The Outdated Boy Group Became Popular

Chapter 20

Jiang Zhixia knew that his actions at this moment seemed to be taking advantage of someone's misfortune, so he didn't dare to hold her for too long and soon let go.

It must be said that he was very foresighted. Just as he loosened his hand, the person in his arms also stretched out his hand to push him. However, Jiang Zhixia loosened his hand faster, so Xia Zhi, who was a beat slower, raised his hands in the air and kept the push gesture, which was a little awkward.

Xia Zhi: “…”

Jiang Zhixia had a smile in her eyes, but she didn't dare to show it. She used her professional acting skills and said nonchalantly, "Let's go back. They are already waiting for us in the parking lot."

"Oh." Xia Zhi withdrew his hand awkwardly. The heavy emotions in his heart gradually dissipated, and were replaced by resentment.

After the forced kiss last night, Jiang Zhixia had been inexplicably in a state of wanting to give up. After Xia Zhi had clearly refused to reconcile, she not only did not give up, but became even more reckless and bold. This made Xia Zhi very frustrated. She had always been firmly in the dominant position before, but now it seemed like the situation was reversed.

Jiang Zhixia is now like a piece of taffy, and seems to be persistent.

The more Xia Zhi thought about it, the more depressed he became. As they walked, he couldn't help but glare at Jiang Zhixia. Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhixia showed no remorse, but instead curled up the corners of her mouth and smiled at him tenderly.

“… Shit!”

Xia Zhi cursed inwardly, turned away pretending to be calm, his ears slightly red.

As expected of someone who became famous overnight thanks to idol dramas, his destructive power is indeed very strong.

The more Xia Zhi thought about it, the angrier he became. He quickened his pace and decided to distance himself from him.

Jiang Zhixia didn't catch up this time. Instead, she followed him calmly, keeping a distance of three steps, and her eyes were extremely gentle when she looked at his back.

On the way back, Sang Luo called his assistant and asked him to help contact the best hospital for tumor treatment in City A. The assistant was very efficient. As soon as everyone returned to Jingwu Village, the assistant called and said that they had already contacted Uncle Hua and made an appointment for him to see the doctor next week.

The timing was just right. Their filming in Jingwu Village would end next week, and when they returned to City A, they could take Uncle Hua and Aunt Hua with them.

Uncle Hua had to give up his job at the construction site in the county town, so he has been staying at home these days and being taken care of by Aunt Hua.

There are no secrets in the village. If someone has a headache or fever, it will spread from one end of the village to the other, not to mention a serious illness like cancer. The day after Uncle Hua came back with Aunt Hua, everyone in the village knew that Uncle Hua had liver cancer. Neighbors who had a good relationship with the Hua family went to visit him, but everyone carefully avoided the fact that Uncle Hua was sick, pretending that it was just an ordinary visit. Only after leaving the Hua family's gate did they dare to show compassion and regret on their faces. When they got together to chat privately, they all sighed about the couple's unfortunate fate.

Because they were worried about Uncle Hua's illness, Xia Zhi and the others were a little distracted during the filming these days. And now because of Uncle Hua's illness, the whole village was filled with a depressed atmosphere, and they also felt that it was not appropriate to go out and laugh and do a show at this time, so they stayed in the house to film these days.

Xu Tian actually wanted to use Uncle Hua's family affairs as material for the show, as a topic, but as soon as he mentioned it, he was rejected by the five people with cold faces.

Aunt Hua's family was already in such a difficult situation, but Xu Tian actually wanted to use other people's suffering to attract attention. This made the five people most angry and difficult to accept. From then on, although the five of them acted the same as usual on the surface, they had some complaints about Xu Tian in their hearts, and even didn't pay much attention during the filming.

Xu Tian was so anxious about the boring shooting materials that were getting more and more boring day by day, but these five guests were not ordinary small artists, so he didn't dare to offend them and could only continue to worry. Just when he was worrying about the next content, a new melon suddenly broke out on the Internet, and the parties involved in the incident turned out to be two of the five guests.

When the incident broke out, the five people were having breakfast.

Xiao Han is a serious internet addict, and his phone is always with him 24 hours a day. He has to surf the Internet for a while during his breakfast. He holds a spoon in one hand to drink porridge, and holds his phone in the other hand to surf the Internet. He went to Weibo to see if there was any hot news in the entertainment industry today. As a result, as soon as he clicked on the hot list, he was so shocked that he spat out a mouthful of porridge.

"puff-

"Eh—" The four team members stretched out their hands to protect their bowls and glanced at Xiao Han with disgust.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Xiao Han apologized awkwardly and quickly took out some paper to clean up the mess on the table.

"What new gossip have you seen that shocked you so much?" Cheng Yunan asked him knowingly.

"Hmm..." Xiao Han glanced at Jiang Zhixia cautiously and said vaguely, "It should be fake. Let me take another look."

After saying that, he lowered his head and continued to drink his porridge, while clicking on the first entry. A minute later, he took a second sip.

"puff-"

"Ah! Xiao Han!" The teammates were completely furious this time. "Are you a pea shooter?!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it," Xiao Han explained as he pushed his phone onto the dining table, "I was just too shocked to see Lao Jiang on the trending search."

"What's so shocking about Jiang Zhixia being on the hot search?" Cheng Yunan took the phone suspiciously, took a look and widened his eyes in shock, and read out the news headline word by word, "Shocking! Jiang Zhixia's love affair exposed! The mysterious object is actually..."

"Puff, cough, cough!" This time, Xia Zhi was the one who spit out the porridge. But at this moment, no one cared to denounce him, and all looked at the person involved.

Jiang Zhixia was as calm as an outsider at this moment.

Sang Luo asked: "You already know it?"

"Then why aren't you worried at all?" Xiao Han looked at Xia Zhi who was still confused and whispered, "This is a rumor!"

Sang Luo became curious: "What's going on?"

At this time, Cheng Yunan probably understood everything clearly and explained to him: "It should be that when we went to the hospital to visit Uncle Hua that day, a passerby recognized Lao Jiang, took a picture of him secretly and leaked it to the marketing account."

"Then why are you involved in a relationship again?"

Cheng Yunan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then read the main text to them: "It is reported that the newly crowned film emperor Jiang Zhixia appeared in a hospital today, accompanied by a companion. The companion was a young man. The two hugged each other intimately at the hospital entrance, and finally left in the same car. The two are suspected to be in a relationship... And the accompanying picture is Lao Jiang and Xia Xia."

Xia Zhi: “…”

Cheng Yunan clicked on the photo to show everyone.

Xia Zhi took a look and narrowed his eyes, staring at the photo on the phone with a bad expression.

The voyeur probably recognized Jiang Zhixia very early and had been lying in ambush near the gate. He captured the moment when Jiang Zhixia came out of the hospital to look for him and when the two of them left. Of course, the film also included some of the more ambiguous actions, such as Jiang Zhixia hugging him and touching his head to comfort him.

Weibo was already buzzing with rumors, but since Jiang Zhixia had been in the industry for so many years and had no romantic scandals, and was still at a relatively young age, most people were still blessing and supporting him in his relationship. There weren't many voices of opposition on the Internet, but instead everyone was curious about who Jiang Zhixia was dating.

[Jiang Zhixia is really in love! Is the partner someone in the entertainment industry? ]

[Fuck! He has acted in so many idol dramas, how come he is gay? How can I support him in future?]

[How can anyone think Jiang Zhixia is straight? I knew he was gay the first time I saw him...]

[Fans said that it doesn’t matter whether my idol is straight or gay, as long as he is happy! And this “male sister-in-law” seems to be very beautiful, she is a perfect match for my idol! ]

[Can you tell she's good-looking just from her profile? Can fans stop blindly praising her?]

[This superior jawline, this upturned nose, this perfect lip shape, it's not good-looking, are we the fans blindly criticizing or are you the ones blindly criticizing! ]

[Oh shit, I’ve been a fan of Jiang Zhixia for eight years, and this is the first time I know he can laugh like this. Could it be that my idol is in love? ]

[What's wrong with being in love? Only when men are in love can their marriage be happy! ]

[Am I the only one who thinks Jiang Zhixia's boyfriend looks familiar? ]

Just as Xia Zhigang saw this, his phone was taken away by Jiang Zhixia.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Xia Zhi raised his head and looked at him without saying anything.

Jiang Zhixia didn't say anything else, just gave him a reassuring look.

It is actually not very difficult to explain this matter clearly, and Xia Zhi is not particularly worried.

At noon, Jiang Zhixia's studio posted a clarification on Weibo. They did not introduce Xia Zhi's specific identity, only saying that she was a friend of Jiang Zhixia. At the same time, they explained the behavior in the photo - saying that it was because an elder they knew was seriously ill and the friend was in a bad mood, so Jiang Zhixia comforted him with a few words.

In fact, this is indeed the whole truth of the matter, but perhaps because the atmosphere between the two people in the photo is not like that of ordinary friends, not many people believe this explanation. However, no matter how netizens speculate, Jiang Zhixia's studio has not responded to this matter. And the whistleblower did not come up with any new information, and the heat of this matter soon subsided.

But just as this matter was suppressed, somehow, the video of Victoria attending a wedding banquet was dug up again not long ago.

While the photo of Xia Zhi and Jiang Zhixia hugging was still trending on Weibo, a blurry video of five people attending a wedding banquet went viral. Soon, careful netizens discovered that the figure of one of the people in the video was inexplicably similar to Jiang Zhixia's rumored boyfriend. While netizens speculated whether the two were the same person, they also started a discussion about whether the person on the edge was Jiang Zhixia. At the same time, netizens finally noticed this long-disbanded group.

Some people speculated that they were the mysterious group Victoria, which frequently appeared on the hot search list some time ago, based on the time of their debut and disbandment. Victoria's popularity suddenly rose again.

Seeing that the time was ripe, the program team decided to take advantage of this wave of popularity to officially announce the event.

The name of the group variety show was finally decided to be "yeah~".

Because the yeah hand gesture is a V, which is also the group's gesture. The last shot in Victoria's debut trailer was them standing at the beach with their backs to the camera and making the yeah gesture in the sunset.

Netizens don’t know much about Victoria, so naturally they don’t know that a simple “yeah” action can contain so much meaning. Everyone’s first reaction when seeing the name of the program is - what a messed up name!

Take another look at the program introduction—it’s the first screen reunion of the boy band Victoria eight years after their disbandment. The thirty-year-olds recall the time when they once worked hand in hand, and remember the days and nights when they shed tears for their dreams.

Netizen: Oh, a group of old men are here to sell feelings [cold face]

Bah! Shame on you!
