The Villain Just Want to Be a Slacker [Transmigration]

Yu Ye quickly handed his phone to He Jinyun.

He Jinyun took it and examined the screen.

The photo was taken from a distance, but the tall figure of the man in the beige trench coat was unmistakable. Even without seeing his face, He Jinyun immediately recognized him.

It was Ye Zexi.

Standing next to him, naturally, was Tang Jing.

The two appeared to be chatting, smiles on their faces. However, the photo alone didn't provide much evidence to suggest anything more.

Sure enough, the next photo showed a more intimate moment.

In this shot, Ye Zexi seemed to have noticed the paparazzi, turning his head in their direction while placing a hand on Tang Jing's back.

A short animated clip followed, showing Ye Zexi keeping his arm around Tang Jing as they got into a luxury car together and drove off.

These images, along with a caption hinting at something more, were enough to capture attention and add a sense of credibility to the rumor.

The post was published just after midnight, and within moments, it soared to the top of the trending list.

Fans of both stars were left stunned.

"What's going on?"

"Whoa, no way—are Ye Zexi and Tang Jing really together?"

"No, no, what's Ye Zexi thinking? Going back to Tang Jing? What's so great about him? I don't get it..."

"Ha, I don't get what's so great about Ye Zexi either. He's just a spoiled rich kid. Is he really good enough for Tang Jing?"

"Exactly. I don't get it. Tang Jing is so talented—how could he fall for someone like Ye Zexi?"

"Come on, do we really need to tear one down to praise the other?"

"Your fans are really something else. But I'm a bit curious—if Tang Jing is so talented, how come he never placed first even once on 'The Times Idol'? Sure, Ye Zexi's just a rich kid, but he did take first place three times."

"You—"

After the incident with Cui Yi, many of Tang Jing's fans had been grateful to Ye Zexi. But gratitude didn't mean they were happy about the idea of Tang Jing and Ye Zexi being together.

On the other hand, Ye Zexi's fans had a simple stance. They were aware of his flaws, and they were open to constructive criticism. But any attempt to elevate one person while putting down Ye Zexi was completely unacceptable to them.

Once the first few comments sparked the debate, other fans quickly jumped in, leading to chaos in the comment section.

At this point, only neutral observers dared to say:

"They've been photographed together—what's there left to deny?"

"Oh, so what if they are together? They're young—it's normal. There's no need for fans to be tearing each other apart. What will you do if they actually make it public? Keep fighting every day?"

Seeing comments like this, the Xigua Ye became even more frustrated:

"Ye Zexi and Tang Jing are just friends. Please don't spread false rumors. Can't friends casually put an arm around each other? These photos don't prove anything."

"Seriously, it's 2020. Are we still jumping to conclusions just because two celebrities are close? Can't friends hang out and grab a meal together without it being something more?"
