to take him to buy some.
Su Huaiming sat alone in the rest room waiting for Fu Xiaoxiao, but instead of Fu Xiaoxiao, a large group of people appeared, including a familiar face.
Zhou Hanyan's eyes lit up when he saw Su Huaiming, and he ran over like an enthusiastic dog, speaking rapidly like a barrage of words, "Mingming's only been a little over ten days, but it feels like I haven't seen you in ages! How have you been these past few days? Do you know where we're filming next episode? Have there been any new guests?"
Zhou Hanyan too many questions, Su Huaiming didn't know which one to answer for a moment, and besides, that wasn't the focus right now!
He smiled and pointed behind him, reminding Zhou Hanyan, "What are you doing here...?"
Zhou Hanyan then remembered the important matter and said very seriously, "These are the core members of our fan club, who came especially to see you off at the airport. What other celebrities have, you should have too!"
Seeing Su Huaiming looking over, the fans all pulled out the light boards and banners they had prepared in advance, creating a spectacular sight. In particular, the eight characters on the banner were the kind that could make Su Huaiming ascend to heaven.
—A close and passionate dance, the king of dog dance.
While other fans meticulously select retouched photos of their idols, his fans went to great lengths to find a silly meme of him and printed it out in a large print.
Not only that, the support slogans on the light boards were also bizarre: "It's our blessing to be your fan," "Today I'm going to poison your mouth until you're mute," "I'll remember you Unforgettable," "Do you still remember Su Huaiming dancing with a dog by Daming Lake?"
"..."You have offended me!!
Su Huaiming's lips twitched a couple of times, his expression finally breaking down, but then he remembered that these people were all his fans, so he managed to swallow the anger that was stuck in his throat and greeted them with a smile.
Su Huaiming has an innate affability and a lazy temperament, as if he doesn't care about anything. There is no pressure in being with him, unlike a celebrity who is distant.
The fans were initially excited, but after spending just a few minutes together, they completely relaxed.
One of the round-faced girls stared intently at Su Huaiming and let out a small squeal, "You're even prettier in person than on TV! Your skin is amazing, no wonder you're my beautiful wife!"
Su Huaiming originally wanted to strike up a polite conversation, but when he heard the last four words, his features became wrinkled, and he gave a puzzled "hmm".
The person next to her nudged the round-faced girl with their elbow, making a whispering gesture, but without lowering their voice at all, "Keep it down. Let's talk about this in private, not in front of Su Huaiming."
Su Huaiming's expression was strange, and he seemed about to say something but hesitated.
You'd better not say that in private!
Before he could even offer some advice to the two fans, another person approached, frowning, and said, "Why aren't you wearing makeup? Don't you know there are a lot of paparazzi at the airport who will deliberately find angles to take unflattering pictures of you? Don't take your good looks for granted and neglect your image!"
Before Su Huaiming could even reflect on his actions, the fan continued, "We fans will also lose face because of you. Let me make this clear: I'm a fan of your looks. If you become even the slightest bit uglier, I will unfollow you without hesitation. Don't blame me then!"
Su Huaiming felt that idol worship was a matter of mutual consent and didn't think it was heartless, so he didn't say much.
The other fans, however, seemed to have found kindred spirits and gathered together, chattering excitedly, leaving Su Huaiming standing to the side.
Su Huaiming found a moment and secretly whispered in Zhou Hanyan's ear, "Is this how other fans act when they greet someone at the airport?"
Zhou Hanyan's lips twitched twice, and he said with difficulty, "It might be a little more friendly, but we appreciate your sincerity, it's genuine."
Su Huaiming thought about these words for a moment and nodded.
These fans came to the airport specifically to see him off, sacrificing their rest time, spending money, and preparing so many banners and light sticks. They must have done this because they like him.
He felt he couldn't let his fans down, and was about to cooperate when a fan approached him and asked, "Su Huaiming, what were you thinking back then, dancing intimately with a dog on the street? Was Fu Jingfan not enough for you?"
As soon as he said this, a group of fans immediately turned to look at him, their eyes filled with gossip, as if they wouldn't stop until they got an answer.
Su Huaiming hadn't expected to face this scene; his ears rang, and his mind went blank.
Seeing that Su Huaiming did not answer, everyone asked questions all at once:
"No normal person would do something like this. Are you under too much pressure and want to vent?"
"I think you dance really well, could you send us a video to teach us?"
"Yeah, when we cheer for you, we'll all do this dance!"
Su Huaiming: "..."You're all devils.
He thought that as long as the internet was disconnected, it wouldn't affect him, since no one would actually dance in front of him in real life... but it turns out that someone really would!
Can't you guys have some sense of boundaries?!
As the fans' questions became increasingly outrageous and bizarre, Su Huaiming didn't want to answer them directly, but he knew he couldn't escape it, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "I was drunk at the time and couldn't control my behavior, which is why I did that."
A fan, eyes wide, asked, "How much did you drink?"
Su Huaiming held up two fingers.
The fan suddenly realized. "You drank two bottles of baijiu?"
Su Huaiming shook his head.
"Were those two glasses?"
Su Huaiming gave a dry laugh. "It's two bottles of alcoholic beverages."
This answer completely stunned the fans, who were left utterly bewildered.
"The alcohol content of alcoholic beverages is so low that it can be ignored; they can only be considered drinks," someone asked the probing question.
"..." Su Huaiming felt a little embarrassed and avoided eye contact. "I... I thought so too, so I drank two bottles in one go. I didn't expect to get that drunk."
After Su Huaiming finished speaking, there was a three-second silence before the fans suddenly burst into laughter, clutching their stomachs and completely disregarding Su Huaiming's feelings.
Su Huaiming couldn't hold back any longer. He turned his head expressionlessly, looked at Zhou Hanyan with a resentful gaze, and asked with his eyes, "Do you think now is a suitable time to see him off?"
Zhou Hanyan silently held her head in her hands, silently apologizing to Su Huaiming in her heart.
He had already organized a pick-up event at the airport, but he never expected to run into this... and he never expected these women to be so wild, actually asking him the question to his face!!
Zhou Hanyan didn't know how to prove her innocence and wished she could kneel down and beg her fans to stop asking questions.
Su Huaiming was already numb from the chattering around him. Seeing that these girls weren't very old and had come all this way to see him off, he reluctantly gave in, answering all their questions as if this wasn't happening to him.
As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.
"The store was having a buy-one-get-one-free promotion, and I hadn't tried it before, so I bought two bottles."
"After drinking it, I quickly lost consciousness. I don't know why I did that while I was drunk."
"Fu Jingfan was there; if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been able to get home safely."
"He got drunk and caused trouble for Fu Jingfan, and I've already apologized."
Upon hearing this, several fans cheered with bright eyes, their expressions visibly excited, repeatedly shouting, "So sweet!"
????
Su Huaiming carefully recalled his words, but he really couldn't understand what was so sweet about them, so he could only look at them with a bewildered gaze.
Su Huaiming answered all the questions, satisfying the fans' thirst for knowledge, and only then did they stop asking so many questions.
