Chapter 359 Begins a New Decade



The next day, something quite sensational happened in the entertainment industry—Mo Ziqi, a popular young male star, suddenly released an apology video appearing without makeup.

In the shaky video, Mo Ziqi, who was unusually without makeup, looked haggard with a sallow complexion and bloodshot eyes, clearly having stayed up all night. He bowed deeply to the camera, indicating that he had done something wrong. After a sleepless night of reflection, he felt extremely remorseful and hoped that the girl he had unjustly hurt could forgive him.

As soon as the video was released, Mo Ziqi's fans left messages of concern in the comments section, asking what happened to Mo Baobao and urging her to take care of her health. Some fans who were attracted to his appearance couldn't stand his bare face and immediately unfollowed him. However, the most prominent presence in the comments section was the huge number of netizens who were just watching the drama unfold.

[I came here because of the trending topics, but what's the juicy gossip?]

[No context provided, vague and ambiguous, bad review.]

Who is this girl Mo Ziqi is talking about? Could she be his secret girlfriend?

Regardless of the circumstances, the guy surnamed Mo must have done something wrong and left something in the woman's hands. He deserves it, in short.

Regardless of netizens' speculations and even analytical posts, Mo Ziqi's official team has not made any further response.

By the afternoon, all sorts of negative information about Mo Ziqi spread rapidly and silently throughout the industry, including irrefutable evidence of Mo Hao (original name) bullying others in school before his debut.

In just four hours, Mo Ziqi's Weibo followers dropped by 300,000, and many celebrity friends who seemed to have a good relationship with him on variety shows unfollowed him. Netizens mocked and condemned him, while speculating on gossip forums that Mo might have offended some powerful figure, otherwise his career wouldn't have collapsed so suddenly and systematically.

Yu Ning had a low-grade fever last night and woke up a little late this morning.

As soon as I turned off my phone alarm and opened my eyes, I heard 050's eerie mechanical voice echoing in my ears: "Good morning, host. You are still 1 billion and 17 yuan short of your 1 billion yuan goal."

"...Where did the seventeen yuan come from?"

050's indifferent voice was tinged with schadenfreude:

"Oh, it's your unpaid electricity bill because your dad ran the air conditioner all day yesterday."

Yu Ning, who successfully transformed into a second-generation debtor: "..."

She removed her hand from her eyelids, took a breath, and sat up. Her slightly agitated gaze paused when it landed on a certain spot. She raised her hand and flicked at the candy wrappers that she hadn't thrown away on the bedside table, and finally smiled.

"Okay, my ten years have begun."

When Yu Ning arrived at the classroom two or three minutes before morning self-study, Yan Shuangxi, who had arrived earlier, was sitting at her seat, glued to her phone, scrolling through the screen with a gossipy expression, chatting with the person next to her: "Holy crap... thank goodness I thought Mo Ziqi was a bit pretentious and didn't become a fan... good heavens, this place is a complete ruin..."

Upon hearing the sound of a chair being pulled and scraped beside her, Yan Shuangxi immediately turned her head, wanting to share the juicy gossip with Yu Ning, who was on 3G. "Ningning, you're finally here! Let me tell you, this morning was absolutely amazing! Have you heard of Mo—wait…?"

Yan Shuangxi, turning her head and raising her eyes, froze the moment she saw Yu Ning. Her mouth gaped open, uttering a questioning syllable. After a moment, she blinked rapidly, her words slightly stammering, but her flushed cheeks betrayed her curiosity and shyness: "Ning... Ningning, you seem different today..."

The girl, who usually wore her hair in a high ponytail, turned her head at the sound, her soft, slightly curled hair tracing a gentle arc in the air. A questioning look appeared in Yu Ning's dark eyes:

"What's wrong?"

Is it because he reeks of being heavily in debt?

Yan Shuangxi stared intently at Yu Ning, whose features were fully exposed. She was strikingly beautiful, yet possessed a slightly aloof air. Although she didn't appear as gentle and harmless as usual, but—

It's strange that it made this straight woman's heart flutter...

It wasn't until Yu Ning waved her hand in front of her with concern that Yan Shuangxi finally reacted, "N-nothing, Ningning, you look really good with your ponytail."

However, they all look good no matter which one they are.

"What was I going to tell you? Oh right, you know Mo Ziqi, right..."

Yan Shuangxi excitedly shared the hot news she had just learned with Yu Ning. Yu Ning glanced at the apology video posted by the peacock with falling feathers, her eyes calm and unwavering. She didn't mention that the girl who didn't appear in the video was herself. However, while Yan Shuangxi was ranting and raving, she took out her textbook and coldly said, "Serves you right."

Yan Shuangxi's abrupt pause: ...Oh my.

Her gentle and sweet classmate seems to have really changed!

The first class of the afternoon had just ended when Yu Ning took the filled-out form to her chemistry competition teacher. For the first step in redeeming herself, Yu Ning had already chosen a direction—something she had always wanted to do in her past life but had never been able to achieve—getting into a top university.

050 secretly complained, "I think you're just here to make up for your regrets."

I didn't notice Yu Ning's intention in choosing chemistry and biology related topics.

On her way to submit the form, Yu Ning ran into Xie Jingcheng, who had just returned from PE class with a ball. She nodded slightly to him and then simply walked past him.

Xu Yizhou, now relegated to the background, lifted his jersey to wipe the sweat from his chin, and looked at Yu Ning's distant figure with surprise: "You've already lost interest in Cheng-ge so quickly?"

Xie Jingcheng glanced at the receding figure, a thoughtful look flashing in his sharp phoenix eyes.

The last time Xie Jingcheng and she met and talked was when Yu Ning came to his class to thank him, but that wasn't their first meeting.

After all, he already knew that the person who had secretly spied on him at Songhe Hospital was Yu Ning.

I don't know what made her stop pretending.

Xie Jingcheng has never liked putting on a show, but that doesn't stop him from being able to easily recognize other people's fake faces. For example, Yu Ci, who stood next to Gu Kai with a gentle smile at the banquet four years ago, or Yu Ning, who came to "sincerely" thank him a few days ago.

The tall, slender boy casually twirled the basketball between his fingers, coolly tossing out a "I'm leaving," and before Xu Yizhou, whose imagination was running wild, could finish muttering to himself, he had already strode away.

There are many rumors circulating in the entertainment circle about Mo Ziqi's rapid downfall, but none of this concerns Xiao Tuanzi, who is oblivious to what's going on in the industry.

She appeared at Pei Yushen's house, her eyes wide with curiosity as she looked around, her vivid expressions conveying her excitement and joy.
