Wen Ruoyi gathered his wits together and discovered that Xue Ling was serious, and not just playing around, when his fans once again began to go crazy hating on Twilight Darling on the internet.
Although he had told his management to dissolve their CP status online, some fans were not the type to listen to him just because he had asked them to do something. As long as they felt like their master had been wronged, they would angrily rush over to Twilight Darling’s side, wanting to kill the person who dared to show their master some attitude.

Originally, as long as Gentleman’s Twilight’s message forwarding was used well, it could prove that they had a good private relationship, and show his followers that Twilight Darling had not just been holding onto his thighs. But Xue Ling ignored him, and even unfollowed him.
His female fans picked up on this, and they found it unforgivable.
Their god was giving him a lot of respect by paying attention to him and trying to make things easier! He was showing that it was not a big god taking advantage of a little nobody! Who did Twilight Darling think he was? Not replying when others were showing their concern, did he really think he was some big brand name?!
The hate army used this kind of logic to make a comeback and began to spam Twilight Darling’s Weibo account once again.
This time, Twilight Darling’s fangirls really couldn’t stand it anymore. They also went into a frenzy, and started fighting back.
What our little nobody does is our business. We didn’t ask your great god to come and concern himself over us.~ Who knows what kind of character your great god actually has, to make our little nobody disdain him so much? Perhaps he really did do something disgusting.~ Our Darling was so good-tempered and so polite. If he replied to everyone else but ignored your great god, doesn’t that mean he did something!?
Was the great god so amazing? What right did he have to demand that everyone reply to him just because he showed concern? Nobody knows each other here; your family’s great god is really too powerful. Does he have nothing better to do all day other than to ** in other people’s Weibo all day long? Are you all unable to read the atmosphere?! Since your master is so unpleasant, shouldn’t he go back and reflect on it?!

A flame war was raging, but Xue Ling went back to the song channels and queued up as though nothing had happened.
He had just said that he had a cold, but he came out to queue and sing again. Most of the girls on the channel were very surprised to see him, and told him to rest more when they heard that his voice still sounded stuffy.
Today seemed to be a strange day. There was nobody besides Xue Ling singing in the channel. After singing a song, he expressed that his performance was not up to par because of his cold. His voice sounded depressed and pitiful, which made his girl fans especially distressed.
[ Spicy Bird: How about you don’t sing. Darling, why don’t you do a special performance and chat with us? ]
Xue Ling read the comment and smiled widely. “One of you ladies suggested we chat. What do you all want to talk about?”
When he spoke up like this, the girls in the public screen all went wild, and lines of text scrolled up one after the other. But it only took a glance for him to see the repeated questions asking about his recent mood.
Xue Ling made a sad sound and said, “Some of you are asking about my recent mood. Well, I’ve been in a particularly bad mood recently.”
When he said that, rows of comforting words appeared on the screen.
“It has nothing to do with things happening online~” Xue Ling propped his cheek against his hand and spoke carelessly, “I broke up with someone recently, and now I’m just looking for comfort.”

There was a moment of silence on the public screen, and then the screen went crazy as everyone started leaving comments all at once.
[ Interdigital Sand: !!! Darling was in a relationship?!!! And broke up!!! Is it a guy or a girl!!! ]
[ Evening Qing: Petting Darling on the head. Don’t be unhappy. It’s the person who you broke up with who doesn’t know how to cherish you. ]
[ Endless Happiness: Fierce petting! Breakup and getting sick, Darling is so pitiful… ]
Xue Ling’s expression was amused, and no sign of unhappiness from his breakup could be seen on his face, but his voice when he spoke was full of painful heartbreak. “It’s not so bad. Who hasn’t encountered a few loser men in their lives? I was the one who suggested we break up. I’m preparing to spend some time recovering, then study hard and prepare to enter society as an adult~”

The amount of information he disclosed in paragraph was a bit much. The girls quickly seized upon the key point of ‘loser men’, and the screen was suddenly full if inquiries about his sexual orientation. Xue Ling picked through them, and answered, “Of course he was the one who chased me. Afterwards, it was me who threw him off. Relax, I’m so good looking that I won’t stay single for long~”
“Enough, enough. You guys love to gossip so much. I’ll sing another song before I go. Look, Candy has come online.” Another singer had joined the channel, and their name now showed up under Xue Ling’s. His alias was ‘Malt Candy’, and he had joined this singing channel at around the same time as Ning Simu. The relationship between the two of them wasn’t bad, but Ning Simu had been busy falling in love, so he hadn’t been coming to the channel as much recently. This was the first time the two of them had met online in two months.
Malt Candy’s voice was also young, and sounded very sunny. When he heard Xue Ling’s words, he turned on his mic to say, “What happened? I also want to gossip!”
The girls on the public screen began to comment again, explaining to Candy that their cute Darling had just broken up and teasing him for not knowing. They told him to hurry up and take advantage of the situation – perhaps he would be able to hug a beautiful person soon. “Darling lost in love? Don’t worry, come into my arms and let me give you some love~ Muah~”
“Get lost.”
“Aiya. It’s true when they say that those who have just broken up have a bad temper. Never mind. Tell me, who hurt you! I’ll bring a watermelon knife and go over to chop at him right now!” Malt Candy had opened an online store to sell fruits, and his fruits were very delicious. Several girls from the channel also bought fruits from him.
Xue Ling hmphed twice to express that Candy would be unable to beat the other party.

“Oh, oh~ It sounds like you tossed away a man~”
“Let’s stop talking about it. I’m going to sing, and then go to sleep afterwards.”
This conversation was recorded by one of their fans and uploaded as material for Malt Candy and Twilight Darling’s potential CP. It caused fans of their pairing to burst into confusion, and the haters who were still busy hating hurriedly rushed forwards to curse Twilight Darling for pretending to be pitiful. Who would go up and sing songs after being heartbroken? This was clearly just him trying to change the topic.
Originally, based on Wen Ruoyi’s habits, these kinds of internet matters would not show up on his radar. After all, his Weibo had a long history of staying silent, and his forwarding of Xue Ling’s Weibo message was the only one that he had sent during this period. Previously, the only reason some of their fans had gone to look for Twilight Darling was because some of the girls from the audio drama circle had released some conversations between the two and gushed over how cute it was. Other than that, Wen Ruoyi himself never expressed anything.
Probably because he had forwarded that Weibo message, Wen Ruoyi’s management paid more attention to Twilight Darling’s affairs. When she spoke to Wen Ruoyi next, she casually brought up the matter, and asked whether or not they should tell the haters to stop once again.
Wen Ruoyi had not expected that Xue Ling would go online and sing despite being ill. After listening to the recording, his brows drew together in a frown. He had wanted to let the youngster have a few days to calm down, but now it seemed that this child had thought his one-sided breakup was successful.
What a joke! He hadn’t agreed!
