Chapter 37: Fan Cultivation Operation

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Although the public opinion crisis against Yu Jue and Yu Yao had been resolved, it did not mean that everything was calm.

After a weekend, when she returned to university for lessons again, Yu Yao noticed that many of her classmates were looking at her.

Although most of the students did not have any ill intentions, it was not a pleasant feeling to be surrounded by so many curious onlookers as if she were a panda in a zoo.

After the first lesson, Yu Yao wanted to leave the university, but Yuan Qing stopped her.

Yuan Qing was a professional fan of Yu Jue. Yu Yao had a deep impression of her.

Facing Yu Yao, Yuan Qing felt extremely guilty. She twisted her fingers and looked very uneasy.

She had come to apologize to Yu Yao. “I’m sorry, Yu Yao. It’s all my fault for revealing my idol’s whereabouts to the fan group. That’s how those anti-fans got this opportunity to defame you and your brother. It’s all my fault.”

Yu Yao really didn’t know much about the matter, but seeing that the little girl looking like she was about to cry, Yu Yao couldn’t severely blame her.

She merely asked calmly, “I remember saying that I hoped that everyone would stop spreading news about Gao Cheng and me.”

Yuan Qing lowered her head and looked as if she had been chastised. “I didn’t spread any rumors about you in the fan group. I only said that my idol came to our university to help you teach that scumbag a lesson. The others followed the clues and found the university’s forum, and then… well, you know the rest.”

Yuan Qing even took out her phone and showed Yu Yao the chat history of the fan group. Yu Yao found that it was just as she said, she had only revealed a little bit of news about Yu Jue, and then it had snowballed into such a huge storm.

Yu Yao had a strange feeling. She didn’t know much about how these circles worked, but she felt that from the moment the anti-fans had been set to finding the university forum and raking up dirt on her and Yu Jue, to finally spreading it online, everything had happened very quickly and methodically.

Yu Yao then asked Yuan Qing, “Those anti-fans are quite powerful. Do all celebrities’ dirty pasts get dug up so easily?”

“How could that be possible?” Yuan Qing said angrily. “Everyone has their own lives. Who would stare at celebrities they don’t like all day long just to find fault with them? Only my idol is especially unlucky. Those anti-fans don’t seem to have their own jobs or families. They just keep staring at my idol all day. Sometimes, when he attends an event, he doesn’t express himself well. They then immediately organize a wave of defamation against him!”

Yu Yao sighed. “It looks like Yu Jue is especially unpopular. Is that the treatment a top celebrity gets?”

Yuan Qing looked at Yu Yao with a complicated expression and finally couldn’t help but feel indignant for her idol. “Are you really his biological sister? Why are you saying such sarcastic words?”

Although the person in front of her was a petite and cute little girl with a round face, Yu Yao somehow felt that she was a little scary and couldn’t help but shrink back.

Yuan Qing grabbed Yu Yao’s wrist. “Come and join our fan club! I’ll teach you how to fight for your brother. Although those anti-fans are very strong, us fans aren’t to be outdone. We can crush them in terms of numbers!”

“No, I don’t think that’s necessary…” Yu Yao said weakly. “I’m not interested in your fanclub.”

Yuan Qing was like a fervent missionary. “You don’t have to be interested in the fanclub. It’ll be fine as long as you’re interested in your brother. Furthermore, as an idol, he beat someone up for you in public. Shouldn’t you contribute to his anti-fans’ downfall?”

Yu Yao watched helplessly as Yuan Qing downloaded all kinds of apps that were essential for chasing celebrities on her phone. Then, she felt dizzy as she was instilled with a bunch of useless methods for combating anti-fans!

It wasn’t until Yu Heng came to take Yu Yao home that she finally escaped Yuan Qing’s clutches.

Sitting in the front passenger seat of Yu Heng’s car, Yu Yao patted her chest with lingering fear. “Oh my god, Yu Jue’s fanatical fans are really too scary.”

Yu Heng chuckled. “When you film the variety show with Yu Jue later, you’ll be recognized by more of them. When that time comes, you’ll be truly scared.”

Yu Yao couldn’t help but shiver as she imagined hundreds of Yuan Qings surrounding her.

She thought to herself that the eight-figure appearance fee was indeed not easy to earn!

After a filtering process, Yu Jue’s fanclub removed many suspected anti-fans. There were less than 200 people left in the core fan group. They were all die-hard fans who had proven that they liked Yu Jue for many years.

Qingqing Jue, who had been silent for the past few days, spoke again.

Qingqing Jue: I went to apologize to our idol’s sister today. I think she’s a little cute…

Qingqing Jue: His little sister doesn’t follow his Weibo. Although she’s not very interested, she still obediently listened to me talk about how to fight for rankings and oppose the antis. In the future, we can participate in fan club activities with our idol’s little sister.. In a way, I’m also our idol’s little sister!
