If you cut in, you will get hit. Do you call this a driving school instructor?

"accepted?"

As the person in charge of communicating with Gu Yin on the program "Reconciling with Life", Li Hua was pressed for time and had a heavy workload. So after failing to contact Gu Yin and being turned away by Director Han, he approached the female celebrity Xia Qianyi almost without hesitation.

To his great relief, perhaps because she was an industry insider, Xia Qianyi was very understanding and agreed to help him convey his message to Gu Yin almost without hesitation.

After anxiously waiting all afternoon, Li Hua finally received a call back from Xia Qianyi. As soon as the call connected, he received some great news: it seemed that Gu Yin had finally agreed to apologize.

"Hmm, he probably agreed..."

The temperature in Yunnan was a bit low at night, around 18 or 19 degrees Celsius. Xia Qianyi, wearing a white coat, stood under a jacaranda tree, looking up at the beautiful scenery in the distance, a helpless expression on her face, and said:

"He's planning to do a live stream to respond, is that okay?"

"No problem, of course no problem!" Li Hua agreed almost without hesitation.

Whether it's a post, a video, or a live stream, Gu Yin can respond however he wants, as long as he agrees to respond. This is the best news for Li Hua, as he can go back and explain.

"Does Professor Gu need us to provide a copy or something?" he asked.

“No need,” Xia Qianyi said directly. “Let him say it himself. If you pay, it will make it seem like he was being blackmailed, which would be even more fake.”

“Okay, whatever,” Li Hua nodded. “I’ll go and tell the higher-ups what time Teacher Gu will start the broadcast, and then make some preparations.”

"Around 9:30," Xia Qianyi said, "We're eating out now, and we can start it when we get back."

“Okay, I’ll go and get ready too,” Li Hua replied.

"Okay." Xia Qianyi nodded. "Let's leave it at that for now."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Qianyi hung up the phone with a "beep beep" sound.

"Whoo~"

After hanging up the phone, Li Hua breathed a long sigh of relief.

Teacher Gu finally agreed to apologize, and thankfully she wasn't so stubborn anymore. Otherwise, it's hard to say how far this matter would have gone.

It was quite a coincidence, really. Han Feng, the chief director of the automotive category at Gu Yin's company, happened to be passing by and, seeing Li Hua's relaxed expression, couldn't help but ask:
"What good news made you so happy?"

"No..." After seeing who it was, Li Hua scratched his head, grinned, and said with a hint of pride, "It's just that Teacher Gu agreed to apologize, so I can finally give an explanation to my superiors."

Upon hearing this, Director Han was slightly taken aback, and then a hint of undisguised disappointment appeared on his face...

Although the corridor was dimly lit, making it difficult to detect subtle expressions on people's faces, Li Hua still accurately saw the "disappointment" on Director Han's face.

He was probably disappointed by Gu Yin's "apology".

In fact, Director Han had high expectations for Gu Yin. Even as a member of the production team, he didn't think Gu Yin had to apologize for this. Otherwise, as the chief director of their track, Director Han would have been the one to advise Gu Yin to "apologize".

When Li Hua came to him for help that morning, he thought Gu Yin was a tough guy and shouldn't agree so easily...

Unexpectedly, before the day was even over, Gu Yin agreed in the evening.

Director Han was indeed a little disappointed at that time, but he didn't give up hope after all...

But Li Hua smiled smugly at Director Han and then said:
"This teacher Gu is actually much easier to communicate with than we imagined. We should give him a way out. People all know the principle that those who are pragmatic are the wise ones."

He waved to Director Han and said, "Then, Director Han, I'll go back and report. See you later."

After saying this, Li Hua left gracefully to return and report back.

Upon seeing this, Director Han pursed his lips but said nothing, and went back to his own control room.

The night passed quickly. Gu Yin and Xia Qianyi finished their dinner around 8:30 p.m. Because it was the peak season during the summer vacation, all the hotels where Gu Yin was staying were fully booked. As a last resort, Xia Qianyi had to book the hotel next door.

Gu Yin didn't think much of it at the time and casually said, "Why bother ordering? Just come sleep with me."

Xia Qianyi was stunned when he said that!
The dim light inside the car illuminated the actress's delicate and pretty face, yet even so, one could clearly see the shy and blushing expression on her face.

"What...what are you saying!" Xia Qianyi blushed and slapped Gu Yin.

Mengmeng in the front seat almost exploded on the spot!
Fortunately, Gu Yin explained at this moment: "I mean, my sister and my mother live in a suite, and there is another room. You can definitely go over there."

Because of privacy concerns, Gu Yin did not choose to live with her sister and mother, but instead booked a suite for them and kept a large room for herself.

Gu Yue and her mother did indeed have rooms available; he hadn't thought much about it and just blurted it out.

"...Can you please clarify things before you speak!" Xia Qianyi rolled her eyes. "Don't you know that this can easily lead to misunderstandings?!"

“Ha…” Gu Yin scratched his head.

Just as I was about to say something, I looked up and met Mengmeng's suspicious gaze.

From the moment they arrived, Mengmeng had been staring at Gu Yin and Xia Qianyi with a suspicious look on her face, but I have no idea what she was looking at...

It was almost nine o'clock when they returned to the hotel. Because she was afraid of being photographed and having rumors spread, Gu Yin went back to the hotel first. After a while, Xia Qianyi entered the hotel through the parking lot entrance and went to Gu Yin's room.

It's kind of strange, isn't it...

Although Gu Yin and Xia Qianyi had known each other for a long time and were quite familiar with each other, the scene of him opening the door to welcome Xia Qianyi into the hotel room with a double bed always made people have some wild thoughts.

Don't fucking ask me who Feifei is!
Not only Gu Yin, but Xia Qianyi also seemed a little reserved standing in front of the large bed covered in pure white sheets and duvet covers. A shy expression appeared on her fair and delicate face, as if she was thinking the same thing as Gu Yin...

Then, at that moment, Gu Yin, that clueless straight man, I don't know what he was thinking, actually ran over to the French windows and started to draw the curtains.

"Why...why are you drawing the curtains?!"

Xia Qianyi was startled, her pretty face flushed red instantly, so red it was burning hot, that she didn't dare to look at Gu Yin.

Why draw the curtains if we're not doing anything naughty?!
"No..." Gu Yin pointed out the window and said, "What if someone outside takes pictures of you secretly?"

He does have a knack for details, but those details often fall into places where they shouldn't be...

Xia Qianyi's forehead creased with exasperation, and she couldn't help but say, "If you draw the curtains, won't it make it even easier for people to misunderstand?!"

Imagine if there were paparazzi, paparazzi, and other people outside at this moment, carrying big cameras and using telephoto lenses to take pictures of this place from a great distance...

It's bad enough that Xia Qianyi and Gu Yin checked into the same hotel room at the same time, but they even managed to film Gu Yin immediately pulling the curtains after Xia Qianyi went in...

Doesn't that make it easier for people to misunderstand?

"If you put it that way... it seems so..." Gu Yin was speechless for a moment.

He pulled the curtains aside and asked, "Should we open them?"

As he spoke, he actually tried to pull back the curtains.

"No...don't pull anymore!" Xia Qianyi's beautiful lips twitched slightly: "We've already pulled, there's no point in pulling it apart again, let's just leave it like this."

"Oh..." Gu Yin didn't insist any further.

It was almost time, so Gu Yin took out the camera from her bag that she hadn't worn all day for the "Reconciling with Life" program. She scanned the QR code on the back with her phone to take a look at the backstage area, then placed the camera on the table, found a relatively good angle to point it at herself and Xia Qianyi, and then took out a phone specifically for watching the comments and set it aside before starting the live stream.

The live streaming room was so basic it couldn't be more unprofessional. Xia Qianyi wasn't someone who hadn't seen the world; usually, when she was a guest on a big streamer's live stream, there would be a bunch of equipment and a bunch of people surrounding her...

But then again, tonight, no matter how many devices there are or how many people surround the streamers, none of them can match Gu Yin's viewership.

The name Gu Yin alone represents absolute "traffic".

【? 】

Perhaps because of the big incident yesterday, with polarized comments and arguments on the trending topics all day long, Gu Yin's popularity is actually quite high. He was already quite popular, and his broadcast immediately attracted countless netizens.

The comments section was scrolling wildly:

[Oh, that's strange, they suddenly started broadcasting at this time?]

[Hey? Xia Qianyi's here too! It's been so long since I've seen you two together!]

[Haha... I can tell something happened, even the usually busy Xia Qianyi went.]

To be fair, Xia Qianyi is a good woman to date. If it were anyone else, they'd probably be eager to stay away from Coach Gu right now.

[Just guessing, the broadcast will definitely be a response to the controversies of yesterday and today!]

"...They're not going to apologize, are they? If they really apologize, I'm definitely unfollowing them..."

……

At first, many of the people who came in were actually fans who supported Gu Yin. What they said was quite heartwarming. Many people were saying "Gu Yin, keep going!" and "Gu Yin has no problems at all. It's all the fault of the girl."

However, at the same time, some trolls were also spamming the comments section:
[Yo yo yo, Yin Yang Bro is out!]

[While others are still lying in the hospital, you have the leisure to do a live stream.]

What is Xia Qianyi doing here? Trying to divert everyone's attention? Does she think this will make people less focused on the girl in the hospital?

[This person might spend the rest of their life in a wheelchair; who will bear that responsibility?]

……

It's funny, that woman who was so frightened was such an outrageous person, and the things she did were incredibly exaggerated, yet there were a bunch of people online speaking up for her...

He's as stupid as a mother idiot.

What's interesting is that, if we don't say 80% of those who spoke up for the frightened woman, then over 95% were female users!
There were even people who started boxing, saying things like, "That lousy man is incompetent and just likes to be sarcastic and mean..." and so on.

It's disgusting.

Xia Qianyi also saw those comments. Perhaps afraid that Gu Yin would notice, she quickly answered some messages for Gu Yin, choosing only the nicest replies.

Gu Yin was amused by this and couldn't help but say to Xia Qianyi:
"No, you don't need to just read those nice-sounding things. I'm not a white phosphorus type personality, and I can't just explode if someone points at me, right?"

As soon as these words came out...

【Ha ha……】

This immediately amused many of his supporters.

However, many haters also said that it's ridiculous to still be joking at a time like this, while the girl lying in the hospital doesn't have time for jokes...

Anyway, it wouldn't be right for Gu Yin to say anything at this point, so he might as well say less. Besides, they didn't come up here to chat with the audience in the first place.

It's worth mentioning that at the same time Gu Yin started broadcasting, the backstage of the neighboring program "Reconciling with Life," including the control room where Director Han was, all received the notification.

Then, Director Han, Li Hua, and many other people from the production team who were also paying attention to this matter all flocked to Gu Yin's live stream to see how Gu Yin would respond to the rumors of the past two days.

At that time, Li Hua had no doubt whatsoever whether Gu Yin really wanted to "apologize," and was even eagerly waiting to see Gu Yin apologize and resolve the matter...

Right at that moment, Gu Yin happened to be saying in the live stream:

"The main reason I came up here today is to respond to what happened these past two days. Many people have contacted me asking for a response, and if I don't, it seems like I'm doing something wrong..."

As he said this, Gu Yin gave a wry smile.

【? ? ? 】

Many of his original supporters were puzzled by this statement and couldn't help but ask:

So he really did come up to apologize?

Seriously? I've been such a supporter of you, speaking up for you online all day...

Well, in the end, it was all for naught; all my good intentions were wasted on a treacherous person.

[Alright, everyone, disperse. It's obvious they've come to apologize.]

Those who supported it were disheartened, and even the haters weren't buying it; the comments section was filled with:

[Oh? So you're worried about interfering with your money-making schemes?]

[Isn't he the kind of person who's tough and never backs down?]

[Isn't it true that cutting in line is done on a whim, without batting an eye, and that accidents are commonplace?]

[Aren't you someone who never suffers a loss?]

[Sigh, enough said. We're willing to forgo dignity and face, but we can't just not make money, right?]

These people clearly believed that Gu Yin apologized mainly so that he could continue to make money in the future...

In short, this "apology" is only good for calming public opinion; nobody is buying it.

Fortunately...

Gu Yin didn't come up to apologize.

Amidst a barrage of comments suggesting he might be there to "apologize," and under the hopeful gaze of Li Hua and the slightly disappointed look of Director Han on the other side of the show, "Reconciling with Life"...

Gu Yin's opening remarks were a thunderbolt:
"What I want to tell everyone is that I believe I have done nothing wrong. No matter who asks me to take any responsibility for this matter, I will refute them to the end. If anyone has any doubts about me, we can go to court and take legal action."

"If the law says I'm wrong, then I'll admit it; but if the law says I'm not wrong, then I'll admit nothing!"

"I believe in the laws of our country and that no law-abiding citizen will be wronged!"
