Chapter 558
Everyone present had experienced it to some extent.
Even if they hadn’t experienced it, they understood love through fictional works like movies, novels, and anime.
For the sake of love, many people would throw themselves into the fire, regardless of everything.
And Mai Sakurajima had clearly become one of them.
“I know many fans will turn away and stop being fans because of this, and I also know that many people cannot accept the fact that I am dating.”
“But I don’t regret it.”
“I am going to move toward new goals on this path as an actress, accompanied by him.”
“I don’t beg all fans to continue supporting me as always.”
“But I am praying and hoping for it in my heart.”
“I will also do my best in the future to bring everyone better film and television works that will satisfy you even more.”
……
Her words were clear and sincere.
There was definitely anger,
but it really couldn’t be counted as being too angry.
This was the thought of many viewers.
Most fans still liked this star because of Mai Sakurajima’s acting skills.
And to stop being a fan and become a hater just because she was dating a man who had helped her, that really didn’t count.
Except for extreme fans, most fans were still rational.
Mai Sakurajima didn’t find a married man, nor was it something immoral.
And now she was sincerely expressing her apologies and telling the truth.
The dissatisfaction of many people had dissipated by seven or eight tenths.
Subsequently,
Mai Sakurajima continued to express her apologies, apologizing for the public opinion caused by the Akihabara confession incident the day before yesterday and to the many people who were concerned about this incident.
The sincerity was well-placed.
Many fans had also been relieved.
Although this press conference was a little late, it wasn’t particularly late, and they could accept it.
Of course,
negative comments still existed on the internet,
and smear campaigns against Mai Sakurajima still appeared,
but compared to before, the number had decreased significantly.
Public opinion was slowly calming down,
and the situation was quietly coming to a halt.
The edited video ended.
The Service Club classroom returned to calm.
“Wow! In the end, she didn’t say who that man was.”
What Iroha Isshiki cared about most was this matter,
but even when reporters asked, Mai Sakurajima politely declined and did not disclose any relevant information.
Mai Sakurajima didn’t want his life to be disturbed any further.
“So curious, I really want to know!”
Iroha Isshiki sighed, “Senpai, Senpai, what do you think is the identity of Mai’s boyfriend? No one has been able to find him until now.”
She poked Lin Ye’s waist and asked.
“Not sure, maybe he’s a high school student like us!”
“Ha!”
Iroha Isshiki was stunned, “How could he be a high school student? He’s so mature and charming; that’s definitely not the temperament and aura a high school student could possess.”
The junior shook her head vigorously, denying Lin Ye’s guess.
Lin Ye looked helplessly at Yukino Yukinoshita.
Their eyes met and locked.
The long-haired black-haired girl rolled her eyes, showing slight dissatisfaction.
Just by listening to the sound in the video, she already knew seven or eight tenths of it.
It was because of Lin Ye’s help to Mai Sakurajima that the big star had developed feelings for Lin Ye,
and the final confession had broken through the last line of defense in her heart.
Knowing full well that Lin Ye had a quasi-fiancée and girls with whom he had intimate relationships, Mai Sakurajima still took this step.
Yukinoshita knew that if she were to spread this—that Mai Sakurajima was hooking up with a man who had a fiancée—Mai Sakurajima’s future in the entertainment industry would definitely be gone, and she would lose all her reputation.
But Yukino Yukinoshita was not the kind of woman who would do such a thing.
Her heart was still kind.
In her competition with Mai Sakurajima, she would still choose to be fair and just. Matters of the heart should be resolved in the field of love, not by using other means.
“Yukino-senpai, what do you think of Mai’s press conference this time?”
“It was quite sincere. This is actually the best way for her to handle PR.”
Yukino Yukinoshita thought for a moment and continued, “Sincerity is the ultimate move. In the current storm of public opinion, no matter how she explains it, there will be problems. It’s better to just admit it and express her emotional experience with him to the public to gain recognition and resonance.”
And as a result, she was successful.
At least public opinion had begun to calm down, and more followers were curious about the man’s identity and what exactly happened between the two.
Much of the attention had been drawn to that man of unknown identity.
How things will go in the future depends on the guidance of public opinion.
There were haters constantly smearing her, but the agency clearly hired a professional team to deal with the smearing and attacks on Mai Sakurajima on the internet, trying to minimize the impact and reduce the duration of the impact as quickly as possible.
“Yeah, yeah! I was worried that Mai would quit the entertainment industry because of this. Now it seems I was overthinking it; Mai will still be active in front of the camera.”
Iroha Isshiki seemed to like Mai Sakurajima quite a lot.
Yui Yuigahama also had a very good impression of Mai Sakurajima.
“Mai is beautiful, has a good personality, excellent acting skills, and great fashion sense. Many of the fashion magazines I read feature her as a model, and I bought quite a few clothes by following her style.”
Yui Yuigahama also started praising her.
“Her boyfriend is sincere and responsible, helping Mai when she was in the most difficult time.”
“These two are a match made in heaven.”
One sentence,
caused Yukino Yukinoshita to relegate Yui Yuigahama to the gray list.
Lin Ye and Mai Sakurajima are a match made in heaven, so what does that make her, Yukino Yukinoshita? A third party?
Is she, Yukino Yukinoshita, a third party?
What a joke.
A chill emerged, causing the temperature in the Service Club to drop by several degrees.
Iroha Isshiki and Yui Yuigahama shivered subconsciously.
What’s going on? Why did it get so cold in the middle of the day?
“It’s about time, let’s go back to the classroom!”
Lin Ye said in a timely manner.
If they continued, Lin Ye didn’t know what topic they would talk about.
If Yukinoshita exposed him, he didn’t know how he would be pestered by this junior, Iroha Isshiki.
Having finally handled yesterday’s matter properly, Lin Ye didn’t want to face Iroha Isshiki’s pestering again.
Although he could still use his hypnosis superpower to solve Iroha’s problem, Lin Ye didn’t want to use it unless necessary.
The few of them started to clean up the bowls and chopsticks, and after finishing, they headed to the classroom.
The afternoon classes started on time.
On the podium of Class J, Shizuka Hiratsuka in her white lab coat was teaching Japanese literature.
And her focus was on Lin Ye.
Lin Ye gave Shizuka Hiratsuka enough face and was very serious throughout the class, though his mind was thinking about his own affairs.
