CHAPTER 73: LOVE IS TRULY TERRIFYING

The official account for Chi Yu’s global fan club has more than four million followers, with strong influence and publicity power comparable to that of a major marketing account.

The support accounts have three popular bloggers, each with followers ranging from 500,000 to one million.

The info stations and resource accounts are well-managed; an appreciation post was recently released, which exaggeratedly claims his popularity has never dipped for a moment.

With such high popularity and an ever-increasing number of fans, Chi Yu’s commercial value in the entertainment industry is immeasurable.

A hashtag about Chi Yu’s car accident slowly started to gain traction.

The online community was fervently discussing it.

—And at this time, a new trending hashtag suddenly emerged.

#LoveAtFirstSightWithPopularStarandLittleFlower#

The rise in popularity of this topic is largely due to its title.

This is clearly clickbait.

Netizens were naturally curious; there are many popular stars and little flowers, but mainly, those last four words: Love at first sight??

Stirring up trouble, aren’t we!

So, netizens anxiously clicked to find out more.

An unknown blogger posted a Weibo, adding the trending topic: [#ChiYuSuspectedCarAccident##MingFenghuaFirstPromo#. Chi Yu standing beneath a tree, gazing deeply at a girl, her profile was dug up. It turns out she’s a newcomer under Juhua Media named Li Yan, a handsome man and beautiful woman, well-matched indeed. Fast delivery.vlog.]

Netizens were shocked upon seeing it and flocked to eat melon.

The video was edited.

The first part played the video the official account released two days ago, followed by a voiceover, superimposing Li Yan’s face on the woman under the tree and wildly comparing and matching.

The last line of the video said: If this isn’t Li Yan? I’ll not only stand on my head and glide, I’ll livestream eating a keyboard.

Eat melon as it comes.

Netizen: [I remember Chi Yu said not long ago that he wouldn’t be dating in the coming years. Tsk, feels like a slap in the face.]

Netizen: [So Chi Yu likes this type, huh? Even a top star can’t escape vulgarity. A pointy chin, big eyes, and a tall, perky nose—how can that compare with those leading actresses? No idea what Chi Yu is thinking.]

Netizen: [This girl’s face just screams schemer, Chi Yu, don’t let your desires cloud your judgment.]

Netizens are commenting from a bystander’s perspective, the malice isn’t that intense. Whereas Chi Yu’s fans, upon seeing this kind of leeching actress, were particularly rational.

They immediately took control of the comments, ready to retaliate if the other party dared to post again.

FishFan: [Spent a lot on planted articles, huh? Got no clue what you look like? Trying to ride this coattail, you’ll learn a lesson!]

FishFan: [Won’t comment on your looks, but you should have some self-awareness. Even if you got ten more surgeries, it’s impossible, what garbage.]

FishFan: [Turns out you also participated in "Desired Ecology" as a guest, suddenly not surprising anymore. But it’s best to calm down, moderation is key; riding Chi Yu’s wave is one thing, but don’t expect leniency next time.]

The more famous, the more gossip, an eternal truth.

A male artist like Chi Yu, at his status, definitely has a lot of scandals, but to this day, none have been significant. The company’s PR team has almost never had to intervene for him, as fans themselves handle any rumors or the like.

It’s safe to say he’s a worry-free case.

But at this moment, Chi Yu lying in the hospital isn’t so carefree.

Originally obediently lying on the hospital bed, inhaling the disinfectant scent, staring blankly at the white ceiling. He was so focused that he didn’t even notice Yi Shu entering the room.

Yi Shu walked silently up to the bed, studied Chi Yu for a moment, and concluded, "Love really is terrifying."

Even if he’s injured like this, he’d probably jump right up at the mention of President Gu’s name.
