People who were initially interested soon grew bored and left, their curiosity satisfied. Mei Leiyan whispered in surprise, "They left... huh," noticing that the many onlookers who had been spying on them from afar had dispersed.

Wang Xiao smiled faintly, "It's normal behavior. Once their curiosity is satisfied, there's nothing interesting left for them. However, you may still face many taunts from your friends, be ready for it."

Mei Leiyan, contemplating the implications, remained silent.

"That's not reassuring..." she finally added.

Wang Xiao shrugged, "It is what it is." The transient nature of public interest didn't bother him, and he seemed unfazed by the prospect of lingering judgments.
