In just a few days, Shao Heng became popular, and Wan Tong also rode on his popularity. Both fans and onlookers wanted to learn about Shao Heng’s updates from her. Some even asked if she was dating Shao Heng.
With a four-year age difference, the sexy internet celebrity anchor and the talented young artist, can this couple still continue?
Wan Tong shattered everyone’s illusions with a single Weibo post.
@Gu_Wantong : [He’s just a little brother. 😊]
The fans’ responses were in unison : [Waiting for Tongtong to eat her words.]
Not long after, Shao Heng, who had remained silent, also posted on Weibo : [I am an orphan.]
As soon as Wan Tong saw his post, she ran out of her room.
It was already late at night, and the living room lights were off. Shao Heng lay on the couch, with only the faint glow of his phone illuminating his distinct profile.
“Shao Heng, what did you post on Weibo? Delete it quickly!” Wan Tong jumped onto the couch.
—Boss, you’re only eighteen now! Is this the time to flirt? You’re setting a bad example!
She wanted to grab Shao Heng’s phone, but his long legs tripped her.
“Ah!” Wan Tong exclaimed and fell onto Shao Heng.
Shao Heng was also startled, afraid she might hit the edges, so he reached out and embraced her as she fell. Her soft and fragrant body filled his arms.
Although it wasn’t like the cheesy scenes in TV dramas, the sudden intimacy left Shao Heng in a daze.
It felt like… he had experienced a similar scene in a dream…
The next moment, Shao Heng’s blood boiled, and like a startled bird, he released Wan Tong, leaped over the couch, and turned on the living room lights.
“What are you doing?” His blood rushed to his head, making his face flush to the ears.
“Well, it was just an accident…” Wan Tong sat dumbfounded on the couch, feeling a bit embarrassed. But Shao Heng’s escape just now was too quick, and now he looked like he had been taken advantage of, which she found rather cute.
“Your Weibo post earlier was not a good idea; it might make people misunderstand.”
“I was telling the truth; I don’t have an elder sister.” After calming down, Shao Heng realized he might have overreacted earlier.
Seeing him like this, Wan Tong thought that it might be due to the psychological trauma left by Li Zhi, so she quickly changed her tune. “Then, you can call me ‘Aunt,’ I can accept it.”
Shao Heng : “…”
His dark eyes widened, and he ground his molars.
He sat back down on the sofa, feeling the heat on his cheeks subsiding, and his expression relaxed somewhat. However, it felt like there was a lump in his chest, making him uncomfortable. “I’m tired. I want to sleep,” he said.
Wan Tong felt like he was throwing a tantrum, probably because of Li Zhi. So she asked, “What about Li Zhi? How do you want to handle it?”
She had also been helping him investigate his parents’ situation from five years ago. She suspected that Li Zhi had interfered, leading to the death of his parents. However, the drunk driver responsible for the accident had been released from prison a year ago and had even left the country. She still hadn’t found any leads. Moreover, there was nothing suspicious on Li Zhi’s side.
Now, everyone’s attention was on Li Xutian, and the ruthless Li Zhi was being overlooked. She could redirect public opinion toward Li Zhi, but she didn’t know what the boss thought of Li Zhi now, especially since they had lived together for five years.
In the warm yellow light, Shao Heng’s features became even more striking, devoid of any youthfulness. His voice was deep and serious as he said, “Wait a little longer. I need to confirm some things.”
Wan Tong looked at his slightly clenched hand and patted his shoulder, saying, “Alright, A’Heng, how about we buy you a bed tomorrow, and you can sleep in the spare room from now on?”
Shao Heng was momentarily stunned, then he looked at her and asked, “Isn’t that room for your precious products?”
Wan Tong playfully winked and tossed her long hair, saying, “You’re my precious one.”
She had intended it as a joke, but little did she know that Shao Heng couldn’t handle it and moved away in fear.
Wan Tong : “…” He seemed like a typical straight guy, but he was also attentive and considerate.
His reaction right now was really… discouraging.
After all, she was the sexiest internet celebrity voted by netizens, and there were hardly any in the entertainment industry who could match her allure.
Yet he always got scared by her and avoided her…
Wan Tong shook her head and got up to return to her room.
Shao Heng watched her seductive figure disappear and felt his breath gradually returning. His heart was about to jump out of his throat, and images of what had just happened kept floating in his mind.
Snow-white skin, red lips, and captivating eyes.
He felt like he was going crazy.
In that moment just now, he wanted to turn into a wolf, pounce on her, carry her away, and devour her.
This was not normal.
Shao Heng continued to stay in Wan Tong’s spare room, but most of the time, he wasn’t around during the day. When he returned at night, he stayed in his room, and Wan Tong wondered if he was avoiding her.
Some international art associations approached Shao Heng to confirm which of Li Xutian’s artworks are Shao Heng’s.
Explosive news spread on the internet that all of Li Xutian’s publicly exhibited works in the past three years were actually created by Shao Heng. Even his first solo exhibition after returning to China featured Shao Heng’s works. This is quite ironic.
However, Shao Heng did not reclaim the paintings or change the attribution since those paintings no longer belonged to him. Some internet users, in a sarcastic tone, pointed out that although Li Xutian was in the wrong, Shao Heng wasn’t exactly blameless either. He sold the artworks and indirectly brought down Li Xutian, benefiting from Li XUtian’s fame in the process.
Shao Heng remained silent, perhaps not paying attention to online discussions. Wan Tong couldn’t hold back and secretly defended him online, shifting the focus onto Li Zhi.
In a way, Shao Heng was betrayed by Li Zhi, and there was even video evidence of this. Therefore, netizens didn’t let themselves be manipulated and started investigating Li Zhi instead. She acted as Shao Heng’s guardian but privately conspired against him, which seemed rather unethical.
Having a sister like Li Zhi was unfortunate for Shao Heng. Everything he’s doing now is essentially a form of resistance. Subsequent rumors about Li Zhi continued to spread, and when netizens found out that she was the one who leaked Wan Tong’s address, leading to male fans invading Wan Tong’s home, they were all shocked.
No wonder Wan Tong had to move. Who would want such a person as their neighbor?
Little Brother Shao Heng is so pitiful…
After Li Zhi’s information was exposed, the café fired her.
Although she is not short money, facing the public’s harsh criticism made her uncomfortable.
During Wan Tong’s live stream, she noticed an influx of internet trolls with offensive comments. She had experienced this kind of thing before and casually glanced at the barrage of comments, saying, “Do you think I’m the same crying anchor as before? Today, I’ll calmly show you a cool summer makeup look using this xx foundation I have in my hand…”
She had quite a few fans, and soon the chat started flooding with messages of support.
[Haha, the anchor has grown up!]
[Tongtong, we’ve got your back. Let’s see how long the trolls can last!]
[I want to go back and watch the video that made Tongtong go viral overnight!]
…
In the chat, one account suddenly posted, [Let’s have a compliments competition today!]
The audience’s response was significant, and one by one, they started showering compliments.
The internet trolls had some fight in them, but they couldn’t compete with the increasingly exaggerated compliments in the end.
Wan Tong couldn’t help but burst into laughter and couldn’t resist teasing, “Stop it, you guys are too good at praising people. Control yourselves, wait for the rhythm of the trolls later, and don’t forget the main task. Look at this foundation, it has a velvety texture, it’s lightweight but has good coverage…”
Wan Tong kept talking non-stop, occasionally glancing at the exaggerated compliments comments in the barrage, and couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh, “That’s enough, that’s enough.
“That’s okay, that’s okay.
“Don’t be like this…
“Oh my, I’m going crazy, it feels like my life has reached its peak~”
In another small room, Shao Heng watched the woman on the screen continuously smiling, and his lips couldn’t help but curl up. His ink-black eyebrows and eyes were filled with a smile, and in the end, he burst into a silly laugh.
When he heard his own silly laughter, he paused for a moment, then covered his hot face with both palms.
Why did he always do these silly things?
Li Zhi didn’t expect that the troll she hired to vent her anger couldn’t even make Wan Tong feel depressed. Instead, Wan Tong’s fans voluntarily formed a praise squad for her, and Wan Tong ended up trending!
#The Best Way to Control Trolls#
#Gu Wantong’s Fans Spoil Her So Much#
Both trending topics were about Wan Tong. She was delighted and held a lottery on Weibo, giving away lipstick to 200 fans.
When the list of winners was announced, her assistant told her with a teasing look that Shao Heng had also won.
Wan Tong : “…”
Netizens quickly noticed and couldn’t help but ship them together secretly; these two clearly had a lot of chemistry.
However, Shao Heng was a guy, and the lipstick he won wouldn’t be of any use to him. So, who would he give it to?
Under Wan Tong’s Weibo post, fans began to speculate about the purpose of this lipstick.
Knowing that Shao Heng had also won, Wan Tong took a prize and returned to her apartment. The lipstick’s color was the most popular shade among girls. It would look good on anyone who wore it.
