Chapter 47 She Was Kept

Kyoto University.
In the evening, a post and countless photos exploded on the entire campus forum—#Shen Shao Publicly Pursues School Beauty, Campus Heartthrob Walks into the Rainy Night#
Attached pictures: (Koenigsegg) (Shen Junxi holds an umbrella for Su Niansheng) (Shi Yubai soaked to the skin)
[Oh my god, what breaking news! I can hardly believe my eyes!]
[Invited, I was there. It’s really shocking. Shen Shao is so romantic. I swear no woman can refuse his confession!]
[Wuwuwu I always thought Shen Shao was cold and uninterested in women. Turns out he met someone who moved his heart!]
[Ah ah ah my CP is real! I thought they’ve been acting weird lately!]
[No way? So the hottest topic on our forum #Did Su Niansheng Catch Shi Yubai Today# is finally going to come true?]
[Hard to say. Su Niansheng likes Shi Yubai so much, she shouldn’t give up easily.]
[Come on, Shen Shao crushes Shi Yubai in every aspect. If I were Su Niansheng, I’d definitely choose him!]
[Yeah. Su Niansheng has chased Shi Yubai for years without any response. Even if she likes him, her enthusiasm should have faded.]
[Do you think Shi Yubai really doesn’t like Su Niansheng at all? Then why did he take the elective model class? Why did he look so bad when he saw Su Niansheng leave with Shen Shao, and even got caught in the rain?]
[He gave his umbrella to Lin Yixuan. Don’t guess the heartthrob’s thoughts…]
The number of replies quickly exceeded a thousand, topping the charts. Everyone was enjoying the gossip. However, by midnight, another post quietly appeared.
The poster used a newly created account. The title was—#Su Niansheng Failed to Pursue Shi Yubai, Fell Into Depravity, and Was Kept by Shen Shao at a High Price#
In an instant, the forum exploded again.
[Oh my god, is this true? You can’t spread rumors like this!]
[Poster: 100% true. If it’s fake, may I have bad luck forever!]
[Poster, I believe you! What status does Shen Shao have? What is Su Niansheng? She’s just good-looking. Even Shi Yubai doesn’t want her. Does she deserve to climb up to Shen Shao? It’s just a fling. By the way, poster, can you reveal how much the “keeping fee” is?]
[Poster: 20,000 yuan.]
[Only 20,000? That’s not much!]
[Poster: That’s all she’s worth.]
[20,000 is already a lot, okay? That’s 240,000 a year—enough to buy an apartment in my hometown. I seriously suspect she had other benefactors before Shen Shao, otherwise she wouldn’t be so rich!]
[Poster: Definitely. Her family just collects trash.]
[I never thought she’d be such a woman—selling her body for money!]
[Poster: There’s a lot you don’t know. I have many scandals about her here—all shady!]
[Please share!]
[Then she must really love Shi Yubai—donating all the “physical labor money” she earned outside to him hahaha!]
“What a pity. Shi Yubai isn’t interested in this unclean woman. He likes Lin Yixuan from the Art Department…”
Lin Yixuan sat in front of the computer, typing furiously. The green glow of the screen reflected her extremely proud face.
She gathered with Shen Junxi’s haters on the forum who were jealous of Su Niansheng, venting their anger and twisted feelings about seeing the previous post. They couldn’t be happier.
But most people who clicked into this post remained skeptical.
[Who is this poster? They talk so smoothly, seem to know the details, even the exact “keeping fee”?]
[Yeah yeah. Since you posted it, reveal your identity and name names. Otherwise, it’s all treated as spreading rumors!]
[These scandals appeared too suddenly, right? Never heard of them before.]
[Eating melon…]
As dawn broke, the popularity of this post grew higher and higher—surpassing the previous trending post, and even threatening to go viral.
Lin Yixuan was afraid things would get too big and involve herself, so she urgently deleted the post. But screenshots had already spread everywhere, and the rumors spread rapidly on campus.
The next morning, when Su Niansheng entered the school, she received many strange looks. Some people pointed and whispered behind her back. She thought it was the chain reaction from Shen Junxi’s confession and didn’t take it seriously—until she reached the Navigation Building and heard Duan Chengyu cursing.
“F**k! Which bastard dares to spread rumors about Xiaoqian sis on the forum? If I catch him, I’ll break his legs!”
“A newly created account—obviously someone did it on purpose.”
“Give me the ID.”
She walked around the pillar and saw Zhong Zhe, Duan Chengyu, and Shen Junxi with an extremely grim face.
“What’s wrong? What are you discussing?”
“Nothing. Just waiting for you to go to class.”
Seeing her, the three immediately resumed their normal demeanor, chatting and laughing as if nothing had happened.
“Really?” Su Niansheng raised her eyebrows suspiciously. “Give me your phone.”
She was about to take Duan Chengyu’s phone when Shen Junxi, taking advantage of his height, snatched it away. “Really nothing—just some trash videos he’s watching, not suitable for girls.”
Duan Chengyu: “…” Jun Ge, you don’t have to slander me to protect her, right?
“Oh~” Su Niansheng nodded.
She didn’t believe it.
“If you don’t give it to me, fine. I have my own phone.”
She opened the campus forum and saw the overwhelming screenshots of the rumor posts.
Zhong Zhe frowned hesitantly, Duan Chengyu took a deep breath, and Shen Junxi’s brows were tightly knitted. “Niansheng, I’ll clarify this at school and find out who exactly…”
“No need.”
The three looked at her worriedly, but saw her finish reading with a calm expression, as if she didn’t care at all.
“I thought it was something—just this? But what’s speechless is that the ‘keeping fee’ is only 20,000? Can’t they make it higher?”
Zhong Zhe and Duan Chengyu: “…” They thought she’d cry when seeing the post, but she was so calm—even joking. What a strong heart!
“What’s so surprising? Beautiful women have these troubles.” Su Niansheng narcissistically comforted them. “Moreover, I know this person.”
“Who?!”
Shen Junxi’s eyes sharpened instantly, piercingly.
Other than Lin Yixuan, who else would spread rumors about her? And still use such low-level, ridiculous methods as always.
“This matter doesn’t need your help or clarification. Responding to groundless rumors will only trap me in a self-justification dilemma, and it will get more and more troublesome. I have my own way to deal with it. Don’t worry.” She threw him a reassuring look and walked towards the classroom. “Let’s go to class first!”
Now, getting enough credits is her top priority!
“Then…”
Duan Chengyu glanced at Shen Junxi hesitantly.
“Jun Ge, still check?”
“Check.”
“First, seal the forum and delete all related posts.”
“Okay, leave it to me!”
