Ji Xizhi slightly raised her head and looked at the person placing the slippers.

Fang Yuliang was standing right next to her, and it was he who had pulled the slippers out of his bag.

Noticing Ji Xizhi’s gaze, he said, “They’re new, and they’ve also been washed.”

“Thank you,” Ji Xizhi thanked him and then slipped her feet into the slippers. “You always carry slippers with you, nice. I’ll bring a pair next time too.”

Fang Yuliang didn’t deny it, only responded with a light nod and said nothing more.

It was Feng Qin who couldn’t wait to speak, “It’s not like he always carries these around…”

But his words were interrupted by a glance from Fang Yuliang.

Feng Qin pouted.

He wanted to say, who would carry such cute slippers around? It was obvious that his uncle had bought them on the spot, washed them in the restroom, dried them, and then brought them out.

Feng Qin’s words were cut off, yet he didn’t say anything more.

However, Qi Zheng, who was standing nearby, chuckled.

Qi Zheng winked at Fang Yuliang, “Carrying bunny ear slippers, huh? Quite thoughtful!”

Ji Tingzhou, who usually didn’t speak much, objectively commented this time: “This area is indeed a bit deserted, but there seems to be a good piece of land nearby. Are you interested in discussing it, Young Master Feng?”

Upon hearing this, Feng Qin’s eyes lit up, “With Mr. Ji inviting, of course, I’m interested! But I haven’t taken over the family business yet, so I’m not familiar with these, but my dad would definitely be interested!”

Although Feng Qin didn’t want to take over the family business systematically, he learned what he needed by the age of eighteen, and with Ji Tingzhou proactively inviting him, he naturally wouldn’t refuse.

The group stood together chatting, blending with the discussions around them.

Once Ji Xizhi had put on the slippers, Xiao Yuan had just arrived, coincidentally as the police cars were nearly at the door.

As the one who called the police, Ji Xizhi adeptly went to meet them.

The red carpet event of the Fashion Night inevitably ended with a visit to the police station.

There were many onlookers, but not many had to go to the station to give statements.

The ambulance had taken away Ji Yezong, and among the rest, apart from Ji Fengyuan, most drove themselves to the station.

The “melon vendors” had all dispersed.

The gossiping onlookers had no reason to stay at the red carpet scene anymore.

All the celebrities left one after another, and those paparazzi who intended to follow the celebrities to chase hot topics also gave up when faced with Ji Fengyuan’s big scandal.

Stop fooling around; ten celebrity gossip stories together wouldn’t compare to the magnitude of Ji Fengyuan’s alone!

Better hurry back to grab the headlines!

On the way to the police station, Ji Xizhi noticed the trending topics on social media had already exploded.

Guatian You Xia V: Fashion Night’s big scoop! Ji Fengyuan went crazy proposing to Ji Xizhi and failed, resorting to cursing!

Songgua Ruhui V: The movie star and also CEO of Ji Group, Ji Fengyuan, may be implicated in illegal activities!

Redian Wifi Lian Wo Jia V: Ji Fengyuan was a hero trying to rescue Ji Xizhi but ended up humiliated?!

GuaGuaGua V: The CP of Ji Fengyuan and Zhong Yulu might be heading for splitsville! Can you still ship them?

Top GuaGua V: Ji Fengyuan and Zhong Yulu’s CP fans are in luck; their “head-to-head sewing machine” supertopic is officially launched!

Expired Guas V: It is reported that Ji Fengyuan had already been removed from his position as CEO of the Ji Group days ago!

Cha V: Anyone who doesn’t believe Ji Xizhi always lands in the police station wherever she goes, step forward!

…

Various media outlets were racking their brains to come up with headlines.

Apart from Ji Fengyuan, Ji Xizhi, and Zhong Yulu trending headlines, there were also many bizarre ones like #Qi Zheng’s mouth lend me to scold a bit#, #Ji Tingzhou’s money lend me to spend some#, #Where to buy Fang Yuliang’s slippers, is there a link?#, and so on.

At first, Ji Fengyuan’s fans started to argue back.

[What nonsense are you talking! Be careful my brother sues you for slander!!!]

[No pictures at all, are you just making this up? Do you need to go in groups to slander my brother?]

[Even if you’re going to slander, at least make it a bit realistic. My brother wasn’t even at the red carpet. Do you even know his current status?!]

Later on, more and more blurry photos of Ji Fengyuan appearing at the Fashion Night emerged from the gossip crowd.

More people acquired first-hand gossip.

Many people witnessed it firsthand that night.

Among them were not just the celebs on the red carpet, but also assistants, staff, paparazzi, cleaners… people from nearly every field claimed the gossip was true.

Even Ji Fengyuan’s fans couldn’t deceive themselves to believe anymore.

One person or even a group might be lying.

But what sort of event would require so many people from various backgrounds to collectively smear Ji Fengyuan?

Ji Fengyuan’s reputation on the whole network began to plummet.

Only a small group of die-hard fans remained steadfast.

But that remnant of die-hard fandom, after seeing the blue-on-white notice, was completely disappointed too.

–

When Ji Xizhi and the group emerged from the police station, it was already late at night.

The black night was thick, the sky was starless, leaving only a ridiculously round moon to illuminate the earth.

Qi Zheng, Ji Tingzhou, and Fang Yuliang were the first to come out, waiting by their cars.

None of the three believed Ji Xizhi’s theory about the scam, yet none of them questioned or doubted aloud.

When Ji Xizhi and Xiao Yuan emerged from the police station.

Everyone turned to look at Ji Xizhi in unison.

Yet no one spoke for a moment.

Finally, Qi Zheng broke the silence.

Qi Zheng smiled, “Xiao Yuan is here too, probably won’t need me then, how about we disperse and head home?”

Seeing this, Ji Tingzhou also turned to Ji Xizhi, showing a faint smile: “If you need an agency, I hope Deep Sea Interactive Entertainment will be your first choice. The contract Deep Sea Interactive Entertainment has prepared for you will also be the first.”

Fang Yuliang’s words were even more succinct: “Reach out anytime you need help. See you when the semester starts.”

Feng Qin chimed in, “Well, Teacher Ji, our collaboration continues, let’s keep in touch!”

Ji Xizhi responded with a simple “Okay.”

Various cars left from the police station entrance.

Ji Xizhi was the last to get in a car and leave. As she opened the car door, Xiao Yuan was still muttering.

“Sister Zhi Zhi, why have you been so unlucky this year, always ending up in the police station? No, I have to think of something!”

“I heard from Ah Lu that her grandmother’s hometown has this certain kind of mugwort; burn it to drive away bad luck!”

Ji Xizhi just felt Xiao Yuan’s voice getting more distant as she looked up at the full moon.

The full moon suddenly showed a crack.

The bright yellow moon, like it had been shattered, spread countless fissures; the cracks grew larger until it completely broke apart.

It’s as if time and space were paused for a moment, and in the air appeared a line of bright yellow words.

“Shackles lifted, rain clears to sunshine.”

Calmly, Ji Xizhi watched the moon fragments fall.

The “drip drip” of rain struck the glass on the car window.

Xiao Yuan’s voice came from afar.

“This weekend I’ll smoke out the entire house, then hire you a few bodyguards! They’ll protect you wherever you go!”

Accompanied by Xiao Yuan’s voice, Ji Xizhi’s phone also started buzzing with messages.

“How are you? Are you okay? I’ll come see you tomorrow!”

“What’s with your work, why so much trouble? School starts soon, just stay at school!”

“Did you make it home yet? I’m waiting in front of your house!”

“All the intellectuals are always with you! We super-duper spirally love you~”

…

There were friends, mentors, and fans.

These people were like the droplets flowing down the car window, converging on Ji Xizhi’s heart.

Ji Xizhi thought,

After the rain, there’s not just sunshine, but also rainbows.
