Chapter 1206: Gain Fans
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Sihwa was still broadcasting live. She had no idea what had happened in [Gluttonous X Fish]’s live broadcast room. She only saw many fans coming and going from her studio, one moment sending out the sentence, “Refusing to admit it no matter what!” and after a while, sending a phrase like, “Real hammer! Quickly go and watch!” and the next moment saying, “Don’t whip the corpse! It’s over!” She was puzzled by such bullet screens, but fans always said things she didn’t understand. She was used to it.
Not long after, the big group that had left temporarily all rushed back into her live broadcast room one by one.
“Where’s [Watermelon]? Did [Watermelon] come back yet?”
“Sihwa, who else verbally attacked you online? Say it all at once!”
“Sihwa, you know that [Watermelon] right? Are they your friend? Male or female?”
These bullet screens made her feel very confused.
She knew that an ID [Watermelon] occasionally came to her studio, but the problem was that this person was very disgusting, always criticizing her tastes and expressing all kinds of dissatisfaction, often making her extremely angry. The most important thing was that they never gave gifts. How could such a person be her friend?
As for the others who attacked her online…
Actually, she wanted to know, too!
In the Word doc.u.ment opened on the laptop screen, the name [Gluttonous X Fish] was written, along with information such as the person’s personal chat with some fans at some time of the day.
Sihwa could only play with mobile phones, not operate computers. Even mouse clicks had been taught to her by Zhang Zian at the last minute, not to mention the operation of page turning in Word.
She was also very anxious. She kept splas.h.i.+ng water at the bathroom door during the live broadcast, which meant she was asking Zhang Zian where he had gone off to and to hurry in and help her turn over the pages of Word. The problem was that no matter how much she gave secret signals, he didn’t respond, as if he had fallen asleep and never showed up.
The other elfins were also very quiet. She did not know what they were doing.
Just when she was about to lose her patience, Zhang Zian appeared at the door of the bathroom.
He frowned and looked at the water all over the floor, and then he looked at Sihwa, who was drowning and looking like she was about to explode in anger. He raised his hand to hold up a paper, and on the paper, it said: “[Gluttonous X Fish] has publicly admitted her mistake.”
Sihwa was stunned at first. After processing the meaning of these words, she smiled happily, feeling like her anger was gone.
Serves you right! Who asked you to slander me? Now you’re suffering karma!
Sihwa was delighted to announce her victory to her fans. Zhang Zian turned the paper over, and on the back of it, there were more words written: “Generously announce your forgiveness for her.”
Forgive her!
Why?
Sihwa, taking account of the fact that he brought good news to him, did not intend to pursue his disappearance just now, but when she saw this, she could not calm down.
I did not provoke her at all. She was slandering me and my innocence out of nowhere, so why do I need to forgive her?
Sihwa used her gaze to express her anger to him. There was no need to use words to explain.
Zhang Zian raised another piece of paper, which said: “It’s no fun beating a dead horse. She’s finished. This is your best chance to gain fans.”
Sihwa’s heart was moved, and her emotions that had been adding oil to the fire calmed down a bit.
She didn’t know [Gluttonous X Fish]. There was no deep hatred. It was only because she’d insulted her that she’d gotten angry. As Zhang Zian had said, beating a dead horse was not interesting and would not bring her economic benefits. It would be different if she could use the opportunity to gain fans.
Could she really?
She raised her eyebrow, expressing her suspicion.
Zhang Zian put down the paper and gave a thumbs-up to express that there was no problem.
Sihwa lowered her head, half in disbelief, and continued to look at her phone.
“Who was Sihwa making eyes and moving her eyebrows at? Why wasn’t she talking?”
“That’s right. Are there some secret words that are inconvenient for us to hear?”
“Sihwa’s expressions are so vibrant and cute!”
Bullet screens like that made Sihwa so angry she gritted her teeth. What were these people randomly thinking of?
She wanted to clarify these misunderstandings, but she also remembered that Zhang Zian had said that his existence and ident.i.ty could not be known to fans. Otherwise, fans might stop being fans and fewer people would give gifts, so she swallowed the words again.
“Cough! I heard, that [Gluttonous X Fish] admitted that she did it, right?” she asked.
The fans started to send out bullet screens, all suddenly very talkative.
“It’s already set in stone! She’s already totally dead!”
“She can change her name from now on to [Gluttonous Salty Fish]!”
“Sihwa, report it to the broadcasting platform. The broadcasting platform shouldn’t let it be. Have the platform ban her!”
“Right! I don’t want to see this kind of disgusting anchor ever again!”
Sihwa cleared her throat and announced, “I roughly understand the situation now. Since she admitted her mistake, the… I’ll not continue to pursue it further.”
A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and fans reacted more than when she had revealed [Gluttonous X Fish]’s ID.
“Ah?”
“What?”
“Why aren’t you pursuing it further?”
“She was backstabbing you, and yet you choose to forgive her?”
“It can’t be right! This isn’t how Sihwa normally does things…”
“That’s right. Chasing after her and scolding her is the kind of Sihwa I know…”
Most fans did not understand her choice, but there was a small portion of fans who praised it.
“I feel that what Sihwa did was right. Go easy on people!”
“Sihwa is really great. If it were me, I could not forgive her that easily.”
“Before this, I felt that Sihwa was a naïve little sweetie, but after this situation, I have to rethink my impression of her…”
At this time, they needed guide the public opinion. Otherwise, it would be very chaotic. But those closely involved could not see clearly, and Sihwa could not remember what to say for a moment.
She looked at the bathroom door again as if seeking help. This time, Zhang Zian did not disappear. He took a marker pen and wrote several lines on the paper to have her follow it and read it out.
“I think… Everyone makes mistakes, but knowing them and correcting them, great… for the greater good… I hope you will stop refusing to let her go, and not don’t go going… Going out for blood because… Everyone deserves a second chance…”
She stumbled over the words on the paper and finished reading them.
At this moment, the live broadcast room was quiet temporarily, and when the bullet screens started to appear again, the comments were totally leaning towards her side.
“Sihwa is really too kind!”
“Eh, I knew it when I saw her risking herself to save others.”
“Well, since Sihwa said so, I will not go to Weibo to do things. Originally, I had searched for that salted fish’s Weibo, ready to mount an attack…”
“Everyone is Sihwa’s fan. Don’t do anything that will harm Sihwa’s image!”
The fans were especially touched by Sihwa’s words, and they were very generous in giving a lot of gifts.
Most of the people that were pa.s.sing by just wanted to see an interesting drama. At that time, they were conquered by Sihwa’s kindness. They thought that she was not only beautiful, but also had a beautiful heart. They paid attention to Sihwa’s live broadcasting room.
Suddenly, there was a gift notification that attracted everyone’s attention.
“Thank you, Sihwa. I’ll always be your fan.” [Gluttonous Blue Fish] sent out a bear paw and left a comment.
