My Idol System: An Idol, But Also A Savior-Chapter 211: Nine, Irritated

[What is this, I finally understand why Lucas had to go online and apologize.]

[Joshua got angry over something as small as a nostril and even left the show. Is he crazy or what?]

[And it seems Louis also left because of this. This is insane.]

[It was just a mistake, for heaven’s sake. What’s wrong with them? Poor Lucas.]

Lucas’s fans almost immediately started cursing when they saw their idol sitting alone with a dejected expression.

[You’re the ones who are crazy. Didn’t the director already say Joshua had an allergy? Even allergies won’t spare him?]

[Who knows whether it’s a real allergy or not.]

[There will definitely be hospital paperwork. No need for you guys to worry.]

[And you say it was a mistake. It was so obvious. A normal person couldn’t possibly misread it. Your idol stirred things up himself and wanted to embarrass Joshua. Of course he should apologize. Now he’s acting like the victim, hahaha.]

[Serves him right that no one wants to play with him.]

[Exactly. Even Tina didn’t bother responding to him. This is hilarious.]

Joshua’s fans were no pushovers either and immediately beat Lucas’s fans into retreat.

But Lucas’s fans felt they were completely in the right and saw no reason to be afraid. No matter how many times Joshua’s fans shoved videos in their faces, they stubbornly insisted that it was entirely possible to have seen it wrong.

[Earlier you were mocking Joshua for being delusional, you vicious bunch. Now that the truth is out, it suddenly becomes Joshua’s fault? Your idol is really so innocent, huh?]

[I really hate this kind of people. It feels like there’s a lump of anger stuck in my throat.]

[That’s the power of a green tea bitch. Every sentence makes me sick.]

[They’re even scolding Louis, hahaha. They really don’t know who they should be thanking for getting where they are today.]

However, the fury of Lucas’s fans remained overwhelming. They even called on the company to step in and protect Lucas, pushed the hashtag "Joshua apologize to Lucas," and made such a huge fuss that everyone knew about it.

Yet the people inside Running Actors were still unaware of all this. They also couldn’t wait for Luis to return...

Let us turn back to the moment when Luis took Joshua away.

He took Joshua’s phone and directly dialed the emergency contact number. The call was answered almost within a second. "Joshua, what’s wrong? I’ll come pick you up..."

The person on the other end started talking rapidly. Luis hurriedly cut in, "I’m Luis. Where are you? Joshua isn’t doing very well."

The moment Nine heard the tone in Luis’s voice, he could not help frowning. Right now, they could not return to Joshua’s apartment at all. There was a high chance they would be spotted. Nine could only give the address of their castle and, at the same time, call a doctor to wait there.

Fortunately, Luis arrived very quickly. Even so, the further he went, the more dazed he felt, the more something seemed wrong.

Was Joshua really in this place?

By the time everything went smoothly and he actually brought Joshua into Blue Moon Castle, Luis still felt a bit unreal.

But the appearance of a strange young man quickly pulled him back to his senses.

As soon as Nine walked out, he saw Luis and Joshua sitting in the back seat. Joshua’s hands were still being tightly held, yet fresh blood continued to well up from his arm. As if sensing something, he lifted his eyes. The moment he saw Nine, he pressed his lips together, and tears spilled out again.

Nine hurriedly opened the car door and pulled Joshua into his arms.

Joshua also clutched tightly at the hem of his clothes, his shoulders trembling nonstop.

Facing Nine’s less-than-pleasant expression, Luis really wanted to ask what kind of relationship he and Joshua had. But Nine spoke first. "Thank you for bringing Joshua back. I trust you will help keep this matter confidential."

It was obvious that this person did not want him to stay.

Luis could not help frowning. But seeing that Joshua seemed to trust this person, he could not say anything more.

"I told the director that Joshua had an allergy."

Nine nodded. "I’ll handle it. Thank you."

With that, he carried Joshua inside.

In fact, Joshua had already calmed down on the way back. It was just that seeing Nine earlier made him lose control for a moment.

Seeing that Joshua was still sobbing nonstop, Nine could not help gently patting his back and said softly, "Alright, Joshua. Who bullied you? I’ll help you vent your anger, okay?"

Joshua shook his head and said nothing. Nine’s shoulder was already soaked through.

Nine felt even more irritated inside. It had to be that bitch Lucas. And that bastard’s fans online were being so aggressive too. If Joshua had not stopped him, he would have given every single one of them an axe to settle things once and for all.

Even though he was so angry he was on the verge of going mad, he still kept his manner extremely gentle.

After confirming that Joshua did not have any serious injuries, Nine immediately sent the doctor away. At the same time, he coaxed Joshua into buying healing ointment from the Store. That stuff was definitely better than anything outside.

Holding the medicine bottle in his hand, Nine used a warm towel to wipe the blood from Joshua’s hand.

Joshua kept his eyes lowered the whole time. His brows did not even twitch. Tears continued to fall endlessly. Even though he knew wiping them away would not stop them, Nine still could not help reaching out to gently brush away the tears that kept slipping down. He said softly, "Joshua, talk to me."

Joshua shook his head. "I’m fine now, Nine. Earlier it was... I lost control."

Joshua felt a little frustrated. He had definitely caused more trouble for Luis, and he also could not continue facing Louis...

Before his nails could scratch into his own skin, his hand was suddenly grabbed. Nine stopped Joshua’s unconscious action and asked gently, "You say you’re fine?"

Joshua looked at Nine, the corners of his mouth drooping slightly.

Nine felt annoyed, yet he laughed instead. "I haven’t even said anything to you, and you’re already sulking?"

Joshua lowered his head.

"So hard to coax. Now I’m in the wrong just for not letting you hurt yourself, right?"

"Hic... sob, sob, sob..." Joshua broke into audible sobbing.

The room suddenly grew a little cold. Then came a heavy sound, like something solid falling straight to the ground.

Joshua jolted, but before he could lift his head, a large hand pressed against the back of his head. His whole body was pulled tightly into a broad embrace. The dazzling light forced him to shut his eyes, and his tears fell faster and faster.

That hand gently patted his back without saying a word, yet it only made Joshua cry even harder.

"Louis... Louis is my older brother... but he forgot me, hic, just like Henry. Henry doesn’t remember me either... it’s only me. I don’t want this... sob sob, I want to go home..."

He finally spoke.

Nine had been browsing the internet all along and had watched the livestream as well. Of course he knew who Louis was, but he had never expected this...

As he thought about how Joshua’s relatives kept appearing one after another, and how Joshua was saying he wanted to go home, Nine suddenly felt rather displeased with this so-called older brother of Joshua’s.

The moment Joshua saw him, he had cried so much, his hands still covered in blood.

"Our home is here, Joshua." Nine said softly, like some shadowed beast.

Joshua shook his head. The fact that he could say all this already meant he had calmed down a great deal. He understood that he could not force others to retain their memories, but he still could not control his emotions.

He missed them so much, yet none of them remembered him.

Before, he had only hoped to see them again. He had never imagined that when they did meet, they would have no memories of him at all.

Joshua cried for nearly an hour. Even Nine began to panic. He could no longer maintain that gloomy composure and even started thinking about ways to drag Louis back for Joshua.

But by then, Joshua had cried himself unconscious. His whole body leaned against Nine’s chest, limp and devoid of strength.

Nine could only sigh. He quickly finished applying the medicine to Joshua, then carried him back to bed.

Just as Nine was about to return to his own body, Joshua suddenly whimpered on the bed, tears starting to spill again. Nine could only lie down and hold Joshua, continuously wiping away his tears. Soft words of comfort poured out without pause, and only then did Joshua finally settle a little.

Family. Home. Are they really that important to you, Joshua? If one day you could not see me anymore, would you cry like this too?

Nine knew he was twisted and selfish, yet those thoughts refused to be restrained.

He always wanted a place in Joshua’s heart. So when he realized that Joshua would cry for so many people, what he felt was not only heartache. He felt jealousy.

He cherished Joshua so deeply, did not want him to shed even a single tear. Yet those people had only just appeared, and they had already made his precious one cry until he could barely breathe.

If those people had already forgotten Joshua, then why couldn’t Joshua forget them too? Live more freely, be a little happier. That was the Joshua he wanted.

Nine gently stroked Joshua’s face, his eyes narrowing dangerously.
