After gender swapping, my best friend and I hardcore BL (Boys' Love) became top influencers.

This sudden action left Jiao Wangshu momentarily stunned, but because he was so familiar with Ling Tinglan, he instinctively cooperated.

The two people on the big screen, one cute and the other aloof, were so perfectly matched they seemed oblivious to the world around them.

This incredibly sweet moment made the CP fans in the audience swoon. By the time the fans realized what was happening, the entire venue was in an uproar. The fansite admins were constantly snapping photos, and if you felt the pressure, you could see the camera in their hands – the shutter was practically shooting sparks.

Of course, while some are happy, others are sad. The CP fans are thrilled, but at the same time, the solo fans who witnessed everything in the audience completely lost their composure.

Don't assume that Ling Tinglan and Jiao Wangshu won't have solo fans just because they've decided to build their careers by selling their CP (couple pairing). What's even more amazing is that sometimes the more deeply the two are bound to each other, the more fanatical their solo fans become. Many times, they even hate each other. It's hard to explain why this phenomenon occurs. Maybe it really is true that "solo fans only break down when it comes to their real sister-in-law."

"Aaaaaaahh ...

Excited screams and heart-wrenching shouts mingled together from below the stage. Standing on the stage, Ling Tinglan couldn't help but praise herself for her quick thinking when she saw the enthusiastic reaction from the audience. At the same time, she cast a smug look at Jiao Wangshu—it was still me.

Jiao Wangshu's lips twitched as she watched. She had to admit that straight men (or straight women?) were incredibly talented at selling BL (Boys' Love) content, even though she had shipped so many couples. She never expected Ling Tinglan to pull this off. It seemed that Ling Tinglan really had the potential to be a "top-tier BL enthusiast." She should have dragged him into this pit no matter what. These days, it's hard to find kindred spirits among those who share a similar taste.

At this moment, Xiang Wanwan was completely numb. She was Ling Tinglan's die-hard fan and dream girl! How could she possibly watch her "husband" being all lovey-dovey with some random man on stage? This scene drove her completely insane.

"Stop selling!!!"

"No more selling this!!!"

"That's my husband!!!"

So excited was she that she didn't even have time to pick up the support banner she had dropped. She could only stand there waving her arms and legs, trying to transform into the Queen Mother of the West and create a galaxy between them.

As luck would have it, because of her excitement, Jiao Wangshu, who was on stage with excellent 20/20 vision thanks to her contact lenses, spotted her at a glance. Even more coincidentally, Dai Xiaoqing, who was sitting obediently holding up her support banner, was sitting right next to her...

Wow, she's actually a fan of his!

Jiao Wangshu has always disliked those idols who don't cherish their fans. Asking them to be fans is like asking them to send a rocket into space. Now that it's his turn to be an idol, your brother Jiao will definitely be a fan today!

So he faced Xiang Wanwan, trying his best to adjust his expression, making sure that he was showing the most sincere, sweetest, and most beautiful smile of his life. Then he raised his hands and made all sorts of heart gestures, from finger hearts to butt hearts, half hearts, Cupid hearts, and giant hearts... He did his best to make a complete set of heart gestures.

Xiang Wanwan froze for a moment, then completely lost her temper after realizing that Jiao Wangshu was indeed sprinkling food on her. "What does he mean?"

"What exactly does this Jiao Wangshu mean?! He's just trying to provoke me, isn't he?! I will definitely kill him!!!"

"—You male vixen!!!"

Because the stage and the audience seats were far apart, and the trainees were all wearing in-ear monitors, Jiao Wangshu was destined not to hear this heart-wrenching accusation. He could only see the other person waving their hand faster and faster, making bigger and bigger movements, and muttering incessantly. It looked like their face was red with excitement.

She seems genuinely overjoyed. Why does she like him so much? Actually, he's not that great, hehe~(*^▽^*)~

"provocative!"

"That's pure provocation!"

Even if Xiang Wanwan glared so hard her eyes popped out, all she could manage to utter a dry, harsh remark, utterly helpless. Meanwhile, Dai Xiaoqing, standing to the side, was filled with resentment:

"I'm so envious of your luck with your idol! Why didn't my idol give me any food? Who wouldn't want to receive a hearty meal from Jiao Wangshu (a famous Chinese singer)?"

Xiang Wanwan glared at her angrily, "Do you want this good fortune or not?"

"I want it!!!"

Before Xiang Wanwan could even finish speaking, Dai Xiaoqing was already rushing to answer.

After being hit by a series of precise attacks from one person and one fan, even the most resilient person couldn't withstand it. Xiang Wanwan was so angry that she fainted. She said that she was just incompatible with this person named Jiao Wangshu in this life.

Jiao Wangshu, who had already secured the top spot on the "Ling Tinglan Dream Girl Assassination Ranking," was completely unaware of this. After campaigning for votes, she happily followed the others off the stage. Next up was Group B of "Neon Confession."

"Here it comes, here it comes."

Jiao Wangshu has a really good eye; she spotted Li Shu, who was stuck in the group, at a glance and pointed to him with her finger so that Ling Tinglan could not see him clearly.

Actually, it's not his fault. Group B went for a macaron-colored, childlike style, which was also a lot of gaudy colors. There weren't even any animal shapes to help identify them. At first glance, it would just be a pain in the eyes because of too many colors. The fact that Jiao Wangshu was able to recognize Li Shu is already thanks to Li Shu's refreshing and pure personal temperament, which allowed people to clearly see his facial features amidst all the colorfulness.

In addition, Li Shu's part is really short, with only one or two lines of lyrics in the transition parts. He only gets one second of solo screen time in the whole song. It's hard to say whether fans and casual viewers will be able to see his face clearly in the video when the official stage is released.

Of course, the result of Group B's performance was also obvious. One of them had experienced two "choose C" and "change C" incidents during rehearsals, and the atmosphere in the team was so strange that it could be played out for ten seasons of "Game of Thrones". Moreover, with Group A's excellent performance as a precedent, it is quite impressive that he could make the atmosphere on the spot so cold.

However, this farce is not over yet.

Whether he suddenly lost his mind or was affected by the cold atmosphere at the scene, Choi Sung-hyun actually cried on stage during the vote-soliciting segment. He cried and said how difficult it was for him, that some unpleasant things had happened in the team, and that he was in a lot of pain and pitiful... In short, he was just trying to gain sympathy.

Anyone who didn't know better would think that he was being bullied by the rest of the team.

The audience, who were initially uninterested in the stage, suddenly perked up when they heard there was some juicy gossip going on.

What grudge could he possibly hold against? He couldn't even hold back until the end of the performance, as if he was afraid of being edited out by the production team in post-production. He deliberately chose a place with more than a thousand people present to openly cause trouble.

Not only the audience at the scene, but also the other trainees in the same team were stunned. No one expected that the first to start causing trouble would not be Song Se-jun and Jeon Sang-hoon who were vying for the center position, but rather Choi Sung-hyun who was playing the fence-sitter.

Actually, he had already made up his mind. Since the stage was already so bad, Song Shijun and Quan Shangxun would definitely be criticized after the full episode aired. But he also thought that his own performance wasn't likable either. Rather than being criticized along with them and getting nothing in the end, he might as well take a gamble. He would tear off the fig leaf in advance and get some sympathy points.

So he started his performance on this stage.

This infuriated Song Shijun. Perhaps Cui Chengxian was subtly criticizing everyone, but Song Shijun had a guilty conscience and interpreted everything as a direct attack on him. He immediately stopped breathing, his intelligence vanished, and he snatched the microphone:

"I don't know what some people mean. I feel quite happy, and if I feel unhappy, I should look for the reasons within myself."

That wasn't the end of it. Song Shijun couldn't stand seeing Jeon Sang-hoon disappearing into the shadows again. This time, he was smarter. If they were going to die, they would die together. His next sentence brought Jeon Sang-hoon into the picture: "If we're talking about unpleasant things, Jeon Sang-hoon probably has a deeper understanding of them."

Jeon Sang-hoon, who was called out by name to his face, still maintained his smile, but his clenched fists revealed the turmoil in his heart.

"That's exciting..."

Xiang Wanwan, watching the drama unfold in the audience, couldn't help but exclaim, "What do you mean by 'boy group studies'? This is what 'boy group studies' is all about! They haven't even debuted yet and they're already causing so much trouble. No wonder they're from South Korea. This is even more melodramatic than a Korean drama. Tsk tsk."

Fearing they might say something even more outrageous on stage, the production team quickly instructed them to mute their microphones and cut to a wide shot. At the same time, several staff members came up and herded the group off the stage like chickens. When they left, the on-site votes for this group hadn't even been tallied yet.
