Chapter 24: This Is My Cat. Not Only Is He Very Well Behaved, but He’s Also Very Close to Me.
The internet was full of rumors about Fu Sichen moving to Pei Zhen’s agency.
The news reports kept people eager for more. Some people said that Fu Sichen didn’t get along with his agency anymore; other people speculated that Pei Zhen’s accident had been a conspiracy.
“It’s all about resources!”
“Fu Sichen is out to kill Pei Zhen!”
“What’s the real story behind Pei Zhen’s accident?”
People quickly fell into a herd mentality. Diehard fans obviously defended their fellow fans. In the midst of all of this nonsense, there were even evil fans that championed messages like “Our Best Actor Fu is much more outstanding than Pei Zhen.” They wanted to praise their idol by insulting their rival’s competitor. This inevitably lead to retaliation by the other person’s fanbase, which would end up starting another fight.
Pei Zhen had less followers than Fu Sichen. However, it didn’t take away from the fact that they had strong fighting power! Looking through the comments under Fu Sichen’s Weibo, it was clear that the two sides were at war. It was utter chaos.
“I was only there to pick up my cat.” Fu Sichen coldly reassured Wang Youquan, who had been visibly affected. “Just release a statement to clarify what really took place.”
Wang Youquan finally stopped worrying about it. However, he thought of something before whispering a soft reminder, “Sichen, you haven’t been ‘live’ in a month and eight days.”
The principal of the live broadcast station had been putting pressure on them recently, and Wang Youquan had to bear the brunt of it all.
“Why don’t you use this opportunity to do a live broadcast?” Wang Youquan coaxed, “Not only can you clarify the whole situation, but you can also teach those reporters a lesson!”
Fu Sichen glanced at the cat in his arms and thought for a moment. He finally agreed.
With the development of technology, live broadcasting and streaming had become the trend.
Fu Sichen had never really been interested in this.
The only reason he went online in the first place was to watch Pei Zhen.
Pei Zhen had been spotted by a talent scout after being a live broadcaster for games. Fu Sichen had been lazy when he was watching Pei Zhen’s live broadcast; he had carelessly registered his Weibo username, so he was quickly discovered by his fans.
After looking up his Weibo, the broadcast station had come looking for Fu Sichen. Pei Zhen had ended up losing his sponsorship because of this incident.
The whole matter was plagued by a series of unfortunate coincidences.
Thinking of it now, Fu Sichen still found it to be amusing.
“Sichen… What about the live broadcast?”
Fu Sichen forcefully hugged the protesting cat before walking to his room.
Fu Sichen didn’t need to do much before the live broadcast. He didn’t need any special lighting, or even any special makeup. All he needed to do was sit there and be his usual good-looking self.
Eight at night was known as the golden time. It didn’t take long for the site to become flooded with netizens after Fu Sichen had gone live.
“You’re finally back! My dear, you finally remembered the password for your account!”
“Woo-hoo, my sweetheart! You’re so gorgeous and dashing!”
“Great Actor Fu Sichen, kiss kiss hug hug, I want to have your kids!”
“Idol, idol, are you really moving to another agency?”
The screen was inundated with a barrage of questions as well as showers of gifts from his frantic fans. Fu Sichen greeted his audience before picking a few questions to answer.
“I’m not changing agencies— that was just a rumor. I just so happened to be looking for my cat at that time. That’s right… I’m now the proud owner of a cat.”
There was another barrage of requests that appeared, asking to see the cat. Fu Sichen stretched out his hands and raised the Persian cat up so everyone could see him. “This is my cat. Not only is he very well behaved, but he’s also very close to me.”
Pei Zhen was livid. He didn’t want to be carried, by his enemy of all people, in front of scores and scores of fans.
Unable to find an opportunity to scratch Fu Sichen, Pei Zhen put on a cold expression— he glared hostilely at Fu Sichen. The audience was stunned.
However, this was only the internet. Any fear that the netizens had felt soon disappeared before turning into excitement over this new entertainment.
Well behaved? Close to him? That Persian cat looked like he really wanted to hit someone right now.
“Hahaha… Has Best Actor Fu somehow misunderstood what the term ‘well behaved’ means?”
“The cat is angry at being carried like a chick with a mother hen looooool.”
“Best Actor, Best Actor, what’s the cat’s name?”
Without any hesitation, Fu Sichen said, “… Pei Pei.”
