Chapter 282 Everything Goes Wrong

When July saw the look of resolve on Tang Xia’s face, she knew that she could not force the issue any further, so she stepped forward and gently stroked the back of her hand.

“Alright. Many things have happened recently. You need a good rest to settle your mood, so I will not force you anymore.”

Tang Xia felt slightly better when July did not persist any further. Although July was very considerate towards her on the surface, she knew that July really hoped that she would be able to participate.

Tang Xia sighed rather helplessly, “I’m sorry, I have really not been in a good state of mind for the past two days. It’s hard for me to breathe and it is as if there is a big rock weighing on my heart. I’m really not in the mood to do a live stream. I want to take a day off to rest.”

As she spoke, she turned to look at Ye Yifan, who was beside them and she said in a tone of voice that sounded a little indifferent and hostile, “Please assist July to take good care of the company’s matters.” After that, she slowly stood up and straightened her clothes.

“In that case, I’ll make a move first. The both of you can take your time to chat.”

After Tang Xia said that, she left without looking back, and she even closed the door after her. When July saw Tang Xia leaving like that, she too, had no other choice.

At that moment, Ye Yifan, who had been silent for a while, stood up all of a sudden. He looked at July absentmindedly and said, “Since Tang Xia is not doing the live stream, it’ll be meaningless if it is just me. I want to take a day off as well. ”

July was stunned for a moment. She did not expect that the two most popular celebrities in the company would both want to take a break at the same time. After Ye Yifan said this, he ran out hurriedly and, July, who had yet to recover from the situation, was left sitting alone on the sofa.

“Go then! Go then! Get as far away from me as you can! It would be better if you do not come back!” July said this angrily and resumed her work.

After Tang Xia came out of the company, she felt frustrated and distracted throughout the entire journey home. When she passed by the supermarket near her house, she suddenly stopped the car. She thought that she would have to replenish the vegetables at home and so, she went straight into the supermarket.

Tang Xia could not help but space out as she looked at the bunch of red and green vegetables in front of her, and she sighed helplessly. Just when she was spacing out, two girls, who were standing beside her, suddenly began to point and talk about her in a manner as if they were sounding her out.

“Look, why does this person look so familiar? Could she be Tang Xia from the live stream?”

When the girl beside her heard the name Tang Xia, she immediately rolled up her sleeves furiously and charged over. The other girl hurried forward to try to stop her, but it was to no avail.

She suddenly rushed forward and pushed Tang Xia aside. Tang Xia was caught unawares, and the sudden impact caused the apple she was holding in her hand, to drop onto the ground.

Tang Xia looked at the angry girl and inevitably had a slightly displeased look in her eyes. “Do I know you? Why are you behaving as if there is some deep grudge and hatred between us?”

The girl snorted coldly, “You don’t know me, but I definitely know you! You’re the anchor who won the first round of the match! You merely won because of your good relationship with Chu Tiankuo. What’s the big deal about that!”

Tang Xia felt increasingly strange. She looked at the girl for a long time, but she eventually decided to ignore her and bent to pick up the apple.

However, the moment she bent down, the girl lifted her foot and stomped on the apple. Tang Xia could not help frowning, and then, she looked into the eyes of the girl in front of her, who was clearly looking for trouble.

“I just want to ask you one thing now. What gives you the right to cheat so confidently and drive my Lu Huanyu away! How dare you? How great a backing do you have?”

Tang Xia then realized that this girl was a fan of Lu Huanyu, and she could not help but shake her head. She was just a brainless little fangirl.

Just when the little fangirl thought that Tang Xia had nothing to say, and she was about to continue with her sarcastic remarks, Tang Xia suddenly glared back at her with a sharp look in her eyes. Her sudden expression frightened the girl. “You… What do you want? Are you going to hit me, since you can’t win a verbal fight?”

All of a sudden, Tang Xia merely smiled coldly and folded her arms, as she looked at the girl. “Firstly, what is it to you, as to whether or not there is a relationship between Chu Tiankuo and myself?”

“Secondly, how did you know that I was cheating? Even the organizer did not say anything, so what gives you the right to spread the rumor? Thirdly, I don’t know if I have a backing or not. I only know that your Lu Huanyu’s backing is much bigger than mine.”

The little fangirl was instantly dumbfounded by Tang Xia’s sudden retorts. The girl who was standing by the side saw that the situation was not going well, and she quickly pulled the little fangirl away, with the intention to leave.

But how could Tang Xia let them go so easily? She directly grabbed hold of the girl and said righteously,

“Lastly, you were the one who made the first move. I did not do anything. You were the one who was clowning around and so, please compensate the supermarket for the apple on the ground. This will prove your caliber as a fan of Lu Huanyu.”

After Tang Xia said that, she directly let go of her hand and sneered coldly.

Many people had gathered around them, who had been attracted over by the little fangirl’s shouts. Naturally, there were also many people who had watched the match, and they were instantly impressed by how Tang Xia carried herself.

Tang Xia did not want to this matter to blow up either, so she carried her bag and rushed out through the crowd, directly.Updates by vi p novel

Tang Xia did not buy anything and left empty-handed. She felt that everything had not gone well for the past two days. She sighed as she walked towards her house, and she thought about making do with eating instant noodles.

However, as she walked on, she noticed that something seemed to be amiss and instantly turned her head back to take a look, but she found nothing.

“Is the hooligan incident from yesterday making me neurotic?”

She was still slightly shocked and tried to calm herself down. Just when she wanted to hurry home quickly, she could hear the footsteps behind her become increasingly louder.

It was impossible for Tang Xia to ignore it. After she turned her head around in panic, she saw a man standing behind her. When she focused her eyes on him, she saw that it was actually Ye Yifan.

Her tensed nerves instantly relaxed. “So it’s you. Why did you walk so quietly!” Tang Xia still felt slightly afraid and she inhaled deeply. Ye Yifan scratched his head, feeling slightly embarrassed and smiled, as he gradually walked over.

“Well, I saw that you were in a bad mood and I was worried that something might happen to you. I wanted to come forward just now at the supermarket, but I did not after I saw that you settled it by yourself.”

That was when Tang Xia realized that the unusual stares she had felt constantly at the supermarket earlier, was actually him staring at her.

“Why did you come to look for me?”

After Tang Xia’s fear subsided, both of them felt a sense of awkwardness, as they stood there. Ye Yifan scratched his head and he scanned the surroundings. Finally, he saw a tavern by the side of the road, and he instantly pointed at the tavern and said rather happily,

“Let’s have dinner. I suppose you have not eaten yet.” Tang Xia thought for a while, and she felt that since her other option would be to eat instant noodles, she readily agreed. Ye Yifan immediately pulled Tang Xia into the shop.

After they ordered some dishes, Tang Xia asked the waiter to serve some alcohol. Ye Yifan understood that she really needed to relieve her pent-up emotions, so, he did not stop her.

After the two of them drank together for a while, Tang Xia gradually became slightly drunk and her vision became a little blurred. Ye Yifan did not drink much, but Tang Xia drank continuously.

Ye Yifan took the alcohol bottle away from her hands rather helplessly. “Alright. Don’t drink anymore. Nobody drinks alcohol as if it was water like what you are doing!”

Tang Xia was slightly displeased, and she moved forward to snatch it. However, she did not manage to reach it even after several tries, and so she directly gave up. Instead, she started to choke up and her eyes turned red.

“Sorry, you must have been implicated by me. It’s all because of me that you were also subjected to public opinion. It’s all my fault. I’m definitely unsuitable to be a good anchor!”

“Perhaps my initial desire to be a streamer was a wrong decision to begin with …” As Tang Xia spoke, her emotions became slightly unstable, and she began to wail out loud.

Ye Yifan was slightly at a loss as to what to do, and he quickly moved over, put Tang Xia’s head on his shoulder, and patted her back gently, to comfort her.

“No, I have not been implicated by you at all. Don’t think of it that way. You can’t be blamed for everything. Furthermore, the others might not be aware, but don’t I know about it? Chu Tiankuo was the one who refused to let you off all along, and you have nothing to do with it!”

When Tang Xia listened to Ye Yifan’s consoling words, she merely felt as if she had found a confidant, and she threw herself into his arms and broke down in tears.

“I knew it! Finally, someone understands me! Do you know how terrible I felt during this period of time! It’s all because of Chu Tiankuo!”

Ye Yifan also felt helpless. However, after Ye Yifan’s consoling words, Tang Xia did take things easier and the knot in her heart eased greatly. The relationship between the both of them also improved slightly.

That night, Ye Yifan was the one who sent the drunk Tang Xia back to her house. But he left after he tucked her in bed.

The next day, Tang Xia felt her head aching badly when she woke up. She usually did not have the habit of getting drunk to the point where she blacked out. She remembered how she went crazy after she was drunk last night, and felt her cheeks burning..

However, when she recalled what Ye Yifan had said, she could not help but smile with relief. She then turned to change her clothes and head to the company to work, in a new and refreshed mood.

July was stunned when she saw how refreshed Tang Xia looked, and she then laughed and said, “Why? Your mood has really improved today, merely after a day off?”

Tang Xia also laughed, feeling slightly embarrassed and stuck out her tongue mischievously.

“Sorry July. Aren’t I here to work now? Oh right. I want to participate in the internal testing of the Fantasy Castle.”

When July saw the positive and firm expression on Tang Xia’s face, she could not help but feel even more curious about what could have happened yesterday, and how that actually transformed the dejected Tang Xia into the current fully rejuvenated Tang Xia.

July watched Tang Xia as though she was looking at an alien, and she then sighed helplessly and patted Tang Xia’s shoulder gently.

“The internal testing was postponed. The first round of participants for the internal testing met with an accident during the live stream. It was considered an accident as it impacted the brains of all of the participating anchors in varying degrees.”

Tang Xia was stunned for a moment, and she looked at July in disbelief. Coincidentally, Ye Yifan suddenly came in right at that moment, and he naturally heard what July just said. He frowned with an unreadable expression on his face, and then looked at Tang Xia and teased her,

“Luckily you were in a bad mood yesterday. Otherwise, you would have been one of those whose brains were affected.”
