Sheng Ting’s gaze fell on those comments, and his brows furrowed even tighter. He looked up and asked, "Is there any way to contact the person who posted the video and have them delete it?"
"Why delete it?" Xie Hongfei didn’t understand, "I think it’s filmed really well! It perfectly captured the unbeatable beauty of you and Junior Shen, which directly boosted our university’s attractiveness. The school itself is even benefiting from your popularity, with heaps of people shouting that they want to apply to our university."
Xie Hongfei said, "It’s just a video, I don’t think it’s a big deal. Plus, everyone online is just blessing you two. It must have been hard for that girl to finally make a popular video, and now you want her to delete it, how disappointing that must be for her!"
There had been instances of Z University students secretly taking photos of third and posting them online before, but he had never seemed to care. Now he was actually very serious and even asking someone to delete it, could it be that he was worried others would notice Junior Shen and compete with him?
It appears that Junior Shen indeed holds a special place in her heart.
"How do you know the person who filmed it is a girl, do you know the person who filmed it?" Sheng Ting suddenly narrowed his eyes, looking suspiciously at Xie Hongfei.
Xie Hongfei: "... Isn’t there a video where her face is shown?"
Under the pressure of the other’s gaze, Xie Hongfei finally caved in and admitted, "Kind of know her, she took a photo of you before and I commented that we’re roommates, then the girl added me. But don’t worry, I haven’t revealed anything that shouldn’t be disclosed."
"So, what should be disclosed?" Shi Yu’s voice came from nearby.
"Just... how many classes we have in a week, where they are, that kind of thing," Xie Hongfei said, standing his ground under Sheng Ting’s stare.
Seeing Sheng Ting’s expression grow darker, he couldn’t help but feel a bit weak as he said, "It was just because the girl meant no harm, merely liking you and taking a few more photos of you, that’s no big deal, right?"
Sheng Ting pointed at the video and said, "You call this simply liking?"
Xie Hongfei nodded stiffly, "Yes, yes! Why else would she not film me but you? It’s because you’re handsome. If it was someone less attractive, she wouldn’t even bother."
Sheng Tinged looked deeply at him and said, "I think you’ve really read your brain into stupidity."
"What do you mean?" Xie Hongfei blinked, and seeing that Sheng Ting wasn’t paying attention to him anymore, he turned his head to look at Shi Yu.
The latter adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, took back his phone, and said, "Third is right, she’s clearly using third as a traffic code. Hard to believe you usually boast about having an IQ of 160 and yet can’t even see through such a small scheme."
"It can’t be! Maybe the girl just wanted to share something. Do you think you guys might be thinking too badly of people?" Xie Hongfei looked as if he might be overthinking.
Shi Yu: "Liking someone isn’t the issue, and secretly filming isn’t the issue. But secretly filming someone and then posting it online, you still think she’s pure? Would you post a girl you liked online for everyone to see?"
Xie Hongfei: "Okay, seems like I wouldn’t!"
Shi Yu patted him sympathetically on the shoulder, "Alright, contact her quickly and have her delete it."
"I got it!" Xie Hongfei couldn’t help but feel a bit deflated, now realizing the problem himself.
Thinking about it, a girl’s thoughts really can be quite complex.
