Who taught you to be a celebrity like this?

"Ah Ye, if there's anything I can help with, just say so," Zhang Hai, in the passenger seat, still looked worried.

Cyberbullying is terrifying, thankfully it wasn't... thankfully Li Ye has a strong enough tolerance.

Zhang Hai put himself in Li Ye's shoes. He could grit his teeth and get through other things, but being slandered was the main problem, and the thought of it made him feel incredibly wronged.

"How can you help?"

Yan Tao, who was driving, glanced at Zhang Hai and then suggested to Li Ye, "I see that there are people who support you. Why don't you post a Weibo response? Maybe things will improve."

"Everything that needed to be said has been said, there's nothing more to say."

Li Ye shook his head. He had anticipated what would happen before posting this Weibo. Although the controversy was much greater than he expected, he was only seeking peace of mind, not understanding.

Say whatever you want. If this incident causes fans to stop coming to record shows or anything like that, that would be great.

"Don't underestimate the power of public opinion. I often hear my wife say that celebrities all have rivals. They definitely won't let this opportunity pass them by. They'll try to make you look like a villain, and you won't be able to clear your name even if you jump into the Yellow River."

Yan Tao racked his brains to give Li Ye some advice: "Have that 'Starry Sky' thing do its work, and then go to the mountains to do some..."

"Hey! I won't tell you, I won't tell you."

Li Ye quickly interrupted, knowing that both of them were concerned about him, but concern can lead to confusion.

He could only emphasize, "Brothers, you really don't need to worry about me. Do you even know how I make a living?"

"Looks!" Zhang Hai answered quickly.

Yan Tao carefully considered the biggest factor behind Li Ye's sudden rise to fame: "Your temperament is more vibrant than other artists."

That's what people say online; Li Ye seems very free and wild, and so on.

"What the heck?!"

Li Ye was both amused and exasperated. Then, regardless of whether the two people in front of him could see him or not, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Talent? I've always made a living through my talent. My album is halfway done; just wait for the day I release it!"

He was just making a joke, but Yan Tao and Zhang Hai both realized what he meant after hearing it.

Zhang Hai was so excited that his face turned a dark red: "This is called 'building suspense before building positivity,' right? It's like showing off and then getting slapped in the face—that's how it's written in online novels!"

Li Ye couldn't help but chuckle, never expecting that Hai Ge, a rough and uncultured man, would like online novels.

He originally planned to record "Tourbillon" after this surfing trip and release it as a single.

Let's bring this Weibo post to a perfect close.

However, seeing how heated the online debate is now, he has temporarily abandoned the idea.

I'm not trying to pull off some big surprise, but those comments—whether from fans turning against their idols, trolls, or rival groups' paid trolls—are actually quite accurate in one respect:

His exposure in such a short period of time was really too high.

The online public opinion did not affect Li Ye, but it was too noisy.

Around four or five in the afternoon, Li Ye wrapped a waterproof bandage around the abrasion on his stomach. He looked at the yellow facekini that Li Xiran had given him in his suitcase, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to wear it to avoid being recognized.

Let's go surfing!

"No, Hai-ge, why are you acting like Guan Yu?"

Li Ye and Zhang Hai met at the hotel entrance. When Li Ye saw Zhang Hai's appearance, he almost lost his composure.

Zhang Hai had smeared red sunscreen mud on most of his face; his skin was already dark, but now it appeared reddish-black.

"You're not much better off than me."

Zhang Hai looked at Li Ye, who was completely covered up except for his eyes, nose, and mouth, and said, "You look like a ridiculous, clumsy thief."

So, the clumsy thief and Guan Yu walked to the beach not far from the hotel.

The sky was overcast, clearly affected by the typhoon, and the waves looked much stronger and more powerful than in the morning.

However, there were still quite a few tourists on the beach, as well as many surfers who came to experience the typhoon waves.

Fortunately, Li Ye and Zhang Hai came prepared, attracting a lot of attention along the way, but no one recognized them.

"What are you shy about? Nobody knows who you are."

At this moment, Li Ye realized that his entire face was covered, so what was there to be afraid of? He became more and more at ease.

He even had the audacity to raise his chin at tourists who were making eye contact with him, adopting a cocky attitude that made others quickly look away, afraid to look at him.

Compared to Li Ye's ease, Zhang Hai was still hesitant and not very relaxed.

Li Ye laughed and put his arm around Zhang Hai's shoulder, turning his back to the sea and holding up his phone: "Come on, smile!"

Zhang Hai wanted to refuse, but when Li Ye pressed the shutter button, he still managed a smile.

Li Ye quickly snapped several photos, then randomly selected one to post on his WeChat Moments: "[A happy day for a wanderer~]"

He was telling those who cared about him that he was doing well.

Li Ye stuffed his phone into his waterproof arm bag, then grabbed his surfboard and eagerly ran towards the sea.

"The waves are already affected by the typhoon, so take it easy, kid!" Zhang Hai shouted as he chased after him.

As they paddled to the wave spot, many surfers were drawn to the uniquely styled Li Ye and Zhang Hai.

Li Ye ignored the stares and focused intently on observing the wave pattern.

The waves are very strong right now, with frequent waves exceeding two meters in height, but they are unstable and some will dissipate quickly.

As the waves crashed in, Li Ye dove down to cross them, choosing to continue paddling and traversing the wave zone where most of the surfers were, with Zhang Hai close behind.

The waves ahead will be rougher and bigger, but relatively more stable.

The two of them looked like experts.

Some of the ronin who noticed this scene even sat down on the board, intending to see if these two were truly skilled or just overestimating themselves.

Why aren't they arresting them?

The ronin waiting to see the performance were somewhat disappointed when they saw Li Ye and Zhang Hai standing a dozen seconds away, completely unmoved by a good wave.

However, just a few seconds later, what they considered a positive trend began to dissipate rapidly.

They didn't feel embarrassed at all; on the contrary, they were quite excited. It seemed they were truly experts!

At this moment, Zhang Hai, who was on the same horizontal line as Li Ye, noticed that the wave in front of him was a deeper color and had an inward concave arc.

This is a tube wave!

Zhang Hai was both pleasantly surprised and worried. He planned to leave this wave to Li Ye, who was in a better position.

But could Li Ye observe that?

Even if Zhang Hai had warned him, Li Ye wouldn't have been able to catch the wave if he hadn't been prepared.

Li Ye could certainly observe that the person had become excited and extremely focused.

With a smooth stroke and a quick start, Li Ye lowered his center of gravity, controlled his speed, and plunged headfirst into the tube waves!

In an instant, all that remained in his ears was the roar of the waves. The walls of water closed in from both sides, and Li Ye, in a horse stance, steadily controlled the wave board and its speed.

Without any danger or unexpected events, he successfully broke through the pipe wave!

The ronin sitting on the board, watching Li Ye shoot out of the pipe like a sharp arrow, were all dumbfounded.

Where did this expert come from?
