A music app announced its ten most influential singers.
Music blogger @Yi made the list, with the official title "Prince of Heartbreak Ballads."
Top comment: Buddy, your friend treats you like a confessional, and you go and dig a hole in his wound.
Second comment: Hahaha, stop laughing, or Lin Jiashu will start crying again. Who's going to comfort him then?
Third comment: Predicting tonight's livestream set list. I'm voting for "Under Mount Fuji."
That night in the livestream, a handsome, poker-faced man came online and sneered at the viewers for being "boring." But his eyes were already red at the opening notes of a slow song. In the end, he signed off to a screen full of comments calling him a "melancholy heartthrob."
That same day, Chu Yi returned to China to attend an event at her alma mater. During dinner with her classmates, she zoned out at the sight of a familiar name trending.
Someone called Lin Jiashu over. He coldly sat as far away from Chu Yi as possible, his gaze distant and indifferent, as if he meant to draw a clear line between them and have nothing more to do with her.
When their classmates asked about their relationship, Chu Yi avoided any misunderstandings and denied they were close.
That night, @Yi posted three sad ballad clips in a row.
Netizens: Which one of you upset the melancholy heartthrob this time?!

Chu Yi had always felt she owed Lin Jiashu for what happened back then. Remembering the red-eyed man in the livestream clips, she decided to find him and apologize.
She tracked Lin Jiashu down in private.
Chu Yi: "Um..."
Lin Jiashu: "Want to get back together?"
Chu Yi: "Huh? I just..."
Lin Jiashu: "Regretting it?"
Chu Yi: "I was just thinking, you..."
Lin Jiashu: "I miss you too."
That night, @Yi posted a cover video: "You're on the left, I'm right beside you. In that first photo, we didn't dare get too close~"
Netizens: What's going on? Did someone hack the heartthrob's account?

Later, Chu Yi curled up in Lin Jiashu's arms as he read the sharp-tongued netizens' comments with a deep sense of grievance:
"Your sister-in-law plays you like a dog... Go to hell. If you're so capable, go find one yourself."
"When is your sister-in-law dumping Lin Jiashu? It's been ages since he sang a slow song... Get lost."
"When are they breaking up? Waiting for the melancholy heartthrob to make a comeback... You can get lost too."
As he kept reading, his voice started sounding strange again.
Chu Yi looked up, and sure enough, the corners of his eyes were red.
"Hey."
Chu Yi sighed.
Comment: Stop scaring him, guys. He cries every single day. Who could put up with that?
