Not long after Ye Zexi's performance that night, the high-definition clip of Ye Zexi's "Gurenge + Gokuraku Judou" was posted on the Internet.

Compared with the livestream, the short clip is more high-definition, and the clip only features Ye Zexi from the beginning to the end. There is no camera switching like the livestream, and all the stage performances of Ye Zexi are recorded throughout the whole process.

It was more intuitive and shocking.

Ye Zexi's delicate facial features were magnified, and even the sweat drops from his forehead could be seen clearly.

Whether it was his facial expression or dance moves, every frame of the clip could be saved as a wallpaper avatar.

Ye Zexi sang and danced, the whole clip was online, and the dance moves were in place.

Less than half an hour after the video was released, there were over 10,000 likes and comments, and soon it was recommended on the homepage of a video platform.

Countless fans went to check in and review, and it also attracted countless passersby and otakus.

The deep voice and the energetic dance steps are way better than any female performances, and the hearts of the otakus are throbbing.

The comment section was all:

"Fuck! Why is my heart beating so fast! I am straight!"

"Sure enough, only men understand men! I love his shoulders shaking!"

"awsl."

Even more straight guys bluntly said:

"Ye Zexi, good brother, I announce that you have one more fanboy!"

"Upstairs, me too, another new fanboy is reporting!"

"Fanboy +1."

"+10086"

"For this dance, I will vote for you to have your C debut!"

More and more people liked to vote and reposted. In one day, this video rushed to the top five videos with most views of the whole station. The tag #Ye Zexi's Gokuraku Joudo# was staying high on the hot search list of the day.

The next day, the video playback exceeded 10 million views, and the number of likes reached one million.

No one thought that Ye Zexi would attract that many fanboys with just a dance!

Ye Zexi's personal Weibo has increased by nearly one million fans, not to mention, even the comment area was occupied by male fans.

As soon as one were to open the comment area, it would be all straight men's comments:

"Brother Ye Zexi, do your best!"

"I vote for you, buddy, you must debut!"

"What dance will he dance next? "Renai Circulation"? Looking forward to it.jpg."

Overnight, even Ye Zexi's fanclub was established under the formation of male fans. Female fans could only stand aside, and everyone was stunned.

On Saturday the next day, the second stage performance was split into two videos. The post production team had to work overtime to finish the two videos on time, and those videos went online at 8 o'clock in the evening.

They only got posted for less than an hour, and the volume of views hit a new high.

During the Ye Zexi segment, the whole screen was occupied by the comments, all of which were cheering from fans.

Ye Zexi segment of the performance had its own separate clip, and the major marketing accounts rushed to promote it.

The degree of discussion on social media was very high, and various GIF emoticons were popping all over the net, and Ye Zexi literally debuted before making it official.

A female fan was dumbfounded, couldn't help but posted a Weibo on Chaohua—— [1]

"I seriously suspect that Ye Zexi gave up the previous advance in the second performance just to dance for us!"

Hot comments: Be confident and have no doubts.

This Weibo comment was quickly reposted by others and became popular again.

Yu Yan, a social media expert who loves browsing the net, was secretly relieved when he saw this Weibo.

Fortunately, Ye Zexi is not interested in him!

Actually, he had already practiced his lines on how to refuse the other!

However, Yu Yan understood well how he was able to obtain his current ranking, so he was still very grateful for Ye Zexi.

It's just that Yu Yan rarely talks to Ye Zexi, so he can't directly go knocking on the other's door. After thinking about it, Yu Yan went to Tang Jing.

After listening to Yu Yan's intention, Tang Jing's expression was very complicated.

Regarding Ye Zexi's popularity, Tang Jing had expected it, but to say he was not jealous, it was a lie.

The scene of Ye Zexi talking with Tang Jing on the night of the second performance was also captured by the cameraman. The episode was released the next day, and some netizens specially edited this segment and posted a Weibo: Look like Tang Jing and Ye Zexi have a good relationship?

In the clip, two handsome guys of different temperaments, one cold and the other ostentatious, the two of them looked at each other tacitly and smiled.

There was no audio at the scene, and no one could hear what they were talking about, but they could read a hint of appreciation from the two's smiling eyes.

It can be said that the one person that every Tang Jing fan hates most. If Ye Zexi ranks second, then no one dares to rank first.

This person who frequently harasses their brother, even if he is a rich second generation, his crimes are too numerous to count in the eyes of the fans.

At the concert last week, Ye Zexi even used the pursuit of Tang Jing to clear his name!

The fans are itching with hate, but the number of Tang Jing fans is really not as good as the number of passerby netizens. In most cases, whenever they speak their bad opinions of Ye Zexi, it would definitely fall to deaf ears or be ignored.

Sometimes, when their comments of Ye Zexi's harassing crimes against Tang Jing were being recognized, there would always be a group of netizens leaving below comments:

"Ye Zexi has already apologized, you have to forgive and forget it."

"Yes, even Tang Jing said that they are cool now."

"Who doesn't have a dark past, the fans should let this go."

Tang Jing fans suddenly became more angry, but they were outnumbered. Therefore, the fans could only hold the idea of forbearance for a while and looked forward to Tang Jing's amazing performance in the second liveshow.

After all, everyone knows how Ye Zexi got the first place in the first performance, but is it just to deliberately mislead the marketing?

What fans never expected was that this was the case for the second liveshow.

Did Tang Jing surprise everyone?

At least his fans thought it was amazing.

What about Ye Zexi?

Countless Tang fans were silent.

Ye Zexi was so amazing!

When Ye Zexi took the initiative to withdraw from the promotion, countless Tang fans were very happy. They looked forward to Ye Zexi's elimination.

But who would have thought, in the defeated group PK, Ye Zexi unexpectedly gave such a performance!

The Tang fans felt like they just got slapped in the face. Many fans almost didn't know how to react when watching the livestream!

Ye Zexi danced so well! With such difficult dance movements, he could even sing and dance, without shaking the high notes!

At that moment, the fans knew that Ye Zexi was really capable and was worthy to be their brother's rival.

Ye Zexi once again became the No. 1, and the Tang fans didn't dare to say anything.

Until, the Tang fans saw the video of Ye Zexi and Tang Jing looking at each other and smiling.

--Fuck me!

--Tang Jing is so handsome! Ye Zexi's looks are also amazing!

--Why didn't I notice this before!

--They both gave off this harmonizing feeling when smiling at each other!

--This feeling is an absolute...CP feeling!

Not only Tang Jing's fans were aware of this, but countless passers-by watched the screenshot of the two smiling at each other, and their hearts were throbbing.

--This is too sweet!

--Such a good match!

--What's more, Ye Zexi had always liked Tang Jing before.

--Does this smile also mean that Ye Zexi hasn't let go of Tang Jing?!

--The more I think about it, the more exciting it becomes, the more I think about it, the more exciting it becomes.

The beating hearts of the fujoshi [2] couldn't hold back, and "XiTang CP" was born!

Xi is Ye Zexi, Tang is naturally Tang Jing! Tang Jing fans call themselves Tang (candy), and Tang Tang is also another name for Tang Jing.

XiTang XiTang, also known as wedding candy! Isn't that just so sweet!

In less than half a day, XiTang CP has a small scale.

Through the hot search, Ye Zexi's Weibo fans have skyrocketed, and because of this Weibo, Tang Jing's Weibo fans have also increased by nearly 100,000.

Majority of them are from the newly created XiTang CP fans.

Tang Jing also read Weibo, and when he saw the CP fans of himself and Ye Zexi, he felt a little bit ridiculous.

Soon, he received a call from his agent, and it was about the CP fans.

According to the agent's meaning, CP fans are not bad, it is a good opportunity.

At this junction of his career, Ye Zexi is very popular. Others dream of wanting to be tied up with Ye Zexi, but Tang Jing didn't have to do anything, yet he still got some of that popularity. So why not?

But after all, the agent also knew what Ye Zexi did before, so this call was to calm Tang Jing's emotions, telling him to not get angry, don't read Weibo, and prepare for the contest.

But why should Tang Jing be angry about it?

It's him who gets the benefit. If he gets angry, it will be too hypocritical of him.

What's more, Ye Zexi had already said that he would never harass him again.

Talking about that, he hadn't received the nightly "good night" WeChat for more than ten days, right?

Thinking of this, Tang Jing felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

Also, why is it XiTang?

Ye Zexi is a top?

Thinking of this, Tang Jing suddenly returned to his senses, what was he thinking!

Tang Jing felt a little hot, a little ashamed, and forced his attention back to reality.

Looking at the expectant Yu Yan in front of him, Tang Jing's expression was somewhat unnatural: "Isn't there a farewell party tonight? You can thank Ye Zexi yourself, so that it doesn't seem like you are being too sudden."

Yu Yan frowned, he didn't care about being too sudden, he was just embarrassed!

Without waiting for him to explain, Tang Jing turned around and left.

Yu Yan suddenly lowered his head.

What should I do?

*

After the second episode of "Time Idol", the viewing rate of the program had been soaring. Li Changjian was happy and gave all the contestants a day off on Sunday.

Contestants were free to do whatever they want on this day off, but the range of activities was limited within the villa.

And on Sunday night, a small banquet would be held to send off He Jinyun.

No need to get up early to train, the contestants were very happy.

Ye Zexi was even happier, since he could be lazy.

And this would also be his first wine party!

Some time ago, although there was no restriction on what he eats every day, he definitely could not touch alcohol.

Ye Zexi hadn't tasted alcohol for a long time, so he really missed it!

Li Changjian was really willing to take out all the good wines he had collected over the years, but there was also a restriction, that was: minors can't drink.

Of the remaining twenty-five contestants, there were two underage contestants, so when everyone toasted, the two could only smile bitterly and toasted with their juice.

Ye Zexi just wanted to drink to his heart's content, instead of sitting with everyone, he took a glass of wine and sat down on the sofa in the corner.

He sipped on the wine while reading Weibo.

Ye Zexi was surprised at the fact that he had more male fans, but he quickly accepted it.

Looking at the comments of various straight men in the comment area, Ye Zexi was really amused.

What Ye Zexi never expected was that he actually had CP fans with Tang Jing!

Fans are too discerning!

Just when Ye Zexi was wondering whether to give a thumbs up to CP fans' posts, the light in front of him suddenly dimmed.

Ye Zexi raised his eyes and saw the uninvited He Jinyun.

The man was dressed in a black suit. Expensive fabrics made his figure more upright. The man is nearly 190 centimeters tall. With him standing in front of people, it gave them an invisible oppressive feeling.

Ye Zexi frowned.

He Jinyun naturally sat down next to Ye Zexi, and raised his heroic brows slightly: "I..."

"I'm not interested in the movie." Ye Zexi interrupted He Jinyun's words righteously.

He Jinyun was taken aback first, then smiled. His thin lips evoked a nice arc, and a smile appeared in his deep eyes: "No, you've misunderstood."

Ye Zexi said suspiciously: "Huh?"

He Jinyun put down the wine glass, and the assistant next to him handed over a piece of information. He Jinyun pushed the information in front of Ye Zexi.

The man's voice was low and sweet: "It's an endorsement, are you interested?"
