Jiang Ying cared deeply about his brother’s recent major life shitsto– events. As a good brother, he left behind a compressed package of all the dirt he managed to gather; a treasure he cherished like his own baby. After doing such a good deed, he immediately returned to his filming crew in a hurry.

“Your family’s bad-tempered young master is gone?” Jiang Xun’s teammate, West poked his head out from the side, “he came early in the morning, saying he wanted to see the situation with your fiance. Seeing you haven’t come back, he insisted on waiting for you.”

Jiang Xun: “…”

“Have everyone returned?” Jiang Xun asked.

“SK and Kumachan will be here in the afternoon, and they can resume training. As for the youth training little babies… well, they basically stayed here for the past two days of vacation,” West said, “hey, Captain, I heard from your brother that your family arranged a betrothal for you?”

Jiang Xun nodded.

“Not bad, not bad,” West became interested, “are they1the pronoun used is gender-neutral/masculine actually. Besides, “she” and “he” are homophones. good-looking? When will you bring them here for us to see?” 

“This weekend,” Jiang Xun said, “en. He’s very good-looking.”

“Yo, if you’re telling me they’re good-looking, then it’s going to be something special,” West became even more curious, “Master Jiang has a high vision. You don’t even give a second look to those hot streamers and hosts.” 

“How’s the temper? They shouldn’t be too nice of a kid. Else, I’ll pity them when you will inevitably bully them silly.” 

Jiang Xun waved his hand in dismissal, “You’ll know when you see him. He has a good temper, but also strong-willed.” 

Besides, Jiang Xun had taught Gu Wei quite a few times. He knew Gu Wei’s temperament well at this point.

He turned on the computer, and then made an appointment for the TMW team for a weekend practice match. After finishing, he clicked on the compressed file that Jiang Ying had oh-so graciously given to him—

The black material of the well-behaved but alluring Little Friend Gu, which also sounds very interesting.

It could be said that Jiang Ying was someone who’s very concerned about knowing himself and his enemy. The files he sent was an impressive collection of all Gu Wei’s dirt all the way from his debut to today. He dumped his brother’s “goodwill” and decided to see all of it to understand Gu Wei’s career trajectory on a deeper level. Especially since he was rather… confused by well-behaved Little Gu’s stinky reputation. 

Just as Jiang Xun opened the compressed file, he saw the most recent file. It was a document titled  “Gu Wei Late Night Liking of God Xun’s Black History from Ten Years Ago”. While the oldest post was an audio file about Gu Wei’s disastrous off-tune singing that Jiang Xun had seen.

Jiang Xun shook his head, and sorted the files into chronological order.

Gu Wei and Jiang Ying can be regarded as two controversial traffic stars of the same period. Jiang Ying was infamous solely because of his bad temper. Jiang Xun remembered that there was once a female star who had arranged a dating scandal with Jiang Ying. Jiang Ying was mad and used his full arsenal of his main account plus 20-or-so alt accounts to fight back. He was merciless and became famous in one battle. And as for the female star? The less said about her, the better.

Now he wanted to uncover the mystery that’s been nagging him for a while. 

The mutual following between Jiang Xun and Gu Wei caused an uproar on Weibo. Under Gu Wei’s Weibo, the control and review team also started to work, reporting the swearing black fans and responding to the netizens, trying their best to make sure this wouldn’t cause another controversy. [a subset of his loyal fans who tried to control the direction of a discussion / sway public opinion.]

[Little Hedgehog’s Sunny Doll]: @User9786565, keep coming out and jumping like an idiot wouldn’t you? Why don’t you continue to cry your indignation for the world to hear? Now that God Xun followed Gu Wei back, you’re ashamed and speechless? Come come come, stop being a coward and righteously apologize to Weiwei. Or don’t, because I know you’re shit at apologizing. Just pack up and get lost. Shoo shoo. 

[Little Hedgehog’s Hand Warmer]: Gu Wei-didi, I like you the most, and I look forward to your new variety show! You have to walk the flowery road~ [Love.jpg]

[The Most Handsome Midnight Hunter]: Let’s break up this shameful convo. Gu Wei and Jiang Xun are recording a variety show together, you don’t need to talk about their relationship, as if there are any. 

The fan club’s work was timely and orderly, and it successfully shut down many antis who tried to muddy the water. Coupled with their mutual following on Weibo, it also managed to disperse the blind book fans who had been swayed by his antis. Although, many people still thought all of this PR work was thanks to Gu Wei’s agency.

“That Sunny Doll is pretty fierce,” Mu Yue was a little surprised while reading the comments.

“These little hedgehogs are indeed very powerful,” Gu Wei said in agreement.

As he said that, he clicked into the Weibo of “Sunny Doll”.

The microblog signature is “Sunny Doll’s effort in decapitate some heads” and she also was active in a peculiar supertopic——

#FoodForXunWei#2Nài Rén Xún Wèi; the hanzi is 耐人寻未; it’s a pun from the idiom 耐人寻味 which means food for thoughts / something that makes you think about. The “未“ and “味“ are homophones. 寻 is Xun in Jiang Xun; 未 is Wei in Gu Wei

Mu Yue: “…”

Gu Wei: “?”

What is this?
