After staring at the link for a few seconds, Xyla Quest clicked on it to find posts published by random netizens and marketing accounts about Josh Batton and Lukas Ronaldo as a couple.
There were video attachments that showed them together with captions—
“The halls are filled, and people express their deepest love.”
“But I only look into his eyes, and I don’t care about what everyone is shouting.”
The words quoted seemed familiar to her. They were lyrics to a song she knew.
Those lyrics, coupled with lingering stares shared between the actors amidst a crowd of thousands, really did make them look like a couple.
Oddly enough, she could see why these people shipped them as a couple. Fans would often fantasize about celebrities dating other celebrities they approved of.
However, she couldn’t understand why these people would think so when Josh was already married.
As she perused down further, she could see a newly formed community forum dedicated to the guys as a couple.
The forum was named Stars Collide.
It wasn't hard to guess the meaning behind it, alluding to the fact that Lukas and Josh were both celebrities who somehow met and fell in love.
These netizens were certainly very creative.
Reading on, she saw even more comments from random netizens—
“Lukas and Josh look so good together.”
“Stars Collide. It’s so sweet!”
“Josh is already married. Are you sure this is okay?”
“Hey, have you thought about how Annabeth feels? I’m sure she’s speechless.”
Xyla was pleased that Lukas could attain such popularity in a brief amount of time after his debut.
She could see various compliments from his fans after clicking on the link. She briefly skimmed through the comments before exiting.
After browsing Weibo for a while longer, she shifted her attention back to the awards ceremony on television again, seeing a beautiful female actress and a famous director walk onto the stage.
“Up next, we’ll be presenting the most important award of the night, and that is for the Best Actor category,” the actress announced.
“Who is in the running to be the winner this year? Let’s take a look at the screen for the nominees,” the director said, turning to look at a big screen behind them.
The names of several male nominees appeared on the screen with snippets of their featured films.
These included Lukas, Josh, and other pioneers in the film industry.
The director continued to speak once the nominees were introduced. “I’m happy to announce the winner of White Jade’s Best Actor award is… Lukas Ronaldo!”
