Oh No, My Tail Has Been Seen! - Chapter 15
Chapter 15
â—ŽNo, I Was Just Cryingâ—Ž
Su Miao replied and waited for a while. When she saw that Bai Jin wasn’t sending any more messages, she sat up and poured some hot water to make oatmeal for lunch. She had already been in front of the camera enough in the morning, and since the screen time was almost evenly distributed among everyone on the show, she could take a good nap.
The oatmeal tasted bland. Su Miao ate while scrolling through her phone. She had just opened Weibo when she saw Ning Yu’s name pop up. She clicked on the topic to see the details.
A paparazzi had taken pictures of Ning Yu already back on set. He was still in a wheelchair when he returned, but he was able to stand on his own during filming. It was fine for him to film scenes with other actors, but the action scenes would have to be postponed. And An Yixin was also on set, which immediately debunked the rumors that she would abandon the show for her next project. The news about the Film Queen was always a hot topic. A few minutes after the news broke, it was already trending on the entertainment page.
We Love An Yixin: My An Yixin is so great. She’s willing to sacrifice her rest time to finish this show. She’s a true and dedicated actress. [thumbs up emoji]
Ms. Liang, The Warmhearted Citizen: Ning Yu is also a great actor. I heard he had to get stitches, but he came back to the set after only two days of rest because he didn’t want to affect the production schedule. [crying emoji]
Click Me for More Inside Information: I heard that the only reason An Yixin stayed and filmed was because of her negotiation with Bai Jin. The two of them used to be partners, so it’s a facade that they’re strangers now. I can’t say the specific details, but you can join the group chat to discuss it.
Isn’t that an obvious scam? Su Miao saw the last comment and immediately reported it. How dare they spread rumors about Bai Jin. No, even if the report was successful, it wouldn’t prove anything. She had to join the group to explain. It was an agent’s job to fight for their artist’s best interests. Bai Jin had no romantic relationship with An Yixin. When Su Miao saw An Yixin win the Magnolia Award, she also wondered if they were very close, but later, when Chen Yin interned at the company, she asked her to find out. They were just great partners, not close friends. As an insider, the information Chen Yin got was naturally much more accurate than what others got.
Su Miao believed it, so she would not allow anyone to slander Bai Jin. Thinking this, Su Miao quickly switched to a dummy account and scanned the QR code to join the group chat. When she joined, she saw that there were already two hundred people in it. Everyone was arguing fiercely. Most of them were defending An Yixin and criticizing the group admin, while a few others were saying that the rumors weren’t groundless.
Group Admin: Pictures don’t lie.
After the admin sent that message, the group suddenly went quiet. All discussions stopped, and everyone was waiting for the pictures. One minute passed, two minutes passed, three minutes passed… Su Miao saw that everyone was quiet and quickly started typing her explanation. She wanted to clarify things. Even if Bai Jin had a meeting with An Yixin, it was for Ning Yu’s benefit, not An Yixin’s. After their partnership ended, Bai Jin no longer had an obligation to consider An Yixin.
Mysterious Person 1: Why aren’t you posting the pictures yet? Did you not finish photoshopping them? Your editing skills aren’t that great either, blogger.
Mysterious Person 2: Exactly. Ever since An Yixin started her career, she’s been an artist with zero rumors. She’s an actress who works hard, and you can’t spread rumors about her and other artists, so you’re trying to spread rumors about her and her former agent?
Mysterious Person 3: You’ve got the entertainment industry all figured out. Do celebrities have to be in a relationship? Can’t they just purely love acting and want to be a good actress?
…
The admin still hadn’t posted any pictures, and the group started to get loud again. Su Miao frowned. Everyone was speaking up for An Yixin, but no one was speaking up for Bai Jin. It was very difficult to be an agent. She had already finished typing what she wanted to say. After adding a period at the end, she was about to press “send.”
But then she saw a photo pop up. It was of Bai Jin and An Yixin having dinner alone in a private room at a restaurant. This didn’t prove anything. When they have business to discuss, they would of course do it in a quiet place where no one could hear them.
Su Miao was about to argue, but then she saw the next picture. An Yixin was standing next to Bai Jin and was leaning in, as if she was about to kiss Bai Jin’s cheek. Bai Jin’s expression seemed much softer than in the last picture, and her guard was completely down. An Yixin’s cheeks were slightly red, and the look in her eyes was the same as the one she had in a drama when she was in love.
How could this be? Su Miao’s hand trembled, and she accidentally sent the message she had written. She was stunned. No one else was talking. Her words weren’t enough to put her message above the picture. Instead, it formed a stark contrast with the photo. In the face of the photo, a long-winded explanation seemed pale.
Group Admin: Bai Jin signed a new artist and was going to have her participate in a new variety show. But it’s been three days since the show started, and Bai Jin still hasn’t shown up. Now we know why. She’s getting back together with An Yixin. She has no time to manage a new artist.
No, no, no. How could he insult Bai Jin’s work ethic? She was clearly dealing with Ning Yu’s injury and had to go over there. And while she was handling things there, she was also keeping up with her variety show recording. Bai Jin would listen to everything she said and give her advice. How could he just assume that Bai Jin didn’t care about her at all?
Su Miao’s eyes immediately reddened when she saw the message. Bai Jin was clearly good to all her artists. This picture was probably just a paparazzi’s interpretation. Maybe An Yixin just wanted to get closer to whisper something to her, and it just happened to be captured. It wasn’t a kiss!
Su Miao immediately started typing again. After she finished, she immediately sent it.
Mysterious Person S: The picture is so blurry. You probably took a screenshot from a video. Since you have the first picture of them sitting across from each other, you must have the video. Don’t paparazzi love to secretly record other people’s private lives and put them out for the public to see? Why don’t you release the entire video and let everyone see if they really kissed?
Mysterious Person S: The only reason Bai Jin went to the set and met with An Yixin was because her other artist, Ning Yu, had an accident. How can you be so certain that she did it for An Yixin? If you’re so sure they’re together, do you have any other evidence? After their contract ended, besides this one time, was there any other time they had a meeting? Otherwise, it’s hard to convince us with just your words and two blurry photos.
No matter how sad she was, she wouldn’t believe these untrustworthy media. She looked at the two messages she had sent, and there was no reply. The group was very quiet, with only her and the admin arguing. She was about to explain the variety show part, but before she could type, she received a message that she had been kicked out of the group chat.
?
He kicked her out without any explanation, which could only mean one thing: the admin was feeling guilty. Thinking this, Su Miao immediately sent the link to the admin’s comment she saw on Weibo to her dorm’s group chat.
Su Miao: Please, please help me report this person. They’re spreading rumors. It will be more effective with more of us reporting it.
Chen Yin: Got it.
Yang Yueyue: Okay, on it.
…
Her dorm mates quickly helped her report the comment. The blogger also posted a QR code, which was quickly reported. When Su Miao received the “report successful” message, she finally felt relieved.
Although the source was gone, the pictures he posted still existed. They quickly appeared in the latest discussions on the topic, but they were soon buried by An Yixin’s fans. Until the main person confirmed it, the fans wouldn’t believe it. Besides, a Film Queen and an agent could complement each other, but a romantic relationship had never happened. No fan would believe such ridiculous things.
The issue was resolved, but Su Miao realized that the oatmeal on the table was cold. She was too lazy to make a new one, so she drank it as it was. After she finished, she went to wash the cup. When she looked in the mirror, she saw that her face was covered in tears.
She didn’t believe that Bai Jin was in a relationship, but seeing that picture made her a little envious. She had never been that close to Bai Jin. Sigh. Su Miao sighed softly, but she knew she would have a chance in the future.
Thinking this, she washed the cup and put it to the side. Then she took a tissue and wiped her face. She had makeup on, and now her face was smudged. It seemed she had to remove it all. Su Miao was holding the cup and was about to remove her makeup when she heard a knock on the door. It must be a staff member.
“Coming,” she said. She put the cup back on the table and went to open the door. The next moment, her eyes widened.
Because standing in front of her was Bai Jin. The person she had just been talking to on her phone was now in front of her. Su Miao’s shock quickly turned to joy, and the corners of her mouth curved upwards.
“Bai Jin, you’re here.” Her voice trembled a little. When she had been reporting to her, Bai Jin never mentioned that she was done and on her way.
“I finished with Ning Yu’s situation, and I came here to be with you,” Bai Jin said. She looked at Su Miao and her expression immediately turned to one of confusion. “This morning, you showed me pictures of you doing makeup for the other two artists. Did you do your makeup in front of the camera, too?”
Su Miao immediately realized that she had smudged her makeup with the tissue. Bai Jin might think that her makeup was supposed to look like that.
“No, I was just crying.”
