WG - 74

The live stream of the interview had already started.

Fans had been waiting eagerly for their arrival. When they saw Xie Ye come out and sit down, the barrage comments flooded in non-stop.

During the routine Q&A session, they watched as Xie Ye sat there without participating in the conversation.

[Wild is treating himself as invisible again.]

[The expression on Ye Shen’s face clearly spells out four words: “Leave me alone.”]

[I can’t help but feel like the other three are Wild’s secretaries, and he’s sitting there like a CEO big shot hahaha.]

[Is this interview about a domineering princess and her three little knights?]

[Hahahaha, don’t leave, domineering princess xswl hahaha.]

[Help! I’m frantically taking screenshots—he’s so handsome!!!]

[But what is Wild looking at every time he raises his head?]

[Probably checking the time, thinking about leaving to go back to sleep.]

[Maybe he’s urging Old Mu to speed up the program (annoyance warning!).]

[No, look at Ye Shen’s expression—it’s not annoyance, it’s more like… leisure???]

[I think so too! It feels like Ye Shen is different today compared to previous interviews. He seems to be in a good mood today.]

...

The interview continued, and the barrage kept updating.

[AAAAH, here it comes—the individual interview!!!!]

[BREAKING NEWS ~ Wild is finally going to speak!!!!]

[Don’t miss it! The start of Ye Shen’s arrogant quotes!!!!]

[I haven’t laughed at Wild’s antics yet, but the barrage made me laugh to death!!!!!]

[Hahahaha, look at the reporter’s expression—she’s scared, she’s scared.]

[As everyone knows, Wild being silent is him being the most tolerant towards you hahahaha.]

[Sorry, our Wild isn’t arrogant; it’s just his natural disposition.]

[Hahahahahahahahahahaha.]

The barrage was filled with comments, and at the same time, the reporter began asking questions. Later, when the reporter guessed that the “accompanying” meant accompanying his girlfriend for exams, and then heard Xie Ye’s praise of “you’re smart,” the barrage exploded.

[DAMN! Unexpected dog food delivery!!!!]

[Why is this so sour aaaaaaaa!]

[This man really gets people hyped!!!!]

[Wuuuuu, I want a boyfriend like this too!]

[Please tell me who Wild’s girlfriend is! What kind of magic potion did she use to make this man hers!]

[Don’t ask—because we weren’t childhood sweethearts.]

[Wuuuuuu, he accompanied his girlfriend through the college entrance exam!!!]

[Ahhhh, every day addicted to this sweet sugar.]

...

The barrage went wild, and the reporter, unexpectedly praised, was momentarily stunned. But her professionalism kicked in, and she quickly recovered, thanking him. “I never expected such a reason. No wonder everyone online says Wild and his girlfriend have a sweet relationship. She must have been very happy back then.”

Upon hearing this, Xie Ye raised his eyes and naturally glanced toward the person standing next to the camera, ambiguously saying, “Happy, right?”

“...”

Though it was a statement, Chi Zhiyu somehow sensed that he was questioning her.

Chi Zhiyu stood there, locking eyes with him, silently signaling him to focus on the interview and stop making small gestures.

Xie Ye’s lips curved slightly upward. He turned his attention back and continued listening to the reporter’s questions.

“The World Championship is coming up next. All the competitors you’ll face are players you’ve battled before, including Fot Team, who won against YG in the autumn tournament. That must bring a lot of pressure, right?”

Xie Ye: “No.”

“...”

Perhaps recalling Chi Zhiyu’s earlier glare, Xie Ye tried not to be so arrogant and cooperatively added, “Whether you compete or not, the pressure is always there. Just pretend it doesn’t exist and play.”

Chi Zhiyu, standing opposite him, was fairly satisfied with his response. Old Mu beside her also sighed in relief and muttered under his breath, “This kid should just stop talking altogether. Every time he speaks, I feel like I’m having a heart attack.”

After saying that, he turned to Chi Zhiyu, “Little Chi, he’s been with you for so long. Does he talk to you like this usually?”

Chi Zhiyu thought for a moment, “More or less.”

“...,” Old Mu was puzzled, “And you can tolerate this?”

Chi Zhiyu chuckled, “No, he’s never been harsh to me. It’s just his personality. Plus, I often tease him back, so it’s fine.”

“That makes sense,” Old Mu said, “He wouldn’t dare to be harsh with you.”

Chi Zhiyu raised an eyebrow.

“Oh, right,” Old Mu suddenly remembered something and looked at her, “You’re graduating next week, right?”

Chi Zhiyu nodded, “Yes, the graduation ceremony is on the 8th.”

Old Mu smiled, “That’s why. A few days ago, Xie Ye asked me if he had work on the 8th because he wanted to take leave.”

Upon hearing this, Chi Zhiyu’s brows softened, “So does he have work that day?”

“Don’t worry, he’s free that day,” Old Mu teased, “He’ll definitely come to support you.”

Chi Zhiyu laughed, “Alright, thank you, Manager Mu.”

“No problem, if you’re happy, we’re happy.”

“...,”

After the live interview ended, the four of them stepped down from the stage, and Chi Zhiyu greeted them as they returned.

Yang Bin smiled first and asked, “Little Chi, how was my performance?”

“It was good; your answers were pretty solid.”

“Of course, absolutely.”

Yang Bin noticed Xie Ye walking over and sighed, “Big Brother Ye, as expected, you stayed true to your usual style during the responses.”

Xie Ye didn’t even lift an eyelid, too lazy to respond.

“Big Brother Ye, that’s a bit cold, isn’t it?” Yang Bin clicked his tongue, “Look how supportive Little Chi is.”

Xie Ye glanced at him, “You want me to be supportive?”

Yang Bin stopped, “Never mind, forget it.”

At this moment, the reporters approached them to exchange polite greetings. Seeing Chi Zhiyu under her cap, the reporter paused, smiled faintly, and said, “Hello.”

Not expecting her greeting, Chi Zhiyu hesitated for a moment before nodding, “Hello.”

The reporter softly chuckled and said, “Wishing you and Wild a long-lasting relationship.”

She had been sitting opposite Xie Ye, so naturally, she could notice the direction of his gaze. After observing it for a while, she could guess.

Plus, YG rarely brought other staff members along, especially female ones.

Hearing her blessing, Xie Ye raised an eyebrow.

Not surprised by being recognized, Chi Zhiyu looked at the reporter, lightly smiled, and said, “Sorry, I’m just a staff member. Thank you.”

Understanding her implication, the reporter didn’t press further, smiled, nodded at both of them, and turned to walk away.

Once the person left, Chi Zhiyu heard Xie Ye suddenly say, “This reporter, indeed, is clever.”

“...”

Chi Zhiyu glanced at him sharply, “It’s all your fault for always staring at me.”

Xie Ye raised an eyebrow, acting as if she accused him of being some kind of pervert, “What’s wrong with me looking at you?”

“So that’s why we got discovered,” Chi Zhiyu pointed out another issue, “And you didn’t answer the reporter’s questions properly.”

Xie Ye smirked, “How was I improper?”

Chi Zhiyu: “Arrogant.”

“Fine,” Xie Ye nodded humbly, “I now humbly accept your guidance.”

Chi Zhiyu didn’t believe him. Seeing Ding Hui and the others preparing to leave, she said, “Alright, let’s go.”

Xie Ye turned to walk out, noticing Chi Zhiyu trying to slip away to the side, he reached out and grabbed her hand first, “Where are you going?”

Chi Zhiyu patted his hand, “Let go first. I’m a staff member now; I need to go with Old Mu.”

Xie Ye laughed, glanced at her ID badge, and leisurely said, “Sorry, charming Miss Gardenia, you might be mistaken.”

“Huh?”

“Your boss? It’s me. So,” Xie Ye held her hand, pulling her close to his side, slightly tilting his head to look at her, deliberately slow, “You only follow me.”

“...”

Chi Zhiyu was momentarily stunned. Without giving her time to react, Xie Ye confidently walked out, holding her hand.

The group ahead, including Old Mu, saw this spectacle and collectively exclaimed.

Initially oblivious staff members were also drawn by the commotion.

They turned their heads to see Xie Ye’s tall figure, with the female staff member wearing a cap beside him. She wore the team uniform, revealing the “Wild” print on her back.

Nothing unusual.

Just that the distance between the two was rather close.

The staff, filled with curiosity, naturally shifted their gaze downward and then saw—

Their hands intertwined.

After the workday ended and they returned to the base, Chi Zhiyu returned her ID badge and jacket to Old Mu before heading upstairs. As soon as she opened the door, she heard Yang Bin’s loud voice.

Chi Zhiyu frowned slightly and asked Lin Jie, who was closest, “What’s going on?”

Lin Jie, seeing her approach, coughed softly, “This...”

Not knowing how to explain, he could only hand her his phone, “Take a look.”

Chi Zhiyu didn’t quite understand, took the phone, and upon seeing the Weibo interface on the screen, instantly understood.

There must have been some new discovery regarding Xie Ye’s live stream or his girlfriend.

Chi Zhiyu scrolled through Weibo and sure enough found the trending post, posted by one of Xie Ye’s loyal fans.

@BlessedByYeGod: [HELP!! I just finished watching Ye God’s interview!! I discovered a major event!! Look at Ye God’s gaze below—was Wild Wife present at the scene just now??!!]

Attached were three GIFs, each featuring Xie Ye. They showed him looking up at the camera, but upon closer inspection, his gaze and the lens were slightly off, as if he were looking beside the camera.

This post already had over a thousand comments.

[Sisters!! I noticed this too!!]

[If this isn’t him looking at Wild Wife, I’ll eat poop!!]

[Holy crap, I was shocked by GIF 2! That’s why Ye God said “happy” while looking into the camera—he was actually looking at Wild Wife!! Shit!]

[Oh my god!! Anyone who was there, do you know if Wild Wife was there?! Did you see Wild Wife?!]

[Sisters who were there, can you raise your hands and tell us if you saw Wild Wife!!]

Following this comment, many people continuously asked the same question.

Perhaps persistence paid off, as a few minutes later, someone commented on the post.

[Sisters!! Someone who was there has arrived!! Here it is!!]

A link was attached to the comment.

Everyone clicked on it, and the system automatically redirected them to another user’s Weibo post.

——@SisterHere: [Holy crap!! I saw Wild Wife today! Yes! She was there in person!! At first, I was fooled because Wild Wife came as part of the entourage, wearing a cap and dressed in Wild’s team uniform! Then I realized she was super beautiful! Seriously beautiful!! I secretly checked her out several times.

And yes! You’re seeing Wild looking at the camera. At that time, Wild Wife was actually standing right next to the camera!! Every time Wild looked up, he was looking at his girlfriend aaaaaaaaah!!

Finally, the bombshell!! Just now!! Wild openly walked away, holding hands with Wild Wife in front of all of us! Hand in hand! Super cool! Super sweet!!!!!!!]

After everyone finished reading, they scrolled down and saw a picture attached to the text.

It was a photo of Xie Ye walking away, holding Chi Zhiyu’s hand.

The next moment.

This Weibo post blew up.

Chi Zhiyu became famous after this live stream, but only within the esports circle.

Starting from the exposure of the photo, fans relentlessly shipped her and Xie Ye’s relationship. However, apart from the photo of her and Xie Ye holding hands and leaving, there was still no information about her.

Because Xie Ye had left quickly, and the current staff were stunned for a while before reacting, capturing their hand-holding photo was already a great achievement. There were no other photos.

Without seeing Wild Wife’s face, the fans were quite frustrated, but at least they knew she was beautiful and had a great figure.

Chi Zhiyu was quite satisfied with this. Xie Ye didn’t care either way since her face wasn’t captured, and he didn’t respond to anything on Weibo, letting the netizens and fans scream hysterically.

A week later, the hype gradually died down, and it was finally the 8th, the undergraduate graduation ceremony of Ruobei Dance Academy.

The ceremony was held at 2 PM. Chi Zhiyu put on her bachelor’s gown and followed her dorm mates to take graduation photos with classmates outside. After taking those photos, she was immediately pulled away by other classmates to take more pictures.

“You’re such a hot commodity,” Guan Lingling teased beside her, “Later you’ll realize you’re in every photo, leaving traces everywhere.”

“What do you mean leaving traces everywhere?” Chi Zhiyu retorted, “It’s just because I’m too photogenic.”

“...”

Wu Xuan couldn’t stand it anymore and made a gagging face, playfully wrestling with her.

Not long after, the ceremony officially began.

Chi Zhiyu sat in her seat and sent a message to Xie Ye. Wu Xuan, sitting beside her, noticed and raised an eyebrow, “Has your Ye Ge not arrived yet?”

“No, I told him to come later.” Chi Zhiyu put away her phone, “What about you? Is your boyfriend really not coming?”

Mentioning this, Wu Xuan smiled, “What a coincidence, he’s also coming later.”

Chi Zhiyu laughed along, and just then, they heard the host begin the ceremony.

The two stopped talking and quietly listened.

The ceremony lasted two and a half hours. After the conferment ceremony ended, all teachers and students gathered for a final group photo.

Friends and families continued taking photos, hundreds of people together, creating a noisy and chaotic atmosphere.

Chi Zhiyu, without anyone to accompany her, took on the role of photographer. While helping Guan Lingling take photos and stepping back, she suddenly heard a lazy male voice from behind, “Are you graduating or job hunting?”

Hearing this, Chi Zhiyu turned around and met Xie Ye’s gaze.

Today, Xie Ye had changed from his usual black attire to a white shirt, meticulously tied tie, and a black suit jacket casually draped over his arm. In his other hand, he held a bouquet of flowers. Despite the formal outfit, he still exuded a playful arrogance, standing out exceptionally.

Chi Zhiyu was momentarily stunned, then smiled and explained, “Let me finish taking the photos first.”

Seeing him arrive, Guan Lingling quickly said, “No problem, we’ve taken enough photos before. It’s fine.”

Xie Ye gave her a simple nod, acknowledging her.

Guan Lingling hastily nodded, not disturbing them, and turned to find someone else.

Chi Zhiyu glanced at his attire again and couldn’t help but laugh, “What’s with you? Why are you dressed so formally?”

Xie Ye handed her the flowers, “What do you think?”

Looking at him like this, Chi Zhiyu accepted the flowers, blinked, and suddenly tiptoed to kiss his cheek, sincerely complimenting, “My boyfriend looks so handsome.”

After saying that, she still found it amusing and burst into laughter.

“...” Xie Ye glanced at her, not saying a word.

Chi Zhiyu quickly stopped laughing and linked her arm with his, “Come, let’s take a photo.”

She wanted a full-body photo. Looking around, she spotted a girl from her class nearby and approached her, “Can you help me take a picture?”

The girl, hearing this, glanced at Xie Ye behind and was momentarily stunned, “Is that your boyfriend?”

Chi Zhiyu nodded, “Yes, my boyfriend.”

The girl quickly nodded, “Go stand over there, I’ll definitely take a good photo for you!”

Chi Zhiyu thanked her with a smile, walked to Xie Ye’s side, linked her arm with his, and smiled at the camera.

The next moment, she suddenly felt warmth on her cheek.

A familiar kiss.

Chi Zhiyu was momentarily stunned, slightly turning her head to look. Xie Ye straightened up, looked down at her, curved his lips, and slowly said, “Congratulations on your graduation, girlfriend.”

Before she could react, Xie Ye bent down again, leaning close to her face, “Now—”

The next moment, his warm breath covered her lips.

And at the same time, that affectionate line fell.

“Boyfriend showing off some love.”
