Immediately after, Sophie Kenwick told Josh Batton about her Weibo experience earlier.
He raised his brows slightly when he heard this. “I’d like to apologize to you on their behalf.”
“Forget it, this has nothing to do with you,” Sophie said.
Josh didn’t say anything further and directly opened his Weibo page.
Xyla Quest swiftly sat down next to Sophie and held her hand kindly. “Don’t worry about those hateful comments online. They’re just a bunch of brainless keyboard warriors.”
“Okay.”
“They’ll quiet down once you post a picture of yourself with Josh later,” Xyla added.
Sophie nodded immediately. “Okay, that makes sense. I just want to embarrass these keyboard warriors as they annoy me so much.
"I don’t understand what’s wrong with me writing about how I feel on Weibo. It’s not like I’m causing any trouble.
"I’m only publishing it on my page, so why are they criticizing and accusing me of trying to get popular?” Sophie asked.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she felt.
Xyla chuckled. “All right, don’t be upset, Soph.”
As they spoke, Sophie’s phone vibrated.
She then saw that Josh had followed her on Weibo.
Suddenly, her heart began pounding at the thought that her idol had followed her.
It felt amazing!
Apart from feeling ecstatic, she also felt touched when she realized that he did that so that his fans would stop terrorizing her.
“I’m sorry for doubting you.”
Many of the people who sent Sophie private messages were the ones who called her out before.
Sophie could recognize all of them.
She could not believe how quickly the tides had turned on her Weibo page, the way everybody's attitude changed.
She scratched her head again before thoroughly reading through the comments.
Those who had criticized her before were now humbly apologizing to her. None of them were acting as arrogant as they did before.
Some of them even started begging her—
“Please, can we be friends? As long as you’re willing to be my friend, I’ll do anything you ask me to.”
