Chapter 103
A reporter finally couldnt help but said, Mr. Fu, is this your impulsive decision?
No, Fu Jinxiao replied honestly, Ive thought about it for a long time.
Again, it only took him one sentence to shut everyone up.
There might be people who feel that announcing their relationship would lead to a downturn in their careers fans usually threatened them with leaving the fandom if they got into a relationship, plus there were many unsavory people who purposefully published stinky rumors.
However, all of these did not deter Fu Jinxiao. He looked calm and calculated, just like when he wanted to enter the entertainment circle back then.
The reporters repeatedly asked questions one after another:
Mr. Fu, did you quit the circle because of your relationship?
Will you retire to behind the scenes work instead?
Have you thought about your future development?
What is your future career plan?
Everyones question was rather sharp, but it was indeed a question that everyone was curious about. Especially now that it was still streamed live. New audiences poured it, holding their breath as they impatiently waited for the answers.
After hearing these questions, Fu Jinxiao smiled and replied, Half and half, filming and singing are my pleasures, but I have already won all the awards that I could win, and I already have experienced all the roles I want to play. Now, I just want to change my environment and experience a different life.
Although, Its partly because my family has always hoped that I could go back and help, Fu Jinxiao glanced at Shen Xingsui next to him, and said with a smile in his voice, And lastly, if I retire, it means I can spend more time with my lover.
The noise from the audience doubled again. Everyone immediately broke into discussions.
For a long time, the publics evaluation of Actor Fu was that hes a steel straight man1not really straight as in heterosexual, but more like his attitude like the typical straight boy who is oblivious/dense as rock.. Because no matter what the occasion, he never picked up the ambiguous advances from female celebrities. He also was clean and self-sufficient, without a bad reputation. Everyone thought that he was too straight and didnt know how to be romantic.
But now, it was proven that their evaluation was wrong.
His sense of romance was limited, firm, yet all-encompassing. He was willing to step down from his throne for the sake of love.
This press conference detonated all media platforms tonight.

All three of these hot searches were marked with the words hot. Netizens who only caught up with the news thanks to these hot searches were in for a treat when they clicked on it. Some even wondered if these were all faked.
[No way, no way.]
[This doesnt seem real?]
[One hit is not enough, he gave us two hits instead.]
[Why Shen Xingsui!]
Although many people couldnt accept it, there are also many people who accepted it whole-heartedly. From the survival show of Starlight to the reality show, its only been two years. And during these two short years, people did notice that Fu Jinxiaos treatment towards Shen Xingsui was rather special. Coupled that with the movies plotline, many netizens were, in fact, their CP fans.
The cherry on top is that same-sex marriage is already legal.
In the past, CP fans only secretly shipped them on their lane, some even said that they must separate the movies fantasy from the actors reality. If some of them crossed the line, they would be scolded.
But in return, the two men in that CP were actually lovers.
This was simply a massive carnival for this subset of fans.
[The CP I shipped is actually real?!]
[Am I on ecstasy or something? Is it the Chinese New Year?
[Suisui and Mr. Fu really are each others boyfriend?]
[He really loves Suisui, and he made it clear a long time ago.]
[I agree, he has never concealed his love.]
Some people accepted it happily, and the others disapproved of it. Among these people, there were naturally some Fu Jinxiao only-fans, and they were of course not happy. For this subset of fans, some people sarcastically said towards them:
[It is said that if you announce your relationship, you will lose your fans. Mr. Fu gained 500,000 followers in one night.]
[The number of Suisuis fans has increased by more than 2 million.]
[Not bad, not bad. So, where are the cowards who said that they will stop being fans? Where are they? Come on, fulfill your promise already.]
[Stop threatening celebrities with that already. If you really forced your idol out of the circle, would you be satisfied?]
There were even some crazy groups that have come together to attack the Weibo and official account of the movie Lonely City, because they thought that it was the movies fault this happened. They blamed it on the movies themes and plot. There were even people who maliciously gave Lonely City a one-star rating on purpose.
During this kind of hubbub, Shen Xingsui was called the director.
Instead of the worst as he imagined, Zhang Sansan instead said, A big deal? Of course not! Suisui, Im okay, dont worry about me, I dont mind this kind of thing at all. Although the score is lowered, as long as we make movies with heart and clear conscience, everything will be fine in the end. Gold will always shine despite many people trampling all over it with their muddy shoes. Plus
Shen Xingsui asked, Plus?
Hey, because they do this, the popularity of movies is even higher. Today, we already gained 200 million in revenue, so a fifth of our 1 billion total, Zhang Sansan was very proud. Even if they maliciously gave us a poor score, so what? Really good movies are seen by the eyes. And their money.
Zhang Sansan hoped his words were enough to help Shen Xingsui. This was his first movie, after all, he didnt want it to affect the youths well-being.
Many voices of protest were fermenting on the Internet, and he saw them all. But his heart was no longer as fragile as before, because he knew that Fu Jinxiao was with him. As long as his lover accompanied him, he wasnt afraid of anything.
In contrast, Wang Meican was still a little worried about him. We have already arranged for people to go to clear the hall. Suisui, you dont have to take some words to heart.
Its okay, Shen Xingsui turned to comfort his agent instead. He smiled and said, Some peoples words are not completely unreasonable. Seeing my current accomplishments, its true that I dont match Teacher Fus. But I also understand now that I have my own life that they didnt have a say about. I cant satisfy them, and I wont. I just need to work hard to move forward. I think that sooner or later, I will also be with Teacher Fu, side-by-side.
Wang Meican was stunned for a moment, and then she sighed softly and said, Suisui.
Shen Xingsui: Huh?
You have grown up, Wang Meican gently patted his head, I also believe in you. I know that day will come sooner or later.
One of Fu Jinxiaos hardcore fans, called Little A as her display name, had been his fan since a long time ago. She was one of the fans that thought Shen Xingsui wasnt good enough for Fu Jinxiao.
[This Shen Xingsui is so young, what does he know about Mr. Fu?] Little A was very dissatisfied, she continued to type: [Maybe they will break up in half a year.]
Her sentiment was shared with many people in this group.
And there were quite a few old fans also, and there were even some relatively rich sisters mixed in. They were also quite hidden from the public eyes, so many people didnt know that their groups discussion was quite vitriol.
[Should we find a detective or something to dig out the black material of Shen Xingsui?]
[He must have plenty of scandals waiting to be unearthed.]
[Wait, isnt he rumored to be the culprit of a school violence case before?]
[That matter has been refuted and cant be used.]
They chattered, bouncing ideas from one another. Soon, it devolved into a complaining train.
[Why did Mr. Fu choose him?]
[He is not worthy of Mr. Fu.]
[Fuck, if Mr. Fu dated one of his fans, I wouldnt feel as uncomfortable. Look at our fellow sisters, they are all rich and beautiful, and most importantly, they loved Mr. Fu sincerely.]
[Agh, I remembered about Madam now. I can imagine how sad she must be on this situation]
[Im more worried now we must eliminate Shen Xingsui ASAP.]
Just as everyone was discussing, Little A had an idea. [I remember one time in that reality show, Shen Xingsuis trumpet was exposed in the hand of the staff. Do you think if we dig out his trumpet, will we be able to dig out something?]
This aroused them from their discussion!
Everyone was like a headless chicken before, but when they were suddenly reminded of this, they all came to their senses.
[It makes sense, it seems that someone has asked a big account to help with the investigation before, and they found some clues. We can ask, buy the news, and then expose it. If there is any black material, Shen Xingsuis true ugly face will be revealed!]
This idea was very popular.
The fans also have a leader here, and Little A naturally became the one who took the lead. She took the initiative to contact the big V, trying to find some clues. The account owner was not someone affiliated with the entertainment circle, although they did post some news about it from time to time. They usually had a lax personality.
Whats strange was that Little A got a quick reply despite not being very optimistic at first.
The account owner replied: [I found the original artist of that wallpaper. They posted it on their Weibo, then dipped out quickly after posting. When the show was broadcast, that picture only appeared for 10 seconds or so, and the wallpaper itself wasnt very popular to begin with. There were only a few hundred comments on the original artists post. At that time, the cameraman did not capture the name of the account, but there was a recommendation on the homepage. I found that he followed another small-time artist, and I actually knew this artist.]
[After following this thread and finding the accounts comment on that artists work, I finally found them. But I wasnt sure at first, and it was a locked account to boot, so I did an investigation at first.]
[Originally I wanted to sell you the information directly, but after seeing some content of that account, I changed my mind. Some things have prices, and this one is not one of them.]
Little A didnt expect that the big V wouldnt sell her the information. Seeing that the clues were broken, she became a little anxious: [What does it mean that it cant be priced? Is it because the news is so big? It doesnt matter. You can just ask for a price. Does it have anything to do with Mr. Fu? As long as you ask for a price, our support club can raise money for you!]
The big V recalled the thousands of Weibo posts, and replied honestly: [Well, it is related, and it should be quite a lot, as theres years amount of content.]
Little A was already a little excited when she heard this. This plan was just a thought, but she didnt expect that there was a possibility of digging up some scandals!
The big V also seemed to hesitate for a while, and finally said: [Since you have such opinions on him and want to know the information so much, I wont sell them for money. I will directly publish the Weibo at night, so everyone will know.]
Little A was a little surprised, but didnt think too much about it. She was too blinded by this sudden joy. [No charge? Is it okay for you? If so, I will contact you and please post it on time. You must expose all of them!]
She happily hummed as she messaged the account owner. After that, she immediately shared the news with the group. Others were also equally as excited as her.
[Really?]
[I can finally see what kind of person he is.]
[Usually he behaves so well, who knows what kind of rotten person he actually is in private.]
[Ill contact the other little sisters and squat down tonight.]
[Thats right, we still have time to buy a hot search!]
[I hope this will expose some shameful things, so that Mr. Fu can see his true colors and break up with him!]
