It was very similar to Lù Yue'an's, but upon closer inspection, there were still many differences. The color of this one was clearer and purer than the other.2

It looked a little more expensive than the other one, and it had been meticulously designed, including the other embellishments on the necklace.

Lu Ning looked at Gu Chen and did not speak for a long time.

"Didn't you use that other one? So this one's for you."

"…"

"You don't usually wear accessories. I see that all the girls in your class are wearing bracelets and necklaces, so why don't you try wearing them too."

"…"

Seeing that Lu Ning was not speaking, Gu Chen thought that she did not like it.

"What is it?"

Lu Ning sighed and looked at him. She could not help but laugh. "If I wore this, I'll become the target of so many thieves."

Gu Chen could not help but laugh. "It's fine. I sent someone to protect you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he had let it slip.

Lu Ning immediately turned to look at him. "Sent someone? Who?"

Gu Chen: "…"

It's over. I said too much.

Lu Ning frowned and looked at him, but Gu Chen did not say anything. She did not ask further and only sighed. "It's fine as long as you don't delay other things for my sake."

Gu Chen heaved a sigh of relief and nodded. He raised his hand and patted her head. "Don't worry. There are so many of us, we won't get delayed because of you."

Seeing that Lu Ning did not pursue the matter, Gu Chen immediately changed the topic. "Did you have a good time, acting as a flower?"

Lu Ning nodded. "It's pretty fun."

"I heard that Huo Jinyan will be leaving at the end of this semester?"

Lu Ning's eyes flitted, but she still replied naturally, "Yes, Teacher Han will be back next semester."

As she spoke, someone called for her. She responded and went over.

Gu Chen looked at her back and could not help but frown slightly.

She did not show it, but it was not the first time Gu Chen had met her. That fleeting expression of hers was easy to catch.

Gu Chen's heart was in turmoil.

This girl… could it be? Does she have feelings for Huo Jinyan too? Wasn't there nothing between them before…

Was I not observing carefully enough?

He was prepared to let nature take its course, but all of this really gave him the feeling that his precious crop was about to be gobbled up by some pig.

…

While Lu Ning was rehearsing happily, someone was already fabricating and releasing some bad things about her.

Recently, a few media outlets had been posting articles that hinted at Lu Ning's bad character. However, they did not cause much of a stir; those who liked Lu Ning would say a few words when they dropped by, but eventually they could not be bothered to say more and simply closed their eyes.

After people found out about Lu Ning, she immediately had her own fan club. Someone even set up a Weibo account specially to post photos and information about Lu Ning, appointing herself as her official media custodian. However, after taking Lu Ning's position as a third-year student into consideration, she had pinned a post telling everyone not to disturb Lu Ning's studies for now, and that Lu Ning would probably meet everyone once she entered society proper.

These accounts that were specially set up for Lu Ning were quickly followed by many. In just two days, they had gained nearly a million fans—Lu Ning's overwhelming popularity was clear.

However, recently, there had been more and more posts defaming Lu Ning, so even some anti-smear sites had popped up.

Lu Ning was not in the entertainment industry, but she had everything that celebrities in the entertainment industry had.

Recently, the anti-smears had been paying attention to a blogger called @TheTabloidKnows, and their media outlet had been frequently posting smears on Lu Ning, making her fans very unhappy. So, they organized people to go to the original post to comment and fight back against the slurs, but that blogger actually replied to every one of their posts…
