HEIFEIGU -Chapter 25

【Tao Yitao, what has the little captain done for the team all these years?】

Interesting. Xie Jixing’s mouse hovered over the title.

Suddenly, a flood of viewers entered the livestream.

【Xingxing, did you remove Little Tian by accident? Can you add Little Tian’s green bubble back?】

【Xie Jixing, you liked it by mistake, right?】

【Collective bullying is definitely not true. You can see how extreme their words were.】

【Can you clarify? Please.】

【With your relationship with Little Tian, you wouldn’t want to see him being cyberbullied.】

These accounts with “Tian” in their names—clearly Xia Letian’s fans.

They entered Xie Jixing’s livestream hoping to morally pressure him to clarify the forum’s claims of collective bullying, and to rescue Xia Letian. If he even voluntarily restored Xia Letian’s green bubble, that would be perfect.

Everyone had to survive in the entertainment industry. Xie Jixing would give them some face in the livestream.

He glanced at Big Eye Social: #Xie Jixing likes post about Summer Star collective bullying, trending.

No wonder—they smelled trouble and came.

He casually clicked into the new post: “Are you asking me about liking that post?”

“Not a slip.”

“I think the author’s logic is clear, writing concise, content detailed, reasonable. There’s nothing I need to clarify further. If you don’t leave, I suggest you read another masterpiece by this author.”

He then opened the post.

【Yes, it’s me, an old Summer Star fan.

Last post many said I wasn’t a fan, tried to dig up my identity—but whatever. Now Summer Star is disbanded, so I’m effectively an outsider.

Recently, my mood has been complicated, so I went through all my treasured materials again.

Since Xia Letian’s fans keep crying that he contributed the most, let’s take a look…

Video X1: This is the debut vlog of Summer Star as a group. From it, you can tell that Zhu Qian was the first member of Summer Star.

Because he could write all the lyrics and music for the team’s first album, Summer Star as a group came into being.

Xie Jixing was the second member. Zhu Qian had lurked in his livestream for a long time, and even now, he ranks second on the livestream leaderboard. It was only because Xie Jixing’s voice could perfectly express Zhu Qian’s works that Zhu Qian recommended him to Summer Star to be the lead singer.

The third member was the team leader, Xia Letian. Here, I noticed a subtle point: there was a gap period between Xia Letian joining the group and Ji entering.

Everyone knows our Young Master Xia is a rich second-generation heir, and his family is very powerful. I found out that during this gap, one of Xia’s subsidiary companies added a shareholder with the surname Ji.

I used to think my boys entered the entertainment industry purely for their dreams, but now I realize maybe half of it was for business.

Video X1: During the early days of the team, Zhu Qian and Xie Jixing often worked on the new album’s songs late into the night, while Xia Letian also filmed a vlog.

Video X2: After debut, their dancing was questioned. Zhu Qian stayed up all night practicing dance with Xie Jixing. Xie Jixing ended up sleeping on the dance floor all night, utterly exhausted, yet still had to coordinate with the perfectly made-up Xia Letian to continue filming the vlog.

Compressed Package X1: There are too many of these videos to upload individually, so I won’t include them all here. You can access them yourself if you want.

Through these vlogs, Xia Letian became the team leader who contributed the most to the group.

Maybe the vlogs served some marketing purpose, but who they were marketing to, I won’t say. Everyone who understands, understands; otherwise, it would be a lawyer’s warning.

Posting this thread has no real purpose—it’s just a way to bid farewell to the year I spent dedicating myself.

At the same time, I want to say: if it ends, let it end completely. It’s better for everyone. Don’t be like those exes who can’t let go and “haunt” whenever, pretending the relationship ended but not really!】

After reading the post, Xia Letian’s fans nearly exploded with anger.

What’s the difference between this and a public execution?!

【Xie Jixing, you can’t do this! Xia Letian treated you so well, and you’re doing this behind his back?】

“Are you all surveillance cameras?”

The chat went silent for a moment—what was going on?

“He treated me well, and you all saw that?” Xie Jixing looked sincere. “Then post it, let everyone see.”

Saying this, he even left a real-name passionate comment under the thread.

【Supplement! Group fan teacher, I don’t agree with you retiring from writing!】

Just kidding. It’s not scary to have a bunch of haters, the scary thing is when your hardcore fans turn on you.

Group Fan Teacher is logical and thorough, with rich information. Everything has reasoning and feeling. If they retire, who will dig up Summer Xing’s history so thoroughly in the future?

Xia Letian’s fans didn’t expect Xie Jixing to be so shameless.

【Xia Letian only didn’t sue you because he’s kind-hearted. Don’t take advantage of him!】

【Ungrateful white-eyed wolf!】

【Xie Jixing, you can’t be this ungrateful.】

“I wonder if your mouths will even burn when you’re cremated,” Xie Jixing sighed. “Group Fan Teacher already predicted it—a lawyer’s warning—but you really posted it!”

“And all you can say is ‘white-eyed wolf,’ ‘ungrateful.’ Can’t you come up with new words?”

“You’re not part of the same group as the previous haters, are you?”

Indeed, a few people in front of the screen shivered—they had been caught exactly.

“Previous merchandise failed maybe because the items were too limited,” Xie Jixing said, opening the livestream’s built-in shopping cart and adding a product.

Quantity: Summer’s Letian X1
Price: 0.01 yuan
Description: Purchasing this item grants one Xia Letian hardcore fan.
Flaws: Unknown severity.
Flaw description: Suspected single-celled organism, only capable of…

He was still thinking of the description when the chat went wild again.

【Report! Xingxing, go see! Zhu Qian is posting a statement!】

Zhu Qian?

This member—Xie Jixing now felt completely unfamiliar with him, with no recollection at all. He had to follow the fans’ instructions.

The livestream had just started. The pixel was low, the picture blurry. After half a year of being in hiding, Zhu Qian no longer maintained his idol image.

His semi-long hair was casually tied at the back of his head, and aside from slightly dark eye circles, his face was still handsome.

【It’s early morning here, the livestream signal is unstable, so bear with me.

Hello everyone, I’m Zhu Qian. I just received notice that my team, Summer Star, has disbanded without my consent or notification.

After I left, there seem to have been incidents of bullying within the team, and some even broke the law.

I’ve been busy recently, often returning late at night, so I haven’t been keeping track of the team’s situation or staying in contact with people back home. That’s my fault.

But I reserve the right to pursue legal action and claim my own interests.】

As he spoke, he swapped his phone for a domestic SIM card.

Green bubbles popped up with messages, even freezing the interface, but Zhu Qian ignored them.

Once the phone returned to normal, he found the pinned contact ‘A Ji’ and tried a voice call.

【The other party isn’t your friend, cannot make a voice call.】 ???

Xie Jixing had deleted him as a friend.
