It was completely out of Si Yu's expectations that her disguise was exposed.
She didn't even know that the source of the matter was a loyal fan's post. Anyway, by the time she realized that her alias was gone, her editor, Mu Yan, had already come knocking on her door.
"Koi, you actually hid it from me for so long!" Mu Yan said fiercely, "No wonder when I asked you to hold a book signing event, you refused time and time again. So there was another reason!"
Siyu broke out in cold sweat. "Calm down, calm down …"
"Calm down your head!" After Mu Yan scolded for a while, she began to mutter to herself, "The popular author under me is actually a celebrity. Even a novel wouldn't dare to use this kind of double identity trick!"
Siyu reminded her softly, "But I've already left the industry …"
Mu Yan glared at her. Siyu was already feeling guilty, so she quickly shut her mouth and put on an obedient expression. Mu Yan didn't really want to scold her. It was just that Siyu had kept it from her for so long, and it was such a big matter. Mu Yan was really too shocked. After all, the other staff in the editorial department were just asking if they had made a real celebrity!
Seeing that Siyu was being obedient, Mu Yan sighed and asked, "What do we do now? The fans and the media are calling the editorial department at the same time. How do you want us to answer them?"
Siyu: "What does this have to do with the media …"
"You'll have to ask yourself that!" Mu Yan poked her forehead. "Although you've left the industry, there are still legends about you. It's normal that the media won't let you go. Don't worry about that. Think about what to say first. Why don't you draft a statement? "
Siyu pressed her forehead and felt a headache. What was going on? She was too unlucky …
At this moment, Mu Yan suddenly laughed. When Siyu looked over in confusion, she raised her eyebrows. "But there's still a piece of good news."
Siyu asked, "What?"
"Since you can't keep your fake identity anymore, you're not allowed to cancel future signings. You'd better attend them properly. I've already booked one for you. It's next week at the central square of Jiang City." Mu Yan seemed to be gloating. "I've prepared a thousand booklets for you. Of course, this doesn't exclude other things brought by fans, such as posters and the like. Remember to protect your hands. Don't be too tired when the time comes."
Siyu was dumbfounded. "Wait, what kind of good news is this?"
Holding a signing event after his sockpuppet was exposed, and he even had to prepare to sign his contract? Her comic editor really hated her. What kind of grudge did he have against her?!
However, Siyu didn't have any room to bargain. Mu Yan mercilessly made the final decision. Then he announced the signing event on his official Weibo and forced Siyu to repost it. In just five minutes, fans came to this Weibo post.
"Signing event?! I can actually see Koi holding a signing event in my life?? "
"Upstairs, actually, we often see Koi in person online … After all, Koi = Zhou Siyu has been tacitly agreed upon."
"So, this signing event is Koi's last attempt to break free from her sockpuppet?"
"I have mixed feelings. I've been to Siyu's screening before, and now I'm also preparing to attend the signing event. How does it feel to have my former idol and current idol being the same person …"
"Isn't the most amazing thing that these two sockpuppets belong to different fields? How can they intersect and even be compatible? Little Missy is really awesome!"
"I think I'm the one with the most complicated feelings. I'm a die-hard fan of Koi. She's the goddess in my heart, but I couldn't get Zhou Siyu before. Even though Koi drew a comic based on Zhou Siyu and I read it for the goddess, I still felt that she was too pretentious. But now … you're telling me that they're the same person?"
"Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. What does this mean? I like you as a comic writer and not as an actress? "
…
Ji Lin found out in time that Siyu was going to hold a signing event. As the leader of the fan group and a fighter among the die-hard fans, he was naturally pushed forward by the other fans. Everyone said that it wasn't easy for Koi to agree to hold an offline event, so it couldn't be too shabby, right? Why don't these fans gather together and hold a support event?
Ji Lin said, "The intention is good, but I might not be able to be there on that day …"
The fans said, "That won't do, Bro. You're a veteran. You should be the one leading the charge."
Ji Lin felt bitter. If he really showed up, his sister's signing event wouldn't be held. But on the surface, he still had to act like a big fan and calmly said, "Actually, it's Koi's first time holding an event. It's fine as long as it goes smoothly. We don't have to make a big fuss. It wouldn't be good if we cause her trouble. On that day, we'll just make a banner and hold it up. We'll just quietly line up and print the words on the banner a little bigger so that she can see it at a glance. Wouldn't that be better?"
The fans thought about it and felt that it made a lot of sense. They all said that Brother Yu was indeed a big fan. He was so thoughtful.
Ji Lin almost managed to scare this group of people. He raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
However, on the day of the signing event, Ji Lin still disguised himself. He wore a scarf, a hat, and a pair of sunglasses. He wrapped himself so tightly that even his sister wouldn't be able to recognize him. He sneaked into the backstage area through the side door of the mall and found his way to Siyu's lounge.
Siyu was still puzzled at first. When she saw Ji Lin take off his sunglasses, she was dumbfounded. "A Lin? Are you crazy? There are thousands of people outside. If you're seen … do you still want to walk out alive? "
Ji Lin hurriedly gestured for her to lower her voice. He looked around to make sure that there was no one around. Then, he lowered his voice and said, "Sister, I specially came here to support you."
Siyu's mouth twitched. She looked at him deeply and said, "You hide well. That's the best support you can give me."
However, Ji Lin refused to wait in the lounge. He insisted on going outside the stage to watch. Siyu didn't know why he was so excited. She couldn't change his mind and had to let him go.
The outside of the stage was filled with fans who had arrived early to wait in line. Ji Lin even saw a group of more than a dozen people holding extremely long support banners. With just one look, he knew that they were on the same side. Ji Lin felt quite gratified and pretended to casually walk over. A girl saw him in the blink of an eye and kindly gave him a support stick in the shape of a custard bun. She said,
"You're also here to wait for an autograph, right? I made two kinds of support sticks. I'll keep the sesame bun shaped one for myself. This one is for you. This was suggested by our group leader. "
Ji Lin thanked her. He thought to himself, I'm your group leader, but I didn't ask you to make the support stick in the shape of a bun. This style doesn't match … Especially when he was holding the custard bun support stick that represented him, he felt very conflicted.
When the scheduled time came, Siyu came onto the stage. The audience suddenly burst into screams. Some shouted for Koi, while others shouted for Siyu. Ji Lin looked around and realized that a considerable number of people had actually come for Siyu, who was an actress. After all, Siyu had basically faded out of the public eye after retiring from the entertainment industry. These fans knew that their idol was still active in another way, so they came to see if she was doing well.
Siyu also heard the voices calling her name. At first, she was stunned. Then, she slowly smiled and said, "… Thank you all."
Since Siyu had appeared, the fans naturally wouldn't let her go so easily. Sure enough, during the Q&A session, someone asked, "Miss, why did you hide the fact that you were Koi?"
Siyu thought for a moment and said, "At first, I thought that my two identities wouldn't interfere with each other. Later … You all know that I often draw Ji Lin for fun. If he found out, I would be in big trouble."
Some of the old fans at the scene immediately laughed.
That person also laughed out loud and said, "Because Brother Ji would be shy?"
Ji Lin rolled his eyes in his heart. He thought to himself, 'Of course he wouldn't be shy. He printed out every drawing that his sister drew and put it on his house. Of course, his assistant Xiao Ai coincidentally stumbled upon this matter. Xiao Ai stared at him suspiciously for a whole week as if to say, "Are you a narcissist or not?"
Siyu nodded and agreed. "Yeah, he's shy. Later, I was invited to act in 'Fashion Strategy', so he was even more embarrassed to say it."
In fact, it wasn't that the fans couldn't understand her. The main thing was that this was too flirtatious. In fact, after getting used to it, they found it quite interesting, so they didn't make things difficult for Siyu. Soon, someone asked another question. "Miss, actually your identity was exposed at first because of the ring you were wearing. Can you tell us if you're getting married soon?"
When Siyu heard this question, her face turned a little red. She looked down and nodded gently. Then, she shook her head.
No one understood what she meant. Siyu explained in a low voice, "It's a one-sided proposal. I haven't said yes yet."
There was a wave of good-natured teasing from the audience. Siyu's ears turned red. She hurriedly waved her hand and said that they didn't want to discuss this issue anymore. She asked everyone to hurry up and line up to sign the autograph.
Ji Lin pretended to buy a monograph and also joined the line. When it was finally his turn, Siyu saw her worrisome little brother. She sighed silently and squeezed out a gentle smile. "What do you want me to write?"
Ji Lin rolled his eyes and said, "Just write: 'My little brother is the cutest person in the world.'"
Siyu: "…" How childish can you be?
Of course, Siyu couldn't say anything to him in public. She could only give him a warning look. But in the end, she still signed according to Ji Lin's request.
Ji Lin held the monograph and happily walked off the stage. Little did he know that after he left, two or three people took their turns. A tall man wearing a long trench coat walked in front of Siyu. Like Ji Lin, he was also wearing sunglasses. But even so, it couldn't hide his exquisite facial features. He stood still and said in a deep voice to Siyu, who had her head lowered and was writing furiously.
"He's the cutest person in the world. What about me?"
Siyu's hand that was holding the pen paused. "…" Damn, was she hallucinating? Why did she hear her boyfriend's voice in this kind of situation?
The man wasn't done yet. He looked at Siyu's stiff body through his sunglasses. His hands were empty. He didn't buy Siyu's monograph and didn't bring his own paper. The people behind him were getting impatient and kept urging him to hurry up. He was unmoved and smiled at Siyu. "I'm proposing one-sidedly?"
Siyu: "…" This is bad.
Fortunately, this man only wanted to show his presence in front of Siyu and didn't do anything out of line. He glanced at Siyu and slowly walked off the stage.
Siyu … Siyu stiffly took the next fan's autograph board. She felt her back break out in cold sweat.
On the other hand, Ji Lin, who was completely oblivious to the undercurrent on stage, was happily walking out. The mall was crowded with people, and the exit was completely blocked. Amidst the pushing and shoving, someone bumped into him, causing him to stagger. His sunglasses were also crooked, hanging on the bridge of his nose, unable to fall off. Ji Lin originally wanted to raise his hand to support him, but his back was pushed by someone else, causing him to stumble forward and accidentally tear off half of his mask.
It's over — —
Just as this thought flashed through Ji Lin's mind, a sharp-eyed girl recognized his identity from half of his face, and a piercing shriek rang out: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Quick, catch him!! "
Ji Lin: "!!!" Sister, sister, save me!
