They don't actually think I like them, do they?

066. I'm sorry, Orange Brother!

After singing the entire song, Lin Han glanced at the mission progress.

　[2. Obtain 30000 Collapse Index points (56844/30000) using a new song - Completed]

Exceeding the target is considered a success.

Lin Han had a great time singing, but when he looked at the audience, the other people's reactions didn't seem very good.

Many female fans were already flushed with anger, their eyes filled with resentment as they looked at Lin Han. Clearly, those three minutes of rapping were extremely agonizing for them.

Honestly, Lin Han didn't feel sorry for her at all; on the contrary, he felt quite pleased with the scene.

These guys deserve to experience the pain of idol worship!

Singing a few love songs makes you a sentimental person; acting in a few BL dramas makes you fantasize that your idol is gay. You never use your brain when you're a fan. You always imagine your idol as the person you want to be and then indulge in your fantasies. Celebrities are just ordinary people. Why do you have to imagine them as perfect gods and use them as your spiritual sustenance?

Following celebrities like this will eventually ruin your brain.

The internet is now a mess, all caused by these self-indulgent fangirls.

However, they never expected that Lin Han was a fun-loving person from beginning to end, and they suffered an unprecedented Waterloo in their pursuit of Orange Jam!

However, Lin Han's actions also hurt many friendly forces.

Hu Yan, backstage, was so frightened that her mind went blank. The entire control room was eerily silent.

Taozi, who had just spoken up for Lin Han, was now staring blankly, her eyes empty, seemingly unaware of what had happened... Mangzi, on the other hand, was laughing so hard she was doubled over, praising Lin Han for being so playful.

But that’s all.

The mission was complete, and Lin Han shrugged with relief.

He's only just started out, so he certainly wouldn't do anything to ruin his career.

He dared to take on such a big job because he was confident he could pull it off.

Seeing his fans already exhausted, Lin Han knew it was time to start the work of Nuwa patching up the sky.

"That new song I just sang was a bold attempt by me, to experience a completely new style," Lin Han said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the audience's blood pressure soared once again.

Is it just an "experience"?!

That song you just sang almost killed everyone!!

"While I was singing just now, I noticed a lot of discordant noises from the audience..."

Is it just that it's "not quite harmonious"?!

Everyone's pointing their fingers at you and testing your code, didn't you hear?!

The audience was muttering curses under their breath, but not a single person uttered a sound.

Because when Jam spoke up, it meant that he was finally willing to explain to everyone.

The audience was constantly criticizing her because they loved Orange Jam so much and were so disappointed in her, which is why they were so harsh. Now that Orange Jam is finally willing to explain, although everyone is still grumbling, they are genuinely hoping to get Orange Jam's response.

Facing tens of thousands of fervent gazes at the concert venue, Lin Han paused and said:

"What I want to say is that I'm a little sad."

???

The audience was completely dumbfounded. You were just singing so happily!

"I didn't expect that the lovely people here would have so little confidence in me. I thought that through so many songs, we had already reached a deep understanding and that nothing could affect our bond."

Lin Han looked at him tenderly and said emotionally,

"However, just now, many people started to doubt me because of a single photo. I thought that if I didn't rush to explain, these rumors would fall apart on their own, but instead, more and more people are saying it. I'm very sad!"

Upon hearing this, the entire audience was speechless.

What he said... seems to make some sense.

Seeing the heartthrob looking so dejected, some people have already started to feel sorry for him.

"What I want to explain to everyone is that Ms. Yan Yuli and I are classmates at the same school. She's my senior, and we've been good friends for a long time. The gift I gave her at that birthday party was a joke I played on her..."

As soon as Lin Han said this, the entire audience exclaimed, "So that's how it is!"

Yes, how could the author of "Confession Balloon" and "When You" be a perverted person with a twisted sense of humor who gives black stockings to their idol at their birthday party?

This is clearly a joke between good friends!

If this weren't a joke, Ms. Yuli would have been angry long ago, and there's no way she would be appearing at his concert now!

To satisfy the requirement of marmalade, which is not a joke but rather an obsessive requirement, there are two conditions.

First, Orange Jam is incredibly bold, daring to send off black stockings in front of a nationwide live broadcast.

Secondly, Yan Yuli is an oddball. Despite being given black stockings, she still gets along better and better with Ju Zi Jiang.

Is this even possible?!

That's obviously impossible!!

Why can't everyone have the patience to think about something so simple?

No wonder Orange Sauce said earlier that she felt sad about her fans; they really didn't give her enough trust!

Many female fans cried as they recalled their earlier actions.

"Brother Orange, I'm so sorry!!"

"I misunderstood you, sob sob..."

"Why didn't I give Brother Orange more time? Waaah!"

"......"

In just a few words, the entire audience at the concert began to apologize to Lin Han!

Lin Han put down the microphone and smiled.

That's the confidence that gave him the courage to sing "I Don't Want to Sleep"—he knows these people's nature all too well.

He told his fans, "What songs I sing has nothing to do with who I am."

Should we tell everyone to be rational when following celebrities and to understand ourselves as a whole?

Do not make jokes.

If this group of people could accept it, would they be like this?

They understand this principle all too well; they know better than anyone that their work should not be associated with their character's persona!

But what they want is just a little fantasy, a perfect persona they create in their own minds.

They have always preferred the "marmalade" they have imagined, and they never even consider that marmalade is just an ordinary person who poops.

Because that's the meaning of being a fan!

What Lin Han needs to do is definitely not to offer a weak and feeble explanation, definitely not to tell everyone to be rational when following celebrities, and certainly not to learn a lesson from everyone else.

Instead, he re-established his "perfect male god" persona, allowing everyone to continue to go crazy for him.

Even though Lin Han had just finished singing "I Don't Want to Sleep," he doesn't need to defend himself; his fans will cover for him.

Although the collapse of Orange Jam's image has caused severe psychological trauma to all of them, and made them suffer the pain of unrealistic idol worship.

It doesn't matter.

They never learn their lesson.

Because they're part of the fandom.

After Lin Han slaps them, he gives them a little treat, and they forget the slap and continue to like him.

The next time Lin Han's persona collapses again, and he continues to torment them, they will still throw tantrums like they did today. Then, Lin Han will still have plenty of ways to rebuild his image and keep driving them crazy...

"Brother Orange, please forgive us!!" In the front row of the concert, a group of fans shouted in unison to Lin Han.

067. Love Like a Tide

This unexpected change truly left Hu Yan, who was backstage, completely stunned.

She had just sent two staff members to call Lin Han down, and the whole scene had completely reversed in the next second!

Reporter Xiaoyu was stunned.

Three minutes ago, when Orange Jam finished singing "I'm Really Not Asleep," this is what she said to the camera:

"We've now moved to the right side of the concert hall, and sitting with us here are the fans behind me. Orange Sauce has just finished singing her new song. Although it's a pity that it didn't achieve the result that everyone was satisfied with, our fans, the 42,000 fans at the Jinchuan No. 1 Sports Center, have stayed with Orange Sauce until the very last second!"

As Xiaoyu spoke passionately, she handed the microphone to an excited fan in the front row.

"How dare you treat us like this?! Fuck your mother, give us our money back!!"

"So many people bought tickets, how can you treat us like this?! How can you treat us like this?! Refunds are needed!!"

"......"

However, now, listening to the whole audience chanting "Brother Orange, I'm sorry," Xiaoyu felt like she was in a magical realism world.

After holding it in for a while, Xiaoyu could only comment on the camera:

"Jujube Jam's concert is really unpredictable!"

Faced with the apologies from the audience, Lin Han didn't say anything, but instead made a gesture to quiet the entire room.

If you argue with your fans, you don't deserve to be a superstar.

Lin Han smiled slightly, and the concert continued!

As if to prove something to everyone, Lin Han immediately started with "When You" for his next song.

Then Yan Yuli went on stage a second time. After the series of amazing moves just now, Yan Yuli looked at Lin Han with a mixture of exasperation and amusement when she came on stage again.

No wonder he gave Yan Yuli the feeling that he was "very good at solving problems" from the first time they met. Even after all this time, he is still so good at playing tricks.

The two sang "When You" together.

Lin Han gazed at Yan Yuli and sang with deep emotion:

"When your eyes squint and you smile, when you drink cola, when you make a fuss~"

"I want to be good to you, but you never knew. Thinking of you, missing you, can become an addiction."

The entire venue was ignited once again, and everyone was back to their initial excitement.

Indeed, the most wonderful thing is when I hear the love song "Marmalade" and my mind stops wandering into strange thoughts!

"Ah~ this is the orange marmalade I like!"

"Brother Orange...hehehehe..."

"Orange God is the best in the world!!"

Hearing this, many viewers expressed how wonderful it would be if Orange Jam and Yan Yuli really got together!

In fact, although the fans are crazy, they are also smart enough to know that Yan Yuli and Ju Zi Jiang's duet is just a commercial collaboration.

No matter how much people ship them as a couple, nobody knows what their real relationship is like off-screen—whether they're just good friends or have developed feelings for each other.

At this moment, a message notification popped up in the background.

[Creating at least 5 trending topics on Weibo (5/5)]

[The following are trending topics: #JuZiJiang'sStunningLooks, #JuZiJiangAndYanYuLiPerformOnTheSameStage, #JuZiJiangGiveMeASongTime, #JuZiJiangTheScumbag, #JuZiJiangI'mSorry!]

Upon seeing this notification, Lin Han understood that the concert was nearing its end.

After singing "When You," Yan Yuli, the "tool person," had to leave the stage again.

However, just as Yan Yuli was about to walk down, Lin Han suddenly reached out and grabbed her, preventing her from leaving.

This one move instantly caused the entire audience to erupt in cheers.

"Oh~~" The audience sensed that something was about to happen, and the fans started to cheer.

Yan Yuli was completely bewildered; this part wasn't even in the rehearsal!

Lin Han calmly picked up the microphone and smiled slightly.
