The cold stream was clear to the bottom, raindrops fell into the water, splashing.
Ming Jing squatted by the stream, smiling, “You want to give me these two fish, right?”
Xiao Hoo nodded blankly, “Yes, I want to give them to Fairy Sister.”
Ming Jing took the two yellow fish struggling violently in Xiao Hoots hands, and they suddenly calmed down in her hands.
Xiao Hoo was surprised and said, “Even the fish like Sister?”
Ming Jing untied the grass rope and released the two fish into the stream, “Go.”
Upon returning to the water, the fish swam energetically, splashing water all around like dragons entering the abyss.
“Sister, why did you let them go? They were meant to be eaten.” Xiao Hoo said anxiously.
The two fish swam in a circle and returned to the shore, gathering at Ming Jing’s feet, looking up from the water with their empty eyes, shimmering with splashing raindrops.
Ming Jing laughed, “It’s fate that they met me, I’ll let them go to accumulate blessings for myself.”
Xiao Hoo stared blankly at her, feeling as if the girl at this moment was shining like gold, her eyebrows and eyes full of compassion and gentleness, like the goddess he and his grandma prayed to in the temple.
“Sister, are you a goddess reincarnate?”
Ming Jing shook her head with a smile, “Don’t blaspheme the Goddess.” “Sister, look!” Xiao Hoo suddenly pointed to the stream.
More and more small fish gathered, forming a large school of fish, swimming enthusiastically towards Ming Jing’s feet.
The raindrops falling in the stream couldn’t dampen the enthusiasm of the fish.
“They all like Sister.” Xiao Hoo felt that this scene was very shocking; he had never seen so many fish gathered together before.
Yan Xu, standing nearby with a camera, recorded this scene.
Ming Jing’s slender, white fingers waved gently in the air, “Go.”
As the words fell, the school of fish dispersed instantly as if they understood.
Xiao Hoo widened his eyes, speechless, “Sister, can you… command fish?”
Yan Xu also had a stunned look on his face.
Was this a supernatural event?
Ming Jing smiled, propped up her umbrella, and took Xiao Hoo’s hand, “Let’s go, the rain is getting heavier.”
“Where’s the fish?” Xiao Wenwen saw Ming Jing coming back empty-handed, “Didn’t a kid give you two fish? Where did the fish go?”
She had been dreaming about eating meat or fish.
She had even thought about how to cook them: half steamed and half braised.
The more she thought about it, the more her mouth watered, and her stomach started rumbling.
Her eyes were fixed on Ming Jing.
Ming Jing closed her umbrella, brushed her dress, and said indifferently, “I set them free. ”
She walked past Xiao Wenwen and entered the main room.
“Set them free?” Xiao Wenwen blocked Ming Jing, cutting off her way, sneering, “You really know how to play the good person, setting them free? You think you are the Goddess? We haven’t eaten meat for days, and you let the only fish we had go. Are you doing this on purpose?”
Ming Jing glanced at her coldly, and Xiao Wenwen telt a chill down her spine as she was stared at by those dark eyes. She wrapped her coat around herself, perhaps the wind had picked up.
“What…what are you looking at me for? Did I say something wrong?”
Ming Jing glanced at her, smiled, and walked past her.
Xiao Wenwen hesitated, what did her smile mean?
“What do you mean?” Xiao Wenwen blocked Ming Jing’s path again, determined to get an explanation.
“Misfortune comes from the mouth, and that’s all. Within a month, trouble will come. ”
“Ming Jing, come help me out.” Zou Jingyu emerged from the kitchen, waving at Ming Jing.
Ming Jing stepped over Xiao Wenwen and walked out the door.Xiao Wenwen stared at Ming Jing’s receding figure in the rain, and for some reason, she suddenly shuddered.
“Putting on airs,” she muttered.
She tightened her coat, smirked, and looked up to see Qu Feitai coming down the stairs.
Did he see everything just now?
Xiao Wenwen immediately plastered a smile on her face and greeted him cheerfully, “Brother Feitai…!”
Qu Feitai coldly nodded without even glancing at her and went straight to the kitchen.
Xiao Wenwen felt a little stifled. She had gotten up late that morning and heard that Ming Jing had gone out with Qu Feitai. They spent more than two hours outside, and she had no idea what they had been up to.
Was Qu Feitai blind? Why was he spending so much time with Ming Jing, a newcomer? Did he forget that he was a top singer?
Imagine if your die-hard fans saw this…
Xiao Wenwen’s eyes darted about, and she logged on Weibo with her phone. Qu Feitai had made it onto the hot search list that morning and was still up there.
Although the show had not announced its guests yet, the official Weibo account and other guests had followed her, prompting many old fans to deduce that she was a new guest on the show.
Although she was a newcomer, she had starred in two online series, which had achieved decent ratings, and she had almost a million fans.
Her latest Weibo post was a selfie, which had just over a thousand comments. Apart from a few genuine fans, the rest were bought by the company to inflate her popularity, commonly known as “water army.”
When she opened the comments, they were filled with typical water army sentiments like “Sister, you’re so beautiful…” and “Sister, kill me…”
After finding the perfect angle, Xiao Wenwen finally took a selfie she was satisfied with. Her pouted lips gave her a somewhat aggrieved look. She slightly retouched the photo and posted it on Weibo.
The caption read: Your brother is being seduced by a white lotus. I can’t compete. [Grievance]
She didn’t care one bit about the storm her Weibo post might provoke. If Ming Jing was going to upset her, then she would make sure Ming Jing wasn’t happy either.
You’re acting like such a white lotus. Let Qu Feitai’s die-hard fans teach you a lesson on how to be a real person!
As for offending Ming Jing, who cares? Her backer was no pushover either.
As expected, this Weibo post immediately attracted the attention of the show’s fans. The show had high expectations on various platforms since it featured Qu Feitai. When fans saw Xiao Wenwen’s post, they eagerly took it to various forums and ignited a debate.
Could this “white lotus” be the newcomer who is on the show with Qu Feitai?
Since Xiao Wenwen openly posted that insinuation in her Weibo, this must be a high-ranking white lotus!
The “brother” Xiao Wenwen mentioned must be Qu Feitai, right?
Damn, the one thing fans dreaded most has happened. Their pure and innocent brother must have been seduced by the bewitching newcomer.
The show hadn’t even started, and the fans were already at each other’s throats.
Qu Feitai’s most famous fan, @XiaoFei_early_tonight, posted on Weibo to calm the fans, urging them not to act impulsively and be used by others. Her words carried a lot of weight in the fan community and succeeded in stabilizing the fans. However, with a fan base so large, the younger fans weren’t as rational. They frantically searched for more information about the newcomer, worried that she would seduce their precious brother and taint his purity.
Since the show had not officially announced the guests yet, no one knew who the newcomer was, except for a few vague hints dropped by Lu Xinyu. The fans let out their rage without knowing who to target.
At least they stirred up interest in the show.
The fans were on high alert. This newcomer seemed formidable. She was already slyly playing up a romance with Qu Feitai before the show even aired. Once the show aired and the water army joined in, what then? It would be unbearable!
The fans were on standby, waiting to unmask the newcomer and criticize her so harshly that she would have to completely reinvent herself. They wanted her to understand one thing – anyone’s popularity could be leached on, except Qu Feitai’s.
When Huang Chao saw all this, he nearly had a heart attack.
It’s already starting to heat up now. My goodness, this newcomer’s team is very clever. Their momentum is fierce.
Of course, he couldn’t afford to fall behind. After so many years, Qu Feitai had managed to stay scandal-free and avoid any affairs. All of Huang Chao’s skills were lying dormant but, finally, his time had come!
He’d show whatever monsters and freaks who they were dealing with!
Huang Chao immediately called Tian Long and asked what was going on. Tian Long stammered, “Brother Huang, I don’t know how to say it. I have a feeling…
that Xiao Fei has unusual feelings for this newcomer…”.
“What?” Huang Chao covered his heart, unable to cope.
It wasn’t the newcomer stirring up trouble, but Qu Feitai inviting it himself?
Thinking of that ethereal silhouette, Huang Chao thought it was normal for Xiao Fei to fall for her. However, remembering the arrogant man who threw his business card, Huang Chao was filled with regret.
He had taken this variety show for Xiao Fei at the risk of offending the leaders of the TV station, essentially trading a watermelon for a sesame seed.
When Liang Xiaohong saw the online situation, she couldn’t help but join in, ready to curse to her heart’s content.
Under her instigation, the newcomer’s fame was quickly turning from black to red before even making her debut..
