Chapter 537: 521 the troubles on the internet flare up again

Si Younian’s status was there, and his popularity and traffic had always been high.

With Wenwen’s guidance, the scene quickly returned to the preset main topic.

The two talked about the upcoming web series and the movie with dual male leads, exciting the fans to the point where they were howling with joy.

The atmosphere was very harmonious, and by the time the live stream ended, many people were still reluctant to leave.

But in the evening, Weibo started a topic discussion about the day’s events.

A poll titled "Is Si Younian really worth your adoration?" climbed to the top of the trending list.

The history of the blogger’s content revealed they were a marketing account, and they had simply cut together two or three segments of Si Younian’s live stream from earlier that day, mainly highlighting the clothes he wore.

Fearing that the rhythm wasn’t harsh enough, he also deliberately brought up Si Younian’s old interviews.

The first clip was of Si Younian playing a young character, wearing a white hoodie identical to the one he wore today, his refreshing glance back and warm smile were the ’Moonlight’ of countless people.

The second clip was from an interview he had after his major breakout with that role.

Si Younian, having changed into a completely different style of clothes, was asked by reporters why he no longer wore that hoodie. He replied indifferently, "This set of clothes has a very special meaning for me, besides... I want to explore different sides of myself, not always relying on one character for benefits."

The third clip was from an interview with the CEO and Si Younian after he endorsed Feiyang hoodies.

At that point, Si Younian was already very popular, but he continued his five-year contract with Feiyang hoodies, which attracted many general netizens to become his fans. They thought Si Younian was loyal and a good man who sticks to his guns.

When asked why Feiyang hoodies no longer prepared that white outfit for Si Younian?

Si Younian just smiled.

The CEO took the microphone: "Younian said, this outfit has a very special meaning~~ Besides, our Feiyang hoodies’ styles and designs are not limited to just this one, Younian looks good in anything~"

Three clips paired with his image from today’s live stream wearing a white hoodie...

It really was a bit of a slap in the face.

The marketing account said: "Tsk tsk, I didn’t know that Si Younian’s special significance was joining Xingyue? Soaring Sky had supported him for so many years, saying he didn’t want to always rely on the Moonlight persona for benefits, but today, as soon as he joined Xingyue, he put on the hoodie!"

The comments below were all from haters.

"The blogger is BIG and bold! Dare to speak about Si Younian? Don’t you know he’s got a powerful backing after joining Xingyue now?"

"Hahaha wait for Big Boss Yue to send a lawyer’s letter soon, accusing you of spreading rumors and slander!"

"What rumor is the blogger spreading? He’s absolutely right, fans of certain big bosses please don’t get involved, okay?"

"Emmm, today in Big Cat’s live stream, I just made a comment that Si Younian was no good, and I was immediately banned and kicked out... The fans say the live stream atmosphere was good... That’s because those with different opinions were all kicked out, so how could the atmosphere not be good?"

"Now the fans of a certain big boss are just like a cult, not tolerating a single bad word about their master. Now that their master has signed a new artist, two waves of cults have come together. Watching the live stream is like watching a joke."

"The people above, get ready for a lawyer’s letter warning hahahaha!"

Soon, a large wave of fans poured in.

"Here we go again, can the marketing accounts stop leeching off my Younian’s popularity OK?"

"You infiltrators sent by Soaring Sky, don’t be too ridiculous. Younian is free to wear whatever he wants. He felt today was a very special day, so what’s wrong with him wearing that hoodie?"

"Fans are really double-dealing, right?! If Si Younian wore this hoodie regularly, we wouldn’t have anything to say. But he plays this deep, emotional persona for years, then fearing netizens would criticize him after changing companies, he immediately puts on the hoodie to curry favor! Even I, a bystander, can see through this. You guys going on with your ’brother, brother’ act, isn’t it disgusting?"

"Hater pretending to be a bystander, huh? Besides, he just changed companies, don’t act like he betrayed Soaring Sky! If you’ve been at a company for a long time and want to switch, no one’s calling you disloyal or unfaithful, right? Why is it when Younian changes companies, it hits a nerve for you?"

"Maybe they’re upset because they haven’t stayed at one company slaving away for a lifetime, so they get explosive when they see others doing so."

Originally, the strife on the internet repeats day after day, without any sign of stopping.

Marketing accounts lead the narrative with bias, and anyone could see it.

Yet some confused passersby, brainwashed by the ongoing narrative, even start to wonder why, unlike other artists who just focus on acting and their art, Si Younian keeps popping up on hot searches every other day?

If bombarded enough, even casual passersby would grow annoyed.

The result of fan wars is seldom good.

Everybody knew that unless Si Younian stepped forward to reveal that special significance, to explain why he chose to wear that outfit today, the situation would only get worse.

Soon, the fire spread from Weibo to fan groups.

Some of the less resolute brought up the issue in the fan group.

Perhaps due to emotional agitation, their words came across as rather impolite.

But, Si Younian’s top fans were very cultured.

Especially his Sister Zhan, who came out and spoke a few pressing sentences in the raging fan group.

"How long have we liked Si Younian? Not just a day or two, but three, four years! You may be busy with work and only occasionally catch up on internet dynamics, but I follow his Fans Support Club closely and have been involved in nearly all of Younian’s activities... I am very clear about what kind of person he is."

"To be honest, whatever clothes Younian wears, whatever significance they hold, that’s his own business. Should you have to reveal your little secrets just to satisfy haters? We’re all adults, and minors should develop good values too, not force someone to do something they don’t want to."

"If anyone feels that Younian’s actions have betrayed Soaring Sky, betrayed the fans, then feel free to leave the group. Once you leave, you will never be allowed to rejoin, no matter what twists the story takes in the future!"

"That’s it, no more arguing in the group, you’re free to stay or leave."

Having said that, Sister Zhan sent a 2000 yuan red packet in the group, and everyone scrambled to grab it, frenziedly flooding the screen with joyful "Thank you, boss."

At the same time, some people took the red packet, left the group, and screenshotted the last few sentences about leaving the group to post online.

Several posts made it to the hot search list.

Si Younian’s Sister Zhan browsed Weibo with a slight frown of displeasure.

She opened WeChat, tapped on Si Younian’s profile picture, and typed a message: Younian, can you tell me the reason for today’s incident?

After thinking for a bit, she deleted everything.

Everyone has secrets...

She couldn’t break the rules just because she was a major fan of Si Younian, right?

Taking a deep breath, she believed that Younian had a reason for his actions!

She tossed her phone aside.

But not even half an hour had passed when her phone suddenly started dinging with alerts.

It was the special notification sound set for Weibo!

Si Younian posted on Weibo?!

She clicked on it quickly.
