"Is that her inside the door?"

"Absolutely! Isn't that her rumored boyfriend next to her?"

"Bai Zhiwei is out!"

The door opened, and Tan Qing, wearing a baseball cap, escorted a woman out. The woman was wearing a black trench coat, sunglasses, and a mask.

Paparazzi rushed forward frantically, afraid of being a step behind, their cameras practically shoving in their faces.

This isn't some respectable occasion for journalists; there are also many internet celebrities using their phones to livestream and gain traffic, saying anything to get attention.

"Bai Zhiwei, you came out with him. Does this mean you're admitting to your relationship?"

Could you please tell me what your relationship is?

"How long have you been secretly dating? Who pursued whom first?"

"Netizens say you slept with other men for resources. What's your response?"

Some die-hard fans even yelled from behind, "Sister Bai, clarify this! How can you face us fans?!"

"..."

No matter how harsh their words were, Tan Qing and Bai Zhiwei remained silent. They squeezed into the car with great difficulty and drove away.

"Hurry up! Don't let them get away!"

Those with cars jumped in and chased after the car, while those without cursed and ran a few steps, occasionally shouting "Thank you, Brother Wang, for the carnival!"

The crowd dispersed instantly, and no one noticed that another car was quietly starting up in the corner of the garage.

A group of paparazzi and livestreamers chased the car for ages when suddenly someone shouted, "Damn it! Bai Zhiwei's livestreaming!"

In the live stream, Bai Zhiwei was already at the hotel, wearing a bathrobe and letting her worried fans know she was safe.

"Holy crap, who the hell are we chasing?!"

"I got scammed! Damn it!!" The streamer angrily threw his phone down, honked his horn at the car in front of him a few times, and then turned back home in a huff.

Looking in the rearview mirror, Tan Qing saw that all the vehicles chasing behind had changed direction and breathed a sigh of relief. Then she looked at the person in the passenger seat and said, "Thank you so much for today."

The woman in the passenger seat took off her sunglasses and put on her own glasses, a slight smile playing on her lips. "No problem."

Xie Yan never expected that after so long, their reunion would be such a thrilling spectacle, like something out of a TV drama.

Tan Qing's phone rang, and Xie Qingyu asked from the other end, "How's it going over there? Are the pursuers still chasing the car?"

Tan Qing replied, "They've all left."

"That's good. Be careful. I'll send you the hotel location."

Soon after, Tan Qing drove Xie Yan to the hotel, and the four of them were finally able to meet safely in their room.

The hotel suite was filled with the aroma of meat. When the two arrived, the takeout had just arrived as well. Xie Qingyu was unpacking the takeout on the coffee table, while Bai Zhiwei didn't look so worried and was excitedly waiting for the meal to be served.

Anyway, it can't be solved in a short time, so what can we do?

That’s it for now, let’s eat first.

From hamburgers and pizzas to grilled skewers and lobster, a table was slowly set up. Bai Zhiwei greeted Xie Yan warmly as soon as she entered, saying, "Thank you so much for today."

As expected of the young couple, they spoke perfectly, not a single word was wrong. Xie Yan happily took off her black trench coat and handed it back to her, saying, "It was nothing."

The situation was urgent, and the number of people gathering downstairs was increasing. If they didn't leave soon, they wouldn't be able to get out. Coincidentally, the two women had similar hair length and body size, so Xie Yan put on Bai Zhiwei's clothes and pulled off a switcheroo.

She had never imagined that Xiao Bai would end up with Tan Qing, after all, Bai Zhiwei was the female lead of the original timeline, and she and Gu Qingyu were the official couple.

However, since the man is indifferent and the woman is not interested, it seems that she and Tan Qing are a good match, one being bright and beautiful and the other mature and steady.

The well-matched young couple went to distribute the tableware. Xie Qingyu pulled Xie Yan aside and muttered, "What's wrong with you? Why is your brainwave not working again?" He had muttered to Xie Yan several times earlier, but she hadn't responded.

Xie Yan sighed, "I'm not the host for completing tasks anymore. The system is offline, so I won't have this function anymore. It just so happens to be offline these past few days."

"?" Xie Qingyu scratched his head and muttered, "It can be like this? Okay then."

Xie Qingyu wasn't too worried about what happened today. After all, there was a plot in the original novel where the female lead's relationship was exposed. Although the male lead has changed now, it's not a big problem. In the original novel, since Gu Qingyu was the company's CEO, the explosion of that plot was much greater than it is now.

At the dinner table, Bai Zhiwei neatly tied her hair up, looking younger without makeup. Her expression was somewhat familiar. She placed a large lobster on Xie Yan's plate as a thank you. "By the way, I haven't asked your name yet?"

Xie Yan: "My surname is Xie, you can just call me Xiao Xie."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhiwei and Tan Qing exchanged a glance, clearly finding it a coincidence, but said nothing. Gradually, the atmosphere became more and more harmonious, except for Tan Qing, who kept her eyes downcast as if she had no appetite.

The man in his thirties sat on the sofa, his mind filled with the nonsense he had overheard at the company entrance. He thought it was a good thing Bai Zhiwei wasn't there and hadn't heard it.

Tan Qing has always been calm and composed. Getting together with Bai Zhiwei is probably the most outrageous thing he has ever done in his life. In the past, he thought he would just find a kind girl, get married in a respectful manner, and live a simple and peaceful life. He never expected that he would be with a popular female star and be surrounded by paparazzi.

He wondered if this step was too hasty. He didn't want Bai Zhiwei to suffer so much pressure because of this.

“Weiwei…”

Xie Yan got goosebumps from Bai Zhiwei's cheesy way of saying "Weiwei," but Bai Zhiwei seemed used to it, taking a bite of her hamburger and puffing out her cheeks. "What?"

"Now that things have come to this, I've decided..."

Before Tan Qing could finish speaking, Bai Zhiwei knew what he wanted to say: he wanted her to deny everything and then draw all the criticism to him. She immediately raised her eyebrows, unleashing her full power, and said, "You little mouth!!"

Tan Qing: ......

Tan Qing: "Not saying anything..."

The siblings watching from the sidelines were stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter, especially Xie Qingyu, who remembered the scene of Bai Zhiwei giving him a lesson a long time ago.

Clearly, Bai Zhiwei's innate teaching talent hasn't faded, after all, she's the only woman present with a teaching certificate.

Tan Qing was so embarrassed by the unrestrained laughter of the onlookers that he turned his head away. He was the oldest and the most embarrassed of them all. The man who always prided himself on his composure turned red from ear to neck, and he really managed to keep his mouth shut and not make a sound.

After all that fuss, it was already late at night. The suite had several bedrooms, but it wouldn't be good to disturb the young couple, so the two men surnamed Xie left.

Because it was late, Xie Yan booked a room next door. Before going to sleep, she scrolled through the trending topics for a while, which she hadn't done in a long time. When she got tired, she closed her eyes and prepared to sleep. In her hazy state, she felt like she had forgotten something...
