Chapter 451: Perhaps It’s Because of Love?

Qin Shuang did not want to expose her identity so soon, but she felt that it was not good to lie to her friends. She knew that these people would not believe her even if she said it, so she did not worry after sending the message.

As expected, there was a reaction in the group.

“Cold as the wind”: “Have you undergone plastic surgery? This joke is not funny at all!”

“I have to get involved with Cen Bai and Huaxia”: “Damn, since you’ve admitted it, I’ll be frank too. Actually, I’m Cen Bai’s wife. It’s too tiring to pretend to be only his wife-fan.”

“Cold as the wind”: “Early. We still remember asking you if you wanted to meet irl back then. You said you didn’t want to meet because you were afraid that you would be deemed ugly. If you had Qin Shuang’s face, wouldn’t you have gone to meet your idol long ago?! Why would you be afraid that your idol would ignore you?!”

“I have to get involved with Cen Bai and Huaxia”: “You must have felt the danger because Qin Shuang was too beautiful. You can make it!”

…

Just as Qin Shuang was about to reply and tease them, a staff beside her started shouting, “Alright, alright. You’re not allowed to go online anymore. Turn in your phone!”

She did not look at the messages in the group and handed her phone over.

These private interactions were also recorded. They were uploaded on the Internet as a teaser to promote The Most Beautiful Girl.

At the same time, after the class was split, they started the first round of public relations.

Everyone chose to form a team according to the class rankings. The team Qin Shuang joined was a dance team. There was a member of Class A called Xu Xinyao. As the leader, she got to occupy the center position.

After splitting up, everyone trained for a day. When it was night time, Xu Xinyao had just left when she saw that there was someone from her company outside.

The two of them dodged the camera and walked to the side.

Xu Xinyao was internally chosen by the production team of The Most Beautiful Girl. She was also supported by the company and definitely had a spot in the industry. It was expected that she would get in first or second.

The people in the company had given her a tough persona. At this moment, the company staff reminded her, “Be careful of Qin Shuang.”

Xu Xinyao did not mind. “What can she do? My votes are definitely high.”

The company staff said softly, “Ever since Cen Bai posted that Weibo post, Cen Bai’s fans have been trending. Now, the number of people supporting her is almost catching up to yours! You guys are in the same group. If she steals all the limelight, how are you going to debut?”

Xu Xinyao paused and bit her lip. “How shameless, hyping herself up!”

The staff said, “But you don’t have to worry. Her actions have also given us a chance to turn things around. Just practice well. Remember to not make her too eye-catching when you distribute dance moves for her. We will handle the rest!”

Xu Xinyao’s eyes flickered.

Everyone was smart. She understood what to do with the staff’s words and nodded.

…

…

Qin Shuang entered intense training again.

After lunch, Xue Xi followed Xiang Huai to the crime scene. In the afternoon, the two of them separated. Xiang Huai was not as free as Xue Xi had imagined. He had a lot of work to do and had rushed to the school as soon as the incident happened. He was afraid that Xue Xi would have some trauma in her heart.

Now that he realized that the little kid’s heart was very strong, he went back.

After this incident, the school gave the students who saw what happened a day off to adjust their mood, so the afternoon classes were canceled.

She stayed in the library for the whole afternoon. When she returned to the dormitory after dinner, she realized that Li Zixia and Xie Yingying had returned from the psychological counseling office.

At this moment, Xie Yingying was infatuated with Ji Silin. “Sister Xi, do you know? The queue for the psychiatrist this afternoon is too long! Everyone is just going to look at someone handsome! I don’t think they need to do any counseling. Don’t they simply like looking at handsome guys?”

Xue Xi: “…”

Just as she was about to say something, Li Zixia suddenly said, “Damn! Big news!”

The others turned their heads in unison and saw Li Zixia say, “Sister Xi, have you seen The Most Beautiful Girl? Didn’t Cen Bai post on Weibo to speak up for Qin Shuang? After that, the number of people supporting Qin Shuang increased rapidly and she was about to surpass Xu Xinyao. I didn’t expect a huge reversal!”

Xue Xi: “?”

She, who had always been unconcerned about entertainment programs, took the initiative to ask, “What’s wrong?”

Li Zixia instantly walked up to her with her phone and said, “So Xu Xinyao is also Cen Bai’s fan. Moreover, she’s a veteran fan! Look at this interview!”

She played a private interview and Xu Xinyao said, “Actually, I like Mr. Cen Bai a lot too, but I don’t dare to say it because I’m afraid that it’ll cause him trouble. I’ve liked him for many years and have always liked him silently.”

The host asked, “What have you done for him?”

Xu Xinyao said, “I bought him a lot of gifts during events. Of course, I did it willingly!”

There was nothing much after this video.

Li Zixia said, “Then I’ll go on Weibo to watch some more tidbits. From the beginning, Cen Bai has had a single oldest fan, and that is Early! It’s said that she’s a rich second-generation heir and has always been after Cen Bai. Moreover, the most important thing is this! Look at this video.”

The video was a private conversation played on the phone.

Coincidentally, it was about Xu Xinyao taking out her phone and logging into Weibo. After she typed seriously, she sent it out. She looked up and smiled at the person recording.

That person asked her, “What are you doing?”

Xu Xinyao said, “I was just joking with my old friends.”

The video ended there.

Xue Xi did not understand what this video meant, so Li Zixia explained, “Did you see the time when the video was recorded? Cen Bai’s fans said that they had already gone online at that time and said something in the group chat! Hence, they deduced that Xu Xinyao was Early all along! Now, Cen Bai’s fans are all in high spirits because the old fans all know that Cen Bai has been that person’s favorite since a long time ago! Everyone has seen everything that she has done for Cen Bai all these years! Hence, Xu Xinyao’s backing now far exceeds the rest! All of Cen Bai’s fans have fallen behind!”

Xue Xi: “?”

She frowned and pointed at Qin Shuang, who was hiding in the corner. “Did you see it?”

Li Zixia: “What?”

Xue Xi said, “At the same time, Qin Shuang also typed on her phone and sent something out. Just based from this, it’s a little too arbitrary to think that Xu Xinyao is that Early person. I even suspect that this person is actually Qin Shuang!”

Li Zixia: “?”

She looked at the video hesitantly. “No, Sister Xi, how did you know that the person at the back is Qin Shuang? It’s so blurry. How did you know?”

Xue Xi looked at her and hesitated for a moment before replying, “Perhaps it’s because of… love?”

Li Zixia: “?”

Xie Yingying: “?”

Li Zixia and Xie Yingying silently looked at each other and said, “Sister Xi, we’ve decided that we’ll support Qin Shuang from now on!”

Xue Xi: “…”

After playing around with the others for a while, Xue Xi switched on her computer.

She wanted to hack into the school’s system and retrieve the CCTV footage to see how Liu Zhao died.

The school’s system was controlled by someone from the Computer Department, but it was easy for her to hack into it. It was so open that it almost left a mark that X was here.

Then, she realized that the surveillance cameras on the top floor had been copied and destroyed locally.

Xue Xi: “…”

She was busy typing on the keyboard. She had never known that there would be a day when she would actually need to repair the surveillance cameras. It was only half an hour later when the surveillance cameras were repaired by her that she opened them.

Xue Xi’s pupils constricted when she saw the contents!
