Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore

Chapter 402: Official Announcement from the Girlfriend’s POV—Xiao He’s Fake Bromance

The car slowly drove into the residential complex. Xiao He turned his head and, sure enough, saw the car that had been following them stopped at the entrance.

Xiao He finally let out a long sigh of relief.

”Itʼs probably because the recent ʼCorner Alsoʼ has attracted a large batch of new fans. Most of their perception of you is still stuck in Yin Qiʼs early-stage persona, and youʼve been deliberately restoring that ʼYin Qiʼ character image during your recent public appearances. So, compared to the ʼaweʼ from longtime fans, they feel more of a sisterly or motherly type of possessiveness towards you.”

Liu Rulan analyzed rationally.

Xiao He now got a headache whenever he heard ”sister” or ”mommy,” and it even reminded him of that feeling of despair when a male fan called him ”hubby” at a previous event.

As an artist, he was essentially a product, marketing himself to the public, so naturally, he had to respect these peopleʼs preferences.

But that wasnʼt a reason for them to push their luck, follow artists around, or even pry into othersʼ privacy.

”Well, Iʼm just so grateful for that.”

Xiao He said weakly as he got out of the car and returned to his residence.

”Thereʼs no helping it. ʼCorner Alsoʼ skews towards a younger demographic, and the Yin Qi character is more likely to attract fans compared to other personas. Havenʼt you noticed many different voices gradually appearing in your recent comment sections?”
Xiao He: ”...I took a look, but some of it was hard to keep my eyes open for.”

Girls several years younger than him affectionately calling themselves ”Mommy” online, while he, as the ”good baby,” was powerless to resist.

”Hold on a second.”

Liu Rulan seemed to have a new development on her end and temporarily hung up the phone. Xiao He also opened his tablet to check the current related hashtags online.

[Who ran into Xiao He playing basketball? Oh, it was me, hehe. [video]]

[？？？ Jealousy is twisting me into knots.]

[Hehe, my boyfriend saw him playing too, and he even specially got Xiao Heʼs autograph for me~ [signed basketball photo]]

[Hey, person above, somethingʼs off with your boyfriend! Why did he have Xiao He sign a basketball? Are you sure he got it specifically for you? And not because he, a male fan, wanted to collect it himself?]

[Oi, your boyfriend definitely has issues. I suggest sending him to me for inspection.]

[? Do you want the boyfriend or the basketball?]

[？？？]

[Pfft, who doesnʼt have one? Iʼve already checked in with the girlfriend perspective, directly announced it on my Moments, bless me! [nine-square-grid photos]]

It has to be said, this netizen who checked in with the girlfriend perspective was truly talented. She directly took photos of netizens running into Xiao He playing basketball, then took a photo of herself making a heart gesture next to the court. Through various photo splicing, she created a nine-square-grid set of photos portraying ”girlfriend sweetly accompanying her boyfriend playing ball,” posted it to her Moments with sweet captions, and officially announced her ”boyfriend.”

The funniest part was, the photos she posted on her Moments actually had people believing it. Elders in her family directly called to ask who her boyfriend was, and many friends left comments wishing them ”99” (forever).

Said netizen: ...Next time, Iʼm never doing abstract stuff like this again! (Yeah, right!)

[Why! Why! Why! Is everyone running into Brother Xiao? A ten-year longtime fan is crying to death in a corner.]

[Ten-year longtime fan? Has Xiao He been in the industry that long? He should have still been in middle school back then?]

[...Go play somewhere else.]

[Damn, am I the only one repeatedly watching those three-pointers Xiao He made? So handsome. How could he just casually sink shots from such a distance? Iʼm stunned.]

[It really was outrageous. I was there at the time. Whenever Xiao He took a shot, his accuracy was literally one hundred percent.]

[That exaggerated?]

[Not exaggerated at all. I was even telling the guys I was playing with at the time that someone on that other court had ridiculously high accuracy. I had no idea it was Xiao He back then.]

[Brother Xiao is just too handsome! Latest skill +1!]

[Who are the other guys playing with Xiao He? They look like theyʼre really good friends.]
