It was presented with reasons and evidence, and many people actually believed it.
Yan Xiyue continued to scroll down, and soon found a paid article at the very bottom, titled "Three or Two Things That Must Be Said Between the School Bully and the Academic God."
Yan Xiyue clutched her heart, closed her eyes, and paid to open the article, determined to see how they had fabricated such a piece out of thin air.
The article described the content in such detail, as if it were witnessed firsthand, with mentions of the school bully cooking for love and sweet interactions. These were clearly fabricated events, yet the article described them in extreme detail, as if they had truly happened, proving that the writer had at least many years of experience in writing such sensational pieces.
Yan Xiyue suppressed her shame, her face a mask of embarrassment, as she finished reading the entire article. She felt an overwhelming urge to escape this world.
It was over! If her classmates and acquaintances saw such an outrageous article, how would they tease her! If all of this were true, she would accept it. The problem was, was there a single true thing in this article?
With a complex mix of emotions, Yan Xiyue turned off her phone. She wouldn't turn it on again today. She needed to calm down and figure out if she and the other person had truly done anything excessive, or if people's imaginations were just too wild. She vowed to find out who wrote this article!
As soon as Xing Yuan finished dropping off Yan Xiyue, she received a call from Bai Mao. He told her mysteriously that he had done something big. Although Xing Yuan didn't think Bai Mao was capable of anything surprising, she had nothing else to do, so she decided to go and see.
After hanging up the phone, Bai Mao's eyes were filled with excitement. He had done such a great deed this time; surely the boss would praise him! Perhaps he could even be promoted to her right-hand man!
This was his greatest wish at the moment.
"Hurry up and write a few more articles while the topic is still hot!" Bai Mao urged the young man who was furiously typing on his computer.
He had paid a hefty sum to hire this young editor, who was skilled at writing sweet little stories, all to help his boss achieve her wish sooner. Look, he was such a responsible subordinate!
Bai Mao was so moved by himself that as soon as Xing Yuan arrived, he poured out everything he had done, looking at Xing Yuan with eager anticipation.
"Well done!" Xing Yuan praised as she used Bai Mao's phone to open the school forum.
How could she not have thought of using this method? This way, everyone would know that "Ah Jie" was hers, which was such a delightful thought!
Xing Yuan also opened the article, but her expression was somewhat displeased. "Here! Don't be so concise here. It's better to be more detailed. You should find someone to take candid photos later. Make sure this incident is publicized properly."
"Understood!" Bai Mao replied, his heart filled with reverence. The boss was indeed the boss; she could find so many problems even in a small article.
"Yes, you've done a great job with this. Is there anything you want as a reward?" Xing Yuan asked seriously. Such a useful talent should not be mistreated.
"No, as long as I can be by your side and watch you display your might, I'm already very happy," Bai Mao said, subtly flattering her.
"Alright, I'll let you choose, or I'll decide myself. I heard you've been obsessed with a certain athlete recently. How about I get you a set of his sneakers and jersey, along with some matching merchandise?" Xing Yuan said casually.
When it came to money, she had never been lacking.
"Then thank you, boss!" Bai Mao said gleefully. The boss was always generous, which was one of the main reasons she attracted so many followers.
Xing Yuan nodded, and after offering some of her valuable suggestions for improvement, she prepared to leave.
In a good mood, she suddenly remembered something important. Hmm, it seemed someone had bullied her wife today.
Bullying her wife > Bullying her.
No, she had to go and get acquainted with that person who had lost all desire to live in this world.
So she blocked Zhang Yu's usual path. As he passed a small alley, she threw a black sack over his head and dragged him inside.
Then came a barrage of punches and kicks, "Crackling!"
After a long while, Xing Yuan clapped her hands and left without a trace.
If she hadn't been concerned about her image in her wife's eyes before, she would have acted long ago. How could she have let him be safe for several hours?
The next day, as soon as Xing Yuan arrived, she saw Yan Xiyue looking at her with a hesitant expression.
She hadn't slept well all night, but she didn't know if she was more worried about others' opinions or Xing Yuan's. Perhaps she also knew deep down that Xing Yuan was not as harmless as she appeared.
Xing Yuan naturally knew the reason, but she couldn't let on that she knew, so she looked at Yan Xiyue with an innocent and bewildered expression.
"What's wrong?"
After much hesitation, Yan Xiyue finally chose to conceal it. She simply didn't know how to bring up the strange rumors about the two of them.
"It's nothing. There are just some rumors lately. It's not serious, and the hype should die down in a while."
"Oh!" Xing Yuan pretended to be indifferent and nodded.
No rush. Let the bullets fly for a while longer. When everything is in place, her prey will have nowhere to escape. When it comes to hunting, she has always possessed extraordinary patience.
The following days passed as usual. Every day, Xing Yuan thoughtfully brought Yan Xiyue breakfast and stayed by her side, never leaving her. This led to the rumors on the school forum intensifying.
This was the result Xing Yuan wanted to see. As for Yan Xiyue, she had tried to explain, but no one was willing to listen. They only wanted to see what they wanted to see. Over time, Yan Xiyue also learned to give up and pretend not to see these rumors.
After all, at most, they would only gossip behind her back. With Xing Yuan's long-standing authority as the school bully, no one dared to mention it in front of them.
School days passed both quickly and slowly, all due to psychological factors. (A complaint)
In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend. Xing Yuan woke up early and decorated her home to be more welcoming. This was a birthday gift from her parents when she was ten years old, who believed that anyone over ten could be considered an adult.
Therefore, she had been living alone in this place since junior high school. As for meals, she ate out, and only hired a cleaning company to send people to clean regularly.
Now, this lifeless main house was about to welcome a person who would fill it with life, which made Xing Yuan extremely excited.
So, at four in the morning, she was already up and busy inside and out. She even had the idea to tie some balloons outside the main house, decorating the place to be warm and inviting. She was determined to make Yan Xiyue feel at home.
At six in the morning, Xing Yuan was already waiting on her beloved motorcycle near Yan Xiyue's house. Even though she saw "Ah Jie" every day, she was still incredibly excited each time.
It was already autumn, and the mornings in Licheng were very cold. After waiting outside for a while, Xing Yuan couldn't stand it and ran into a small shop nearby to warm up.
Their agreed meeting time was eight o'clock. Xing Yuan set an alarm and quietly ordered breakfast at the shop.
She had a good appetite, and wanting to deliberately delay the time, she took nearly an hour to finish her breakfast.
After Yan Xiyue had finished packing, she messaged Xing Yuan to ask where she was. Xing Yuan put away her phone and went directly to Yan Xiyue's doorstep and knocked.
