Ye Tian went to the rooftop. When Song Xi found him, he was curled up in a corner.
"Is it because of me?"
Song Xi cut straight to the chase and asked him.
Ye Tian suddenly raised his head from between his legs. Seeing Song Xi, his expression froze for a moment, then he immediately shook his head.
"Liar," Song Xi sat beside him and began to deduce. "Did Liu Dongdong see the trending search online and say bad things about me? You happened to overhear it, and that's why you rushed up to argue with people?"
Ye Tian stammered, "Sis... How did you know?"
"With your temper, how could I not know? Don't you remember, it was the same with Qin Feng last time."
Ye Tian scratched his head, full of apology. "I'm sorry, Song Xi Jie. Do you think I'm really useless? But I really can't stand people saying bad things about you. Do you know what Liu Dongdong said about you! ... Forget it, he's a dog and can't spew anything good. He's dirty, and what he says is dirty too!"
Song Xi smiled. "You know his mouth is dirty, yet you still bothered with him. Ye Tian, in our line of work, how can we only hear good things? There are so many people cursing me online; do you want to argue with all of them?"
"I..."
"I know you're standing up for me, and I'm very grateful. But we are filming a show right now. If this incident is exposed, do you know how many people it will affect?"
Song Xi continued, "Not to mention others, let's talk about Tao Qingyu. He considers you his best friend. You might not care if you ultimately debut in the group, but what about him? How much effort has he put into debuting? You should know, right?"
Ye Tian thought of Tao Qingyu practicing dance day and night, and a sense of guilt arose in his heart.
"...I'm sorry, Xi Jie."
"You shouldn't be apologizing to me." Song Xi patted his shoulder. "But I'm still quite relieved that you didn't resort to violence this time. Compared to last time, you've improved."
Ye Tian: "Really?"
Song Xi blinked her eyes and whispered, "But if you want to fight someone in the future, find a place where no one will know. After all, we are artists, and we need to maintain our image."
Ye Tian felt what she said made a lot of sense and stood up abruptly. "Understood!"
The director couldn't get a reason from Liu Dongdong, and he himself was also guilty, so the matter could only be dropped.
However, afterward, the director sternly criticized both of them, stating that if there was a next time, both would be eliminated!
After this incident, the atmosphere in the fourth group became very subtle.
A morning passed, and in the entire practice room, apart from the sound of singing and footsteps, no one spoke a word.
After the morning training, Qin Feng came to visit Liu Dongdong to have lunch together.
Song Xi frowned. When did they get involved?
Walking out of the classroom, Qin Feng, wary of the cameras, whispered, "You didn't say anything about the phone, did you?"
Liu Dongdong shook his head. "No, if I had, wouldn't I have been eliminated directly?"
Qin Feng sneered. "I told you this Song Xi is not simple; she's very skilled at seducing men. Look, it's only been a few hours, and the tide of public opinion online has completely changed!"
"What? Show me!"
The two went to the restroom. Liu Dongdong saw a trending search pop up: #TheCoolAndDistant Female Lead From Novels Has A Face#. Clicking on it, the first marketing account posted a picture of Song Xi from last night.
Opening the comments, they were all full of praise.
Liu Dongdong scoffed. "Buying trending searches, how disgusting!"
Qin Feng said coldly, "She indeed has her methods. But I have a plan that can bring both Song Xi and Ye Tian down!"
"Quick, tell me!"
...
Anna also saw the news about Song Xi's trending search.
To turn the situation around in one night, someone must be helping her behind the scenes!
Anna thought of Lou Yuming.
Since he went out to dinner with Ye Sen yesterday, he hadn't returned, and he wasn't answering his phone!
She had imagined he might be getting a new phone, but after so much time, he should have given some news, yet there was nothing. She was going crazy with worry.
Just then, the door of the hospital room was opened.
Anna's heart leaped with joy, and she turned her head, but seeing the man's cold and stern face, her complexion turned pale. "Brother... why, why are you back?"
At this moment, at the airport.
After a three-hour flight, Lou Yuming smoothly arrived in B City.
He raised his wrist and checked the time, his dark eyes deep. "To the hotel."
