Chapter 192 Paying to Buy Trending Searches

In this way, the days passed day by day.

Caiyi became increasingly aware that he had become quite famous at the University of Leah.

Rumors about her are rampant. Some people call her a scumbag who plays with people's feelings, while others accuse her of being a gold digger who is greedy for money.

All sorts of offensive and offensive words flew around, and all of this coincided with the original plot.

Actually, Caiyi himself also contributed to the current situation.

She secretly spent some money to buy the trending topics on the campus network, deliberately amplifying the spread of these rumors, with the aim of making the reality completely match the plot.

Just then, Xu Qingming arrived at the foot of the teaching building as usual, waiting for Cai Yi to finish class.

After all, despite the recent uproar, they were still nominally a couple during this period.

Originally, Caiyi had no expectation that Xu Qingming would come to pick her up the next day, but Xu Qingming argued that if he didn't come to pick her up, how would others believe that the two of them were really a couple?

Considering Xu Qingming's immense popularity and attention at school, many people probably wouldn't believe he would have a girlfriend.

Even though Caiyi was unwilling, he had no choice but to nod and acquiesce in the end.

"Don't I really need to step in and deal with all those rumors flying around?"

Xu Qingming stared at Cai Yi's face with some worry, trying to confirm from the subtle changes in her expression whether she was truly unaffected by the complex and conflicting opinions on the campus website.

"Don't!"

Cai Yi blurted out almost without thinking, and quickly reached out to stop him.

It's important to understand that the money she invested in creating this media storm has already gone down the drain, and now she absolutely cannot let this expense go to waste again.

She carefully used her precious little private treasury to drive the plot forward, but certainly not so that Xu Qingming could easily offset the wealth she had squandered by removing the message from the campus network.

Recalling what had happened before, she couldn't help but feel secretly glad that she had found out in advance that Xu Qingming was the one manipulating everything behind the scenes and quietly deleted those eye-catching comments from the campus network.

Otherwise, if she had followed her original plan, who knows how much money she would have wasted for no reason!

"I...I just enjoy watching these kinds of things for fun."

To conceal his true thoughts, Caiyi casually made up a seemingly reasonable excuse.

After all, if these trending topics that she worked so hard to buy were suppressed again, she would be incredibly frustrated.

Xu Qingming, who was standing to the side, remained silent after hearing this. This hobby was quite unique. Although she didn't know the specific reasons, as long as she herself was not negatively affected by it, it was fine.

However, things didn't go as planned. Despite Cai Yi's best efforts to protect those messages, they were ultimately suppressed.

This result completely numbed Caiyi, as if all her efforts had vanished in an instant.

What frustrated her even more was that Jiang Li and Xiao Baihua worked together to suppress the news.

Despite Cai Yi's best efforts, he couldn't dissuade them from their actions and could only repeatedly spend his own money to push the message back up.

After going through this cycle of ups and downs for quite some time, Caiyi gradually realized that her little private treasury was about to give way.

So, having nowhere else to turn, she decided to approach Jiang Li and Xiao Baihua separately, and deliberately acted in a very ambiguous relationship with them in front of many students.

And so, the already absurd and unfounded rumors were now completely and undeniably confirmed.

Once the news spread, it quickly spread throughout the entire campus like wildfire.

Despite spending a lot of money trying to quell the storm, they were only able to barely suppress the overwhelming rumors circulating on the campus network.

However, they were helpless against the constant whispers and murmurs from the other students, unable to completely eliminate them.

Caiyi naturally noticed the strange looks from the students around him, as well as the whispers that, though seemingly hushed, were still clearly audible.

She knew in her heart that no matter how she explained, it would probably be difficult to change people's preconceived notions.

However, this is the effect she wanted.

That day, Caiyi walked alone on the path on campus.

As she walked, a group of boys and a group of girls suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her way.

She stopped, slowly raised her head, and with a polite and sweet smile revealing eight neat, white teeth, said softly, "Classmates, can we talk this out calmly and rationally?"

But the group of people in front of her didn't seem to have any intention of reasoning with her; they were all staring at her with unfriendly expressions.

Caiyi: "..."

How could those four people have so many followers who are like die-hard fans?

They're not even big stars, yet they've caused such a sensation—it's simply unbelievable!

Especially Jiang Li, who is just a freshman who has just entered the school and attends classes with them, why does she also have a large number of similar fans?

Caiyi didn't really want to hurt anyone easily, after all, they were all classmates.

Unfortunately, these people were too inflexible and ignored her kind advice.

So, having reached his limit, Caiyi decided to teach them a lesson.

However, she still showed mercy, using only skill to knock them all to the ground.

Although it won't cause too much serious harm, these people will probably be in pain for several days after they get back.

She slowly walked past the men and women lying haphazardly on the ground, her gaze utterly calm, as if she hadn't been the one who had just attacked them.

Then, without stopping, she walked straight toward the medical school.

Ma Ke lives there; she's a promising young talent that her family recently asked her to thoroughly investigate.

When she arrived at Ma Ke's hospital room, she saw him sitting quietly on the bed, his eyes focused on the tablet in his hand.

She went in quietly and placed the food she had brought on the table beside the bed.

Ma Ke's living conditions have indeed improved considerably these days.

Ever since Caiyi helped him last time, the medical students have taken extra care of him. They have not only become Caiyi's loyal supporters, but also often come to help take care of Ma Ke.

This made Ma Ke feel very warm and grateful.
