Sorry, You Won't Blame Me, Right?

Everyone chimed in, all expressing concern for Jiang Fang.

It wasn't as if they were actually that close, but they still had to put on a show for the cameras. Otherwise, some nasty trending topic would pop up tomorrow.

"How did you accidentally fall?"

Qin Yan arrived in a hurry. He had jumped right before Jiang Fang, and his landing spot had been some distance away, so he was the last to arrive.

But the moment he came over, he hit the nail right on the head.

The air fell silent for a moment.

"Exactly. I remember that during rehearsals, your skydiving skills were among the best. How could you have been so careless?" Fang Yi was in the entertainment industry, but he came from a good family and was capable himself. He had gained a large fanbase as soon as he debuted and had enjoyed a smooth ride ever since, so he had little guile.

"Yeah, you were way too careless."

Jiang Fang lay on the ground and let the doctor examine him, taking in every expression on their faces.

Even though Bai Ziyu had hidden it well, Jiang Fang still caught the flash of shock and panic in his eyes when he saw him.

Watching him echo Fang Yi, that naive fool, and call him careless, Jiang Fang raised a brow and watched his performance at his leisure.

"When you fell just now, you scared me half to death. I wanted to reach out and catch you, but you were falling too fast. There was no time at all."

"Jiang Fang, I'm sorry. You won't blame me, right?"

The only sound left in the entire group was Bai Ziyu's rambling self-reproach. Every word sounded tearful, and he even wiped at his eyes, as though he truly blamed himself for failing to help Jiang Fang.

In the livestream, Bai Ziyu's fans were heartbroken.

[Yuyu, don't blame yourself. He was the one who was careless; it has nothing to do with you. You're just too kind. If you ask me, people need to know their limits. If they don't have the ability but insist on doing it anyway, they end up making others take responsibility.]

[Exactly, Yuyu, don't blame yourself. This has nothing to do with you. He's just some nobody—does he dare blame you?]

[Director, hurry up and replace him. Otherwise, how traumatized will our Yuyu be?]

[Exactly. This is wilderness survival, not some other variety show. Carelessness can easily get people hurt. He shouldn't drag everyone else down, right?]

The livestream comments were instantly flooded by Bai Ziyu's fans the moment he spoke. Apart from those sympathizing with their idol, everyone else was attacking Jiang Fang. Anyone unaware of the situation would have thought Jiang Fang had committed some heinous crime.

The more Bai Ziyu spoke, the more excited he became. The more thrilled he was inside, the guiltier he acted on the surface, as if he truly were exactly as he claimed.

Jiang Fang quietly watched him perform until Bai Ziyu stopped.

"Finished?"

Bai Ziyu said, "Huh?"

Why wasn't this going the way he had imagined? Shouldn't Jiang Fang have tearfully thanked him?

Jiang Fang deftly unfastened the harness on his body and slowly rose to his feet. Looking down at Bai Ziyu, he said meaningfully, "You should've been scared. After all, I've run into some dirty things these past few days. Maybe one of those dirty things didn't like the look of me and gave me a push."

He looked at Bai Ziyu, paused, and said, "But don't worry, Ziyu. Since it scared you, I'll definitely drag it out."

After surviving that near-fatal extreme skydive, his slightly long hair was somewhat disheveled. Dressed in professional skydiving gear, he was slender without being frail. His skin was so fair it reflected the sunlight, while his narrow, slightly upturned eyes were cold and sharp, carrying an expression that seemed to see through everything. Like a blade, they pierced straight into Bai Ziyu's heart.

With a guilty conscience, Bai Ziyu's face turned deathly pale in an instant.

The moment those words came out, everyone froze.

Jiang Fang's words had been far too pointed. He had practically spelled it out.

Without realizing it, the others instinctively took a step back, moving farther away from Bai Ziyu. Only Qin Yan kept his gaze on Jiang Fang.

Jiang Fang met his eyes, curled his lips slightly, shrugged, and smiled.

"J-Jiang Fang! How can you say that? I know you were frightened after falling, and I even came over to comfort you. Are you suspecting me? I'm a celebrity, at least. We're not related in any way... How can you treat me like this...?"

Bai Ziyu rubbed his eyes, looking as though he would burst into tears the next second.

As the two went back and forth, the livestream exploded.

[Fuck, what kind of idiot is this? Everyone was worried about him and comforted him, yet Jiang Fang is turning around and accusing Yuyu? Saying our Yuyu pushed him? Who does he think he is, some nobody? Our fans could drown him in spit, and he thinks he has the right?]

[How does someone like this deserve to be on the show? Director, why haven't you kicked him out yet? Jiang Fang, get out!]

[Jiang Fang, get out!!]

[Framing someone is illegal. If the production team wants to keep filming, make Jiang Fang get out!]

[Though Jiang Fang was wrong to falsely accuse someone, seeing Bai Ziyu like this feels so damn satisfying. He usually acts like such a pure little lotus, but now he's run into someone tough, huh? Hahahaha!]

"Jiang Fang! It was bad enough that you embarrassed yourself by lacking the ability, but now you're slandering someone else? You've really disappointed me! Apologize to Bai Ziyu immediately!" The moment Bai Ziyu cried, everyone snapped out of their initial shock.

Long Aozhi immediately launched into a tirade at Jiang Fang, righteously taking Bai Ziyu's side and criticizing Jiang Fang, as if he had forgotten that he himself had taken half a step back earlier.

Lin Sen withdrew his amused look and stepped forward as well, gently persuading, "Ziyu, don't be angry. Jiang Fang definitely didn't mean it. Jiang Fang, apologize to Ziyu too, and we'll call this matter settled. Don't you agree?"

He turned to look at Qin Yan and Fang Yi, who had remained silent behind him. His brows knitted slightly, giving him a pitiful air that made people want to step forward and rescue him from the awkwardness.

Unfortunately, Qin Yan ignored him and did not even spare him a glance.

He had truly been flirting with a blind man.

Lin Sen bit his lip, looking somewhat embarrassed, and silently cursed Qin Yan for not knowing how to appreciate tenderness.

Jiang Fang, however, looked at him, then at Lin Sen, and could not help laughing aloud.

This time, everyone's attention turned to Jiang Fang.

[What? He's actually laughing? What's so funny? This is the real-life version of repaying kindness with cruelty.]

[Sensen is way too kind. You can't even tell he's a rich second-generation heir. Too bad he helped the wrong person—Jiang Fang doesn't deserve it!!]

[Hahahaha, you're a new fan, aren't you? Us old fans all know Sensen isn't just any rich second-generation heir. He's good at everything and so considerate—my fated wife!]

[Is Qin Yan sick or something? So rude!]

[That's just Qin's personality. Besides, Qin and Lin Sen aren't even close. What's with that look on Lin Sen's face? They're both old foxes, so why bother playing tricks?]

[Do you really think Qin doesn't have fans?]

[Hahahahaha, I'm dying. Jiang Fang did great—I laughed too just now. I didn't expect him to be this bold, though. Lin Sen is so embarrassed, hahahaha!]

[Are the people siding with Jiang Fang poisoned? He falsely accused someone and still thinks he's in the right? Let's see how he explains himself!]

Under everyone's gaze, Jiang Fang's smile faded. He blinked innocently in confusion.

"Sorry, I couldn't hold it in." He paused, then explained, "Also, when did I ever say Ziyu pushed me?"
