Netizen 2: “I’m dying of laughter. Is that Xia Yi from 2G Network? Doesn’t he know that Little Jiu has a boyfriend? Yet he still says such things. I wonder what he’s thinking?”
Netizen 3: “Brother clarified his relationship with Su Jiu and even said that he would protect her. Can’t he do that? Are you suspecting that he has ulterior motives? Brother doesn’t deserve this!”
Netizen 4: “That’s right! I’m feeling indignant for my brother! Is Su Shengjing crazy? It’s as if everyone has designs on his daughter. Why doesn’t he go care about his daughter’s boyfriend instead? Why is he picking on Big Brother?!”
As soon as those fans left these comments, Su Shengjing’s fans got unhappy. They all ran to Xia Yi’s Weibo comment section to leave comments. “Then why did you bring up Daddy Su? Does your brother live under a rock, or does his phone not have an Internet connection? He doesn’t even know that Best Actor Su is a huge slave to his daughter!”
“How can Best Actor Su not react to those ambiguous words? Xia Yi must have done it on purpose!”
“Su Shengjing has always been like this. It’s not the first time. Those who said that he was targeting Xia Yi are fine, right? Your brother is just using Little Jiu’s popularity to create hype. He doesn’t have any brain cells. Ugh!”
Just like that, the fans started arguing until their faces and necks turned red. No matter what others thought, Xia Yi was very happy. Because of this, he was trending again.
Su Shengjing and Su Jiu were really popular.
He deleted the previous post, then re-posted it, saying he was in the wrong. He shouldn’t have said things like that to make everyone misunderstand. But he felt there was nothing wrong with protecting girls. That was what a man should do.
These words captured the hearts of countless fans again. They felt that their brother was too kind and had a good temper. On the contrary, Su Shengjing and Su Jiu were unreasonable and had let their brother down.
It was strange. No matter how careful Su Jiu was and how much she tried not to have any intimate contact with Xia Yi, the two of them would always be in some news from time to time, though it was just the marketing account making groundless accusations. Even if Su Jiu was just rehearsing her lines with Xia Yi normally, the marketing account would write that Xia Yi was watching her gently and that the scene was beautiful.
Su Jiu already had no words to say about this. She could not even be bothered to explain. However, if she saw anything too ridiculous, she knew she could not sit back and do nothing. She had to warn them, and if they still would not listen, she would have to send a lawyer’s letter.
Two months later, the production was finally completed. Su Jiu heaved a sigh of relief. During this period, she and Xia Yi had been on the trending searches frequently. Even if the netizens were not annoyed, she was. Now that the filming was over, she hoped there would not be any more messy news.
To celebrate the wrap, the director arranged for a celebration banquet at a nearby five-star hotel. After Su Jiu arrived at the private room, she found her seat and sat down. Xia Yi soon arrived and sat beside her.
Su Jiu felt uncomfortable. It was embarrassing enough acting as a couple with him in the show, and after all the gossip, she really had nothing to talk about with him. When the director and producer sat down on the other side of her, she could only turn to chat with the director to feel less embarrassed.
Soon, a sumptuous meal was served, along with a few dozen beers and a few bottles of red wine. The director was the first to open a bottle of red wine and said with a smile, “Today is the day we wrap up production. Thank you for your hard work during this period! Everyone, eat and drink to your heart’s content tonight. There’s no need to stand on ceremony. We won’t leave until we’re drunk!”
“Yes!” echoed the other actors.
Xia Yi meaningfully looked at Su Jiu beside him and echoed, “We won’t leave until we’re drunk!”
