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
Stanley Batton wore a gray turtleneck sweater under a long black woolen coat, with a pair of black pants and black leather shoes.His hair and shoulders were covered in unmelted snow, but he still managed to look cool and dignified.Just one look was enough to make Xyla Quest’s heart pound.Stanley carried a sizable paper bag sporting a logo belonging to his wife's favorite bakery.Xyla immediately cheered up when she saw it. “Honey, did you buy me a cake?”Stanley grinned with an indescribably gentle look in his eyes. “Yes.”He quickly removed his coat and changed into slippers before placing the bag on the coffee table.Stanley sat down beside Xyla, naturally extending his arm to pull Xyla into his embrace.“How was your day? Are you tired?” he asked softly.Everything about him seemed soothing and warm.Josh had long gotten used to this, and so had Sophie.Xyla felt warm in her heart. “No, I’m not tired. Honey, I feel like eating roasted pork ribs with fried eggs and to
Sophie Kenwick couldn't help but gasp in surprise when she found that her personal information had all been made public.Josh Batton’s fans were indeed powerful.‘Is this what being related to a celebrity feels like?’ Sophie couldn’t help but wonder and then figured that was probably the case.***After dinner at Xyla Quest’s house, Josh Batton returned home.Sophie went upstairs to take a bath and proceeded with her skincare routine while Xyla sat on the couch to play League of Legends.Meanwhile, Stanley Batton stayed in the kitchen to clean up and do some housekeeping, exhibiting the prime example of how a family man should behave.Ever since Stanley started doing all the chores in the house, Xyla had gotten increasingly lazy and would opt out of many chores whenever possible.All she wanted to do after every meal was to relax on the couch and then either work or play games on her computer.Whenever she wasn’t working, she would stay next to Stanley and wait for him to serv
However, there wasn’t any response to his call for help.Cough, cough, cough—Jeremy Quest continued to press his hand against his chest and coughed for a long while until eventually, Betty Starmount ran over to him.She was stunned for a moment when she saw him.Clenching her fists tightly, she calmly walked up to him. “Hey, what’s wrong with you?”“Get me some cough medicine. My cold is going away, but the coughing has gotten worse. I’m feeling out of breath.” Jeremy continued to cough as he placed one hand over his chest and panted.He had no idea that his face had already turned purplish red.When Betty saw him in such a state, she immediately stepped forward to pat his back gently but froze when her hand stopped about one centimeter away from Jeremy’s back.Her hand hung suspended in the air for a moment, and then with a deep breath, she slowly pulled away. “Understood. I’ll get the medicine for you right away.”After turning around, Betty frowned deeply, then rubbed her
