B: “I’m a manager at Wu Yi Fan’s studio~ I’m also the manager taking care of Fan Fan right now. This year, we’re recruiting new artists and preparing to expand in the industry~”
“He kept drinking with me afterwards and we had a bit too much. That day at the hotel, I became unconscious but we still did it.
Everything was a blur to me when I woke up the next day. I couldn’t really remember what happened because I drank too much. I left first.
Then, the day after, he wanted me at the hotel again to keep him company. And I really thought I might be getting romantically involved with a celebrity. But I didn’t know if I should be scared or happy. It was a feeling that can’t be described.
After that, he left. We still kept in contact at first, but we never met again after that. I fantasized about him contacting me later on… But it was just a fantasy.
He eventually cut off all contact. Recently, something bad happened to me so I wanted to contact him. But I couldn’t find his WeChat account anymore.
I saw that a lot of girls have experienced the same thing as I did… Getting abandoned after being lied to, so I thought I should step forward and talk about this. Girls, don’t let yourselves become someone’s toy — even if that person is some fancy celebrity. You should not underestimate the damage that can do to you.”
