Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Cheng Yi, I miss you a lot.

"Do you really like Xinan that much?" Lin Wei tried hard to look up and meet Cheng Yi’s gaze.

"Yes." Cheng Yi answered crisply.

Lin Wei chuckled softly, slowly lowering her head as if talking to herself, "I should have known. You only have Xinan in your heart. No matter what she does, you will always stand by her side without hesitation."

"Good to know." Cheng Yi unlocked Lin Wei’s phone, and when he saw it required a screen-lock password, his brows furrowed slightly, "What’s the password?"

"Your birthday."

Cheng Yi’s hand paused for a moment, then he turned off the phone screen, "You know what you need to do next, right?"

Without waiting for Lin Wei to reply, Cheng Yi turned and walked out of the hospital room. Ye Rui followed him out, closing the door behind them.

Lin Wei collapsed on the bed, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses. By then, Cheng Yi was long gone from the room.

What he meant when he left was for her to post a clarification statement online for Xinan. If she didn’t, the next day the internet might be flooded with videos of her and President Zhang.

Lin Wei felt like her head was stuffed with something, the pain unbearable.

"Ah!" she screamed, but in the end, she was only met with endless pain and helplessness.

Why treat her this way, why every time she felt life was getting better, someone would shatter her beautiful illusions and drag her back to the hell she never wanted to touch in her lifetime.

And that person was the one she loved the most—how ridiculous...

She wasn’t willing to accept it, not willing at all!

She had already tried so hard, she had tried so hard to change her life, and she had succeeded, so why couldn’t she escape the fate of being abandoned?

Lin Wei felt a familiar yet foreign rush of heat coursing through her body, the agony almost engulfing her.

Desperate, she lay on the bed, tears of unwillingness streaming down...

In the car, Cheng Yi took out Lin Wei’s phone and entered his own birthday as the password. The screen-lock clicked open.

Cheng Yi went into the gallery and quickly found the unedited original video. He transferred the video to his own phone, then deleted the original folder, and handed Lin Wei’s phone to Ye Rui, "Dispose of this."

"Okay, Mr. Yi."

Cheng Yi closed the car window and leaned back in his seat, closing his eyes to rest.

Three days later, Xinan’s name was once again pushed to the top of the trending searches. Just as she was about to surf the internet after applying a facial mask, she was shocked to see her name among the top trends.

In a second, Xinan quickly reviewed what she had done recently that could have triggered the trending, wondering if the reporters had caught her with Cheng Yi.

With a nervous heart, Xinan clicked on the trending topic, and the same video from before appeared.

After watching it, Xinan realized this was not the same as the previous one; this was the complete video.

Xinan clicked on the profile of the person who posted this video. Other than this video, there was nothing else—it was clearly a newly created account.

Who could have posted it? Could it be the person who posted the previous video had a change of heart and created a new account just to post the full video?

But she dismissed that thought soon enough, as the person who took so much effort to edit that video clip was trying to bring her down, so there was no way they would post the full video.

Could it be Cheng Yi? Xinan was startled by her own thought.

But soon, she felt this wasn’t just her overthinking because the username of the poster was too much like Cheng Yi’s style.

Just a period and no superfluous words.

A chill went down Xinan’s spine, and she became more certain it was Cheng Yi.

She glanced through the comments section. Finally, it wasn’t just people vilifying her anymore. Some people had started speaking up for her, and there were also real fans of Xinan managing the comments.

"So that’s the whole story. That slap Shen Yan got was not unjust."

"I knew it, Nannan isn’t the kind of celebrity who would just hit someone for no reason. I’ve felt so bad for her these past few days."

"Yeah, just look how horribly she was bashed before!"

"But even so, it doesn’t prove that she has nothing to do with Shen Yan’s death."

"..."

Seeing these comments, Xinan felt much calmer than before. She exited Weibo and opened her contacts, Cheng Yi’s number at the very top.

Soon, he picked up, "Calling me so late, do you miss me?"

Xinan curled her lips and got straight to the point, "Was it you who posted that video online?"

Xinan heard Cheng Yi chuckle softly, his tone a bit nonchalant, "You found out, huh~"

"Yes, where did you get that video?"

Cheng Yi feigned mystery, "You’ll know in a moment."

"What?" Xinan was confused.

"Go check Weibo again; there’s a surprise."

Xinan didn’t hang up, following his instruction to check Weibo again. Indeed, the video that was just trending had now moved to second place, and the top trending was Lin Wei’s explanatory statement.

Xinan clicked on Lin Wei’s Weibo, and to her surprise, Lin Wei had tagged her and written a long apology.

Xinan briefly glanced through it; it turned out the edited video was originally posted by Lin Wei.

After a moment of silence, Xinan asked, "How did you know that video was posted by Lin Wei?"

"That was easy," Cheng Yi laughed, "I had someone check her IP address, followed the leads, and traced it back to her."

Hearing Cheng Yi’s explanation, Xinan had an epiphany. Everything was traceable; no wonder all her endorsements went to Lin Wei after that video exploded. Looking back, it was truly horrifying.

Xinan asked, "Why... why are you so good to me?"

There was silence on the other end for a few seconds before he laughed softly, "Dummy, if I’m not good to you, who would I be good to?"

His voice was very gentle, as if it could soothe her.

Xinan felt a surge of emotion. She held her phone tighter; it seemed that since this incident happened, Cheng Yi had always been by her side, with no doubts or questions, just silently supporting her in every decision and action, even including solving all the trouble around her.

Xinan’s cheeks heated slightly, her voice trembling as she spoke, "Cheng Yi, I really miss you right now."

"What?" Cheng Yi sounded incredulous.

"Cheng Yi, I said I really miss you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xinan heard the sound of clothes rustling on the other end and Cheng Yi’s somewhat urgent voice, "Wait for me, I’m coming right now."
