Transmigration of the Famous Cyber Star
chapter-149

Meanwhile, Yu Zhan held Liu Man’s hand as they walked to the parking lot. Even though there were not many pedestrians on the road at this time, they still attracted lots of attention.

Yu Zhan opened the passenger seat’s door and let Liu Man sit down first. He then went to the trunk, took out the first aid kit, and put it on the ground.

“Open your hand.”

His voice did not sound as angry as he was just now, but it still had a hint of toughness, as if his fire was still not quenched.

Liu Man pursed her lips and chuckled. She obediently stretched out her right hand and opened her palm.

Her fingernails were already red and swollen. The most severe wounds were on the index finger and little finger. There were two visible cracks on them. At this time, there was still blood oozing from them. And the blood that shed before had already dried up in her palm.

Since he studied in the vet major, Yu Zhan has seen blood frequently since he was in college. He thought he had already felt calm about it, but when he saw the blood on Liu Man’s palm, his heart still throbbed.

“And your other hand?”

“There are no injuries on my left hand,” Liu Man was afraid that Yu Zhan would be angry and wanted to hide it. As soon as she came into contact with Yu Zhan’s commanding gaze, she shrank her neck and stretched out her left hand again. Hesitating, she opened her left palm to reveal the large blisters on her fingers.

“It’s nothing. Blisters are normal for Guqin players since we have to press on the strings…” Under Yu Zhan’s angry gaze, Liu Man’s voice became smaller and smaller.

Yu Zhan said nothing, squatted down in front of her, and began to treat Liu Man’s wounds.

Liu Man lowered her head. Yu Zhan’s delicate face was close to her eyes. She could examine his chin, his lips, the bridge of his nose, and his long eyelashes. Even when he was angry, his eyes still showed extreme tenderness.

It turned out to be such a wonderful feeling to like someone. Not only did Liu Man not reject Yu Zhan’s approach, but she also wanted to create opportunities for him to approach.

Admit it, Liu Man. You’ve already started liking him since a long time ago, too, haven’t you?

“How do you think my performance was just now?”

Yu Zhan looked up and looked into Liu Man’s eyes. She was like a child asking for compliments, and he couldn’t get angry anymore no matter how hard he tried. He sighed, “It was excellent and beyond my imagination.”

When Yu Zhan was watching the performance, other performers and staff were standing around him. They were always gasping in his ears and were very noisy. They badmouthed her at the beginning, exclaimed during the middle of the piece, and near the end, they were already worshipping her like a goddess.

Their comments also made Yu Zhan, a complete amateur, understand that Liu Man was not playing the Guzhen but the Guqin. He also learned just how strong Liu Man’s skills were.

“I remember, when we first met, that you told me your grades were not good,” Yu Zhan looked at her with a smile.

“My piano level is average, but I am better at Guqin,” Liu Man told the truth, “Aren’t all the people on the Internet picking on my grades? My grade ranking is very low; it’s one of the worst ones on the leaderboard.”

As soon as she mentioned the internet, Yu Zhan’s anger came again. Of course, he was not angry with Liu Man; he was mad at the newsbreaker named Zhang Daqiang, Yu Zhan was mad at Tang Tu, and he was mad at all the netizens who insulted Liu Man,

“When I finish bandaging your wound, I will deal with this matter.”

“Which matter?”

Liu Man wasn’t able to follow Yu Zhan.

She did not really care about the dirty messages to her coming from the internet.

“Oh, oh,” she said, realizing what he was talking about at once, “Don’t mind these random things. There is no need to worry about people on the internet and waste time and energy. If they want to scold me, then let them scold me. Those who are innocent know they are innocent, and those who are wrong know they are guilty. Fairness always lives in one’s heart.”

Yu Zhan was puzzled by her open-mindedness, “Do you not care about those attacks?”

“At first I minded, especially…” Liu Man paused for half a second with a trace of pain in her eyes, “Especially when the friend who was supposed to play the Guzhen suddenly withdrew before the performance because of this incident. It was a big blow, and Xiaoru and I almost gave up the show.”

When it came to Wen Fangfei, Liu Man’s tone still sounded upset.

“In this case, she is not your friend. Through this incident, you can see someone’s identity.”

Liu Man looked at Yu Zhan. His clear eyes reflected only one shadow; hers.

He was just like Li Xiaoru. No matter when and no matter what happened, he always chose to believe her without any conditions.

“Aren’t you curious about my relationship with Tang Tu?” Liu Man purposely asked. She wanted to see how Yu Zhan would react.

Yu Zhan looked very relaxed on the outside and said, “Not at all. I know that these are all lies anyway.”

To be honest, he felt super uncomfortable on the inside. He hated seeing Liu Man’s name put together with that male celebrity named Tang Tu.

“I did have a crush on him before.”

!!!

Yu Zhan pretended to stay calm and said indifferently, “And?”

Liu Man chuckled. She could see Yu Zhan was forcing himself to keep his calm, and so she continued to tease him, “Starting from eleventh grade, I treated him like my male god. I only applied for Capital Music University because of him.”

Seeing Yu Zhan’s face darkened by the second, Liu Man finally spoke the truth, “And then, suddenly one day, I stopped liking him. I don’t like him at all now.”

“Yeah,” Yu Zhan’s expression softened slightly. He could barely let this answer pass. Although he hadn’t liked other girls before Liu Man, he could accept that Liu Man liked other boys because it would not make a problem anyway.

How could Yu Zhan have known that the real Liu Man, like him, had never liked someone else before?

“I was able to find that part-time job in the movie because of Professor Qiu Jing, but it has nothing to do with Tang Tu. I didn’t know that he was also involved in this movie when I arrived in Shanghai. The pictures of me getting into the nanny car are true, however. On the day I returned to the capital, Tang Tu asked his assistant Ma and his driver to drive me to the airport, and I paid 200 yuan as the fee.”

Yu Zhan was secretly happy. He could be sure now that he had defeated Tang Tu. He often gave Liu Man rides, but Liu Man never paid him a fare.

As a result, Liu Man said next, “The WeChat chat history themselves are also real, but they had been deliberately edited.”

Yu Zhan’s expression darkened. He had a deep impression of Tang Tu’s “I like you.” There was nothing more depressing than having your enemy be the first to confess to your crush.

Yu Zhan stopped talking and focused on treating Liu Man’s injuries. He stopped the bleeding, disinfected, applied salve, and put on bandages at last.

“All right. Don’t get in contact with water within a week, and don’t do anything tiring with these fingers.”

Yu Zhan stood up.

Liu Man was going to thank him.

Yu Zhan looked at her. He first mysteriously sighed, then, as if he had made an irreversible decision, abruptly took her shoulders into his arm.

Liu Man, totally unprepared, bumped into his chest. She had a very confusing moment and only realized she was being hugged by Yu Zhan when she felt his body warmth near her face and got overwhelmed by the scent belonging to this man.

Liu Man was still sitting, and Yu Zhan was bending over to hug her. His arms circled her shoulder and her lean waist.

She subconsciously wanted to struggle, but Yu Zhan’s deep voice came from above her.

“Don’t you know I like you too?”
