"What do you mean?" Lin Xiao asked.
"I…" Chu Xiangxue only managed to get one word out before she trailed off, unable to continue.
"What in the world is going on?" Lin Xiao asked, his voice stern.
Chu Xiangxue heard the anger in his tone and didn't dare to remain silent any longer. She quickly explained, "When we parted ways, I hugged you, right? And you even told me that someone was secretly taking pictures of us."
"And then?"
"Then that person posted the photos, and now they're a trending topic."
Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he took a deep breath. "What exactly happened?"
"The photos were posted online, and in less than half an hour, the internet exploded. Now, information about both of us is plastered everywhere. My team told me that someone has to be fanning the flames behind the scenes; otherwise, there's no way it would have blown up like this."
"Could it just be that you're so famous that it naturally attracted a lot of attention from netizens?"
