Desire! This Romance Is Overflowing with Ambiguous Atmosphere! So Sweet! - Chapter 4

The relationship scoop was broken by a well-known gossip account.

The explosive headline, the detailed description, and the evidence that convinced everyone it was undeniable.

In the surveillance footage.

Two figures were pressed intimately against each other in the emergency stairwell.

The lighting was dim, the space cramped. Wen Shiwu had her arms wrapped around Yu Zheng’s neck as he held her firmly against him with one strong arm, pinning her to the wall as if about to kiss her.

The camera had captured their faces at one point.

At that moment, Wen Shiwu had just been pulled into the stairwell and hadn’t yet caught her breath from being chased by security.

Her heart was racing, her breathing ragged.

Her beautiful, deer-like eyes were glistening with moisture, and her slightly parted lips looked irresistibly tempting.

Just then, Yu Zheng happened to be reminding her to keep quiet.

He leaned in, lowering his gaze, their noses almost touching, his long lashes casting shadows as he whispered “Shh,” his lips moving subtly, in the blurry video, it looked exactly like they were kissing!!!

Later on.

Perhaps Yu Zheng was trying to shield Wen Shiwu from view, he turned his back, and with the size difference, the camera could only capture his broad shoulders and narrow waist, making it look even more like they were secretly kissing with their backs to the camera!

When this earth-shattering relationship scoop surfaced, both fandoms and the comment sections exploded!

“Holy crap!!! What kind of iconic scene is this?”

“Wait, the chemistry in this video is off the charts! Even idol dramas wouldn’t dare film something this intense!”

“Is this for real? It’s not edited, is it? Yu Zheng and Wen Shiwu? I’ve never heard of them having any connection, when did they get together behind our backs???”

“Casual fan passing by, this video is insane, it’s undeniable. I’ve never seen a leak more convincing than this.”

“Yu Zheng, I’m crying! That size difference! Those strong arms! This guy’s carrying her with one arm! If you don’t get it, just leave forever, okay?”

“OMG, he even stole Wen Shiwu’s high heels!”

“Ahhh, so steamy! The veins on Yu Zheng’s arms are so hot! He’s the most sleep-worthy man in the world, am I right? Wen Shiwu, you’re living my dream!!!”

Help!

What dream is that?

The dream of sleeping with Yu Zheng?

Wen Shiwu tossed her phone aside and pretended to faint: “I must not be awake yet. I must still be dreaming.”

Lin Yixian crossed her arms and looked down at her with a narrowed gaze.

She bent over to pick up the phone, checked the public opinion, and saw that Wen Shiwu and Yu Zheng’s fan communities were already at each other’s throats.

Especially Yu Zheng’s side.

His girlfriend fans couldn’t handle the leak and immediately swarmed Wen Shiwu’s page to attack her.

“Stop forcing this narrative, fans! Hot tip: Yu Zheng has a childhood sweetheart white moonlight, his famous work ‘Dimpled Little Sister’ was written for her! How could he possibly be interested in Wen Shiwu, who he’s never had any connection with?”

The girlfriend fans were overreacting.

On Wen Shiwu’s side, there wasn’t much negative reaction to her dating. Most of her fans were protective “mom fans,” and seeing these baseless attacks, they felt both heartbroken and angry, so they fought back.

“Well, why don’t you keep your own idol in check? If he has a white moonlight, why is he messing with our Wubao? Who do you think you are?”

Back and forth.

The two sides were locked in a heated argument.

Lin Yixian rubbed her temples in frustration: “Instead of playing dead, you should figure out who leaked this video to sabotage you.”

“And also…”

She looked at Wen Shiwu with a teasing, knowing smile: “When did you meet up with Yu Zheng? Where did this video even come from?”

Wen Shiwu lay flat on her back on the bed.

Her posture looked as if she were lying in a coffin.

She blinked and stared at the ceiling. “On the day of the Starlight Gala, he was the one who led me into the emergency exit to avoid the security guards, so I didn’t get caught by those people.”

Lin Yixian: “…”

“And you didn’t tell me!!!”

“I thought no one would know about the emergency exit anyway.” Wen Shiwu spoke with confidence, lifting her face. “What should we do? Will this kind of gossip affect his career?”

“You should worry about yourself first.”

Lin Yixian shot her an annoyed glance. “Yu Zheng’s fan girls have already torn you apart online, and you’re still concerned about whether it’ll affect his career???”

“But the relationship rumors are completely made up. The video is blurry, and it only looks like they’re kissing because of the angle…”

Wen Shiwu muttered softly.

She crawled out from under the covers. “I’m completely innocent. I’ll just post a Weibo to clarify things.”

As she spoke, Wen Shiwu started drafting a post.

But Lin Yixian suddenly raised her hand. “Wait.”

Her expression was complicated as she watched the live stream she had just pulled up, her brows furrowing tighter the more she watched.

“Take a look at this first.” She handed her phone over.

Curious, Wen Shiwu leaned in to look. The live stream camera was a bit shaky, but eventually, she could clearly see that sweet face, adorned with heavy, flawless makeup.

In the live stream.

Luo Xuan, a top-tier actress with a similar image to Wen Shiwu, was surrounded by a crowd of reporters at the entrance of a studio.

Facing the camera, she smiled sweetly. “What other gossip do you all want to know from me? Actually, I just happened to run into them backstage. I was really surprised at the time and thought Teacher Wen had finally succeeded in pursuing God Yu.”

Wen Shiwu: ???

Who? She was pursuing whom???

Wen Shiwu had a gut feeling that something was off. She immediately snatched the phone from Lin Yixian’s hand.

The live stream was being hosted by the same gossip account that had broken the relationship rumors.

The account owner claimed to have found an eyewitness who saw Wen Shiwu and Yu Zheng secretly kissing backstage. They had rushed with their team to Luo Xuan’s location, rallying netizens to watch the interview.

The comments in the live chat weren’t exactly friendly,

“Damn! What does that mean? Wen What’s-her-name was chasing after God Yu? So, they weren’t even dating at all!”

“‘Thought’? So, she didn’t succeed, huh~”

“I knew God Yu would never be interested in her! Oh wow, could it be that Wen What’s-her-name was throwing herself at him?”

“I’ve always felt that this Wen girl had a shady vibe. That fox-like face, she’s been good at seducing people since she debuted at five. Now that she’s grown up, her true colors are showing!”

“Can Luo Xuan’s fans stop talking nonsense everywhere? Are you jealous that my daughter is so beautiful?”

“If you’re going to spread rumors, be prepared to face legal consequences! Otherwise, shake your brain cells together before you speak!”

“Let’s ignore her! Wuwu isn’t that kind of person! If a dog bites us, do we have to bite back? Send her to the vet for a check-up instead!”

The live chat was filled with all sorts of comments.

Some were vicious, even escalating to personal attacks, as if they were itching to dig up the Wen family’s ancestral graves.

But there were also plenty of people defending Wen Shiwu.

The exposure of Wen Shiwu and Yu Zheng’s alleged relationship had caused a huge stir, and this gossip account was excellent at generating hype and traffic. Many people were camping in the live stream, waiting for the truth.

And Luo Xuan’s revelation was the biggest breakthrough.

The paparazzi asked, “So, there was no so-called relationship at all? Was this all orchestrated by Wen Shiwu herself?”

Luo Xuan chuckled softly.

She shook her head. “I can only tell the truth. Last night, I really did see Teacher Wen chasing after Yu Zheng.”

Wen Shiwu had long been clenching her fists in frustration.

She smiled. “Me? Chasing after him??? Wasn’t it the security guard chasing me into the break room?”

The paparazzi asked, “Then what about the one-armed wall pin?”

“That…” Luo Xuan tilted her head as if recalling the scene from last night.

“From what I saw, Teacher Wen was sticking too close, and Yu Zheng seemed a bit annoyed. To save her some face, he pulled her aside to warn her.”

Wen Shiwu: ???

“She’s lying!” She was about to explode. “It was Yu Zheng who suddenly picked me up without any explanation!”

Although it was because she had lost her high heels while running.

Lin Yixian raised an eyebrow. “Wow… I had no idea your night was so intense~”

“As for the leaked kissing video…”

Luo Xuan laughed again during the livestream. “Actually, it wasn’t what everyone thought. Teacher Wen tried to force a kiss after her confession was rejected, and Yu Zheng barely managed to dodge it. That’s why the surveillance footage captured that angle. All the ambiguity was just the result of editing.”

Wen Shiwu: !!!

“Who???” She jumped up from the bed. “Who tried to force a kiss after being rejected?”

Wen Shiwu had finally had enough of Luo Xuan’s lies.

Grabbing Lin Yixian’s phone, she pressed the screen and sent a voice comment into the livestream:

“Luo Xuan! Don’t act like a little frog crossing the road pretending to be a camouflaged jeep! Let me tell you, liars who drink boba will find no milk tea!!!”

This was immediately followed by Lin Yixian’s delayed, explosive reaction:

“Wen Shiwu!!!”
