I was persecuted and turned into a teenage idol

……

"Brother Ye Xing! Su Jian! You're finally back!"

When I got back to the dormitory, everyone else was already awake, and everyone looked pale.

"I heard from people at the company that you were chased by fans... and even went to the police station with Brother Ye Xing..." Xu Momo ran over, looking distraught. "How are you? Are you alright?!"

She frantically touched her body and looked around repeatedly.

Feeling Xu Momo's concern, Su Jian couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, I was saved by Ye Xing at the last minute... But him, that kid... I mean, Brother Ye Xing got a little injured."

"I have band-aids in my room!"

Ran Yulu's gaze immediately fell on the wound on Ye Xing's fist, and she ran back to her room to find a first-aid kit.

"How could this happen?" Even though she was usually calm, Ouyang Qingzi looked flustered. "A fan actually tried to climb into our dormitory... If it weren't for Su Jian, wouldn't we be in...?"

Thinking of this, everyone's face turned even more ashen, and they looked at each other in extreme fear.

"Don't worry, someone from the company will help you move your luggage to another place tomorrow, and I will also take you to the new dormitory."

While talking to the girls, Ye Xing waved to Ran Yulu.

Ran Yulu had no choice but to put down the first-aid kit and stare intently at the other person, feeling a chill run down her spine.

"Everyone needs to be more careful in the future. Since you are all girls and idols, the company can't send security guards to you 24 hours a day. Besides, that would be too conspicuous."

Ye Xing opened his eyes wide and gave him instructions.

"So you must keep this a secret! You absolutely cannot be discovered or followed. If anything happens, call me and the police! Understand?!"

"Understood!"

The atmosphere was tense because of the horrific attempted home invasion and murder that had just occurred.

Everyone listened to Ye Xing's words very seriously until he remained silent for a moment before speaking again.

"Yulu, Qingzi, Yuyan, and Momo. The four of you will go to the new dormitory with security tomorrow."

"Four?" Yu Yan frowned. "Then Su Jian..."

"Su Jian and I will hold a press conference tomorrow to clarify this misunderstanding."

The girls nodded blankly, and the room fell silent.

Suddenly, Su Jian raised her hand, breaking the silence.

"Hmm?" Ye Xing frowned. "What's wrong?"

“You…” Su Jian’s hand timidly pointed to his fist, which was bleeding from wounds that had reopened. “You should still get it treated.”

……

Su Jian was attacked in her home.

[Fans chase after Su Jian]

"Oh my god! How could this happen?"

"How terrifying! There are such crazy fans... It's just a relationship, right?"

"That's terrifying! I wonder how Su Jian is doing now? I heard there was a lot of bloodshed at the scene!"

"My God...this is insane."

"The police said this man already had a mental illness and had a crush on several female idols before, often scratching their photos with a knife. This time, somehow he found out the address of the Cotton Candy Girls' dorm, and then... well, it's terrifying! Everyone be careful!"

"Have you heard? Su Jian was killed by a fan because she was in a relationship!"

"Is Su alright?! Please bless her!"

The top ten trending topics were almost all about Su Jian being chased by fans, and each one was followed by the word "explosive".

Comments, news, various forums, online communities, and short video apps.

Almost as soon as it was light, the matter went viral, reaching countless people's phones in an instant and leaving them utterly astonished.

No one expected that such a crazy fan would actually go and chase after Su Jian!

On their way to school, the girls who were fans of celebrities whispered and talked amongst themselves, each discussing the breaking news that had broken early that morning.

Just as this news was grabbing everyone's attention, another trending topic gradually climbed up, eventually reaching the top three.

[Su Jian Holds Press Conference] (Breaking News)

……

"Wasn't it said that Su Jian was hospitalized after being chased by fans? Why is there a press conference all of a sudden?"

"The traffic these past few days has been comparable to an entire previous quarter! First the show, then the romance, and then the fan frenzy... the buzz is incredible!"

"I wonder what Su Jianjian is planning to do."

"Could it be that he's going to retire from the entertainment industry? After all, being chased by fans... he's probably traumatized by it, right?"

"Who told her to be in a relationship? The most basic professional ethics for an idol is to be single, although that fan was indeed a bit too crazy."

"If you ask me... hey! Here it comes!"

"what?!"

"She's here! She's here!"

"Su Jian is here!!!"

Click! Click! Click! Click! Click!

In that instant, a cacophony of camera shutters clicked, and the flashes of light transformed into a blinding beam of daylight, completely engulfing the stage.

Amidst the commotion and countless cameras.

Swallowing nervously, Su Jian clutched the hem of her skirt and mustered her courage to finally step forward.

Click! Click! Click!

The cameras went off, and a huge crowd below stared at them.

Su Jian gasped, and only after everyone quieted down did she stand in front of the microphone and begin to review in her mind what Ye Xing had taught her to say during her sleepless night.

"First of all... thank you all for coming so early this morning to attend this press conference."

This was my first time facing so many reporters, and I experienced all these surreal things.

Su Jian gripped the microphone, lowering her head, not daring to look directly at him.

"The reason I'm holding this press conference today is to tell everyone something."

"The person in that photo...is definitely me!"

Chapter 68, Section 22: Press Conference

"It really is you!?"

"So that means it wasn't AI face swapping, nor is it someone who looks like you!"

"Big news!"

"Su Jian, are you planning to announce your relationship?"

Is it a secret relationship?

"What's your relationship with that man?!"

"So, you're saying on the show that you've never been in a relationship was a lie, and that you were deceiving your fans?!"

"As an idol, you started dating right after your debut. Do you think you're living up to your fans' expectations?"

"Excuse me……"

A barrage of camera shutter clicks and questions followed one after another. The blinding light almost forced Su Jian to close her eyes, which narrowed into crescent-shaped slits.

"I haven't finished speaking yet."

Seeing that the reporters had quieted down and were staring at her intently, she finally mustered up the courage to speak again.

"I must formally clarify that the girl in the photo is indeed me, and I did go to the park that day. But—!"

The sudden change caused everyone to raise their cameras, and everyone stared intently at him.

"That man is my manager, Ye Xing. I'm not in a relationship!"

"If they're agents, why are they being so intimate?"

"If you're agents, why would you go on a date in a deserted park?"

"Su Jian, you said that boy is your manager, do you think people will believe you? Will your fans believe you?"

Reporters continued their relentless questioning, deliberately designed to embarrass and humiliate him.

The media always loves to praise you to the skies when you're at the height of your fame, giving you a helping hand.

It will also use all its strength to stomp you to the bottom of the valley as you fall.

Su Jian, being upright, had nothing to fear, and had already discussed countermeasures with Ye Xing.

"Regarding the incident in the park... I think everyone should remember that at the autograph session before this, I accidentally fell off the stage, right?"

"This..." The reporters looked at each other, then nodded. "Yes."

"That day I fell and cracked my head, and my manager, Ye Xing, immediately took me to the hospital." Su Jian held up a photo, "This is a photo taken by entertainment reporters on the day of the autograph session! You can see that the man who carried me away looks exactly like the people in the park!"

Click! Click! Click!

The sound of camera shutters clicking filled the air once again.

The reporters craned their necks to look closely, and one by one they suddenly realized what was going on.

"But..." Some reporters were still unwilling to give up, not wanting their big story to just disappear like that. "You just said your agent took you to the hospital? But why were you in the park? Doesn't this mean you might have used the hospital as an excuse to go on a date?!"

Upon hearing this, the reporters perked up once more, their gossipy gazes piercing through the air like lightning.
