Chapter 39

These actions alone could express what kind of mind Ye Zhi had. Gu Ren had long discovered that she was very different from what other people thought of her.

Ye Zhi didn’t continue to speculate about it. She felt that she knew Gu Ren’s secret and needed to comfort him. Ye Zhi pondered and then said, “In fact, night blindness also has many benefits.”

Gu Ren raised an eyebrow and asked, “Is that right?”

Ye Zhi’s tone was very serious, “Although you can’t see at night, you can listen. Your sense of touch will certainly be much sharper than usual.”

“Now listen carefully. What’s the noise outside the window?”

Gu Ren turned his head, his eyes were still dark. However, he could hear the sound of cicadas in the silence of the night.

Ye Zhi continued, “You can actually enjoy these sounds and...”

Before Ye Zhi finished speaking, the lights suddenly turned on and the brightness extended to every corner.

On the second floor, only Gu Ren and Ye Zhi were left alone again. The atmosphere was awkwardly silent.

Gu Ren looked at Ye Zhi. He looked down at Ye Zhi’s hand. His voice slowed down, “I’m sorry. I got carried away.”

Ye Zhi raised her head and answered in a calm voice but she averted his eyes, “It’s all right. Good night...”

With that, Ye Zhi walked quickly back to her room.

Gu Ren looked at Ye Zhi’s back and a chuckle sounded in the air. He said in a low voice, “Good night.”

While netizens were questioning how Sheng Man lied, Sheng Man’s agency immediately figured out a way to divert their attention before things got out of hand.

It seemed that Sheng Man was oblivious to the evaluation of her on the internet at all and her company posted a Weibo as the usual.

In this Weibo post, Sheng Man was holding a lottery ticket. It was a raffle contest in order to thank the fans. The prize was this year’s limited edition Dior bag.

Sheng Man did this every once in a while so it was not abrupt. Some netizens’ attention had been diverted but a small number of them were still persisting on the issue.

Sheng Man’s move just barely suppressed some of the discussion. The agency believed that Ye Zhi wouldn’t directly admit the matter anyway so who would believe the allegation.

As time went by, no one would remember that Sheng Man had lied.
