The cold stream was clear to the bottom, raindrops fell into the water, splashing.
Ming Jing squatted by the stream, smiling, âYou want to give me these two fish, right?â
Xiao Hoo nodded blankly, âYes, I want to give them to Fairy Sister.â
Ming Jing took the two yellow fish struggling violently in Xiao Hoots hands, and they suddenly calmed down in her hands.
Xiao Hoo was surprised and said, âEven the fish like Sister?â
Ming Jing untied the grass rope and released the two fish into the stream, âGo.â
Upon returning to the water, the fish swam energetically, splashing water all around like dragons entering the abyss.
âSister, why did you let them go? They were meant to be eaten.â Xiao Hoo said anxiously.
The two fish swam in a circle and returned to the shore, gathering at Ming Jingâs feet, looking up from the water with their empty eyes, shimmering with splashing raindrops.
Ming Jing laughed, âItâs fate that they met me, Iâll let them go to accumulate blessings for myself.â
Xiao Hoo stared blankly at her, feeling as if the girl at this moment was shining like gold, her eyebrows and eyes full of compassion and gentleness, like the goddess he and his grandma prayed to in the temple.
âSister, are you a goddess reincarnate?â
Ming Jing shook her head with a smile, âDonât blaspheme the Goddess.â âSister, look!â Xiao Hoo suddenly pointed to the stream.
More and more small fish gathered, forming a large school of fish, swimming enthusiastically towards Ming Jingâs feet.
The raindrops falling in the stream couldnât dampen the enthusiasm of the fish.
âThey all like Sister.â Xiao Hoo felt that this scene was very shocking; he had never seen so many fish gathered together before.
Yan Xu, standing nearby with a camera, recorded this scene.
Ming Jingâs slender, white fingers waved gently in the air, âGo.â
As the words fell, the school of fish dispersed instantly as if they understood.
Xiao Hoo widened his eyes, speechless, âSister, can you⦠command fish?â
Yan Xu also had a stunned look on his face.
Was this a supernatural event?
Ming Jing smiled, propped up her umbrella, and took Xiao Hooâs hand, âLetâs go, the rain is getting heavier.â
âWhereâs the fish?â Xiao Wenwen saw Ming Jing coming back empty-handed, âDidnât a kid give you two fish? Where did the fish go?â
She had been dreaming about eating meat or fish.
She had even thought about how to cook them: half steamed and half braised.
The more she thought about it, the more her mouth watered, and her stomach started rumbling.
Her eyes were fixed on Ming Jing.
Ming Jing closed her umbrella, brushed her dress, and said indifferently, âI set them free. â
She walked past Xiao Wenwen and entered the main room.
âSet them free?â Xiao Wenwen blocked Ming Jing, cutting off her way, sneering, âYou really know how to play the good person, setting them free? You think you are the Goddess? We havenât eaten meat for days, and you let the only fish we had go. Are you doing this on purpose?â
Ming Jing glanced at her coldly, and Xiao Wenwen telt a chill down her spine as she was stared at by those dark eyes. She wrapped her coat around herself, perhaps the wind had picked up.
âWhatâ¦what are you looking at me for? Did I say something wrong?â
Ming Jing glanced at her, smiled, and walked past her.
Xiao Wenwen hesitated, what did her smile mean?
âWhat do you mean?â Xiao Wenwen blocked Ming Jingâs path again, determined to get an explanation.
âMisfortune comes from the mouth, and thatâs all. Within a month, trouble will come. â
âMing Jing, come help me out.â Zou Jingyu emerged from the kitchen, waving at Ming Jing.
Ming Jing stepped over Xiao Wenwen and walked out the door.Xiao Wenwen stared at Ming Jingâs receding figure in the rain, and for some reason, she suddenly shuddered.
âPutting on airs,â she muttered.
She tightened her coat, smirked, and looked up to see Qu Feitai coming down the stairs.
Did he see everything just now?
Xiao Wenwen immediately plastered a smile on her face and greeted him cheerfully, âBrother Feitaiâ¦!â
Qu Feitai coldly nodded without even glancing at her and went straight to the kitchen.
Xiao Wenwen felt a little stifled. She had gotten up late that morning and heard that Ming Jing had gone out with Qu Feitai. They spent more than two hours outside, and she had no idea what they had been up to.
Was Qu Feitai blind? Why was he spending so much time with Ming Jing, a newcomer? Did he forget that he was a top singer?
Imagine if your die-hard fans saw thisâ¦
Xiao Wenwenâs eyes darted about, and she logged on Weibo with her phone. Qu Feitai had made it onto the hot search list that morning and was still up there.
Although the show had not announced its guests yet, the official Weibo account and other guests had followed her, prompting many old fans to deduce that she was a new guest on the show.
Although she was a newcomer, she had starred in two online series, which had achieved decent ratings, and she had almost a million fans.
Her latest Weibo post was a selfie, which had just over a thousand comments. Apart from a few genuine fans, the rest were bought by the company to inflate her popularity, commonly known as âwater army.â
When she opened the comments, they were filled with typical water army sentiments like âSister, youâre so beautifulâ¦â and âSister, kill meâ¦â
After finding the perfect angle, Xiao Wenwen finally took a selfie she was satisfied with. Her pouted lips gave her a somewhat aggrieved look. She slightly retouched the photo and posted it on Weibo.
The caption read: Your brother is being seduced by a white lotus. I canât compete. [Grievance]
She didnât care one bit about the storm her Weibo post might provoke. If Ming Jing was going to upset her, then she would make sure Ming Jing wasnât happy either.
Youâre acting like such a white lotus. Let Qu Feitaiâs die-hard fans teach you a lesson on how to be a real person!
As for offending Ming Jing, who cares? Her backer was no pushover either.
As expected, this Weibo post immediately attracted the attention of the showâs fans. The show had high expectations on various platforms since it featured Qu Feitai. When fans saw Xiao Wenwenâs post, they eagerly took it to various forums and ignited a debate.
Could this âwhite lotusâ be the newcomer who is on the show with Qu Feitai?
Since Xiao Wenwen openly posted that insinuation in her Weibo, this must be a high-ranking white lotus!
The âbrotherâ Xiao Wenwen mentioned must be Qu Feitai, right?
Damn, the one thing fans dreaded most has happened. Their pure and innocent brother must have been seduced by the bewitching newcomer.
The show hadnât even started, and the fans were already at each otherâs throats.
Qu Feitaiâs most famous fan, @XiaoFei_early_tonight, posted on Weibo to calm the fans, urging them not to act impulsively and be used by others. Her words carried a lot of weight in the fan community and succeeded in stabilizing the fans. However, with a fan base so large, the younger fans werenât as rational. They frantically searched for more information about the newcomer, worried that she would seduce their precious brother and taint his purity.
Since the show had not officially announced the guests yet, no one knew who the newcomer was, except for a few vague hints dropped by Lu Xinyu. The fans let out their rage without knowing who to target.
At least they stirred up interest in the show.
The fans were on high alert. This newcomer seemed formidable. She was already slyly playing up a romance with Qu Feitai before the show even aired. Once the show aired and the water army joined in, what then? It would be unbearable!
The fans were on standby, waiting to unmask the newcomer and criticize her so harshly that she would have to completely reinvent herself. They wanted her to understand one thing â anyoneâs popularity could be leached on, except Qu Feitaiâs.
When Huang Chao saw all this, he nearly had a heart attack.
Itâs already starting to heat up now. My goodness, this newcomerâs team is very clever. Their momentum is fierce.
Of course, he couldnât afford to fall behind. After so many years, Qu Feitai had managed to stay scandal-free and avoid any affairs. All of Huang Chaoâs skills were lying dormant but, finally, his time had come!
Heâd show whatever monsters and freaks who they were dealing with!
Huang Chao immediately called Tian Long and asked what was going on. Tian Long stammered, âBrother Huang, I donât know how to say it. I have a feelingâ¦
that Xiao Fei has unusual feelings for this newcomerâ¦â.
âWhat?â Huang Chao covered his heart, unable to cope.
It wasnât the newcomer stirring up trouble, but Qu Feitai inviting it himself?
Thinking of that ethereal silhouette, Huang Chao thought it was normal for Xiao Fei to fall for her. However, remembering the arrogant man who threw his business card, Huang Chao was filled with regret.
He had taken this variety show for Xiao Fei at the risk of offending the leaders of the TV station, essentially trading a watermelon for a sesame seed.
When Liang Xiaohong saw the online situation, she couldnât help but join in, ready to curse to her heartâs content.
Under her instigation, the newcomerâs fame was quickly turning from black to red before even making her debut..
