Can't You Cut Me Some Slack?

An Biezhi has liked Zhuang He for ten years, from his fresh-faced debut to his current status as a top-tier star. Every day, he diligently uses an alt account to shower Zhuang He with extravagant praise and passionate marriage proposals in the comments. He's a well-known delusional fan in the fandom. At last, he gets to meet the person he's liked for ten years up close. He works up his courage and approaches, his face bright red. "Zhuang He, I like you..." Zhuang He looks him up and down. "You want to date me too?" That night, An Biezhi angrily messages his friend: I'm unfollowing him! Friend: ? An Biezhi: I never thought he was that easy! I'm going to drag him through the mud! As Zhuang He reads the long string of messages from An Biezhi announcing he's unfollowing him and turning against him, he sits before the screen, speechless: "..." Not long afterward, An Biezhi gets a boyfriend. His boyfriend seems rich and handsome, indulges and spoils him, and follows his every word. The only downside is that they can only connect online. Most importantly, this boyfriend joins him in trash-talking Zhuang He! But after a while, An Biezhi doesn't like hearing him badmouth Zhuang He so much. An Biezhi talks it over with him: You don't have to keep saying bad things about him. He's actually a pretty decent person... Boyfriend: ? An Biezhi: We did love each other, after all. For my sake, cut him some slack. Boyfriend: Of course, darling. An Biezhi is very pleased with how obedient and considerate his boyfriend is. A little while later, someone exposes An Biezhi's alt account. Chaos erupts. The two sides' solo stans wage a cyberwar, while CP fans lurk in the shadows, darting across the battlefield to pick up crumbs. Just as everything turns into a complete mess, the stars themselves show up and kick the whole pot over while it's still hot. Zhuang He V: [@An BiezhiAmber, darling, I'm sorry. Will you open the door?] The netizens and solo stans who were enjoying the drama and fanning the flames: ...Huh??? CP fans: Wooo!!! * Probably a story about a flashy gong who struts around showing off like a peacock, and a shou who talks big but never gets the hint and spends every day arguing with himself. Maybe an online-dating trope. Theme: Everything is hard at first. Just keep at it.
