The Chinese Spirit's Family Rescue Adventure

Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Trending, but It's a Negative One



"What do you mean by 'it's all gone to pot'? Isn't trending a good thing?" The assistant director was immediately distracted by the following shout.

The coordinator, looking as if his parents had just died, handed over the phone and said, "Have a look."

Well, the good news was that "Peach Blossom Spring" was trending. The bad news was that it was a negative trend.

When the assistant director saw the data that was obviously boosted by netizens without any water,he clutched his head in agony and yelled, "I knew it!"

This bloody awful news spread throughout the production team in the blink of an eye.

It all started with Wen Chi's live broadcast in the evening.

When he scowled at Suisui and yelled, "Don't call me brother," the members of the production team knew something was wrong and quickly asked the cameraman to switch the shot, for fear of capturing more of Wen Chi's embarrassing moments.

But there was no way to stop the viewers in the live broadcast room from cursing him. What's more, they immediately posted the recorded screen of the live broadcast online.

In just a few minutes, the short video attracted a lot of netizens, and the number of views exceeded ten thousand in no time.

The popularity rose so fast. Firstly, Wen Chi was quite famous, and there were plenty of people who wanted to see him make a fool of himself. Secondly, the clickbait title played a big role.

The netizen who first uploaded the recorded screen of the live broadcast titled the video "The Pretty Cub Was Fiercely Rebuked by the Former Top Star Wen Chi Because She Was So Beautiful!"

The title didn't quite match the content, but it was bloody eye-catching —

When people clicked on it, at first they thought they had been cheated: Pretty cub? Where was it? Isn't this just a little muddy monkey?

But when Suisui's face was wiped clean and her small face, which looked like it had a beauty filter on, was revealed, the netizens immediately "changed their minds": Oh my god, how can I get such a cute baby?

Then came the scene where Wen Chi suddenly changed his complexion and scolded Suisui. The netizens were furious when they saw it: How dare you shout at my internet daughter? Wen Chi, you bastard, go to hell!

Reversal, drama, highlights... plus Wen Chi's former top star status. It was no wonder the video went viral.

Immediately afterwards, the three hashtags #Wen Chi's Mania#, #Don't Call Me Brother#, and #Making Me Want a Daughter# climbed onto the trending list one after another.

This wasn't because of paid promotion, but because of the spontaneous discussion among netizens. Or rather, it was everyone joining forces to curse Wen Chi!

It has to be said that being infamous is also a kind of fame. The variety show "Peach Blossom Spring" wasn't well-known before, but now its reputation has soared!

However, most of the topics revolved around Suisui and Wen Chi. The former was popular, while the latter was being cursed bloody badly.

Regarding Suisui, the netizens said:

[This is definitely the cutest cub I've ever seen on the internet!]

[Oh my god, her face is so soft. I really want to pinch it!]

[Ah, my new daughter! The only daughter for me from now on! Please tell me where to find her account!]

[It seems that I can't find her on any platform. Is she a civilian?]

[This is a variety show, isn't it? Is she a potential child actor?]

Regarding Wen Chi, they were merciless:

[I thought this guy had been banned. I didn't expect him to be on a variety show.]

[I heard that all his endorsements have fallen through, and the merchants are claiming compensation. He must be on this variety show to pay off his debts.]

[Look at these tricks. He's filming the variety show low-key, planning to stir up hype after the public's negative feelings towards him fade away. What a sly fox.]

[Can someone who became a top star in two years be an easy-going person? Unfortunately, he showed his true colors on this variety show. It's really karma.]

[It's a miracle that Wen Chi can still be in the domestic entertainment industry. When will the authorities conduct a thorough investigation? Especially for Wen Chi, this kind of bad apple, kick him out first!]

[I originally wanted to watch this variety show because of the cute cub. But when I saw Wen Chi... Forget it, I'm out.]

Sneering, doubting, loathing, dissatisfaction... The scene in Suisui's dream seemed to be coming true step by step.

Just after six o'clock in the morning, Suisui, who was sleeping, let out a soft "woo" sound, like a sob or the whimper of a small animal.

Wen Chi was originally sleeping on the sofa in the outer room. Well, it was actually a long wooden bench. The paint on the corners had been worn off, and there was no cushion. It was less than 1.5 meters long. For Wen Chi, who was 1.85 meters tall, his long legs couldn't even stretch out. It was truly a torture.

He tossed and turned all night and hardly slept a wink.

In the dead silence, a tiny sound crept into his ears. Wen Chi, who hadn't been sleeping soundly anyway, suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.

"Suisui?" There was no response.

Wen Chi simply walked into the inner room.

Suisui happened to wake up too. Her big eyes were glistening with tears, her chubby cheeks were drooping sadly, and her small mouth was puckered.

She seemed about to burst into tears at any moment, but she was holding back her tears, looking even more aggrieved.

The bed was low, so Wen Chi crouched down beside it.

"Had a nightmare?"

Suisui's rolling eyes finally caught sight of him. The golden tears were on the verge of falling, and then with a "wa" sound, she threw herself into Wen Chi's arms.

The soft little body crashed into his arms, bringing with it the fresh scent of grass and trees. Instantly, the agitation caused by Wen Chi's sleepless night disappeared.

Suisui sobbed, "Predestined one! You're so pitiful!"

Suisui couldn't remember many details of the dream. With her childish mind, she didn't understand what cyberbullying or depression meant.

All she knew was that in the dream, Wen Chi was very sad and miserable, like a withering grass on the verge of drying up.

That intense despair affected her, making her not even want to eat her favorite sweet fruits. If she could, she would give the sweet fruits to Wen Chi, as long as he could be happy.

Wen Chi was confused:?

Suddenly, Suisui's eyes became firm, and she swallowed back her tears, clenching her small fists and saying, "Predestined one, I won't let you die!"

Wen Chi was even more bewildered:?

He tentatively asked, "... You dreamed that I died?"

This was Wen Chi's own guess, not something Suisui said. After hesitating for a moment, Suisui nodded.

Wen Chi quickly comforted her, "Dreams are always the opposite."

Suisui muttered in a low voice, "It's not." In her heart, she believed that the dream was real and was fate.

Wen Chi had a strange feeling in his heart. He asked again, "Were you crying for me?"

"Crying?" Suisui wrinkled her small eyebrows and wriggled out of Wen Chi's arms. Her stray hairs stood up in anger. "Crying is useless! Suisui never cries!"

Wen Chi looked at her face and saw that it was indeed dry, without any tear stains.

"Then what was that sound just now..."

"You heard it wrong!" The stubborn little cub would never admit defeat.

"Okay." Wen Chi couldn't help but smile. But suddenly, his smile froze. After thinking for a long time, he slowly said, "Yesterday... I'm sorry."

After saying that, he quickly turned his face aside, not daring to look at Suisui's reaction.

Unexpectedly, Suisui scratched her face and asked, "What are you sorry for?"

Hey, she had already forgotten yesterday's thing long ago — this generous Suisui never held grudges!
