"Haaaaaaah.." Yingxue yawned as she sat up from bed. With her long hair frizzy and eyes half open, she sluggishly reached for her phone on the bedside table.
She had another concert last night, and an additional one tonight she had to go to. It was hectic for sure but something she took great joy in. Not to mention tonight's concert was something they've been preparing for so long.
After the concert last night, just before bed, she had tweeted,
'Another successful night! At this rate we snowflakes are gonna conquer the world!
╰(✧∇✧)╯' - @YingxueBunny. Included in the tweet was a selfie of her and the audience behind her, all raising their snowflake light blue glow sticks, a symbol of her fandom.
Now that she was up, she decided to check all the new comments she had got. However, just as she turned on her screen, she noticed a series of notifications, all from either her staunch fans or close friends.
Feeling confused, she briefly scrolled through them.
'Yingxue! This bastard just shaded you!'
'That son of a gun is trying to undermine us Snowflakes!'
'A Southerner thinks he can look down on us?'
'This prick just insulted our angel!'
A plethora of similar comments kept on going the more she scrolled down.
𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘯?
She soon found out. Linked in one of her dm's was a link to a tweet by the one and only, Li Tian. Apparently last night he happened to have a summer photoshoot for a magazine. In the tweet so many people were debating about included one of the professional shots from the shoot. He was standing at the beach, leaning on a giant flaming surfboard, wearing a pair of black swimming shorts and a half buttoned hawaiian t-shirt. You could only see a teaser of his abs but it was enough for women to go crazy. However, it were the words atop the picture that drew the ire of her fandom.
'I don't need a concert to conquer. A nice pic in a nice place is more than enough..
(ｷ▼⊿▼)ﾉ ' - XiaoLiTian.
Reading the cockiness hardly concealed within the tweet and the silent shade directed to her, an anger mark popped on her temple. It only had a few thousand more hearts than hers.
𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘬..
But Yingxue was a fast thinker. She immediately grabbed her big pink stuffed bunny, Snowball, from the bed and hugged it to her chest. She opened her phone's front camera and tried to find the best pose to take.
After a short while, she finally decided on hugging and smushing her face into the bunny, only showing above the nose, her hair all messy and eyes super sleepy. If it was anybody else, they would have looked like a total wreck, but it being Yingxue, there was nothing that looked more adorable. Even with the half closed sleepy eyes, you could see the prominent violet hue shining into the camera. Her mouth was covered, but the silly smile was still visible from the twinkle in her eyes.
SNAP.
She took the picture, hardly checking if she looked good, and tweeted it on social media.
'I don't need a professional photo edited into a nice place to look good. Snowball says good morning everyone!
★~(◠ω◕✿)' - @YingxueBunny.
It was a subtle jab at Li Tian's professionally taken magazine photo and the 'nice place' comment. It was obvious, at least to her that it was taken in a studio. You couldn't see much in terms of location in her picture but it was enough. It wasn't easy to get a sneak peak into Yingxue's surroundings. No matter how often she updated her fans on her activities, she was particularly secretive about where she was or had been to before. Seeing even a bit of her room was a privilege enough.
Not even a minute later, a storm of comments and retweets bombarded her notification icon. She didn't allow notifications aside from friends and other verified accounts, yet that alone quickly reached more than a thousand, the hearts too many to count.
'OMG! So beautiful!'
'Is this what heaven looks like??'
'Oh wow! I see pink! I always thought our Goddesses's room would be blue.. (๑♡⌓♡๑)'
'You go guuuurl!! ❤ ❤ ❤'
'I can die now..'
'Natural beauty don't need no filter. Even an amateur can't make you look ugly!'
'Any man able to wake up next to Yingxue is the luckiest man alive..'
'I'm sorry but Li Tian who?'
'Li Tian may be burning hot but Yingxue can extinguish his whole life!! (✖╭╮✖)'
'Is this a war I smell? Girl be throwing some serious shade and I'm loving it!!'
Yingxue giggled at the responses. It started out with people singing praises for her but when they gradually got the memo, it slowly turned out into an audience commenting on the war to come, which she obviously managed to come out with the upperhand.
"That's enough for now," she told herself. She would never start conflict herself but that didn't mean that she would back down from a fight. She was slowly starting to forget the dude, maybe even accept an apology for last time. I mean it's almost been a week. But he was obviously trying to test her patience.
On the contrary, she welcomed the challenge. Let's see who's better. Even if he had a higher following now, she was confident in overcoming him. In just five minutes, the hearts alone went up by a hundred thousand. In a few hours, it would surely surpass his..
She put the phone aside and went to take a warm shower. After finishing, she wore one of her favorite sweaters, a long pink skirt, and semi dried her hair. She then pulled up the long locks into a messy bun and put it in place with a few pins.
𝘚𝘪𝘨𝘩. 𝘈𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴.
Lastly, she took out a pair of black contact lens, placed them inside her eyes, and put on a giant pair of thick rimmed glasses, almost completely hiding her face.
When she was done, she looked at herself in the mirror, checking to see if there was anything amiss that would somehow give herself away. Satisfied with the result, she walked downstairs into the kitchen, humming the entire way.
