The young girl’s tone was natural and effortless but it made Jun Han’s heart skip a beat.
It wasn’t because of the butterflies that one would get from being in love.
With his limited vocabulary repertoire, the only way he could describe his feelings was that he could sense her gentleness.
Jun Han suddenly understood why more and more people liked Xiang Yi.
The so-called popularity with audience wasn’t about metaphysics but because that man had a special charm.

In the bathroom.
Xu Tumi sat on the ground and swiped her phone screen with trembling fingers.
Throughout the 22 years of her life, she had always been the center of everyone’s attention and living rather well.
Even after entering the entertainment industry, she had been leading a smooth-sailing life and even her fans treated her like a princess.
It was the first time she had experienced cyber-bullying that was even more terrifying than being called a baldie.
—— [You deserve it for wearing so little clothing]
—— [Surely you didn’t get… Tsk, tsk, it’s so dirty]
—— [Why did they choose to target you and not the others? There must be reason]
—— [I really hate how you pretend to be aggrieved. You must be regretful that they didn’t get what they wanted]
—— [Wow, Xu Tumi, trust you to still have the mood to eat. If I were you, I would have bathed myself ten times in the bathtub!]
…
Through the screen, she didn’t know who she was facing at all but she could sense the overwhelming malice.
The more she read, the redder her eyes became.
‘Is it really… my fault?’
‘Is it because I’m wearing very little clothes? Is it it because I’m problematic? Do I keep encountering such isuses because I’m not a perfect victim…’
Dong-Dong.
Someone knocked on the door.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Tumi asked in a warm voice, “Xu Tumi, are you alright?”
Whoosh——
Xu Tumi covered her mouth and teardrops began to roll down her face.
The back of her hand hurt from the heat.
She said sobbingly, “Don’t come in, I’m just using the toilet.”
As she spoke, she covered her ears and pressed the switch of the faucet, after which water began to flow.
Xiang Yi stayed quiet for a few seconds before saying, “Well, I’m not going in. I’ll stay right outside to chat with you. You can choose to stay quiet too.”
Xu Tumi heard the noise coming from behind the door and it seemed that Xiang Yi had sat down.
The door was separating them.
It was a close distance but one was badly flustered while the other was gentle and did not expose her.
“I just want to tell you that I’m here.”
Hearing this, Xu Tumi couldn’t hold back and cried out, “Uwu, you’re so annoying! I hate you, Xiang Yi!”
“Uh… I’m sorry.” Xiang Yi was a bit at a loss. “I just thought that you’d be more miserable if you don’t have anyone by your side when you’re sad.”
She had experienced that feeling before so she didn’t want Xu Tumi to go through it again.
“If you don’t like it, I’ll leave now. I’ll leave the tissue box and carpet here. If you need it, just open the door and get it. I won’t let others disturb you…”
Before she finished, Xu Tumi opened the door and cried in a ferocious and miserable manner, “You’re not allowed to leave!”
Xiang Yi said in a tender voice, “Okay, I won’t leave.”
“I don’t really hate you…” Xu Tumi had been crying so hard that even the tip of her nose was red. “I really hate the life advice that Bai Wuxia gave me. I also hate that I cry all the time…”
“If you don’t like his life advice, do you want a bowl of chicken soup instead?” Xiang Yi asked, grinning.
Xu Tumi pursed her lips, her shoulders shrugging as she wept. “He has already touched it and contaminated the chicken soup!!”
Xiang Yi said, “It’s alright, there’s still half a pot of soup,I’ll bring you a spoon and you can drink it from the pot.”
Xu Tumi suddenly felt much better.
