    Chapter 31: The Twin Male Supporting Character Brother

    The next day, the heat around the name Song Xi not only didn’t die down, but Song Xi’s Weibo post where he liked a comment once again rushed onto the trending search, sparking new speculations and discussion topics among many netizens.

    Some people began discussing that Song Xi deliberately lost the competition because Luo Fei had impure thoughts during the competition process and made improper advances towards Song Xi, which is why Song Xi voluntarily withdrew from the competition.

    After the second episode of the dating show was aired, the bullet comments were all asking if Luo Fei knew how to swim.

    [I want to ask, does Luo Fei know how to swim?]

    [Where are Luo Fei’s fans? Why aren’t you coming out to refute the rumors?]

    [Hilarious, he knows how to swim and deliberately didn’t save someone? What kind of celebrity is this! He’s not even as good as a nobody!]

    [Didn’t his fans stick up for him back then? What, are they silenced now?]

    [Still sticking up for him? Don’t you see what kind of person your idol is? It was just a competition, and he couldn’t control his lower body!]

    [I watched it and wanted to call the police for Song Xi!]

    [Sob sob sob, my poor Song Xi is weak and helpless, he can only swallow his grievances.]

    Regardless of whether those who posted these bullet comments were passersby or fans, Luo Fei became the target of public condemnation at this time. However many internet trolls he hired to slander Song Xi back then, it all bounced back now.

    When his fans wanted to speak up, a large number of netizens would retort by asking if their idol knew how to swim.

    Because of the like, Song Xi was pulled aside by Qiao Xin and lectured. He stood there being scolded, pouted, and then said unconvinced, “Maybe it’s precisely because of this like of mine that everyone can see what kind of person Luo Fei is.”

    What he said was not without reason, and Qiao Xin also thought carefully. It was exactly this like that made everyone re-examine the first episode of the dating show and discover some subtle details.

    Although that was the case, Qiao Xin was afraid that Song Xi had a habit of liking things randomly, so he still criticized him.

    “If you want to look at these Weibo posts in the future, get a small account. Don’t make me worry,” Qiao Xin waved his hand and took a sip of water.

    Song Xi agreed and applied for a small account.

    Seeing Song Xi’s followers soar, Qiao Xin sighed, “You have this turnaround today thanks to the company.”

    If it weren’t for the public relations department taking action, hiring internet trolls and creating favorable public opinion for Song Xi, the reversal of the slander against Song Xi wouldn’t have come so quickly and stayed on the trending search.

    Song Xi’s fingers scrolling through Weibo slowed down, and he listened carefully to his agent.

    “Do you still remember Xue Xuan?”

    “What about him?” Hearing his agent mention his rival, Song Xi put down his phone and sat closer.

    Qiao Xin laughed gleefully, “Didn’t he take on the second season of the dating show? Now that Luo Fei’s public image has collapsed, he’s also having a bit of bad luck.”

    Song Xi smiled upon hearing this. He had always disliked Xue Xuan, who had used improper means to snatch the male lead role in a school idol drama from him.

    Song Xi and Xue Xuan met when they auditioned. At that time, both were auditioning for the male lead. Song Xi got the male lead role because he was good-looking and fit the appearance of the male lead. The drama was a small production, but this was Song Xi’s first time acting, so he was inevitably nervous.

    And Xue Xuan, who was eliminated and became the male second lead at that time, constantly comforted him and encouraged him on how to act.

    He didn’t expect that the encouragement and comfort during this period were all filmed and put on the internet, causing fans of that school idol drama to demand a replacement actor who could act.

    Xue Xuan then performed a scene of the male lead in front of him, which was discovered by visiting fans. Later, someone on the internet revealed that Xue Xuan was the male second lead, and they were all upset, going to the drama’s official Weibo every day to curse, until the drama crew swapped the roles of the two people.

    Qiao Xin discovered the trick and came to the set, finding that Xue Xuan had been calculating Song Xi all along. The videos teaching Song Xi how to act online were all deliberately arranged by him for others to film, and then secretly uploaded, wanting to use fans to pressure the crew and take his place.

    After Song Xi learned about this, he immediately refused to act, and also turned against Xue Xuan, specifically snatching resources suitable for him.

    “Regardless, the company helped a lot this time. Don’t you need to say thank you to President Yan?” Qiao Xin always felt that President Yan must have been behind this matter.

    “I will,” Song Xi said softly, his hand already unable to control clicking open his phone and sending a thank you emoji to someone.

    After a while, he typed a few more words and sent them.

    [I didn’t let you down, did I?]

    After Song Xi sent this sentence, he felt his heart beat faster, somewhat nervous.

    Qiao Xin just found him a bit strange. “What’s wrong? Why is your face so red? Are you allergic?”

    Speaking of allergies, Qiao Xin became a little nervous. “You’ve already signed with Baosen, don’t have any problems.”

    “I’m fine, not allergic either,” Song Xi quickly shook his head.

    “That’s good,” Qiao Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and his phone rang in his pocket. “I’ll take a call first.”

    Qiao Xin went out to answer the phone with a frown.

    Two minutes later, he rushed back. “Song Xi, I have something to go back to my hometown for. Don’t post anything on Weibo for now, wait until I get back to talk about everything.”

    Qiao Xin spoke quickly and left in a hurry. He was gone for a week.

    By the time Yan Ye noticed that Song Xi’s agent was gone, it was already a week later.

    “Where’s your agent?” Yan Ye asked, wondering why he came to the company alone for acting lessons.

    Since the company was acquired by the Yan Group, the only artist Qiao Xin managed was Song Xi, which was also arranged by Yan Ye deliberately.

    Although the Book of Reincarnation didn’t mention Qiao Xin much as an agent, ever since he came to this world and saw it with his own eyes, Qiao Xin was someone who genuinely treated the male supporting character well. Since he was so good, why wouldn’t he care after the male supporting character was released from prison? Why didn’t he even appear?

    “Brother Qiao asked for leave to go home,” Song Xi replied, lowering his head as if thinking about something.

    “Does President Yan know why Brother Qiao asked for leave to go home?” Song Xi asked. He couldn’t get through to Brother Qiao’s phone these past few days and didn’t know if Brother Qiao had told the company the reason for his leave.

    Yan Ye had finished eating, wiped his lips clean with a napkin, took out his phone, and sent a message. “I’ll ask.”

    Their meal today was truly a coincidence. Yan Ye saw a family of three happily together. Not long after, he bumped into Song Xi, who looked like a discarded puppy, standing confused by the roadside watching that family of three enter a high-end restaurant.

    That was Song Fu, Song Mu, and Song Muhan, but only Song Xi was missing.

    Yan Ye watched for a while, still following his inner feelings, walked over, and took the person to another Western restaurant for dinner.

    Song Xi heard his invitation, sorted out his emotions, and excitedly got into his Porsche Cayenne.

    Lexing had already replied. They only said that Qiao Xin left in a hurry and didn’t even write the reason for his leave.

    Yan Ye frowned and told him truthfully.

    Song Xi had no appetite, ate a little salad, and nodded.

    “How about I ask the company to arrange another agent for you first?” Yan Ye pushed a plate of cherries in front of him.

    Song Xi didn’t notice this point, his mind was focused on changing agents, thinking President Yan wanted to change his agent. “No, no, I’ll just wait for Brother Qiao to come back.”

    It was not difficult to see that Song Xi relied heavily on Qiao Xin. The fact that he relied on him so much proved that Qiao Xin was quite good to Song Xi.

    “As you wish, eat more fruit,” Yan Ye said casually, as if mentioning it randomly, still playing with his phone.

    Song Xi said thank you, wanting to continue eating the vegetable salad. As soon as he lowered his head, he found a plate of cherries had appeared in front of him at some point.

    The cherries were black-red, their color enticing, making one Can’t help try one and not be able to stop.

    The juice was very sweet. Song Xi boldly looked at the man who seemed to have something on his mind. “President Yan, do you want to eat cherries?”

    “Hmm,” Yan Ye’s lips didn’t move, his throat issue a sound.

    Song Xi naturally picked up one and brought it to his lips. “You can try it, it’s very sweet.”

    Yan Ye naturally bit it into his mouth, his lips accidentally touching the other person’s hand, and only then did he slightly raise his eyes.

    His deep eyes made people feel uneasy. Song Xi was a little scared by his gaze, and even began to wonder if he had done something wrong.

    Yan Ye’s gaze lingered on his fair fingers. “Next time, don’t feed others this way, understand?”

    If he did, he wouldn’t even know if someone took advantage of him, really foolish!

    He was also used to it, which is why he bit down so naturally. By the time he came back to his senses, he had already eaten that cherry.

    Song Xi understood the meaning in his words and awkwardly lowered his head. “Sorry, I thought President Yan was busy and had no time to eat, so I wanted to give it to you.”

    Yan Ye looked at him deeply, put down his phone, “Not very busy, just dealing with a small matter.”

    Looking at the steak in front of the young man, which had not been touched, Yan Ye reached out to take it under Song Xi’s surprised gaze.

    Song Xi’s eyes widened slightly, wanting to speak but hesitating.

    Was President Yan not full? Why was he taking the food he had left over?

    Although Song Xi hadn’t eaten a single bite of the steak, he still felt it was his leftovers, and it was truly strange for Yan Ye to take it to eat.

    A medium-rare steak was cut into small pieces. Yan Ye put down his knife and fork, and when he looked up, he found Song Xi’s gaze fixed on the steak he had cut.

    Yan Ye chuckled and deliberately asked, “Want to eat? I thought you weren’t eating anymore.”

    Song Xi’s face instantly turned red. “No, President Yan, please eat.”

    Yan Ye took away the plate of vegetable salad in front of him and replaced it with the cut steak. “I won’t tease you anymore, it’s for you to eat!”

    Song Xi showed a flattered expression, picking up the knife and fork in disbelief. Just as he forked a small piece of steak, he heard the man opposite him chuckle.

    “I thought you didn’t like the restaurant I invited you to. Their steak is quite good, try it.”

    “Okay, thank you, President Yan,” Song Xi thanked him with his head lowered. After eating a piece of steak, before he could swallow it, his dark eyes lit up, and he said unclearly, “Mmm, deli…”

    Yan Ye smiled slightly and nodded, pouring him half a glass of red wine.

    Song Xi had a low tolerance for alcohol, and half a glass of red wine was enough to make his face flush and make him unable to tell directions.

    Yan Ye invited him to dinner and was also responsible to the end, personally sending him home.

    This time, he happened to encounter this family of three again.

    “President Yan, why are you at my doorstep?” Song Fu saw that the person who got out of the luxury car was Yan Ye and immediately walked over to greet him. Song Mu and Song Muhan followed behind him, also looking at him curiously.
