*Ring! Ring! Ring!*
The incessant ringing of the phone woke Hyson up early in the morning. Even the sun hadn't woken up yet but someone was too eager to make him open his eyes. It was just that the cruel world was against his sleep. Tragic!
In his sleep, he didn't even bother checking who was calling. Instead, he just placed the phone against his ear with his eyes closed.
"Who is it?"
"You're still sleeping?" came a roar from the other side.
"Zhen Ge, even birds are sleeping at this time," replied Hyson.
"Oh, but you've certainly woken up a lot of people," said Lin Zhen. "And here you are worried about the birds!"
"What happened?" inquired Hyson in a groggy and lazy voice.
"Check the hot searches. Your fans are having a party! And soon, it's gonna turn into a murder party!"
Hyson's eyes opened immediately and he put the phone down. He went online and looking at the top three hot searches that all had his name, he was wide awake. What in the name of holy fried chicken happened while he was asleep!
The top three hot searches were as follows;
1: Little brother Hyson's voice is sweet as honey
2: Xiao Hyson is in the hospital!
3: Hyson injured during the shooting
"Umm... Zhen Ge, I'll call you later. And don't worry about it. I'll fix it." Then he hung up the call and continued to scroll through the hot searches.
He first clicked through the first one to see and found a video of 2 minutes where he was seen singing to a little girl in a hospital gown with an acoustic guitar. And that was the scene from yesterday. In this post, the comments were all praising his voice or his face as always.
Commenter No 1: Xiao Gege is so cute. And his sweet voice is all I needed today.
Commenter No 2: As always, our family's little Hyson is amazing!
Commenter No 3: His voice is like honey. And do you know what's better than honey? Just more honey!

Commenter No 99: Our family's little brother is so well-mannered. He is serenading to that little girl. I can't believe I'm jealous of the little girl right now! But Jiejie is still proud of you little brother!
Commenter No 999: I'm surprised how no one is paying attention to the fact that our little brother is in a hospital gown! Hospital gown! Does any of you understand the meaning of that? This Jie is mad right now! What happened to our little brother?!
Hyson went back to the hot searches and scrolled through the second one. He found out that after people started noticing that he was in a hospital, it made up another zealous discussion and shot up to the hot searches.
Actually, Hyson found his fans to be quite cute. After all, it took them so long to even notice that he was wearing a hospital gown. Before that, all their focus was on his singing and his face.
"What's wrong, Fai?"
Hyson looked up at Grandfather Xiang and smiled at him, "I am quite famous right now."
"You're always famous, my little prince," said Grandfather Xiang.
Hyson chuckled, "This time it's different."
"What happened?"
"Someone recorded me singing yesterday and uploaded it online. My fans seeing me in a hospital gown suddenly turned into detectives. And suddenly an insider even revealed that I got injured on the shooting set. Now, my dear cute fans are dragging the whole movie down. Well, the movie is already down. The thing is hearing criticism for 'Secret', the book fans have come out to tear my fans apart. Now, there is a blood bath going on. Oh, and my name is being dragged for no reason."
Hyson really wanted to find this 'insider' who so conveniently chose to make trouble for him out of nothing. If the book fans learned that he was behind the cut of the whole production, he'd be in even bigger trouble. But for now, he needed to calm his fans first.
He first opened his social media account and wrote a post:
'Little Dews, Xiao Gege is perfectly fine. Xiao Gege is sensitive to weather and fell ill. Xiao Gege feels so embarrassed to say this. But now, I'm absolutely fine.
P.S. It had nothing to do with the movie crew. I'm really thankful to everyone who cares about me so much! *love! love!*'
Attached with this post was a picture of him in his hospital gown that he took yesterday with his cotton and candy sitting on his head. He loved this photo and didn't mind sharing it with everyone. He knew his fans who were named as 'Little Dews' would be pleased with this just this post. Since he didn't like posting at all. This post was like rain after a long drought. Of course, his fans would be delighted!
"What's bothering you now?" asked Grandfather Xiang.
"Opa, do you think mum will check the situation online?"
"I can't tell you anything about that," answered Grandfather Xiang honestly. "Although Yue doesn't use her cellphone that often, she does follow all things related to you. So, it's hard to say..."
Hyson held his head with both his hands, "Argh! What should I do now? I even had to bed Ellie to keep it a secret. But all is in vain now!"
"Calm down," said Grandfather Xiang. "She was gonna find out eventually. Don't take it to heart. You're gonna tell her tomorrow, now she would just learn about it today. There isn't much difference."
"But there is a huge difference!"
He knew his mother well. If he told her everything on his own, that'd be a different matter but if she learned about it from a third person, it'd be trouble for him. So, before anyone could stir trouble for him, he had to call his mother and accept everything honestly. That was the only way to save himself now.
