An actor's acting

The storm had died down.

At least for a few long minutes as if a funeral was going on. The silence was deafening. There wasn't anything said about himself or Chyou in his statement. He directly hammered upon the concept of friendship. It was an unexpected stance that left many at a loss.

Even so another storm soon erupted in response to Yating's response.

"Apparently Cheng Yin's fans are offended even more now," Sun Jiang raised her brow. "People don't like being stepped on their tail."

Xiang scoffed. "Of course, they will feel slapped. You easily judge others but you don't like it when others judge you. Nobody likes to be on that side of the spotlight."

The pounding heart in Chyou's chest was finally calming down. She knew they hadn't done anything wrong, yet she had felt losing that confidence. But his statement rejuvenated that faith.

Sun Jiang asked, "Are you feeling a little better now?"

She smiled. "Yeah."
