Baihe Fan

Chapter 4: Green Hat

The staff at the scene were silent for a few seconds, while the live comments exploded at an unbelievable speed.

[Hahaha, oh my god, the fastest breakup in history? Showing off their love for less than three minutes before breaking up, Xia Linxia, you never disappoint!]

[I was just about to scream! Now it feels like a total letdown!]

[Is this an interview to address their relationship or a breakup interview? Hahaha]

[Announcing the relationship only to break up immediately, this is so Xia Linxia!]

[Geez, Xia Linxia has such a weird temper. All those dating rumors before always ended in failure. I bet fifty cents this won’t last long either!]

[But why does it seem like Ji Fengxue is trying not to laugh?]

The host quickly recovered, trying to salvage the situation with a forced smile. “Fengxue, what do you think?”

Ji Fengxue smiled softly, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear, and gave Xia Linxia a meaningful look. “I respect Xia Xia’s opinion. Whatever she says goes, I’ll listen to her.”

What a clever move! Not only did she show their affection subtly, but she also placed the responsibility on Xia Linxia, leaving her to deal with any consequences.

Xia Linxia mentally applauded her skills but outwardly put on a look of ‘you little trickster.’ “I was joking! How could I ever break up with my baby? Meeting you used up all my lifetime luck,” yeah, stepping in dog poop kind of luck, “so I’ll definitely cherish you.” Like hell I will.

They exchanged a smile, each hiding their own thoughts.

[Aaaaah, I’m done! Xia Xia, baby, you’re so shameless with your sweet talk, hahaha!]

[Too cheesy, too cheesy. If it wasn’t for your looks, I’d be puking in the toilet right now, haha.]

[Xia Linxia, please treat our fairy well. The “Snowflakes” are eternally grateful!]

[Who would’ve thought Xia Xia would get into a relationship? Though it’s not with an 181cm tall, rich, and handsome guy, with Ji Fengxue’s charm and looks, they’re a perfect match! Amazing!]

[I’ve shipped countless CPs, but I never imagined my dream would come true with the Summer-Winter CP! You two better stay together!]

The host continued with the planned questions. Fortunately, the two didn’t cause any more trouble, pretending to show affection for the audience.

Midway through the interview, the host asked what each had saved the other as in their contacts, and they took out their phones to show.

Xia Linxia had set a ridiculously cheesy nickname for Ji Fengxue: Xia Xia’s Big Baby.

Fans were both disgusted and thrilled. Could this sappy nickname really be from their tough Xia Linxia? Love truly makes people foolish.

Externally, fans called Xia Linxia “Xia Xia Baby,” but internally, they called her “Tiger Girl” because she was indeed fierce.

There had been paparazzi reports of Xia Linxia cursing out a co-actress on set and arguing with the director. Xia Linxia responded, “Joking, I wasn’t cursing, I was disciplining. And my argument with the director is none of your business. Did it involve your dad or take your job away?”

She wasn’t afraid of haters at all; the more they criticized her, the more she thrived on it. She loved to bicker with haters and gossip accounts on Weibo. Those who liked her praised her for being genuine and outspoken, while those who didn’t found countless faults with her.

At this moment, Ji Fengxue’s chat screen appeared on the broadcast, showing the contact name she had saved for Xia Linxia—simply “Xia Xia.”

Xia Linxia was taken aback. She had imagined countless cheesy nicknames Ji Fengxue might use to show off their affection, but she never expected it to be just those two simple characters. In the industry, very few people called her by that name; only her fans and family did.

[OMG! One is “Xia Xia,” and the other is “Xia Xia’s Big Baby”! I’m done. I’m dead. Please scatter my ashes in the Summer-Winter CP forum.]

[Xia Xia is our baby, but now Xia Xia has her own big baby, waaaah.]

[Ji Fengxue’s nickname style matches her personality, hahaha.]

[Did I just accidentally see the chat history? Xia Linxia sharing those toxic chicken soup articles, is she for real? Hahaha.]

Then came the part where the audience asked questions via the live chat.

The host asked, “Linxia, what’s your favorite movie of Teacher Ji’s?”

Xia Linxia mentioned the film for which Ji Fengxue had won the Best Actress award.

The host then asked, “Teacher Ji, when did you first become aware of Linxia?”

Ji Fengxue replied, “The talent show. I watched her on the talent show.”

Upon hearing this, Xia Linxia mentally rolled her eyes. Sure, she watched the show, but her eyes were always on someone else. Pfft.

The host continued, “Linxia, you and Teacher Ji…”

Xia Linxia: “Pfft.”

The host: “…”

Audience: ???

Fans: Hahaha, it’s definitely their familiar Tiger Girl!

Xia Linxia snapped back to reality and spat lightly in another direction. “Sorry, the tea leaves got stuck in my teeth.”

The live comments were filled with “hahahaha.”

Xia Linxia’s fans were exasperated: Tiger Girl, do you have any sense of decorum? You spat out tea leaves in a live broadcast with millions of viewers, right in front of your new girlfriend! Aren’t you afraid of getting dumped???

Ji Fengxue’s fans were worried about their idol’s future happiness.

Ji Fengxue herself: “…” Haha, covering face.jpg

After this little incident, the host continued with the questions. “Linxia, what’s the most memorable thing about Teacher Ji?”

The standard answer in the plan was being deeply impressed by Ji Fengxue’s acting during a visit to the set.

But Tiger Girl, known for being a rebel who could score zero even with the answers handed to her, said, “The most memorable thing? During the talent show, there was a voting segment, and she didn’t vote for me even once!”

[She’s jealous, she’s jealous, she’s jealous, she’s jealous!]

[Hahaha, I remember! Teacher Ji stayed up all night watching the show, voting and rallying votes. It was her first time being so down-to-earth!]

[Yes, Teacher Ji always voted for Xiao Yuran back then, and they became famous good friends!]

[As everyone knows, Xia Linxia and Xiao Yuran’s relationship fell apart. Whenever they appeared together, Xia Linxia never showed a friendly face.]

[So… why is Ji Fengxue with Xia Linxia and not Xiao Yuran?]

Seeing the topic heading in a bad direction, Chen Nian signaled to Ji Fengxue.

Ji Fengxue quickly responded, “My agent was a fan of Yuran and secretly logged into my account to vote.”

Chen Nian: “…” Sitting in the broadcast room, and the blame just falls from the sky?

Xia Linxia: “…” I don’t believe you. Still calling her Yuran, Yuran, huh? Pfft.

The host laughed, “I see. So, Teacher Ji, do you usually go online?”

Ji Fengxue: “No.”

Xia Linxia’s eyes widened, and she glanced at her in surprise. This woman, truly deserving of her Best Actress title, lied without blinking. Compared to her, Xia Linxia felt like a total amateur!

Xia Linxia still remembered that during the talent show, Ji Fengxue was always online, tracking the show’s progress. Whenever Xiao Yuran was attacked by haters, Ji Fengxue would visit the dorm to comfort her and give small gifts to the other contestants.

The gift Xia Linxia received was a baseball cap, and it was green. She was very displeased and decided to make others unhappy as well.

When many people gathered in the dorm to interact with this senior, Xia Linxia slapped the green cap on Xiao Yuran’s head and said with a grin, “Wow, only someone as pure and refined as you can pull off such a color. Keep it; it’ll come in handy someday.”

The room went silent, and everyone’s expressions were priceless.

Thinking back, did she really give Xiao Yuran a green hat?

Wait, although Ji Fengxue indeed liked Xiao Yuran, Xiao Yuran had never given a clear response over the years, so it wasn’t considered a relationship.

“Linxia, Linxia?” The host’s call pulled her back to reality. “What was the first gift Teacher Ji gave you?”

Xia Linxia replied, “A green hat.”

Ji Fengxue: “…”

[Hahaha, I’m going to die laughing! A green hat, really? This is nothing like the lovey-dovey interview we were promised, hahaha.]

[Teacher Ji, you’re something else! Is this to prepare Xia Linxia mentally in advance?]

[Curious about the hat’s style? Is there a link? I want to gift my girlfriend, dog head, jpg.]

[Laughing my head off. Suddenly, I feel like Summer-Winter is a perfect match! One’s a tiger girl, and the other’s a tiger-taming Wu Song. Who dares to gift her a green hat?]

The host couldn’t hold back his laughter and chuckled for half a minute before turning to Ji Fengxue. “So, Teacher Ji, what’s the most memorable thing about Linxia for you?”

Ji Fengxue thought seriously for a moment. Five years ago, the girl group talent show was a sensation that summer. At the time, she was hospitalized due to an injury from filming, and the TV in her hospital room happened to be playing the show. Her entire focus was on Xiao Yuran, indifferent to everyone else.

When it came to her most memorable moment with Xia Linxia, it was that she inexplicably became a target for Xia Linxia. Later, she found out that Xia Linxia had a bad relationship with Xiao Yuran, which extended to disliking her as well.

This collateral resentment almost left her speechless.

“Teacher Ji?” the host called again.

Ji Fengxue smiled and said, “There are too many to recall at once.”

The host responded, “Wow, it seems Linxia holds a significant place in Teacher Ji’s heart.”

Xia Linxia: Heh.

After the interview ended, the discussion in the live chat was so heated that it moved to Weibo.

Soon, hashtags like #SummerWinterConfirmed#, #JiFengxueGivesGreenHat#, and #SummerWinterRomance# dominated the trending list.

The general manager was pleased with the results, saying to the two of them, “The company didn’t pay for any bot traffic. These numbers are genuine, showing that the effect of this CP is evident. You need to keep it up, and the workload will increase.”

In other words, their interactions would become more frequent, starting with tonight’s dinner.

After changing into casual clothes, they waited at the company for the evening to come.

Xiang Huaimeng took her back to the office to discuss upcoming schedules. During their discussion, they suddenly heard Fu Xiaoxuan’s voice at the door: “Sister Xue!”

She signaled Xiang Huaimeng to stop talking and sneaked to the door, crouching to eavesdrop.

“Mmm, what a coincidence,” Ji Fengxue’s voice came closer and then stopped at her door.

Fu Xiaoxuan said worriedly, “Sister Xue, are you really dating Xia Linxia?”

“Mmm.”

“Xia Linxia isn’t suitable for you. She’s rough and has a bad temper. She even hit someone during our training. Oh, and Yuran seemed to have watched the live stream too. Didn’t she contact you?”

Then there was silence.

Xia Linxia opened the door, flexing her wrist, ready to pummel Fu Xiaoxuan. This girl was clearly doing this on purpose, deliberately standing at her door and bringing up Xiao Yuran to provoke her.

Although her relationship with Ji Fengxue was just contractual, she wouldn’t ignore someone clearly trying to cause trouble. Since Fu Xiaoxuan started it, she wouldn’t hold back.

Xia Linxia lazily tilted her neck, but her eyes were fierce, like she was about to show her claws.

Fu Xiaoxuan had been waiting for this moment!

The live stream staff were still packing up the equipment. If Xia Linxia hit her in front of Ji Fengxue and everyone, the trending topic would change immediately, and Ji Fengxue would see Xia Linxia’s ugly side, killing two birds with one stone!

Fu Xiaoxuan knew Xia Linxia’s character well; she never backed down. If she was provoked, she would retaliate immediately. So, if she could enrage her, the fight would be a success!

“Linxia!” Xiang Huaimeng also saw Xia Linxia’s posture, ready for a fight. If this was leaked by the live stream company, it would be a major scandal!

However, if Xia Linxia listened to her agent, she wouldn’t be Xia Linxia.

She grabbed Fu Xiaoxuan by the collar and lifted her up, looking down at her disdainfully. “How do you want to die?”

People noticed the commotion and turned to look. Even though they didn’t hear what was said, it was clear there was drama! The live stream company employees discreetly moved closer, hoping to catch some juicy content.

Fu Xiaoxuan secretly smiled, but outwardly she looked innocent. “Linxia, what are you doing? You’re hurting me.”

Xia Linxia moved her wrist slightly, ready to hit, but a cold hand suddenly covered hers.

She froze, looking to the side, distracted by the coldness of the hand. Why was this woman’s hand so cold?

Ji Fengxue smiled, “You two are standing too close. I’m getting jealous.”

Everyone quickly reacted, realizing that Xia Linxia and her former teammate were almost hugging, and Ji Fengxue was jealous. Girls often had close physical contact with their friends, but seeing Fairy Ji jealous was so cute!

Xia Linxia blinked, thinking: Don’t you have eyes? If this makes you jealous, then let me grab you.

With that thought, she released Fu Xiaoxuan and grabbed Ji Fengxue by the collar instead.

Before she could speak, Ji Fengxue said, “That’s not how you kiss.”

Xia Linxia: “?”

Ji Fengxue suddenly hugged her by the back and took a few steps backward, then turned to close the door, leaving a shocked Fu Xiaoxuan and a crowd expecting drama but getting sweetness instead.
