In front of the television, Conner lounged on the sofa, watching Lin Qi and Catherine on the program. A relaxed, contented smile naturally spread across his face.
Lin Qi had never disappointed anyone. His abilities, methods, and boldness were the only ones Conner had ever seen in all these years.
There were people more outstanding than Lin Qi, but very few. As for anyone who could achieve this much at his age, aside from God, there was only him! So Conner was not worried in the slightest that the public opinion outside would cause any problems for Catherine's campaign. Even he, at this very moment, felt during the interview that all the rumors were nothing more than blatant envy, or even hatred, toward the two of them! The host continued discussing other rumors, such as the claim that Catherine kept away from social interaction because she was aloof or autistic.
Lin Qi did not actually need to help her explain this issue. She could explain it clearly herself.
"They said one second that I bullied people at school and was rude, then the next that I was aloof and autistic."
"Actually, it isn't difficult to tell whether a rumor is true. You only need to see whether the rumors make sense when considered together."
"Their creators definitely weren't the same person. If they had been, they might have sorted out the details. At the very least, they wouldn't have spread rumors that contradicted each other."
"Back then, I spent most of my time studying. Although my grades in high school were excellent, I had been away from an academic environment for too long."
"The only truth in those rumors was that I had trouble keeping up with my classmates' progress, so I needed to spend more time on my studies."
