Chinese Entertainment: Top-Tier Boyfriends of Young Actresses

Faced with the overwhelming public opinion online, Su Yu and Huo Xiaolan, together with their studio's public relations staff, worked through the night to develop a response plan.

Everyone worked until 3 a.m. and finally came up with a feasible plan.

As soon as I got home and turned on my phone, hundreds of missed calls and hundreds of unread messages popped up in a flurry.

Su Yu turned off his phone as soon as the smear article was published.

It wasn't about escaping; he knew that turning on his phone at that moment would only overwhelm him with a deluge of messages, impairing his judgment.

The messages and phone calls came from Zhou Ye, Ma Sichun, Zhang Ruoyun, Liu Haoran...

Even Zhou Dongyu and Huang Xiaoming, who had previously appeared on variety shows with him, sent him messages of support.

But most of the messages and calls came from his two girlfriends and his family.

Upon seeing these messages, Su Yu's heart softened immediately; as expected, they were the ones who cared about him the most.

Su Yu first sent a message to his family to tell them not to worry.

Then he made a video call to Wang Churan.

He chose to call Wang Churan first because when he looked through his message history, he saw that the girl had sent him a message to comfort him just a minute earlier.

The fact that Wang Churan was still sending messages at 3 a.m. shows that she was really worried and couldn't sleep. Su Yu needed to put her mind at ease first.

The video request was answered almost instantly.

The screen lit up, and Wang Churan's face appeared on the screen.

She was wearing that creamy white nightgown, her hair was loose, she was nestled in the blankets, and her eyes were red.

The background is her bedroom, so it seems this girl isn't in her dorm.

"Baby, are you alright?" Her voice came through the receiver, tinged with obvious anxiety.

She was shocked when she saw the overwhelming amount of negative information about him online. She immediately called Su Yu, but he didn't answer after several attempts. She couldn't stop worrying about him, afraid that he might do something rash, so she kept sending him messages.

"I'm fine, I'm sorry to have worried you." Su Yu leaned back on the sofa, looking at the nervous little face on the screen.

He had known Wang Churan for so long, and this was the first time he had ever seen her with such an expression.

Wang Churan stared at him intently for a while, making sure that there was no sadness or dejection on his face as she had imagined, before she finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Then her expression instantly switched to indignant mode, her brows furrowing, and her tone extremely angry: "Those people are so wicked! They make up rumors at will, using anything to smear others, it's truly despicable!"

Su Yu couldn't help but laugh when he saw her looking even angrier than he was.

"Don't get angry. It's not worth ruining your health over someone like that."

Su Yu comforted Wang Churan, "It's okay, the truth will out, and the lie will never become the truth, don't worry."

"But the insults they used were so awful..."

"They're insulting the Su Yu they imagine, not me." Su Yu looked at her on the screen, his voice softening. "Don't you know what your boyfriend is like?"

Wang Churan paused for a moment, then nodded.

The two chatted for another ten minutes or so, and Wang Churan's emotions gradually calmed down.

Before hanging up, she unusually refrained from pleading or trying to persuade him to stay, and simply said softly, "Then you should get some rest."

Su Yu watched the screen go black, smiled, and then swiped to Tian Xiwei's chat window and made a video call.

It rang several times before I answered.

The screen lit up, and Tian Xiwei sat cross-legged on the bed, wearing a loose T-shirt, her hair casually tied in a bun, her face without any makeup, and her lips slightly pursed, looking angry.

"You're still awake so late?" Su Yu initially thought Xiao Tian was already asleep, since it was already past 3 a.m.

"Yeah, I'm so angry I can't sleep." Tian Xiwei rubbed her nose, her tone unfriendly. "I was just arguing with those haters who are trying to smear you."

Su Yu was taken aback: "Why are you paying attention to those people?"

He was somewhat amused and exasperated. He knew that Tian Xiwei had a straightforward temper, and he had heard rumors in his previous life that she would personally use a alternate account to engage in online battles with others.

Unexpectedly, this has actually happened.

"It hurts me to see them insulting you," Tian Xiwei pouted. "I can usually tolerate being insulted myself, but when I see those people insulting you, I just can't swallow it."

Damn, this girl is so good at flirting, I'm moved by her again.

Looking at the Chongqing girl on the screen, her face puffed up with anger, Su Yu suddenly felt a tender feeling welling up inside him.

His voice softened: "It's okay, baby, I can handle it. Don't argue with them. It's not worth getting yourself upset over them."

After chatting with Tian Xiwei for a while longer, and confirming that she had calmed down a bit, Su Yu finally hung up the video call.

But after hanging up, Tian Xiwei became angrier the more she thought about it.

She's not immune to criticism. Since the premiere of "A Love So Beautiful," her Weibo comment section has become much more lively. While most of the comments are positive, there are also some sarcastic remarks saying that she's "average-looking," "awkwardly talented," and "only got carried by Su Yu."

When she sees these comments, she might just purse her lips, turn off her phone, go have a good meal, and forget about it.

But today is different.

Today, when she opened Weibo, all she saw were people cursing Su Yu.

She couldn't help but react to the terms "plastic surgery monster," "plagiarist," and "scumbag" that were used to describe him.

She could tolerate occasionally scolding Su Yu, after all, she was his girlfriend.

But who are these worthless scoundrels? How dare they insult my boyfriend?

So she picked up her phone again and logged into her Weibo side account.

She registered this account when she first became a fan of Su Yu. She reached level nine in Su Yu's super topic and was certified as a die-hard fan. She usually used it to sign in and participate in the rankings, and occasionally screamed "Su Su is so handsome" with other fans in the comments section.

Today, this number finally came in handy.

Under a popular post about Su Yu's "plastic surgery" rumor, the top comments section was already occupied by paid trolls, all saying things like "face-changing monster," "plastic surgery face," and "How dare they call him the school heartthrob."

Tian Xiwei stared at the comments for a few seconds, her finger hovering over the screen for a moment before she began typing rapidly in the input box.

"A bunch of sons born without an anus, taking a few rumors as gospel. It's a shame they're not eunuchs."

After sending it, she stared at the screen for a moment.

Kuroko's reply came quickly.

"They have pictures and facts to prove it, how could they fake it? Brainless fans are really scary."

Upon seeing this comment, Tian Xiwei's mind went blank for a moment.

She was instantly fired up, then sat up straight and started typing rapidly.

"Bullshit! 'A picture is worth a thousand words'? You take a blurry photo where you can't even make out a face and call it proof?"

"Did your mother damage your brain when she gave birth to you, causing your current mental impairment?"

"Can't you see all these childhood photos of Su Yu in the supertopic? If you're blind, go get them treated!"

The person then replied, "So rude. Like attracts like."

Oda replied instantly: "NMSL!"
