Chapter 916 - 915: My Fans Are Passed Down Through Generations

Fortunately, the three ladies still considered that the program was in live broadcast format and shortened their skincare time, truly returning within five minutes.

However, each one was still carrying bottles and jars, intending to do skincare in front of the camera.

To facilitate washing her face, Mu Qiu tied her hair into a bun, with the strands of hair on her forehead wet.

Cheng Zhirang glanced at her twice.

Guan Yu was still patting lotion on her face, the sound startling Shi Yuhuai.

"Where have we progressed to? What issue are we discussing?"

Shi Yuhuai: "No progress. Can you pat a little quieter? Or let me help you pat."

"...Are you out of your mind?"

As they talked they veered off the topic, and couldn’t continue, so the director had to step in to assist.

"If you can’t find a topic, we’ll start one for you. About the second wave of false rumors appearing online after everyone joined the program—Brother Huai, it’s circulating online that you dated Lin Banyan, who is in the same company. Is this true?"

"Wow, starting with such an explosive rumor question?"

Everyone looked towards Shi Yuhuai.

Shi Yuhuai denied speechlessly: "Of course not, we are just senior and junior in the same company, have never dated, everyone online knows this, you might as well spread rumors about her dating Su Yan."

"Senior and junior?" Shu Ran played the role of the mediator, "I heard you trained in the same company from a young age, have a good relationship? Previously, the program had you call, and you called Lin Banyan."

He nodded: "I don’t have many friends with whom I have a good relationship, she’s one. I entered the company at six, she was about the same, she started walking in shows from a young age and excelled as a children’s clothing model at the time. Because our agent was the same, we practiced and lived together more than with others from childhood to adulthood."

"Entered the company at six, and stayed in the company half-working and studying?" Li Yang asked curiously.

"Yes, the company supported my studies."

Mu Qiu couldn’t help but ask: "Six, that’s too young, how did your parents agree?"

"There was no parental agreement," he still maintained the expressionless look, "I’m an orphan."

"Ah?"

Everyone was shocked.

He didn’t seem to care much and continued speaking: "I’m an orphan, grew up in a welfare institution from birth, and when I was six, several volunteers saw me looking cute. They originally intended to contact someone to adopt me but due to a mix-up between the welfare institution and those volunteers, I was taken to a children’s clothing brand’s fashion show site, and there happened to be a modeling company recruiting there.

They said I kept staring at the kids on stage, and a manager from the modeling company took a liking to me, asked if I wanted to learn, I said yes. Then the manager adopted me, although the manager was very busy, those volunteer sisters began to voluntarily take care of part of my life.

My food, clothing, studies, books, even my snacks. Before age six I didn’t have snacks, after six couldn’t have much, they often bought me snacks and sent them over. When I was nearly ten, one of the sisters died in a car accident..."

At this point, he leaned back on the sofa gazing at the night sky, pursed his lips for a while before continuing.

"She entrusted the responsibility of caring for me to her sister, who later became my first assistant. They helped find children’s clothing brands suitable for me along with the company, drove me to the practice room to train my catwalk, consoled me when I didn’t want to practice daily, tutored my homework, cut my fashion show videos to spread online... Eventually, my fan club was formed, though there were few people, just them few, plus their classmates, family.

Everyone says my fans pass down from generation to generation, sisters to brothers and sisters, students to juniors, until more and more fans, until I grew up, no longer needing help, walked in major domestic shows, then transitioned to commonly seen fans now. Up to now, half of my fans are still the families, friends, classmates of people who once helped me.

There’s also the online saying that my fans love buying me snacks because the earlier sisters thought I didn’t have snacks in childhood, always secretly bought snacks for me behind the manager’s back, later maybe when passed down, this habit was passed along, so now fans still love buying me snacks. When denied, they share snacks with my assistant asking for help to buy, even after changing assistants, never changed."

A voice devoid of fluctuation told a plain story, yet it was greatly choking and uncomfortable.

Despite being on the show for so long, he never talked about these, fans never exploited sympathy, audience discussion of him never involved this aspect, everyone’s assumptions aligned with him being like other models.

Unexpectedly the joke fans made about "passing down generations" was actually such a story.

Guan Yu shoved some makeup cotton pads to him: "Out of paper, make do."

Shi Yuhuai: "..."

The emotions from just now vanished without a trace.

Mu Qiu held back the discomfort, joked: "Turns out Brother Huai is raised by fans, fans raised a 1.9-meter BJD doll, speaking of which, Brother Huai really has the most mom fans."

Shi Yuhuai wiped the corner of his eyes, naturally focused on the wrong point: "I know what BJD is, they had my assistant buy one for me."

[I still remember that BJD doll, it was discussed by us fans for a long time before deciding, assistant bought according to the link, cost two thousand three hundred eighty-eight yuan, Brother Huai even scorned it saying how can guys play with girls’ Barbie dolls hahahaha]

[When the peach meat ice tower ice cream was new, it was us who told the assistant to buy it]

[I took over Brother Huai’s BJD doll from my sister/dog head]

[Lian Yi is mostly mom fans, oh no, after eighteen most fans rebelled into girlfriend fans]

[We’re happy to see his growth, cheering his transformation]

[Damn it made me cry listening]

[Oh my god Brother Huai is an orphan? Just casually chatting reveals such shocking news?]

[Isn’t this a comedy show, why does it feel so sad]

[Because he’s raised by fans, that’s why when he’s on the show, we’re more worried]

[Many sisters back then are now mothers, returned to family life, but still often watch Brother Huai’s shows]

[My sister who’s already a mom has a Brother Huai album, every show photo from childhood to now, my nephew doesn’t have one...]

[Alright stop talking, tears are about to smash through the floor]

[Since young he didn’t like to talk or make friends, fans once racked brains over this issue, even helped resolve his conflicts with kids, including Lin Banyan back then/my dear touching.jpg]

[Damn, tears like rain]
