The 'FoodForXunWei' superchat group wasn't particularly active. They didn't have all that many members, and when Gu Wei took a look around, he saw most of the members kept to themselves. It was just Sunny Doll, who had spiraled into a deep depression last night, who now spouted some nonsense about Jiang Xun and Gu Wei being together for real.

@Little Hedgehog's Sunny Doll: #FoodForXunWei Come one, come all, you won't regret investing your feels in our ship. Follow our group today, and you seriously won't regret being one of the earliest fans of XunWei~

Gu Wei was baffled by her conviction.

Sunny Doll had even declared she would personally throw hands with anyone who talked about opposing ships in their group.

Gu Wei didn't get it. He had been keeping a low profile these past few days. Here he was, quietly studying for his upcoming role at Jiang Xun's place, not showing his face in public or making any sort of trouble. How did this tiny fandom surrounding him and Jiang Xun suddenly get a new burst of energy?

And Sunny Doll's claims were so exaggerated that they had lured in a wave of anti-fans.

Anti 1: Seriously shut the fuck up, these two are impossible, just completely impossible. They're only appearing together as hype for their new program.

Anti 2: I'm following you just to wait for you to realize the truth.

Anti 3: We won't stand for it if you keep wrapping Jiang Xun up in this nonsense. Just let him play his games in peace. Can't you leave him alone? Gu Wei has been leeching off him for too long already. We've had enough.

Anti 4: That's right, I've had enough for Gu Wei! If Gu Wei and Jiang Xun are for real, I'll live stream myself eating chicken shit.

@Little Hedgehog's Sunny Doll: @Anti 4 God Xun hasn't said anything, you trolls are just getting upset on your own. I took a screenshot of your profile, I'll be remembering you and waiting for your livestream. Don't chicken out~

In all eighteen years of his life, Gu Wei had never seen such a vicious feud brewing right before his eyes. Betting on tearing off heads and eating chicken poop? It was too grotesquely fascinating. He couldn't help but watch the group for a while longer.

But he didn't get a chance to spectate for too long, because he got an early-morning message from his nemesis of all people—

Gu Wei instantly recognized the image as a screenshot of the national celebrity popularity rankings that had just come out. It showed that Jiang Ying had just narrowly, narrowly placed one spot above him.

[Big-Clawed Crab]: Sometimes, effort is more important than fame.

Gu Wei frowned.

Ever since they had become rivals, Jiang Ying would send him a screenshot every time he ranked above Gu Wei on any popularity poll. Of course, when Jiang Ying ranked below him, he wouldn't send anything at all.

Now that Gu Wei thought about it, Jiang Xun's personality and his little brother's personality couldn't have been more different.

And when his mind drifted back to Jiang Xun, Gu Wei couldn't help but remember the way Jiang Xun had called him a lord of dance. It was a commonly used moniker in the entertainment industry, but for some reason that Gu Wei wouldn't comprehend, his heart raced a little faster when he heard it from Jiang Xun.

[If You Love Me Please Send Me Money]: It's bad to stay up all night, don't stay up so late just for your rankings.

[Big-Clawed Crab]: Hmph, I'm just more popular than you.
