Since the person had already arrived in the capital, Xu Tingyu couldn't just ignore him.
She quickly arranged tasks for her two assistants and then sent Chen Yan the location of the dance studio.
"I can't pick you up. Take a taxi here first. I'll finish my class around 3:30. Come here and we'll talk later."
Chen Yan had become much more mature over the years. His sudden return surely meant something had happened.
But Xu Tingyu always put work first. So even her best friends had to take a back - seat to her work.
As it turned out, Chen Yan called her directly. "Hey, you still have to go to that class? Weren't there just some new rumors?"
Xu Tingyu didn't expect someone living abroad to already know about the scandal. She felt a bit embarrassed.
"Sure enough, good news never goes beyond the door while bad news spreads far and wide. But I have a clear conscience. If I don't go to class, doesn't it just prove I'm guilty?"
She still stuck to her old argument.
"Alright, I'll wrap things up quickly. Pay attention to your safety on the way. Text me when you arrive."
Xu Tingyu didn't have the time to listen to his other words and just hung up the phone.
When she reached the door of the dance classroom, she didn't try to hide. She just walked in boldly.
She knew that after all the commotion last night, there would surely be reporters waiting today.
But she wasn't afraid.
She was just a dance teacher coming to teach a class.
Once she got inside, the first person she saw was Jin Hui.
When he saw Xu Tingyu, he was first stunned. He didn't expect her to come in person. He thought she would send a substitute teacher.
"Don't be so surprised. This is the last class today. There's no need to change teachers. Besides, I haven't done anything wrong, right?"
Xu Tingyu even had the mood to joke with him.
It showed that she really didn't take this matter to heart.
Seeing her calm face, Jin Hui felt a bit relieved. Then he said, "Ms. Xu sure has a big heart."
If it were someone else involved in a scandal with a top - tier celebrity, they definitely couldn't be so open - minded.
Moreover, Yan Zhou clearly had feelings for her.
"I'm just in a good state of mind. Stop joking around. Call everyone for class. I have something to do today and need to finish early."
She said to Jin Hui while walking towards the changing room.
When she came out again, everyone was already there.
Yan Zhou, standing at the front, looked haggard, obviously having not slept much all night.
Xu Tingyu didn't offer any comfort. She just started the class as usual.
Yan Zhou wanted to say something but held back. In the end, he said nothing.
It wasn't until the class was over that Xu Tingyu wiped the sweat from her forehead and gave everyone a gentle smile.
"Well, this dance class has come to an end. I'd like to wish everyone a successful performance and victory in advance."
After saying the usual words, she was about to go change her clothes.
At this time, Yan Zhou called her again. "Tingyu, can I talk to you alone for a while?"
Xu Tingyu saw that everyone had scattered. Only Jin Hui glanced in their direction and quickly turned away.
He seemed the same as usual.
She didn't think much of it and just nodded. "Sure."
The two of them walked to the corridor. Yan Zhou's eyes were full of guilt. "I'm really sorry. I didn't expect things to turn out like this."
He didn't even dare to admit that he had other thoughts.
Just having a meal had caused such a stir. He didn't even dare to think what would happen if they were really together.
He had stayed up all night to sort out his feelings.
On one hand, the feelings he had developed couldn't fade away. He even had the impulse to take a risk.
On the other hand, he felt that Xu Tingyu had no extra feelings for him.
And that man who showed up later yesterday...
Xu Tingyu didn't know about his complex mental activities. Hearing his apology again, she just smiled. "It's okay. Stop apologizing."
Wasn't this matter already over?
Moreover, constant apologies couldn't undo what had already happened.
Yan Zhou gave a bitter smile. He finally understood that Xu Tingyu really had no feelings for him.
But young people were never short of patience.
He knew that he couldn't offer her any guarantees or promises for now.
But he was convinced that as long as he worked harder, she would see his good side and his fans would accept her too.
Thinking of this, he swallowed the words he originally wanted to say and gave her a gentle smile. "Okay, let's meet often in the future."
This sentence made Xu Tingyu a bit confused.
But before she could ask, Yan Zhou showed a bright smile. "Weren't there a tour and a new product launch? The company has decided to accept the invitation."
Previously, Xu Tingyu had invited Try to be special guests, but their agency hadn't given a definite answer.
It seemed that after yesterday's scandal, the company had the same view as her - instead of hiding, it was better to be open.
This was an unexpected bonus.
She also smiled. "Great. Our side will come up with a cooperation plan as soon as possible."
Yan Zhou had once asked himself when he had started to have different feelings for Xu Tingyu.
There were beautiful women everywhere in the entertainment industry.
Later, he found that it was her seriousness.
She usually seemed calm and unrestrained, but when it came to work, she always became extremely serious.
And serious people were both cute and good - looking.
"Tingyu, how much longer?"
Just as the two were talking, a slightly displeased voice suddenly came.
Xu Tingyu turned around and saw Chen Yan with a clearly unhappy face.
She didn't know how long he had been there, but he was clearly impatient after waiting for so long.
Looking at his familiar face, Xu Tingyu couldn't help laughing. "Got it. I'll come right away. You're still so impatient."
Saying this, she greeted Yan Zhou and then walked towards the changing room.
Since she didn't turn back, she didn't see that Yan Zhou and Chen Yan glanced at each other, both with a hint of hostility in their eyes.
After changing her clothes, she saw the members of Try standing at the door looking at Chen Yan.
When they saw her come out, they all joked, "You just had a scandal with our captain yesterday, and today you're bringing your real boyfriend to clear the rumors?"
"You guys are so talkative. You all know there's already a scandal, and you're still spreading rumors?"
Xu Tingyu rolled her eyes at them. She wasn't really angry but just joking.
If she took these words seriously and refused, it would seem inappropriate.
Sure enough, everyone laughed and didn't say anything more.
She also didn't see Yan Zhou and Jin Hui. She picked up her bag and left first.
"Spending all day with these young idols, does your heart race?"
Chen Yan took her bag and said sourly.
Xu Tingyu laughed. "You're not old either. Besides, with the nature of my job, my heart races with all my clients."
How could one not have a racing heart when dancing?
"I think that kid named Yan has malicious intentions. He wants to use you for hype. Stay away from him."
But Chen Yan didn't take her joke seriously. He whispered a warning to her.
"Malicious intentions? You're overthinking. He's a few years younger than me. Would he have malicious intentions towards a woman with a four - year - old child?"
Xu Tingyu didn't believe it at all.
