Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Sun Hu was surprised. After the incident with Wu Jia, Zhang Chao and Sun Hu discussed the matter. Zhang Chao had also told Sun Hu about being falsely accused by Wu Jia.
Sun Hu had thought that these two individuals would never cross paths again, but fate had other plans.
Yesterday, Zhang Chao had been lured out of Matcharia by Wu Jia. He had followed her to a narrow alley. Initially, Zhang Chao had intended to grab his phone and leave, but in the ensuing argument, their clothes had become somewhat disheveled.
To Zhang Chao’s surprise, when Wu Jia’s scheme didn’t work, she got furious and, in a fit of rage, actually damaged Zhang Chao’s phone. She loudly accused him of inappropriate behavior, causing Zhang Chao to once again be surrounded by onlookers.
Zhang Chao felt that this year had truly been unlucky for him. He seemed to keep running into all sorts of troubles.
Just as Zhang Chao and Sun Hu had finished complaining about Wu Jia, MO Shut s assistant rushed over in a hurry. She said, “Something big has happened! MO Shu is trending!”
MO Shu had just finished filming his new drama, and it was currently in the promotional phase. Trending online was a common occurrence during such times, so Zhang Chao dismissively said, “So what if he’s trending? Why make a big deal out of it?”
The assistant sighed in relief before continuing, “This time it’s different! MO
Shu is trending because of a rumored romantic relationship!”
“What!” Both Zhang Chao and Sun Hu were shocked. MO Shu had been in the industry for three years without a single scandal, let alone a rumored girlfriend. Now, he was trending due to a romantic relationship?
They quickly checked the trending topic, and to their astonishment, the rumored girlfriend was none other than Xia Xin!
The trending topic was filled with pictures of them hugging and getting cozy in front of a bar, taken from an angle that made their poses look intimate. Their faces were incredibly close!
In an instant, Sun Hut s mind was blown. He said, “Xia Xin was so low-key, and now she suddenly stirs up such a big mess!”
Just earlier, Zhang Chao had mocked Xia Xin as a new artist prone to making mistakes, and now, the subject of her mistake had become his own artist. Both of them hurriedly grabbed their phones and started making calls to handle the situation.
When Sun Hu called Xia Xin, she was at home playing Five-in-a-Row with Jing Mo. It was a tense moment in the game, with the board almost filled up, but no winner had emerged.
Just as it was Xia Xin’s turn to make a move, her phone rang, startling her so much that she nearly tossed the game pieces across the room. She answered the call and was greeted by Sun Hu’s furious shout, “Where are you right now?!” Confused, Xia Xin replied, “I’m at home. What’s wrong? You seem really agitated.”
Sun Hu exploded, “And you dare to ask! Look at the trending topics! Stay at home and don’t move. I’m coming to find you! You’d better explain what’s going on with this trending topic!”
Xia Xin and Jing MO exchanged a glance. They both took out their phones to check the trending topic.
After reading it, Xia Xin exclaimed in shock, “Why does it look so ambiguous even though it was just a girl saving a hero scenario?!”
The comments from netizens were a mixed bag. Some were supportive, saying things like, [Have you noticed that Xia Xin changed her profile? It turns out she signed with Stellar Entertainment just to be in the same company as MO Shu.
What a golden couple. I support it!]
But there were more negative comments. One of MO Shu’s die-hard fans wrote, [This woman is just an internet celebrity. She jumps on anyone’s bandwagon when they’re popular. Why did MO Shu end up with her? I’m gonna unfollow him!]
Another comment insinuated, [Didn’t you notice that MO Shu was drunk? He must have been tricked into bed by Xia Xin!]
With various opinions, Xia Xin once again became the target of online criticism. She looked at the comments and muttered, “Why are these netizens making such random comments? I was just trying to help, but they make it sound like I’m causing trouble.”
Xia Xin casually put her phone down, but when she looked up, she saw Jing Mo’s stern and silent expression. Feeling inexplicably guilty, she snatched his phone and set it aside. She said, “Forget it, don’t read the comments. These netizens don’t differentiate right from wrong; they just throw around baseless accusations.”
Jing MO, with an expressionless face, gazed at Xia Xin and said, “Didn’t you say it was just helping someone? You didn’t tell me about such an intimate encounter. ”
‘Uh… was that the main point?’ Xia Xin thought.
Panicking, Xia Xin quickly explained, “He was so weak at that moment; if I didn’t support him, he wouldn’t have been able to walk.” Jing MO remained silent..
