Xia Yitong's name occupied the front pages of various gossip forums overnight.
Post 1: Ten pieces of evidence that Xia Yitong’s secret crush is Lu Yinbing.
Post 2: Shocked! Xia Yitong's secret crush turned out to be her!
Post 3: Li Tao, what do you think of what Xia Yitong said during the interview about entering the entertainment industry for Lu Shen? Was it a true expression of her feelings or just a hype
1st floor: Absolute hype.
2nd floor: Hype 1, half a year ago, ytmm was still ridiculed by everyone when it was put in your area, but now it is really completely whitewashed [eating melon]
Floor 3: When I entered the building, I saw the screen full of sour air.
4th floor: Who in your area is not ridiculed by the crowd? Don't you know what's going on? They were not black in the first place, so how can they be whitewashed? 2nd floor: I guess Zhengzhu was overwhelmed by Xia Yitong. May I ask whether Zhengzhu was nominated for the Golden Cong Award or won the Golden Crow Award for Best Actress
5th floor: Don't start a fight, just talk about the facts. In recent years, Xia Yitong has been the most popular young actress in terms of resources, popularity, and popularity (note the order of the two words "young actress" and "traffic"), and she is also the most talented young actress, and the official actress. Don't question my award. Again, if you have the ability, point out a person who has no talent but won the Best Actress Award, I will lie down and let you laugh at me. In summary, I just want to say that Xia Yitong has no need to hype at this time, and even drag in the retired Lu Shen.
Floor 6: She was dragged out for discussion precisely because she retired from the circle. If Lu Shen was still in the circle, who would dare to blatantly take advantage of her popularity? Wouldn’t that be bullying Lu Shen who can’t refute now
Floor 7: Maybe God Lu saw the entertainment headlines and suddenly came back to life to start a fight. Hahaha, I’m looking forward to it.
8th floor: Looking forward to ID number
…
25th floor: After so many posts, I'm afraid you forgot that Xia Yitong and Lu Shen are good friends? Even if someone criticizes you, they won't criticize their friends. You jump up and down and look ugly.
26th floor: Look, there is a fool here who actually believes in his friends in the entertainment industry. Last June, Xia Yitong took on Lu Yinbing's "Adoptive Mother". Everyone has conspiracy theories, but I didn't believe it at the time. Now, a week before the Golden Crow Award nominees are announced, Lu Yinbing has retired from the industry, and I kind of believe it. If they are really good sisters, could it be that Xia Yitong stabbed her in the back? There is a lack of young talents in China, and the generation gap of actors is severe. Xia Yitong won the Best Actress award with this stolen script, and her future (money) is limitless, haha.
27th floor: The above person has paranoid delusions, right? If you had watched what happened ten years ago, you would know how powerful Lu Yinbing's agent is. Do you still know what the studio is called? It's called Lu Yinbing Studio. Stabbing someone in the back, how could you think of that? Mr. Xue from the studio is such a protective person, would he let Xia Yitong go? What do you mean by "stealing" the script? They are in the same studio, so they keep the money within their family! Fuck, I am really sick to death of you troublemakers.
28th Floor: No, there is nothing to argue about this. Xia Yitong opened her mouth herself, and no matter what she said, Lu Yinbing couldn’t get into her mind, so how could she argue with her
29th floor: I think it’s better for me to support this couple, they are both sweet hahaha
…
After the interview, Xia Yitong went home and took a good nap until dawn. Last night, she posted a selfie with her face leaning against the golden trophy. Her fans were planning to flatter her everywhere, but they were stunned by the gossip.
Xue Yao called Xia Yitong at nine in the morning. Xia Yitong rubbed her eyes and answered the phone slowly: "Hello."
Xue Yao: "Want to have breakfast?"
"Eat." Xia Yitong didn't understand.
Xue Yao: "Stop eating."
Xia Yitong let out an “ah”.
Xue Yao said: "Why don't you cook me as soon as possible, while I still have some meat left to eat."
Xia Yitong asked in shock: "What's wrong with you?"
Xue Yao said: "I'm fine, I just didn't sleep all night."
Xue Yao said: "Come to the company after breakfast. It's nothing serious. You can eat slowly."
Xia Yitong responded again, and she felt that Xue Yao's words "eat slowly" were the same as a girl saying "I'm fine" during a quarrel. She exited the call interface and checked Weibo's hot searches: Golden Crow Award winner Xia Yitong, Lu Yinbing, and even Laiying.
Xia Yitong clicked on the hot search for Lu Yinbing and found that it was the sentence she said in the interview video last night that stirred up a hornet's nest. She looked at the gossips at the top of the list and got up to brush her teeth.
As soon as she went out, she met Fang Hui standing at her door with a complicated expression.
Xia Yitong sat down at the dining table, took a sip of milk, and said, "I've read the Weibo post. I'll be at the company soon."
Fang Hui looked strange: "Have you read the gossip forum?"
Xia Yitong said: "No, I don't go shopping for that, what's wrong?"
Fang Wei tapped twice on the phone screen and handed it over. She didn't pay attention to gossip, but Xiao Xi, who liked to read gossip, kept whispering in her ear, and as a result, she didn't sleep all night last night.
Xia Yitong read the ten pieces of evidence and the shocking post, and almost spit out the milk in her mouth. Some of the evidence was true, but most of it was fabricated and taken out of context. It might be because of the rush of time. It was less than 12 hours since the end of the award ceremony, and the interview video was released several hours later, so there was no time to dig deeper.
Xia Yitong said: "Why are they so idle? Don't they sleep at night?"
Fang Wei shrugged her shoulders, indicating that she didn't know.
Xia Yitong glanced at her dark circles and asked suspiciously, "You didn't gossip all night last night, did you?"
Fang Hui: “…”
She lowered her head and said, "Today's milk seems to be a little sweeter than yesterday's."
Xia Yitong sighed.
Fang Hui cursed Xiaoxi a thousand times in her heart. The image that she had worked so hard to build up over the years was about to be ruined by her.
After dinner, Xia Yitong rushed to the company in a hurry. Paying attention to gossips is a compulsory course for employees of a star studio, especially those in the public relations and publicity department. They are different from outsiders. They know more inside information and know Xia Yitong's status in the company. They are aware of the relationship between Lu and Xia but pretend to be blind. However, they have all signed confidentiality agreements. If star assistants, bodyguards, drivers, and studio members can expose the privacy of artists, then there will be no need for paparazzi.
But just because they won't talk about it outside doesn't mean they won't discuss it quietly inside. Xia Yitong entered Mr. Xue's office, enjoying everyone's stares.
Xue Yao's secretary gave her a sympathetic look before she entered the room.
Xia Yitong basically knew what was going on inside.
She made an "OK" gesture to the secretary and pushed the door open.
Xue Yao sat at her desk, one hand on the keyboard and the other holding the mouse, not even sparing a glance at her. Xia Yitong walked over quietly and sat in the chair opposite her. With a creak, the leather chair sank.
Xia Yitong sat there for about ten minutes before Xue Yao stopped and turned her aching neck. She pretended to have just seen her and exclaimed, "Ah!" She said, "The secretary didn't even tell me you were here."
Xia Yitong's view of her acting was probably the same as Lu Yinbing's view of Xia Yitong's acting two years ago, just like two kids playing house.
She stood up and bowed respectfully to Xue Yao: "I was wrong. I shouldn't have said anything nonsense during the interview."
She admitted her fault in such a good manner that Xue Yao was about to choke back the curse she was about to say. She snorted heavily, "If an apology is useful, why do we need the police? Kneel down and I will forgive you."
Xia Yitong bent her knees, but before she could kneel on the ground, Xue Yao angrily slammed the table: "How dare you! My daughter's knees are as precious as gold. If you kneel down, I will break your legs!"
Xia Yitong sat back down again.
Xue Yao asked: "Have you read the forums and Weibo?"
Xia Yitong nodded.
Xue Yao said, "Can you tell me what you think?" Xia Yitong was not a person who didn't know her limits. She knew what to say and what not to say.
This time, Xia Yitong gave her an answer that surprised her.
“I want everyone to know who I like.”
"You—" Even in her own office, Xue Yao subconsciously stopped and lowered her voice, saying, "Are you crazy? Do you know the situation in China? If you come out, you're done."
"I don't want to come out." Xia Yitong smiled. Xue Yao had also seen that kind of naughty smile on Lu Yinbing's face.
Xue Yao: “???”
Xia Yitong asked back, "Do I only have two choices: coming out or being straight?"
"Let me think about it." Xue Yao raised her index and middle fingers slightly, temporarily interrupting her words. When Xia Yitong said that, a light flashed through her mind. She closed her eyes and followed the trajectory of her thoughts just now.
Xue Yao suddenly opened her eyes.
Xia Yitong knew that she understood.
Xue Yao said, "You mean you deliberately revealed the fact that you entered the entertainment industry for Lu Yinbing, just to let netizens speculate, and it would be best if they guessed that you just liked Lu Yinbing."
The news that Xia Yitong has a crush on Lu Yinbing has only been circulated in the forum and has not yet been posted on Weibo. This is because the time is too short for netizens to dig deeper. As more and more evidence is obtained, it will sooner or later be posted on Weibo and will be seen by the majority of netizens.
Xue Yao: "No matter how people spread it, no matter how much evidence there is, it is all just everyone's imagination. There is no real evidence at all. You only have one strategy to deal with it: don't respond."
There are same-sex rumors in the industry, and there are also actresses who have been labeled as the national husband. Their ex-girlfriends have come out to expose themselves, but the actresses refused to respond and continued to accept notices to film. Moreover, Xia Yitong's rumor is just a figment of the imagination of netizens. There is also the pretext of sisterly love. Xia Yitong has long said that her idol is Lu Yinbing, so any explanation makes sense.
No, Xue Yao thought, if she simply didn't respond, she wouldn't have this expression, could it be...
Xia Yitong laughed: "Who said I won't respond? Wouldn't it be a waste of time? I will respond, but the way I respond is different from what you imagine."
She told Xue Yao what she was planning. Xue Yao looked at her for a long time and sighed.
Xue Yao: "Let's practice a future interview." She handed over the phone, "May I ask what do you think of the online rumors about you and Lu Shen?"
Xia Yitong: "What scandal? Oh, I'm busy filming recently. If it's not related to the question, please give the interview opportunity to someone else, okay?"
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was pretending not to know, but she didn't say anything. She always had an expression that said "I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense", and no one could pry her mouth open.
She is not afraid of scandals. She is no longer seeking traffic, and her commercial value will not be reduced by scandals. Winning the Best Actress award means she has firmly established her foothold in the film industry. Her journey has just begun.
Those who believe that she likes Lu Yinbing will naturally believe it, and those who think she is straight will still think she is straight.
But with her "different" response, more and more people will associate it in that direction, and everyone will understand and comprehend it.
This is what she was planning. Who said there are only two choices: hiding it or coming out
There is no solid evidence. As long as Xia Yitong does not give a clear response, her sexual orientation will always be unknown, and she will not be banned. In other words, it is Schrödinger's straightness.
