380: A Six-digit Price Tag

A Six-digit Price Tag

3When she woke up the next day, Lu Ning's eyes were as swollen as walnuts.3

When Lu Jingzhi came to see her, he was simultaneously worried and amused.

"Laugh if you want." Lu Ning looked at him helplessly.

Lu Jingzhi pursed his lips and smiled. He leaned closer and looked at her. "Sister, you're still very beautiful."

Lu Ning sighed. "As beautiful as a walnut?"

"Puhaha."

Lu Ning: "…"

Lu Ning was not feeling well and did not get out of bed for the entire day. She lay on the bed lazily, playing with her phone.

Eventually, when she went on Weibo, she realized that she was trending on the search.

???

She clicked on it, and saw a discussion about her participation in the N1 competition.

It was from a netizen called @IHearTheMostRumors: [Well, I just found out that the young lady who has been popular in A City recently seemed to have a serious cold when she participated in that impressive competition. She even got first place! I'm really good for nothing compared to her.]

Many people quickly flocked to this post.

@FastTabloidReader: [I know, I know! You're talking about my new wifey! Ning Bae!]

@TheWeatherIsPrettyGood: [F*ck! Is it true? Yet another rumor? She's that awesome?]

@DontWannaWriteToday: [Totally amazing! She gets first place when she catches a bad cold, when I catch a cold I can only add 1 plus 1.]

@ALittleAppleEveryday: [Is it that sports meet girl? I'm out of the loop again. What impressive competition? What first place?]

Immediately, someone explained and guided them to the original blog post.

Lu Ning took a glance and exited the app. She thought that her popularity would trend and pass quickly; however, now, it seemed like it was getting hotter and hotter?

What's wrong with the entertainment industry recently? Hurry and come up with some new juicy gossip to cover up this stuff!

Lu Ning was not too concerned about this. It did not matter to her whether it was there or not, but it was best if it was not. If she became too popular, it would attract unnecessary trouble; she really did not want to deal with that.

However, such things could only be left to fate.

…

Lin Ci arrived at school relatively early.

When they arrived, a few girls from the same class came over to her.

"Little Ci, can we look at your bracelet?"

Lin Ci was stunned and looked at them. "How did you know?"

"It's all over the school."

Lin Ci: "… That fast?"

"It spread yesterday. Everyone's chatting about it on social media."

Lin Ci sighed helplessly. Everything truly could be leaked so easily. Many people in No. 1 High School were connected to their circle, so it was not that surprising it would spread.

Lin Ci tugged at her sleeve, revealing the exquisite bracelet on her wrist.

"And you're wearing it just like that!? You're too… scary!"

Lin Ci understood what she meant. She herself felt that it was a little scary, but this was all to test if Lu Ning knew about the existence of this bracelet.

The few of them looked at it, not daring to touch it.

"Little Ci, did you give Sister Ning that down jacket last time?"

Lin Ci looked over, puzzled. "Down jacket? What down jacket?"

"It's the down jacket that Sister Ning wore the day she caught a cold last time. We thought it looked good and wanted to search for something in the same style, then we realized that the down jacket has a six-digit price tag!"

Lin Ci was stunned again.

A six-digit price tag?

"We know that Sister Ning's family's situation isn't very good, so were you the one who gave it to her?"

Lin Ci was a little confused and subconsciously wanted to cover up for Lu Ning. "I… I guess…"

"I knew it! Those people are spouting nonsense again!"

Lin Ci looked over. "Nonsense? Who's spouting nonsense?"

"Someone saw Sister Ning's down jacket and said that she… that she might have been… by someone…"

They were a little embarrassed to say it, but Lin Ci instantly understood what they wanted to say.
