Chapter 139: False Rumors
In the end, the predictable outcome always unfolded according to routine. Joshua lost all his chocolate to Luther.Joshua stared blankly as Luther scooped the chocolate away, mumbling, "This is really too much, you don’t even eat sweets..."
His cheek was suddenly pinched. Luther laughed, "That’s right, I don’t eat sweets, but I like bullying you, ha ha ha."
Joshua pulled his hand away, frowned, and looked at his phone screen. "Everyone, write me a post exposing my teammate’s crimes. This is way too much!"
[ha ha ha, Joshua, don’t cry, Luther will definitely return the chocolate tomorrow]
[I bet Joshua only needs to act cute a little]
Right at that moment, something was brought to Joshua’s lips. Joshua lowered his eyes, didn’t even see what it was before opening his mouth.
Henry felt the soft, moist lips brush against his finger. He paused for a second, then calmly withdrew his hand, but his fingers still tensed up uncontrollably.
By then, Joshua had already tossed Luther aside and run to sit next to Henry.
He rubbed his face against Henry’s shoulder, a peach-flavored candy still in his mouth. "As expected, leader is still the best."
"The best what? I’m the best!" Luther shouted angrily.
Joshua glanced at him once and said nothing.hat feeling proved to be absolutely correct.
Alright, this is a dating rumor, and Nine will not deny that he actually likes the fact that the very first person to have a dating rumor with Joshua turns out to be him.
But! Why did those idiots dare to curse at Joshua like that?! And besides, he is only a little ugly, that bunch only knows how to shame other people’s appearance!
Nine’s expression turned cold. He wanted to crush this whole thing immediately, but doing that would only make it look like the rumor was true and the company was just trying to cover it up.
[The Wolf Doesn’t Eat Meat]: Everyone, please take note, a baseless rumor is nothing but an unfounded rumor. Joshua can be friends with anyone he wants. The ones who insult other people’s appearance and use this as an excuse to curse at Joshua are the ones in the wrong. Hoping CM broadcasting will speak up soon.
[Exactly, they chose to drop this late at night, what a bunch of crooks]
[Looking at the comment section under that post feels like staring at a swarm of bots, all they know is to repeat appearance shaming and cursing]
[But I am a bit surprised about Joshua’s friend, to be honest, it seems like they are pretty close]
[Maybe they are best friends]
By the next morning, all kinds of information had already fermented. Joshua still had no idea what was going on, and only when he stepped outside did he notice Justin looking at him with a mix of worry and hesitation.
Today, they had a performance on a music show, the final stage of their promotion cycle. Noticing Justin’s gaze, Joshua couldn’t help but ask, "Justin, did something happen?"
Leonard honestly just wanted to kick Justin.
At that moment, Luther also came over, slinging an arm around Joshua’s shoulders, cheerfully saying, "Forget it, let’s go, Ms Elly is definitely already waiting for us, if we’re late, she’ll be mad."
Justin scratched his head, "You just slept a bit late yesterday, and we have to get up early today, so I was worried you might be tired."
Hearing that, Joshua gave him a thumbs up, "I’m not that weak, let’s go. Oh, right, where’s the leader?"
Luther answered without a care, "He went to see Ms Elly first, heard there was something they needed to talk about."
Henry always had duties they didn’t, so Joshua didn’t think much of it.
And indeed, Ms Elly had been waiting for them early. She looked over the group and nodded, "Let’s go. Once we finish this last promotion schedule, we can start preparing for the year-end award shows. Still busy but much better than right now."
Joshua nodded obediently and sat beside Henry.
He lowered his gaze to his hands. Even though everything seemed normal, he still felt a faint sense of unease for some reason.
Maybe Justin was right, waking up early affected his mood...
