Chapter 811
The two were competing through the phone call, line by line.
At first, Yukinoshita Yukino was at a disadvantage, but she made a desperate counterattack at the end, finding Sakurajima Mai's flaw and regaining momentum in one fell swoop.
And now, comparing the two, overall, Sakurajima Mai had a slight advantage.
"Yukinoshita-san, finally, thank you for your help these past few days, although I don't seem to have the qualification for this thanks."
To put it seriously, she, Sakurajima Mai, was ungrateful, returning evil for good, retaliating against her benefactor, and stealing her benefactor's man, even though the benefactor's help was limited.
"I won't forgive you."
Yukinoshita Yukino saw through the little schemes in Sakurajima Mai's heart at a glance.
Thinking she could get her forgiveness with just such a sentence was underestimating her, Yukinoshita Yukino.
"Mm."
Sakurajima Mai nodded. "I know. We two... from now on, should be... rivals in love, right?"
She and Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't be considered friends, but in Sakurajima Mai's heart, she still had a good impression of Yukinoshita Yukino and wanted to be friends with her. But the development of events often exceeded expectations; before they could become friends, they had become rivals in love.
And once they became rivals in love, it was impossible for them to become friends ever again.
In this world, where would a situation appear where one was both a friend and a lover?
"If you say so, then so be it."
She agreed with Sakurajima Mai's point of view.
But it had to be admitted that Sakurajima Mai was right; her life had ushered in its first rival in love.
This rival in love was a heavyweight one.
Popular big star Sakurajima Mai.
Compared to Sakurajima Mai, her advantages were only two: first, family background, and second, distance—the distance of daily life with Lin Ye.
Lin Ye was ultimately a student at Sobu High; in the next few years, the time she spent with Lin Ye would only be more than the time Sakurajima Mai spent with Lin Ye.
And this was the time she could grasp and control.
She resolved to try to be a bit more proactive later.
She couldn't be the same as before.
"Then, it's getting late, I have to accompany my boyfriend. He should be getting anxious waiting."
Yukinoshita Yukino subconsciously gripped her hand tightly.
She didn't need to ask to know what would happen next.
"Goodbye."
Yukinoshita Yukino, having dropped that sentence, took the initiative to hang up the phone.
After hanging up, Yukinoshita Yukino gritted her teeth, her breath intense, filled with a rich atmosphere of dissatisfaction and displeasure.
*Thump, thump, thump... *
She walked back and forth in the room with large strides.
"What benefactor."
"Returning evil for good, stealing my fiancé."
"Sakurajima Mai, you're ruthless. I, I..."
She wanted to say harsh words, wanted to curse, but the education and conduct she had received since childhood made her unable to make such rude behavior.
Finally, Yukinoshita Yukino, who couldn't vent, had to walk back and forth, stomping her feet to vent the depression in her heart.
"Lin Ye, when you return to Chiba, I will definitely make you pay."
Regardless of the reason, Lin Ye had indeed made her unhappy and displeased.
Especially since he had spent the night entangled with another woman.
How could she easily accept this?
Tonight,
the girl lying on the bed sulking was slow to fall asleep.
She, for the first time in a long while, had insomnia.
The gossip news about Sakurajima Mai being confessed to and accepting the confession to become single spread rapidly on the internet in a short time, occupying the top trending searches.
Especially combined with the confession letter from a few days ago, where the female lead was Sakurajima Mai.
It pushed this news to a new climax.
Numerous fans of Sakurajima Mai had already started to get angry and explosive on the internet.
For Japanese actors, especially female actors, being single was what best suited the fans' needs.
Especially since Sakurajima Mai hadn't even reached adulthood yet; if she had a boyfriend she was dating, the possibility of this being accepted by fans was even lower.
The internet was already filled with curses.
The small number of netizens and fans who were defending and promoting understanding were being scolded by a crowd of fans, who were venting their inner emotions.
Now that Sakurajima Mai hadn't given a positive response, these fans could only vent by angrily scolding netizens with opposing opinions.
"The number you have dialed..."
No answer.
Still no answer.
The manager of the agency where Sakurajima Mai was located had contacted Sakurajima Mai more than once, but the phone could never be reached.
"What to do, what to do?"
"How did it turn out like this?"
"Joining the entertainment industry, where do actors still have the right to free love? The agency has repeatedly ordered that dating is not allowed."
"Even if she really wanted to date, she should have given the agency a heads-up in advance so they could prepare."
"How could she be like this, leaving the agency without any preparation?"
Sakurajima Mai had the potential to remain a popular big star in Japan for the next ten, or even twenty years. For the agency, this would be a cash cow that made money every day.
And for Sakurajima Mai herself, it was the same; whether it was money or income, it would be considerable and beautiful.
But if this 'Akihabara confession incident' caused numerous supporting fans to leave, and her rising reputation suffered a setback and plummeted, the loss would be huge.
They couldn't afford it.
"The number you have dialed..."
Still couldn't get through.
"Answer the phone, will you!"
"If it still doesn't get through, how can we discuss a proper solution?"
"If the boss wants you to pay damages, how are you going to pay?"
As Sakurajima Mai's manager, who had taken over from Sakurajima Mai's mother long ago, she actually had a high regard for Sakurajima Mai and got along very well with her. This girl was already a popular big star, but in daily life, she didn't have a shred of airs, was very polite, and knew how to advance and retreat.
Therefore, she had a good impression and didn't want Sakurajima Mai to lose everything she currently possessed because of this matter.
"Miko-san, our agency's phones have been blown up!"
"Unplug the phone line. Wait until tomorrow to deal with everything."
They could only play dead for now.
It wasn't that the agency couldn't issue a statement first, but if Sakurajima Mai's personal wishes were completely different from the agency's, then things would become even more troublesome.
Therefore,
play dead and delay.
Waiting to contact Sakurajima Mai and reaching a formal public reply with her was the best solution.
Any acting on their own now might instead push the matter into an unpredictable abyss.
"Phew..."
"Hopefully this PR crisis can be passed smoothly."
They were already busy and anxious, with headaches from worry.
Everything depended on tomorrow.
And Hoshino Ai, who had connections to the entertainment industry, also noticed this 'Akihabara confession incident' due to the chatter and attention of those around her.
"Mai was confessed to!" ===== CHAPTER 812 =====
