"You..." Zou Yuxing sniffed, "I knew you'd come looking for me."
Sure enough, he and Wen Feiran were best friends. Wen Feiran would tell him important things, but only in private!
Wen Feiran vaguely sensed that Zou Yuxing had misunderstood, so she could only say vaguely, "Um, I wanted to ask, can I date? Will I get scolded? Gu Suian too."
Zou Yuxing before he understood his thought process.
"It's true that idols have a hard time dating, but Brother Gu went back to inherit the family business a long time ago. As for you, you exude an aura of 'I'm just working in the entertainment industry, and I'll go home after this episode.' You guys haven't benefited from the fame, so of course you won't get criticized. Maybe you will, but you can't please everyone, so don't take it too seriously."
Hearing this, Wen Feiran finally breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
"Can I ask you a question?" Zou Yuxing observed his expression and took the opportunity to ask.
Wen Feiran knew that Zou Yuxing's thought process was always unpredictable, and she was too embarrassed to refuse him, so she could only compromise, "You can only ask one question, and I won't say a word more than that."
"Okay, no problem." Zou Yuxing didn't even hesitate, clearly this question had been on his mind for a long time, "Have you already married Brother Gu?"
Wen Feiran:...????!
He panicked instantly, not caring if his overreaction aroused suspicion, and grabbed Zou Yuxing's collar. "Why are you saying that?"
Zou Yuxing paused for a moment, then handed his phone to Wen Feiran.
Wen Feiran remained silent, her fingers moving incessantly. Her expression gradually changed from shock to blankness, until finally it seemed as if her soul had left her body, and she just kept scrolling blankly.
There are all sorts of news online, with various details and other people involved, all described in a very detailed and logical way. If he weren't directly involved, he would have believed it all to be true.
He was relieved to have kept the most crucial information to himself when he said he was "not single," but now he's been completely exposed by netizens spreading rumors.
Chapter 67 When things get ruthless, they don't even spare themselves.
Wen Feiran's face was really pale, and he looked like he was about to faint at any moment. Zou Yuxing was not good at comforting people, so he said stiffly, "Try to take it easy. It's easy to be like this in the entertainment industry. Almost everyone has to deal with rumors. Maybe after a while, everyone will forget about it."
Wen Feiran's brain had stopped working, and she asked unconsciously, "What about you? Have you ever had any scandals?"
That was a killer line. Zou Yuxing was now silent. He usually avoided this question, but for his good friend's sake, Zou Yuxing gritted his teeth and said, "Of course there is."
With whom?
Zou Yuxing's tongue danced a breakdance in his mouth as he spoke in an indistinct tone, "... Su Shangting."
He closed his eyes tightly, looking as if he couldn't bear to recall the past, "Su Shangting and I have been fighting since we were kids, it's either you die or I die, but we still have CP fans, they all say I'm mortal enemies, arguing under the bed, fighting in bed... just like you're thinking, when I saw this comment I had nightmares all night, I was so disgusted I didn't eat all day."
Wen Feiran, though seemingly dazed, grasped the key point precisely. "Why? Is it because of the content of your nightmare?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
Wen Feiran recovered, but Zou Yuxing was in terrible condition, looking like he wanted to rip his brain out.
"Don't overthink it, I was just asking casually." Wen Feiran tried to change the subject. "Is everything you said true? Will everyone forget about it after a while?"
Zou Yuxing said, "As long as a more compelling couple appears, everyone's attention will be diverted."
Wen Feiran blinked. "When will an even better ship appear?"
"Well..." Zou Yuxing said honestly, "You can pray."
Wen Feiran: "."
He paused, then asked, still unwilling to give up, "Everyone should know this is fake, right?"
"Maybe," Zou Yuxing paused, then said meaningfully, "Tell me quickly how far your relationship with Brother Gu has progressed. Give me the right to know, and I can stand by you and help you cover it up."
Before Wen Feiran could speak, she suddenly realized she'd been led astray. "Wait, who said we were together?"
"At the time, our answer was 'not single,' and we didn't acknowledge our relationship. Maybe we each liked someone else."
Zou Yuxing, as a party involved, witnessed the entire event, but his expression momentarily blankened. "Ah, how could I forget..."
Wen Feiran looked at him, her heart sinking to the bottom.
Even Zou Yuxing has been brainwashed, which shows what kind of trend online public opinion is going.
He closed his eyes tightly, no longer wanting to face this cruel world.
Zou Yuxing and continued, "So, does that mean Brother Gu is with someone else?"
Wen Feiran originally wanted to conceal their relationship, and there was nothing wrong with saying that, but hearing these words made him very uncomfortable, and he instinctively glared at Zou Yuxing.
Zou Yuxing didn't react immediately, her face completely innocent. "Am I not telling the truth? Or are you saying you don't want to?"
He seemed to have found the right answer. His eyes widened, and after holding back for a long time, he finally swallowed the words that had made Wen Feiran furious, only letting out a soft "Ouch!"
"I asked you to help me solve my problem, not to gossip!" Wen Feiran didn't want to continue the topic, but Zou Yuxing's eyes darted around and he excitedly shoved his head in front of him, so he couldn't help but speak up.
"Okay, seasoned Xiao Zou is at your service."
Wen Feiran needed an outlet, so she spoke her mind, "I really thought I hid it quite well, so why did so many people still see through it?"
