Hai Tang felt a wave of dizziness, nearly losing her balance.
Everything before her seemed like a nightmare, yet it felt so real. In the photo, Jing Yu and Yu Baixue were in a close pose, smiling at each other, set against the backdrop of a luxurious restaurant. The ambiguous lighting enveloped them, making everything appear painfully bright.
With trembling hands, she opened Yu Baixue's Weibo.
Sure enough, the latest post was that very photo, captioned "Looking forward to having dinner with you," and it tagged Jing Yu's account.
In the comments section, netizens left messages of congratulations, filled with envy as if they were truly a pair of celestial lovers, while she felt like a mere clown.
Hai Tang's heart ached as if it were being torn apart, tears blurring her vision.
She couldn't understand why Jing Yu would do this to her. Why would Yu Baixue set her up like this? Was this relationship a lie from the very beginning?
Taking a deep breath, she tried to control her emotions. She couldn't break down in front of the cameras; she had to remain calm to face the challenges ahead.
At that moment, the director announced the next task—inviting a friend to dinner.
Hai Tang hesitated for a moment but ultimately dialed Jing Yu's number.
When the call connected, Jing Yu's voice was gentle and warm: "Hai Tang, what's wrong?" This familiar voice felt like a sharp knife piercing her heart.
Suppressing her sorrow, Hai Tang forced herself to sound casual. "Dear, the production team asked me to invite a friend for dinner. I’d like to invite you. Is that okay?" As she spoke those words, her heart trembled; she feared hearing a rejection.
Jing Yu fell silent for a moment, his tone hesitant. "I'm afraid I can't make it today; I have an important meeting tonight."
Hai Tang's heart sank. She knew that Jing Yu was lying; he didn't have an important meeting at all. He simply didn't want to appear in front of the camera with her; he was avoiding her.
He would rather have dinner with Yu Baixue than be seen with her, and that left her feeling utterly desolate.
Suppressing the grievance in her heart, she continued to ask, "What about tomorrow? Is tomorrow possible?" Her voice trembled slightly, as if grasping at the last straw of hope.
Jing Yu fell silent again before firmly stating, "Tomorrow won't work either. I've been very busy lately and might not have time." A busy tone followed, and Jing Yu hung up the phone.
Tears finally streamed down Hai Tang's face as she choked out, "I understand. Sorry to bother you."
The viewers in the live stream witnessed this scene unfold, and the comments exploded like a tidal wave.
"What's wrong with Hai Tang? Why is she crying?"
"Jing Yu rejected her invitation; it seems their relationship really has issues!"
"It must be Yu Baixue causing trouble, deliberately sabotaging their relationship!"
"Hai Tang is so pitiful, abandoned by her boyfriend! She deserves it; she brought this attention upon herself!"
"It's all a publicity stunt! They'll do anything for attention!"
The program staff were in disarray. The director was thrilled by the surge in viewership but worried about the possibility of the stream being shut down. He signaled to the host to regain control of the situation and steer the conversation elsewhere.
The host cautiously approached Hai Tang and asked with concern, "Hai Tang, are you okay? Do you need to take a break?"
Hai Tang shook her head, forcing a smile. "I'm fine, thank you all for your concern."
The host continued to guide the conversation. "Earlier, you mentioned wanting to invite a friend to dinner. Can you share who that friend is? Perhaps we can help you get in touch."
Hai Tang hesitated for a moment but ultimately shook her head. "No, thank you." She didn't want to reveal Jing Yu's contact information or complicate matters further.
The comments in the chat became more intense, with some accusing her of lying and others mocking her for being overly sentimental.
At that moment, Yu Baixue walked over to her side and feigned concern. "Hai Tang, are you okay? Did Jing Yu turn down your invitation?" There was a hint of satisfaction in her tone, as if everything was under her control.
Hai Tang shot her a cold glance but remained silent.
Yu Baixue continued, "You really shouldn't be too upset. Men are always fickle, especially with so many outstanding women around Jing Yu. Why cling to one tree when there are so many others in the forest?"
Hai Tang's fists clenched tightly; she wanted nothing more than to slap Yu Baixue hard, but she couldn't. She had to stay calm.
Taking a deep breath and suppressing her anger, she replied, "Miss Yu, thank you for your concern, but my matters are not your worry."
Yu Baixue smirked dismissively and said, "I'm just trying to remind you not to end up empty-handed and regret it later."
With that, she turned to the camera and announced, "I've invited the internationally renowned designer Mr. Kevin to dinner. I'm looking forward to our conversation." The atmosphere in the livestream shifted instantly, with the comments flooded with praise and envy directed at Yu Baixue.
