Who taught you to be a celebrity like this?

Before returning to her room, Li Xiran hesitated for a long time before finally asking the question that had been weighing on her mind: "Brother, are you alright?"

Li Xiran had witnessed the online harassment targeting Li Ye during this period and had even clashed with Li Ye's haters.

Those people are completely unreasonable, so she can never win an argument with them and always gets so angry that she goes crazy.

"It's nothing, it's just online opinion, it hasn't affected my life."

Li Ye smiled and waved to her, "It's almost midnight, go back to sleep."

"All right."

Li Xiran obediently returned to her room, but tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

Because she knew that her brother was really unhappy this time; even though her face was so close, he didn't reach out to pinch her cheek.

After washing the dishes, Li Ye returned to his room and glanced at his phone; it was already past midnight.

But to this day, there has been no news from Liu Chun.

Li Ye wasn't stupid; he naturally knew that Liu Chun was using him, and the previous recording of "Celebrity's Daily Life" wasn't a misunderstanding.

He was genuinely saddened.

After all, Liu Chun was the only friend he didn't push away.

During that time, he did indeed feel a kind of elder brother-like warmth from Liu Chun.

Li Ye stared blankly at his phone screen. Just then, he finally saw the name Liu Chun appear in the message bar.

[Ah Ye, I'm sorry. This is my first time livestreaming in front of so many people, I was a little nervous and spoke without thinking. I didn't expect it to cause such a big reaction.]

Li Ye stared at the message in silence, without replying.

Although he knew he had long since lost Liu Chun as a friend, this explanation still disappointed him somewhat.

A while later, Liu Chun sent another message.

Your fans have misunderstood me; many people are criticizing me. Could you please help clarify this for me?

For some reason, seeing this message made Li Ye feel completely relaxed.

[Brother Chun, thank you for not letting me push you away before.]

After sending that message, Li Ye added a grinning emoji and deleted Liu Chun from his friend list without hesitation.

He put down his phone, just as he was about to go to sleep, when a wave of dizziness hit his head, and that familiar feeling returned.

[Friend, I'll be your friend for a second]

Friend, I'll be your friend for life.

Strange past, too painful to recall.

There is still time to reminisce.

Friend, have you tried to rescue me?

Best Friend

As the song ended, Li Ye's mood returned to a calm state.

For him, having already accepted the fact that he had lost a friend, there was no need to be distressed about it anymore.

Of course, I'm still happy; I've gotten another great song.

But there's something even more important right now: he needs to go to the dream space and finally get his hands on "Light," which he's been working on for so long!

The following morning, Li Ye and his family sat neatly on the sofa in the living room for the first meeting of the Wildfire Studio.

Influenced by the atmosphere, Li Xiran, who was pouring tea and serving water to the side, also had a tense face, as if she were attending some kind of conference.

Li Chengsong, who was feeling uneasy, coughed twice, just about to speak up to ease the overly serious atmosphere.

"Now you've been labeled as a 'resource-backed' person online, which has fueled those previous comments that you made your fortune through marketing."

Ding Yan crossed her arms and said sternly, "These were originally just baseless rumors, but because of Liu Chun, the impact has escalated to a whole new level. How do you plan to handle this?"

"It's good that you've explained it clearly. The uncle isn't an ordinary person. Netizens know his name, so they can find out the truth quickly."

Seeing Ding Yan's expression grow increasingly cold, Li Ye quickly added, "I've already deleted Liu Chun's WeChat. From now on, we're strangers."

Ding Yan's expression softened slightly. Li Ye thought for a moment and then said seriously, "Auntie, Liu Chun did help me before. This time, it's enough to explain things clearly. There's no need to mention him."

"At that time, only Liu Chun was with A Ye." Li Chengsong was afraid that Ding Yan would lose her temper, but he still spoke up to persuade her.

Ding Yan didn't dwell on the issue too much. Li Ye wasn't a child anymore and had his own judgment, so she nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it that way then."

Realizing the meeting was about to end before it even started, Li Xiran asked, bewildered, "N-that's it?"

"What, do you have any suggestions?" Ding Yan glanced at her.

Li Xiran immediately fell silent, shaking her head like a rattle-drum.

The most damaging public opinion against Li Ye was concerning his creative work.

However, with the current robust copyright protection system, Li Ye's songs are never handled by others. He first entrusts Ding Yan to register the copyright, and then hands it over to Zhang Xiaoqi's team for arrangement.

There was absolutely no opportunity for outsiders to exploit the situation, and no one was foolish enough to fabricate false evidence to frame Li Ye for writing on behalf of someone else.

So when Li Ye's new album is released, all doubts will disappear, and there's nothing to worry about.

The reason Ding Yan held this "meeting" so seriously was that she mainly wanted to ascertain Li Ye's attitude towards Liu Chun.

"Oh, by the way, I had an appointment with Teacher Zhang this afternoon to arrange the music for my new song. I'll release it as soon as it's recorded. The online reaction should be..."

As Li Ye was speaking, his phone suddenly rang; it was Zhong Manyue.

He got up, went back to his room, and answered the phone.

"Junior, things don't seem to be going well for you lately!"

Zhong Manyue's voice sounded very soothing. Li Ye smiled and said, "I'm alright. What's up, senior?"

"I heard you declined Professor Lin's invitation?"

"Huh? How did you know?"

Li Ye recalled that Lin Boran had invited him to participate in the recording of "Happy Sunday" a couple of days ago, but he wasn't too keen on this kind of indoor entertainment program and declined.

"Because I'm here as a persuader! Go ahead, please, just keep me company."

Li Ye was unaware that Zhong Manyue would also be going, and he hesitated.

Chung Manyue added, "Professor Lin is a very kind person. He wanted to help you clarify some online rumors. Also, I originally planned to post on Weibo about the behind-the-scenes story of 'Fiber,' but after Professor Lin invited me, I felt it would be better to save it for the show, so I didn't come out to explain immediately. I'm sorry!"

"You've already posted on Weibo to support me, so has the teacher agreed?"

Not only Zhong Manyue, but also the three guests from the summer, including Wang Haoyang, posted on Weibo to support Li Ye.

Even Lin Boran and Fang Yu, who had only known each other for a short time and had no business dealings with each other, expressed their opinions on Li Ye.

Their public support for Li Ye helped solidify his public image, but it also led to attacks from some anti-fans.

"Of course I agree! What do you mean, are you going or not? If you're not going, I'll have the teacher come and invite you personally."

"no problem."

Li Ye had been wondering why Lin Boran had suddenly invited him to the show, but now he realized that Lin Boran's invitation was actually to help him, and he felt a little guilty.

As we all know, "Happy Sunday" is a national-level variety show that never worries about ratings.

Li Ye also realized that he had unknowingly gained a lot of friends.
