Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Unwittingly Entering the Stan Mode

Shi Su wanted to get up, but her knees were so painful and numb, her body stiffened for a few seconds before she hurriedly moved back a few centimeters, only to meet the man’s gaze again.

Jing Jihan looked at her calmly, with a depth and a faint smile in his calmness, his tone light and low as if only she could hear it: "What do you want to do?"

Shi Su quickly continued to retreat, finally stumbling and simply sat down on the carpet, lifting her hand to awkwardly tuck her stray hair behind her ear, and then as if nothing had happened, used her elbow on the coffee table to stand up.

Then she hurriedly quickened her pace to the kitchen to find Mrs. Qin.

Jing Jihan was still sitting in the same place, looking down at his... um, crotch.

Then, the man rubbed his brow bone, helplessly chuckling.

In the afternoon of the next day, Chujun sent a WeChat message: "Sister, you’re on hot search again!"

In the past few months, Shi Su indeed had appeared on hot searches quite a few times.

Twice it was related to Yi City and Shi Yunyin, bringing her into the topic obliquely, yet she never once responded herself.

Another instance was the official announcement of Tilans as the Greater China spokesperson, where she cooperated with the ad agency’s promotion style, releasing an ad video and also reposted several of Tilans’ official Weibo posts.

Recently, due to the matters involving Four Seas Entertainment and Shi Yunyin’s contract termination, Shi Su was actually dragged into the trending topics, but it was not to the extent of reaching a top position. Even though Tong Yuanyuan fanned the flames, it at most reached only the third or fourth place.

But at this moment, #Shi Su Blocked by Tong Yuanyuan Fans#, #Shi Su’s First Response#, these two hashtags were prominently floating in the first and second places on the hot search list.

It was that little girl who had been holding a camera that published the entire video of Shi Su being blocked online, specifically posting it on Tong Yuanyuan’s fan support Weibo. The girl with the camera was a prominent fan in the Tong Yuanyuan fan group, often following flights and schedules, frequently capturing beautifully edited photos of Tong Yuanyuan at various events to post on Weibo. Furthermore, she managed various fan stations for Tong Yuanyuan’s official fan support team.

[Tong Yuanyuan Fan Station: [Everyone, I’m sorry to announce that from yesterday afternoon, I have officially withdrawn from Tong Yuanyuan’s fan support group, all station tasks here are suspended. Over the course of a whole night, I pondered whether to release this twenty-minute video. I locked myself in my home, watching it again and again, and finally decided to post it. I don’t have anything special to say to anyone, as I am still a student, understanding not much. But I can say on this path of fandom, my conscience is clear. Powering through passion and standing up for one’s idol is something every fan would do, but the muddy waters of the entertainment circle are not easily seen through by us fans. Is everything from hearsay really the truth? Overnight I understood the phrase "do not comment if not fully informed". Maybe some individuals are often in the spotlight because they have received what others have not, hence being pushed into the scandal by various navies. It may not be her intention, but we are all being manipulated by this agitated online environment.]

Below it was accompanied by the full video of that group of young fans blocking Shi Su in front of the hospital yesterday.

Shi Su walked out of the hospital, five or six of Tong Yuanyuan’s fans holding ugly photos of her blocked her, yet from start to finish, Shi Su remained unhurried.

"Sister tells you, don’t die in the mouth of others no matter where you die, dignity without a result is worthless."

"Destroying someone’s reputation in a circle is really too easy. Do you know what ’three men make a tiger’ means? Everyone adds embellishments and distorts the truth over the facts, transmitting the desired ’insider information’ to be known, leading countless people to spread a groundless story, distorting it even to lose its original appearance."

"If Sister Xu Dan can see this video, I hope you continue to uphold the principle of not lying, fully stating the context of my conversation with Tong Yuanyuan, under what circumstances did I say such a sentence, such a muddled conversation should have a cause."

"A good idol should be a beacon in your life path, not turn you into fierce brawlers."

This was the first time Shi Su directly responded to all rumors concerning her over the past months, apart from promotional videos and some behind-the-scenes interviews released by the production team.

She made no complaint, nor did she deliberately emphasize or hide anything. She just stood there quietly, seemingly chatting casually with a group of children.

Even though she knew she was facing black fans aimed at her with cameras, she still showed no fear, her eyes clear and honest, her tone calm and composed, making it hard not to ponder over her seemingly simple yet thought-provoking words.

Indeed, there was never any evidence to the accusation of her being a mistress; it was merely unfounded speculation from the start, later sensationalized by marketing accounts, and then an ambiguous "hehe" from Shi Yunyin herself.

The Tong Yuanyuan incident was no different—just her one-sided story without mentioning the cause, exaggeratingly describing such a clear and clean person as a complete fool.

Justice, as they say, lies in the heart.

But in truth, people’s hearts are not always just; they often lean towards the one they favor.

In this world, fairness and the precise distinction between black and white are not so easily discerned.

New topics continuously appeared in the hot searches, and the discussion direction regarding Shi Su suddenly shifted.

[Have we been maliciously manipulated from the start? Shi Su never responded to anything, showing she’s indeed a quiet and dedicated actress serious about her career, not one with so many issues, not a drama queen.]

[Unexpectedly, she has such a bold personality!]

[What really happened with Tong Yuanyuan? Sister Xu Dan, could you conveniently explain the whole process? @Yiqing Entertainment-Xu Dan]

[Eight-character maxim: Do not comment if not fully informed.]

[Indeed, there’s no evidence connecting these matters to her; where did the news originate? The marketing accounts were suddenly all against her out of nowhere a few days ago!]

[Where is this internal news from? Does it even exist?]

[Miss Shi Su, would you kindly address this directly on Weibo? Being calmly attacked by black fans is just inspiring, I’d love to see you clap back on Weibo!]

[Miss Shi Su is so elegant, her way of speaking and behavior is leagues ahead of those uneducated female idols; please talk more often on Weibo! "Don’t die in the mouth of others, dignity without result is worthless." Just with this sentence, I’ve turned to become your fan from a passer-by!]

[Low-profile and without drama, she’s rational and bold in facing black fans; I like her too, count me in as a new fan!]

[Count me as a new fan from a passer-by!]

[Turned from a hater to a fan +1]

...

Unexpectedly, upon the release of this video, Shi Su inadvertently entered into a fan-gathering mode.
