Chapter 167: Truth or Dare 2
[They already broke up, so why bring up an ex? I don’t blame Riley Perry for calling her out. That woman’s crazy!]
Riley Perry took a sip of her drink, then calmly answered, "I won’t."
Holly Summers gloated inwardly. She had thought Riley would beat around the bush, deflect the question, or just pick a dare. ’I can’t believe she’s this stupid!’
"Why? Are you afraid of losing fans?"
The air fell silent. Even the livestream chat went blank for a moment.
Riley Perry glanced at Holly Summers with a faint, unreadable smile. ’This woman really can’t wait, can she? What a coincidence, I’m a little impatient myself—impatient to watch her dig her own grave.’
"That was supposed to be for the next question, but since you’re so eager to know the answer, I don’t mind answering it now.
First of all, I’m definitely going to have a boyfriend at some point. So for any fans who would stop supporting me just because I’m in a relationship, you can go ahead and unfollow me now.
—To my fans: You’re better off being career fans. We can encourage each other and grow together! But stay out of my love life. When it comes to that stuff, it’s not just that you can’t control me—I can’t even control myself!
Second, I’m an actor, not an idol.
Of course, whether you’re an actor, a singer, or an idol, we’re all entertainers. Entertainers are public figures, but we’re also entitled to our personal privacy.
Things like dating—I’ll talk about them if I want to, and I won’t if I don’t. That’s my prerogative.
As for whether I’m afraid of losing fans? People know me because of my dramas and my variety show appearances, not because of my relationships.
Those who like me will continue to like me. And those who don’t aren’t going to turn from haters into fans just because I announce I’m dating someone.
That’s my answer.
Alright, isn’t it my turn to spin the bottle now?"
Best Actor King laughed. "Yes, go ahead and spin." ’You rarely see an entertainer this straightforward in the industry.’
[Riley Perry, I’m your fan, and I won’t stop being one just because you get a boyfriend. Let’s encourage each other and grow together!]
[I’m a senior in high school this year, and I hope to get into the same university Riley graduated from so I can be an alumna too.]
[You’ll have to work really hard then. That’s Kingsbridge University, the top-ranked university in the country. Do you have any idea how competitive it is?]
[Hehe, I think I still have a shot.]
[Caught a brainiac. Kid, why are you watching a variety show instead of studying? Oh, right, I forgot. It’s the National Day holiday, so students are on break.]
[I’m not a fan of anyone in particular, but Riley Perry is right. She’s an entertainer, but she has a right to privacy. People should just focus on her work. There’s no need to be so concerned about everything else.]
[The entertainment industry is full of fake people. There are players who put up a "single" front, and couples who take jobs together even though they’ve been divorced for five years. Someone as genuine as Riley Perry is a rare breed.]
[How can you say she’s genuine? She’s obviously even more fake! Holly Summers was right. The only reason she won’t go public is that she’s afraid of losing fans, right?]
[To the person above, are you dense? She already said she’s definitely going to date someone, but she just won’t make a special announcement about it. That’s her right!]
Riley Perry didn’t know it, but several other celebrities who saw the clip went to her Weibo page and followed her. ’You’re good at this, so please say more!’ The feeling of being constantly watched by fans, forbidden from falling in love, was absolutely terrible. If more people like Riley Perry spoke up, maybe fans would stop being so extreme!
Riley Perry was still unaware of all this. She placed her hand on the bottle on the table, shot a look at Holly Summers with that same faint smile, and gave it a gentle spin. The mouth of the bottle pointed to Chloe Sterling.
"I have a question for Chloe. I’ve noticed you’re eating a lot more now. Can you tell me what your current weight is?"
Chloe Sterling: ... ’Girl, you don’t have to be so blatant with the advertising.’
"101 pounds."
Riley Perry feigned surprise. "You lost the weight so fast, didn’t you? I remember you were around 130 pounds, right? How long has it been, and you’ve already dropped 29 pounds!
Don’t lose any more weight, or you’ll have to start carrying bricks in your pocket on windy days."
The livestream chat exploded with laughter: [She’s not so skinny that the wind would blow her away, but she really did lose weight fast. The key is that Chloe Sterling looks so healthy. She eats whatever she wants, and she didn’t even complain once during the hike today.]
[Chloe Sterling, please, I’m begging you! Drop the link for those diet pills! I’m 5’3" and 175 pounds. I desperately need a miracle pill like that!]
[Same here, please! Just stop advertising and take my money! Drop the link already!]
The chat was flooded with people begging for the link. Everyone still remembered Chloe Sterling’s old chubby face, and now she had slimmed down so much her chin was sharp. What woman wouldn’t want a diet pill that worked so well?
[Chloe Sterling’s studio just posted on Weibo! The weight-loss pills Chloe is endorsing will officially launch on October 8th. They’ll be sold in all major pharmacies. Ladies, get your wallets ready!]
[For real? For real? Money is no object for me. I’m definitely buying eight or ten boxes to stock up!]
Rhona, who had been glued to the variety show, was grinning from ear to ear. She could already imagine their product sales leaving all competitors in the dust on the 8th.
Chloe Sterling started to spin the bottle. Victoria Koenig and the others all answered a round of questions. Since no one had any grudges against each other, the questions were naturally about work. Only someone crazy, like Holly Summers, would immediately jump to personal matters.
Holly Summers was getting antsy. She was still waiting for a chance to question Riley Perry. ’What am I supposed to do if the bottle doesn’t land on me?’
Finally, the mouth of the bottle pointed to Holly Summers.
And the one who had spun it was none other than Riley Perry.
’I’m just that kind, always eager to help those in need. Didn’t Holly Summers want a turn? Well, I’m happy to oblige!’
"It’s your turn. I’ll ask a rather personal question, too. How old were you when you had your first love?"
Holly Summers put on a shy expression and said coyly, "I’ve been so busy with work I just haven’t had time to date."
Riley Perry watched her with that same faint smile. "In Truth or Dare, you have to tell the truth."
Holly Summers replied, "I am telling the truth. Don’t you believe me?"
Everyone: ’What do you think?’
Riley Perry nodded. "That’s good, then."
Holly was panicking inside. Her hand reached for the bottle out of habit, but at this point, she wasn’t sure she could even control its spin precisely anymore.
But, whether by good luck or bad, the bottle landed on Riley Perry again.
A wave of delight washed over Holly Summers. She finally had another chance to question Riley Perry. "Riley, it’s my turn. A lot of people online are saying you only got on Director Warren’s show because your sugar daddy invested in it. Is that true?"
Riley Perry smiled and asked, "You really hope it’s true, don’t you?"
Holly Summers quickly waved her hands. "No, no, that’s not what I meant. It’s just that I’ve seen so many people talking about it online. I thought you could take this opportunity to clear things up. Of course, if you don’t want to answer, you can always pick a dare."
