A few days later, Sheng Tang’s exclusive interview was featured on the front page of the school newspaper.
Gu Shiting specifically bought several copies of the newspaper to keep. He carefully cut out that page and pasted it in his notebook.
This notebook had many printed screenshots of Sheng Tang’s works, some of which were handwritten by Gu Shiting.
"Tangtang is so amazing, another article gone viral," Gu Shiting gently stroked the newspaper.
As expected, his Tangtang was extremely talented, and he felt very happy.
However, someone was not happy.
Yang Mingming was the first person to have an exclusive interview on the school newspaper. She was the school’s radio host, the most popular girl, and the top school beauty.
Everyone adored her.
But, the second person to have an exclusive interview turned out to be Sheng Tang.
Was Sheng Tang supposed to be on par with her?
This girl, neither her background nor her looks, figure, or academic performance, could compare to Yang Mingming. Yet she could be placed alongside Yang Mingming just by writing a few cheesy poems, a nonsensical fairy tale, and some awful songs?
Yang Mingming didn’t bother questioning the newspaper staff, but she spread her dissatisfaction.
Sheng Tang was unaware of this.
Sheng Tang continued her routine of going to school and leaving school.
On Wednesday, it was another gloomy day, with a piercing cold wind.
When Sheng Tang woke up early, her eyelid kept twitching. Every time her eyelid twitched, something unexpected and bad would happen.
She wondered what would happen this time.
She was sitting on the bus, drowsy, when suddenly the bus jostled.
Everyone leaned to the side, and Sheng Tang almost fell over as the bus came to a stop.
Smoke was coming from the bus’s front.
The driver got out to check and discovered that the bus had broken down and couldn’t continue.
The next bus wouldn’t arrive for another twenty minutes, but Sheng Tang had class in twenty minutes.
She didn’t want to be late.
She glanced at the bus stop sign; the school was only two stops away, about a ten-minute walk.
There were shared bicycles nearby.
Sheng Tang immediately scanned a bicycle and pedaled towards school, braving the cold wind.
She hadn’t ridden a bike in a long time and felt a bit scared.
As she approached the corner of the street near the school, suddenly a car honked. Sheng Tang was riding close to the curb and didn’t pay attention, only feeling something rush up behind.
Her bike’s handlebar wobbled, and she fell onto the curb.
The ground was icy, and Sheng Tang’s palm scraped, losing a chunk of skin, and her knee hurt badly.
It took her a while to stand up, and the driver of the car got out and scolded her: "Are you blind? Can’t you watch where you’re going?"
Sheng Tang: "...."
She had never encountered such an unfair situation.
She was clearly walking on her sidewalk and turning the corner, but the car squeezed up behind her, apparently trying to hit her, and yet they were blaming her for not watching the road?
Did this driver think traffic laws were a joke?
Sheng Tang was about to argue when suddenly another car sped up from behind.
Gu Shiting raced out of the car, wielding something in his hand, and whipped the driver harshly across the face.
The driver cried out in pain.
Though the whip wouldn’t damage his bones, it left an immediate bloody mark on his face.
"You motherf..." the driver cursed arrogantly, trying to hit Gu Shiting.
Gu Shiting’s whip was extremely agile, snapping back to strike the driver again.
Out of the car stepped a tall driver and bodyguard, followed by the leisurely Song Chen.
Realizing the situation, the driver glanced towards the car.
Unable to restrain herself, a girl stepped out: "Gu Shiting, stop, it’s all a misunderstanding..."
Her voice was charming.
She wore a fitted school uniform, stood gracefully and elegantly, and was Huishi High School’s Yang Mingming.
Gu Shiting’s fury intensified, and he suddenly whipped Yang Mingming across the face.
Her delicate skin immediately spurted with blood.
Sheng Tang: "...."
She was stunned by the scene.
