HuaYu14: Female celebrities are going too fast.

As Tian Xiwei walked out of Xiaolan's residential compound, the evening breeze ruffled the hair on her forehead.

She lowered her head, her fingers flying across the screen as she typed the words, and after hesitating for less than two seconds, she pressed send.

After sending it, she stood under the streetlight and stared at the "sent" notification for a few seconds.

Then, feeling guilty, he stuffed his phone into his bag.

On the surface, she was quietly waiting for the bus, but her mind was actually on her phone in her bag.

She would take out her phone without hesitation at the slightest sound.

After a few minutes, the bag remained motionless, lifeless, like a dead object.

"They might not even watch it."

Tian Xiwei let out a long breath, telling herself not to have any expectations.

"It's just a private message, not adding someone on WeChat. How many private messages does someone receive in a day? How can they read every single one?"

The bus arrived, she boarded, her phone screen completely clean. By the time she reached the entrance of her residential compound, Tian Xiwei had given up hope.

"Never mind, it's a favor if they reply to you, it's their right not to."

"The reason I was able to reply to you last time was probably just because I happened to glance at it and replied casually."

Tian Xiwei said something to the air and swiped her card to enter the residential area.

She was in a good mood at first, but now, for some reason, she feels a sense of loss.

She lived on the sixth floor of an old residential building without an elevator. As she was climbing the stairs, her phone suddenly vibrated in her bag.

Tian Xiwei stopped in her tracks, standing at the corner between the third and fourth floors.

Feeling a little uneasy, she took her phone out of her bag, and saw a private message notification on Weibo at the top of the screen.

[Zhou Xun replied to you.]

She took a deep breath and opened the message.

Zhou Xun's reply was very brief: [Thank you, I believe you can too.]

Seeing Zhou Xun's reply, Tian Xiwei's previously somewhat sullen face immediately broke into two dimples, and she replied:

I will strive to become someone like you!

Zhou Xun was lying on the sofa watching "God of War" with Na Zha. When he saw Tian Xiwei replying to his private message, he smiled slightly and then ignored it.

"What are you laughing at?"

Naza, wearing a purple nightgown and a face mask, was lying in Zhou Xun's arms.

Due to the height, she was unable to see the contents of Zhou Xun's phone.

Zhou Xun looked down at the piercing eyes and the ample spring light inside the pajamas.

He held the phone screen up to Naza and casually said:

"I'm reading reviews of 'God of War'."

"What's so interesting about the comments?" Naza pouted. "They're all praising my acting skills; I'm tired of seeing them."

"Good acting skills..." Zhou Xun was amused by her self-praise: "Then take a look for yourself, isn't it all praise for you?"

Naza originally didn't want to watch, but out of love for Zhou Xun, she took the phone when he handed it to her.

I lazily scrolled through a few posts: [Lu Bu's gaze was absolutely brilliant; Zhou Xun's acting skills are seriously underestimated!]

"Praising you is praising me, isn't it?" Naza chuckled.

Zhou Xun reached out to pinch her cheek, but Na Zha slapped his hand away.

"Putting on a face mask!"

Zhou Xun had no choice but to reach his hand down and change the target of his pinching.

Naza let Zhou Xun's large hand go, ignoring him as he continued scrolling through the comments:

[The couple looking for a piece of trash have exceeded their sugar limit today. Where is my insulin?]

[Please, please do a second collaboration! A modern drama is fine! A horror movie is fine! Any kind of drama is fine!]

"Haha, Zhou Xun," Nazha laughed, "Someone actually wants us to film a ghost movie!"

"Will I play Nie Xiaoqian, and you play Ning Caichen?"

Zhou Xun looked at the stick and smiled.

Those slender fingers continued flipping up and down, then suddenly she frowned and sat up from Zhou Xun's arms.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Naza's reaction, Zhou Xun stopped pinching and withdrew his hand.

"Look!"

Naza handed the phone to Zhou Xun, pointing to a comment on it:

[To be honest, I initially watched it because of Lin Gengxing, but now all I can think about are Lü Bu and Diao Chan.]

[Lin Gou, I'm sorry, you're a good person.]

Below this comment, there are many comments about "supporting characters overshadowing the main characters," exaggerating as much as possible and showing a "the more the merrier" attitude.

After reading it, Zhou Xun realized the seriousness of the matter.

In "God of War", he was such a brilliant supporting character that he completely stole the spotlight from the main character.

As a newcomer to the entertainment industry, she stole the spotlight in her very first drama.

This is not a good sign.

"Zhou Xun".

Naza lay back in his arms, but this time she didn't close her eyes and spoke very softly.

"Um."

"What are you planning to do?"

Zhou Xun didn't speak, his fingers unconsciously tapping lightly on her shoulder.

Public opinion surrounding this matter has not yet fully taken hold and is still on the verge of being under control.

Lin Gengxing must be very unhappy, after all, he is the male lead in this drama.

He could proactively suppress the hype, since Zhou Xun doesn't really care about hype.

His purpose in entering the entertainment industry wasn't to become famous. Business was just a side effect, something that happened naturally.

Moreover, he has a long road ahead, and there will be plenty of opportunities after his popularity grows.

We cannot let momentary impulses create a bad public image and ruin the promising future.

This isn't about outdoing him; it's about two kings clashing!

Zhou Xun remembered that in his previous life, Meng Ziyi was ignored by the entire internet because of "stealing the spotlight from the main character".

However, public opinion is now focused on Zhou Xun, while Meng Ziyi's side has lost much of its momentum.

If you think about it, Zhou Xun actually helped Meng Ziyi indirectly, and she should thank him properly after joining the crew.

Seeing that Zhou Xun hadn't said anything, Nazha became a little anxious.

She sat up from Zhou Xun's arms, peeled off the face mask, and turned to face him.

Her expression was extremely serious; she was genuinely worried about Zhou Xun.

"Zhou Xun, I'm being serious. Lin Gengxing hasn't made any moves yet, but that doesn't mean he has no objections."

"Do you know how many fans he has? Tens of millions. You only have one million followers on Weibo. If a real fight breaks out, you won't be able to handle it."

"I know," Zhou Xun nodded.

Naza continued, "Although Sister Cai helped me with Tang Ren's side, you're not one of her subordinates after all."

"If something really happens, she might not even be able to say a few words in your defense."

As Naza spoke, she bit her lip, her eyes gradually welling up with tears, and a single tear slid down her cheek.

She felt a deep resentment now, realizing that Zhou Xun couldn't help at all when he was in danger.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun reached out and wiped the corner of her eye, comforting her:

"Why are you crying while you're talking?"

Naza broke free from Zhou Xun's grasp: "I'm talking to you about serious matters! Can't you be serious for once?"

Zhou Xun held the bundle in his arms and stroked her beautiful hair:

"I know you're worried about me, but I already have a plan."

"Really?" Naza looked up at Zhou Xun with her big, watery eyes.

"real!"

Seeing Zhou Xun's serious expression, which showed he wasn't joking, Na Zha relaxed his body and reached out to hug Zhou Xun tightly.

"Zhou Xun, do you think I'm really useless?"

Why would you say that?

"If something really happens to you, I can only watch from the sidelines and can't help you at all."

"How could that be?" Zhou Xun lifted that prickly chin. "You're my girlfriend!"

After Zhou Xun finished speaking, he kissed her and then picked her up in his arms.

Naza wrapped her arms around Zhou Xun's neck, looked into his eyes, and did not struggle.

"Zhou Xun must be under a lot of pressure right now. All I can do is help him relieve some of that pressure."

What followed was done with exceptional initiative and effort by Naza.

It seems that the more proactive and forceful one is, the more one can help Zhou Xun.
