Gary Lakes smiled. “All right, good girl. Go on up.”Sophie Kenwick smiled and waved at him before making her way into the building with light footsteps.“Sophie, wait for a second,” he called out.She stopped in her tracks and turned around, still smiling as her eyes glistened brightly.They seemed enough to light up the entire sky during winter.“You like Josh, don’t you? I have two tickets to his concert taking place at the end of the month. Do you want them?” Gary asked her.“Sure, thank you, Gary,” she replied, nodding as she walked back toward him.“I just recalled that the tickets aren’t in the car. Why don’t I personally send them over to you when I have the time? Let’s add each other on WeChat and keep in touch,” he suggested.Sophie nodded without any hesitation, showing her account's QR code to him on her phone.Gary scanned it and added her as his friend.Once done, Sophie locked her phone and glanced at him. “All right, I’m heading up. Thanks again, Gary.”“You’
Sophie Kenwick told Xyla Quest about everything that she encountered earlier.Xyla laughed helplessly. “That internet celebrity deserved it.”“Right? She thought I was dumb. Did she think I was that easy to mess with?” After feeling content that Sophie was fine, Xyla stood up and gently ruffled Sophie’s hair. “All right, you can continue playing.”Sophie nodded obediently. “Hey Xyla, Gary seems like a nice person.”“He is. Your brother’s friends are all decent people.”“Yeah, he even said he’d give me tickets to Josh’s concert,” Sophie told her.“Do you like Josh?”“I watched his performance briefly in the car, and I instantly liked him. He’s so charming," Sophie praised. "However, it’s a shame that he got married at such a young age.”Xyla laughed. “Why didn’t you tell me that you like him? I can take you to his concert whenever you want.”“I only just found out I liked him. Gary was being nice, and I couldn’t refuse his offer to give the tickets to me, so I accepted,” Soph
“Are you there? I heard you’re a stalker.”“Welcome to Josh’s fan club. However, please love him appropriately and do not disturb him.”“Are you there? Stop bluffing. You said you’ll soon meet Josh. I’ve admired Josh for five years, yet I can only see him during concerts and at the airport. He doesn’t have any travel plans for the next few days, either, so how are you going to meet him?”Sophie Kenwick instantly turned off Weibo, not bothering to argue with these people.In the evening, Xyla Quest brought her back to a warm house.As soon as they entered, Xyla mysteriously pulled Sophie by her hand. “Soph, I have a surprise for you later.”The younger girl seemed curious. “What is it?”Xyla chuckled but didn’t answer her, leaving her feeling teased by Xyla's reaction.However, Xyla smiled and pulled her over to the couch before sitting down.“What would you like to drink?” Xyla asked.“Xyla, tell me…”“You’ll find out later," Xyla told her vaguely. "Tell me, what would you l
Sophie Kenwick nodded eagerly, unable to hide her excitement anymore. “Yes, that’s right, I like you a lot. I heard that you are holding a concert soon, isn’t that so? I’ll be there.”“Sure, if you need tickets to the concert, you can get them from Xyla,” Josh Batton replied.“I’ll be getting the tickets soon, and I won’t need her help,” she said.“Okay. Aren’t you going to invite me in?” he asked.As Josh spoke, his orange-scented cologne, accompanied by the cold wind, wafted through the air toward her once again.It made her feel at ease.She instantly stepped aside and made an inviting gesture toward Josh.He never stopped smiling as he stepped inside and changed into a pair of white slippers while hanging his coat by the entrance.Immediately after that, he closed the door and gazed at Sophie. “Let’s go and sit down,” he suggested affectionately.Sophie nodded, leading him to the couch before they both sat down.For some reason, she felt nervous in front of her idol and d
Sophie Kenwick quietly observed her idol.After a while, she opened Weibo and checked out Josh Batton’s fan sites.She saw some videos and announcements regarding Josh from those fan sites and then discovered an app called Bilibili. She then watched some videos there.Sophie put on earphones to avoid disturbing Josh and Xyla Quest as they spoke about work for a while. They were still talking when she eventually got tired of watching the videos, so she decided not to bother them.Instead, she opened Weibo and published her second post, which was the blurry picture she had taken of Josh.She also added a line of text. “Seeing Josh in person, and he is such a nice guy. Indeed, he’s my idol.”As soon as this Weibo post was published, countless fans of Josh's became aware of it, and they began flooding the Weibo post with comments.“Hmm, could you be any more fake? Did you think you could use a blurry picture like that to fool others?”“It must be fake. How disgusting, you’re such a
Immediately after, Sophie Kenwick told Josh Batton about her Weibo experience earlier.He raised his brows slightly when he heard this. “I’d like to apologize to you on their behalf.”“Forget it, this has nothing to do with you,” Sophie said.Josh didn’t say anything further and directly opened his Weibo page.Xyla Quest swiftly sat down next to Sophie and held her hand kindly. “Don’t worry about those hateful comments online. They’re just a bunch of brainless keyboard warriors.”“Okay.”“They’ll quiet down once you post a picture of yourself with Josh later,” Xyla added.Sophie nodded immediately. “Okay, that makes sense. I just want to embarrass these keyboard warriors as they annoy me so much. "I don’t understand what’s wrong with me writing about how I feel on Weibo. It’s not like I’m causing any trouble. "I’m only publishing it on my page, so why are they criticizing and accusing me of trying to get popular?” Sophie asked.The more she thought about it, the angrier she
“Let’s be friends from now on. Give me your WeChat ID.”“Can you take a few more pictures of Josh for me?”“Is Josh next to you right now? How are the two of you related? Are you relatives?”“Please, follow me!”Sophie briefly looked through the comments, shaking her head helplessly.Soon enough, she noticed a significant increase in her followers. In the beginning, she only had two followers. Now, she had over ten thousand followers, and was still rapidly increasing.At this rate, she would end up with more than 100,000 followers by the end of the night.Sophie could see that all her new followers had Josh’s picture as their profile photos, proving that they were all his fans.She couldn’t help but feel awed by his popularity.She quickly turned to look at Josh. “Thank you for standing up for me. Your popularity is terrifying. Just because you followed me, I started gaining thousands of followers. At this rate, I might even get my account verified as a celebrity account.”Jo
“That’s a given. Look at who’s in front of me,” Sophie Kenwick said.“Pick a few nice ones and publish them on Weibo. Many people are waiting for you to share those photos, so don’t let them down,” Xyla Quest said.However, Sophie frowned and lamented, “To be honest, I don’t want to share these photos with those people. They were horrible to me earlier.”“You don't have to if you don’t want to,” Xyla said.“Forget it, I'll still share them. Look at those people. It must be tough for them. I understand how much they love their idol,” Sophie sighed.After that, she selected a few photos that looked the best and published them on Weibo in a collage of nine photographs, adding a line of text, "Here are the photos you wanted. Don’t yell at me anymore.”Within seconds, comments flooded her Weibo post—“Ahh! Josh is so handsome!”“Are these original pictures? They aren't photoshopped, are they? Josh looks fantastic.”“Your photography skills are excellent! Are you a professional phot
