Join the ServerIt was a full half hour before Ji Wenyan finally reached the rooftop.
Originally, he had only intended to prevent anyone from following him.
Unexpectedly, just as Ji Wenyan was about to leave the stadium, Zhou Qiang stopped him.
Zhou Qiang promptly expressed his desire to arrange an exclusive interview for Bai Mengze, believing it could swiftly turn her into an internet sensation, possibly even elevating her to celebrity status.
Ji Wenyan flatly refused.
Given Bai Mengze’s current state, it was ill-advised for her to become a public figure and draw attention. After all, her attributes had undergone such significant enhancement that her entire being had transformed immensely.
If Bai Mengze truly became a celebrity, changing day by day, it might even attract national scrutiny!
It would be better to wait until Bai Mengze’s condition stabilized before seeking her opinion.
Zhou Qiang had anticipated Ji Wenyan’s refusal, so he wasn’t particularly disappointed.
After all, the Ji family commanded vast influence and wealth, and likely had no desire for Bai Mengze to become a celebrity.
Although Gong Yingying had once been a starlet, it was precisely because of her experience that she understood the industry’s inherent darkness.
Zhou Qiang understood Ji Wenyan’s reluctance to let Bai Mengze follow the same path.
However, understanding was one thing; what was to be done about the audience in the livestream, who were still clamoring incessantly?
Alas, the worry was enough to make one’s hair fall out.
“My apologies, I was delayed for a bit. You must have been waiting anxiously!”
Upon Ji Wenyan’s arrival on the rooftop, Bai Mengze, having already changed her clothes, sat there quietly, gazing up at the sky alone.
A faint smile still lingered at the corners of her lips, and the trophy rested beside her.
The wind swept by, gently stirring the ends of her ponytail.
Time seemed to freeze, captured like a vibrant photograph that Ji Wenyan hung in a quiet corner of his heart.
“It’s fine, the breeze is quite nice! I was so nervous on stage just now that I felt like I couldn’t breathe.”
“Haha, you’ll get used to it! After today’s competition, you’re going to be a celebrity at school. Perhaps some little fanboys will come asking for your autograph!”
Though he didn’t wish to disturb the serene moment, Ji Wenyan’s appearance immediately drew Bai Mengze’s attention.
She turned her head to look at Ji Wenyan, her smile unwavering.
This prompted Ji Wenyan to walk over and settle beside her, intending to converse with Bai Mengze.
For some inexplicable reason, he simply desired to talk to her at that moment.
“I might not get used to being called out. How about I wear sunglasses and a hat to school tomorrow? And a mask, too, to hide myself completely.”
“If you do that, it’ll only make people more suspicious! It wouldn’t be good to be taken away and questioned by security again.”
“Hmm…”
The joy of winning had yet to fade, and Bai Mengze was far more lively than usual. This allowed Ji Wenyan to imagine that before her parents’ accident, she must have been an incredibly sweet and mischievous girl.
Exactly his type.
If he hadn’t been threatened by death, perhaps…
However, without a definitive answer, Ji Wenyan refrained from dwelling on such thoughts.
He had no desire to harm others, nor to harm himself.
Thus, he would diligently continue cultivating Bai Mengze’s attributes, ensuring no ill-intentioned individuals came to provoke her.
“Don’t worry, it’s just a temporary buzz. Once some news breaks about a celebrity having an affair, getting divorced, or being arrested for drug use, it will immediately overshadow the ‘Campus Belle Competition.'”
“Is that so…”
“Yes. Why, do you want to capitalize on this popularity to become a celebrity?”
“I don’t know. I want to avenge my parents, but with my current state, there’s nothing I can do to Liang Quan… Perhaps becoming a celebrity would offer a chance for revenge!”
As she spoke of avenging her parents, the smile on Bai Mengze’s face gradually faded.
Upon hearing her words, Ji Wenyan sensed the conflict in Bai Mengze’s voice: her confusion about the future and her deep-seated hatred for Liang Quan, which left her unsure of her next steps.
Ji Wenyan pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.
“Don’t worry, I’ll help you.”
