Shen Xingsui dared to say that he had never been so ashamed in his life.
This feeling could be said to be quite amazing. If Teacher Fu paid attention to him a long time ago, before he met Teacher Fu in reality, then he might be so happy that he would go to heaven. But⌠if it happened now, after Teacher Fu had considered him a real-life friend, then he found out how much of a brain-dead fan he actually wasâŚ
This degree of shame was off the roof.
âAhhhhâŚâ He screamed inwardly, âWhat should I do now???â
Shen Xingsui was going inside. Why was Teacher Fuâs memory so good? After two years, how did he remember his score, and how did he find himself out of thousands of fansâ comments? Does he have super power??
Generally speaking, there would be many fans who pay attention to an artistâs social media all the time. With keen eyes, they would know if the said artist followed someone new or unfollowed someone. Especially for a huge star like Actor Fu. Therefore, soon, some fans noticed this:
[Fuck, is this an official relationship announcement?]
When the fans saw this name, of course they felt confusion in their hearts. Some couldnât believe it. After clicking in, they found that this seemed to be a fanâs account. Moreover, it was a super hardcore fan who would post a thing about Fu Jinxiao everyday! After flipping through this Weibo account, they found that the earliest likes and comments can be traced back to 2003!
What a terrible thing this is.
In 2003, most people hadnât even heard of Fu Jinxiao.
Some old fans slowly recalled:
[This brings back old memories. I remember that when I first became a fan about four years ago, the moderator of the supertopic was this Madam.]
[I remembered participating in a voting event organized by Empress!]
[She was super nice, and the group was super lively at that time.]
[Sheâs basically an ancient fan, my old womanâs tears are pouring out now.]
[Itâs the Madam? The Empress? Alright, sisters, letâs stop wailing. She deserved this.]
Celebrities generally interact with friends who were also in the entertainment industry. If they go beyond this range, the non-celeb friend would get attention, many of them would be negative. But today, Fu Jinxiao followed a non-celeb, a fan of his. While it has also attracted the attention and enthusiasm of countless fans, it is unexpectedly harmonious.
Well, mainly because the account was a certified loyal fan.
Plus, Actor Fuâs fans were notoriously powerful and protective. They usually have this mentality:
âIf some other little goblin dares to seduce my gege, then there must be three trials to see if she is worthy of Fu-ge. But if this person is⌠one of them, then letâs not talk about it.â
Some people also raised doubts:
[Why did Madam disappear for two years?]
[The most recent post was also two years ago.]
[Then if Fu-ge wants to pay attention, shouldnât he have done it two years ago?]
[Yeah, why now? Did you pay attention when we were about to forget about her?]
This question can be said to hit the nail on the head. Careful fans also began to make bold guesses:
[Madam, you wonât be able to succeed in this position?]
[Hahaha, have you developed offline in the past two years?]
[If itâs someone else, Iâll be sad. But if itâs Empress, then Iâm just uncertain of what to feel.]
[Hahaha, if a fan succeeds, rounding up means that I also succeeded.]
Everyone was discussing, while Shen Xingsui was facing an existential crisis. He would only be more entangled with Fu Jinxiao, and if he ever fucked up⌠wouldnât everyone knew that the account owner was him?!
Now the fans were friendly, itâs because they didnât know it was him. But if they knew, they might not be as friendly. Though, the most important thing was he could never ever let Fu Jinxiao know it was him.
If he ever knew, itâs best to let the Earth reclaim him.
âWhat should I doâŚâ
Shen Xingsui was going crazy, he was hesitating whether to delete the Weibo app or cancel his account.
But how can he be willing to cancel his account? This was the account that was the tantamount of his youth. Thereâs too many memories associated with this account. If he canceled his account, everything would be destroyed with no turning back.
Shen Xingsui rolled around on the bed at home, holding a flower and started tearing the petals, muttering, âCancel, or not. Cancel it⌠or let it be..â
Shen Xingchen came in and saw this weird scene.
âHey! Are you bewitched?â Shen Xingchen walked in with big strides. âDo I need to recite a spell for you?â
Shen Xingsui came back to his senses, quickly put away the flowers and said, âIâm not bewitched, Iâm⌠âŚappreciating the flowers.â
Shen Xingchen was speechless about the petals all over the place, but he still said, âMom asked me to call you downstairs, and sent us to install an equipment!â
Shen Xingsui was still scatter-brained. But he still followed his brother downstairs. It was nearly the beginning of winter, and the floor heating has begun to heat up. The kettle downstairs should be boiling some scented tea, as the nice scent could be smelled from up there. The warm yellow light in the living room was on, and they walked to the sofa while stepping on the fluffy and clean carpet.
Xu Enzhen smiled and said, âCome on, come and have a try.â
Shen Xingsui moved closer, and saw Xu Enzhen holding gloves and a scarf in his hands. He was still confused. Whereâs the equipment that was supposed to be installed? He trailed his eyes over the knitted items, and found that it was still connected to a big ball of yarn. This should be handmade by Xu Enzhen herself, and has only recently finished.
Shen Xingchen leaned over and said, âWhich one is mine?â
Xu Enzhen pointed to the black scarf on the table, âThis one, take it yourself.â
Shen Xingchen was quite satisfied. He put it on, and styled the scarf by throwing it over his shoulder. âMom, I have grown a lot taller this year, why are you still making it according to my previous yearâs height?â
Xu Enzhen deflected her sonâs complaint, âItâs just a scarf, it canât be too big or too small. Just wear it normally.â
Xu Enzhen walked to him and put the warm yellow scarf over his shoulder. She tied it neatly, then tightened the knot.
Shen Xingsui only felt that his neck was suddenly warm. The wool was made of unknown material, it was very skin-friendly, and he didnât feel any itching at all, it just felt soft and comfortable.
Xu Enzhen squinted her eyes, smiled and said, âHow is it, is it suitable?â
Shen Xingsui nodded. âItâs suitable.â
On the warm yellow scarf, the bottom two ends were embroidered with a little logo. It was two small stars, circling a crescent moon, The other half of this half crescent is a round sun. The embroidery was very exquisite.
âDonât lie to me, Suisui.â Xu Enzhen is afraid that this child is too shy and only says that to please her. âIf you donât like it, Mom can still change it to your liking.â
Shen Xingsui shook his head quickly and said: âNo, no, I really like it, Mom.â
As he spoke, his voice was a little soft. He was still a little shy around them, as he didnât know how to respond to this level of pampering. Still, he repeated his words again, this time with more clarity. âI like it very much, thank you, Mom.â
Xu Enzhenâs heart was about to melt. She was rather used to dealing with her cold-and-efficient Shen Minglang and little overlord Shen Xingchen. Their personality had been that way since childhood. Facing the cute and obedient Shen Xingsui, who was akin to a soft baby bunny, she wanted to pet him and protect him. But she wanted to pamper him more and more, but she knew that would only scare him off.
Xu Enzhenâs eyes were even more tender: âYouâre welcome, Mom is very happy to do this for you.â
Shen Xingchen leaned over to the side and said, âMom, can you change it for me? I think my star Itâs not big enough, how about making it bigger for me?â
Xu Enzhen immediately glared at him. âYou want that to change? How about you change it yourself.â
âI know thereâs a double-standard in this family but you donât have to be that blatant, Mom!â
After trying it on, Auntie Wu, who was not far away, came over and said, âYoung Masters, Madam, itâs time to eat.â
Shen Xingchen immediately forgot his sourness and bolted over to eat. Shen Xingsui took off his gloves. Xu Enzhen next to him asked doubtfully, âIs it uncomfortable?â
âNo, I just donât want it to get dirty.â
Xu Enzhenâs heart trembled slightly after hearing this.
Actions always speak louder than words. People might say that they cherished one thing, but it was only lip-service. Itâs different from Shen Xingsui, who said nothing but actually expressed his cautiousness subconsciously.
âItâs okay, Suisui.â Xu Enzhen came over and took the young manâs cold hand, and led him to the dining table, saying as they walked, âIt doesnât matter if itâs dirty or lost, I can knit one for you again. No need to worry about this, okay? Mom will make more for you in the future, I promise.â
Shen Xingsuiâs grip subconsciously tightened. He pursed his lips, a shallow smile flashed across his eyes, and his heart relaxed.
Itâs really great to come to the Shen familyâs house. All of the family members are so gentle to him.
Not far away, Shen Xingchen commented, âI have a lot in my closet. Mom, you knit too much last year.â
âDonât worry, if you are careless this year and lose one a week, I wonât make a replacement for you.â Xu Enzhen gave him a stink-eye. But when she looked at Shen Xingsui, she regained her tenderness, âSuisui, you donât have to be too careful. If you lose or get dirty, just tell your mother.â
He whined, âMom, I want to sue you for child abuse!â
Xu Enzhen picked up a steamed bun to block his mouth, âWho said that as if you donât lose one glove every week. Itâs either youâre too forgetful or too careless. Mom is tired.â
âAh, how can you despise your own flesh and blood?â Shen Xingchen made an exaggerated appearance of wiping away tears, and even pointed a butter knife at himself with an exaggerated wail, âI will let you taste the feeling of losing a loved one !â
Xu Enzhenâs mouth twitched into a smile.
Shen Xingsui couldnât be more amused. His Erge really was the comedian of this family.
During the meal, Shen Yong and Shen Minglang also came back. They both tried wearing the scarves and hats knitted by Xu Enzhen, which were very suitable. Although the Shen family was a top wealthy family, they preferred using these homemade products compared to those branded clothes. This also applies to their furniture â if they could be made by Xu Enzhen, then it will be used.
While eating, Shen Yong looked at his family members at the table, and said in a low voice, âThis yearâs Chinese New Year, I will take a holiday. I will take care of the companyâs affairs in advance.â
Shen Minglang also parroted, âMe too. I have enough capital to speed up several projects so I can take a holiday.â
Xu Enzhen was happy to hear this. Unlike in previous years, where there were less gatherings and more departures. Since Shen Xingsui came back, the atmosphere of the family has obviously changed. They were gathering as a family much more often. This really warmed up Xu Enzhenâs heart.
But Shen Xingchen said, âI may not be able to be at home until night.â
Everyone at the table looked at him in unison.
Shen Xingchen shrugged and said, âMy idol group received an invitation to perform at a special New Yearâs stage. So I shouldnât be able to come back until the performance is over, but if I hurry up, I may come home at night.â
Xu Enzhen then looked at Shen Xingsui.
Shen Xingsui hesitated and said, âWang-jie hasnât told me anything about my schedule during the New Years. So I think I should be free.â
Xu Enzhen breathed a sigh of relief, âItâs fine if you donât have a schedule. Just rest at home on New Year. But if you end up having a job, then just go. Itâs fine either way.â
Shen Xingsui nodded with a smile.
