The three left the club, unaware that the backstage employee had posted the video he recorded on a famous foreign forum website.
Normally, the club didn’t allow recording customer videos without their consent, let alone uploading them online without their permission.
The employee was just too excited and lost his composure. By the time he calmed down and regretted it, it was too late to delete the video, as many netizens had already discovered and downloaded it.
Even if the employee deleted his post, those who had already downloaded it could simply repost it.
“Anyway, they didn’t get their faces clearly, just their backs, so it shouldn’t be a problem!” the employee reassured himself.
In fact, initially there were no problems, but as more and more people saw it, the power of netizens became terrifying. They had an unwavering persistence when it came to things they were interested in, eventually uncovering the two individuals’ identities and sparking countless speculations— but these were things for later, and currently, and in the short term, were beyond the knowledge of Si Huang and the employee.
….
Simon personally escorted Si Huang and the others to the airport, only leaving after they entered the waiting area.
While the scan was being conducted, Yu Xi and his sister were a little nervous because the Soul01 that Simon had given Si Huang was in her suitcase.
Just as Simon had predicted, the airport’s security system detected nothing unusual. After checking their passports and other documents, they were allowed to proceed.
The two siblings exchanged a glance, both realizing they had seemingly come into contact with something extraordinary.
In the waiting area, Si Huang, with earphones in, opened her laptop and waited for her flight.
There weren’t many people at this gate, but as time passed, an unexpected change occurred: more and more people started walking towards them.
Yu Xi initially thought it was just foreigners going to Z country, but then she heard some of their conversations and realized these people were there for them, or more precisely, for Si Huang.
“It really is him! Look, look! It’s this Asian boy!”
“Ace actually found an Asian boy as a boyfriend, how strange! But he’s really handsome, he’ll definitely be even more charming when he grows up!”
“The man next to him is so manly, I like him.”
“Are you kidding me? He’s not Ace’s boyfriend, he’s Ace’s partner in his new photobook, a celebrity from China!”
At first, everyone was a bit reserved, but perhaps as more ‘companions’ appeared, they became bolder, taking out their phones to take pictures of Si Huang.
Yu Xi initially let them take a few pictures, hoping to increase Si Huang’s fame abroad. Feeling that was enough, he stood up, using his body to block Si Huang, and persuaded everyone in English not to continue, as it would affect them.
Most people politely put away their phones; they had already taken the photos they wanted. Some people even left— their flight wasn’t to China, and they couldn’t afford to miss their flight because of an Asian celebrity!
Perhaps because this flight was to China, there were still quite a few Chinese people in the waiting area.
Yu Xi keenly noticed a girl casting an excited glance at him. Upon meeting his gaze, she immediately looked down and continued operating her laptop on her lap. Unbeknownst to Yu Xi, the girl’s computer screen displayed a chat room titled “His Majesty’s Imperial Guards.”
A Touch of Spring: Ahh….
Finally, it was the administrator, Lingzhi in the Rain, who issued a powerful mute, calming everyone down temporarily. After the mute was lifted, the girl from the airport, Yimo Chunse, continued to provoke her colleagues in the chat room.
“Should I reveal my identity?”
A group of envious and jealous colleagues immediately objected.
“Reveal what? We are His Majesty’s Imperial Guards, protecting His Majesty in the shadows!” You can’t sneak around interacting with His Majesty alone, you bast**d!
“That’s right! Have you forgotten the duties of the Imperial Guards? We are responsible for shielding His Majesty from any storms outside, just so that His Majesty can continue to be as beautiful as a flower in the entertainment industry!” Stay put and don’t move, you bast**d!
“Stop talking nonsense, don’t tell me you didn’t take pictures of His Majesty! Post them now, His Majesty hasn’t updated his Weibo for a week, not even a single picture to admire. I’ve practically worn out all the old pictures, I’m so thirsty, don’t stop me!” Post His Majesty to satisfy me, you bastard!
The airport girls didn’t disappoint, sending ten photos in a row, making their colleagues in the chat room squeal with happiness, followed by another barrage of drooling comments.
Lingzhi in the Rain: Everyone, restrain yourselves, we need to get down to business!
At the chief’s command, the thirsty Imperial Guards all returned to their positions. Of course, the photos, their spiritual nourishment, had to be downloaded and saved in high-resolution original format first.
Lingzhi in the Rain: You know what’s been happening lately, right? That dog, Real Entertainment, is jumping around again, biting anyone he sees! Spring Color, since you saw His Majesty at the airport, did you find any compelling evidence?
A Touch of Spring Color: Hahahaha! You’ve come to the right person. That dog, Real Entertainment, is just waiting to grind his teeth to pieces and get slapped in the face by His Majesty! {Screenshot} {Screenshot} {Screenshot} This is a newly uploaded piece of entertainment gossip from the US, posted just ten minutes ago. See it? Ace Mephisto, this girl is one of the pillars of American Entertainment, she’s incredibly popular in the US! His Majesty came to the US to collaborate with her, and Fenghuang Entertainment didn’t release a single word about it, they’re so low-key! But that’s what will bring out that dog, Real Entertainment, again, just wait and see!
As soon as this news came out, there was another wave of cheers, and many radical peers had already said they’ll release the news and crush Real Entertainment, let’s see if they still dare to slander His Majesty.
Lingzhi in the Rain, also known as Huo Yuzhi, calmed them down again. “Don’t rush. If Chunse can find these, Fenghuang Entertainment can’t possibly not. Have you forgotten Fenghuang’s usual methods? When he strikes, he’ll definitely break his opponent’s bones and tendons! Hahaha, I already have a feeling we’ll soon see the True Entertainment dogs slaughtered without a trace. Alright! Embroidered Uniform Guards, prepare! What we need to do is wait for Fenghuang Entertainment to make its move, and then fan the flames, making this fire burn even brighter!”
“Ohhhhhhhh—!” A group of Embroidered Uniform Guards, young and old, were all excited. Fighting for His Majesty was exciting just thinking about it!
The girl at the airport was also excited, her cheeks flushed, and she kept glancing up at Si Huang.
Yu Xi thought this girl must be a fan of Si Huang. It’s admirable that she could restrain herself from disturbing him despite being so excited. But what exactly does that fearless, patriotic expression mean?
“Yu Xi.”
“Hmm?”
Si Huang looked at her absent-minded manager and pointed to the page on the laptop. “You did this?”
Yu Xi looked down and saw that the page displayed the latest news released by Fenghuang Entertainment. The news had only been posted for less than a minute.
The homepage featured a high-definition picture of Si Huang and Ace standing together. Their high looks instantly attracted countless eyes and below was a description from the editor.
“Yeah, the other day, Real Entertainment came out again to attack you.” Yu Xi said, “I’ve already talked to James. When we release news, their team will also do some publicity.”
After a two-second pause, Yu Xi tentatively said, “I don’t think it’s necessary to trouble you with this small matter. I was planning to tell you after we arrived in Z country.”
Just then, their flight arrived, and the announcement for them to check in and board the plane came on.
Si Huang closed her laptop and smiled at Yu Xi, “You’re right. From now on, these things will all be yours. If you’re okay with it, you don’t need to tell me anymore. Just do it yourself.”
Yu Xi couldn’t help but smile with delight. Suddenly, a sentence Si Huang had said yesterday flashed through his mind—”This is not only my era, but also yours.”
Even now, thinking about it, it’s still a little exciting!
The group boarded the plane together.
A flight of over ten hours.
While they were resting or reading magazines on the plane, the entertainment industry in China was already in chaos because of them.
A photo of Si Huang waiting at Los Angeles airport somehow leaked out and quickly spread to the Chinese internet. Everyone immediately understood that she was returning home!
Then, not only fans, but also a large group of reporters prepared to flock to Beijing airport, waiting for Si Huang’s flight to arrive.
This kind of spectacle was something only A-list celebrities could experience, unsurprisingly adding another boost to Si Huang’s popularity.
Including the two weeks of non-stop, chaotic filming, Si Huang had essentially disappeared for over a month.
A group of her colleagues wanted to see her fall from grace, but what they got was astonishing— why is she still so the center of attention?!
