Chapter 164 A Gift from an Anti-Fan (2/2)

Tang Xia had been in a dither, but Ye Yifan's presence lessened her tension and gave her a sense of safety. So she passed the paper to him without hesitation.

Having glanced at the words on the paper, Ye Yifan's eyes become dimmer. He turned back and solaced Tang Xia. ”Don't worry. This should just be a trick!”

”But who would play such a trick!” Tang Xia shook her head exhaustedly.

”As an anchor, it's a good thing to be followed. But as more and more people follow you, there will be some who like you and those who dislike or even hate you. Such a trick should have been played by an anti-fan!”

Ye Yifan analyzed and speculated.

”Anti-fan? My anti-fan?” Tang Xia was amazed.

”Maybe! Actually, any popular anchor has his or her anti-fans. Just like me, I have lots of anti-fans, too!” Ye Yifan gave her a forced smile.

Hearing his words, Tang Xia opened her eyes widely. ”What? Do you have anti-fans, too?”

”This Prince Charming is so excellent. How is it possible that some people dislike him and become his anti-fans?”

Tang Xia thought it kind of inconceivable and incomprehensible.

Seeing that she was not as scared as before, Ye Yifan pulled her over to the couch and sat down. ”Why not? It's natural to have people hate you now that you've got people who like you.”

It was not until Tang Xia sat down on the couch that she was truly relieved.

She looked up at and asked Ye Yifan, ”Then would your anti-fans... play such a trick on you?”

Ye Yifan was at a loss for words and looked strained on hearing the question.

Tang Xia got her answer when she saw him in silence.

”Then the answer must be 'no'.” Her eyes turned red again and she said smoothly, ”I don't understand why this anti-fan would do this to me. I have been working so hard since I became an anchor.

”I never scheme during my live shows. And I try my best to accomplish the tasks. I just want to project myself as best as I can so that you will...”

She paused abruptly and looked nervous at once when she had said this because she realized that she had almost spilled the beans.

But Ye Yifan, who had been listening to her, narrowed his eyes immediately because he perceived something sensitively. He asked at once, ”Why did you stop? You want to project yourself as best as you can so that I will what?”

Having already been so nervous, Tang Xia even trembled when asked by him. She subconsciously shook her head at once and said vaguely, ”N-n-nothing...”

But how could her words muddle Ye Yifan when they could not even deceive herself?

Ye Yifan's eyes seemed to be shining. Then he focused his eyes on her and asked with uncertainty, ”Tang Xia, you are holding back something from me. Does this mean...”

Tang Xia had already been flustered. Now being asked by Ye Yifan, she was afraid that he had figured out something and didn't know whether she should answer him or not.

But the following words by Ye Yifan thoroughly disappointed Tang Xia, who was bashful and ashamed.

Ye Yifan said, ”Tang Xia, you don't trust me, do you? That's understandable. After all, anyone would be frightened by such a terrifying incident. It makes sense that you keep a wary eye on me.”

Why would she be afraid of him? Why would she keep a wary eye on him?

Tang Xia became anxious instantly after hearing his words, fearing that the misunderstanding between them would last. So she explained hastily, ”That's not the case. Ye Yifan, I'm not afraid of you, nor do I keep a wary eye on you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have opened the door for you when I heard your voice.”

But apparently, Ye Yifan was not conceived after hearing her explanation. He just gave a strained smile. ”I know.”

Tang Xia became completely impatient upon seeing his reaction. ”What do you know? It's not like what you think. It's not because I've been keeping a wary eye on you that I didn't finish my words, but... but...”

Ye Yifan looked at her with an expectant expression and asked with his insightful eyes, ”But what?”

Tang Xia became resolute, gritted her teeth, and said it out loud. ”But I was so embarrassed. Do I have to say that I became an anchor because of you and that all I wanted was to draw your attention and let you pay more attention to me by projecting myself so hard during the live show?”

When she had just finished, she was stunned.

”God! What the hell did I say? This... is too humiliating.”

Tang Xia felt hot in her cheeks all of a sudden, which were as red as thoroughly cooked crabs.

She promptly looked down embarrassedly, daring not look at how Ye Yifan reacted.

She huddled herself up into innermost part of the couch, itching to bury herself entirely into it.

But Ye Yifan, without giving her the chance to evade, pulled her out of the couch quickly, took her into his arms, and chuckled.

Her ear to his chest, Tang Xia was startled much more when she heard his laughter from his chest.

When Ye Yifan stopped chuckling finally, he gave her a bitter smile, touched her nose with his finger, and said helplessly, ”You're a silly girl.”

Tang Xia was embarrassed. But suddenly, she heard his phone ring from his pocket.

Ye Yifan held her with one arm while taking out the phone from the pocket and holding it in front of himself with the other.

Tang Xia popped her head out from his arms and took a look at the phone, where there was the name... Li Xianxian.
