<h4>Chapter 1648: Epilogue (21)</h4>


    What did she think?


    She was the one he was marrying, of course she was ecstatic!


    But as his fan, Shi Nianyao felt that if her idol had been getting married to someone else, she would have wished him all the best even if she felt sad.


    As she thought about this, Pu Yun sent another message. [It’s getting chaotic on the WeChat group.]


    Shi Nianyao paused and went into Mo Xicheng’s fanbase WeChat group.


    She realized that a few of the older fans had started an argument.


    [There’s nothing wrong with our idol choosing to get married. We have to show some understanding.]


    [Yeah, yeah, yeah. You are so understanding and we aren’t. He used to belong to all of us, but now he’s going to belong to just one person, aren’t you even a little sad?]


    [Of course I’m sad, but we have to respect his choice.]


    [...]


    They went back and forth. O0ne of the long-time fans, who had started liking Mo Xicheng and pursuing him at around the same time that Shi Nianyao had, suddenlymented:


    [To be honest, our idol was going nowhere for all these years and I never abandoned him. I even felt the injustice on his behalf sometimes. I felt sad for him and troubled that he wasn’t more popr, so I worked hard to promote him in order to make people like him. But what was he doing while I was putting in all this effort for him? Now I know. It’s not that he wasn’t capable of being popr, but rather that he didn’t want to. I suddenly feel that everything I’ve done is a joke. Actually we, the long-time fans, don’t mean much to him. Now he’s finally regained his position and we are happy, but what about him? He doesn’t focus on his acting and instead is going to get married. Can it possibly mean that he changed so much, or even got so popr all of a sudden, for the sake of his wife-to-be, and not us? I’m a little disappointed and I don’t think I want to stan him anymore for now. He can marry whoever he wants, or not. Likewise, we can stan whoever we want, or not. Hence, I do apologize.]


    After this very long message was sent, she left the group.


    When this happened, the group chat turned silent.


    This became thest message in the chat room.


    Pu Yun then chatted with Shi Nianyao privately. [A few of the older fans in the group have sent me private messages to say that they’re leaving the fandom.]


    Shi Nianyao was saddened at once to hear this.


    They were in the group because they liked Mo Xicheng, but now the man was soon bing hers only. An inexplicable feeling came over her.


    She asked hesitantly, [What about you?]


    Pu Yun was silent for some time before she replied, [I’m not sure.]


    Then she fell into a long silence again.


    Meanwhile, a few of the older fans left the WeChat group too.


    Shi Nianyao tossed her cell phone aside, extremely disappointed.


    She started to panic a little and lost focus. Was this what they called having cold feet? Or perhaps she was just affected by what had happened in the groupchat.


    Lying on the bed, she couldn’t help reaching out for the cell phone again, to read everyone’s messages.


    Then she realized that Pu Yun had left a message in the groupchat.
