Wan Tong adapted to the busy life of part-time work. At school, she only attended her major courses and rarely went to large classes. She spent some money to have someone sign in for her.
As the final exams approached, Geng Yue seemed to reduce his appearances. Wan Tong had already seen him several times on campus.
She would greet him casually without saying much.
But for some reason, she began to notice that she kept encountering him in many situations.
After finishing another part-time job and walking on the street, Wan Tong saw Geng Yue coming towards her.
Now he was at the peak of his popularity, so he was wearing a mask.
“What a coincidence,” he said in a muffled voice.
Wan Tong looked up at him, seeing that he was smiling, seemingly in a very good mood.
After hesitating for a moment, Wan Tong decided not to speak and walked past him.
Every time, she would greet him, but not this time.
So Geng Yue paused for a moment, turned around to look at her slender figure, and froze in place.
After a while, he took a step and followed her from behind, not too close.
Wan Tong’s rented place was in the urban village, and the street was quite lively. Street vendors shouted loudly, not afraid of urban management officers. She knew Geng Yue was following her, maybe he had followed her like this before, but today, he must have deliberately let her notice.
As she was about to reach the downstairs, Wan Tong suddenly turned around, walked a few steps to him, and squeezed out a fierce and annoyed expression. “What do you want to do?”
Geng Yue didn’t answer directly but asked, “Why are you angry?”
“If you’re following me, shouldn’t I be angry?”
“You know I just want to walk with you.” Geng Yue took off his mask, lowered his head, and when his deep eyes were fixed on her, he said, “You also know, I like you.”
Wan Tong opened her mouth but couldn’t speak. Why was he so direct?
Seeing her foolish expression, Geng Yue took a step forward, getting even closer to her. He used his pleasant voice to tempt her, “Can I be your boyfriend? What do you say?”
“I just broke up with your roommate,” Wan Tong reminded him.
“So what? Those things before were just for fun, right?” he said, knowing that her past relationships didn’t last long. However, at that time, she didn’t know him, and he couldn’t even find time to return to school.
“Even if I agree, you’re just someone I’ll play with,” Wan Tong said bluntly.
“I like you playing with me,” Geng Yue said without blinking.
Wan Tong was momentarily speechless.
“I don’t like your type,” she said coldly and turned to go upstairs.
The footsteps startled the lights in the stairwell, dim yellow and flickering. Geng Yue followed her and held her hand on the stairs.
His palm was large and warm, and Wan Tong felt a burning sensation, wanting to shake him off.
Geng Yue didn’t let her succeed but instead pulled her down and pressed her against the mottled wall.
“What kind of person do you like?” he asked.
Wan Tong didn’t expect Geng Yue to be so aggressive, and for a moment, she couldn’t resist.
Could you take it slow, please? Who starts with pressing someone against a wall?
“Please refer to my previous nine boyfriends,” she said seriously.
After her words, she clearly saw a flash of cold light in his black eyes, and his handsome face darkened.
The dim yellow light suddenly dimmed, and Wan Tong found herself in darkness, unable to see even the person in front of her clearly.
Before she could speak, she felt softness on her lips, warmth spreading.
His nose lightly touched hers, and the scorching breath didn’t need to be mentioned, directly falling on her sensitive skin.
“They have no reference value,” Geng Yue said softly, slightly withdrawing.
When Wan Tong was about to decide whether to slap him or not, the lights suddenly came back on.
Geng Yue had already let go of her and stepped back. “The first kiss is very sweet.”
Wan Tong : !!!
—How did he even know about that?!
Until Geng Yue left, Wan Tong stood in the hallway like a fool. The first thing she did when she got home was set all her Weibo posts to be visible only to herself!
After entering university, everyone played on Weibo, and Wan Tong had an account too, but she never made it public. So, she usually just recorded her own feelings.
Yesterday, what did she post?
[The first kiss is very sweet, to be saved for a real boyfriend. Those who couldn’t last five days are all out.]
So childish, so arrogant, so sentimental…
Wan Tong simply deleted it.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Originally, Wantong thought that as long as the assistant didn’t play tricks, Geng Yue wouldn’t have any problems for a while. But unexpectedly, a second Raider suddenly appeared!
The Raider is male, named Hu Yanting.
Not to mention Wan Tong, even Shishi felt like facing a formidable enemy.
Because Wan Tong was caught off guard and only guarded against the assistant, she never expected that Hu Yanting would reveal an internal scandal of the male group, that there are homosexual relationship!
And he even provided photos!
The photos seemed both real and fake, making it impossible to distinguish. After this explosive news came out, the boyband Stone fell into a vortex of negative public opinion.
As the team captain, Geng Yue bore the brunt.
All clarifications seemed pale and powerless in the eyes of the excited and angry fans. All group activities were either canceled or suspended, but the online criticism continued.
Wan Tong knew that in the world’s plot, there were indeed two members of the boyband who were dating, but this secret had been well-protected. It wasn’t until more than ten years later that the two publicly came out and boldly admitted their relationship.
But at this critical moment, the second Raider stirred up trouble with these hard-to-distinguish photos, implicating all members.
Whether those two dating members come out to admit the relationship or not, the results won’t be good.
Wan Tong felt that it might be because the boss kissed her, so he had such bad luck.
On her way home from the calligraphy education institution, she checked Geng Yue’s news again at night.
The shift from fan to hater is a terrifying existence. Whatever was loved before is now hated just as much.
In the photo Hu Yanting released, Geng Yue was shirtless, pressed against a handsome guy in the group, and the posture was somewhat ambiguous.
If it were under normal circumstances, this photo wouldn’t be a big deal. It might even stir up fujoshi1‘s excitement. But at this juncture, any photo with ambiguity became evidence of their internal misconduct!
Staring at that photo, Wan Tong gritted her teeth, turned her head, and sent out her resume.
Hu Yanting is the CEO of a listed company, in his thirties, considered young in the business world, and moreover, he looks quite handsome. Now that he has manipulated the information through marketing channels, he has caused Geng Yue to end up like this.
Of course, Geng Yue’s miserable situation is also partly due to her bad luck physique.
That kiss was enough to ruin his reputation.
Wan Tong sighed, feeling depressed as she got off the bus. When she walked downstairs, she felt that someone was following her.
Her first reaction was Geng Yue.
Sure enough, under the streetlight, Geng Yue’s figure was stretched long.
He didn’t even wear a mask, no disguise at all, just appeared in front of her.
He seemed a bit frustrated, his head slightly lowered. When he came in front of her, he spoke, “You came back very late tonight.”
Wan Tong pressed her lips, took a step back, and distanced herself from him.
Geng Yue’s eyes dimmed a bit, quietly watching her, his hand by his side slightly tightened.
Does she also believe those things online? Does she dislike him too?
She… can’t be like this.
“Geng Yue, don’t come looking for me anymore. I really don’t like being stared at all the time. I’m busy and don’t have time to deal with you…” Wan Tong said, and her voice lowered.
There seemed to be a thin mist in Geng Yue’s black eyes, making her feel a bit sorry for him.
When he reached out to hug her, she quickly turned and ran upstairs.
Geng Yue’s hand hung in the air, his black eyes followed her figure.
After a while, his hands finally fell weakly.
When Wan Tong returned home, the first thing she did was open the curtains and look down from the window.
Geng Yue was still there, and he happened to look up in her direction.
She hesitated for a moment, quickly retreated, and then pulled the curtains shut with a swish.
He shouldn’t have seen her, right?
After half an hour, she opened the curtains again, and this time there was no sign of Geng Yue.
She really had to restrain herself for now; she couldn’t get close to Geng Yue temporarily.
Firstly, because of her special constitution, and secondly, there were two Raiders in this world. That guy Hu Yanting seemed not easy to deal with. If she was discovered to be Geng Yue’s ‘White Moonlight,’ she might end up dead in Hu Yanting’s hands the next moment.
So, even if she felt sorry for the boss, she had to endure for now.
The next day, Wan Tong received an interview notice from Star Entertainment.
Star Entertainment was the company set up by Hu Yanting to enter the entertainment industry, and it was currently developing well.
Wan Tong had previously chosen part-time jobs with organizations that were willing to forgo contracts because once a contractual relationship was established, various accidents could happen at her workplace.
Therefore, a company like Star Entertainment, still relatively small in scale, should be within the range of places where she could wreak havoc…
She wanted to bankrupt Hu Yanting.
While waiting for the interview, several people walked past her, and suddenly they all stopped.
The leading man was Hu Yanting.
She had seen his photos; Shishi had provided them.
Hu Yanting’s gaze swept over Wan Tong, and finally, he gestured to the young man behind him and left.
“Miss, are you here for the assistant position interview?” Zhang Liaoran politely asked, his eyes also showing appreciation and amazement.
It’s a pity not to be an artist with looks like hers.
Wan Tong stood up and nodded, “Yes.”
“I have better cooperation conditions here. I don’t know if Miss would like to hear them?” Zhang Liaoran continued to ask.
Wan Tong was a bit confused and quickly said, “I’m actually a student. I saw the recruitment for fresh graduates, so I came.”
Zhang Liaoran nodded and invited her to a separate conference room, then explained his intentions.
Zhang Liaoran was the head of the brokerage department and wanted to sign her as an artist under his management.
Of course, Wan Tong refused. She had come to cause trouble for Hu Yanting, and being so far away from him, when would she have the chance to cause trouble successfully?
After repeated refusals from Wan Tong, Zhang Liaoran seemed to sense something. “Could it be that you have your eyes on our boss?”
“…” Wan Tong blinked, expressing confusion.
Seeing her innocent and unknowing appearance, Zhang Liaoran began to doubt if he was overthinking things.
Regardless, Wan Tong got what she wanted. She became Hu Yanting’s assistant, helping him organize documents on Star Entertainment and submitting them for approval.
