The next morning, the internet was in an uproar. Timelines were filled with short videos recorded from various angles. Clickbait headlines flooded entertainment news portals:
"Top Artist Wei Yu Chen Saved by a Mysterious Girl with a Fire Extinguisher at the Airport!" sounds ridiculous, doesn't it…
"Barbaric Fans Defeated by an Unknown Woman!" unbelievable, right…?
"Who Is the Girl in the T-Shirt?"
The video of the girl raising a fire extinguisher while shouting harshly went viral instantly. Netizens were split into two sides: some accused her of being rude for daring to scold fans, others considered her a hero.
Comments flooded social media:
"Damn, that girl is so brave! I respect her!" her shocked expression was epic.
"Rude! How dare she insult Yu Chen's fans!"
"Swear, if it weren't for her, Yu Chen wouldn't have gotten out of the airport alive."
"Who is she? Airport staff? Just a regular fan? Or someone close to Yu Chen?"
Reporters and paparazzi tried to trace her identity, but nothing came up. No one knew her, no one knew her name, even her face was only half visible because she was wearing a cap that covered most of it, and the shaky video quality made it worse.
Wei Yu Chen's agency released an official statement that afternoon:
"We express our gratitude to the airport authorities and the public for helping ensure Wei Yu Chen's safety. Regarding the individual seen in the video, we have no further information."
However, that neutral statement only increased public curiosity. The keyword "Fire Extinguisher Girl" instantly became the number one trending topic on various platforms.
On the other hand, the hardcore fans felt their pride was trampled. Fandom forums were filled with insults toward the mysterious girl, even threats to find out who she was. But many new fans also emerged—people who previously didn't care about Yu Chen were now intrigued after witnessing the heated incident.
Wei Yu Chen's name suddenly soared even higher. But behind it all, one thing wouldn't fade: the sharp gaze of that cheeky girl in the t-shirt.
In his luxurious private apartment, Wei Yu Chen sat alone on the sofa. The tablet screen on his lap displayed rows of sensational headlines. His hand supported his chin, while his fingers spun the ring on his middle finger — his old habit whenever his mind was full.
The video of the girl played over and over again.
He paused at the frame where the girl in the t-shirt turned toward him, eyes defiant and full of courage.
There was something in that gaze that disturbed Yu Chen, something he had never seen in anyone else, not even in the glamorous world of top celebrities.
"Why am I still thinking about her…" he murmured softly.
His phone rang, an incoming call from Jiang Fan. With a casual yet pressing tone, Jiang Fan spoke immediately without preamble:
"Yu Chen, don't open social media right now. The fans are going crazy. The agency is furious too. They don't like some stranger suddenly becoming the center of attention because of you."
Yu Chen chuckled lightly, his gaze never leaving the tablet screen. "I know. But funny, isn't it… everyone's busy trying to find out who she is, when I myself don't even know."
"That's exactly the problem!" Jiang Fan emphasized. "If her identity gets exposed, it'll be chaos. The hardcore fans are already planning to find her. It could get dangerous."
Yu Chen let out a long sigh, then rested his head against the back of the sofa. A faint smile appeared on his face. "I don't know why… but I actually want to know who she really is."
"(gē)… don't start new trouble," Jiang Fan's voice softened, but there was worry in it. "We just got back, work is waiting. Forget that girl."
Wei Yu Chen closed his eyes for a moment, letting silence fill the room. But behind his eyelids, the face and loud voice of the Fire Extinguisher Girl kept echoing.
That afternoon, the top floor meeting room was filled with small laughter and curious whispers. The grand agency was indeed owned by Wei Yu Chen himself, so the atmosphere was much more relaxed.
On the big screen, the Fire Extinguisher Girl video was played again. Her voice sounded loud, her expression clear even if only for a few seconds.
One young staff member leaned forward, eyes sparkling. "Boss, seriously, who is that girl? She's not airport staff, right? Doesn't seem like a fan either…"
Another chimed in, laughing, "If she were a fan, there's no way she'd dare scold other fans. That's suicide."
Jiang Fan laughed as well, patting the table. "Hahaha, I still can't believe it. That girl's really bold. But honestly, she's cool. If it weren't for her, we might still be stuck at the airport."
Yu Chen just smiled faintly, leaning back casually with one hand supporting his chin. His fingers spun the ring on his middle finger again — the habit that never left whenever he was deep in thought.
"She's… interesting," he said briefly, making the room fall silent for a few seconds. Everyone exchanged glances, some starting to grin with curiosity.
"Boss, don't tell me you've fallen for her?" teased one staff member jokingly.
Yu Chen glanced at him flatly, but a faint smile appeared on his lips. "I'm just… curious. Someone who dares to rant in front of thousands of fans, carrying a fire extinguisher, and ends up saving me? That… doesn't happen often."
Jiang Fan looked at Yu Chen, then sighed and chuckled. "(gē)… your curiosity this time is dangerous. Don't tell me you'll order the investigation team to find her."
Laughter erupted in the room. But behind the jokes and relaxed mood, one thing was clear: Wei Yu Chen truly couldn't stop thinking about the mysterious girl in the t-shirt.
Wei Yu Chen…
But… but…
There's something about her that I can't look away from. How crazy is that girl? — I thought, my lips curving faintly in a smile almost unheard.
This is the first time I've met someone so strange and sharp. The way she looks at the world… as if she knows no fear, as if every step she takes defies the logic and rules I've come to understand.
The laughter that echoed only in my own chest felt warm yet cold at once, making me unable to resist this burning curiosity even more.
I have to… understand this crazy little girl. Know her secret. Dive into her mind. Everything hidden behind those wild, unpredictable eyes.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Jiang Fan was observing Yu Chen's demeanor and behavior in his thoughts.
Hmm… seems a bit strange!!! Jiang Fan's thoughts this time felt different. His eyes didn't leave his Gēge, who for some reason suddenly became so curious about that girl. It was rare for him to show interest in a woman… Jiang Fan thought, his heart pounding oddly.
Has his sexual orientation started to become "normal" after Li Yuan Bo's departure? Hmm… my brain's a mess thinking about this. But hopefully, he whispered in his heart. Still, Gēge's curiosity left a huge question mark, like a faint shadow of doubt spinning in Jiang Fan's mind and heart.
