[Xu Wenyi V:
#Wei Xin Two-Timing# Just a small misunderstanding, oh! Xinxin's cousin is going abroad for further studies and was specially seeing her off. Xiaoxu had work and arrived a step later. [Photo of five people] [Elevator selfie]
Xinxin got startled by her cousin's roar, dropped her phone in the water, and had no choice but to ask me to post this. [Photo of deceased phone]
PS: Xinxin emphasized that this sentence must be posted: Her cousin volunteered and took the initiative to go out and buy her the latest model phone [Dog head] [Photo of Ji Le being swept out the door]]
[Xin~Xin~ Ah Yi, such an affectionate nickname, you have never called me that [Sob]]
[I was wondering why the studio posted a clarification while Sister Xin herself didn't post anything. Turns out phone-kun passed away. Hahaha, too tragic!]
[This is a big deal. Let's lower the screen halfway and observe 0.1 seconds of silence.]
[Yo yo yo, the little couple meeting the parents?]
[Sister Xin is actually quite nice, knowing to blur the faces of the strangers in the elevator.]
[Not only did she blur them, she even labeled them "stranger", and she was so afraid we wouldn't recognize Du Lüe that she even labeled him...]
[《Voluntarily》《Took the initiative》 I don't believe it, unless you let the cousin speak up.]
[Why did the cousin get blurred? The cousin's fingers look so good ahhhhh cousin, pick me!]
[Cousin grabbed a plane and fled overnight.]
...
Public opinion unfolded exactly as Xu Wenyi had anticipated. The onlookers who loved gossip indulged in playing memes, the online trolls struggled to sustain any momentum, and without stirring up big waves, they were quickly swallowed up by the vast ocean of the masses.
"Why are you still here?" Wei Xin looked up and saw Xu Wenyi eating her fruit.
"If I leave now and get photographed, how do I explain it?" Xu Wenyi forked a piece of cantaloupe and held it to Wei Xin's mouth. "Aren't you flying to Jiangnan tomorrow? I might as well see you off."
"No, mmm—"
Just as Wei Xin opened her mouth, Xu Wenyi shoved the cantaloupe right in, not giving her a chance to refuse.
"Is it not good?"
Wei Xin answered honestly, "It's good."
"Another piece?"
"I'll do it myself." Wei Xin reached out to grab a new fork, but Xu Wenyi stopped her. "What are you doing? This is my fruit, and the fork is mine, too."
"The fruit was bought by Taozi."
"Taozi is my assistant."
The two of them were like bickering children, arguing back and forth.
Xu Wenyi suddenly put down the fork, blinked with a smile, "Then can Teacher Wei treat me to some strawberries?"
Weren't they eating cantaloupe?
How did it turn into strawberries again?
Before Wei Xin could speak, she saw Xu Wenyi rubbing her stomach and putting on a pitiful expression, "I was in such a rush to come see you that I didn't even eat dinner. Now I'm so hungry..."
Looking like this again, acting again, is she?
Wei Xin muttered curses in her heart and placed all the fruit right in front of Xu Wenyi. "Eat up."
Humph!
Considering she helped clear her name, she wouldn't bicker with the surnamed Xu bastard for the time being.
"Thank you, Teacher Wei~" Xu Wenyi knew when to stop and didn't pester Wei Xin any further.
To shoot the commercial at noon, she had barely eaten anything, just drinking two sips of milk. Now she really was starving.
Watching her, Wei Xin started to make herself hungry.
She had eaten dinner too early, and too little. Besides, Grandma was getting older and preferred softer foods.
All in all, it was totally normal to be hungry, definitely not because of Xu Wenyi!
"Um, how about I help you order takeout?"
"No need, I'll just have some fruit." As Xu Wenyi spoke, she forked another strawberry and brought it to Wei Xin's lips.
This time, Wei Xin accepted the feeding quite naturally.
"Did you eat... any carbs today?" Wei Xin asked on a whim, and as soon as she finished, she hurriedly tried to patch it up. "I mean fruit isn't filling!"
"Not yet. I had to shoot a commercial during the day, the clothes were a bit tight, so I didn't eat."
Taking off and putting on clothes was too much trouble, and the commercial's production team wasn't very professional either. To save time, she just muddled through and didn't even eat a few leaves of greens, let alone carbs.
"Did you not eat dinner either?" Xu Wenyi put down the fork and pushed the fruit back toward Wei Xin. "Sorry, I—"
"I ate at home. Do you want to eat a fat-reduction meal or regular takeout?" Wei Xin opened the food delivery platform on Taozi's backup phone. "Or how about Haidilao hot pot?"
Since she had nothing better to do anyway, she might as well grab a meal with Ji Le.
"No trouble at all, eating fruit is fine for me."
"No way, you must eat carbs!" Wei Xin earnestly instructed, "From now on, you have to ensure a minimum daily intake of carbs."
Xu Wenyi froze for a moment, a trace of joy and bitterness welling up in her heart, and she smiled as she agreed, "Okay, then let's have Haidilao delivery."
Since she was going to eat something else, Xu Wenyi stopped eating the fruit.
The two sat on the small sofa, each quietly playing with their phones.
Soon, Xu Wenyi broke the silence, "Are you feeling okay?"
Combined with Wei Xin's emphasis on maintaining a daily carb intake, Xu Wenyi guessed that the other person's sudden two-month break might genuinely be due to health issues.
"I'm great. I can eat, drink, and sleep."
"Then why did you suddenly go into seclusion?"
"Seclusion?"
"Yeah, I thought you went into seclusion for further studies," Xu Wenyi said pointedly. "Schedules canceled, and you didn't even reply to WeChat."
Caught in the act, Wei Xin felt a bit guilty. "I—I, before that, on the night of the gala, I went to the restroom and found out I was... peeing blood."
Xu Wenyi's heart tightened. "What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor told me... not to eat four dragon fruits at once ever again."
Xu Wenyi: "???"
"Don't laugh." Wei Xin gave Xu Wenyi a reproving look. "She also said I should rest for a while to reduce the risk of sudden death."
Xu Wenyi thought to herself, no wonder she didn't reply to messages.
The fact that Wei Xin was willing to tell her about such an embarrassing incident sent a warm current flowing through Xu Wenyi's heart.
This person was still just like before, both sincere and cute.
Xu Wenyi wanted to hug her, but she was afraid of startling her, so she had to suppress the urge.
"Then when do you plan to start working again?"
"Tomorrow. Flying to Jiangnan tomorrow," Wei Xin asked, puzzled. "How did you know I'm flying to Jiangnan tomorrow?"
If she remembered correctly, the commercial she was shooting tomorrow hadn't even been officially announced yet, so it shouldn't be on her studio's schedule.
"President Liu told me. We need to coordinate our schedules, and we might collaborate on something coming up."
"Collaborate?"
What kind of collaboration could they possibly have?
Find a place to pretend to date, and then pretend to accidentally get photographed by paparazzi?
Wei Xin felt a wave of disdain. In their past lives, they certainly hadn't done a small amount of this kind of thing, which led to CP fans still chasing after her and cursing her three years after their officially announced breakup.
No help for it, the one who confessed at the gala was Xu Wenyi. In the eyes of the public, Xu Wenyi was the proactive party in this romance and inevitably loved more deeply.
And she was already weighed down by black material back then.
Although most of it was baseless fake news, it didn't stop CP fans from imagining a melodramatic saga where Xu Wenyi was wronged and abandoned by her.
There really were too many crazy people in this world...
"Yeah, didn't President Liu tell you? I have a variety show and I want to invite you to join me." Xu Wenyi's eyes curved into crescents as she coaxed and cajoled half-playfully, "Can Teacher Wei do me the honor?"
