Chapter 591: Chapter 591: She’s Just a Genius at Taking Time Off
Ling Qingxue glared at Shi Yiqing, accusing her, "Do you have any idea that if it weren’t for me, what would have been caught on camera right now would be the two of you rolling in the sheets?"
When Quan Sicheng heard this, his expression darkened.
The look he gave Shi Yiqing then was filled with disgust.
When he was willing to tolerate Shi Yiqing, naturally, she could do no wrong.
Once he became unwilling, even if she were faultless, he could find faults in her.
Especially since...
In his view, Shi Yiqing had indeed made mistakes.
The reporters, watching the exchanges between the three, had more or less figured things out.
Looking at them, they each revealed a knowing smile.
Watching the reporters leave one after the other, Shi Yiqing suddenly had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach.
Her first reaction was to want to stop them.
But if she could have stopped them, she wouldn’t be in this situation now, would she?
...
Although Quan Sicheng wasn’t exactly top-tier in the entertainment industry, he had certainly made a name for himself.
He didn’t earn his influencer status for nothing.
As a result, when the news exploded online that Quan Sicheng, this rising star in traffic, was spotted in a hotel tangled up with two women, it quickly hit the trending searches.
The trending searches became instantly explosive.
A flood of discussions emerged about Quan Sicheng and the relationships with the two main female characters.
"If I haven’t misunderstood, Quan Sicheng and the ice queen are in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, but the one who booked a room with him is his fiancée?"
"This love triangle is bloody hilarious."
"Who’s the real girlfriend?"
"I just realized there’s a PR trick here! If you reveal that your idol has a girlfriend, everyone can’t accept it. But, if you reveal at the same time that your idol’s girlfriend and fiancée both exist, the focus won’t be on the fact that he has a partner."
"I’m unfollowing, unfollowing."
Shi Yaoguang looked at these messages and curved her lips.
This was something Quan Sicheng would have to busily deal with again.
But she figured he probably wouldn’t mind.
Because...
Even if he wanted to mind, he didn’t have the time for it anymore.
Love triangles are just that troublesome.
Just as Shi Yaoguang thought, the storm that erupted due to the girlfriend and fiancée lasted an entire week.
During that week, public opinion kept flipping.
The only constant was his role as the male lead at the center of it all.
Now, there were three factions of voters online.
First.
The ones on the girlfriend Ling Qingxue’s side believed that since she was currently dating Quan Sicheng, her catching him cheating was justified and logical.
In short, backing the current partner was never wrong.
Second.
Those on the fiancée Shi Yiqing’s side.
The reason one is called a fiancée is because of an engagement with Quan Sicheng.
Compared to Ling Qingxue who wasn’t engaged, Shi Yiqing’s status was naturally somewhat more significant.
If it wasn’t significant, she wouldn’t be engaged to Quan Sicheng in the first place.
Third, there were the pure girlfriend fans.
What was the psychology of a girlfriend fan smitten with her idol?
Isn’t it about imagining him as her own boyfriend?
When the "boyfriend" was really in a relationship, but the girlfriend wasn’t them, which girlfriend fan could tolerate that?
Wouldn’t they just have to unfollow?
It’s only the neutral bystanders who could see more clearly.
They thought there was something wrong with Quan Sicheng’s character.
If there wasn’t, he wouldn’t be two-timing in the first place.
No matter what, seeing an ex while you have a current girlfriend is not something a decent partner should do.
Besides...
The place of the meeting was the suggestive setting of a hotel.
Who would believe there wasn’t something fishy about it?
For Quan Sicheng, this was a real headache.
Instead of resolving the issue with Shi Yiqing, he had somehow provoked another bewildering woman.
After the hotel incident, he tried to get in touch with Ling Qingxue.
But he had no idea who Ling Qingxue was, so even if he wanted to contact her, he couldn’t.
Ling Qingxue didn’t reach out to him either, which caused the problem to become a deadlock from the start.
Speaking of Ling Qingxue...
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to contact Quan Sicheng, she just didn’t have the time.
Recently, an experimental project she was involved in had entered the preparation stage.
This was a project she valued highly, and it was also one of the tasks issued by the Top Student Counterattack System.
Apart from the weird task of wooing Quan Sicheng, the System had no other issues.
Besides the mission to charm her boyfriend, all other tasks were aimed at evolving from a top student to a scholastic deity.
Ling Qingxue had been completely absorbed in this project lately, with no time to think about anything else.
...
Although Shi Yaoguang was a freshman at Emperor University, she had taken a leave of absence as soon as the school year started.
The reason her leave was approved was that she had perfectly answered the content that would be tested in the final exam.
In other words, she had mastered all of the first-year knowledge right at the beginning of her college life.
Especially with Professor Lin and Senior Quan Jinbei’s recommendation, almost all the professors at the university knew there was such a prodigious student on campus.
For this reason, Emperor University specially opened eligibility for their upcoming competition, not just limiting participation to third- and fourth-year students.
Even freshmen like Shi Yaoguang were allowed to join.
At the end of every term, Emperor University held a competition.
The competition covered various areas, from debate to experimentation, and was quite diverse.
No matter which field you were interested in, you could find it on the competition’s roster.
Having been the university’s beauty queen for three years, many people knew that Ling Qingxue was an academic overachiever.
However, apart from her performance in the student council, she had no other notable achievements.
This competition was the opportunity she wanted to seize.
For that, she couldn’t even care about Quan Sicheng and just wanted to make a splash in this competition.
To become the number one belle and academic goddess of Emperor University.
Those who could get into Emperor University were undoubtedly top students.
But even among top students, there were differences.
She aimed to be the academic deity towering above all other top students.
Shi Yaoguang, however, had no idea how hard Ling Qingxue was striving for this competition.
She personally had no desire to participate in the school’s contest.
After all...
With her experience, participating with any work would be somewhat... cheating.
It was like, someone who had gone to university, taking an exam for kindergarten.
You tell me, would the results of that exam count as cheating?
Shi Yaoguang had no intention of participating, but there were people here who wanted her to.
The biannual competition of Emperor University had just entered the registration phase, and there appeared many posts on the school forum.
Some were recruitment posts from those who had already signed up, and others were gossip threads.
Even top students have a love for gossip.
Who doesn’t want to know who the uncrowned king of Emperor University will be this term?
All of this, in theory, was unrelated to Shi Yaoguang.
After all, she was just a remarkably inconspicuous leave-taking prodigy, right?
Except for the initial military training, she was seldom seen at the school afterward.
If someone hadn’t suddenly badmouthed her at the school, and this wasn’t spotted by her peers who had gone through the military training with her and told her about it, she really wouldn’t have considered participating.
