Chapter 402: Official Announcement from the Girlfriend’s POV—Xiao He’s Fake Bromance
Chapter 399 of "Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore" unveils: The car slowly drove into the residential complex. Xiao He turned his head and, sure... Continue the story!
The car slowly drove into the residential complex. Xiao He turned his head and, sure enough, saw the car that had been following them stopped at the entrance.Xiao He finally let out a long sigh of relief.
"It's probably because the recent 'Corner Also' has attracted a large batch of new fans. Most of their perception of you is still stuck in Yin Qi's early-stage persona, and you've been deliberately restoring that 'Yin Qi' character image during your recent public appearances. So, compared to the 'awe' from longtime fans, they feel more of a sisterly or motherly type of possessiveness towards you."
Liu Rulan analyzed rationally.
Xiao He now got a headache whenever he heard "sister" or "mommy," and it even reminded him of that feeling of despair when a male fan called him "hubby" at a previous event.
As an artist, he was essentially a product, marketing himself to the public, so naturally, he had to respect these people's preferences.
But that wasn't a reason for them to push their luck, follow artists around, or even pry into others' privacy.
"Well, I'm just so grateful for that."
Xiao He said weakly as he got out of the car and returned to his residence.
"There's no helping it. 'Corner Also' skews towards a younger demographic, and the Yin Qi character is more likely to attract fans compared to other personas. Haven't you noticed many different voices gradually appearing in your recent comment sections?"
Xiao He: "...I took a look, but some of it was hard to keep my eyes open for."
Girls several years younger than him affectionately calling themselves "Mommy" online, while he, as the "good baby," was powerless to resist.
"Hold on a second."
Liu Rulan seemed to have a new development on her end and temporarily hung up the phone. Xiao He also opened his tablet to check the current related hashtags online.
It has to be said, this netizen who checked in with the girlfriend perspective was truly talented. She directly took photos of netizens running into Xiao He playing basketball, then took a photo of herself making a heart gesture next to the court. Through various photo splicing, she created a nine-square-grid set of photos portraying "girlfriend sweetly accompanying her boyfriend playing ball," posted it to her Moments with sweet captions, and officially announced her "boyfriend."
The funniest part was, the photos she posted on her Moments actually had people believing it. Elders in her family directly called to ask who her boyfriend was, and many friends left comments wishing them "99" (forever).
Said netizen: ...Next time, I'm never doing abstract stuff like this again! (Yeah, right!)
The comment section gradually went off-topic later on. Many people were interested not only in Xiao He but also in the people around him. And in the face of the great internet, almost everyone is transparent.
Before long, Xiao He's several dormmates had their basic information dug up, with He Junhao attracting the most discussion.
One highly upvoted comment asked: Since Xiao He is already so famous, why doesn't he think of bringing He Junhao along? Is he selfish, or is his relationship with He Junhao actually a fake, plastic brotherhood where they're friendly on the surface but not in heart? Or perhaps He Junhao is just hopelessly incompetent?
To be honest, when Xiao He saw this comment, even he was a bit dumbfounded.
Let alone He Junhao, who saw this news.
"What the hell, are they sick?"
Seeing these discussions, He Junhao's gaze involuntarily fell on a document beside him, then he gritted his teeth in anger.
According to their logic, if Brother Xiao doesn't help him become famous, then Brother Xiao is selfish? Their friendship is fake, and they're all just pretending?
"How Brother Xiao and I interact is none of their damn business! They have too much time on their hands, worrying about other people's affairs. Why don't they spend more time researching their own stuff?"
They're even trying to morally guilt-trip on my behalf now?
I spit on that!
