Chapter 210: Chapter 210: The Messier the More Reasoning

Countless questions assaulted her, but Tico had never seen such a situation before. She panicked and completely forgot everything Yang Yu had taught her the day before,

"All those rumors are fake. My relationship with Yang Yu is nothing more than that of an ordinary idol and a fan."

As soon as her words ended, the group of journalists erupted,

"So, have you transitioned from an ordinary idol-fan relationship to a romantic one?"

"How long did it take you to realize your feelings?"

"The story between an idol and a fan should be about pursuit and being pursued. So, is Lady Tico the one being pursued, or the pursuer?"

Tico never imagined that her simple statement would mysteriously bring about a whole bunch of questions.

She tried to explain the situation calmly, but before she could even speak, the journalists bombarded her with a barrage of questions.

In the midst of the chaos, Tico finally remembered what Yang Yu had taught her.

——If you can’t handle it, then be silent, as silence is sometimes the best response.

In the current scenario, Tico didn’t even know where to begin to explain, so she simply shut her mouth and remained silent.

But there were always some who took Tico’s silence as an affirmation of the situation.

"We heard that Lady Tico is pregnant with Yang Yu’s child. Is that true? If you don’t answer, may we take that as a fact?"

"Child?" Hearing this word, Tico’s eyes widened in shock. She could never have imagined that in just one day, the rumors had evolved to this extent. She could no longer keep silent and blurted out with a flushed face, "How could that be possible? Having a child is... still too soon for us."

The journalists quickly scribbled in their notebooks, then posed a new question,

"So you’re saying that although Lady Tico and he have had deep yet superficial interactions, she has yet to bear his child?"

"Why has it come to this? Why has it become a matter where I must bear his child? Our relationship is truly pure!"

Several journalists looked enlightened, "So, Lady Tico doesn’t plan on having a child with him in the near future."

"Did you really listen to what I just said? Don’t twist my words!"

Tico yelled in anger, unable to comprehend why things had turned out this way, no matter how much she tried to explain, these journalists wouldn’t listen and twisted the meaning of her words.

In the eyes of these journalists, Tico’s agitation meant they were getting closer to what they called "the truth."

What they needed to do next was to find ways to make Tico talk as much as possible to gather as much information they could use as a template to write headlines-worthy news.

"Lady Tico, when exactly are you two getting married?"

Upon hearing this question, Tico finally reached her breaking point. She took a deep breath, turned, and ran to the window. Opening it, she used "Dancing in the Air" without looking back and flew away from the scene.

The journalists at the scene were stunned for a second, then exchanged glances and, one after another, used "Dancing in the Air" and perseveringly chased after her.

What should I do? Can I really not clear my name and his?

Must I marry him under the pressure of the rumors? Although I don’t dislike him, marrying him in this way feels strange in my heart and somewhat unacceptable.

True love should be about taking one step at a time, supporting each other, and walking together toward the hall of marriage, not being led by the nose by others.

Tico couldn’t imagine, if she were really forced by rumors to marry Yang Yu now, then what would await her in the future? Would she be forced by the pressure of rumors to divorce as well?

She simply couldn’t accept a life influenced by rumors.

Anyway, she should discuss it with her mother first... Wait, Yang Yu mentioned yesterday that talking to her mother could be tricky, and she might mess things up if she wasn’t careful.

She really should go see him. With that confident demeanor of his, he must have some solution.

After this incident, it was he who came to her and told her in person. If not for him, today she would have had no precautions and would have been even more clueless in her response, maybe even...

admitting to their relationship herself.

Right, she should go find him.

He must have some method.

When Tico arrived at Yang Yu’s dormitory, she found it surrounded by reporters who had come for an interview just as it had been for her.

Tico was the top prodigy of the Library, and information from her attracted more interest. But this was to be expected; even before Yang Yu entered the All Things Library, he had been a significant talking point, and his last two Martial Arts Exams further heated the discussions. The reporters were prepared to stake out for a good story.

If Tico’s significant other had been an ordinary young man, the buzz probably wouldn’t have been so great. But it just so happened that the Library’s two hot topics had collided, creating an unprecedented frenzy.

There were reporters who wanted to report the truth, but their voices were weak, and their articles were drowned out by the tide of excitement.

Between truth and interest, some still clung to the truth, but many more joined the merry-making for the sake of interest, all thinking about how to break the next big news story.

Tico knew that if she entered through the main entrance, she would inevitably be besieged by those reporters, so she had to choose a quicker way.

Although it meant paying a fine ten times the damage for destroying public property, to Tico, it was merely a small sum of money.

So, without hesitation, a Fireball appeared in her hand, and with a gentle push forward with her finger, the fireball shattered the window of Yang Yu’s room as she planned to whisk him away.

Watching Tico in a hurry trying to fly away with him, Yang Yu reached out and grabbed her hand, stopping her,

"Lady Tico, what on earth has happened? Why are you in such a rush? Could you first tell me what’s going on? I might be able to think of a solution."

Being treated this way, Yang Yu maintained his inner calm as best as he could, playing the role of Tico’s fan.

Tico looked around, appearing to have trouble speaking, but eventually, she told Yang Yu everything that had happened that morning.

Listening to Tico narrate the sequence of events, Yang Yu realized the severity of the problem.

What the hell? How did it develop into this mess in just one day?

From Tico’s description, it seemed they had taken for granted that he had already been intimate with Tico and had established a romantic relationship, only they had been secretive and unwilling to admit it.

The difficulty of dispelling the rumors had suddenly increased.

By this logic, would the severity of the rumors increase each day they were left unaddressed... Now it was known in the Library, but in a few days, perhaps the whole world would know...

When the time came to refute the rumors, how many would believe it?

Although he didn’t know what the outcome would be, if they continued to drag things out, he imagined they might end up bound to the Library, unable to travel and grow stronger.
