Chapter 215: From Hater to Fan
Rong Yu's remarks not only attracted a large number of onlookers but also drew in many haters who had been waiting for concrete evidence of his scandals. Now that Rong Yu had "handed it over himself," they were only too happy to accept, directly engaging in mutual reposts and arguments with him on Weibo.
This argument lasted the entire night.
Originally, his fans came to help, only to discover that Rong Yu had actually opened a separate Weibo thread to argue with the haters and specifically instructed his fans not to enter the comment section.
"My idol is arguing with haters but excluded us..."
That night, Rong Yu's fans felt deeply distressed.
That night, Rong Yu truly stayed up all night, arguing with haters until dawn.
As the first rays of morning sunlight illuminated the city sky, Rong Yu finally brought an end to his night-long battle.
Rong Yu iycjV: Daybreak. My angel is about to awaken. You all carry on~
Soon, the Super Star Fan Club app notified fans that Rong Yu had gone offline.
Yes, instantly offline—right after his final closing statement!
At that moment, the haters who had basically been instantly replied to by Rong Yu all night suddenly felt a sense of being… abandoned…
And just then, some well-behaved Yuxiang Rousi fans, who had been quietly spectating all night, poured cold water on the haters' already chilled hearts.
Big Fish Eats Little Fish V: So, have you all noticed that Little Fish fed you dog food all night long? Even at the very last moment before going offline...
ry You Win V: Hah, clearly just CP hype, made to sound so real. If there was really someone by his side, could he have stayed up like that all night?
Big Fish Eats Little Fish V: The username above... did you buy membership just to change your name? Also, I wonder if you've noticed, but your tone in that sentence is exactly the same as the brainwashing rhetoric Little Fish fed you all night...
ry You Win V: ...Carry on.
After a night of intense battle, Rong Yu himself was exhausted. He tossed his phone aside and fell straight asleep. When he woke again, it was to the aroma of food.
"Did you stay up late last night?" Yin Chengjue woke up in the morning to find his phone dead. After charging it and turning it on, he saw a flood of messages, all from Sally.
Opening one, Yin Chengjue found that Sally was urging him to stop Rong Yu.
Baffled, Yin Chengjue looked at Rong Yu sleeping peacefully beside him, unable to understand what this serene and lovely Rong Yu could have possibly done wrong that needed stopping.
Until Yin Chengjue opened Weibo.
# RongYuSingle-handedlyBattlesHaters#
#RongYuNightBattlewithHaters#
#RongYuLovestruck#
Because Rong Yu's night-long battle with haters repeatedly mentioned him "lovestruck," the hashtag #RongYuLovestruck# remained highly popular, fluctuating on the trending list all night.
As for how impressive Rong Yu's performance was last night, one only needed to click on the related hashtags and browse the classic quotes compiled by bloggers.
Eat a Melon V: The start of this verbal battle was mainly because haters mocked Rong Yu, saying his "lovestruck behavior" towards Yin Chengjue was scripted. Rong Yu then reposted that skeptical hater's Weibo, sarcastically questioning the whole idea of a script, and ultimately insinuated that the haters couldn't understand this "lovestruck" behavior—which falls within the range of normal human emotions—because they themselves lacked love. He expressed deep sympathy for the haters' plight.
In short, all night, without a single curse word, Rong Yu delivered a full set of insinuating services to the haters.
This so-called "insinuation" means you could feel Rong Yu was insulting you, but you couldn't pick out a single actual curse word from his lines.
That night, everyone truly witnessed Rong Yu's exceptional skill with words.
But, skillful words aside, if it were discovered that Rong Yu's statements last night weren't for CP promotion but because he was genuinely sharing a bed with Yin Chengjue, his career would surely suffer a heavy blow.
Hence, Sally's text and WeChat messages had been flooding in frantically. She had probably called too, but Yin Chengjue's phone was dead and powered off.
"Don't worry, I'll handle this matter." Yin Chengjue told Sally to stay calm and not rush to clarify things for Rong Yu at this moment, as it would only raise more suspicion.
Sally said angrily, "You two are really something!"
After hanging up, Yin Chengjue went to the kitchen to prepare lunch, planning to ask Rong Yu properly after he woke up.
The aroma of food proved to be the best wake-up call. Rong Yu woke up.
"Brother~ You're not angry with me, are you?" Rong Yu hugged the blanket, looking innocent. "I just couldn't stand those people saying I was acting according to a script. I wasn't acting at all. I genuinely think brother is just too good-looking. I'm completely mesmerized."
Yin Chengjue raised an eyebrow slightly. "When did I say I was angry with you?"
Rong Yu: "Then why did you ask me why I stayed up late?"
Yin Chengjue laughed. "Staying up late is bad for your health. If you want to argue with haters, can't you do it at any other time? Why stay up all night?"
"But... when it comes to arguing, who cares ab out the time..." Rong Yu frowned.
Yin Chengjue: "Then next time there's a situation like this, remember to wake me up."
Rong Yu was taken aback. "Huh? Why? I can handle it alone. I tried it myself last night—their fighting ability is so weak, they can't argue properly at all. They just curse illogically; there's no substance to it."
Yin Chengjue leaned down slightly, gently pinching Rong Yu's ear. "Wake me up so I can make you a midnight snack, and also... I can have a midnight snack too."
Rong Yu's ear tingled from the deep voice. It took him a moment to understand Yin Chengjue's meaning, and he instantly blushed from his neck to his ears.
"Brother... I just woke up... You're really... going to be the death of me..." Rong Yu lifted his gaze, his deep black eyes intently fixed on Yin Chengjue's. Then, as if unable to help himself, he raised his hand, his thumb gently stroking Yin Chengjue's lips a few times.
Yin Chengjue's eyes darkened. He parted his lips slightly and lightly nipped Rong Yu's thumb.
Rong Yu immediately leaned in closer, his free hand reaching around Yin Chengjue's back.
Yin Chengjue looked down at the person before him, gazing with an infatuated expression, his beautiful dark eyes filled entirely with Yin Chengjue's reflection.
As they pressed close together, their hearts pounded like war drums, perfectly synchronized.
"Xiao Yu..." Yin Chengjue felt Rong Yu's hand, which had slipped under his clothes, roaming over his back. He couldn't help but tease, "I've noticed you seem to really like touching me here. Every time... it's always here. Does touching here make you happy?"
Hearing this, Rong Yu's expression stiffened momentarily, but he quickly put on a shy smile, replying coyly, "Touching anywhere makes me happy, as long as it's brother."
"Oh? Really?"
"Brother can check for himself."
"You said it yourself."
Two hours later.
The two sat at the dining table.
Yin Chengjue rubbed his temples, looking conflicted. "I feel like I forgot something."
Rong Yu bit his spoon, blinking playfully. "Brother forgot to give me a bath~"
Yin Chengjue: "...Didn't we just take one?"
Rong Yu looked innocent. "Nope~ If I say we didn't, then we didn't~"
On the fourth floor of Huansheng Entertainment, Sally sat before her office computer, watching the persistently high popularity of the hashtags, her frown deepening.
He said he would handle it, but a whole morning's gone by. All I see are the same stubborn hashtags and more onlookers piling in—not a single sign of any actual handling.
Is this what he meant by handling? Just cold-shouldering it until the buzz fades on its own?
S ally was so angry she wanted to flip the table on the spot!
However, right then, a new comment appeared under the hashtag #RongYuNightBattlewithHaters#.
Normally, when something is trending highly, any comment popping up isn't strange, as fans try to lower the heat and clean up the discussion, while haters deliberately stir things up to keep the topic visible.
Sally didn't pay attention to this new comment at first, until she saw the ID of the commenter.
ry You Win V: Rong Dog, regarding your angel and demon theory last night, I spent the whole morning thinking about it. I've decided, instead of bothering to look for another angel, I'll just make do with you. Hah. [Image]
Clicking on the image revealed something shocking.
It read:
Fan Verification Badge.
I just claimed the RongYu Fan Verification Badge No. 2389999. Claim your fan verification badge now—official certification you deserve to have! ???!!
Clicking into this ID's Weibo, one could also see another post below this one, automatically reposted after claiming the fan verification badge...
Onlookers: "..."
Was he literally argued into becoming a fan by Rong Yu? [waves goodbye]
Soon, this ry You Win V's Weibo was swarmed by a group of haters attacking him.
They were convinced the whole "hater-to-fan" switch was staged—just another script run by Rong Yu's fanbase.
In response, ry You Win V dismissed this with contempt and argued back one by one.
ry You Win V: At least I was a genuine hater of Rong Yu for over half a year. How does turning into a fan overnight become a script? Fabricating scripts out of thin air?
Big Fish Eats Little Fish V: ...Um, wasn't it you who said last night that Little Fish's lovestruck behavior was scripted? Fabricating scripts out of thin air?
ry You Win V: ...
Let's not bring up last night anymore, thanks!
Even more shocking, following this ry You Win V, other haters who had fiercely argued with Rong Yu all night last night also claimed their fan verification badges.
ry Don't Reply to Me V: Fine then, because of your tough attitude, I'm going to clash with you to the end. I'm going to be your fan and see when you hit rock bottom.
You Are Really a Dog V replied to @ry Don't Reply to Me V: Honestly speaking, judging by Rong Dog's current development trend, he won't flop that quickly. Also, I heard Rong Dog recently joined a crew for "The Wandering Swordsman." When will the official release the character stills? The pace is way too slow!
