Chapter 156 : Mysterious Power
Chapter 156 : Mysterious Power
"Why are you people so boring? Always trying to dig up people's real identities."
"If you like her, don't interfere with her life."
"Frankly speaking, people who want to dig up others' privacy are all orphans."
"Since you love invading others' privacy so much, your family photo must have only you in it, right? I really envy how carefree and unrestrained you can live, not needing to consider any interpersonal relationships."
Soon, a mysterious power swept across Bilibili, LGA, and various major social platforms. The wind direction almost completely shifted to one side. Many discussions about Xiyue's real identity disappeared under the condemnation of countless "justice-filled" "partners of justice." The world gradually returned to peace, and everyone's discussion focus was deliberately guided by this force to shift to Xiyue's gender.
After all, no matter what, firepower always needed a target to vent at—it couldn't all be held in the barrel. With discussions about the real person's identity suppressed, another issue that people greatly valued naturally rose to the top.
After a period of discussion, the joking netizens rarely reached a consensus—Xiyue was a girl.
Once this conclusion was reached, it caused huge waves. No wonder Teacher Hana ni Kaze was "topping" Xiyue earlier—good heavens, lesbians were right beside us!
Many netizens who realized this felt very ashamed and came to Teacher Hana ni Kaze's posts to apologize: "Very sorry for misunderstanding you, teacher. You are a truly deserving 'yuri' artist."
This news instantly excited countless netizens. Yuri! Yuri couples!
Beautiful girls being intimate with each other—who wouldn't love that?
Thus, overnight, a large number of "Flowers Have Wind" x "Xiyue" CP fans emerged. They didn't even need to fight with other CP fans because this was already confirmed—a real couple.
Seeing the wind direction had roughly stabilized, Bei Yaoyue finally relaxed somewhat. This was the limit of what she could do, after all, trolls could only change direction, not suppress popularity—that wasn't something the number of trolls could determine.

The next day.
"Coo Coo!"
Spotting He Pingge's figure from far away among the crowd pouring out of the airport exit, Xifeng waved her hands high, trying to get He Pingge's attention. But she quickly realized her height could easily be drowned in the crowd, so she jumped up and down in place somewhat embarrassedly, trying to increase her maximum altitude.
That white figure bouncing up and down, constantly moving, attracted a lot of attention. He Pingge naturally noticed Xifeng's presence too. She pulled her suitcase and squeezed through the crowd toward her.
"Long time no see, Coo Coo."
Xifeng quickly stepped forward to take the bag He Pingge was carrying, but the bag's weight far exceeded her imagination. Unable to support it, the bag fell to the ground with a "thud."
Almost laughing out loud, He Pingge suppressed the smile in her eyes and bent down to pick up the bag: "Let me carry it."
"I'll do it."
A strange voice suddenly inserted between the two. Soon a slender but particularly strong-looking arm picked up the bag from the ground and took the suitcase from He Pingge's hand.
He Pingge was startled, only then noticing that besides Bei Yaoyue, there was someone beside Xifeng she didn't recognize.
"Uh, this is my... bodyguard, Ye Zhenzhen." Xifeng smiled somewhat awkwardly. Indeed, introducing one's bodyguard to others felt... a bit too weird.
"Bodyguard?" He Pingge was startled again. After not seeing her for a month and a half, how did Xifeng even have something like a bodyguard?
"Mm..." Xifeng quietly agreed, then quickly smiled awkwardly to change the subject: "Let's go. Let's get out first. There are too many people here—it's a bit stuffy."
After speaking, Xifeng led the way toward the exit. Ye Zhenzhen quickly followed, leaving Bei Yaoyue and He Pingge standing in place, looking at each other wordlessly.
After the two looked at each other very tacitly, Bei Yaoyue said with a calm expression: "Welcome to Crescent City."
"......Thank you." He Pingge returned a faint smile and got up to chase after the two.
Bei Yaoyue watched He Pingge's retreating figure deeply, a trace of sympathy flashing through her azure eyes.
Yes... sympathy.
This sympathy wasn't mockingly meant, but genuine sympathy from the heart after putting herself in the other's shoes.
After all, both she and He Pingge simply loved that girl. How could her love be any more noble than He Pingge's?
She had simply occupied all the advantages of timing, location, and people to emerge victorious from this wordless battle.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Bei Yaoyue actually erased her hostility toward He Pingge and began to genuinely sympathize with this girl who was her romantic rival, even feeling somewhat guilty.
After all, how much effort He Pingge had put in for Xifeng was clear even to her, someone who wasn't familiar with He Pingge. Using the word "devoted" wouldn't be an exaggeration.
But sympathy was sympathy—she naturally couldn't just hand Xifeng over to her because of this sympathy. However, for everything besides Xifeng, she felt she could give He Pingge some care in various aspects.
This would at least compensate for He Pingge's years of caring for Xifeng.
When they returned to the car, the three had just finished loading luggage into the trunk. Bei Yaoyue thought for a moment and chose to let Xifeng and He Pingge sit in the back row, while she sat alone in the passenger seat.
This level of concession was still acceptable to her.
"Master, where to?" Starting the car, Ye Zhenzhen turned to ask Bei Yaoyue.
Bei Yaoyue didn't turn her head: "He Pingge, have you found a place to stay?"
"Not yet." He Pingge shook her head. "I plan to find a place to rent near your residential area."
"What about these two days?"
"I'll stay in a hotel these two days. I've already booked it."
"Hey, why stay in a hotel? Why don't you stay at my place first?" Xifeng said from the side.
"Ah? Is that really okay?" He Pingge was startled. She looked at Xifeng, then at Bei Yaoyue, thinking—wasn't Xifeng with Bei Yaoyue? If she just moved into Xifeng's room so brazenly, wouldn't Bei Yaoyue say something?
"It's fine, you can stay." Bei Yaoyue gave a straightforward affirmative answer. "The bedroom is empty anyway. It's quite wasteful with no one living there. It's also hard to find rentals here, so just stay at Xifeng's place."
"Since that's the case, I'll respectfully accept your offer." He Pingge nodded, feeling somewhat excited inside. Wasn't this her chance?
Shaking her head secretly, Bei Yaoyue naturally knew what He Pingge was thinking, but... Xifeng was currently living in her room.
