After reading my mind, everyone collectively begged me to watch the drama unfold!

The four of them gathered and arrived at the studio, where they sat on the steps waiting for the host and mentors to arrive.

Lin Guiyi and Xu Jingxi sat on the edge of Class C, staring blankly at the door.

Soon the host and mentors came in, but Xiao Menghe was missing. The host told everyone that Xiao Menghe had left the show for some special reasons, but everyone knew the truth: Xiao Menghe had gone inside to work on the sewing machine.

The program has prepared 10 songs, with two performance teams for each song, resulting in a total of 20 teams competing against each other. Group A currently has 20 trainees who will choose which song they want to participate in by grabbing a flag. Of course, if they can't grab the flag for their favorite song, they'll have to grab the flag for another one.

Then the 20 members of Group A took turns selecting their teammates, and after that, the 20 teams were formed.

The band members discussed their roles within the group, including roles such as leader, lead vocalist, rapper, and center.

The event will then be performed live. A group of national producers will be organized to watch the performance and vote on-site.

After watching the performances of both groups, the audience can vote for their favorite trainee.

The backend system tallies the votes for each trainee, sums up the individual votes for each group, and the group with the most votes wins. The winning group receives an additional 1000 votes.

Finally, with the addition of an online individual voting channel, the top 60 trainees with the most votes will advance to the next round of performances. The other trainees will be ruthlessly eliminated.

The advancement process will be the same after that, except for the final.

The contestants listened attentively to these details, not missing a single one.

Hearing this, Lin Guiyi couldn't resist wanting to watch the drama unfold.

"Hey, you little rascal, bring me Bai Tingwen's melon."

Upon hearing that they were going to get some gossip about top celebrity Bai Tingwen, everyone's eyes lit up with excitement.

Bai Tingwen felt uneasy. Could it be about that matter? No way. Bai Tingwen could only barely suppress his unease.

Wow, Bai Tingwen claims to be single and a cute, innocent young man, but actually he's married with a 3-year-old child, and his wife isn't in the entertainment industry.

The couple is even planning to have a second child; poor fans who support him!

This news was like a bomb, leaving everyone's heads buzzing.

The other mentors glanced at Bai Tingwen discreetly. They were really surprised that he had kept it so well hidden, and no paparazzi had even exposed it.

The trainees were also shocked. Compared to Xiao Menghe before, everyone just watched the drama unfold, but now, Bai Tingwen is a top idol in an active boy band. Many young people regard him as an idol. It's no exaggeration to say that more than half of the people present are his fans.

These people's brains seem rusty, they can't process it, it must be fake, yes, fake.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Bai Tingwen knew they all knew, so he could only smile reassuringly at the trainees, knowing that some of them were his fans.

Bai Tingwen knew that once the crowd dispersed, his revelations would inevitably surface online. He quietly signaled to his assistant outside the venue. Lin Guiyi watched this scene silently as the assistant quietly slipped away, presumably to find his agent.

The host was furious; nobody had told her that Lin Guiyi would be an exception. She could only bravely draw everyone's attention back to the flow of the show. After the trainees had chosen their songs and it was confirmed that the first performance would take place in five days, she was quickly relieved.

Once out of the mentors' sight, the trainees began to whisper among themselves.

A bold girl approached Lin Guiyi and shouted, "Lin Guiyi, you just said on stage, cough cough," but the girl's throat seemed to be blocked, and she couldn't make a sound.

The girl quickly gave up what she wanted to say. Seeing Lin Guiyi's puzzled expression, she could only leave helplessly.

Some trainees hurried back to their dorms, took out their phones, and went online. Upon opening Weibo, they saw several trending topics in red; clicking on them revealed they were all about Bai Tingwen's secret marriage and child.

Meanwhile, Lin Guiyi and his three friends returned to their dormitory. They all took out their spare phones, exchanged smiles, and then started browsing Weibo's trending topics.

The top trending topic on Weibo is: Top celebrity Bai Tingwen officially announces his marriage and the birth of his child. The entire announcement expresses that he and his wife have been in love since high school, and that they are in a relationship where the woman is older than the man. They overcame many obstacles to stay together, and he wrote about many moments of their love. Finally, he told his fans to be rational, seemingly trying to shift the focus of netizens and fans to his beautiful love story, and to say that he kept his marriage a secret because he loves his fans.

Lin Guiyi scrolled through these trending search terms and couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle.

Bai Tingwen inevitably lost a lot of fans. Most fans said they could not accept that their brother was already married and even had a three-year-old child. However, some fans still insisted on defending their brother.

Some passersby felt that it was perfectly normal for someone to get married and have children when they were almost 30. Various netizens, fans, and passersby expressed their opinions, and the comment section became noisy and filled with arguments.

As Lin Gui was scrolling through the page, he clicked on a trending topic that was gaining popularity. It turned out to be a big fan's announcement of unfollowing him.

I've supported Bai Tingwen since his debut and have done so much for him. I truly never imagined he would deceive his fans. He consistently stated on various social media platforms that he had never been in a relationship and was single, but the result was a slap in the face. He was deeply in love with his girlfriend in high school, and his fans tirelessly voted for him, spending money and time to support him. They worked hard to get him into the industry, worried about him being mistreated, and saved money to buy him endorsements so he could achieve good results. They propelled him to the top. Yet, he tells two different stories: he's married to his girlfriend, has children, and seems perfectly happy, enjoying both love and career success.

Now, many uninformed bystanders are commenting that fans are meddling too much. Getting married and having children are minor matters, but from the beginning, it was all your fault, Bai Tingwen. You were the one who hid your relationship first. You knew your fans wouldn't accept it, but you still did it. You just wanted your fans to give everything for you and increase your value. You could have announced it officially from the beginning; no one forced you, but you didn't. You wanted to have it both ways.

In this whole affair, only innocent fans got hurt. Bai Tingwen, you're a truly selfish, hypocritical, hypocritical, disgusting scoundrel. Look, the fans are being attacked, and you don't do anything about it, hiding in the background. So disappointing.

Many fans shared their stories in the comments section below.

[Yes, what did we fans do wrong? There are all sorts of criticisms after this happened. Wasn't all of this Bai Tingwen's own choice?]

The fans are truly innocent.

The surge in popularity following the announcement by a major fan led to many more fans unfollowing the account.

Lin Guiyi looked at these fans with great satisfaction. Ah, rational fans.

People seem to only see the weak side, but not the scarred back behind the strong.
