CHAPTER 129: CHAPTER 130: TRENDING ON THE HOT SEARCH

"Ding ling ding ling ding ling."

At five in the morning, Ruan Xingwen’s phone on the bedside table rang on time.

Ruan Xingwen reached for the phone and quickly retreated back under the covers.

Hmm? Wasn’t it cold just now?

His brain cleared a bit, oh, yes, he just moved yesterday.

The phone in his hand continued to ring.

Beside him, Ruan Xiaoqi frowned and rolled over, giving a little smack to the dazed Ruan Xingwen holding the phone.

Ruan Xingwen immediately woke up, mainly because Ruan Xiaoqi’s slap was a bit forceful.

"Hello, Little Yuan, it’s so early..."

It was Wang Xiaoyuan calling, but the person on the other end interrupted before he could finish.

All he heard was Little Yuan’s energetic voice on the other side,

"Xingzai! Time to get up! A new day means a fresh outlook, get up for breakfast!"

As an assistant, Wang Xiaoyuan was truly dedicated, always worried about Ruan Xingwen not eating properly on schedule.

Ruan Xingwen took the phone away and looked at the time — 05:03.

"...Little Yuan, this is way too early." His voice was groggy and murmur-like.

"Not early at all! Did you forget you have an audition today? Get up early to prepare!"

"But... the audition is in the afternoon..."

Wang Xiaoyuan on the other side paused slightly, then said with a lively voice:

"Oh, Xingxing, remember to get up early for breakfast, okay? I’ll hang up now."

Why does it feel like a guilty conscience?

Looking at the phone that got hung up, Ruan Xingwen shook his head helplessly.

He’s the type who finds it hard to fall asleep again once awake, so he promptly got up and washed up.

Ruan Xingwen tucked the blanket around the still sweetly sleeping Ruan Xiaoqi, and got out of bed.

Went to the closet, took out a cozy outfit with a fluffy bear hat, stood in front of the mirror, tried it on, nodded at his reflection, very satisfied.

Then he went to the bathroom in the bedroom to freshen up.

Coincidentally, when Ruan Xingwen entered the bathroom, his phone screen lit up again, but without sound.

After Wang Xiaoyuan hung up the call, fearing the ringtone would disturb Ruan Xiaoqi’s sleep, Ruan Xingwen set the phone to silent.

The phone screen lit up for twenty-odd seconds and then automatically dimmed again.

Not long after, the phone screen lit up again, this time it was a message:

[He: Xingxing, don’t respond to the Weibo thing yet, leave it to me to handle.]

By the time Ruan Xingwen saw this message, it was half an hour later.

Originally, he only planned to wash his face and brush his teeth, but smelling the lingering scent of alcohol on the clothes changed from last night, he decided to take a quick shower.

When he came out of the bathroom, Ruan Xiaoqi had already changed positions several times.

Now, he threw his little chubby legs out of the blanket, riding on it.

"Seriously..."

While drying his hair, Ruan Xingwen helped him cover up with the blanket.

He stared at Ruan Xiaoqi’s chubby cheeks for a few seconds, thinking it seemed he got a bit paler.

Is the effect so fast? Would Yu Xiaozhe and others notice?

Forget it, let’s take it one step at a time, if it doesn’t work out, wait for Yun Jing to wake up and help turn Ruan Xiaoqi back into Qilin.

His hair was half-dried, Ruan Xingwen stood up to put the towel back in the bathroom, hung it up.

Feeling refreshed, he was ready to take the phone downstairs for some food.

To check the time, Ruan Xingwen pressed the phone, only now noticing the message from Zhang He half an hour earlier.

Hmm? What’s up with Weibo again? Don’t respond... involved with him?

Unable to resist curiosity, Ruan Xingwen opened Weibo.

The top trending search had changed from Mingsheng to:

[Yu Xiaozhe deceiving the public, secretly married and having children!!!]

"???"

Yu Xiaozhe truly had trending search magnetism, no matter how bizarre the content, it could make the list.

But where did he get a wife and kid?

Ruan Xingwen clicked into the trending search, all exclamation marks, as if he was clicking not on a trending topic but a pile of sentient exclamation marks.

The top comments were still from Yu Xiaozhe’s big fans.

[God Ze’s Little Darling: Ahem, regardless of the truth, if God Ze got married, us fans would naturally be supportive.]

[God Ze’s Little Sidekick: Yes, yes! This title seems to have a hint of smearing God Ze’s reputation!]

[Mr. Yu’s Li Xiaoxiao: You guys really shouldn’t speculate, I’m especially curious what Mr. Yu’s wife looks like! Also, does the baby resemble Mr. Yu too? Wow~~~ Do I have a chance!?]

[God Ze yyds: Step aside, if anyone has a chance it’s me!]

The following was a scene where fans competed to be Yu Xiaozhe’s sons-in-law/daughters-in-law.

Of course, there were also opposing voices.

[KKzz: Can Yu Xiaozhe’s fans stop self-entertaining...? Your idol gets married and has kids without telling you, and you’re there celebrating, are you brainless?]

[Meteor Hammer: Yes, always obsessed with God Ze this, God Ze that. Your God Ze gets married and has kids without informing you, so much for Golden Bachelor, ugh!]

[Invincible Hand aa: A pure bystander, why doesn’t Yu Xiaozhe focus quietly on acting? How many times has he been on trending recently?]

[Baby of Au Lait: Ha, why else would it be, he’s just not famous anymore, afraid of losing popularity, consuming fans and the public here!]

[Rucu Sweet Sweet Loves Chestnuts: Honestly, Yu Xiaozhe acts well, but spending money just to trend is quite off-putting.]

These comments naturally received rebuttals and ridicule from Yu Xiaozhe’s fans.

[God Ze’s Little Sidekick: Please, those claiming to be bystanders should remove the sanctimonious photos from your profiles, who knows what sinister plans you’re up to!]

[God Ze’s Right Hand: Exactly! Criticizing our God Ze for not working and acting seriously, please look at your own idol’s works before trying to stir up trouble!~~~]

Ruan Xingwen scrolled for about ten minutes without finding a single useful piece of information, except for a photo posted by the blogger that was extremely blurry.

Just a nanny car passing by picture, nothing special.

Why did Sister He say it was related to him?

He scrolled further down and saw the blog post: [Evidence will be uploaded at ten today. Yu Xiaozhe’s fans, see what kind of man your God Ze really is!]

This...

Does this person have some vendetta against Yu Xiaozhe? Why are the words so intense?

Speaking of which, what kind of evidence is he talking about? Quite curious!

Ruan Xingwen checked the time on his phone, four hours left.

His curiosity was further piqued about matters related to Yu Xiaozhe.

How about calling Sister He for some questions?

Let’s go for it!

Ruan Xingwen dialed Zhang He’s number, it was picked up instantly, before he could speak, Zhang He spoke first: "Hey, Xingxing, you’re awake."

"Mm-hmm, been awake for a bit."

"Did you see the message I sent? Did you check Weibo?"

Zhang He said another sentence: "Alright, let’s go with that."

But the second sentence was clearly directed at someone beside her, with a much lower volume, the phone seemed to be held a bit further away.

Ruan Xingwen waited for her to finish dealing with that, before answering: "I saw it, but Sister He, this trending topic isn’t related to me, right?"

"Hmph, not yet, it’ll be related after ten o’clock!"

"Hmm?" Ruan Xingwen still didn’t understand.

"You guys were photographed secretly last night! I really concede to these paparazzi, everywhere!"

"It’s also my fault, drank too much last night, neglected these concerns."
