Chapter 280

“Oh my god. Brother Qi, have you fallen into a garbage can?!”

Ning Ye chuckled, “Young master Luo accidentally got some stains on him. Fu Siying’s fans harmed young master Qi but young master Luo looks far worse than young master Qi.”

“Uncle Ning, go get the car washed.” Qi Yusen ordered.

Qiao Qing saw how stinky of an expression he had and figured that something unpleasant must’ve happened between those two.

She explained, “Brother, don’t be angry. Luo Chen got himself in a difficult position because he was protecting me.”

Qi Yusen was surprised by this and the hard feelings he felt evaporated, “Hmm, I’m not angry.”

Mu Jinghang snorted, “Some people are just higher on the food chain. Both third brother and brother Qi are like a different person before Qingqing.”

“Oh, wait, where’s that shadow of yours? The guy named Lang Yin. Isn’t he always hiding in the dark or in a corner? How come this time, that husky Luo Chen was protecting you?”

Qiao Qing, “I sent him back to the City of Brisk.”

Mu Jinghang, “Why did you do that?”

Qiao Qing ignored him.

Just then, someone’s cell phone began to vibrate and receive notifications.

“****, are we getting an amber alert?!” Mu Jinghang shuddered. Then, he said casually, “It’s exploding, isn’t it? I knew she’d get spit on, on Weibo!”

Qiao Qing, “Turn your phone to silent.”

Lin Xiyan nodded, “Right away.”

Qiao Qing, “Don’t read any of the comments they leave you.”

Lin Xiyan, “Qingqing, don’t worry. I’m very mentally strong.”

Qiao Qing smiled and patted her head.

Lin Xiyan habitually leaned into Qiao Qing’s palm. Suddenly, she felt a shudder down her spine.

She turned and met Jun Yexuan’s unfriendly gaze.

Qiao Qing glared at Jun Yexuan, then guided Lin Xiyan into the living room.

Mu Jinghang made a face, “My brother, you get jealous over girls too?”

Jun Yexuan threw him a look, “Get out of here.”

Mu Jinghang, “...”

After the group went into the living room, Luo Chen came over refreshed. His hair was still wet – obviously, he had just showered.

“Qingqing, are we not going to military training today then?”

Qiao Qing said, “Yeah, we need today. Go on Weibo and pay attention to how things are playing out.”

Then, she went to grab a laptop and began to edit videos.

Luo Chen got on Weibo, “What the hell! You’re trending! Huh? Xiyan, you got an account? You already have 3 million fan? How beast are you?”

He followed her. When he clicked into her account, he choked.

“Xiyan... uh, hahaha... don’t go on your Weibo. You may get high blood pressure from it. All of your followers are haters.”

Lin Xiyan, “...”

Mu Jinghang laughed until his stomach hurt, “I told you!”

Luo Chen scrolled and refreshed his page, “Before, it was just the book fans and Fu Siying’s fans cursing at you. Now, actor Bai and actor Yi’s fans joined the party. You really got the entire entertainment industry against you the moment you stepped your foot into it. You truly are an overnight sensation!”

Lin Xiyan rolled her eyes at him, “You’re taking pleasure in someone else’s pain?”

“No.” Though Luo Chen denied, he was smiling so wide his teeth were showing.

Different from him, Qi Rui had a face full of worry, “What do we do now? She still needs to go to class.”

Luo Chen, “Qingqing must have a way.”

Nobody knows when it happened, but both Luo Chen and Lin Xiyan had started treating Qiao Qing as their spine.

No matter what misfortune happened, as long as she was here, they felt safe.

Just then, the sound of footsteps from upstairs arose.
