They don't actually think I like them, do they?

028. You know nothing about marmalade!

In the brightly lit event room, the lights shone on the wine glasses on the table, and the music of "Wolf Fang Moon, Her Beauty Fades" played in the background.

Lin Han stared at Fang Yumeng with wide eyes, completely bewildered.

Even in such a noisy environment, Fang Yumeng's words were still caught.

"Su Ruxue? What Su Ruxue?! Mangzi is the best!"

Cao Dan, who was on the podium, suddenly stopped what she was doing and stared intently at Fang Yumeng.

"Are you ever going to stop?! Do you even know who Orange Brother likes? You're always nagging about it!" Yu Yue stopped dancing, put her hands on her hips, and shouted.

"I...I didn't say anything!"

Fang Yumeng immediately covered her head like a child who had done something wrong and said.

However, once the powder keg is ignited, it's impossible to stop it.

"It's none of your business."

Yu Yue first calmed Fang Yumeng down, then continued to glare at Cao Dan.

"You don't know anything! It's like you only know who Orange Jam likes!" Cao Dan retorted angrily.

"Isn't 'Hair Like Snow' enough? All of Orange Jam's deep affection for Little Snow Jam is in it!"

"Hahaha, if that's the case, isn't 'Seven Mile Fragrance' more affectionate than this one?" Cao Dan laughed mercilessly.

“I think the emotions in this song, ‘Hair Like Snow,’ are more genuine!” Yu Yue said earnestly. “I’ve liked Ju Zi Jiang for a long time, so I can still make that judgment.”

"You're talking like nobody's a fan! Orange God has only been in the industry for half a year, what are you pretending to be a ten-year veteran fan for?!"

"What do you mean by 'this song is even more real'? Are you Ju Zi Jiang himself? Do you know what he was thinking?"

For a moment, the atmosphere in the activity room became extremely tense, and no one else dared to interrupt.

In fact, they also have their own camps to support, but the conversation between the two already represents the feelings of most people, and there is no need to add fuel to the fire.

"that......"

Just then, Lin Han raised his hand from below the stage.

Is it possible that nobody likes marmalade?

Lin Han couldn't take it anymore. He just wanted to listen to some music, have a few drinks, and enjoy the party atmosphere.

Who knew these guys would start arguing over something so trivial!

Don't you think this is really boring?!

I don't even know who I like, so what are you all arguing about?

Previously, Lin Han let the online CP fans argue, adhering to the principle of "it's none of my business" and taking a wait-and-see approach.

Unexpectedly, he suffered the consequences in real life so quickly!

Upon hearing Lin Han's words, both the club president and Yu Yue simultaneously revealed disdainful expressions. The others were even more amused and annoyed.

What kind of ultimate Yunzi is this?

Anyone who says that Orange Jam doesn't have a crush on anyone is either a charlatan or a complete country bumpkin who's never been online.

Let alone fans of Orange Jam, even casual observers who have a 3G connection should know Orange Jam's reputation as "China's most affectionate person".

Out of consideration for Lin Han's status as a newcomer, they did not directly retort.

Yu Yue, however, said tactfully, "Teacher Lin, it's common knowledge that Orange Jam has a girl he likes."

"Why is it common sense?!"

Lin Han could no longer describe his feelings as simply confused.

This is like sitting at home and getting blamed out of nowhere!

Seeing Lin Han's excited expression, Yu Yue sighed inwardly.

She had already concluded that this freshman was a bookworm who didn't use the internet much and was out of touch with the times.

After all, students who can be admitted to the top 100 universities without exception are all study fanatics.

It's normal to not go online if you're focused on studying.

"You'll understand once you listen to a few more of Orange Jam's songs. If you're interested, I can recommend a few to you, such as 'Blue and White Porcelain,' 'Nocturne,' and this love letter written to Su Ruxue, 'Hair Like Snow,' which are all very good songs."

"Tsk tsk tsk, another love letter?" Cao Dan, standing to the side, made a rather disgusted expression.

Yu Yue was so angry that her face turned red, and she was about to continue cursing back.

Lin Han said:

“I’ve listened to all his songs, but I don’t think these love songs prove that he has someone he likes. Maybe they’re just a symbolic expression?”

"Oh dear! It means you didn't understand, Master Lin!"

Cao Dan also grew impatient. Lin Hanyunzi was one thing, but now she was showing off her own understanding.

"You've only scratched the surface; you don't understand marmalade at all! Once you truly understand it, you'll know why!"

"Okay..." Lin Han said helplessly.

This is impossible to talk about!

How can Lin Han prove that he doesn't like that person? This is like trying to prove that although you're shooting at the person in the photo, you actually have nothing to do with that person; you're just shooting at the photo.

This logic may seem strange, but the underlying principle remains the same. It's like how people can be attracted to photos of cross-dressing men, except they're not actually attracted to the man, but rather to the beautiful woman they imagine based on those photos.

Moreover, even if Lin Han manages to convince these few people now, he still won't be able to convince so many people online.

"Don't pretend you know so much about marmalade. If you think mangoes and marmalade are a true love, you're just a half-baked expert!" Yu Yue said.

Just as the argument was about to go on and on, a loud shout interrupted the two of them.

"Why don't you just ask Orange Jam herself about this?"

The person who said those words was Fang Yumeng, who had been keeping her head down the whole time.

Both of them were stunned at the same time.

"Where can I ask?"

"Ju Zi Jiang is at our school, in the art college, she just enrolled!" Fang Yumeng said.

"Such a thing exists??" Cao Dan asked in surprise.

“I think I did hear before that Orange Jam came to the University of California, Berkeley…” Xia Tao added.

Cao Dan and Yu Yue, who both considered themselves die-hard fans of Orange Jam, fell silent.

As a fan, it's really embarrassing to have to be told this by someone else!

"That makes sense! Let's find the Orange God and ask him face to face!" Cao Dan slammed his hand on the table and said in a loud voice.

"If I'm lucky enough to meet Brother Orange, I'll definitely tell him to cherish Su Ruxue!" Yu Yue said with a face full of longing.

"However, I heard that Orange Jam is quite low-key, and I haven't heard anyone say they've seen him at school yet," Xia Tao said, pouring cold water on the idea.

"It's alright, after all, that's the Orange God, how could you possibly see him so easily?" Cao Dan said.

"Then it's decided! Finding Orange Jam herself will be our Anime Study Club's first task this semester!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the members were filled with excitement and high spirits.

"Wait a minute!"

Lin Han raised his hand again, looking horrified. "Aren't we the Anime Study Club? Why are you looking for Orange Jam?!"

"No conflict! Find Orange Jam and ask her clearly so that our club relationships can be more harmonious!"

As Cao Dan spoke, she pointed at Lin Han, then at Fang Yumeng.

"Since Orange Jam is at the art academy, I'll leave this matter to the two of you!"

029. Do you still think making marmalade is simple?

"Me...me??"

Lin Han had no desire to get involved in this pointless game of finding himself.

"I can't do it!"

"You and Xiaomeng are both in the art school, and Juzijiang is also in the art school, so it's the most appropriate for you two to ask."

"No," Lin Han said. "It's just finding someone. Don't you think it's too frivolous to treat this kind of thing as a club mission?"

"That's wrong!"

As Cao Dan spoke, he patted Lin Han on the shoulder and said seriously,

"Master Lin, this is no small matter; it is an extremely arduous and difficult task!"

“That’s right!” Xia Tao chimed in.

"Master Lin, you need to know, Orange Jam is a superstar! Who doesn't know him?"

"It's been over two days since registration started, and such a high-profile figure is nowhere to be found at school. Do you think Orange Jam is simple?"

"Before the start of the school year, many people had already mentioned online that they wanted to find orange marmalade. As a result, many people searched for several days without success. Do you still think that orange marmalade is easy to find?"

Lin Han was speechless.

Yes, why is it that we haven't heard a single word about such a big target as Orange Jam?

Are all the students at Beijing University idiots?

In fact, the reason is very simple.

It's not that they're incapable, but rather that Lin Han has indeed put in a lot of effort to conceal his identity.

Lin Han, possessing the [Makeup Skill Card (Advanced)], is an expert at disguising himself. Even the world's top-level intelligence agencies probably can't match him in this regard!

Lin Hanfan always appeared at school with a "middle-part hairstyle" that was a stark contrast to his on-screen appearance.

Normally, Lin Han presents a pure and innocent image to the media. He deliberately makes himself look like a bookworm, like the kind of nerdy genius who was admitted to university through special admission.

In this way, Lin Han's image and temperament were completely unrelated to Ju Zi Jiang.

Even if someone thinks he looks somewhat similar, they will quickly dismiss it because the vibe doesn't match.

Because everyone has an idol in their mind, people always feel that celebrities should act like celebrities.

When you see a man on the street who blends into the crowd and exudes a casual air, it's hard to associate him with a celebrity.

Conversely, if a woman who isn't particularly attractive wears a glamorous dress and high heels, and walks with a style that is clearly different from that of an average college student, and is accompanied by a few followers, it's hard for onlookers not to suspect that she is some kind of internet celebrity or star.

Besides its understated appearance

After registering the day before yesterday, Lin Han wandered around for a bit and then quickly left the school, where he has been living off-campus ever since.

Even in class today, I sat alone in a secluded corner. After class, I would pick up a book and start reading. Apart from class, I rarely stayed at school and didn't interact much with the people around me.

Finally, Lin Han wasn't stupid. Apart from his teachers and counselors, he was using the alias "Lin Han" in all other places at school.

Lin Han also forgot where she saw the name "Lin Han"; she just picked it up and used it on a whim.

With these combined moves, no one really discovered Lin Han's identity in a short period of time!

After all, we are all students at the University of the Hundred Schools, and we have so many things to do at the beginning of the semester. We can't be looking for someone who looks like orange jam 24 hours a day.

But Lin Han was still very clear about it.

This series of moves is ultimately just a stopgap measure and cannot be kept secret for long.

After all, the aura surrounding Orange Jam is too strong. Once he is discovered at Beijing University, it's only a matter of time.

It could be a week, a month, or even just a day or two before it's discovered; Lin Han wouldn't be surprised.

However, Lin Han wanted to delay as long as possible.

At the beginning of the semester, there was an overwhelming demand in the freshmen group for Ju Zi Jiang. If he were discovered, the consequences would be dire, so Lin Han had to avoid the limelight.

After a while, when the public's calls for Orange Jam aren't as strong, and Lin Han is caught again, although it will definitely still be a bloodbath, at least the commotion won't be as big as it is now, and Lin Han will suffer less.

"In short, Lin Dashen, Xiaomeng, I'm leaving this matter to you!" the club president said solemnly.
