Just as the entire internet was going crazy trying to identify the god-like handsome guy, Gu Nanci, who was originally thought to have walked straight in, suddenly paused. He stopped right beside Si Chang.
Looking at the stunningly beautiful young man who had suddenly appeared beside him, Si Chang couldn’t suppress the disgust and sense of crisis in his eyes. Just like that detestable face… if it existed, it would draw all the attention, leaving him with no chance to shine!
What were the staff doing? He was still here, and they actually let someone approach? And someone like this… No, he had to find a way to get rid of this person.
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Si Chang’s mind. However, before he could take any action, he heard the young man opposite him walk over slowly and say:
“Long time no see.”
Si Chang was momentarily confused. Did they know each other?
“Don’t remember me? The righteous passerby.” Gu Nanci half-lifted his eyelids, letting out a meaningful chuckle. His naturally rosy lips parted, looking impossibly beautiful.
Si Chang stared in disbelief for a few seconds before suddenly realizing that the exquisitely beautiful face bore some resemblance to a certain face in his memory. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out the words:
“You—you are—”
【!!! What’s going on?】
【Does the god-like handsome guy know Si Chang?】
【What are they talking about? Can the cameraman be more observant and get closer to film it clearly?!】
Following the trending posts, curious netizens who wanted to see just how good-looking the so-called “god-like handsome guy” was flooded into the live stream, causing the viewer count to skyrocket.
【Hah! I refuse to believe those damn trending topics. Let me see how good-looking he really is… Damn! That face is truly top-tier!】
【Speechless… With this level of looks, he’s absolutely killing it in Hongyu Entertainment!】
【I declare! From today on, this is my ultimate bias!】
【Finally, someone better-looking than that scumbag Gu Nanci has appeared! Hahaha, I no longer have to drool over his face while morally condemning him!】
【But, to be honest, the more I look at this face, the more familiar it seems…】
Just as the curious netizens went from disbelief to genuine admiration, celebrating that a high-value handsome guy had finally emerged to take over the role of Hongyu Entertainment’s visual center from the disgraced Gu Nanci, a clear and captivating voice rang out like a bolt from the blue:
“Weren’t you so passionate about spreading rumors online that I was a bully? Why are you acting like a quail now that we’ve met in person? That doesn’t fit your righteous passerby persona, does it?”
【…???】
【Just stunned.jpg】
【I’m a bit confused.】
Soon, Si Chang, with a dark expression, gave the netizens the answer, gritting his teeth and uttering each word with difficulty:
“Gu… Nan… Ci! It’s you!”
【Gu… Nan… Ci?】
【Is this an auditory hallucination or a dream?】
【Did Gu Nanci get plastic surgery???】
The entire internet fell silent.
The fans on-site were also dead quiet.
Everyone stared in disbelief at the young man who seemed completely reborn after just a few days.
Upon closer inspection, the contours of his face still bore traces of the former “Gu the Vase.”
However, it was as if dust had been wiped off a gemstone. His delicate features were now fully revealed for the first time, and his timid, dispirited demeanor had vanished completely. Even his gaze had changed entirely.
Elegant in posture, unrestrained and confident, he shone brilliantly from head to toe, capable of capturing everyone’s attention no matter where he was.
It really was Gu Nanci.
The disgraced artist Gu Nanci, whom everyone felt entitled to criticize and who was universally hated online.
However… anyone who has seen the young man today would find it impossible to connect him with the once timid and self-abasing “Gu the Vase,” who had nothing but a pretty face.
Si Chang barely managed to steady his emotions. After the initial guilt, a flash of malice crossed his mind. He seized the initiative, saying, “Gu Nanci, you really have no heart. Don’t you feel even a shred of remorse for bullying Chang Qian?”
Gu Nanci didn’t speak, only offering a faint, enigmatic smile.
That smile was unfathomable, making Si Chang even more uneasy and inexplicably unnerved. Flustered, Si Chang averted his gaze and angrily retorted, “I really don’t understand why dik would bring you back! How can you have the nerve to prepare for a comeback so shamelessly!”
“I don’t quite understand either,” Gu Nanci’s dark eyes turned icy in an instant. “How can someone who so shamelessly slanders and frames others have the audacity to participate?” he said coldly. “In the past, I didn’t have time to clear my name. I never expected you to escalate things, taking others’ kindness for granted.”
“Bullying? Do you think you can just make up any accusation by teaming up and taking turns?” Gu Nanci scoffed, his emotionless eyes fixed coldly on Si Chang, as if announcing an execution date. “Apologize publicly online by next week, and I might let your and Chang Qian’s slander slide. Otherwise, expect a lawyer’s letter!”
With that, ignoring Si Chang’s livid expression, he strode gracefully toward the company building.
Halfway there, as if remembering something, he paused and glanced at the stunned anti-fans holding black-and-white signs, who had been frozen in place since his arrival. The corners of his lips curled into a breathtakingly beautiful smile that could drown anyone in its charm.
The anti-fans held their breath, their inner voices screaming uncontrollably: Who could possibly resist this?!
A certain resolve within them began to waver.
But the next second, the stunning young man whispered like a demon:
“Thank you all for coming all this way. However, I prefer brighter colors, and—” Gu Nanci paused, scanning each person present with a serious yet playful glint in his narrow eyes, his tone teasing, “I hold grudges, and my memory is excellent. I hope the next time we meet, you’ll still be holding those signs. Don’t fall for me too quickly.”
The anti-fans: …Suddenly, they snapped back to reality.
Damn it! He really knows how to put on a show!!
…But why is this little thing so infuriatingly charming?!
They watched Gu Nanci leave, some even craning their necks unconsciously until he disappeared from sight before snapping back to reality.
A heated discussion erupted. Whether they were anti-fans holding signs or fans of other idols, everyone was talking about one name—Gu Nanci.
Even Si Chang’s fans didn’t notice when their idol left.
It couldn’t be helped—the impact of that face was simply too overwhelming. Coupled with the association to the once universally criticized “Gu the Vase,” the shockwave was nothing short of nuclear.
Meanwhile, the internet was in an uproar.
Fans who had been waiting for the live stream and curious onlookers drawn by the legendary looks fell silent, then disbelief, then descended into online frenzy.
Amusingly, under the hashtag #IsThisTheLegendaryGodTierLooks, another hashtag, #HolyShitIt’sGuNanci!, quickly rose alongside it.
The comments section was uniformly hilarious, reading like episodes of a surreal drama.
