Chapter 103 Famous
Violet was completely dazed, signing autographs for them in a trance.
"Let's take a photo together!"
The younger students were very enthusiastic. "Violet, when will you release a new song? I've had that song on repeat for a week. Even though I still think it's great, I really want to hear your new songs."
"Violet, you're so amazing. We didn't know you were from our school. When we saw you just now, we weren't sure if we should come say hi. We were so worried we'd mistake you for someone else."
"But as soon as we heard your voice, we knew it was really Violet!"
Violet cheerfully took photos with them.
Isabella was also pulled into the frame.
The younger students got their photos and autographs and were very happy.
Right after the younger students left, a male student walked over.
The boy faced Violet, looking like he wanted to say something but kept hesitating. After going back and forth several times, he took a deep breath, pulled out a bouquet of flowers from behind his back, and stammered, "Violet, I... I like you."
Violet froze: "..."
What?
How did you...
Such a sudden confession?
Isabella was also caught off guard and spat out the water she had just drunk.
Passing students all turned to look.
"That's Violet from Class 11, Grade 12. Her song has been really popular on MelodyNest lately!"
"What song? Never heard of it."
"It's in the top ten of the new songs chart. Just search for it and you'll know!"
"What? Violet from MelodyNest is actually at our school? What a coincidence! At first I thought it was just someone with the same name!"
"It's really her. Someone on the campus forum figured it out—the voice is exactly the same!"
"Then I should go get an autograph too!"
The boy who confessed hadn't gotten a response yet before he was pushed away by the crowd.
"Violet, hi, I'm from Class 7, Grade 12. Can we get to know each other?"
"Violet, let's be friends."
"Violet, let me treat you to dinner after school."
"..."
Violet looked at the crowded scene before her, completely stunned.
The boy who had confessed pushed his way back. "Violet, will you be my girlfriend?"
Violet was having a breakdown inside.
Her mind was full of "Who am I? Where am I?"
Compared to Violet's confusion, Isabella was calm.
This scene was nothing. Back in Violet's peak days, Emerald City's largest concert hall was packed with her fans—men and women, young and old, from all over.
Violet looked at the boy holding flowers and refused, "Sorry, I can't accept you."
The boy was puzzled: "Why?"
Violet was speechless inside.
No matter why, I can't accept you.
Charles watched this scene from afar, rushed over, and said to the boy with a dark expression:
"Don't you know she has a boyfriend? What are you trying to prove here?"
The boy was stunned.
"What?"
He looked at Violet in confusion. "You... you have a boyfriend?"
"I'm her boyfriend." Charles glared at the boy and possessively put his arm around Violet's shoulder to assert his claim.
Violet was first stunned by these words, then her face turned disgusted.
"Charles, are you sick?" She glared at Charles and pushed him away. "We've already broken up."
Charles had never taken Violet's talk of breaking up seriously.
He didn't think Violet could leave him, and she shouldn't leave him either.
He didn't expect that after helping her out in front of so many people, she still wouldn't show gratitude and gave him no face at all.
Charles's expression gradually turned cold. "Violet, I sincerely apologized to you that day. You hit me, and I didn't care. Besides, it's been so long—are you still going to hold a grudge against me?"
He spoke lightly, as if they were just a couple who had a minor disagreement.
Seeing this, the surrounding boys backed off one after another.
"So Violet and Charles didn't actually break up—they just had a fight."
"What a shame, I thought there was a chance!"
"..."
Violet listened to Charles's words, both incredulous and angry.
"I've already broken up with you, Charles. Stop pestering me!"
She glared at Charles and was about to leave.
A cold gleam flashed in Charles's eyes, and then he grabbed Violet's hand. "Violet, stop making a scene, okay?"
No matter what, he had to make everyone believe that he and Violet hadn't broken up, that Violet was still his.
As Charles was scheming this way, suddenly, the boy who had just confessed to Violet punched Charles in the face.
"Let go of Violet!"
The boy had been quite shy when confessing earlier, but now he acted like a real man.
Charles was stunned by this unexpected punch.
"You dare hit me?"
Charles's anger flared up immediately.
He clenched his fist and swung back.
The boy had brought a few buddies along when he came to confess. Seeing their friend get hit, they became furious.
"You dare hit my bro? I'll kick you to death!"
A group of people rushed up and started beating Charles.
The scene quickly became chaotic.
Charles was soon beaten into a ball on the ground, unable to get up.
More and more students gathered to watch, sighing at the scene.
"Isn't that Charles from Class 1 getting beaten?"
"What happened to him?"
"Someone confessed to Violet, he got into an argument with that guy, and then they started fighting."
"This is a two-guys-fighting-over-one-girl drama!"
"Stop it, everyone stop!" Violet was afraid things would get out of hand and attract Jeremy, so she immediately went to pull people apart.
Seeing this, the boy who confessed also went to pull his buddies back. "Okay, okay, stop, everyone stop."
Only then did they settle down.
Charles was covered in injuries and couldn't even stand up.
The boy asked persistently, "Violet, they said you and Charles didn't break up. Is that true?"
Hearing this, Charles suddenly looked at the boy. "Give up on that idea! Violet could never be with you!"
"Charles, can you just shut up?"
Violet snapped coldly, then turned to look at the boy. She was explaining both to him and to everyone else present: "It's a fact that Charles and I broke up, and we'll never get back together."
She didn't want any ambiguity with Charles.
Hearing this, the boy's whole face lit up.
No matter what, as long as Violet was single now, it meant he still had a chance!
Just then, the class bell rang.
The boy said goodbye to Violet and left with his buddies.
Charles naturally didn't miss the glimmer of hope in the boy's eyes as he left. He got up from the ground, staring hard at Violet with a dark, angry expression. "Violet, I never thought you were this kind of person!"
"Can't wait to be with another guy right after breaking up with me? You probably wanted to dump me all along, didn't you?"
