Chapter 260 Public Relationship

“Wang Caiqin, Li Ze has been pursuing you for so long, and you haven’t even given him a second glance. You even said that wherever Wang Caiqin goes, Li Ze and his dogs are not allowed to enter. I’ll say the same to you. Where Yun Xia and I go, you and your cronies are not allowed to enter. Otherwise… you’ll be just like Liu Ruolan, thrown far away.”

Liu Ruolan's family was a middle-class family, running a clothing business. Wang Caiqin's family was a working-class family, with her parents being primary school teachers. They were nominally respected by others, but their take-home pay was pitifully low, let alone any power or influence.

Upon hearing this, she was so frightened that she trembled all over, grabbed her friend, and ran away, covered in dust and dirt.

Bai Ye strode forward, placed his hand on the girl's shoulder, and asked with concern, "Xiaxia, are you... alright?"

"Those few cowards, they were begging for mercy after only two hits, before the willow branches had even been whipped. Ugh, they really disgraced the students of Jiangxi Medical University."

God knows how worried he was when he heard that the girl had been cornered again. Seeing her acting as if nothing had happened, and eloquently recounting her achievements, he felt heartbroken. In the end, he pulled the girl into his arms.

Yunxia: ...What's going on?

The girl struggled to break free from his embrace, tidied her messy bangs, and said, "Bai Ye, men and women shouldn't touch each other. Even if you're worried about my safety next time, don't do this. It will make my boyfriend misunderstand!"

"Boyfriend?" Bai Ye frowned slightly and asked in confusion.

"Yeah, we just confirmed our relationship not long ago. Once things are more stable, I'll bring him over for you two to meet. Oh, by the way, we need to figure out a way to clear up the rumors about us at school, otherwise... he'll get jealous!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ye's lips twitched several times. "There's no need to be in such a hurry, Xia Xia. I believe that the boyfriend you've found is an open-minded and magnanimous person who won't take rumors to heart!"

The girl extended her index finger, wiggled it from side to side a few times, and said nonchalantly, "No! No! No! It seems you've never been in a relationship. People dominated by hormones and dopamine think completely differently from normal people. Take yesterday for example, he was even jealous of a little kid, let alone a handsome guy!"

"Hey, there's a social gathering next Friday. We'll announce that we're good friends there, so other people won't misunderstand and your suitors won't go crazy. It's settled then. I'm going back to my dorm now."

After saying that, without waiting for a reply, he ran off. Bai Ye, who was standing there, twitched at the corner of his mouth and kept thinking about a solution.

On the weekend, Gu Xun came to pick her up and take her back to the villa. During the two days of rest, he seemed to have changed his personality. He was no longer extremely jealous. Instead, he was very generous and even claimed that if there were any unfounded rumors, even if the girl was with someone else, he would understand and wouldn't be jealous at all.

Having a plan in mind, Yunxia gently patted his shoulder a few times and said tenderly, "Relax, since I've chosen to be with you, I should find a way to clarify those unpleasant rumors outside. Just wait!"

After saying that, he walked away without looking back, leaving Gu Xun standing there completely bewildered!

Friday arrived quickly. At 8 PM, in the school activity room, Bai Ye, dressed in a suit, with a slight smile on his lips, delivered his magnetic voice through the loudspeaker, filling the entire activity room as the host.

The female host, dressed in a fitted evening gown, gazed at Bai Ye with tender eyes throughout the performance. Even when the audience cheered, she simply smiled shyly and tacitly approved of their actions.

"A handsome man and a beautiful woman, they are a perfect match!"

"Exactly! If I could win the favor of Liu Yunyun, the most beautiful girl in our department, I'd be laughing in my sleep every night!"

"Senior Bai, give me a straight answer! Do you like her or not? I need to hurry up and pursue her!"

"Bai Ye, I'm sorry, I didn't expect the audience to react like this. Don't take it too seriously. Do you have a date later? I'd like to invite you to dinner and we can talk about some things!" After saying that, she lowered her head shyly. The audience's cheers grew louder, making her ears turn red with embarrassment.

"Hey, I heard that the junior student majoring in Traditional Chinese Medicine is Bai Ye's girlfriend. I wonder if it's true or not. Why don't we take this opportunity to ask her?"

"That's right, that's right, I've heard about it too. Rumor has it that that junior is good at playing tricks and has hooked up with several guys at the same time. Senior Bai Ye, you'd better keep your eyes open and stay away from people like that."

...

Questioning, jeering, and belittling filled the area around the stage. Taking advantage of the audience's chatter, the female host mustered her courage and said in a joking tone, "I'm sure everyone has heard the rumors about Senior Bai Ye and Junior Yun Xia. Why don't we take this opportunity to give everyone a definite answer, right, Bai Ye?"

After saying that, with a shy smile on her face and affection in her eyes, she held the microphone up to him, almost to his lips. With her little scheme, she tried to create an indirect kiss to add some ambiguity.

Just then, Yunxia, ​​who was having a great time, took advantage of her drunkenness to go up on the stage and hug Bai Ye, which shocked the audience and drew a lot of sarcastic remarks from the female host.

The girl swayed as if she couldn't stand steadily, her breath carrying a sweet, cloying smell of red wine. "Bai Ye, we grew up together. Here, I'll give you this chance to clarify things. Tell everyone what our relationship really is, hehehe!"

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Bai Ye only wanted to carry the girl away, but she was as steadfast as a rock, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free.

"Junior Sister Yunxia, ​​let go of Senior Brother Baiye first, he's being choked so badly he can barely breathe!"

Yun Xia raised her eyes slightly, rolled her eyes at him, pouted, and said domineeringly, "No, it's none of your business. He hasn't even said anything yet, why are you jumping in? Do you two have something going on?"

The female host was initially annoyed, but then became shy, her bashful eyes fixed on Bai Ye, as if eagerly awaiting his answer.

Seeing that someone was still silent, Yunxia snatched the microphone and said, "Since he can't find the words right now, let me clarify. Actually, he and I..."

Upon hearing that she wanted to clarify, Bai Ye immediately became anxious, grabbed the microphone, and loudly interrupted, "Actually, Yun Xia and I are just boyfriend and girlfriend. There is no question of me being fickle or promiscuous. If anyone dares to do anything behind my back, don't blame me for being unreasonable."

Suddenly, his attitude changed, and he coldly said to the female host, "I'm sorry, I can't accept your invitation. If you have any academic matters, you can go to the lecturer. If it's about the social gathering, the gathering will be over after tonight, so there's no need to discuss it further."

After speaking, he bowed apologetically to the audience below the stage, and then helped the stunned girl away!

Yunxia: ...Something's not going right!

Shouldn't they have publicly clarified that they were just friends, then found an opportunity later to expose the fact that Bai Ye and Gu Xun were the same person, and then made him... lose both his money and his lover?
