Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore

Chapter 628: Xiao He's Birthday Fan Event

Finally, seemingly sensing the gloomy mood of the drama fans, the official account of *Corner Also* quietly released two behind-the-scenes videos.One was a sweet, atmospheric video of the actor who had just exited the show sharing a loving gaze with the female lead, Guo Xinya, offering fans some relationship sugar.

The other was a video of the younger brother Xiao He and his older sister Xinya dancing together.

These videos seemed to have been shot a long time ago; even Xiao He himself had forgotten when they were taken.

He clicked on the video to take a look and finally remembered it was the cringe-worthy Douyin dance he had done with Sister Xinya before.

Watching his own stiff, uncoordinated human movements in the video, Xiao He silently closed his eyes, then tremblingly clicked the dislike button, deciding to stay off the internet for the next few days.

Damn it, official account, just how many videos have you hoarded?

But human joys and sorrows are never the same. These videos barely managed to placate the drama fans, who watched them with complete satisfaction.

Well, what could you expect? It's *Corner Also's* official account—showing no favoritism, treating everyone equally.

And after this wave of antics, the *Corner Also* official account didn't forget its main job. For example, right at the stroke of midnight on February 12th, it reposted the birthday fan event from Xiao He's Fan Support Club.

The viewers, who had just finished the drama and had nowhere to put their complicated emotions, were a bit confused when they saw this abrupt repost. But after taking a closer look, they realized that Xiao He's birthday was right around the corner.

Huh?

That's right, tomorrow is Xiao He's birthday!

Then, it wasn't just the *Corner Also* official account. Several official accounts of production teams Xiao He had worked with also reposted and helped build the hype.

As for the celebrity himself, he just so happened to miss this whole thing. He tossed his phone aside, lay down on the bed, and prepared to sleep like a log.

And so—

February 13th arrived, Xiao He's 25th birthday.

...

Although for Xiao He himself, this wasn't a particularly memorable or important day, for others, it was still an incredibly significant one.

On February 13th, major display screens all over Rong City were plastered with Xiao He's birthday support posters. Not only were they everywhere in subways and passageways, but even several of Rong City's most important large screens aired Xiao He's birthday greetings in rotation at every hour on the hour.

An entire huge city had actually become Xiao He's city, filled with all sorts of elements related to him.

Xiao He himself probably never imagined that Rong City would be willing to put up so much support for him, essentially promoting and celebrating him all day long.

This was practically unbelievable.

Yet the fans seemed to have known all along. The number of travelers in Rong City on that day also skyrocketed. Countless fans who had received the news rushed over early, gathering together in tacit understanding to celebrate Xiao He's birthday.

At the same time on this day, related support displays also appeared on the large screens of important buildings in several foreign countries.

At the famous Times Square in the United States, many people stopped to watch. Finally, they recognized that captivating character from his deep, cool gaze: "Oh, it's that book! Is today this actor's birthday?"

At Shibuya Center Street in Japan, when that manhwa-like face appeared on screen, Japanese girls also stopped in their tracks, mesmerized by the person on the big screen. Then, with a slightly exaggerated, manga-style short "Ah!", they exclaimed: "Today is He-kun's birthday? Ah, how awful! I actually forgot something so important!"

Then came France, where Xiao He had been before, and South Korea, where his fame was equally high...

And Xiao He himself seemed to have received "special treatment" from his hometown. Early in the morning, while doing his last round of shopping before the Spring Festival with Mother Xiao, they encountered a temporary birthday celebration electronic screen event set up at the central square.

To be honest, Xiao He had been complaining as he drove by that there were too many activities at the central square lately, even blocking the road, and it wasn't usually this crowded.

But when he turned his head to look, he got a shock.

This central square was considered the largest commercial center in their city. Many activities were held here regularly, and even the flag-raising ceremony during National Day took place nearby. At the very center stood the specially enclosed flagpole, standing tall and straight in the square.

But today, the usually spacious square was packed with people. Both sides were densely decorated with posters and standees. And the person on them looked awfully familiar—someone Xiao He saw almost every time he looked in the mirror—

Naturally, it was him.

So this place had turned into a gathering spot for his Little Box fans!

After all, this was Bro Xiao's hometown, right? Bro Xiao had already been on vacation recently, so maybe he was even in the area right now!

With that hope, and with the excitement of celebrating their idol's birthday together with fellow fans, even though Xiao He wasn't holding a birthday party here this year, many Little Box fans still flew here to take part in the fan-organized events.

What Xiao He was seeing now was all prepared and set up at the expense of the local Little Box fan support association.

Or more accurately, the fan events in many places were funded by the Little Box fans themselves and weren't official events. After all, Xiao He had originally wanted to keep this birthday low-key, so fans wouldn't have to go out of their way for him. But he never imagined that this year, his Little Box fans would pull off something this big, even going global with simultaneous support.

The love and dedication fans have for their idols never fails to surprise.

It was still winter, and there were no signs of warming up in their area. Even in the early morning when the sun should be rising, the wind still carried a chill.

When Xiao He saw those young people gathered together in the cold morning breeze, laughing, chatting, taking photos, and checking in at the spot, he found himself unable to look away.

Finally, even Mother Xiao leaned over to take a look. Then, with a smile, she raised her hand and patted Xiao He on the shoulder, saying, "Why don't you get out and take a look?"

After all, it was an event organized by his own fans. It had to be intriguing, right?

Hearing his mother's words, Xiao He hesitated: "I'm worried I'll be recognized."

There were already a lot of people on site. If he showed up, even more people would gather around, and the place would be even more jam-packed.

Mother Xiao thought for a moment and said, "How about I go down and take some pictures for you? I think these young people are pretty interesting."

She was a hip old mom too!

Wouldn't it be a shame if she didn't go check in and record her own son's fan-organized birthday celebration?

In the end, Xiao He couldn't argue with his mom. He turned the steering wheel, drove the car to the underground parking lot of a nearby shopping mall, and accompanied his mom as they got out of the car.

Luckily, after returning home, Xiao He had already accompanied his mom on several shopping trips and bought a lot of clothes. What he was wearing today had never been seen by fans before. Even his hat was brand new, so he figured no fan would recognize him by his appearance or clothing.

As for his vibe and aura, Xiao He felt that he, as an Award-Winning Actor, was quite authoritative in that regard. Dodging paparazzi and stalker fans was his specialty.

So, tagging along for a stroll shouldn't be a big deal, right?

So Xiao He put on his mask, locked the car, and walked with his mom toward the central square.

-

Because the event at the central square had taken up many of the nearby parking spots, many private cars were directed to the underground parking lot of this shopping mall.

As the largest shopping mall near the central square, its underground parking lot was enormous, with a full four levels underground. It could easily meet all the parking needs for the day, and there was no need to worry about not finding a spot.

As Xiao He walked, he saw many Little Box fans carrying fan merchandise, getting out of their cars and packing their things. They were clearly also heading toward the central square.

The only thing that was a bit stressful was the elevator here. Going up and down, it was packed almost every time it opened. Xiao He and his mom even had to wait in line to get on.

Walking in front of Xiao He was a young woman, also wearing a hat and mask, pulling a small handcart.

Xiao He casually glanced over and noticed that the handcart was covered with a cloth, bulging, making it hard to see what was inside.

A new elevator arrived, and this time, it was finally their turn.

The few people in front of them went in one by one. But when the young woman in front tried to pull her cart in, the cart got jolted by the lip at the elevator entrance, and something fell at Xiao He's feet.

Xiao He looked down and saw that it was a small packet of cookies.
