Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A University’s News Agency also suddenly rose to fame.
It even received personal recognition from the principal.
The periodical “Influential Figures” received strong support from the school, and interview requests came from numerous quarters.
It even included some big names from society.
The buzz caused by a campus media was almost unprecedented.
Almost everyone in the news agency became a campus celebrity.
Of course, Xia Yangyang, the hostess of the interview, was thrust into the limelight even more.
At first, Xia Yangyang didn’t take it too seriously.
Until the topic about her shifted from her family background to gossip, from gossip to support rumors.
It was during lunch, when Wen Xiaochu showed Xia Yangyang the gossips on the forum: “Everyone is saying, the reason Qi Chen accepted your interview is because he’s supporting you, Yangyang. These rumors are getting worse these days, you might want to clear it up.”
Xia Yangyang was eating her favorite braised pork ribs at the time.
She glanced at it and said nonchalantly: “Forget it, the innocent are always clear. As time goes on, these sorts of rumors will disappear naturally.”
Wen Xiaochu sighed: “All you know is eating. You’re a journalism student, don’t you know the principle of three people making a tiger? I think someone is jealous of you and deliberately defaming you, it’s amazing how generous you are.”
She’s not generous, it’s just that Xia Yangyang knows there must be someone behind this, directing the public opinion.
The first post was posted anonymously, and the follow-ups were numbering in the hundreds and thousands.
But Xia Yangyang knew in her heart that this news was likely tied to Gong Xue’er.
The support rumors grew increasingly rampant.
When Xia Yangyang walked down the street, people always looked at her with strange eyes.
Xia Yangyang thought she could ignore it, but being constantly scrutinized and discussed made her very gloomy.
In the evening, while Xia Yangyang was studying in the library, there were murmurs around her.
Vaguely, Xia Yangyang could hear her name, along with support, such keywords.
Xia Yangyang felt that she could no longer stay in even the quietest library.
So she packed her things, planning to go straight back to Maple Villa.
As soon as she left school, Xia Yangyang suddenly remembered that Qi Chen seemed to be on a business trip back home today.
On a whim, Xia Yangyang checked the flight schedule from Melbourne to Feng City.
The last flight would arrive in half an hour.
And it’s a half-hour drive from the university to the Fung city airport.
Xia Yangyang hesitated for a moment, then hailed a cab and went to Feng City International Airport.
When Xia Yangyang arrived, the plane had not yet landed.
It was reportedly delayed due to weather.
Xia Yangyang thought since she was here already, she waited inside the terminal.
Unexpectedly, she ended up waiting for four hours.
Qi Chen arrived around midnight, by which time Xia Yangyang had drifted off on a chair.
She was gently awakened by Qi Chen.
Xiayangyang rubbed her eyes in a daze, then Qi Chen’s handsome face came into view.
Xia Yangyang woke up with a start, rubbing her eyes: “You’re here, I came to pick you up.”
The look in Xia Yangyang’s eyes seemed a bit different from usual, Qi Chen’s voice was unusually softer: “Why didn’t you send me a message in advance?”
Xia Yangyang smiled: “I wanted to surprise you, but I didn’t expect to fall asleep. By the way, how did you find me?”
Qi Chen took off his coat and draped it over Xia Yangyang’s shoulders: “You sleep so hideously, it’d be hard not to discover.”
Xia Yangyang:
The truth was that, when Qi Chen came out, there were a lot of people in the hall.
But Qi Chen spotted Xia Yangyang in an instant. She was curled up in a corner like a small cat, sleeping soundly.
At that moment, it was as if a feather had fallen on his heart, making it unbearably soft.
How long had this girl been waiting here?
