“You’re not alone, previous poster I noticed too. But Luoluo must be very busy lately, that’s why he hasn’t had time to post.”

“Xiao Hei is so cute and adorable. When the two little male gods are born, the two of them and the fox together will be even cuter. Just thinking about that scene makes me unable to resist. [swaying][swaying]”

“The cute little fox playing with its equally cute little master, I won’t say I’m envious.”

Luo Lingxing looked at the comments from fans on Weibo and secretly smiled, especially when the fans praised the two children for being cute and gave them their blessings, which warmed his heart.

As he scrolled down, he found that many fans were saying they hadn’t seen the little fox act cute for a long time and missed it very much. Luo Lingxing smiled but said nothing after seeing this.

It was not that he didn’t want Xiao Hei to come out and act cute, it was just that Xiao Hei couldn’t come out at this stage, since the fox had already started to go into seclusion.

Since gaining fans, Xiao Hei had started cultivating. Although the amount of Power of Faith available for its cultivation was not much, it was just right for its situation as a little fox, since its new body had only been born for a short time and couldn’t withstand too much spiritual energy.

However, judging by the time, Xiao Hei should be out of seclusion soon. It should be able to come out before the two babies were born, and then the whole family could be reunited and welcome the two new lives into their lives.

Since winning the Best Actor award at the Golden Rabbit Film Festival, Luo Lingxing’s value and status had skyrocketed, and work had poured in like crazy, with scripts appearing as numerous as snowflakes.

If this were any other celebrity, they would definitely rush to accept offers that offer high pay, good image, and high class. After all, this was the period when an artist’s career was rapidly rising. Not only can they earn more money, but more importantly, they could increase their exposure and popularity, making them even more popular and valuable.

Unfortunately, Luo Lingxing was never an ordinary artist. What others saw as an excellent opportunity meant nothing to him. He was always very casual in his actions. When he wanted to take on a role, he would look for a script he liked. When he didn’t want to film, even the best script was useless to him.

People at Jun Ling Entertainment were used to his easygoing nature. At first, they might have felt it was a pity and painful to turn down those jobs, but they gradually got used to it. Moreover, most of the jobs that Luo Lingxing didn’t take could be given to other artists under the company, which was a great opportunity for them. Therefore, Luo Lingxing was extremely popular among the artists under Jun Ling.

Of course, the people at Jun Ling Entertainment were used to their boss’s style, but many outsiders were puzzled and even felt that Luo Lingxing was acting like a big shot, becoming arrogant as soon as he became famous, and expressed their pessimism about his future.

Chen Hongyu was one of them. He debuted around the same time as Luo Lingxing, but Luo Lingxing is now a hot A-list star while he was still struggling in the third tier. Therefore, he was very jealous of Luo Lingxing.

Luo Lingxing’s winning the Best Actor award this time made him even more envious and heartbroken. The most important thing was that Luo Lingxing easily gave up the job opportunities that others dream of. How could those who were still struggling to get more gigs bear this? It was a huge irony.

Of course, such sarcasm was only perceived by those with narrow minds. In reality, others don’t even have the time to satirize others, since they didn’t even know who the other person was, so how could they satirize them?

But this world was not lacking in such narrow-minded people.

Chen Hongyu V: Some people think they’re famous as soon as they win an award, and they start to think they’re the boss. They don’t even take on any work. Do they really think their popularity will last forever? It’s all just a mirage. Arrogant people will inevitably pay the price. I hope some people can calm down and be down-to-earth.

Chen Hongyu’s Weibo post immediately caused a sensation among fans. Although he did not mention any names in the post, everyone knew who he was subtly mocking. After all, there were not many celebrities who had won awards recently but have not taken on any work. There was only one such celebrity.

This angered the Luo-fans. What their idol wanted to do was none of anyone else’s business. He hadn’t bothered anyone. The main question was, who was this person anyway? He had no reputation and was just spouting nonsense. Was he trying to get attention?

“What does this post mean?” “What do other people’s actions have to do with you? Why are you being so sarcastic? You’d be better off minding your own business.”

“Who is this poster? I’ve never seen them before.”

“He’s just a third-tier celebrity. It’s normal that you haven’t seen him before. But I’m just wondering, why doesn’t this kind of minor celebrity take better care of himself? Why does he keep posting these kinds of things?

“What else could it be? They’re obviously trying to ride on the prince’s popularity and create buzz. It’s disgusting.”

“Poster, you can be as sour as you want, but please don’t drag my Luoluo into it. Whether my Luluo takes on work or not is none of your business!”

“Oh my, that fan is so shameless. They didn’t name names, how do you know they were talking about Luo Lingxing? Maybe they were talking about someone else. Who knows who’s trying to ride on his coattails?”

“Hehe, my Luoluo is just trying to ride the wave of popularity. The person upstairs is brainless and shouldn’t assume everyone is like you. It’s obvious who’s more famous, Luoluo or this third-rate blogger. Does my Luoluo need to ride the wave of popularity?”

“Well done, blogger! I support you. I’ve disliked that person for a long time. He has no talent, but he achieves more than others just because he has a powerful background. Such a person is simply a parasite in the entertainment industry and should be kicked out of it.”

“You’re really brave, poster. I give you a thumbs up.”

“There are idiots every day, but there seem to be more this year than ever before. I’ve really learned something new.”

Chen Hongyu’s Weibo was very lively, with haters and fans constantly arguing. Although he was also criticized a lot, Chen Hongyu was still very satisfied with the ever-increasing number of followers.

When he posted this, it was simply because he couldn’t vent his jealousy, so he thought of venting online. He never expected that a single Weibo post would bring him so many benefits.

He only posted something and didn’t name anyone. Even if these fans cursed him, it wouldn’t hurt him much. Instead, it brought him more popularity and more fans.

Having tasted success, Chen Hongyu posted another ambiguous Weibo post, but one that clearly targeted someone, continuing to mock Luo Lingxing.

Sure enough, the Luo-fans started arguing with his haters again on Weibo, even pushing him to the top of the Weibo trending list, which increased his number of fans. This made Chen Hongyu very happy and satisfied, as it was the first time he had ever entered the trending list.

So Chen Hongyu kept posting these things on Weibo, enjoying the popularity and buzz that Weibo brought him. This was much easier than taking on acting roles, shooting commercials, and going on public appearances, and the rewards were much greater.

Chen Hongyu’s agency wasn’t very big, and it wasn’t well-known in the industry. The company didn’t have any outstanding artists. After seeing that Chen Hongyu had gained a lot of popularity because of the Weibo incident, they immediately decided to help Chen Hongyu continue to associate himself with Luo Lingxing for publicity, trying to make Chen Hongyu a second-tier star, which would also benefit their company.

As a result, the matter escalated further.

By the time other celebrities in the entertainment industry discovered the incident, Chen Hongyu had already posted his third Weibo post. Chen Hongyu was originally a third-tier celebrity that not many people knew, so naturally, people wouldn’t pay attention to his news. If it weren’t for the involvement of Luo-fans, probably very few people would have known about this.

However, even if they knew, they couldn’t take any action. After all, Chen Hongyu was just a third-tier celebrity, and his Weibo post didn’t clearly state who he was targeting. At this point, even if everyone knew it was targeting Luo Lingxing, they couldn’t support Luo Lingxing like Luo-fans would, as that would only increase his exposure for free. So, the few artists who were on good terms with Luo Lingxing could only keep a close eye on the development of the event.

In fact, what celebrities found most disgusting was this kind of publicity stunt, especially the person being targeted. It felt like swallowing fly excrement, and yet they couldn’t even come out to clarify.

After all, people who were often used for publicity were usually very famous. If such people come out to clarify the situation, it would give people the impression that they were petty. If not handled properly, it would leave a handle for others to use against them, which would damage their reputation. Therefore, most celebrities could only silently be “used” by the other party when they encountered such a situation, which was a terrible feeling.
