Free Web NovelChapter 92: Chapter 92: I Also Want to Follow My Little Sister
Landon Sinclair jumped. The phone was vibrating so hard his hand went numb.
He glanced at his phone and closed his background apps.
BUZZ BUZZ—
Just as he was about to turn off his phone, Gabriel Sinclair suddenly started spamming him with pokes on WeChat.
His phone kept buzzing incessantly. The previous notifications were one thing, but Gabriel was now firing off messages at a rate of one per second, which was even more intense.
Resignedly, Landon Sinclair opened WeChat and looked down at the messages Gabriel had sent him.
[Poke]
[Landon, did your WeChat account get hacked?]
[Why did you use your main account to follow our little darling?]
[It’s been three minutes, and you’re already about to start trending?]
[Landon, were you hacked or not? Say something, quick! Talk!]
[Poke]
[Poke]
[...]
Looking at the hundred-plus new messages from Gabriel, Landon replied:
LS: [My account wasn’t hacked. I followed her myself.] freewёbnoνel.com
[Why should I use a side account? Isn’t Chloe our own sister?]
Reading Landon’s reply, Gabriel knew his brother had never experienced the brutal storms of the internet.
[Landon, Chloe is on ’Genius’ and she’s already in the hot seat. If the anti-fans find out about our relationship with her, it’ll probably cause problems for her.]
[You saw what happened with that online exposé last time, right? We’re public figures, but Chloe’s just a private citizen for now. If our anti-fans get ahold of her, won’t she just become their verbal punching bag?] frёewebηovel.cѳm
Landon recalled the previous unpleasant incidents online, sneered inwardly, and slowly typed out his reply:
[Chloe is so good in this ’Genius’ competition that the trolls will have nothing to criticize.]
Gabriel was stunned for a long moment.
Suddenly, he sensed something was off about what Landon had said and shot up from his recliner.
[What do you mean by that? Are you there at the venue? Didn’t you go back to the research lab? You’re out already?]
Landon didn’t hide it, telling Gabriel that he had become a mentor on ’Genius’.
[I’m here. Chloe did great. She’s already made it to the fourth round.]
As soon as he sent the message, the other side replied with a long string of exclamation points and an "AHHHH" that might as well have been a thousand characters long.
Landon, feeling a bit bored, put down his phone.
Chloe, sitting beside him, had noticed for some time that something was off with Landon. "Landon," she asked softly, "did something happen?"
"I..." Landon was suddenly a little nervous, but he knew he couldn’t hide it, so he confessed, "I just followed you on Weibo with my main account."
Chloe was taken aback for a moment, then picked up her phone. Seeing the 999+ notifications on her Weibo, she instantly understood the nervousness in Landon’s voice.
She glanced at her rapidly growing follower count, her eyes crinkling with happiness. "Landon, thank you! It’s only been a few minutes, and my Weibo followers have already shot up to three hundred thousand."
Landon Sinclair had twenty million Weibo followers. And unlike other celebrities, ninety percent of his fans were active, which meant the traffic on his account was exceptionally high.
Landon relaxed, relieved that Chloe wasn’t angry.
Then the phone in his pocket buzzed a few more times.
He didn’t even have to look to know who the messages were from.
Just as he was about to block Gabriel, he glanced at the newest message from him.
A vein bulged on his forehead, and his voice trembled slightly. "Chloe, I think you really are about to start trending."
