    Chapter Index

    From the gate of No. 3 Middle School to the city, you will pass the Mochizuki River that runs through Taki City.

    Wangyue River is a famous place for lovers, and it is overcrowded during holidays, especially on the first and fifteenth day of each month. Vendors of all sizes will come out and line up in an orderly manner along the riverside in a long market lit with traditional paper lanterns. Looking down from the aerial photo, it looks like the Milky Way carved in the human world, dazzling and beautiful.

    Last year, it was even selected as one of the top 100 must-visit attractions in the country by a well-known entertainment magazine.

    However, the Wangyue River has been under renovation since the end of last year. Except for the public bridge, both sides of the river are prohibited to pedestrians. In addition, it is during work and school hours. When Xue Zhiyou walked onto the bridge, there was no one else but her.

    Due to the heavy rain just a few days ago, the river water was mixed with a large amount of sediment from the upper reaches and rolled down, and the water volume was much higher than usual.

    The river water is not clear, just like my own life.

    Thinking about it, Xue Zhiyou suddenly smiled.

    She took a step forward and placed her hands on the concrete side wall.

    As long as she stands up and jumps down, will everything be liberated?

    As soon as this idea was formed, it accelerated like a runaway train off the track…until it was overturned.

    Just when Xue Zhiyou was about to put his thoughts into action, a video suddenly appeared on the big screen on the outer wall of the mall not far away.

    “So how do you deal with negative reviews?”

    “Facing negative reviews? Why should I face negative reviews?” The boy, who still looks a bit green but can vaguely see the outlines of an outstanding future, curled his lips slightly and made a disdainful expression.”If it’s an opinion, I accept it humbly, but now many people seem to use the Internet as an outlet to vent their emotions, and as public figures, we are treated as a doormat for various strange reasons.”

    The host was obviously a little stunned. The camera zoomed in and focused on the young man to take a closer look at the almost flawless handsome facial features.

    “But why? Why should I bear those negative emotions that have nothing to do with me?”

    “Yes, I admit that I still have many shortcomings, and these shortcomings are the parts that I should improve. But more importantly, for those malicious speculations, false assumptions, and even unreasonable attacks on life, I think it is just a manifestation of a loser who feels good about himself.”

    “Exalt yourself by denying others.”

    “The harsher you scold me, the more it proves how much of a failure you are.”

    After saying this sternly, the expressionless boy suddenly laughed.

    The curved arc looked like a rainbow to Xue Zhiyou.

    A rainbow appears in the storm, breaking through the dark clouds and bringing hope.

    “I can’t control what other people think of me, but I can decide for myself how I want to live.” The young man showed his bright white teeth, and his original indifferent temperament faded away like melting ice, revealing the high-spirited and wanton publicity unique to young people of this age.”I will definitely live better than those people!”

    The boy’s name is Yi Lang.

    He is the same age as Seol Zhiyou, and he was the contestant who overwhelmingly came out on top in this summer’s popular high school talent show.

    It can be said that Yi Lang alone brought about the popularity of this show.

    In the past few years, when various talent shows have flourished, the audience has been very interested at the beginning but has actually developed aesthetic fatigue later on. Especially in the environment of excessive marketing and capital strife in the later period, the conditions and strength of the players themselves have been relatively weakened. Instead, the characters created by scripts and editing are more likely to stand out. The design of the competition system often allows fans to invest a lot of money and time in a short period of time, but it is easy to create a dilemma that is once popular but cannot be sustained.

    This is probably what the saying goes, one works hard, then dies, and three times it is exhausted.

    Especially in this era, the entertainment industry and the Internet have combined with each other, creating huge business opportunities. At the same time, it has also made people subconsciously seek speed and change. As a result, some traditional things have gradually been forgotten.

    But like a pendulum.

    Go to one extreme, and the power of the other will increase accordingly.

    After the craze for the talent show gradually faded away, the high school talent show that Yi Lang participated in was just a program that was only broadcast on special online platforms, and there was no splash.

    And I was laughed at so much at the beginning. It was more of a talent show than a talent show.

    What it sells is the passionate youth of high school boys.

    After the first episode had a relatively watchable number of views, the data went from bad to worse, and there was no popularity at all. It was overestimated to describe it as a hit. Just when even the program team was about to delete the number of episodes because they could not bear the pressure, unexpectedly, one of Yi Lang’s videos went viral.

    It was a video of a young man playing and singing to himself under the locust tree outside his dormitory.

    To be fair, the voice of a man who is in the period of changing his voice is not very good, and his guitar playing is not very good, and he occasionally falls out of tune. However, perhaps because it happened to be a full moon that day, the hazy moonlight gave the entire painting a mysterious and sad atmosphere. The only bright color was a young man bathed in the bright moonlight, wearing a white shirt, sitting casually, playing the guitar and humming.

    Yi Lang became popular like this.

    In the next ten years, he flourished in the entertainment industry as an idol, with advertising endorsements, dramas, movies, single albums… Later, someone described Yi Lang as a “phenomenal” idol. Although he did not have a good singing voice or outstanding acting skills, he always knew his idol positioning and made good use of his huge fan power to remain invincible.

    Although he has never won a decent award, his name is unknown to everyone.

    In the ten years since his debut, he has never had any scandals. His private life is so clean that even the all-pervasive paparazzi are willing to bow down to him. He lives a balanced life between the workplace and his home every day. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the most dedicated idol.

    At the same time, his business ability is good, his work performance is one thing, but his attitude is never sloppy, and he is also very good at taking care of the fans’ mood. He can close the distance without being too ambiguous, so that the show fans who once liked the new and disliked the old have become die-hard fans one by one.

    In the past ten years, Xue Zhiyou has witnessed his glory.

    Because of Yi Lang, in her second year of high school, she did not end her life in the river. Instead, she chose to face the difficult situation with strength and live bravely.

    She can’t be sorry to her parents, let alone herself.

    With just one thought, life will undergo a positive change.

    After discussing with his parents, Xue Zhiyou transferred to another school and said goodbye to the past by changing the environment.

    In fact, she could have gradually returned to normal after stopping the medication, but because of her fragile mental state, she chose to take snacks and desserts as comfort. The more sad she was, the more she ate. In the end, she got out of control and her entire figure was completely out of shape.

    Once she began to exercise restraint and learned to use exercise to relieve stress and withdrawal reactions, the effects were quickly apparent.

    By the time she graduated from high school and entered college, Xue Zhiyou had already lost a lot of weight, and her previous problem of dull skin color had been greatly improved. She had a good foundation since she was a child, and she had strong repair ability at a young age. Although she was still a bit rich, her round and cute appearance was unexpectedly popular.

    Only then did Xue Zhiyou realize that there were some things that he had to do reluctantly, but there were some things that as long as he was willing to make changes, he could hold hope in his own hands, just like what Yi Lang said back then.

    She can’t decide what others think, but she can decide how she lives.

    After all, Xue Zhiyou has been a fan of Yi Lang for ten years.
