The meeting with Yao Can aligned with the interests of most parties; Su Tang, Wen Jingci, and Lin Wanzhao had all been instrumental in facilitating it. Consequently, the ensuing gossip and rumors followed a natural course. In another respect, this provided the two of them with opportunities to spend time together. While they had originally intended to keep their distance to avoid raising suspicions, it now seemed as though everyone wished for them to become a couple.
The online forums were flooded with trending posts about the "Yandere CEO and Xu Wuyan," calling them a match made in heaven, with a clear trend toward binding the two together. Neither Yao Can nor Xu Wuyan had the heart to concern themselves with these matters. Yao Can remained immersed in the news regarding her mother, while Xu Wuyan had crouched in that secluded corner for a long time, not leaving until nightfall. At the spot where he had knelt, the ground bore various messy, chaotic markings—evidence of the internal battle he had clearly waged.

For such a horrifying event to occur within the walls of an ivory tower, it was no wonder the news exploded. Yet, unlike the school leadership, who were in a state of panic, the order among the students remained—attending classes, eating, sleeping, dating, and visiting the library; everything proceeded in an orderly fashion.
