Female Partner Became Popular in a Love Show - Chapter 107

Meanwhile, Ruan Qiu’s phone chimed. She picked it up and saw it was a message from Sister Lin, who had just sent over the details of what to watch out for in court the next day. With the evidence solid, Ruan Qiu just needed to show up and go through the process, which she quickly finished reading.

As she was about to put down her phone, Xue Wu’s call finally came through.

“Hello, Teacher Ruan.” Xue Wu’s voice came through the speaker, as magnetic as ever. “Sorry, I was driving just now and didn’t see the news online. Congratulations, Teacher Ruan. Your personal charm is truly too strong. Cheng Tianya’s number one fan realized immediately who is the gem and who is the mud after interacting with you, and became fans of our Teacher Ruan.”

Ruan Qiu couldn’t help but rub her ears at his repeated “our Teacher Ruan”, quietly refuting, “Zhou Ping isn’t my fan yet. She didn’t leave the fandom because of me.”

“Teacher Ruan hasn’t seen the latest updates, has she?” Xue Wu laughed. “Zhou Ping has followed you, joined your fan group, posted many good words and compliments about you from when you interacted on the dating show, and earned the fan badge. Some attacked you because of this, but your fans defended you.”

Xue Wu leaned back in his seat, relaxed. “Our Teacher Ruan now has fans to protect her too. Teacher Ruan is amazing.”

From being almost universally hated to turning the tide and gaining a large number of loyal and casual fans, Ruan Qiu had only participated in one variety show, achieving this in half a month.

Such an achievement was unprecedented in the entertainment industry’s history, an opportunity many could only dream of. But Xue Wu thought that even if others had this opportunity, they couldn’t rise to fame like Ruan Qiu because she was unique and almost impossible not to like.

Ruan Qiu felt her face flush as she listened and changed the subject. “Where are you now?”

“Waiting outside the competition venue for Xue Nanjing to come out,” Xue Wu replied. “His competition ended today, and I’m picking him up to go home.”

He saw a tall boy looking around at the entrance, lowered the car window, and waved. Xue Nanjing immediately sprinted over, hopping into the car and loudly boasting, “Bro! I got first place! I had the shortest time!”

“You wouldn’t believe it,” Xue Nanjing excitedly gestured, “I’ve never participated in a physics competition before, but I aced the written test and handed in my paper early. Many thought my practical skills would be weak. Hah, this year’s experiment was the classic DC circuit, super easy. I nailed it and won the championship, shocking everyone.”

After his excited ramble, he noticed his brother was wearing an earphone and seemed to be on a call.

Just as Xue Nanjing was about to complain about the lack of encouragement and care, he heard his brother say to the person on the other end, “Yes, thank you, Teacher Ruan, for your congratulations. Xue Nanjing did well. I plan to celebrate at home tonight. May I have the honor of inviting Teacher Ruan to join us for dinner?”

Hearing the words “Teacher Ruan”, Xue Nanjing immediately shut his mouth and nervously leaned closer to his brother, eager to know if the invitation would be successful.

Although he knew his brother’s excuse for celebrating was just a pretext to invite his future sister-in-law to dinner, Xue Nanjing had no complaints and instead looked delighted.

He was about to have a sister-in-law! A beautiful, gentle sister-in-law who could persuade his brother not to hit him and secretly give him pocket money!

Seeing Xue Wu smile, Xue Nanjing knew it had worked. As expected, Xue Wu said the next second, “Mm, thank you, Teacher Ruan, for accepting. I will make sure to treat you well.”

After hanging up the phone, Xue Nanjing leaned in and asked, “It’s sister-in-law, right?”

“Not yet,” Xue Wu glanced at him. “Don’t call her that when you see her.”

Xue Nanjing mimed zipping his mouth shut to show he understood, but the next second he couldn’t help but excitedly ask, “Bro, if you’re celebrating at home, do we have enough ingredients? Should we go buy some now?”

Xue Wu nodded and took Xue Nanjing to the nearest large supermarket.

Fully gearing up would only attract more attention, so he just wore a mask and confidently stood in the vegetable section, picking out food.

Ever since Ruan Qiu started video-calling him for every meal, his anorexia symptoms had slowly diminished. By now, he could eat most foods without noticing and had even learned to cook for himself.

His doctor had always told him that his anorexia was related to his psychological state, but despite trying all the doctors’ suggestions, he couldn’t forget the things he had eaten in the basement whenever he saw food and couldn’t help but reject it. To sustain his life, he forced himself to eat some food, and just when he thought his life would be like this forever, Ruan Qiu appeared.

A few days ago, Xue Wu took the time to visit his psychologist and told him that he was almost recovered.

The psychologist congratulated him but also expressed concern, “You’ve placed all your emotions on her. But… hypothetically, if she doesn’t like you and you’re not together, your condition might worsen and become more severe. Are you sure about this?”

“Yes,” Xue Wu answered without hesitation. “She told me to live well, and I won’t let her down. Even if she really doesn’t like me…”

Xue Wu wanted to say that even if Ruan Qiu didn’t like him, he would bless her to find someone she loved and silently protect her. But his throat couldn’t produce any insincere words. Just thinking about that outcome made his heart ache, and he couldn’t say it out loud.

So he remained silent.

The psychologist understood him and saw his true thoughts through his behavior, but knowing he couldn’t persuade Xue Wu, he could only silently pray that Xue Wu and Ruan Qiu would live happily ever after, as netizens wished.

Every time Xue Wu met with Ruan Qiu, he thought that all the years of pain and misfortune he had endured were in preparation for meeting her.

She was his only luck in this life; how could he let go?

Xue Wu thought with some darkness that even if Ruan Qiu really liked someone else, he would fight for her, even using unscrupulous means to keep her and make her fall for him.

“Don’t pull me!” Hearing Xue Nanjing’s shout, Xue Wu turned sharply and saw a man grabbing Xue Nanjing’s wrist, muttering while staring at his face.

Xue Wu felt a chill run down his spine. He strode over to Xue Nanjing, knocked the man’s hand away, ignored the man’s protests, called security, and pushed the cart with Xue Nanjing to the checkout.

Feeling the low pressure emanating from Xue Wu, Xue Nanjing bit his lip and explained, “Bro, that guy said I look like their old master and insisted I go back with him to check.”
