Having cooled off a full day, Yang Wei was no longer as irritable as she had been in the morning, when she had first seen the news. She remained at the gate a little while, staring out, then made her way toward Qi Xiao Yan's car.

He looked a little confused and doubtful to see her getting on. She shut the door and turned to him, "Why do you look like something just happened that you didn't anticipate?"

"I thought you would pretend not to see me."

Yang Wei hmphed. So there was a little self-awareness there. "Anything to say to me?”

“Um... did you see the article?”

“I saw it. The paparazzi’s technique sucked. Your face looked distorted.”

Qi Xiao Yan was silent. He seemed to be organizing what to say. "The dinner with Song Jin was just a dinner. You were there at the hotel incident, so I've already explained that. And as for visiting her home, I went there to tell her not to look for you again."

Yang Wei raised an eyebrow when she heard this part. "You did that?"

"Didn't you say you never wanted to see her again?"

Yang Wei turned to look out of the window and said nothing. The car was quiet for a while. Then she asked, "Any reporters surrounding you at the university?"

He frowned to hear her mention this. "There was a group outside the dormitory today, and the headmaster addressed me specifically about it as well."

She gave him a sideways glance. "He won't fire you, will he?"

"Nothing so serious. He asked me to settle this matter as soon as possible."

Yang Wei snorted. "How are you going to solve it? Do you think those reporters really want an explanation from you? All they want is a topic." She paused and asked anxiously, "What did you say to them?"

"I gave them the Sylvester theorem."

Yang Wei: "..."

She could see the reporter's expression in her head.

She pursed her lips. "For entertainment, they can translate whatever you say into what they want to hear, and things might then get worse. Anyway, that's what the entertainment circle is like. Just wait it out. They'll eventually forget about it and pay attention elsewhere."

Qi Xiao Yan nodded.

"But that was disgusting of Song Jin." If Qi Xiao Yan hadn't been able to cope with the reporters, what would those people playing around in the showbiz industry have done? There hadn't been any sound from her so far. Was she using this as hype? Yang Wei frowned, and said to Qi Xiao Yan, "Give me your phone."

"What?" Though doubtful, he handed over his phone. Yang Wei opened the contact list and scrolled through. Then she glanced at him, "There was indeed a phone call from Song Jin."

Qi Xiao Yan: "..."

It was impossible to guard against this person.

Yang Wei tapped on Song Jin’s name and called her back. It was quickly answered, and she heard Song Jin’s voice through the receiver. "Senior Qi?"
