Sweet Nothings (Qing Qing Wo Wo) Chapter 6.3 You Kissed Me!

Huo Yunshen fixated his eyes on her disappearing silhouette. Only after she completely disappeared from his sight did he hunch his back, adding pressure to manually ease the pain in his contorted stomach.

Yan Qing returned back to the dorms. There were only a few girls left. The previous sorrowful atmosphere had completely dissipated.

One of the girls had sat in front of Yan Qing on the bus. She ran over to greet her. “Yan Yan, have you eaten? The dining hall is open now, go eat! Our program is resuming! We’re going to be doing the uniform photoshoot afterwards!”

Yan Qing smiled, lifting up the box in her hand. “I’m about to eat.”

The girl gasped, peering into the bags to look at her food containers and makeup bag. “These look so expensive! Where did you buy them?”

Yan Qing paused. Huo Yunshen’s handsome face flashed before her eyes. She guiltily explained, “….my family delivered these just now.”

The girls crowding around her were even more jealous. They immediately thought of Yan Qing as someone with a powerful background, or perhaps a socialite from a rich family, or someone who would be forced to go back to inherit a million dollar family company if she didn’t make it in the entertainment world. Moreover she was so beautiful, she was definitely a candidate for debuting as center in the group.

Yan Qing regretted her actions. She shouldn’t have brought out these expensive things. Looking around, she saw that at least there weren’t any cameras. She quickly scarfed down the food, thinking that as expected expensive food was mouthwateringly delicious. Afterwards, she hurried to the main dressing room to prepare.

But just as she entered, she unexpectedly became the focus point of attention. Girls in groups turned to size her up with their eyes.

“Oh, it’s her? The one in the yellow dress? Yeah, she’s pretty too.”

“I think her features stand out more than Song Xueran’s…”

“They said the one that got into President Huo’s car had long hair and was wearing a yellow dress. So it’s either her or Song Xueran.”

“Are you guys sure it was President Huo? The one from Huo Corporation? I still don’t really believe it.”

They had all heard a lot of gossip, but no articles revealed the true extent of Huo Corporation’s assets. They only knew that that was a company that was too far for them to reach.

Yan Qing’s whole body froze. She had been so careful, but yet she had still been spotted.

If they found out it was her, there was no way she would be able to explain it!

Yan Qing silently lined up to use the changing rooms. Her heart was beating out of her chest, debating what to do if someone asked her. Suddenly she felt a examining gaze land on her.

Looking over, Yan Qing saw a girl wearing a yellow dress similar to hers. Her face and style looked exquisite. This was probably the model look of the face of a girl’s group. Thinking back to what she heard the others say, she thought that this was mostly like Song Xueran.

Song Xueran met her eyes. Calmly, she secretly nudged the girl with pigtails sitting next to her.

Girl in pigtails coordinated well. She walked over and asked Yan Qing, “Did you hear the rumors? Are they about you?”

Yan Qing denied it three times. “What a joke, of course not, how could that even be possible?”

Roughly everyone in the room had heard.

“See, it wasn’t Yan Qing. Then it must have been Song Xueran. Song Xueran didn’t deny it.”

“I guess it’s true then. Song Xueran has already debuted before, so she probably knows more people than we do–”

“Is Huo Corporation supporting her? Then isn’t she going to debut as center for sure?”

Yan Qing gave a confused look at Song Xueran. She looked confident and pleased.

Yan Qing couldn’t help rolling her eyes. As if with her denial, Song Xueran was undoubtedly now the rumored girl for sure.

She wanted so much to avoid the hassle and yet others were racing to be part of the rumors.

When girls are together, it becomes like a human made rumor mill. By the time Yan Qing entered the dressing room, everyone was whispering about the recent updates to the gossip. “Song Xueran seems to be President Huo’s new girlfriend.” “I heard that President Huo hasn’t had a girlfriend in three years. And that he was jealous because of Song Xueran so he cut off the program.”

Amazing.

Truly, just sitting there and the tea pours itself.

As Yan Qing eagerly listened in to cure her boredom, her phone beeped. The male lead of today’s tea himself messaged him.

[ Yunshen: What are you doing? ] 

Yan Qing’s mood was pretty complicated. If President Huo knew about the rumors, his dedication to his clean image might incite him to throw a bombshell revelation their way.

She responded: [ You don’t need to worry about what I’m up to. On another note, the program doesn’t allow trainees to hold onto phones during filming. I’m about to hand over my phone to the staff, I won’t be able to stay in touch with you afterwards. ~ ]

If it weren’t for this rule, she wouldn’t have agreed to his requests so easily.

She happily waited for President Huo’s defeat. But instead…

[ Yunshen: You can hand it over. ]

Yan Qing was surprised. He was being cooperative this time? Without complaints? The devil himself was changing his nature?

And then the next message arrived.

[ Yunshen: Underneath your makeup box, I prepared five other smartphones for you. When they are all taken away, I’ll bring some more over. ]
