Chapter 349: Worried Fans (8/10)
Added 2024-09-03 16:56:15 +0000 UTC"Yu Lu You Yue" is one of the most famous talk shows in China, with an average viewership rating of about 0.08% per episode.
However, the episode featuring Link and Chris Liu set a new record, reaching a rating of 0.35%, ranking first in its time slot, and Link's fame in China soared.
Previously, Chinese audiences knew of Link, but their understanding was fragmented.
Those who liked English songs saw him as a singer, boxing fans thought he was just a boxing champion, those who had seen his movies thought he was a movie star, and many others still remembered him from two years ago as an Olympic champion.
After this program, everyone realized he was a man who combined the titles of world boxing champion, music superstar, and movie star, a 21-year-old billionaire.
At the same time, many of Chris Liu's male fans expressed concern about Link's appearance. Link was too handsome, wealthy, and talented, making him almost 100% irresistible to women.
Would Chris Liu be "harmed" by being friends with such a person?
The thought of their "fairy sister" being "harmed" by a foreigner made the male fans increasingly uncomfortable. They flocked to Chris Liu's Weibo, leaving messages hoping she would stay calm, not fall for a foreigner, and remain just ordinary friends with Link.
But soon, a group of comments shattered their illusions.
These people were mostly overseas Chinese students who told domestic netizens not to be fooled by Link's words on the show. Although Western media often exaggerated Link's scandals, he was indeed a womanizer and had been linked to many female stars.
These included top British actress Emma Watson, French rose Marion Cotillard, Victoria's Secret supermodel Doutzen Kroes, gold-digger Amber Heard, rising Hollywood star Jennifer Lawrence, and Hollywood beauty Alexandra Daddario.
These six were confirmed rumored girlfriends.
There were also more than ten other female stars suspected of having flings with him, including Kristen Stewart, Emma Roberts, Emma Stone, Katy Perry, Keira Knightley, Gal Gadot, Adele, Lady Gaga, and so on.
These overseas Chinese students not only listed the names of these female stars but also posted their beautiful pictures online.
Domestic netizens saw the pictures of Emma, Marion, Doutzen, Amber, Jennifer, Daddario, Kristen, and others.
They were drooling with envy.
These women were so beautiful, and although their "fairy sister" was also pretty, she wasn't much more beautiful than them.
Since these women had all been "conquered" by Link, how far was Chris Liu from being "conquered"?
The male fans felt a chill in their hearts.
But some netizens also defended Link.
They claimed that Western media liked to report negative news about celebrities, and the more famous the star, the more negative news there would be. For example, Michael Jackson and Madonna, both of whom were once at the top of the Western music scene, were described as a child molester and a slut, respectively.
Link was so famous now that the Western media wouldn't let him off the hook. He was too good, with almost no flaws, so the media couldn't find a breakthrough and resorted to slandering him as a womanizer.
In reality, Link was a good man.
The overseas Chinese students retorted that in the West, "Link is a womanizer" was almost a consensus, but because he was so powerful and talented, no one cared about his private life.
Chris Liu had been dating him for over two years, and the probability of her not being "harmed" was almost zero.
The male fans' hearts continued to chill. Their "fairy sister" seemed tainted. Should they continue to like her?
While everyone was struggling with this, some netizens posted the schedules of both Link and Chris Liu. In the past two years, Link had been developing his career in Europe and the US and had never been to China. Chris Liu had been in China all along, and the two had almost no interaction, so it was impossible for them to have any relationship beyond friendship.
The male fans thought about it and realized this was indeed the case, feeling a bit relieved.
But then someone revealed that they had seen Link at the Shenzhen Four Seasons Hotel four or five days ago, accompanied by two girls, one of whom seemed to be Chris Liu. It was past 9 pm, and both the person and their girlfriend could testify to this.
The male fans' hearts sank. Not only did they feel cold, but they also felt some pain.
However, someone else refuted this claim, saying that without photos or videos, accusing a girl of being impure based on a single word "seemed" was something only a fool would believe. Besides, when Link was in Shenzhen for his concert, he stayed at the Sheraton Hotel, not the Four Seasons Hotel.
The male fans were left feeling hot and cold by these news, their hearts aching.
Due to limited information online and the questionable credibility of the news, they didn't know who to believe or whether their "fairy sister" had been "harmed."
To be safe, some fans started a campaign on Tieba with the slogan "Protect the Fairy Sister." The slogan resonated with many, receiving over 300,000 likes in a day.
"Ha, these fans are quite cute."
Chris Liu, the subject of the gossip, was lying on the sofa, swinging her fair legs, happily reading the comments on her computer. She even gave a thumbs-up to the "Protect the Fairy Sister" post.
Smack!
While she was enjoying herself, she got a pat on the butt.
Chris Liu turned around in surprise and saw her mother staring at her with a stern face.
"Mom, what's wrong again? Can you stop frowning every day? It's scary." Chris Liu rubbed her butt and complained.
"Liu Yifei! Tell me honestly, what else did you do last Wednesday night after you and Shu Chang watched the concert? I know everything. Don't try to hide it from me."
"N-nothing!"
"You dare to lie? Look at this!"
Liu Li took out her phone and pointed to a netizen's post about seeing Link at the Four Seasons Hotel with two girls.
Others might not believe this news, but Liu Li couldn't help but believe it.
Because Feifei and Shu Chang were staying at the Four Seasons that day. When she agreed to let Feifei go to Link's concert, she had considered that they might chat privately, but she didn't expect Feifei to be so bold as to bring a foreign boy back to the hotel at night, especially a playboy.
Wasn't this like inviting a wolf into the house?
"This..." Chris Liu's face turned red unnaturally when she saw the message. She was very happy to see Link that day, and after shopping and eating snacks, she had a little wine and became even more excited. In her excitement, she invited Link to the hotel to continue drinking and chatting.
Thinking back on it, she couldn't help but blush. She was too bold that day.
Seeing her daughter's expression, Liu Li instantly understood everything. Feifei really did bring Link back to the hotel that night. The thought of her obedient and sensible daughter bringing a man back to the hotel at night made her feel a sense of loss of control.
"Tell me! Who suggested bringing Link back to the hotel, Link or Chang Chang? And what happened that night? I want you to tell me everything." Liu Li said, holding back her anger.
"Mom, don't be so nervous. Nothing happened that night."
Chris Liu smoothed her hair, sat up, and recounted the events of that night, from backstage to shopping, to her主动 inviting Link to the hotel, chatting at the hotel, and then going to sleep.
"Sleep? How did you sleep?"
"How else could we sleep? The room Chang Chang and I booked had two beds. Chang Chang and I slept in one, and Link slept in the other."
"..."
Liu Li looked at her in disbelief, "The three of you slept in one room at night?"
"Yes, what's wrong with that? Actually, I'm not too sure. I was drunk that night. Chang Chang said Link carried me to bed in a princess carry, very gently."
"You were drunk?"
Liu Li rubbed her forehead. Today's conversation was a bit beyond her comprehension. Her usually obedient and sensible daughter not only brought a man back to the hotel but also shared a room with him and got drunk.
She had no defenses against Link at all.
When did her daughter become so naive?
"Did he bully you? Did you feel any discomfort when you woke up the next day?"
"Of course not, Mom. You think too badly of people. Chang Chang said after I got drunk, Link wanted to leave, but she saw it was late and persuaded him to stay. She gave him the other bed, and then Chang Chang and I slept together, and Link slept in the other bed. Nothing happened."
"Are you sure? Did you check carefully?"
"Mom! I'm a girl. Wouldn't I know if I was bullied?"
Chris Liu blushed and pushed her hand away.
Liu Li looked at her cheeks and forehead, and indeed there was no change.
"So Link slept with you guys and did nothing?"
Liu Li was a bit surprised. Would a playboy like Link let go of the meat in front of him?
"Mom, I told you Link is a good guy. He wouldn't do anything to bully girls. Besides, look at his ex-girlfriends, his current girlfriend, and his rumored girlfriends. Do you think he lacks women?"
Chris Liu pointed to several pictures of beautiful women on the computer.
The first was a picture of Taylor Swift singing and dancing on stage, with fans cheering loudly below. She had a powerful aura.
The second was the beautiful Ivanka Trump, whose figure, appearance, temperament, background, and education were all top-notch.
And his rumored girlfriends were all beautiful and sexy women.
Liu Li saw those pictures and felt that Link was indeed fortunate with women. Maybe he really wasn't interested in Chinese girls. But seeing her daughter's dejected expression, she couldn't bear it and comforted her:
"Our Feifei is also a great beauty in the eyes of foreigners. Otherwise, Link wouldn't be friends with you and invite you to his concert. You know, men are visual creatures."
"Really?"
Chris Liu blinked and asked happily.
"Of course! The performance costume has arrived. Come out and try it on to see if any adjustments are needed."
Liu Li patted her and walked out.
"Okay!"
Chris Liu put on her slippers and went out to try on the concert costume. It was made according to her body proportions and fit perfectly, no alterations needed.
After the fitting, Chris Liu remembered something and called Shu Chang to ask if her injury had healed. That night, Shu Chang accidentally fell in the bathroom and hit her knee and hip bone, resting in the hotel for two days.
Chris Liu asked if she could come to the concert.
Shu Chang said she was much better and could go tomorrow.
Chris Liu said okay, see you at the concert.
