The ridiculous production team, because Xu Renjian had mentioned “Huiying’s little boss” to Chu Qing, and it was unclear whether the production team was scared or Huiying had intervened, the entire segment was cut. Of course, Yu Weixi felt that this show was just capitalizing on his infamy. With this cut, the fan wars between everyone and his fans would just serve as a wedding dress for the show’s popularity.
In other words, what the audience saw was Yu Weixi throwing a water bottle at Xu Renjian for no reason.
{Even if Xu Renjian’s attitude wasn’t that respectful, Yu Weixi didn’t need to personally attack him like that, right?}
{He just wants to get attention, right? Isn’t he always like this? Jumping around everywhere to create hype.}
Yu Weixi: “…”
Fine, in any case, he was the one who benefited no matter the outcome.
Yu Weixi wouldn’t clarify either. After all, clarifying would drag Chu Qing into it, which was too much trouble. Not to mention that he had earned a bunch of dark energy from this.
Yu Weixi activated the system.
{Ding-dong! Congratulations, Host. You have obtained a total of five hundred and eighteen dark energy points and are about to reach the critical value.}
Yu Weixi: “Activate the shop interface.”
{Countless new treasures have been released this season, including 5 reputation points, 5 beauty points…} The system introduced them one by one: {And our latest wonderful love package!}
Yu Weixi raised an eyebrow.
“What’s in the package…?”
{This is a box for keeping marriage and love fresh! It contains +5 to never going soft, +5 to a youthful and strong waist, and most importantly, +5 to stamina. A super value offer, limited to three days!}
Yu Weixi: “…”
Yu Weixi: “No need, I don’t need it, thank you.”
The car entered the residential complex. Yu Weixi turned off his phone and got out of the car.
…
After the recording ended, Chu Qing also returned home. As a result, he saw a black Ferrari parked downstairs. The windows were tinted completely black.
But Chu Qing knew who was inside.
“Ding-dong.”
Chu Qing received a text message.
{Get in.}
Chu Qing took a deep breath. Thinking of Yu Weixi’s matter, he had no choice but to open the car door and get into the back seat.
A man in a red suit was sitting on the side with his legs crossed. His shirt was not fully buttoned, and his arrogant and domineering appearance made Chu Qing not dare to look at him.
—It was precisely Huiying’s little boss, Huo Liao.
Chu Qing paused and said, “Did you ask the production team to cut that segment?”
“What else? Let everyone know about those shameful things between you and my brother?”
Chu Qing was a little angry. He clenched his fists. “You… even if people misunderstand, they will only misunderstand that it’s you and me! You were the one who forced the resources on me and made a big fuss about changing the cast. If it weren’t for what you did, how could people…”
It was this man who had pushed him into this situation of being hated by the entire internet, making it difficult for him to move a single step.
But he didn’t even dare to resist.
“Chu Qing!” Huo Liao’s face was a little twisted. He leaned forward and grabbed Chu Qing’s collar. “Face the reality. My brother, the big boss of Huiying, Huo Li, doesn’t love you at all. You’re just a dog he keeps. He’s abroad and doesn’t care about you at all!”
“Besides money, what has he ever given you?”
Chu Qing’s face turned pale.
Huo Liao’s voice softened. He looked into Chu Qing’s eyes. “Do you think I wanted to do those things before? If you had obediently chosen to give up on my brother, would I have done that? I can give you what my brother can. I have plenty of money.”
Chu Qing lowered his eyes and didn’t speak.
Huo Liao paused, in disbelief. “You don’t like my brother, do you?”
Chu Qing avoided the question. “I, I just came to tell you to release the cut segment. Huiying can deny it, and I can also clarify…”
“Get lost!” Huo Liao pushed Chu Qing away.
Chu Qing steadied himself and mustered up his courage to continue, “I, I’m telling you, if you don’t do this, then I don’t mind blowing things up. It’s best if it reaches Huo Li. Then none of us will have a good time.”
Although Yu Weixi didn’t mind, Chu Qing didn’t want his only friend to be smeared because of him.
Huo Liao’s eyes widened, and he glared at Chu Qing fiercely.
“You dog.” Huo Liao roared, “Get lost!”
Chu Qing had said what he needed to say. He opened the door and left with a blank expression.
…
That night, while Yu Weixi was practicing dance in his own dance room, the tide of public opinion online had changed.
First was Chen Taochuan. Chen Taochuan directly reposted a marketing account’s post and wrote a long article passionately restoring the situation at that time.
—It was Xu Renjian who first attacked Mr. Chu with false rumors. Our Mr. Yu spoke up to support him. Why is he still being misunderstood?
Chen Taochuan was a contestant, but he openly confronted the production team, not caring about anything, with only his idol in his eyes.
Afterward, Feng Yan, Chu Qing… all the mentors silently reposted it.
Netizens: “…”
Fine, although Yu Weixi was a contrarian, when something happened, all the mentors of the entire production team were helping to repost.
“You and Mr. Yu, is there really nothing… else between you?”
In the car, after the manager finished the call, she couldn’t help but say to Feng Yan, “You rarely step forward like this.”
The manager had just finished a call with the production team. The purpose of the call was simple: to ask the production team not to maliciously edit and to release the full version.
Feng Yan had established his own entertainment company and still held shares in his former company. His words carried a lot of weight, but Feng Yan usually wouldn’t have his team call the production team to use his authority like this.
“No.” Feng Yan leaned against the pillow in the back seat and rested with his eyes closed.
The manager frowned in confusion.
In any case, after the full video was released, the public’s target of attack shifted from Yu Weixi to Xu Renjian.
XXX: Trash Xu Zunzhong, I feel like you’re not respecting our intelligence. Although Chu Qing isn’t a good person either, what face do you have to think that you sing well, you plagiarism dog.
XXX: Hahahaha, quote of the year: I feel like you’re not respecting me.
XXX: Xu Zunzhong, please withdraw from the All-Idol show. No mentor on earth can teach you.
Yu Weixi looked at the comments online and was a little speechless.
No wonder the dark energy had suddenly gotten stuck today. It turned out he had been whitewashed.
Yu Weixi sat in his own dance studio to rest, wiping his sweat while scrolling through his phone.
Wow.
Yu Weixi hadn’t even finished reading the comments roasting Xu Renjian, hadn’t had enough time to be happy, when there was new gossip.
After Xu Renjian was publicly exposed and flamed on the hot search, he probably decided to go for mutual destruction, determined to drag Chu Qing down with him.
Although the production team, under pressure from Huiying and Feng Yan, had released the full video, they naturally didn’t dare to release Xu Renjian’s line about Huiying. That sentence was cut in half, preserving Xu Renjian’s ignorance while not causing Chu Qing and Huiying to lose face.
So Xu Renjian directly posted about it on Weibo, and even posted several times in a row, furiously trying to get attention.
@XuRenjianNo.1: Chu Qing is just Huiying’s little boss’s dog. Does anyone not know that?

Only then did everyone know why Xu Renjian had insisted that Chu Qing and the little boss were in a sugar daddy relationship. It turned out he had witnessed it directly.
The photo was a bit dim, but it was still clear. At the entrance of a hotel, Chu Qing and a man in a red suit were walking out together. The man raised his hand as if he wanted to grab Chu Qing. In any case, the posture was ambiguous.
So, the blame was passed from Yu Weixi to Xu Renjian, and then from Xu Renjian to Chu Qing.
Yu Weixi: “…”
Yu Weixi hadn’t expected the situation to develop so strangely, like a drama series, you make a move, I’ll counter.
Is it necessary??
Wouldn’t it have been better to just let me be smeared??
Yu Weixi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Then, it wasn’t the strangest, only stranger.
After Yu Weixi finished practicing and sat down again, the tide of public opinion on Weibo had changed yet again.
It started with Feng Yan posting on Weibo, directly clarifying the matter between Chu Qing and Huiying.
@Actor Feng Yan: Let’s end this here. Don’t cause any more trouble for everyone.

Feng Yan posted a group photo, with the location tagged as Huiying Hotel. It was a dinner party, and Chu Qing, Huiying’s little boss, Feng Yan, and two other actors were also there.
The implication was that he was also there that day.
Yu Weixi didn’t know that Feng Yan had requested the production team to release the full version, so he didn’t know why Feng Yan was helping Chu Qing clarify. But Yu Weixi still breathed a sigh of relief.
It was good that it ended like this.
It really was… a series of disasters caused by a single sentence.
It was rare for Feng Yan to speak out on this matter. Yu Weixi was a little curious about the reaction of the people in the FengYu Super Topic.
They couldn’t still be wailing about a BE, right? This was a huge piece of candy!
…
XXX: Wuwuwu my ship, even if it’s a BE, it has to be a spectacular, beautifully tragic BE!
Yu Weixi: “????”
XXX: It’s a good result, I guess. Meeting again after many years, although we’re no longer familiar, I will still break my principles to support you.
XXX: A dream back then, a post many years later. Whether the debt is cleared or still owed, only the heart knows.
XXX: Weakly saying, didn’t someone say before that Xixi got into Yan-ge’s car? Wasn’t the live stream also quite romantic? How did it become a BE?
XXX: Real and fake, who knows? But whether it’s rekindled love or a love that once was, I’m already satisfied QAQ. I’ve reconciled with the world.
The Super Topic was in a state of ascension.
Yu Weixi: “…”
BE, BE all day long. Have you asked the actual people involved?! How did it become a BE?!
Yu Weixi decided to give his fans a loving, venomous beating. Tomorrow, he would post a group photo and give them candy!
Super fierce!
Translator’s Notes
- Huiying : Means “to shine” or “to reflect.”
- Xu Zunzhong : This is a nickname the netizens gave Xu Renjian. “尊重” (zūnzhòng) means “respect,” mocking his line “I feel like you’re not respecting me.”
