Xu Xinduo quickly apologised, “I’m sorry, I haven’t come to my senses yet.”
“Scoot over, I’ll go in again.”
Xu Xinduo refused as she pointed to the object in Tong Yan’s hand and asked, “You plan to use this for my birthday?”
“Neither, but… let’s just celebrate becoming adults. Can’t we take this a little easy?”
“No, good night,” Xu Xinduo shut the window after answering him.
Tong Yan stood at the window and made a voice call to Xu Xinduo with his mobile phone. After Xu Xinduo answered it, she only said one word, “Scram.”
“Don’t do this, okay?”
“Then how about you take my pain for this?”
“Impossible!” Tong Yan quickly rejected, “This is a matter of principle! Absolutely not! I will never compromise on this issue. We can exchange bodies, but we cannot exchange this aspect of our experiences. I am a man and a man’s dignity is unshakable.”
“The last time I was drunk, you said that you would do it after you got into my body.”
“What?! Why did I behave like that?” Tong Yan was shocked, and after thinking about it, he shook his head desperately outside the window, “Impossible, don’t try and bluff me.”
“I’m not bluffing you, you really said it yourself. If you agree, I can give it a try. I will do it gently so as to not hurt you, okay?”
“Not good, this is really bad. I don’t agree with this.”
“Come on!”
“I’m not going to!”
Tong Yan’s expression froze— how could he accept this kind of thing!
Everything else was negotiable, but not this one!
He truly couldn’t!
Ahhh! Just thinking about it made him crumble.
He suddenly didn’t want to do it anymore and even wanted to throw the object in his hand. He was starting to fear that Xu Xinduo might be interested in topping him.
If that became reality, he would truly go crazy.
Tong Yan stood outside the window as he looked at Xu Xinduo who was standing in the room. He suddenly said, “Go to sleep early.”
“Aren’t you coming in?”
“Mm, I’m not coming in, I… I’m going home. You have a good rest, good night.”
“Bye bye.”
Tong Yan hung up the phone with a heavy expression before he turned around and left.
What Xu Xinduo didn’t expect was that Tong Yan’s public romance could have reached that much exposure.
Three full days passed and the news about Tong Yan’s family and her appearance surfaced from time to time in the trending searches. Especially on the second day, the trending search for her personal name was ranked 3rd on the list.
Gradually, voices of denial appeared on the Internet, such as:
1) “They took up the trending searches again. I am already physically disgusted by the news of this family of four.”
Netizen replied: [Perhaps you have a time machine with you, dear brother? This is the first time that their family of four has been on the hot search. It’s honestly just a change of keywords at this point.]
The netizen also replied: [Tong Yan has no intention of manipulating the charts. He has his own family property to inherit, so there is no need for him to try to pull strings and control the entertainment circle.]
2) “Does the Tong family want to make this 18th-rate model popular?”
(T/N: 1st-rate is usually the artists with the highest popularity and worth, followed by 2nd-rate, 3rd-rate and so on. 18th-rate here is an exaggeration to define someone as unpopular)
Netizens replied: [Xu Xinduo has been working for a year and she has never borrowed Yin Hua’s popularity. Now that she is preparing for the college entrance examination, she is not accepting any form of work at the moment. Besides, even though it isn’t even true, Yin Hua is not that stupid to try and raise the popularity rate for a model who is technically on a hiatus.]
They also said: [Whether or not they’re trying to raise her fame, that would depend if she can maintain her good name in this half a year. But if nothing bad happens, would you kneel and apologise?]
