Chapter 3433: Xiao Churan Notices Something
Tawana went on a wild tirade, and the British gentleman almost spat blood.
But Tawana was also quick to cut the knot—she sent the voice message, then immediately blocked him, and still not satisfied, she ran to Instagram and other social apps to unfollow him.
Which celebrities follow or unfollow whom has itself become a key barometer that fans closely watch.
There's a bunch of people with nothing better to do, staring every day at celebrities' follower counts and lists, and any gain or loss is immediately dug up, then they discuss it wildly online with other fans.
Tawana suddenly unfollowed the British gentleman, and once discovered, it instantly exploded in the fan group.
The two had collaborated frequently before and interacted often, always presenting themselves as friends to the world.
Tawana suddenly unfollowing him felt, to mainland fans, a bit like if Wang Fei suddenly unfollowed Chen Yixun.
At first, fans were utterly puzzled, thinking Tawana might have just slipped and unfollowed him by accident.
But soon everyone realized something was off.
Accidentally unfollowing someone on Instagram or Facebook is understandable, but you wouldn't accidentally unfollow the same person on both Instagram and Facebook at the same time.
If it were a coincidence, damn, how hard would you have to slip to pull that off?
Obviously it was deliberate!
So everyone started guessing why Tawana unfollowed the British gentleman.
Did they have a fight?
Or was it a dispute over interests?
At first, no one could figure it out.
Until one sharp-eyed netizen suddenly said online: "When Tawana was just live-streaming in Huaxia, she criticized Britain—could it be that they fell out over this?"
Everyone instantly had an epiphany.
It must be exactly that.
Moreover, it was Tawana who unfollowed the British gentleman, not the other way around, which means even if they had a falling out, it was likely Tawana who initiated it.
The internet erupted in an uproar.
Some right-leaning Western netizens couldn't understand: What kind of love potion has Tawana been given, turning her into Huaxia's big foreign propagandist? Sis, you're an American—why are you doing propaganda for Earth's other side's competitor, sucking up to your own country's allies? What are you thinking?
Left-leaning netizens, meanwhile, were understanding: What nationality? We're all a community of shared human destiny—we should let go of prejudice and just do good, right? Even stepping back, if your son stole something outside and brought it home, as his father, shouldn't you discipline him?
Tawana couldn't care less about these people—anyway, she's determined to go all the way in pleasing Ye Chen, eyes closed, Buddha block and kill Buddha, god block and kill god.
……
After a day of earth-shaking online frenzy, Tawana successively blocked quite a few acquaintances from Britain's entertainment circle, then gracefully began her third Yan Jing concert.
Ye Chen wanted to run but didn't, and Gu Qiuyi insisted on dragging him to see things through to the end.
No choice—he could only grit his teeth and get through all four performances.
In the first three shows, each performance topped many hot searches, and each hot search was different.
But there was one hot search that appeared all three times.
"Who exactly is the mysterious male dancer kissed by Tawana?"
Netizens worldwide were extremely curious.
Some even said, if they put this man's photo online, a hundred bucks per look, they'd be willing to pay.
Then on the fourth day, he launched a vote on the overseas network, titled: "If you were to spend a hundred bucks to see the true face photo of the mysterious male dancer, would you?"
One day, over five million people voted, and over three million said yes.
The media exploded again.
These fans are also toxic.
Would you really spend a hundred bucks to see the lineup of a masked man?
Is your money blown in by the wind?
With that money, couldn't you do something else?
Go to the supermarket, buy some beef, lamb, eggs, milk—wouldn't that be nice too!
Go out shopping without spending money, risk it for zero-yuan purchases, then go online and willingly spend a hundred bucks to look at a man's face—purely fucking sick, isn't it?
Three million people, a hundred bucks each—that's three hundred million bucks!
Tawana sang three shows, but she couldn't even earn three hundred million bucks!
But this time, Huaxia netizens have stood up.
They immediately declared: What's the big deal?
In our domestic entertainment, we wish we'd started paying to unlock celebrity photos on Weibo eight hundred years ago, wouldn't we?
Of course, our domestic celebrities dare not price photos that high—usually it's just 28, 38, or 58 RMB.
……
By the fourth day, Xiao Churan was also extremely curious about this mysterious man.
She looked at her phone for three days straight, no matter how she looked, she kept feeling this person was Ye Chen.
But every time she thought that, a voice inside her would come up with excuses to convince herself it had nothing to do with Ye Chen.
It wasn't until the fourth day, when she watched via a live phone stream from a concertgoer and saw that mysterious male dancer take the stage alongside Tawana and Gu Qiuyi, that she suddenly had a brainwave.
Then she called Ye Chen on her phone.
She thought to herself: "Isn't Ye Chen the feng shui supervisor?"
"Once the performance really starts, shouldn't he not be that busy?"
"If he answers right away, that proves he's definitely not the mysterious male dancer; if he doesn't answer, although it can't prove he definitely is, it does make him seem more suspicious by a bit!"
Without a doubt, Ye Chen simply couldn't answer the phone.
To avoid leaking any flaw during the performance, he didn't even bring his phone on stage.
Besides, with this full set of armor he's wearing, there's nowhere to put a phone.
Even if he brought it, he couldn't answer the phone on stage.
But he never expected Xiao Churan to call him at this time.
Hearing the constant beeping from the phone, Xiao Churan suddenly felt inexplicably nervous.
She couldn't help muttering: "Could this mysterious male dancer really be Ye Chen? But... why? Although he's a feng shui master, there's no need for two top female stars to be so enthusiastic and proactive toward him, right?"
Ye Chen had no idea such a mishap could occur.
He had already grown tired of staying in Yanjing.
When not performing, a group of people pressured him to have children.
When busy performing, an American crazy woman kept clinging to him and kissing him.
It was truly unbearable no matter what.
So, he had already agreed with Gu Qiuyi that after these four performances, he would directly go to the airport and fly back to Jin Ling.
Although he still had to continue acting in Hu Cheng afterward, there would be no more backup dancing after that.
Moreover, the later performances wouldn't start for a few days, so he had no need to stay here during these days.
After finally hearing the song end, Tawana came forward again and hugged him, kissing him.
Fortunately, from the second performance onward, she had restrained herself considerably, not being as exaggerated as in the first.
After the kiss, Ye Chen and Gu Qiuyi exited the stage.
The two quickly came to the makeup room, Ye Chen changing clothes while saying: "I really can't stay any longer—I'll go straight to the airport. Nannan, remember to greet my uncle and aunt for me when you go back; I won't return to say goodbye to them."
Gu Qiuyi asked in surprise: "Ye Chen brother, even if you're in a hurry to go back, you don't have to leave now? It's already past nine."
Ye Chen said: "I must leave."
Gu Qiuyi deliberately muttered: "Are you missing Miss Xiao?"
Ye Chen said solemnly: "What Miss Xiao? She's your sister-in-law."
"Not at all." Gu Qiuyi snorted, then said seriously: "She's a third party who interfered, but I just don't bother with her."
"Fine, fine, fine." Ye Chen knew that on this matter, he and Gu Qiuyi could never argue, because he had absolutely no advantage.
As for who came first, Gu Qiuyi would say she had known him since childhood, so she definitely came before Xiao Churan.
As for legal marital status, Gu Qiuyi would say parental decree outweighs everything, and in the face of parental orders and matchmaker's words, what is a marital relationship?
Anyway, this girl always has her own reasoning.
The key is Ye Chen also knows he's in the wrong, so he doesn't want to argue with her either.
So he could only surrender, saying: "You say she's Miss Xiao, then she's Miss Xiao. I've been away from home for several days—I should go back."
Gu Qiuyi didn't make things difficult for him, saying: "Then I'll send you to the airport."
Ye Chen said: "I'll send you home first, then drive myself to the airport, leave the car there, and Chen Zekai will arrange someone to drive it away."
Gu Qiuyi said: "Then I'll send you to the airport, and after seeing you off, I'll drive back myself!"
Ye Chen felt helpless; it was already past nine, and the latest normal flight back to Jin Ling tonight was at eleven. If he rushed to the airport, he could still catch this flight, but if he missed the check-in time, he'd have to let the Ye family arrange a private plane.
Private planes are certainly convenient, but if the landing time doesn't match the flight information, it's easy to expose a flaw.
Xiao Churan only needs to casually check, and she'll know no plane landed at that time, and the high-speed rail also stopped—so how did Ye Chen come back?
To avoid trouble, Ye Chen told Gu Qiuyi: "Alright, let's both go to the airport, but I'll have Old Chen arrange a helicopter to pick you up at the airport—you can't drive back yourself, I'm not at ease."
"No matter." Gu Qiuyi said with a smile: "As long as I can send you to the airport, that's fine!"
At this moment, Xiao Churan, far away in Jin Ling, saw in the live broadcast video that the mysterious male dancer had already left the stage.
So, she deliberately waited a few minutes, then called Ye Chen again.
Ye Chen's phone was on the table in the makeup room.
At this moment, the phone suddenly rang, and the incoming call interface directly overwrote the missed call notification.
He didn't even know that Xiao Churan had called him during his performance earlier.
So he made a silencing gesture to Gu Qiuyi, shushed, then picked up the phone and answered with a smile: "Churan."
Xiao Churan's heart sank, and she immediately felt a bit flustered.
She asked Ye Chen: "Husband, what are you... doing?"
Ye Chen said: "I'm just getting ready to go to the airport."
"To the airport?" Xiao Churan was a little surprised: "Why go to the airport now? Isn't the performance not over yet?"
Ye Chen said: "My work is done, and tonight there happens to be a flight back to Jin Ling, so I plan to leave now to catch this flight and return."
Xiao Churan's heart felt even more uneasy.
"What on earth is going on?"
"Is Ye Chen really that mysterious male dancer?"
"Why didn't he answer the phone when the male dancer went on stage?"
"The male dancer finished his performance, and just a few minutes later, when he was called again, he answered?"
"And moreover, the male dancer just finished his performance and wants to return to Jin Ling—this... this timing is just too perfect, isn't it?"
"Could it be... could it be that the mysterious male dancer who was ambiguous with Tawana for four days straight is actually him?!"
