ISBH - Chapter 38

Chapter 38: False Accusation

For the next week, Han Tian felt as if she were truly dreaming.

As a devout mom fan, Han Tian would never in her wildest dreams have imagined that one day she would become Mo Sang's girlfriend fan...

After confirming her relationship with Mo Sang, Han Tian hardly even dared to open the Super Topic.

She had claimed Mo Sang, whom everyone loved, as her own, and the guilt was overwhelming, as if a group of people had promised together to guard a treasure, yet she had become the traitor who stole away the most dazzling jewel.

This was absolutely the boldest thing Professor Han had ever done in her life!

And ever since Mo Sang had reposted Han Tian's Weibo post last time, the fans browsing the Super Topic had become much more active, all beginning to hope they might be noticed by Mo Sang.

At the same time, some people were keen on scrolling through Han Tian's Weibo, wanting to figure out exactly who she was, yet Han Tian kept her main and alt accounts strictly separate. Her main account reposted popular science articles from the field of science, with a style full of old cadre airs. Her alt was entirely for fan worship, and for five years everything on that Weibo had been about Mo Sang, making her the most qualified fan worship follower.

Since everyone could find nothing worth digging into, they could only guess that the usually aloof Mo Sang had acted on a whim to dote on her fans.

Yet apart from that one time, Mo Sang had not posted on Weibo since.

Then Mo Sang Studio released news that set everyone buzzing. Mo Sang's new album would be released early next week!

This matter stole everyone's attention. Sang Sang was so busy that it was understandable she did not notice anyone. She must be working hard writing songs and recording the new album.

But in truth, Mo Sang, who was incomparably busy in the minds of her fans, had once again moved in next door to Han Tian. Compared to making an album, Mo Sang preferred to cook delicious food to feed the girlfriend she had finally managed to win over.

Han Tian spent years doing experiments at the Research Institute, and when she got busy she sometimes managed one meal but missed the next, so her stomach inevitably developed some trouble. After discovering this problem, Mo Sang devoted herself to nursing Han Tian's stomach back to health...

And as a girlfriend fan who had successfully risen to the top, Han Tian felt that although she had betrayed the fan organization, her sense of mission as a fan remained. When Mo Sang came with chicken soup to feed her, Han Tian began to probe sideways about Mo Sang's plans for the new album. "You stay with me every day. What about your new album..."

"It was recorded long ago. Right now they're just editing the music video, so there's basically nothing left for me to do..." Worried her girlfriend was not eating properly, Mo Sang had driven specially at noon to the Research Institute parking lot to bring her food. Hearing how much Han Tian cared about her, she curved her lips in an excellent mood and smiled, carefully feeding Han Tian the chicken soup. "Don't worry! I still have many unreleased songs saved up. Even if I slack off for three to five years, I can still guarantee my own exposure during that time..."

"Besides, I've earned quite a lot these past years. Even if I stop working in the entertainment industry, I can still support you..."

Even though she knew Mo Sang's talent was extraordinary, Han Tian was still startled by her words, and a mouthful of chicken soup went down the wrong way...

"Cough, cough... Don't you ever need to sleep?" Han Tian asked with tears streaming from choking, looking at Mo Sang through blurry eyes. "You have to film and record songs. How do you still have so much time to write songs..."

Startled by Han Tian's reaction, Mo Sang put down the spoon and patted her back to soothe her, the smile on her face fading a little. "Actually, in those past years my sleep was never very good. I couldn't sleep long each day..."

"When I couldn't sleep, I'd get up and write songs..."

...

The atmosphere froze for an instant.

Hearing Mo Sang say this, Han Tian lowered her head in shame.

When she was little, Mo Sang had always been a light sleeper, but she rarely suffered insomnia. The fact that she had suffered insomnia during the past five years was very likely because of Han Tian's departure.

Han Tian wanted to apologize, yet she did not know where to begin.

"Just take care of yourself and don't worry about me." Seeing that Han Tian had stopped coughing, Mo Sang scooped her another spoonful of chicken soup, and the smile returned to her face with a touch of smugness. "Anyway, you should know your girlfriend is amazing! After so many years in the entertainment industry, what storm have I not seen..."

Even though she knew Mo Sang was comforting her, thinking of this younger sister's wildly arrogant remarks from before, Han Tian could not help laughing.

It seemed that when she was with Mo Sang, each moment made her like her a little more than the last.

"But I'm happy to see Sister worry about me..." Seeing Han Tian's mood lift again, Mo Sang's eyes darkened. She set down the spoon and leaned over to nuzzle the hollow of Han Tian's neck, softening her voice to act spoiled. "Actually, I still can't sleep at night either..."

During this time, a certain little vixen had pestered Han Tian every day, saying she wanted to sleep together with her. Han Tian felt that things were already progressing beyond her expectations, so she refused no matter what, mustering all her willpower to resist the little vixen's temptation...

Now that Mo Sang brought up the old matter again, Han Tian's face instantly turned bright red, and she blurted out a refusal without thinking. "You, you wish..."

The chicken soup left to cool for a while had gone cold by now. Han Tian lowered her head and took the bowl, drinking it all in one go without stopping. Afraid Mo Sang might say something else embarrassing, she set down the soup, not daring to look at Mo Sang's expression, and turned to get out of the car...

"I still have work in the lab. There are many eyes here. You should head back early..."

Han Tian did not know if it was her imagination, but lately she always felt as if someone were watching her. She wondered if this was a stress reaction from being with a star.

Han Tian had mentioned the feeling to Mo Sang once, yet Mo Sang had told her not to worry...

Mo Sang caught hold of Han Tian's hand.

The little vixen lifted her chin slightly and looked at Han Tian pleadingly.

Han Tian lowered her head, her ears burning, and leaned over to plant a quick kiss on Mo Sang's cheek.

Even though they had kissed many times already, Han Tian still felt shy.

She did not dare to look at Mo Sang's reaction and hurried out of the car and ran into the elevator...

Mo Sang watched Han Tian's flustered retreating figure and touched the spot Han Tian had kissed, a faint smile curving her lips.

Sister was so cute! So cute that she did not want to be apart from Sister for a single moment.

Mo Sang sighed and started the car engine, her gaze sweeping casually across a corner of the parking lot, a shadow flickering swiftly through her eyes.

---

Once Han Tian threw herself into work, she forgot all outside distractions.

By the time Han Tian came out of the lab, it was almost time to get off work. This stretch was close to the idle hour, and most of her colleagues had relaxed. She did not know what news they were reading, only that for a moment all she could hear was them holding their phones and exclaiming, "Damn, damn."

Han Tian had planned to leave, yet she unexpectedly heard Mo Sang's name from their mouths.

"I never thought Mo Sang's background would be so tragic..."

"For news like this to come out just as Mo Sang is about to release a new album, someone must be trying to get her..."

"My goddess never admitted she was a rich beauty herself. Calling her a rich beauty was only a persona some fans imposed on Mo Sang..."

...

What had happened?

Han Tian's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively took out her mobile phone and opened Weibo!

The app that was usually smooth was now lagging terribly, and behind the topics #Mo Sang's Background# and #Mo Sang Suspected of Being Kept#, there was a bright red "Hot" tag.

Han Tian quickly pieced together what had happened.

It had all started with a revelation from a gossip account.

The gossip account had posted a Weibo post. It claimed to uphold an untainted persona, yet who would have thought Mo Sang was this kind of person! Unstan!

Then the gossip account posted several long images that tore apart Mo Sang's background in full detail. No one knew where the gossip account had found photos of Mo Sang when she was in her early teens. The little girl was thin and scrawny, with a red flower pinned to her dirty clothes, her sparse hair facing the camera...

The gossip account said this was a photo from Mo Sang's elementary school graduation, when Mo Sang already looked visibly impoverished, and then the gossip account posted another photo from her middle school graduation, in which Mo Sang already looked much prettier.

The words the gossip account wrote in the long images were highly inflammatory. How could a little girl orphaned and penniless afford to attend a music school?

It also claimed that according to Mo Sang's relatives, she always kept to herself and had rejected everyone who had wanted to adopt her.

If that were all, it might have been bearable.

Right after that, the gossip account went on to list without evidence several well known actresses in the industry who supposedly had financial backers, and finally revealed a set of photos. Mo Sang holding hands and shopping with someone, Mo Sang eating with someone, Mo Sang kissing someone in a car in a parking lot...

The gossip account concluded in the end. The reason Mo Sang was so popular was that she had always been kept by someone, and Mo Sang's orientation was actually toward women!

Even though the face of the person with Mo Sang had been blurred out, Han Tian recognized at a glance that it was herself!

No wonder she had felt someone following her all this time...

In a single afternoon, this revelation from the gossip account had already gathered over a hundred thousand comments.

There were simply too many explosive points in this Weibo post from the gossip account.

Because personas of stars in the entertainment industry had collapsed one after another over the years, people had subconsciously formed a preconceived impression of chaos about the entertainment industry.

The viciousness of the gossip account lay precisely here. It was true that Mo Sang had been poor in her youth, and it was true that she was with Han Tian, so when it smuggled in the private claim that Mo Sang was being kept, people would naturally take it as true!

Moreover, Mo Sang had risen far too fast over the years and had naturally blocked the way of certain people in the industry, so haters seized the chance to jump in, and for a time the top liked comments were all abusive comments cursing Mo Sang...

Even though fans listed Mo Sang's achievements over the years to rebut them, haters came up to hurl abuse, questioning whether Mo Sang had bribed judges to win awards, and suggesting the songs she had released over the years might have used a ghost singer...

Han Tian was nearly mad with anger!

She forced down her anger and opened the Super Topic, yet the situation inside the Super Topic was hardly better. Many said they could not accept such a Mo Sang and clamored that they would unstan.

Han Tian had never imagined things would develop to this point!

Han Tian immediately defended Mo Sang in the Super Topic. "Mo Sang isn't that kind of person!"

Yet as soon as Han Tian posted, attacks from some malicious new accounts followed.

"Stop whitewashing! Mo Sang is truly the number one white lotus in the entertainment industry..."

"No wonder she reposted your Weibo a while ago. Maybe she knew things were about to be exposed and wanted to pander to fans..."

"Exactly. After maintaining a lofty little fairy persona all these years, her image has collapsed now, right?"

...

Han Tian was shaking with anger. Seeing these vicious comments upset her so much, she could hardly imagine how sad Mo Sang would feel reading them...

Just as she was about to call Mo Sang, her ringtone suddenly sounded, and a call from "Girlfriend" came in at that very moment.

Mo Sang's voice on the phone sounded as calm as ever. "Have you finished work? I'm waiting for you in the parking lot..."
