The promotional video shoot lasted the whole day, and it wasn't until the afternoon that the director agreed to let them go. Xi Nian changed clothes and was about to leave when Jian Jie intercepted him at the door. She seemed to have rushed over, panting as she said, "X... Xi Nian, have you seen Weibo? Su Ge's fans are causing a fuss!"

Xi Nian's first reaction upon hearing this was that he was being dragged into another conflict. Jian Jie seemed to sense what he was thinking and quickly explained, "This time it has nothing to do with you. It's their own internal conflict. Quickly check Weibo and you'll see."

Xi Nian immediately logged into Weibo and understood what had happened. In short, this was an "unfortunate case" that had been inadvertently dragged into.

With the unexpected incident involving Shen Xilin, coupled with her agent's actions, how could the media not receive the news? Once it spread, almost everyone online knew about it, and the fans were in an uproar.

The damaged racing suit had been stored in the dressing room, but the CCTV at the entrance had been deliberately damaged and did not capture the culprit. Someone managed to retrieve the surveillance video from the sports hall, hoping to identify the culprit by examining the crowd in the corridor. However, this retrieval inadvertently exposed Su Ge.

It was a short video, not particularly dramatic, but to the fans, it was more chilling than any malicious words.

In the footage, a man walked towards the elevator surrounded by assistants. Recognizable by the customized suit, it was Su Ge. He held a blue gift box, glanced at it as he passed a trash can, then casually tossed it in.

Light and swift, with decisive actions.

The audio in the video wasn't very clear, but upon careful listening, snippets of conversation between Su Ge and his assistant could be vaguely heard.

—"After all, it was a gift from a fan... Threw it away... What a pity..."

—"What's there to pity... There are plenty on the streets..."

They quickly left, their figures disappearing at the end of the corridor.

To ordinary netizens, this was at most an act of moral degradation. After watching, they might curse a bit, laugh it off, and move on. It didn't seem worth dwelling on. However, unexpectedly, while everyone forgave Su Ge, his fans did not.

First, following their usual style, Su Ge's fans suspected it was fabricated and immediately had the video authenticated, only to find it unaltered. Then they began discussing it, saying the video wasn't clear enough, perhaps the item thrown wasn't the fan's gift, maybe it was just a regular box.

They came up with countless reasons, but then, one of Su Ge's biggest fans, "Su Xixi," silently changed her profile picture and deleted all her Weibo posts, leaving only a new post.

[ @Su Xixi

Honestly, I never thought I'd say goodbye to Su Ge like this. He debuted at seventeen, and now he's twenty-seven. I've been his fan for a whole decade, which may seem long or short.

I've seen the video, and there's no need for further speculation. Su Ge did indeed throw away the gift.

Because it was something I personally gave him. Blue with white polka dots, a yellow bow, inside a glass bottle, containing 9999 handmade stars, folded over two years.

Maybe it was too cheap, worthless even, so he threw it away.

When I watched the video, I sat in front of my computer all afternoon, feeling like a fool.

Saying I'm not sad would be a lie, but suddenly I feel a sense of relief. Over these years, I've tirelessly defended his reputation, staying up late to counter negative news, to fight off haters. Though I didn't realize it, I was exhausted. Especially when faced with undeniable evidence, I still had to find excuses for him, deceive myself, deceive others...
