Chapter Thirty: Trending Topics

Wei Heng paid no mind to Lu Wenchuan's reaction and even laughed aloud. "I watched the livestream," he said.
"You still have some thoughts about that girl, don't you?"
Qi Bin felt these were words he shouldn't be hearing, so he quietly moved farther away.
Wei Heng caught sight of him, raised a brow and smiled, beckoning him with a finger. Qi Bin returned to his seat, feeling rather stifled.
"It has nothing to do with you," Lu Wenchuan's brows furrowed deeply. "Did you call just to talk about this?"
"No," Wei Heng's tone grew serious. "All the information you asked me to look up has been sent to your email."
"I'm just reminding you to check it."
Lu Wenchuan grunted in reply and hung up.
"Tsk, use a person and then toss them aside," Wei Heng listened to the busy tone, shaking his head as he casually set his phone down on the table.
They were still at Baishan Hotel, in Wei Heng's private suite.
"Why do you keep going over every time?" Qi Bin had met Lu Wenchuan and Wei Heng later on, and after a few years together, their relationship wasn't particularly close nor distant. He couldn't quite describe how he felt about it all.
Wei Heng scoffed, "Isn't it because I owe him?"
Qi Bin knew he was referring to the incident from last time. He rubbed his nose awkwardly. "You were young then, didn't understand. Brother Lu surely wouldn't blame you."
"It was my father who harmed him." Wei Heng's voice suddenly dropped. He picked up the bottle of liquor from the table and took a large gulp without even glancing at it.
The fiery spirit hit him hard, making him dizzy for a moment, but he quickly sobered. "His parents were ruined by my family too."
Qi Bin fell silent.

After taking Sang Yijia's pulse, Zhang Mingyang determined she was fine and didn't prescribe any medicine, only advised her to drink more hot water and sleep early.
It was getting late. Zhang Mingyang and Zhuang Fei had rushed straight over, barely pausing to rest. Now they had to go out and find a place to stay.
As luck would have it, Yan Ningsi came downstairs and spotted them at once. Her gaze immediately fixed on Zhuang Fei, and her eyes lit up.
Not only did Sang Yijia notice, Zhang Mingyang did too—only Zhuang Fei remained oblivious.
"Jiajia, what's going on?" Yan Ningsi coughed twice, trying to compose herself, but kept sneaking glances at Zhuang Fei—her intentions were all too clear.
Zhuang Fei noticed, but didn't think much of it, simply explaining, "We're Miss Sang's family doctors."
"Oh, hello, hello!" Yan Ningsi extended her hand. "What's your name?"
"I'm Yan Ningsi, twenty-one years old, Aries, height one-sixty-five. How about that?"
Zhuang Fei: "???"
【?????】
【Is this a live matchmaking session?】

【Hehe, someone’s being cuckolded here.】
【Haha, Ningsi is really bold!】
【Did she forget she's on a livestream?】
Sang Yijia was stunned. According to the original storyline, Yan Ningsi should have liked Bian He, so why was she suddenly interested in Zhuang Fei?
"Um, I'm Zhuang Fei, twenty-five, Taurus, height about one-eighty-three. Haven't measured in a while," Zhuang Fei replied, awkward but honest.
He added, "Miss Yan, you have a rather unique way of making friends."
He'd never seen anyone lay all their personal information out so abruptly—he was a little taken aback.
"So what are your measurements?" Yan Ningsi didn't answer his question, instead eyeing his physique up and down, almost whistling. Sang Yijia couldn't stand it any longer and quickly covered her mouth.
The audience in the livestream went wild.
【Ningsi is definitely interested in him!】
【Suddenly looking forward to this—what's happening?】
【Haha, same here.】
【Zhuang Fei seems so soft and cute.】
【Exactly, like an obedient puppy, so adorable!】
"Hey, mind your manners," Sang Yijia hadn't expected Yan Ningsi to actually ask such a question and was caught off guard, unsure what to say.
Yan Ningsi pouted, "I'm just asking, that's all."
"Miss Sang, Miss Yan, we have things to attend to, so we won't disturb you," Zhang Mingyang stepped in to shift the topic.
"Alright, take care," Sang Yijia nodded, watching them leave.
Yan Ningsi clung to Sang Yijia's hand, refusing to let go. "Jiajia, does Zhuang Fei have a girlfriend?"
"We're still filming the show," Sang Yijia reminded her. "Your boyfriend is Bian He."
"That's fine, once the show ends, I won't have one," Yan Ningsi replied. She never considered Bian He her real boyfriend—it was just acting.
No need to take it seriously; taking it seriously would be boring.
Sang Yijia massaged her forehead. "Alright."
"I don't know much about him, but I can ask for you," Sang Yijia offered.
Yan Ningsi giggled, "I just think he's so cute, like a soft little bun."
"???" Sang Yijia didn't share the sentiment—she wasn't even sure what 'soft little bun' meant.
"But, Jiajia, are you alright?" Yan Ningsi, whose family had their own doctors, didn't find it odd that Sang Yijia had family doctors, and didn't think much of it.
Sang Yijia shook her head, "I'm fine, already taken my medicine."

"I'll be fine after some sleep," she said.
"Alright, I won't disturb your rest then," Yan Ningsi escorted Sang Yijia to her door, waved goodnight, and couldn't help but add, "Jiajia, could you help me get his contact info?"
"Just for Zhuang Fei."
Sang Yijia: "..."
The livestream audience was barely holding back their laughter.
【Ningsi is so direct—just goes straight for what she wants.】
【Bian He is so pitiful, still singing in his room.】
【Let's go, let's go, let's warn him.】
A crowd left the livestream in droves, rushing over to Bian He's channel.
Bian He had just finished singing, about to ask the viewers what they'd like to hear next, when he looked up and saw the barrage of green messages.
?????
"What's going on?" Bian He was baffled, reading the comments.
【Bian He, your Ningsi is about to run off with someone else.】
【Yeah, she even asked that guy about his measurements!】
【Come on, or you'll lose your girlfriend!】
Bian He couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. It was just a dating show, all acting, none of them took it seriously—but the viewers did.
"Alright, alright, I'll try my best." Bian He still had no idea what exactly had happened, but since he learned those two were Sang Yijia's family doctors, his brows arched—he seemed to have an inkling, but didn't say anything on the stream.
Meanwhile, Shen Jin and Lan Qing returned, perfectly missing the scene of Sang Yijia's medical visit.
The audience breathed a sigh of relief.
【Thank goodness they didn't see.】
【Even if they did, brother wouldn't be heartbroken.】
【Brother and Qing Qing really are here for romance—it's so sweet!】
【It's more than that, it's sugar overload!】
Some viewers hadn't watched and didn't know what happened, but their curiosity was piqued.
And so...
That night’s trending topic was Shen Jin and Lan Qing’s dating reality show.
