Chapter 2087 Fans Don’t Want Balance

Ian let out a small laugh. "It is a different kind of sensation you would feel if you were the active one.

Being active and passive feels different," he hummed.

Someone walked past them right at this moment, which caused Cindy to quickly step away from Ian to

fix the mask on his face. Then, she muttered, "What nonsense. You are lying to me."

She had a feeling that Ian was trying to mess with her. It felt heavenly for her as well even though she

hadn't been very active, which was why it didn't make sense to her that it could feel different when it

was practically the same mechanism.

As he straightened his posture, he turned to look at the noisy crowd, but kept his voice low for only her

to hear, "Why don't you try it the next time we do it? You should explore what makes you happy when

you still have the stamina to do so."

"I don't believe you!" she roared before turning and stomping away.

Ian looked at her back for a moment before following her in laughter, where they then headed in the

direction of a corner of the square. The crowd was denser here compared to where they were initially,

which meant that the square obviously housed more people than it could afford to.

They stood there for a little longer and seeing that there was no way they could squeeze into the

crowd, they decided to walk in the direction where they came from. It was still early when they left.

Cindy's thoughts soon drifted back to Valerie. She finally couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked,

"Do you think the company forbids their more popular junior and senior actresses from dating?"

Thinking that it probably was the case, Ian nodded at her. "The company would sometimes include it in

the contract if the artist is someone really popular. A lot of companies don't say it right to the artists'

face, though. The only reason why the artists aren't allowed to date is to avoid any rumors from

spreading. The artists would have to pay a fine if they did something that affects their work."

In this day of age where being a trend setter was what made up a person's popularity, celebrities would

constantly be under public scrutiny. It used to be the celebrities who had actual talent and potential that

shone. However, the industry had changed tremendously. Celebrities nowadays didn't have much of a

private life, as even their company could have a hand in controlling it to shape their artists' images.

Not only that, there were some extreme fans that would be possessive over their idols and might even

hope for the artists to stay single throughout their whole lives. Those were the kind of delusioned fans

who would react strongly to any gossip or scandal that their idols were involved in.

The companies could hardly be blamed since it was their responsibility to consider all of this to protect

their artists.

No label would want to be at odds with their artists, but it was a fact that a balance between limiting

them or giving them freedom was difficult to achieve. Fans would never allow that 'balance' to happen

since they were constantly asking for and caring too much.

"I don't senselessly chase after artists, so it is hard for me to understand those fans' mentality," Cindy

said while shaking her head. Then, she continued, "But I do think that there is a limit to how crazy a

person can be over their idol. Shouldn't they at least have the rationality to not overstep the line?"

"You are saying that because you are a rational person," Ian uttered with a helpless smile.

He had received a letter written in blood when he was a participant of a talent show before. He didn't

know how others would have reacted, but needless to say, he was scared to death by the frightening

letter.

It was the program organizer who had collected all the presents and letters that fans had sent to the

participants of the show back then.

When Ian opened his present, he was caught off guard. As the first person on the show to have

received a startling letter like that, he didn't know how he should have reacted.

A crew member, however, wasn't surprised at all when they saw the letter that Ian was holding. That Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

probably wasn't the first time that they had seen a participant receive something like that. They only

calmly walked to Ian, took the letter from him, and told him to not bother reading or be concerned about

it.

He couldn't read the words written in the letter because of how blurry the bloody words were, but that

experience had definitely changed his outlook on life. Truth be told, he never understood the extent of

the love his fans had for him even though he was fairly new on the show.

Also, he couldn't understand why anyone would express their feelings to a stranger in such an extreme

way.

To Ian, adoration was an emotion that could be both expressed or kept inside.

If expressing their thoughts was what someone wanted to do, there should be some sort of contact

before one could profess their feelings to the other. It was also important for the other party to accept

the feelings and feel gratitude in return.

That should be all there was to that.

On the other hand, feelings should be suppressed if there was no chance to get in contact with the

other party. What was the point of being crazy over someone who didn't even know about it? Wouldn't

that be a waste of time and effort then?
