Chapter 1299: Chapter 1290: Confrontation (2)
Once the incident hit Weibo, it rapidly surged to the top trending spot, without any need to buy trending positions; it exploded straight to number one.
Although Zhou Weiwei is not particularly famous, the collective occurrence of such a significant accident immediately captured the attention of countless people. Subsequently, reporters caught Xia Siyu and Bo Yan on camera...
If initially people were worried about the rescue efforts, the sight of these two together might have made numerous fans feel as if their world was collapsing!
Then, the hashtag #BoYanXiaSiyu# shot to the top of the trending list in an instant, and Weibo even temporarily crashed...
Those who just saw these two standing together in the live broadcast, whether fans, casual observers, or ordinary people concerned for other celebrities, were all stunned.
Especially the fans, it truly was like that line from "Love of the Fallen City": A city had collapsed!
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, I’m freaking out!
How could these two possibly be together?!
Luckily, when the reporters were filming, Bo Yan had already brought Xia Siyu to a safe location, so there was no need to keep holding her. But even after letting go, he and Xia Siyu stood side by side, both looking anxiously at the other side, clearly indicating their relationship wasn’t as "indifferent and heartless" as claimed.
Bo Yan’s Weibo exploded immediately, and Xia Siyu’s Weibo did as well. Fans flooded with anxious and angry comments below, hoping their idols would "come out and say something"!
Maybe he went with Xia Siyu to attend the show, although it’s not on the itinerary, who knows if such guests might suddenly appear?
Maybe he was rescued earlier? They are in the same program group, surely wouldn’t stand apart during a rescue?
Maybe Bo Yan is simply being a gentleman?
Perhaps...
Fans are actually easy to appease; even if it’s true, as long as the celebrities deny it persistently, even if they know it’s true, they will pretend it’s false. As long as Bo Yan doesn’t jump out to confirm it, they will try to think positively about the situation.
Of course, there were also reporters trying to interview them, but Qin Baizhou quickly sent people to fend them off, with the excuse: "The most important thing now is disaster relief! We are really worried!"
Actually, he was lucky, having previously informed the show crew in advance. As long as Xia Siyu and Bo Yan didn’t want to admit it, they denied it persistently, with the show crew helping to smooth things over, they could somewhat gloss over the situation. Sticking firmly to the story that Bo Yan didn’t come over for Xia Siyu, let alone for a romance. He came over as a guest, and his hugging Xia Siyu was just a moment of urgency, his gentlemanly demeanor, while they are not lovers, just friends.
With such a big incident, everyone’s focus should still be on rescuing people; the relationship gossip is secondary, not comparable to several lives.
Reporters naturally didn’t dare to shoot much, considering that saving lives was more important. Besides, there were six other celebrities and countless staff in danger on that mountain, if by any chance... someone died, it would be explosive news indeed.
The scene was still one of rescue, but Bo Yan’s fans were visibly grief-stricken. Some critical and bold individuals had already started investigating and screening Bo Yan and Xia Siyu’s Weibo, attempting to find traces in their interactions.
After all, if they were real couples, they would certainly secretly display their affection, some small life details can’t be hidden.
