My Idol System: An Idol, But Also A Savior-Chapter 187: Allergy

Leonard’s attitude made some people laugh, but in the blink of an eye, the comment section had already turned into an all-out war between the two sides’ solo fans.

Just then, Joshua spoke up. "Of course Henry can smile..."

Although in reality, Henry really did smile very rarely...

Joshua couldn’t help recalling those few occasions when Henry had smiled in front of others.

Henry didn’t pay much attention to the real intention behind the question.

He looked straight at the camera and said calmly, "I can smile."

That was all he said. He had no intention of proving it by lifting the corners of his lips.

[Henry is seriously beyond saving. He’s not planning to be an idol anymore, is he?]

[These rich young masters should stay at home instead of becoming idols with this kind of attitude. I really don’t understand how someone like this still has fans]

[Everyone’s talking about Leonard’s attitude, but at least he knows how to care about his fans]

[Anti, right? Get lost. We’re not even asking Henry to smile]

[Why was that question even chosen anyway?]

[LOL, maybe they wanted to boost Henry’s likability. Who knew he wouldn’t even bother to lift his lips]

Joshua’s expression remained unchanged, but inwardly, he had already frowned slightly. Maybe Henry didn’t care about public opinion at all, and maybe he didn’t intend to develop in this industry either. But Joshua didn’t want Henry to be scolded.

"Henry."

Joshua suddenly spoke. Henry immediately looked over, only to hear Joshua say, "Smile." As he spoke, Joshua directly curved his lips into a bright smile, even lifting the corners with two fingers, as if he were drawing a smile onto his own face. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Henry’s brows unconsciously relaxed, and the corners of his lips curved upward ever so slightly.

Just a little, but it was enough. All the harshness on his face seemed to melt away in that instant.

The all-angle camera almost instantly captured this scene.

The comment section froze for a moment.

[...]

[Holy shit, this is the first time I’ve ever thought Henry was actually beautiful!]

[Oh my god, I like cold Henry, but this side of him isn’t bad at all either]

[Joshua, please keep this up!]

[This is way too good]

[They’re so real, I’m the fake one]

[I told you Henry only smiles at Joshua, but nobody listened to me]

[Is it because Joshua genuinely likes him and isn’t afraid of him?]

By the time Henry turned his face away, his expression had already returned to normal.

Ben couldn’t help quietly letting out a breath. Thinking about it, the comments weren’t wrong. If it weren’t for Joshua, this group would probably have been finished long ago. He really couldn’t understand how a group where everyone was so different from one another could still become popular. Could it be because the solo fans fought each other every day?

There was no denying it, though. The solo fandoms of each ShineOn member were truly powerful.

The smile on his lips unchanged, he laughed as he said, "Henry is really a responsible and capable leader. Of course, he’s not scary at all, everyone."

"Alright, and our next question is for Leonard, from a fan named [Leonard is a puppy, not a fox]..."

Leonard almost immediately glared. "Why am I a puppy? Do you even have eyes? How do I look like a puppy at all?!"

Joshua couldn’t help feeling a bit speechless as he looked at him. After Leonard finished growling, he crossed his arms irritably, snorting coldly again and again.

Ben burst out laughing and continued, "This fan wants to know what Leonard brought along for this trip."

Leonard replied without a care, "Of course sunscreen, mosquito repellent, ointment..."

Leonard kept talking, almost listing his entire belongings.

[Don’t tell me his luggage only has medicine and no clothes?]

[That’s really suspicious]

[First time coming to the countryside. This young master really broadened my horizons]

[Do you think Leonard would believe it if we said there’s a giant snake here that could swallow all five ShineOn members in one bite?]

[You could try tricking him, hahaha]

Everyone chatted for a while, and then the livestream was turned off. At the very least, the atmosphere still felt lighthearted.

Whether the cameras were on or not, the way the ShineOn members got along didn’t change at all.

They needed to sit in the car for six hours to reach their destination. Leonard couldn’t help complaining nonstop. "Why are we riding in such a cramped car? Why aren’t we taking a plane? Why? My back is about to snap in half. Why is this seat so hard..."

Listening to the endless whining beside him, Joshua felt that fans really shouldn’t just look at faces. They should have realized much earlier that Leonard deserved the nickname "princess" far more than Luther did.

Joshua yawned, tilted his head, and leaned against Luther’s shoulder. Luther immediately adjusted his posture so Joshua could sleep a little more comfortably.

Leonard, who had been enthusiastically asking Joshua whether he wanted some potato chips, turned his head and saw Joshua already sleeping soundly against Luther’s shoulder.

He couldn’t help pinching Joshua’s nose lightly, smiling as he said, "And you still dare say you don’t sleep in."

His hand was suddenly smacked away with a sharp sound, loud enough that even the half-asleep Joshua twitched slightly.

Luther immediately reached out to gently pat Joshua’s head, signaling that he could keep sleeping.

Leonard was almost about to explode, but seeing Joshua sleeping so peacefully, he could only silently swallow his molten rage.

Time passed quickly. By the time Joshua opened his eyes again, the sky outside had already turned orange. Reflected in the window were no longer tall buildings, but patchwork fields filled with different crops.

He couldn’t help turning around to look out the rear window.

Ben spoke up at that moment. "It really was a long journey. We’ll be able to rest soon. What do you all think of this trip so far?"

Leonard rolled his eyes quietly. "Other than back pain, what else is there..."

Of course he didn’t actually have back pain. His waist wasn’t that weak. He was just uncomfortable, so nothing felt comfortable.

Ben professionally kept the smile on his lips. At this moment, the livestream was turned on again. The first thing the fans saw was a vast stretch of farmland, with poetic rivers and mountains. The sunset draped everything in a warm hue, and within that glow, the young boys slowly walked toward them.

[...]

[Damn it, I’m dead]

[LOL, the production team really knows what they’re doing]

[With this scenery, it feels like they’re walking into a wedding hall!]

[That’s too greedy, are you planning to take all five of them?!]

[Actually, I’m a fanboy]

[...]

[Will you stop already?!]

The camera shifted again, zooming in closer to the faces of the ShineOn members.

Just then, Joshua suddenly sneezed.

Everyone couldn’t help stopping and looking at him.

Joshua rubbed his nose and looked at them suspiciously. "What, never seen a handsome guy sneeze before?"

Luther directly reached out. Joshua, experienced as ever, immediately lowered his head to dodge, but before he could escape, he was caught by Justin.

"So handsome guys sneeze too?" Justin laughed loudly.

Joshua said expressionlessly, "Handsome guys also go take sh—"

Before he could finish, Justin covered his mouth with one hand.

[...]

[Hahahahahahaha]

[I seriously have nothing to say]

[Joshua, what did you just say, kid? Did you forget you’re an idol?!]

[Please, idols don’t go to the bathroom. Idols don’t need showers and still smell good, please]

[HAHAHA stop it, I can’t take it anymore, my stomach hurts]

[I just had my appendix removed, if I keep reading the comments I’ll need stitches again]

[lol]

"Achoo!"

Joshua dodged Justin’s hand and sneezed again.

Henry couldn’t help saying, "Could it be a cold?"

Leonard muttered, "I think I brought cold medicine too."

Luther urged, "Hurry, hurry, let’s get home quickly."

Joshua didn’t pay much attention and said, "I’m not that fragile."

It wasn’t even cold.

Joshua thought to himself as they continued walking forward at a faster pace, listening to Ben describe the surrounding scenery while occasionally chatting with the fans.

Just then, Joshua suddenly stopped. He lowered his head and rubbed his eyes.

The fans immediately started asking what was wrong.

Henry walked over and pulled Joshua’s hand away, saying softly, "Don’t rub your eyes..."

But before he could finish, Joshua had already lifted his head. Everyone couldn’t help freezing. They only saw that Joshua’s face was now covered in tears, tears continuously spilling from his eyes. His wet eyes looked even more hazy and unfocused. One of his hands was uncontrollably scratching at his neck, while he kept sneezing nonstop.
