For Huang Xintian, being entrusted to Shang Qi's care by her family, then getting to appear on the same variety show as him, was everything she had ever dreamed of.
At last, she could be a little closer to him.
She never expected that she would also get him caught up in a dating rumor, becoming his rumored young girlfriend.
As soon as a forum post about their rumored relationship appeared, the comments were already in a frenzy.
"My man, has that old tree finally blossomed?"
"Oh my god, I'm so jealous. The top-tier star must really like his little girlfriend. He even went out in the middle of the night to buy her sanitary pads. Best dad-type boyfriend ever!"
"Dad-type? He's obviously an old bull eating young grass."
Huang Xintian gripped her phone tightly, growing more and more upset.
She didn't want to cause Shang Qi this kind of trouble.
Even if he had to deny it in public and tell everyone that he didn't like her, Huang Xintian still didn't want him hurt by the rumors.
She hurried to the study to find Shang Qi.
Shang Qi was leaning by the window, smoking. When she came in, he stubbed out the half-smoked cigarette between his fingers in the ashtray and opened the window to air out the smoke. "What's up?"
"Big Brother, have you seen that forum post about you and me?"
Shang Qi rested one hand on the windowsill. "Yeah. What about it?"
"They say you... they say you like me." Huang Xintian's face flushed as she stammered, "And they said..."
"That I'm an old bull eating young grass?" Shang Qi's thin lips parted as he replied with casual indifference.
Huang Xintian's eyes reddened with anxiety. "You're not!"
Her eyes were rimmed with red. A blush colored her porcelain-white cheeks, making them rosy and tempting to bite.
Suddenly, Shang Qi didn't want to behave like a decent person anymore.
He wanted to tease her, make her cry even harder, and make her softly beg for mercy, like a beast.
When he said nothing, Huang Xintian anxiously urged him again. "Hurry up and clear things up."
Shang Qi continued leaning lazily by the window, his expression cool and distant, as pristine as moonlight. Yet his languid, low voice was unexpectedly seductive. "What am I supposed to clear up? They're not wrong."
"I really do like you."

When Huang Xintian was sixteen, she fell for someone and thought he was an unreachable dream.
She never imagined that her dream would actually come true one day.
When she was twenty, she heard it with her own ears.
The person she had secretly loved for so, so long said it to her himself.
He liked her.
