In a relationship (2)

"You're in a relationship with Ding Feng."

Xia Lihua felt like the ground had given way beneath her feet.

She had braced herself for questions regarding her circumstances during the recording, such as whether she had been removed from the program or granted permission to carry on. However, what Zhao Qianci had just mentioned went far beyond her expectations.

"I am dating whom?"

Zhao Qianci seemed to sense the intensity in Xia Lihua's gaze and promptly closed her mouth, her nervousness apparent in the way her eyes darted around the room.

Wen Shan, another girl from the dance team, enthusiastically flung an arm around Xia Lihua and gave her a tight squeeze. "You don't have to hide it from us. Your boyfriend just confirmed it on the internet!"

"Boyfriend?" Xia Lihua's mind raced.

Did I somehow get a boyfriend? And why is she hugging me like this?

Xia Lihua shook off Wen Shan's arm, looking confused.
