HEIFEIGU -Chapter 9

Xie Jixing clicked into the person’s profile and scrolled.

There were many similar posts.

Each one preset a different way for Meng Zezhou to die.

Before, fans—and even Meng Zezhou himself—might not have noticed this person. But seeing so many curses together was deeply disturbing.

【This… this person is a psycho, right?】

【So scary!】

【Feels like he might actually hurt Meng Zezhou. Shouldn’t we call the police?】

“Call the police?” Xie Jixing lightly rubbed his left ring finger. “That would just let him off easy. He’d get lectured and released. What if he hates Meng Zezhou even more afterward?”

【Then what should we do? We can’t just let this go.】

Since he had received so many donations, he had to do his job properly. He would help Meng Zezhou deal with this—free of charge.

“Don’t worry,” Xie Jixing said.

An invisible blue flame ignited at his fingertips. He gently pressed it into his forehead.

The red mole under his eye suddenly glowed an eerie red, becoming strikingly eye-catching. He curled his lips.

“There’s another way—bounce it back.”

【So… so dominant.】

【Is it just me, or does the mole under Xingxing’s eye look more obvious?】

【Same! I’m licking the screen like crazy!】

【Wife, hit me, hehe.】

【Hey, what’s wrong with you upstairs—】

Because of that psycho, Meng Zezhou lost interest in watching Xie Jixing roast haters.

【Thanks, streamer. Let’s stop here today. We’ll continue next time.】

“Really Don’t Want to Diet” sent a Little Rocket ×1.

The boss had spoken. The workers clocked out.

Xie Jixing happily calculated his earnings. After platform fees, it was around 20,000 yuan. He would definitely handle this matter properly.

He also quickly searched for other malicious comments. He found two people who had posted edited “mourning photos” and reflected those back as well.

But the viewers didn’t really take the “reflection” seriously. The Water Sisters left more gifts.

【Followed, baby. You’re my little son now.】

【You’re my concubine. When that Meng guy isn’t here, I’ll summon you.】

【Thanks for helping today, Xingxing. We’ll come again.】

Then, following the top donor, their names whooshed off the gift list and left the livestream.

As soon as the viewer count dropped, the haters came back out.

【I thought the traitor was popular now. Turns out it’s just other fandoms doing charity.】

【Let’s go. When we leave, this room will be empty.】

【Yeah, Summer Xing’s stream is about to start. Switching accounts to watch.】

【Let the traitor stay in this shabby little room. Our Summer Star is performing for top brands in a mall. So jealous your eyes are red, right?】

After saying that, the haters also left.

But the number in the bottom-right corner didn’t drop. It kept rising.

After leaving the stream, Meng Zezhou contacted his agent, asking him to keep an eye on that abnormal ID. He also used his own monthly quota to push #XieJixingIsCrazy! into mid-tier trending.

No choice. That little unknown idol looked very pleasing, had a nice personality, and today’s stress relief was very successful.

The viewers now entering the stream were passersby who came from the trending topic for entertainment.

“Summer Star is streaming today too?” Xie Jixing searched and found the room. “He’s my former teammate after all. Let’s do a reaction and see if my eyes really turn red.”

This commercial performance was for a fragrance brand focused on natural extracts. It was their first collaboration with Summer Star.

The main products were rose and tuberose for mature young women. The booth was mysterious and sexy.

Summer Star was responsible for the closing performance. To match the booth, they changed from a noble prince style to a mysterious, sexy look.

This was Summer Xing’s first public appearance after the livestream accident and Xie Jixing’s withdrawal.

Xia Letian and Ji Jin both worked hard to restore their reputation.

They had been trying hard recently, but Ji Jin’s health had problems.

After separating at Orange TV, Xia Letian hadn’t returned to the dorm. The agent went on a trip. Ji Jin stayed alone.

After eating a healthy meal, he started having diarrhea and vomiting.

He thought it was from hotpot and went for IV treatment. He ate very carefully afterward—mostly vegetable porridge and boiled chicken breast.

With medication, he recovered.

Tonight, the mall was crowded. The AC was strong.

Ji Jin wore black mesh innerwear, a black leather vest, low-waist tight leather pants showing his waist, and a metal chain with tassels.

Since he ate little, the effect was surprisingly good.

He used light smoky eye makeup and looked like a seductive cool guy.

The official livestream was full of praise.

The lights dimmed. Stage lights shifted. Dry ice sprayed. The stage looked mysterious and beautiful.

Ji Jin and Xia Letian began dancing.

This was fully live mic. The song matched the brand—sexy and lazy.

Xia Letian even bought high-end sound equipment so every breath could be heard.

The choreography had many waves, requiring heavy waist and hip movements.

They secretly clipped a small mic to the metal chain so the tassels’ collision sounds would be picked up.

It worked.

Lazy breathing, metal sounds, electronic effects, hazy lights, sexy dancing—the executives were very satisfied.

During the interlude, the music lowered to highlight breathing, creating the feeling of someone leaning close to smell perfume.

The whole audience was silent.

Then suddenly, someone’s mic picked up a strange sound.

“Puuuu~~ Puuuu~~ Puu~ gurgle~~ whoosh~~ hiss~~~”

Long and lingering.

Detailed. Atmospheric. Perfect.

Xie Jixing: “Wow.”

The chat froze.

【Did you hear that? What… what kind of sound was that?!】

Looks like Ji Jin absorbed quite a bit of that cursed bad energy.

Xie Jixing commented calmly, “Sounds very… moist. Hope nothing inappropriate came out with it.”

【Stop, I already have imagery!】

【This stream feels like it has a smell now…】

It wasn’t just sound. Xia Letian was right behind Ji Jin, squatting in a wave move, and took it head-on.

His vision went green. His stomach churned. He felt he’d vomit any second.

He swallowed the acid rising in his throat and ran backstage covering his mouth.

But his mic kept working.

“Yueeeeh~~”

The smell spread quickly. Ji Jin smelled it too.

He took deep breaths, trying to inhale all the air—

But that was impossible.

Ji Jin couldn’t see the expressions of the people below the stage—only a blurry mass. His whole body trembled, his face deathly pale. He swayed onstage for a moment, then suddenly rolled his eyes back.

With a loud thud, he collapsed to the ground and passed out.

The brand executives in the audience didn’t know whether they were suffocated by the smell or furious about the situation, but every one of them looked terrible.

Accompanied by the background music’s “hiss-hah, hiss-hah,” the vice president stood up, pushed his way through the nauseating mix of fragrance and stench, and stormed out.

The event was completely ruined.

The manager hurriedly stopped the performance and had people carry Ji Jin away.

Below the stage was a small group of fans—mostly wealthy fans who had spent money on the products. Most were Xia Letian’s fans, though a few supported Ji Jin.

After what happened, the nearby Xia Letian fans instinctively stepped away, creating a clear “quarantine zone.”

The few well-dressed girls who had been holding Ji Jin’s banners and cheering wildly now felt utterly humiliated. It was as if the banners were emitting ominous green gas.

As the smell spread, their faces grew uglier. One of them simply threw her banner on the ground and unfollowed on the spot.

The booth area descended into chaos, with many customers demanding refunds.

After all, after what had just happened, how were they supposed to face roses and tuberose again?

On Big-Eye Social (Weibo), two new trending topics shot up instantly:

#WhatTheHellWasJiJinDoing?

#SummerStar—The Most “Flavorful” Boy Group!

Xie Jixing wandered around happily, collecting amusement everywhere.

He first checked the Summer Star account and found that his comment had indeed been pushed to the top.

Below it were nothing but insults and questioning.

【A bully still has the nerve to show up? Where’s your shame?】

【Where’s the evidence you talked about? Show it!】

Xie Jixing posted again under the hashtag #WhatTheHellWasJiJinDoing?, adding a “tea-scented” crying-cat emoji.

【Sigh… I’m not… sigh… He really… you have to believe me, I had my reasons!】

It seemed like he said nothing, yet somehow he said everything.

The livestream audience nearly laughed themselves to death.

【So ruthless! Xing’s immoral KPI must be overfulfilled today.】
