To capture the brutality of war and everyone's reactions.

The cameraman had been standing fairly far away.

Ji Yan and Huo Xiao spoke at a normal volume, and their voices could barely be picked up.

Si Di had spoken through gritted teeth.

His voice was too quiet for the livestream to catch what he said.

All they saw was a group of people surrounding him, their faces full of concern.

Then, pale-faced, he ran off as if fleeing.

The comments immediately exploded:

[What happened to Di Bao?]

[He looked so awful. Li Si's words probably hurt him. After all, Li Si is a mentor. Being called out on his weak spot in front of so many people—if it were me, I couldn't take it either.]

[Poor 4D. Don't get emo, 4D, you're amazing!]

[Good thing it's a livestream. If this were another show, the editors could pull some godlike stunt and twist black into white, and Si Di would definitely end up taking the blame.]

[The entertainment industry is deep water. Right now, I just hope the production team of Limited Idol can look at the online comments and listen to everyone's suggestions. If a mentor lacks integrity, replace her already.]

[@Limited Idol Official]

As Si Di left, the camera shifted to another practice room.

But the incident quickly fermented online.

Elsewhere.

Qin Wei had just finished shooting a magazine cover. After changing clothes and getting back into the car,

his manager, Chen Wei, leaned over the front passenger seat, gossiping excitedly as she said,

"Qin Wei, you came out for a magazine shoot today and missed an absolutely spectacular show!"

In the entertainment industry,

there were countless disputes and disturbances.

Qin Wei had no interest in other people's affairs.

He pulled down the rear window shade, ready to catch up on sleep, when Chen Wei added,

"Si Di really held back this time. He fought with you so fiercely before, even daring to throw punches. I thought he had a fiery temper and feared no one. Who would've thought that when he got bullied this time, he wouldn't say a word?"

The moment she said that, Qin Wei's eyes snapped open.

The first thing that jumped into his mind was that creamy white kitten avatar.

Little Si Invincible, cutie, baby.

Archenemy, lunatic, rabies.

All those words blended together, eventually becoming Si Di's bright, youthful face.

Qin Wei felt like he had a bone stuck in his throat, thorns at his back, needles beneath him.

It irritated him, but he could not help asking, "Who bullied him? He's a lunatic with rabies. Who could possibly bully him?"

His tone was dripping with sourness.

It was impossible to tell whether he wanted to praise Si Di for being formidable or mock him for being sick.

Chen Wei was used to ignoring that and continued, "That female rap mentor from Limited Idol, Li Si."

"She seems to have it out for Si Di and takes every chance she gets to mess with him. During the mentors' guidance session today, Li Si deliberately made things difficult for Si Di. It's already trending, and there's a video. Watch it yourself."

While he was filming commercials, his manager kept his phone.

After saying that, Chen Wei proactively handed the phone back to Qin Wei.

His deep eyes narrowed.

Qin Wei opened Weibo and tapped into the trending searches.

#Si Di Harshly Criticized by Mentor Li Si#

It was number one, marked explosive.

His fingertip moved over, but he did not tap it.

Qin Wei noticed several trending topics listed directly beneath it, and his brows abruptly furrowed.

#Huo Xiao Fiercely Defends Si Di#

#Promoting Earthfire to the Whole World#

#Si Di Has Great Popularity, Fairy Ji Yan Gets Angry for Him#

The further he read, the colder Qin Wei's face became.

And they called themselves ordinary friends? Would ordinary friends disregard their own career prospects and fly into a rage to stand up for him?

Not even ghosts would believe that bullshit.

Qin Wei only felt green light swirling above his head. Suppressing his anger, he let out a snort and clicked the top trending topic first.

Compared to Si Di's rotten peach blossoms, Qin Wei wanted to know more about what grievance he had suffered.

When he opened the topic, a video popped up.

[The increasingly popular boy group survival show Limited Idol has drawn widespread attention after a mentor and contestant clashed. Reportedly, Si Di, who excels at singing and dancing but cannot rap, was harshly criticized in public by mentor Li Si. His friends all spoke up for him, while center Huo Xiao directly declared: Li Si, who the hell do you think you are?]

The more than ten-minute video completely restored the truth of what had happened.

The topic was being hotly discussed.

Reposts and likes had already exceeded a million, while comments had broken one hundred thousand.

The car drove smoothly down the road.

Chen Wei, seated in the front passenger seat, shook her head and said, "Did Si Di offend Li Si before? The two of them don't seem like people who would have had any contact. How did they end up fighting? It's one thing for Si Di to be at each other's throats with you, but he gets along this badly with everyone else too."

"Could there be something wrong with his personality?"

The moment she finished speaking, Qin Wei lifted his eyes and looked over.

His narrow eyes were filled with displeasure.

The faint warning in them was so sharp that Chen Wei awkwardly shut her mouth.

Sigh.

Qin Wei was quite strange too.

He and Si Di fought like fire and water, and when he got angry, he would even curse him a few times. Yet he could not tolerate anyone else saying bad things about Si Di.

After working together for years, Chen Wei still could not figure out whether Qin Wei and Si Di were enemies or friends.

Or perhaps... both rivals and friends?

An award-winning actor's heart was as unfathomable as the sea.

Chen Wei decided not to interfere.

Only after seeing that she had shut up and stopped attacking Si Di did Qin Wei withdraw his gaze.

He lowered his head and continued looking at his phone.

At the end of the video posted by the gossip account, a group of people surrounded Si Di with concern.

Si Di, meanwhile, was pale-faced and ran away as if fleeing.

Qin Wei's expression could not help turning solemn.

The little neurotic who was always brimming with energy, whose vitality could not be crushed even if the sky fell, really did seem off.

Judging by his complexion, he seemed to be in a bad mood.

Could it be because he had been blocked?

Qin Wei's long, bony fingers clenched. At last, he opened WeChat again.

The pinned account had long since disappeared.

But under new friends in his contacts, there was a new friend request.

Beside the creamy white kitten avatar was the nickname: Little Si Invincible.

For some reason,

Si Di's handsome face suddenly appeared in his mind.

Through the screen, Qin Wei seemed to see him clutching his phone, looking aggrieved and lost.

Si Di did not know he was V either.

So Si Di could not be blamed for this.

In a sense, Si Di was also a victim being toyed with by fate.

What was more, still kept in the dark, he had to endure the pain of suddenly being deleted.

If it affected his competition because of this...

The sight of Si Di silently enduring it in the video made Qin Wei's heart clench painfully for no reason.

He let out a deep breath.

He opened Little Si Invincible's friend request.

And tapped accept.
