She was ready to continue praising her idol when her friend suddenly interrupted, "Do you know who the other sugar daddies are?"

Li Xitong's brow furrowed so tightly that it seemed like she could squash a fly. She couldn't stand watching her friend fall into Yu Yuan's trap, so she quickly retorted, "Do you believe that Yu Yuan? Our Junyan said it himself—Jin Yan's luck turning around is all thanks to his ancestors' good deeds, not some sugar daddies. Don't just blindly follow along! You should really think about who said that stuff!"

"Yu Yuan! It's Yu Yuan, of all people!" She spoke with emphasis, trying to drive her point home. "Don't you know what kind of person Yu Yuan is?"

"..."

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone. Just as Li Xitong thought she had managed to convince her friend, she could almost hear them taking a deep breath before responding.

"I've been getting to know Jin Yan for the past month, and we've recently confirmed our relationship. I'm one of his sugar daddies."

"I'm one-fifth of his sugar daddy."

"Pffft..."

Li Xitong spat out her water, not even bothering to wipe her mouth. "What did you just say?"

But Jin Yan's a guy, and you're a guy too!

She screamed wildly in her mind.

It's not that she thought two guys couldn't fall in love, the problem was, this friend of hers had just broken up with his girlfriend—how did he suddenly change his s*xual orientation?

Her friend stayed silent, but from his ragged breath, Li Xitong could feel his inner conflict.

As a friend, she felt she needed to comfort him.

"Don't... don't listen to Yu Yuan talking nonsense. If you two are dating, then just date, hold hands if you want! Which celebrity doesn't have a sugar daddy behind them? Take Lu Jingxi, the image of a pure girl, isn't she tangled up with a few men behind the scenes? It's not..."

Realizing she was straying off-topic, she rubbed her messy hair and got to the point.

"Sorry... what I mean is, Jin Yan does have you as his sugar daddy, but there's no way it's like what Yu Yuan said, with five sugar daddies!"

She finished speaking and waited for her friend's response. This time, however, her friend stayed silent for even longer.

Just as Li Xitong thought he wasn't going to answer, she heard his painful voice through the phone.

"But, last night, I saw him enter a... a love hotel with a woman..."

Li Xitong: "..."

With a woman? A love hotel?

Man, rich people sure play hard!

She silently opened her mouth, not knowing how to comfort him anymore.

But on the other end, it seemed her friend found a vent for his emotions, dumping all his negative feelings about discovering Jin Yan's infidelity.

Li Xitong not only learned that Jin Yan was bi, but also that the woman he entered the love hotel with was a famous rich lady star in the industry, known for living a wild life.

Her friend kept talking nonstop, and Li Xitong, keenly sensing a big scandal here, kept talking to him while also browsing Weibo.

What she didn't expect was, in just an hour and a half, besides her friend and the popular female star, three other sugar daddies had already started fighting on Weibo, each of them claiming to be Jin Yan's true love.

The three sugar daddies, two men and one woman, were all from wealthy families. The woman was a bit more composed, but the two men—well, their behavior almost felt like they'd come out of the closet!

As Li Xitong eagerly browsed through posts, she noticed that many of them had already been deleted.

After all, these rich kids were fearless, but their parents still cared about their reputation. To fight over a little celebrity and come out as gay in the process, that would be embarrassing to anyone seeing it, let alone having it posted online so openly.

Her friend, after being reminded by others, saw those posts and fell silent on the phone. Li Xitong awkwardly curled her toes, unsure whether to hang up, but she couldn't bring herself to do it and just let the silence hang.

After a long while, she heard him take a couple of deep breaths. "I don't believe Yan Yan is that kind of person. I'm going to ask him..."

"I think..." Li Xitong quickly tried to stop him from making a fool of himself, kindly reminding him, "If those three rich kids could get in touch with Jin Yan, they probably wouldn't have to fight it out online..."

Everyone has their dignity, and if there was a better way to solve this, considering how infatuated these rich kids were, if they could get in touch with Jin Yan, she didn't believe they'd have aired all their grievances online, creating a situation where everyone loses.

Besides, this scandal had been out for over an hour, and neither Jin Yan nor his company had responded. They were either figuring out how to manage public relations or calculating how to ride the wave of this drama and come out unscathed.

Her friend, who was being used as a stepping stone in all this, seemed like the biggest fool.

After a long silence, her friend's voice finally came back, only to fall silent again in an instant.

Li Xitong touched her smooth face and kept scrolling through Weibo. As she refreshed the page, she suddenly saw the topic #Jin Yan Deceived into Marriage and Had a Child# trending on the entertainment charts.

In the middle of the night at the Lu household, Lu Yan grimaced as he finished the last bit of the paper talisman tea. His mother immediately handed him a mint candy.

"Eat this, and your mouth won't taste so weird anymore."

Mother Lu gently patted his head, her eyes full of concern.

Ever since her son went on that so-called school expedition and fainted for three days, it had scared the whole family. He only woke up last night, and it really frightened them all.

Lu Yan frowned as he swallowed the mint candy, handed the bowl to his mom, and kept his head down, staring at the messages popping up on his phone. Seeing him still chatting with his friends, looking fine, Lu's mom reminded him to get some rest and went off to sleep herself.

The messages on his phone kept popping up rapidly.

[Lu Yan: Your brother likes men? That's impossible! The first time we went to a nightclub, it was your brother who took us! How could he possibly like men?!]

Lu Yan remembered that first time they went to the nightclub very clearly. He and his buddies were almost caught by their dads, who dragged them back home. He got punished by kneeling in front of the family shrine, his buddy was whipped with a belt, and the brother who took them there almost had his legs broken if not for grandma stepping in.
