Jiang Ciyuan took the initiative to speak up, “I just saw Chi Xingyu coming out of a room.”
His gaze fell on Tong Sui, who couldn’t help but bite her lip in response, even though Jiang Ciyuan showed no obvious emotions. “Oh, he came to get his luggage.”
His action made her already slightly red and swollen lips even more noticeable, revealing the kind of passionate treatment they had endured not long ago.
Last night, Jiang Ciyuan received news from Pool’s father that the collaboration with the Chi family remained unchanged, and Chi Xingyu would return to the program.
This was the first time Jiang Ciyuan had done something this thankless.
Jiang Ciyuan said, “The police will issue an official report today, and Chi Xingyu himself will not be negatively impacted by this incident.”
Tong Sui was slightly taken aback, “How do you know this so clearly?”
Jiang Ciyuan explained, “I had someone inquire.”
He wasn’t trying to let Tong Sui know and then thank him. Although he could have done so and it would align with his usual way of doing things, he didn’t want Tong Sui to continue interacting with him out of mere gratitude. Using such means would simply bind her in a different kind of pain.
As expected, Jiang Ciyuan’s prediction came true. This morning, the police issued a formal report, explaining the entire sequence of events. They also imposed administrative detention on the model involved.
Despite this, some netizens remained skeptical until a clear video with audio was released and quickly circulated by major marketing accounts.
The tide turned, and the comments section exploded.
— “Wow, how dare he lay hands on my wife? Don’t stop me; I’m going to get that bastard!”
— “I feel so sorry; Sui Bao was so shocked! If it weren’t for Chi Shen stepping in, it would have been a total disadvantage!”
— “Chi Shen was too lenient; people like this should be castrated.”
— “Where are those who swore that Chi Xingyu attacked without reason? Come out and apologize!”
— “This model has a pile of dark history. She has been exposed for being inappropriate with other models in the past, but it went unnoticed because she was too obscure.”
— “If it weren’t for this video, who knows how many people would have tried to smear Chi Shen? The worst part is that some are mocking him for his game skills and looks. These people are truly bottomless in their malice.”
The video and official statement quickly trended, and the team that Chi Xingyu belonged to issued a stern statement, demanding the deletion of false comments and reserving the right to pursue all claims of slander.
This matter was essentially subdued, as excess attention was redirected to the live broadcast room of the program.
In no time, the number of simultaneous online viewers broke records.
Most of the audience tuned in to see Chi Xingyu and Tong Sui.
At this time, it was breakfast time. Chi Xingyu came down wearing a clean outfit, accompanied by Zhong Yi, who was complaining, “You came back too quickly. I was hoping to make an impressive showing while you were gone.”
“I’m not giving you that chance.”
At the dining table downstairs, the other three had already taken their seats.
Zhou Siyuan and Jiang Ciyuan had already taken the seats next to Tong Sui, leaving only the seat opposite.
Chi Xingyu quickly pulled out a chair and sat down.
Zhong Yi could only stare in disbelief, reluctantly taking a seat beside him. “Can someone get rid of this guy? I don’t want to see him until the program is over.”
While scooping porridge, Chi Xingyu said, “I can leave; let Tong Sui come with me.”
“Dream on,” Zhong Yi replied, “If anyone is going, it better be with me. I’ve even decided on our wedding venue.”
Chi Xingyu nodded, “Let’s hear it then.”
Zhong Yi excitedly shared a bunch of his plans, “…and we could adopt a child together.”
Chi Xingyu replied, “Remember, I’ll help you achieve this dream.”
As the two continued their increasingly unrealistic conversation, Tong Sui’s grip on her spoon tightened, and her ears turned slightly red. “Chi Xingyu.”
Chi Xingyu replied, “What’s wrong?”
Tong Sui urged, “Stop chatting and eat your meal.”
She couldn’t understand how Chi Xingyu, after a long day, still had the energy to banter with Zhong Yi. Was this the boundless energy of an 18-year-old boy?
The thought made her feel a bit pained.
Called by his name, Chi Xingyu raised an eyebrow at Zhong Yi provocatively before slowly enjoying his breakfast.
Due to yesterday’s filming being halted midway, they needed to return in the afternoon to finish the remaining work.
So, everyone boarded a bus towards the filming location from yesterday.
Unlike yesterday, this place was filled with many fans.
Yes, fans.
It was hard to imagine that a dating show featuring ordinary people could attract such a large group of fans, with abundant support materials prepared.
As soon as Tong Sui got off the bus, she felt the warmth from the crowd opposite—a large group of people bearing bouquets, gifts, and letters rushed over, surrounding them not far from the bus.
Chi Xingyu instinctively pulled Tong Sui behind him, frowning and using a sour expression to block the overly enthusiastic fans.
With his tall stature, Chi Xingyu practically blocked Tong Sui from being seen.
The fans felt anxious.
“Wife, don’t be afraid! We just came to see you and brought you lots of snacks to enjoy on the show.”
Chi Xingyu’s frown deepened. “What are you shouting? Have you lost your sense of decorum? Just shout names!”
Typically, no one would dare to provoke the usually stoic Chi Xingyu, but now his demeanor felt clearly pretentious, almost as if he was jealous.
The sourer his face looked, the more the fans tried to appease him:
“Ah, right, right, right! We’ll just shout names; wife can shout.”
“You didn’t mention decorum when you kissed Sui Bao; how come it’s double standards now?”
Typically sharp-tongued, this time Chi Xingyu found himself at a loss for a rebuttal, his ears even turning slightly red. After all, he was just a handsome guy with little romantic experience.
