Birth of a Top Superstar 7

Weibo’s servers nearly crashed under the flood of angry comments.

The top three trending topics were all about them.

Some people claimed they were so mad at Eric and Samson they couldn’t even breathe.

Then Ryan Tian and Jason Zhong posted their own statements on Weibo.

They sternly condemned Eric and Samson’s uncivilized behavior.

They added that as entertainers, you have to be a good person who brings positive energy to fans before you can be an idol...

Netizens poured out heartfelt sympathy for the FuFei duo.

They said that only by comparing the two sides could you see the difference between people with and without ‘quality’...

Lily Bai told River Li to buy up hot search slots—he went ahead and grabbed both fourth and fifth, filling them with Dragon Abyss’s online release date and related news.

River Li was speechless.

But seeing Lily Bai so calm, he started to feel a glimmer of hope. Outwardly, he looked world-weary, but secretly he didn’t slack off on any of the prep work.

For several days straight, the two boys stayed in the top five blacklisted hot searches.

All kinds of media and public opinion tore them to shreds.

Eric Lan didn’t even dare go home—he dragged his luggage and fled to Dragon Mountain Hills.

Samson Zhang was instantly annoyed when he saw him. "Why aren’t you going home? Why do you have to squeeze in here? There are already too many people living here!"

"I’m not crashing at your place! Lily doesn’t mind, so why do you care?" He looked smug. "Right, sis?"

Lily Bai: "...Are you just scared to go home?"

Eric bit his lip. "...Just listen."

He pulled out his phone and played a voice message.

Lily Bai heard her uncle’s voice: "Eric Lan! What kind of trouble are you stirring up now? Get back here and explain yourself! Or I’ll shoot you!"

"And another thing." Eric played another voice message, this time from his older cousin, whose deep, magnetic voice warned, "Eric Lan! If you keep ignoring the family’s calls, I’ll use military tracking gear to hunt you down. If I find you... you know what’ll happen."

Lily gave him a look full of sympathy.

Poor guy, he really has it rough!

Even military-grade equipment is on the table.

"You hear that? I really don’t dare go home, and I don’t even dare pick up their calls!" Eric pleaded. "Let me crash here for a few days! Only here is safe!"

Lily nodded and pointed to a spare room. "Go stay in that one! If you need anything... go down the mountain and buy it yourself."

"Sis, you’re the best." He dashed off, thrilled.

Samson Zhang had no interest in living under the same roof. He chased after Eric and demanded, "Eric Lan, even if you’re scared to go home, don’t you have loads of playboy friends? Why not freeload at their places? Why come here?"

"You don’t get it! If I crash at anyone else’s place, once my family tracks me down, it’ll drag them into trouble. Only here at Lily’s is safe—she’s the Crown Princess, and they wouldn’t dare mess with her."

"Do you have to be so dramatic? What if they find you—are they going to fire missiles at you or something?"

"Shut up, Samson Zhang! Are you really that unwelcoming?"

Samson: "Obviously."

"Ha! That’s exactly why I came. If making you miserable makes me happy, I’m all in!"

Samson just looked at him, totally frustrated.

"What’s wrong? Frustrated, huh?" Eric said proudly. "If you’re that upset, you can leave! I’ll even pay for your hotel."

"Why should I be the one to leave?"

Eric ignored him, flipped back the quilt, and plopped down on the bed.

"Ah!" He screamed as soon as he lay down. "What the heck is that?!"
