Chapter 818

~7 min read 1,234 words

The two talked over the phone, competing with each other between the lines,

at first Yukinoshita Yukino was at a disadvantage, but in the end, she made a desperate counterattack, found Sakurajima Mai's flaw, and regained her momentum in one fell swoop.

And now, comparing the two, overall, Sakurajima Mai occupied a slight advantage.

"Yukinoshita, finally, thank you for your help over the past few days, although I don't seem to have the qualification for this thanks."

To put it seriously, she, Sakurajima Mai, was ungrateful, returned kindness with enmity, retaliated against her benefactor, and snatched her benefactor's man, although her benefactor's help was limited.

"I won't forgive you,"

Yukinoshita Yukino saw through the little tricks 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. The two of us... from now on, should be... rivals in love, right!"

She and Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't be counted as friends, but in Sakurajima Mai's heart, she still had a good impression of Yukinoshita Yukino and wanted to become friends with her, but the development of things often exceeded expectations; she and Yukinoshita hadn't become friends yet, and had already become rivals in love first.

And once they became rivals in love, it was impossible for the two of them to become friends ever again.

In this world, where would such a relationship exist where one is both a friend and a lover?

"If you say so, then so be it,"

she agreed with Sakurajima Mai's point of view.

But she had to admit that Sakurajima Mai was right; her life had ushered in its first rival in love.

And this rival in love was a heavyweight one.

The highly popular big star, Sakurajima Mai.

Compared to Sakurajima Mai, her advantages were at most two points: one was family background, and the other was distance, the distance of daily life with Lin Ye.

Lin Ye was, after all, a student at Sobu High; in the next few years, the time she spent with Lin Ye would only be more and more compared to the time Sakurajima Mai spent with him.

And this was the time she could grasp and control.

She was determined to try to be a little more proactive afterward.

She couldn't be the same as before.

"Then, it's getting late, I have to accompany my boyfriend; he must be waiting anxiously."

Yukinoshita Yukino subconsciously clenched her hands.

She didn't need to ask what would happen next to know what the content would be.

"Goodbye,"

Yukinoshita Yukino dropped that sentence and took the initiative to hang up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Yukinoshita Yukino gritted her teeth, her aura intense, filled with a rich aura of dissatisfaction and displeasure.

'Thump, thump, thump...'

She walked back and forth in the room with large strides.

"What benefactor,"

"Returning kindness with enmity, snatching my fiancé."

"Sakurajima Mai, you're ruthless, I, I..."

She wanted to say harsh words, wanted to curse, but the education and character she had received since childhood made her unable to perform such rude behavior.

In the end, 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 lingering with another woman,

how could she easily accept that?

Tonight,

the young girl lying on the bed sulking was slow to fall asleep,

she, for the first time in a long while, had insomnia.

News and gossip about Sakurajima Mai being confessed to and accepting the confession to become single spread rapidly on the internet, occupying the top headlines.

Especially combined with the confession letter from a few days ago, the heroine was Sakurajima Mai.

This pushed the news to a new climax.

Numerous fans of Sakurajima Mai had already begun to vent their anger on the internet.

For Japanese actors, especially actresses, being single was what best suited the fans' needs.

Especially since Sakurajima Mai wasn't even an adult 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 cursing,

and the small number of netizens and fans who defended and promoted 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 scolding netizens with opposing opinions.

"The number you have dialed..."

No answer,

still no answer.

The agency where Sakurajima Mai was located had already contacted Sakurajima Mai by phone more than once, but the phone could never be reached.

"What to do, what to do?"

"How did it end up like this?"

"Joining the entertainment industry, where do actors have the right to free love? The agency has repeatedly ordered no dating,"

"Even if you really want to date, you should have greeted the agency in advance to be prepared,"

"How could it be like this, leaving the agency with no 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 making money every day.

And for Sakurajima Mai herself, it was actually 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 a phone that couldn't get through.

"You should at least answer the phone!"

"If this still doesn't connect, how can we discuss a proper solution,"

"If the boss wants you to pay compensation, how are you going to pay?"

As Sakurajima Mai's manager, who had taken over from Sakurajima Mai's mother a long time ago, she actually had a high level of favorability toward Sakurajima Mai, and her relationship with this girl was also very harmonious; this young girl was already a popular big star, but she had no airs in daily life, 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 had because of this incident.

"Miss Miko, our agency's phone has been blown up!"

"Unplug the phone line, everything will wait until tomorrow when we go to work."

Could only play dead first.

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,

wait until contacting Sakurajima Mai and reaching a formal public response with her; that was the best solution.

Any self-assertion they made now might instead push things into an unpredictable abyss.

"Hoo..."

"Hopefully this PR crisis can be passed smoothly."

They were already busy and anxious with headaches.

Everything depended on tomorrow.

And Hoshino Ai, who had connections to the entertainment industry, also noticed this 'Akihabara Confession Incident' due to the gossip and attention of those around her.

"Mai was confessed to!"
