Love Variety Show: The despised me exploded in popularity

Especially when she heard Xu Qingyan speak so breezily, "People should return to their own life zones, believe in myself and command my fate... I just hope she can be at ease."

At that moment, Wen Yun felt her mind explode with a buzzing noise.

Not because she was moved or due to any other emotion, but because of panic and confusion.

She had been with Lin Wanzhou for many years, almost watching the young girl experience all sorts of trials, and knew all too well where the voids in Lin Wanzhou's heart were.

In the past, her temperamental mother had pushed her, often resorting to yelling, hitting, and crying, with a control that suffocated. But Mrs. Guan Jin wouldn't have been so anxious if her life hadn't been so fragile.

After Mrs. Guan Jin left this world, the young girl not only had no home but also no relatives anymore.

If Xu Qingyan had merely spouted some motivational platitudes, Wen Yun wouldn't have been so shockingly pale. She knew that Lin Wanzhou was outwardly soft but inwardly rigid, with a thick wall built early on in her heart.

But somehow, Xu Qingyan seemed to have viewed the answers in advance. Every word he spoke could almost hit the softest spot in the young girl's heart.

Wen Yun didn't even finish watching the interview; she felt her hairs stand on end and thought to herself that it was over.

This is bad; the cabbage is going to be scooped up.

The taxi was still en route, and she had originally planned to go home and get a good night's sleep today. Now she couldn't sleep; she had to confirm something first.

After some thought, Wen Yun dialed Lin Wanzhou's number.

[Hello, the user you dialed is currently on a call; please try again later... sorry, the subscriber you have dialed is busy now...]

Huh? On a call?

Wen Yun was about to erupt but wasn't sure who Lin Wanzhou was on the phone with. What if... no what if, she knew very well that Lin Wanzhou hardly had anyone to call.

Except! Xu Qingyan!

To be on the safe side, she decided to confirm it.

She called Qi Ting, and this time the call connected after a few seconds, with the voice of Qi Ting coming through.

"Hello, Sister Yun."

"What's Zhouzhou doing right now; why's her phone busy?" Wen Yun got straight to the point and asked, "Who is she on the phone with?"

"Ah? ...Ah haha, is Zhouzhou on a call with someone?" Qi Ting's voice sounded vaguely guilty and uncertain, "It seems like the internet, the home network suddenly went down."

Bullshit, Wen Yun's face turned displeased, but she didn't outright challenge the lie.

"I'm back at Xinghai, and I'm coming over to check on you guys now."

"Ah! That's great!" Qi Ting let out a strained laugh, "Then where are you, Sister Yun? I'll come down to meet you in a bit, why didn't you tell me to pick you up in advance?"

"I decided to come back on the spur of the moment, you wait at the apartment," Wen Yun didn't answer directly and simply hung up the phone.

On the other end, the apartment.

Qi Ting looked at the hung-up phone with a glum face, almost about to lose her mind.

Why did Sister Yun suddenly come back without any notice? Zhouzhou went to make a phone call just when she was caught in the crosshairs, hoping nothing goes wrong.

About twenty minutes later, Lin Wanzhou returned from the stairwell after finishing her call, seeming in good spirits.

She entered the door and, seeing Qi Ting's odd expression, couldn't help but ask.

"Ting Ting, what's wrong with you?"

"Sister Yun is back; she called Zhouzhou and got a busy signal," Qi Ting sighed, "She is probably worried and said she is coming here to check on us."

"Ah? But I'm supposed to go out with Xu Qingyan in a bit," Lin Wanzhou said.

"Where to?" Qi Ting immediately tensed up, "It's already nine o'clock, Zhouzhou."

Staying out all night was a big deal; she had reason to believe that if she didn't report it and Wen Yun found out later, she would definitely be grilled over the fire.

"To see the light show. There's a night market there; I should be back in about two hours," Lin Wanzhou said with a blank look, "around midnight. What's wrong?"

"Nothing really... but, Zhouzhou," Qi Ting felt she needed to warn her, "Sister Yun is going to come over in a bit; you might not be able to go today."

"No!" Lin Wanzhou's cheeks puffed slightly, and she turned her head away, whispering, "Ting Ting, please help me. You must have a way."

"Isn't tomorrow okay, Zhouzhou?" Qi Ting said with a bitter face; she couldn't help... what could she help with?

"It's too late; he's almost here," Lin Wanzhou lowered her gaze as if to ensure Qi Ting wasn't distressed enough, added, "He's already downstairs, in the elevator."

"I was planning to change my clothes and then go out."

"Don't, Zhouzhou!" Qi Ting was truly flabbergasted this time, too fast for her liking, "Sister Yun is about to arrive; maybe you can ask Teacher Xu to wait in the garage for a bit?"

"Okay, I'll tell him when he comes up," Lin Wanzhou wasn't unreasonable; she was just unsure how long Wen Yun would stay and couldn't help but sigh.

The interview had started at 7:50, and she had unexpectedly seen that part of the Q&A in the middle. She was stunned for a long time, her ears ringing.

After thinking it through, she felt that his words were more sincere and earnest than if they had been pulled out of her own heart.

Some words don't need to be spoken much, but at that moment, Lin Wanzhou truly felt the other party's good intentions, different from the kindness among friends, unclear and hazy.

She knew that Xu Qingyan usually said nothing, nor did he mention the past. Even when she occasionally brought it up, Xu Qingyan would just lightly brush it aside with a few words.

Yet in the end, he understood her worries; he didn't want her to always be trapped in the past, searching repeatedly, standing in a timeline that wasn't her own to prove herself.

Without finishing the interview, she couldn't help but call Xu Qingyan. They chatted and ended up having a lengthy conversation. He seemed to be home alone playing games, with continuous keyboard sounds.
