After My Idol and I Followed Each Other

[Next up: *Dark Addiction*] Shi Ning doesn't follow celebrities or take part in fan culture. But overnight, her dessert shop became a hit in the entertainment industry, and the reason was pretty baffling. A minor internet celebrity livestreams: I finally got to buy this mousse! I had to book a whole week in advance to get a spot! Unboxing it... Whoa! This is way too beautiful! Mousse fit for a goddess! It's worth every one of the 168 hours I waited! Behind-the-scenes footage from a third-tier celebrity's recording: Thanks to my second grandaunt's husband's distant cousin's college classmate's godmother, I got to try this place's honey cheesecake without waiting in line. It's really delicious! A top-tier celebrity posts a late-night selfie: Trying this little cake that's been all the rage lately [picture] It all started because the low-key movie emperor Shen Yuanbai was photographed with this dessert shop several times in a row. Shi Ning is very principled: Even if you promote my shop, I still won't become a fan! A few weeks later, Shi Ning: Waaaah, my brother has worked so hard. He filmed while sick with a 40-degree fever... The comments instantly drowned her in abuse: He's been transitioning for years, and his haters are still as damn persistent as ever. Shi Ning: ...? Huh, isn't this how you become a fan? A superb baker who owns a dessert shop but doesn't know how to follow celebrities X A low-key, reserved industry big shot who's actually just a shameless flirt who hides it well --I want to taste both the egg cake and the jam at the corner of your mouth [Lyrics from "Garden Party"] The next book is *Dark Addiction*.

He pretended not to care and asked in a calm voice, "Are you leaving again?" Pei Zhi shook her head. "I'm staying. He's here." Everyone around them was nervously keeping an eye on things, but Young Master Xie merely sat there with a dark expression all night. Only his closest friends knew that they had another round that night. At the table, Xie Xing drank until his eyes were bloodshot, muttering to his phone: "Sis, what's so great about him?" [Bonus Scene] As Pei Zhi pushed her packed suitcase toward the door, she once again "happened" to run into Xie Xing, who was waiting outside. He was as agitated as a little lion. Gritting his teeth, he hissed in her ear: "Which bastard are you eloping with this time?!" Pei Zhi was just as confused. What bastard? What elopement? She was only going downstairs to take out the trash. Many days later, after finally figuring things out, Xie Xing said: "The bastard I've been jealous of all this time was actually myself?!"
