Wang Yue sensed Nie Xiguang's excitement and more or less understood why she felt that way. He picked her up and held her close, letting her curl up in his arms.
After a deep kiss, Wang Yue smiled and asked, "So, you found out how I handled the rumors?"

Nie Xiguang nodded slightly, then asked, still a little unsure, "I knew you'd help me deal with the rumors. But I never expected you to handle them like this!"
Wang Yue could hear the surprise in her voice, but she also sounded happy, so he smiled and said,
"Rumors have to be stamped out with an iron fist as soon as they start spreading!

"So rather than let the rumors torment you, why not make the people spreading them—and the ones watching for a show—feel uncomfortable instead?
"Anyway, I won't let my Xigua suffer!"
Nie Xiguang was happy, but once that happiness settled, another concern came to mind. She asked uncertainly,
"But after all this, we won't be living in the same dorm anymore!

Wang Yue smiled. "Sure, I'll move back. It's only a few minutes away, anyway!
"If it's lunchtime, I can drive us home to rest, then we'll have plenty of time to get back in the afternoon!"
Nie Xiguang was a little disappointed that she wouldn't get to see her dorm friends, but the thought of spending lunch with Wang Yue
