“Ye Shuangluo! Are you out of your mind? You haven’t attended class for half a month!
What’s going on with those unreliable uncle and aunt of yours? As your guardians, why can’t anyone reach them?”
Ye Shuangluo turned his phone volume to the lowest setting, listening to the barrage of voice messages from his teacher, marked as “Old Class.”
I have to admit, 60 seconds is the limit for a voice message, but it’s not his limit at all.
Let’s just say, the culture of Kyushu is vast and profound, and the other party, being a language teacher, managed to scold him thoroughly without uttering a single curse word.
Ye Shuangluo shook his head; he was currently preparing to board a flight back home.
In the past week, he had done something he always wanted to do: The world is so big, I want to see it.
Since his uncle and aunt were killed by an irresistible force, the control of the inheritance returned to him.
Therefore, Ye Shuangluo had ample funds to support his world travels.
Of course, this time his world tour didn’t leave footprints in every corner of the world; he merely checked in at some world-famous landmarks.
Because he found that up close, these attractions were just so-so, completely lacking the shock he felt when he saw them online.
Sitting in the first-class cabin waiting for takeoff, Ye Shuangluo took out his phone, which he hadn’t touched for a week, to check his recent reputation online.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took out his phone, a person dressed androgynously walked over with a stern face and said:
“Delete the photo you just took.”
Ye Shuangluo tilted his head, wondering what this gender-neutral person was talking about.
Seeing Ye Shuangluo’s reaction, the person sternly added:
“We just arrived, and you pointed your phone at Qi. Are you saying you weren’t secretly taking pictures?”
After saying this, the person even tried to snatch Ye Shuangluo’s phone.
Before Ye Shuangluo could react, a pale, well-defined hand grabbed the person’s hand.
“Sister Lu, he probably didn’t take a picture of me.”
The owner of this hand was a young man wearing sunglasses. Despite the shades, it wasn’t hard to tell that his features were likely very handsome.
The young man looked at Ye Shuangluo, a bright and cheerful smile appearing on his face.
“Hello, I’m Han Qi.”
“No need to introduce yourself; I definitely know you, big star.”
Ye Shuangluo recognized him; before becoming a player, he often saw Han Qi’s parody videos online.
Han Qi, originally an idol, was known for his delicate looks, and his company always marketed him with a macho persona.
As a result, he was never well-received by male audiences.
Just before Ye Shuangluo became a player, Han Qi had been criticized heavily online.
The reason was simple: such a frail-looking guy dared to star in a so-called superhero movie.
Even the screenwriter angrily criticized him on social media for being a diva, mysteriously disappearing during filming, and refusing to bulk up for the role.
Ye Shuangluo had actually seen that movie. To be honest, the acting wasn’t great, but it wasn’t terrible either.
Perhaps because Han Qi was originally an idol, combined with poor company management and marketing, his public image was quite poor.
So when the movie was released, countless people gave it a one-star review without even watching it.
However, although the “macho men” online didn’t like that trashy movie, countless kids loved it.
So the largest group of Han Qi’s fans wasn’t the female fans who liked his looks, but the massive group of children.
After the plane took off, Han Qi’s manager, Sister Lu, returned to the economy class.
The entire first-class cabin was now left with only Ye Shuangluo and Han Qi.
“Never thought I’d run into a fellow player on the way back from an overseas event.”
Han Qi was the first to break the silence. From the smile on his face and his warm demeanor, it was clear he wanted to express friendliness.
“I also didn’t expect that you, a household name, would be a player too.”
Ye Shuangluo looked at the young man’s thin, frail body, often criticized by many, yet he could clearly sense the terrifying strength within.
“So, that superhero movie, could it actually be a documentary?”
Han Qi smiled slightly, waving his hand nonchalantly.
“It’s definitely just a movie. How could a mere 1,000 gangsters possibly hurt me?”
Ye Shuangluo nodded, agreeing with Han Qi’s statement.
At the same time, he understood why Han Qi suddenly disappeared during the movie shoot.
It was likely that at that time, he had already embarked on an adventure in the derivative world.
During the rest of the flight, the two remained silent.
Neither of them were fond of conversation; perhaps Han Qi didn’t have this persona in public, but privately, he really didn’t like to talk much.
Ye Shuangluo scrolled through his phone, checking online comments about himself.
Thanks to Xiao Jianuo’s management team, his reputation had improved somewhat, but not by much.
There were still countless feminists who praised Louise as a goddess and regarded him as a disgusting piece of trash.
He also discovered that Louise was a feminist warrior, having posted many outrageous statements on social media in her early days.
Now, as a player, she was even more unrestrained, and her statements were compiled into feminist maxims, revered as a bible.
At an event, someone publicly asked her who was stronger, her or the Eastern Brother Black Knife.
“Heh, Brother Black Knife? What a strange nickname.
I’ve seen his battle videos; he’s really rough and weak.
And he wears a mask, hiding his face, probably because he’s ugly and can’t show himself.
Haha, sorry, that was a personal attack. Please edit that out, thank you.
In short, as you can see, if it were me, I could handle the fight elegantly and quickly.”
Han Qi, noticing what Ye Shuangluo was browsing, seemed to have figured out his identity.
When he saw the interview video of Louise playing on Ye Shuangluo’s phone, he chuckled:
“Louise… what a silly… clueless girl.”
You were just about to call her an idiot, weren’t you? You definitely wanted to call her an idiot.
Ye Shuangluo looked at Han Qi and asked:
“Why do you say she knows nothing?”
Han Qi’s smile didn’t fade as he explained:
“It’s simple, she’s too reckless. I happened to meet her at the overseas event.
I’ve already warned her not to court disaster; stepping on others won’t end well, but she didn’t listen. It’s hard to advise someone destined for doom.
She won’t last long; soon, someone will take care of her.”
He thought Ye Shuangluo would be happy to hear this news, but the young man merely nodded expressionlessly, indicating he understood.
(It seems I need to take care of this foreign woman who keeps stirring up trouble soon. How can I let her die at someone else’s hands?)
Yes, he planned to kill the monkey to scare the chickens, letting them know that the internet is not a lawless place.
The first one to be taken down would be Louise, the female warrior who constantly stepped on him.
Every time her popularity waned, she would drag him out for a round of criticism.
He couldn’t take it anymore; it was time to act.
…
After getting off the plane, as Ye Shuangluo and Han Qi parted ways, the latter suddenly said:
“If there’s anything you can’t handle, feel free to call me.”
“Oh.”
They had exchanged numbers on the plane, initiated by Han Qi.
Ye Shuangluo waved his hand in farewell.
Han Qi watched the young man’s back and shook his head. It seemed Louise was in trouble; counting this little guy, at least six players wanted her dead.
Tsk tsk, little guy, if you don’t hurry, you might not get the kill.
Retracting his thoughts, he got off the plane, ready to welcome the mythical beast cubs.
“Brother Tianyi! Brother Tianyi is here!”
“Brother Tianyi, can you perform that again?”
“Brother Tianyi, can I have your autograph?”
Countless children surrounded Han Qi, while their parents looked on helplessly.
Many people online didn’t understand why the kids liked this effeminate guy so much.
It seemed to be an unsolved mystery.
