Lu Er lay sprawled on the soft carpet, her mind a jumbled mess.

Song Jingmo's statement, "Unless there is a legitimate and reasonable request," is like a bait dangling in front of us.

Should I say, "Because I like you, I won't let you go"?

He's a coward.

Frustrated, Lu Er turned over in bed, picked up her phone, and opened the WeChat group for the three mediocre people.

[Deer King: Feeling down, life feels bleak. Same old spot, coming out to drink with Dad. [knife][knife][knife]]

Not long after the message was sent out, Chu Mian and Jiang Sheng's complaints flooded the screen.

But they were decisive in their actions, all saying they would arrive immediately.

The bar's private rooms, shut out of the outside noise late at night, reflect the lights in the glasses, creating a hazy, dreamlike effect.

Without any further ado, the three of them started drinking.

Lu Er seemed to have a grudge against alcohol, chugging down bottle after bottle.

Chu Mian and Jiang Sheng exchanged a glance, both knowing that this ancestor must have suffered another setback at Song Jingmo's hands.

I didn't ask any questions, I just drank with them.

They drank until 3 a.m., and the table and floor were covered with empty bottles.

Lu Er, her eyes glazed with drunkenness, waved her hand: "Jiang Sheng, pay...pay the bill!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Sheng slammed his glass on the table and complained, slightly drunk, "In all these years, I've never seen you pay the bill even once!"

"It's always just me and Chu Mian. You're a top star, you must have more money than you could spend in several lifetimes, right?"

"Why are you still being so stingy? You have to buy it tonight!"

Chu Mian, also tipsy, chimed in, "Exactly! You're a rich kid, how can you be so stingy with your brothers?"

A barely perceptible dimness flashed in Lu Er's hazy, drunken eyes.

Leaning back on the sofa, his voice hoarse and vulnerable from drinking, he said, "You don't understand. I only feel secure when I have more money saved up."

As she spoke, she tugged at the corners of her mouth, revealing a smile that was more like a grimace: "If I get dumped again, at least I still have money, so I won't be in too much trouble."

These words were like a heavy stone, instantly shattering Chu Mian and Jiang Sheng's drunkenness.

They all knew about Lu Er's painful past.

The fear and despair of being abandoned by loved ones had long been ingrained in his bones, forming an almost obsessive dependence on money.

Because that was the only thing he could hold onto that wouldn't betray him.

Jiang Sheng silently took out her phone and paid the bill without saying a word.

Chu Mian patted Lu Er on the shoulder, and the three of them helped each other back to the villa.

Lu Er slumped on the sofa, her head buzzing from the alcohol.

Just then, my phone rang.

"My little darling, what trouble have you gotten yourself into now?" Jiang Qingyan's voice was both anxious and angry. "You and Dr. Song were photographed together tonight!"

"It's trending on Weibo now, you should check it out quickly and then post a clarification on Weibo."

Lu Er's heart skipped a beat, and she sobered up considerably. She hurriedly opened Weibo.

really.

The hashtags #LuErRelationship# and #TopCelebrityBoyfriendSuspectedToBeExposed# were prominently featured at the top of the trending searches.

Clicking in, I saw several photos posted by the most popular marketing accounts.

There was a moment when, at the airport, he panicked after being abandoned by Song Jingmo and grabbed Song Jingmo's clothes from behind.

There was also a photo of two people returning from Poland, one in black and one in white, who were insisted to be wearing matching outfits at the airport, and Song Jingmo helping to pull the suitcase the whole time.

The comments section has already exploded.

[I'm taking my LuLu away. No dates. I've already stated that I'm straight and homophobic!]

[Hey upstairs, go check it out! That statement on Weibo is gone! It's been deleted!]

[Holy crap?! It really was deleted! When did this happen? This is confirmed!]

[Ahhh! Although... this mysterious young man is so handsome. His charisma is amazing, and he and Lu Bao look so good together!]

[Aloof doctor (top) x God-tier top idol (bottom)! This setup is absolutely hilarious!]

Sisters! Come on, let's get this sweet! I found some photos of them from their school days!

[At the sports meet, a young man handed Lu Bao water; in the library, a young man explained a problem to Lu Bao—their eyes were practically glued to each other!]

[Seeking directions! Seeking resources!]

Lu Er swiped her fingers across the screen, looking at the old photos that fans had unearthed.

In the photo, Song Jingmo's gaze is focused intently on her younger self.

That silent indulgence and tenderness can be felt even across the years.

Seeing this, Lu Er couldn't help but laugh like an idiot. How could she have been so silly back then, not even noticing this?

What made Lu Er's heart race even faster was that fans not only dug up photos, but also started creating content.

Various fanfictions about him and Song Jingmo sprang up like mushrooms after rain.

Like a child who has stolen candy, Lu Er excitedly clicked to watch.

When he saw Song Jingmo pin him down on the bed, biting his Adam's apple and saying, "Er'er, you are mine," he felt a surge of heat rush to his head.

My nose suddenly felt hot, and two streams of bright red blood flowed down without warning.

Lu Er frantically grabbed a tissue to cover her nose, inwardly cursing herself for being so cowardly.

Yet, I couldn't help but click and save those fanfictions that really appealed to me.

Just then, I came across a Weibo post from a fan:

[@LuLu'sSweetheart: Whether it's true or not, I'm totally shipping this couple's looks! Wishing LuLu and her boyfriend a long and happy marriage! May they be forever united! [heart][heart][heart]]

Perhaps it was the alcohol, perhaps the fanfiction gave me courage, or perhaps the secret joy in my heart could no longer be suppressed...

On a whim, Lu Er's fingers seemed to have a mind of their own, and she inexplicably liked the Weibo post.

Although the like was quickly removed a few seconds later, screenshots had already spread across the internet.

The hashtag #LuErLikesBlessingsCommentsOnRelationship# trended at lightning speed, followed by a bright red "Explosive" label.

The phone rang incessantly again; it was Jiang Qingyan again.

This time, the voice was almost a roar: "Lu Er! What exactly do you want to do?!"

"Are you trying to drive me crazy so you can inherit my Alipay Huabei account?"

"I asked you to clarify, and you went and liked that post? Do you even want to stay in the entertainment industry?"

"You issue me a statement right now, immediately, or I'll come to your house!"

Lu Er held the phone further away, listening to Jiang Qingyan's furious outburst on the other end, but instead of feeling panicked, she felt a sense of exhilaration.

clarify?

He doesn't want to.
