The True Young Master's Metaphysical Road to Fame in Showbiz Ch. 41

Chi Qingzhou thought for a moment. Just to be safe, he decided to ask for Lu Yao's birth details.

Lu Man only knew her sister's solar calendar birthday, so Chi Qingzhou did a quick conversion. That was when he realized—Lu Yao's fate had been tied to borrowed life energy, a destiny of resurrection and lingering breaths.

"Special fate..." Chi Qingzhou murmured, "So that's it."

He looked at Lu Man who was a little worried, "It's okay, your sister is my friend, I will take care of this matter."

Lu Man was relieved immediately, bowed to Chi Qingzhou, and thanked him again sincerely. Then he pretended to be calm and left with his colleagues who came to see him.

Xing Shuangzhan walked out of his shadow and lay down beside him, playing with his hair with one hand and supporting his head with the other.

"Friend? That little girl doesn't seem to agree to be friends with you, Qingzhou."

Chi Qingzhou glanced at him lightly, "In the future, it will be. I don't have friends of this kind yet, it's impossible not to make friends."

Xing Shuangzhan let out a low chuckle and pulled Chi Qingzhou into his arms.

"You're right about everything," he murmured. "Now, get some rest. Who knows? You might not have much time to relax after this."

Chi Qingzhou didn't ask what he meant. He simply hummed in acknowledgment, closed his eyes, and let himself drift into a light rest.

At nine o'clock in the evening, all the guests of "Scenery Along the Way" finished a whole day of livestream and prepared to rest.

Because of the change in the recording process, the guests' accommodation was uniformly moved from different fellow villagers' homes to the guest rooms of the farmhouse.

Song Yuzhi showed his good intentions to Chi Qingning all day, but Chi Qingning had been restless since noon and didn't give him much response at all.

He was a little discouraged and wanted to ask his manager for advice on how to pursue someone, but his manager called him first.

"Yuzhi, do you know that there is an old fan in your fan club whose nickname is Great Shaman Ah Lai?"

Great Shaman Ah Lai.

Song Yuzhi had a deep impression of this old fan.

While other fans liked him mostly because of his looks or the roles he played, this particular fan was different.

This fan became his follower for a very mysterious reason — the fan felt that they were destined to meet.

At that time, Song Yuzhi had just started filming his first drama, a complete newbie with no experience or background to his name.

He had connections, but most of the actors in the crew were polite to him on the surface, while behind his back, they never had a good word to say.

When filming was over, he mostly kept to himself, even eating lunch alone in a corner.

This old fan was in the crew collecting materials for a paper when he saw Song Yuzhi and walked straight up to him, greeting him with a smile.

Song Yuzhi couldn't quite recall what they talked about, only remembering that the fan said he would become his follower.

He thanked him but didn't really understand. He casually asked why.

The fan smiled, his mixed-race face glowing under the light, his expression full of meaning.

"Maybe it's because I feel a connection with you. Maybe one day, you'll be able to help me out of a difficult situation."

Song Yuzhi thought the fan was being humorous, clapped him on the shoulder, and said, "Alright, since you're my first fan, I'll definitely help you out when the time comes."

But after the fan graduated from university, he went back to his hometown, and they only met once more during a fan screening event. They didn't talk much, and the fan left soon after.

Song Yuzhi vaguely remembered that the fan had answered a phone call, then declined to join the next event, hurriedly rushing to catch a flight.

Other fans from the fan club mentioned that the fan's family had encountered some problems, but Song Yuzhi didn't know if that was true.

"Later on, I saw his obituary and found out that he had passed away."

Thinking about that old fan made Song Yuzhi feel even more downcast.

"Brother Dai, why did you suddenly bring him up? Did something happen?"

His manager, who had started working with him when he filmed his third drama, didn't know that Song Yuzhi and the old fan had already met.

After hearing Song Yuzhi's words, he felt there was no need to hold back and directly told him about the situation reported by the fan club.

"Yuzhi, I usually don't interfere with your friendships, but this matter with Chi Qingning has gone too far. This Ah Lai was not only your old fan but also someone who has passed away. And now he's stealing something from a deceased person..."

The manager clicked his tongue in disdain. "He's not afraid of being haunted by the 'victim' in the middle of the night?"

Song Yuzhi didn't respond.

He was stunned by his manager's words, his eyes wide and unfocused, staring blankly at the wall of the room, unable to process what he had just heard.

Stolen?

Chi Qingning's insightful comments were stolen?

Stolen from his first fan?

How could this be?

Song Yuzhi's mind was in complete disarray. He wanted to deny it, but when Chi Qingning spoke about these things, his words were smooth and logically sound. The deep understanding he had seemed so original. How could that possibly have come from someone else?

But his first fan meant a lot to him, and he had already passed away. He couldn't bring himself to believe that his old fan was the one with the issue.

The manager, who already understood Song Yuzhi's personality, wasted no time and pulled out the evidence that the fan club had gathered.

"I had someone look into it. The viewing notes your old fan wrote and the internal accounts where he often posted comments — recently, they've all ended up in Chi Qingning's hands."

"There's also something else I need to discuss with you. Take a look at the materials I'm sending you. Once you've gone through them, it'll be easier for me to explain."

Song Yuzhi held his phone, his hands trembling slightly, his chest tight with anxiety.

At this moment, he wasn't sure if he even dared to open the pictures and videos his manager had sent.

He didn't know what kind of answer he was hoping for.

After spending time with Chi Qingning on the set of 'Vast Realm', he was pretty sure that he had developed feelings for him.
