Truth to be told, the animal actors for various animal movies had left the audience with an idea of how smart they were, but when the audience watched the commercial from Excellence, they were truly and honestly shocked again. They also remembered, once again, how the white puppy had kept surprising them in jaw-dropping ways time and time again while filming that episode of Hello, World.
The commercial did add in some special effects, but the puppy’s expressions and actions were real.
He had worn a bitter and forlorn expression at the beginning after he had fallen on hard times and his eyes had been filled with self-pity. Then he had met the doggie princess and those puppy eyes had immediately lit up, as if fireworks were exploding inside them!
The determination on his face when he climbed the “mountain” and then the look of a dog deeply in love as he faced the doggie princess…
“This is a puppy that beats most of the entertainment circle in acting skills…”
“If the shots hadn’t been set in the real world, I’d suspect it to be a Disney movie [:facecovering:]”
“??? Puppies can pet each other’s heads???”

“Hahahahahahaha, I have never seen a dog this good at promoting merchandise!”
“I just ordered two bags. Hopefully my doggie becomes as smart as sese after eating it!”
“I petition for the #1 doggie salesman to start a livestreaming channel! The kind where family members make an appearance!”
“Ahhhhhh I want to see Miao Bro and sese selling dogfood together on livestream!”
“Not me, I just want to see the boss sese [doge]”
“I’m a fan only for sese!”
But as the discussion topic rose higher and higher on the charts, a few dissatisfied voices made themselves known.
“How many times has it been? Can someone live without showing off their dog?”
“If that’s his dog, then fine. But that’s his friend’s dog and he’s using it time and time again to get on the trending list. I’ve got nothing to stay…”
“Can he not afford to buy a dog for himself?”
“His friend is really kind. His dog has been used like this and he’s still not angry?”
“Going on a show is fine, but this is a commercial? Is the record business in such a recession?”
“? The ice prince image has certainly shattered [doge]”
The anti-fans had actually been gearing up to cause trouble the first time Lin Rong and Ning Yan had trended as a hot topic, but they didn’t make a lot of waves. But in this instance, Lin Rong’s other rivals probably joined the fray, so after a few gossip accounts spread the rumor, the tone of the comments started changing.
Some people started questioning whether it was morally right for Lin Rong to take advantage of his good friend’s dog to get more exposure. Others asked whether Lin Rong should be paying his friend a share of the money that came from using his dog in promotional activities. Another group even started trying to identify who Lin Rong’s friend was.
“Beauties” got angry after seeing this. On one hand, they tried to moderate comments despite their anger and on the other hand, they tried to reason with everyone—what did they mean by trying to find out who the friend was? If the friend hadn’t stepped forwards already, then that means everything Lin Rong did with the doggie had been done with consent. Did the anti-fans expect Lin Rong’s friend to join them in tearing Lin Rong apart?
Besides, how did they know that it was Lin Rong who took the dog to shoot the commercial?
The entire commercial only had two dogs in it. No humans made an appearance. Maybe it was the friend who took on the commercial?
The anti-fans immediately put up a screenshot—in the image, the person who posted seemed to be an Excellence employee. It looked like the employee posted something on Weibo the day Excellence shot their commercial. The post read: “A star is indeed a star. So much more handsome in real life than on screen!”
“‘The star’ must mean Lin Rong, right? How do the fans want to play this?”
“Another instance where evidence speaks for itself [doge]”
“So, did he give the friend the money?”
“I’m speechless. If it’s a friend, then why can’t Miao Bro’s friend be ‘the star’?”
“If the friend is a celebrity then why do they keep themselves hidden? Why did they let Lin Rong go on the show? Clearly it’s your average regular person. Look at the fans trying to wash Lin Rong clear of sins.”
“Wait, these are all just words. If the friend hasn’t stepped forwards to say anything, why are the anti-fans so passionate about passing judgement?”
“I’m just an average person. I don’t get why we insist on finding out who they are if we think they’re a non-celebrity. Are we going to demand money from Lin Rong on his behalf because he’s been wronged? Are the netizens such agents of justice now?
“I am a non-celebrity too. I think it’s not nice for Lin Rong to use his friend’s dog time and time again to get on the trending topic list.”
“If you don’t watch over them and discuss it, where would the trending list come from? Netizens are the ones who sent him up on the list of trending topics, right? And now they’re blaming Miao Bro?”
“Dying of laughter here. Who here doesn’t know that you can buy your way up a trending list!”
……
…
By the time Ning Yan saw this, it was already the next morning—that was right, ever since he and Lin Rong had come clean to each other, he now officially had his cell phone back and could use it whenever he wanted—of course Ning Yan knew that he had successfully marketed the product and he was pretty proud of it too. His original intent was to peek at how much the number had risen and make himself even happier. He didn’t count on opening Weibo out of habit and looking at the relevant keywords and the trending Weibo posts. He was immediately stunned.
Lin Rong had just finished making breakfast and said as he walked out of the kitchen, “Yanyan, time for breakfast.”
The white puppy raised his head and gave Lin Rong a serious look.
Lin Rong was a little confused.
Ning Yan himself lived on the internet, but he knew the jerk didn’t really use the phone and also didn’t pay attention to Weibo. If Lu Ming didn’t remind him, then the jerk wouldn’t know just how many times his name had been blackened on the internet.
But Lu Ming probably hadn’t said anything on purpose. After all, any public figure couldn’t avoid getting involved in these disputes. Most of the time they couldn’t do anything except be angered.
… But Ning Yan got angry just looking at it!
He was definitely the type to strike back with another account if he were attacked. Now that he saw the jerk was being attacked, he became even angrier!
Lin Rong walked over resignedly when he saw the white puppy give him a look and then go back to scrolling through the phone. Lin Rong called, “Yanyan, wait—”
The white puppy picked up the phone with his mouth and dashed into the bathroom. Then his hind legs kicked out and the door slammed shut with an audible clack.
Lin Rong, “…?”
Ning Yan continued angrily scrolling through Weibo as soon as he got into the bathroom. In addition he started to… smash that like button!
“Those who dig for privacy under the name of demanding justice, anti-fans are so disgusting!” Like!
“Do the anti-fans think the ‘friend’ is an idiot? If his dog had been kidnapped by Lin Rong, wouldn’t the ‘friend’ go file a police report?” Like!
“I think the friend would be quite disgusted by the actions of some of these crazy people…” Like!
“So, I want to say that some things are hard to say clearly, but regardless, Lin Rong’s anti-fans should think long and hard before saying anything. Otherwise you are likely to get slapped in the face emmmm….”
Hmmm? This was the employee of Excellence that was exposed yesterday?
The “Beauties” sensed something from this post and got excited. Even the anti-fans seemed to be caught off guard, but since this person didn’t post anymore after, they assumed that the person was probably Lin Rong’s fan posting something fake to support their idol. So they continued their rampage.
Ning Yan scrolled through the person’s Weibo and suspected that this account belonged to one of President Lin’s three assistants from that day, which meant… Keep liking!
“Lin Rong is so handsome I could lick him all over!” Like, like, like!
The white puppy parked himself on the toilet and waved his paws around. He excitedly patted the phone and even got faster and faster…
Outside of the bathroom, Lin Rong raised a hand and went back and forth on whether to knock or not.
Just then, his phone suddenly vibrated. He took it out from his pocket and saw that it was Lu Ming calling.
When he picked up, Lu Ming didn’t say anything for a while. Lin Rong asked hesitantly, “Lu Bro?”
After a moment of silence, Lu Ming asked, “Is Ning Yan next to you right now?”
Lin Rong’s eyes glinted and he asked cautiously, “What happened?”
“Do you know what he’s doing right now?”
Lin Rong looked at the door to the bathroom, “…”
“You’d best stop him,” Lu Ming said painfully. “It’s just that… Miao Bro, it’s really hard to come up with a post announcing your relationship status on the spot.”
Lin Rong, “???”
================================================
The internet exploded!
Those anti-fans and fans who had fought with each other for a day and night and were still scrolling through their phones despite their red and tired eyes also exploded!
The trending topic list also exploded!
Why?
Because Ning Yan had liked a dozen or more Weibo posts!
At first, it was Ning Yan’s fans who discovered this. For the past two or three months, their idol’s account was as official as it could be and had no other activities. But all of a sudden he… started liking the post of a Beauty involved in this fanwar between “Beauties” and anti-fans!
Is their idol sneaking onto the internet?!!!
This was shocking enough. After all, very few celebrities would involve themselves in a war between fan circles. They waited for Ning Yan to undo the like and figured that if anyone screenshotted the event to cause trouble, Ning Yan would probably have to write a new post explaining that he did it on accident.
His fan groups were just beginning to discuss how to help clear his name when they refreshed Weibo and discovered that Ning Yan had liked another post…
Another refresh, another like…
Everytime they refreshed, there would be a new like…
Ning Yan’s fans were shocked, confused, and about to be driven insane—
What is their little prince doing?!
Is he being controlled by a “hit-that-like-button” machine?
Very quickly, the other netizens discovered this and hurried to take screenshots. Immediately after, the entire Weibo fell into a state of shock.
… In the span of ten minutes, Ning Yan had liked 30-something Weibo posts.
Liking posts made by Beauties, liking posts made by regular users who supported Lin Rong… that was fine. But the rest…
“Lin Rong has abs!! Looks like an eight-pack!!”
“So handsome, so handsome, so handsome, eeeeeeeeeee all my dreams are of this handsome man [photo]”
“Must protect this silent but cute man [photo]”
“Want to marry him!!! [photo]”
…
This…
What was this!!!
The first time in history someone outed themselves through liking posts?!
Very quickly, the Excellence employee who was the first to get exposed by the anti-fans updated their Weibo.
Her tone was extremely calm: “I already said that anti-fans need to be careful of what they say or else they’ll get hit in the face with the truth. We’re seeing that now, aren’t we?”
Even up until this moment, many people still hadn’t figured out what Ning Yan liking posts and supporting Lin Rong had to do with anti-fans getting what they deserved. How had Ning Yan gotten vengeance on the anti-fans?
Until Ning Yan suddenly updated his Weibo.
The Weibo post only had one photo.
In the photo was the enlarged face of an angry dog.
The doggy face took up the entire shot so that nothing else could be seen, almost as if the camera had been stuck directly in front of the face when it had taken the photo.
All of a sudden, the entirety of Weibo fell into a deathly silence.
Pffffffft lol
Steps on how to protect your lover from antis by Ning Yan LOLOLOL 🤣🤣
Lu Bro,…. It’s too late!! 😂
