In the tense atmosphere of the elevator, Anthon inadvertently caught two girls whispering, and the content made him feel both angry and troubled. One of the girls asked in a low voice, "Hey, hey! Is Haohao gay? I see him being very close to that chubby guy." Her words carried an unrealistic curiosity and casual speculation. 0
 
The other girl nodded in agreement and added, "Yeah! And Haohao also doesn't seem to have a girlfriend, with such a muscular body... it feels very possible!" After speaking, the two girls looked at each other and smiled, a kind of infatuated smile spreading across their faces, as if they were enjoying the pleasure of this little gossip. 0
 
 
This conversation quickly spread among the fans in the elevator. Some fans who recognized Haohao began to discuss the topic in hushed tones. The atmosphere in the elevator became subtle, with many fans showing great interest in this gossip. They whispered to each other, discussing Haohao's private life and sexual orientation. This discussion carried a certain excitement and thrill, especially among the girls, who exchanged glances, occasionally letting out suppressed giggles, and delving into more detailed discussions. 0
 
This situation made Anthon very displeased. He knew that baseless speculation and public discussion of someone's private life in such a public setting was very disrespectful. Anthon glanced around at the other people in the elevator, confirming that these whispered conversations had not attracted wider attention. He gently tugged on Haohao's sleeve and quietly revealed to him the content of the two girls' conversation. 0
 
 
Haohao listened and, although he tried to maintain a calm expression, he undoubtedly felt some discomfort inside. Faced with this situation, he knew he needed to handle it carefully to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings or negative impacts on the conversation. Haohao adjusted his emotions and then turned to the fans who were discussing, speaking with his calm and firm voice: "Hello everyone, I know there may be various curiosities about public figures, but personal orientation and private life are private matters, and each of us should be respected." 0
 
Although this statement may not have immediately changed everyone's attitudes, it did make some fans aware of their inappropriate behavior, and the discussion in the elevator gradually quieted down. Haohao's handling not only demonstrated his maturity and professionalism as a public figure, but also taught everyone present a lesson about the importance of respect and privacy. 0
 
 
In the elevator, despite Haohao's best efforts to quell discussions about his personal life, the whispers continued to echo in the space, causing noticeable psychological pressure for him and Anthon. Every second of the elevator's slow descent felt like an elongated stretch of time, an excruciating experience for them. Their moods became unusually heavy due to these baseless speculations and unnecessary attention. 0
 
When the elevator finally "dinged" and reached the first floor, Haohao and Anthon almost immediately rushed out of the elevator. They were eager to escape the suffocating atmosphere, to get away from the unpleasant murmurs and curious glances. Stepping out of the elevator, both of them almost instinctively quickened their pace, simply wanting to leave this uncomfortable environment as soon as possible. 0
 
 
Walking ahead, Anthon had a gloomy expression, with his facial muscles tensing even more, his brows furrowed tightly, and the corners of his mouth slightly downturned. Clearly, this experience had left him feeling quite dissatisfied and frustrated. Seeing Anthon in this state, Haohao felt a mix of emotions. He felt self-blame, thinking that his public identity had caused trouble for Anthon, and also a sense of helplessness, as these kinds of situations always seemed difficult to completely avoid. 0
 
As they walked out of the building, they were greeted by a wide street and the freedom of fresh air. The two of them tacitly chose not to discuss the recent events, silently moving forward in the crowd, each contemplating how to handle the personal troubles caused by their public identities. In that moment, despite being surrounded by familiar friends, Haohao and Anthon both felt an indescribable sense of loneliness. 0
 
 
Under the night sky, Taipei 101 towered behind them, its lights illuminating the surrounding urban area. However, the atmosphere between Haohao and Anthon was as heavy as dark clouds, making it hard to breathe. Anthon was visibly downcast, his expression serious. After a moment of silence, he turned towards a nearby street and weakly hailed a taxi. 0
 
Seeing this, Haohao sensed the severity of the situation and hurried to catch up, attempting to ease the sudden tension. He softly said, "Hey, Anthon, don't take it too hard, they were just joking!" His tone carried urgency and concern, hoping to soften Anthon's current mood. 0
 
 
However, Anthon's expression remained tense. Turning around, his eyes were filled with contradiction and confusion, and his voice carried uncontrollable emotional fluctuations: "I really don't know, Haohao. What exactly is our relationship? Aren't we just friends?" 0
 
Anthon's eyes became even more bewildered, as if he had lost his way in the city lights of the late night. He continued, "I don't know if it's because of the idle gossip of those fans that has confused me, or if I really have... different feelings for you." 0
 
 
This confession shocked Haohao deeply. He had never imagined that Anthon would have such conflicts and struggles. Watching Anthon's internal pain and confusion, Haohao's heart also sank. His heart was filled with complex emotions. At that moment, he realized that their relationship might have exceeded the boundaries of ordinary friendship. Haohao's voice carried a firm and gentle strength: " Anthon, no matter how deep your inner struggles are, I will support you here. We don't need to rush to define our relationship. What matters is that I care about you. Regardless of your ultimate feelings, I will be here as your friend, your supporter, and by your side." 0
