I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

"what!"

"Oh!!!"

She and Chen Ya both let out a scream at the same time, and without a doubt, Chen Ya's scream was more agonizing.

The light was turned on, and Jiang Xinhai and Chen Ya, who was curled up on the sofa, looked at each other. Then, her gaze shifted to the floor, and she realized that what she had thought was a rat was actually just beef jerky that Dao Lang had given her.

After she took a bite out of it, she carelessly dropped it, plastic bag and all, under the sofa, and no one picked it up.

"I'm sorry."

Jiang Xinhai was very polite in his apology, but when he saw Chen Ya's blank expression as if he hadn't woken up yet, and his resentment at being woken up by a punch, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Did I offend you in some way?" Chen Ya asked.

"No, I... I just had a dream, and you were particularly hateful in the dream."

Jiang Xinhai lied; she didn't want Chen Ya to know about her embarrassing moment.

Then, her gaze shifted to the light drawn to the black hole, involuntarily glancing at a certain prominent spot on Chen Ya's body.

In fact, just as she stepped on the hard, round drumstick and it fell down, she also touched something hard and round in her hand.

Chapter 131 Staying Out Overnight, Booking a Hotel Room, and a Swarm of Horseflies

Chen Ya noticed her gaze and explained with a displeased expression:

"This is a normal physiological phenomenon."

He considered himself to be very well-mannered, and he wasn't angry even after being hit for such an absurd reason.

At the same time, he also believes he is completely innocent.

While I can understand Jiang Xinhai's anxiety about living under the same roof with a strange man, her reaction was a bit too extreme.

In particular, she seemed to lack some knowledge about physiology, and upon seeing his penis, she assumed she was having impure thoughts—

Chen Ya believed that Jiang Xinhai had this misunderstanding entirely because of the little monk who stood erect in his sleep.

Jiang Xinhai glanced to the side, coughed lightly with a flushed face, and said:

"I know, I learned about it in physiology class. It's about what happens to boys during puberty, I understand."

"It's the same even after puberty."

"Really? Haha, I don't know about that."

After Jiang Xinhai finished speaking, she prepared to leave. She took a few steps back without making a sound, but when she noticed that Chen Ya was still staring at her, she finally felt a little guilty.

"Are you... still in pain?" she asked.

Chen Ya glanced down and said, "It hurts? No, it doesn't. I don't feel anything."

"I'm not asking if that hurts... I'm asking about your stomach."

"Stomach? What's wrong with your stomach?"

"That's all."

Back in his room, after locking the door, Jiang Xinhai banged his head against the bed in the silence, writhing like a maggot.

……

The next day, Jiang Xinhai arrived at school in a relaxed manner and found that his classmates were avoiding him to some extent.

Aside from her roommates, she didn't have many friends at school, and her mind was always on Chen Ya, so she had become somewhat insensitive to her surroundings.

So she didn't notice anything unusual until the first class was over.

It wasn't until a boy from the next department came over and cautiously told her that she could talk to him if she was feeling down that Jiang Xinhai realized something was wrong.

Why should I be in a bad mood?

The boy asked, somewhat surprised, "Weren't you affected? Those gossips are quite annoying."

"What gossip?"

"You didn't know?" The boy thought for a moment, then finally took out his phone. "Last night, the anonymous forum on campus was all over the place, saying that you didn't come home all night and went to a hotel with someone."

Jiang Xinhai frowned, took the boy's phone, and flipped it down. His blood pressure immediately spiked.

Tragically, Jiang Xinhai's pure and innocent goddess image has finally crumbled.

That's the title.

As Jiang Xinhai continued scrolling down, he discovered that these anonymous people were incredibly bored.

Last night, starting at 11 pm, this post went viral. People started posting about her not returning to the dorm, and it eventually turned into a group bet on whether Jiang Xinhai would return to the dorm that night.

Later, I heard that the boys' dormitory building was put up for sale, and the crowd was in an uproar. They all participated and made "bets" of over a thousand yuan, causing quite a stir.

Even at one or two in the morning, there were still 10,000 people posting on the thread, announcing that Jiang Xinhai had not returned to the dormitory in the end, as if they had achieved some kind of victory.

"Oh no, Jiang Xinhai really didn't come back, we're doomed!"

"Let me see how many virgins can't sleep tonight?"

"I can't stand it. She's only been in college for a few days and she's already picked up this kind of atmosphere. I thought she was different from others, but it turns out that everyone in the entertainment industry is like this."

"Hehe, you were so aloof when you rejected my friend's confession, who would have thought you'd turn out like this."

……

Jiang Xinhai's blood pressure rose higher and higher the more he looked at it.

But she still endured it and finished watching it.

After returning the phone to the boy, she said in a tone so calm it surprised even herself: "Is that all?"

"The anonymous version was quite outrageous, while the real-name version was slightly better."

Jiang Xinhai asked, "And what about in private? What do you guys say?"

The boy said, "It's mostly just jokes in private, and people don't usually take it too seriously. Some people might have feelings about it, but..."

Jiang Xinhai nodded and said, "Well, it's nothing."

"You must have had something going on last night, right? Don't you want to explain?"

“Yes, I spent all night preparing for the new album,” Jiang Xinhai said. “As for explanations, there’s no need to explain. Prejudice can’t be changed no matter how you explain it.”

After saying that, she turned to leave.

"I'll post it on the forum for you!" the boy said from behind her. "Don't let this affect your mood!"

"I wasn't affected, haha, what's there to be affected by?"

The boy hesitated for a moment, then ran to her side and whispered, "Um, do you want to...?"

Jiang Xinhai turned around: "Hmm?"

"It's dangerous for you to go to and from get out of class by yourself right now. Do you want me to go with you? That way, if you run into any extreme people, I can help you out."

"No need," Jiang Xinhai said casually as he left.

After her morning classes ended, she went to the cafeteria for lunch and finally ran into her roommates.

Before, they would deliberately avoid sitting near her in class, and now they've finally run into her.

"Hey, Xinhai, where did you go last night? We were so worried about you!"

Yes, we were very worried about you!

Jiang Xinhai gave a cold smile and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

After saying that, she turned her back and left.

The fact that this incident has escalated to such a great extent is undoubtedly due in no small part to the encouragement and support from my "good roommates".

However, there's no need to pretend or act like best friends with them anymore.

The students at Binhai University will all be competitors in the future.

A senior student had said this before she came, and now she completely understands it.

……

I had no classes in the afternoon, so I carried the lunch I had brought for Chen Ya back to the rented room. Chen Ya was lying on the sofa with a newspaper over her face.

Jiang Xinhai brushed aside the newspaper, saw his sleeping face, and gently patted it twice.

"Hey, it's not nap time yet, come and eat."

Chen Ya struggled to get up, rubbed his forehead for a while, and then looked at the rice in her bowl.

"Why is it Mapo Tofu Rice Bowl? The Mapo Tofu at your school doesn't taste right. It's Sichuan-style but tastes like local Shanghai cuisine. It's really hard to stand."

Jiang Xinhai rolled his eyes in annoyance: "Heh, eat it or don't, if you don't want it, just throw it away. If you keep being picky, I curse you to have to take care of a lazy thing who does nothing but eats your food, drinks your drinks, spends your money, and even lives in your house."

"I'm going to wash my face." Chen Ya went to the bathroom.

Although Chen Ya was still as unapproachable as ever, Jiang Xinhai could tell that he wasn't in a good mood.

She picked up the newspaper that had fallen to the ground; it was "Entertainment News." A quick glance at it caught her eye, and she saw the front page:

Only nine out of ten singers are considered top ten! A pop diva angrily criticizes Dao Lang and Zhi Chi: "No style! No quality! No integrity!"

Chapter 132 Saying I Like You for the Second Time

For a fleeting moment, Jiang Xinhai's breath caught in his throat.

Then, taking advantage of Chen Ya's absence, she secretly slipped into the bedroom and unfolded the newspaper.

"...The controversy surrounding the top ten singers, which caused quite a stir, has finally come to an end recently."

"When selecting the top ten most influential singers, judge Yingzi refused to present the award to Dao Lang, and claimed that the award would rather be left vacant than be given to someone like Dao Lang who has no musical talent."

"Due to the collective boycott, the Top Ten Most Influential Singers Award was ultimately awarded to only nine people, while the last award that should have gone to Dao Lang was left unclaimed."

Regarding Dao Lang's songs, pop diva Yingzi bluntly stated: "He (Dao Lang) lacks any aesthetic sense; the popularity of this kind of music is nothing short of a tragedy for the music industry."

"This is not the first time Yingzi has criticized Daolang. On other occasions, Yingzi has also said: those who listen to Daolang's singing have no taste, only farmers go to KTV to sing his songs, and Daolang does not deserve to be included in the top ten most influential singers."

Gao Xiaobo also stated that he would not like anyone who sang Dao Lang's songs, and anyone who sang his songs would be blacklisted by him.

Wang Feng said that Dao Lang's songs were nothing special except for being novel.

"Among many musicians, only the up-and-coming songwriter Zhichi gave Daolang a positive review."

He directly criticized the pop diva Yingzi: "You can despise Dao Lang, but don't forget that his album sales are more than all of yours combined."

"As soon as he said this, he was attacked by the music industry."

Regarding the debate on whether music is meant to cultivate character or simply be sold, the answer was overwhelmingly positive: music certainly cannot be sold.

"And Zhichi was also angrily criticized by the queen Yingzi as being the same as Daolang: lacking style, quality, and integrity! It is a product with no standards, no quality, and no integrity."

"In addition, Dao Lang's 'Punishment of Impulsiveness' was rated as one of the top ten worst songs of the year, and Zhi Chi's 'Too Softhearted' is also on this playlist."

……

After reading the newspaper, Jiang Xinhai understood why Chen Ya seemed to be in a bad mood.

She walked out of the bedroom, hiding the newspaper behind her back. Chen Ya was sitting there eating lunch.

"Finished reading?" Chen Ya asked.

Jiang Xinhai trembled.

He still found out.

"Mm." Jiang Xinhai nodded gently.

Chen Ya shoveled the rice into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and said:

"Do you regret it?"

"regret?"

“I regret working with you,” Chen Ya said. “As you can see, my reputation in the music industry is actually ruined.”

Jiang Xinhai sensed that Chen Ya looked somewhat dejected as he sat there.
